The costilla taco! Everything is Yummy!! Warms the soul! Had lunch here again. Was let down by the soup. Looks like they've changed the recipe/flavors. This time it was bland & oversalted. Tasted more like a vegetable broth with barely any mutton/sheep flavor. & had rice & chickpeas in it, that took away from the flavor even more. A really pity! The previous version was flavoursome & rich. The ribs were oversalted too. Management, please take note!

We travel to walk, explore and find hidden gem local eats. Finding this Taqueria Orinoco was like…read morehitting the jackpot. The array of sauces and salsas was wonderful. The Res tacos were perfection. The Pirata was so good we had to order another. The Hibiscus Guava Aguq Fresca was delicious and exactly what we needed on a hot day. This taqueria is a must-visit for us in Monterrey-- and should be for you too. :)

Eating tacos almost anywhere in Mexico is like eating pizza in NYC, every taco is just super yummy…read more We tried the chicharon (crispy pork belly-tender, but crunchy), pastore (rotisserie pork-like a giant gyro, well-seasoned, juicy), gringa (cheese and beefsteak, scrumptious). Apparently this place is so famous that Adidas makes an "Orinoco" sneaker collaboration. All served with chili sauces of varying degrees of heat. Not sure what makes every taco we tried in Mexico (taco Chula CDMX !) extra delicious, but just like NYC pizza, never experienced a bad one here.

Como alguien que ama la auténtica cocina mexicana, me impresionó mucho la calidad de los platos. Cada plato estaba lleno de sabor y estaba muy bien presentado.

The food was great for the most part, but things fell apart at the very end…read more.. I asked the server for a dessert recommendation, he said the Pistachio cheesecake was very good. I was a solo diner that evening and had already eaten my fill with too much food. Well, the cheese cake was more than just a slice. It could feed 3-4 people! Not only that, the cheesecake was NOT fresh. It was definitely pre-made and frozen, because the texture was very icy and the only pistachio part was the crust. So not only did the server recommend some freezer burned mid level cheesecake, but also just wanted to inflate the bill for a bigger tip. While the food was delicious, it is extremely over priced as well. You can find the same food for much cheaper. This is one of the many pit falls for dining in San Pedro Garza Garcia district. I don't mind paying good money for good food, but the pricing on typical items is just egregious for what it is. I'd avoid and do not recommend this place.

While on business trip in Monterrey Mexico, enjoyed this local San Pedro favorite for late dinner…read more(9:30pm, but apparently this isn't "late" in Mexico). The cuisine here is more like that found in a high end NYC noveau-Mexican eatery, definitely not everyday fare. We kept our order simple with the braised octopus, beet carpaccio and chiles en nogada (poblano chiles in white sauce with walnuts and pomegranate seeds). The highlight of the evening was the totoaba, one of the most expensive fish in the world and indigenous to Mexico. Wikipedia says, "The dried totoaba swim bladders are so valuable that they are referred to as the "cocaine of the sea", with prices of up to $46,000 per kg on the Chinese black market." Restaurant wasn't full and the regional economy did not feel vibrant. First trip to Mexico since January 2020, glad that quality has survived the pandemic. Looking forward to coming back when conditions normalize.

English speaker here. I tried these tortas on a trip through Matehuala a few years back and they…read morewere phenomenal. I thought about them often since then. Was so glad to see they had a location in Monterrey. We went and the tortas were great. Big servings and good options for meat. There is something on the menu for anyone - from a cubano sandwich to traditional arrachera or Al pastor, you can get what you want here. They also sell all of the traditional sevillanas goodies, like Glorias. The service was super nice, but these sandwiches did take about 20-25 minutes to be ready, which I guess was kind of long in my opinion since there weren't many people there. That being said, they were super delicious. Didn't taste quite like the original locations in Matehuala, but close enough!

Came here for an after work dinner during a visit to Monterrey. The food, service and atmosphere…read morewere all incredible. This is a real upscale, classy joint in a posh area of San Pedro. The night we were there had live music which was really nice. It brands itself as a Mexican-Thai restaurant, but to me it's a straight up seafood joint. They have a really intriguing cocktail menu which we sampled throughly, and it was the Jamaica Habanero that came in first place. That drink was spicy, fruity and full of flavor. Can't think of a better cocktail I've had honestly. For appetizers, we tried the Tiradito De Hamachi which was delightful and had these tasty fried grasshoppers on it, and the Ceviche de pulpo a las brasas, which was buttery, delicious and had a bunch of chicharrones in it which I though was a really interesting and unique combo with the octopus. For entrees, we went with the Pescado Orsán and the Camarones En Vara-Asados. The winner there was the Pescado Orsán, which was a perfectly cooked catch-of-the-day with amazing texture resting on a this really nice cauliflower rice with little pieces of asparagus mixed in. I thought that dish was truly exception given the perfectly balanced mix of flavors and textures. The Camarones En Vara was tasty as well, but nothing in particular stood out with that one. If in the area, I highly recommend stopping in for a great experience. There is so much on their menu that looks good, I'm sure there are many more highlights.
