Monterrey Mexican Restaurant

There was mold on my food, it was disgusting.
I have complained to the board of health. The staff at the restaurant thought it was normal.

Went here tonight. Me and my friend were sat by like a 17top. We sat there and sat there and sat there. We ate almost all our salsa and chips. We were really thirsty. It had been like 15 minutes. So my friend went to the host and told her no one has came to our tbl. She walked away and was gone for awhile. Servers kept walkin by and starin at us. Super hard. I just stared back. Finally after about 8 more minutes when we were starin at the servers standin back by the kitchen a server came to our table. She saw us lookin back at them. She was apologizing. The food was ready in like 5minutes. The 3stars r only for thd server that finally came. They need to help each other out. If they see a tbl lookin around get their drink orders dang.

From the décor to the menu Monterrey awkwardly sits on the middle of the road between the authentic Restaurante Mexicano or «Taqueria» that caters to mainly Mexican clientele and the Americanized Mexican Restaurant or «Tex-​Mex» that caters to everyone else.
You might think that «middle of the road» is what your looking for, but Monterreys mix is just lack luster.
If you want to be satisfied and get the most out of your dollar — decide between Authentic and Americanized and skip Monterrey altogether.

Found the cool little the restaurant right around the corner from my house. Located inside the Publix shopping center but it’s pretty tasty Mexican food. Restaurant not big in size but very big in character. I had appetizer sampler which was pretty tasty the chicken wings weren’t in the very good for all the other entrees were awesome. Had the top shelf margarita Texas style also very well done will definitely go back.

We go here all the time! Always great food, fun waiters and waitresses, they make you feel like your right at home. Great food and delicious margaritas!

I usually order to pick up. Try the La Lancha (chicken and shrimp) dish. It’s always good. Their chips and salsa could be my favorite restaurant combo. Best eaten with an extra side of queso (white cheese).

Mexican flavored dog food. When El Real is the clearly better local option, you have to give up. It was never particularly good, but now it’s awful

I like Monterrey’s. It’s standard American-​style Mexican food, but it’s done pretty well. I almost always ordered take-​out, and my order was always correct and very tasty.
My favorite food here is the Chicken Soup. It’s fresh and delicious and has almost a whole avocado in it (the take-​out size)! I always ask for no rice in the soup and they never have a problem with it. Their chips are actually pretty tasty and always very warm.
I’ve had other things, and they’ve always been tasty. Overall, this is a nice little restaurant with reasonable prices and friendly employees.

My friends and I have been going to this location since this place literally had their Grand opening. We used to always go to Bingo’s Monday’s and come in on the weekend with a huge group of us averaging a party of 15 every time. We have stop going into the actual restaurant because of how rude the staff has been towards the whole group of us.
Last night was my final straw, We went into the restaurant and placed our usually order. I had order a water to drink but once I saw my roommate ice cold beer I wanted one. So I order one and was refused because I did not have my ID on me, which is understandable.
Then Manager took upon him self to watch my every move from that point on.
Once we had gotten our food, I started eating and I took a sip out my roommates beer out of pure habit and the manager charged at my table from across the room.
That is when the Manager got EXTREMELY rude towards everyone at the table and presided to tell me that I am not allowed to drink in the restaurant because I do not have my ID with me. I fully understand the LAW because I have been a bar owner. He then continue to talk down to me as if I was 16 and sneaking beer from my friends. I literally had to leave the table because of how rude and demeaning he was towards me.
The fact that the waiter did NOT even ID my roommate because of how often we are in the restaurant is what upset me the most. Once again I UNDERSTAND THE LAW but the way I was treated over a sip of beer at the age 26 in a restaurant I have been going to at least ONCE week for 5 years has me completely taken back.
If the situation had been handled with a different demeanor I would of apologized for my simple mistake but to be talked down to and belittled over a sip of beer is clearly a manager on a power trip. I will NOT be going back at all over this situation.
I would recommend getting your food to go or delivered from this Monterrey location because staff has proven time and time again they don’t care about customer.

Whenever we have a craving for Mexican food that is nearby this is where we go. Good & fast service. Servers are nice and friendly. Yummy margaritas.

First thing I ordered was guacamole which came out bland as ever with no flavor. For $ 6-​$ 7 I expected it to come out perfect without me having to add salt and lime to it. C’mon that’s like the basics of a Mexican restaurant. I also ordered quesadilla and it came out soggy and I barely ate it. I don’t recommend this place at all.

One of mine and my wife’s favorite date night locations. Great environment, friendly people, quick service, reasonable prices, amazing margaritas. LOVE IT!

Not a bad Mexican place. The place does smell a little funky. Seems like they load everything with cheese and more cheese. Service is hit or miss.

Might just be the worst I have ever experienced, the company was great… but food. so no I will not be back… many others even WH better!

We came in on a Sunday evening. They were not terribly busy. We were seated quickly. Everything went downhill after that. My husband and I split entrees because we’re trying to lose weight and honestly, just not eat so much. This causes a certain look in waitstaff’s eyes as they think their tip is going down. We try to compensate good waitstaff for our more moderated dining habits.
We ordered chicken nachos and fries. Not authentic Mexican, but sometimes you just want to smother carbs in cheese, right? I asked for dip with no peppers as I have a sensitive tummy. I can handle the peppers, but I’d prefer to not have to worry about a flaming asshole later. Get the nachos… Cheese with peppers. No big, I can deal with that. The food is kinda flavorless even with the peppers, you know what, no big deal. It’s just a-​okay.
The waitress had been pressuring us prior to ordering to rush, they clear the plates and we’re finishing up our tea. A gentleman grabs our chips and salsa to carry away. He takes the check, which had been placed at the edge of the table earlier, and says «there’s the check!»
At this point, my annoyance got tipped, I’m getting sub par food that isn’t what I asked for, I’m being rushed out, and the tea had a stale aftertaste. Come the hell on!
Not going back. They can suck it.

Excellent chicken soup. They honor request to replace rice with black beans. Add extra diced jalapeño. Great lunch for under $ 7.

Food is always a winner! Service has always been terrific. Easy access, plenty of parking in a shopping center. Lunch fare was only 7.00 each! My daughter and I stopped in while running errands yesterday. We have been here several times as this is my favorite Mexican food around. We ordered desert yesterday which we havent done for a while and O M G… their fried ice cream is the BEST! Its more like what I have always known Fried Ice Cream to be. a must have!!!

We have been eating at Monterrey for many many years. I’ve only had 1 (or maybe 2) experiences which were less than excellent.
98% of the time, the food is very fresh, tasty, hot and delicious!
Service is great, margaritas are perfect (not too weak, not too strong), and all 5 of us love it.
My fave things here: Steak burrito w/​vegetables, Texas margarita, and flan (but if you’re a flan «purist»… tell them you don’t want whipped cream or chocolate drizzle on your flan… yeah I know, it’s bizarre to put that on flan…)
4 Stars — SOLID Tex-​Mex food!

You will not find authentic Mexican food anywhere in the United States other than California. This is simply a FACT. I’ve been in Georgia for 6 years and this is the ONLY place that comes remotely close to what they offer back home in Cali, and even in Mexico. The chicken burrito with rice (roquette?) is phenomenal. I’ve yet to dine in and have drinks because it’s usually crowded so I grab it to go. I will have to make time for this one day soon. The service is slow but the food more than makes up for it.

I am from South Carolina. In my home town, there are Monterrey’s. At one point, they all had the same menu, and the amazing Quesadilla Roja — a truly divine quesadilla.
After a while, they branched out and changed their menus – only one Monterrey’s kept the quesadilla roja on their menu, and it became my beloved spot for Mexican cuisine.
Why the history lesson? I promise it bears merit. When I moved to Atlanta, and discovered that Monterrey’s were also present here, I went on my epic search for the quesadilla roja once more. Ladies and Gentlemen. It. Is. Here.
and it is still delicious. Try it with beef. Fall in love with it. The end.
PS. I also love their chile rellenos. Meat, cheese, peppers, and spices – what about that could be wrong?
