This pace is great! It's west coast Mexican food, fast cheap and tasty! We were staying at the hotel next door and ate several meals here. $5 lunch special huevos rancheros was HUGE and tasty. The Chile's pablanos were my favorite. I've never had a relleno done this way, and it was a cool take. Chili rellenos are my go-to and these were done baked skillet style in cheese, more like a dip. They were great! Normally they are steamed, stuffed, egg battered and fried but if they aren't fresh they're terrible. They deconstructed them a bit to cut down on the laborious nature of them, and it's not bad at all. This is some of the most comforting casual west coast style Mexican food I've had in a while, and it was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend.

My favorite Mexican restaurant ever! I absolutely love the pollo Monterrey... The margaritas are also pretty awesome. Service is always great. Eating here has become a weekly thing for my family and I!! We never leave disappoint.

It has been a long time since I've had Mexican good this good. The taquitos were freshly fried, the burritos were smothered, the serving sizes ample, and the mango-strawberry margaritas were mixed to perfection. I would definitely recommend Monterrey, and can't wait to go back!

This is your typical Mexican restaurant, Fast paced, lots of customers in and out. Service was friendly.
Chips and Salsa, to me, make or break a restaurant. At least that's the case in my dining experiences. Here I did NOT enjoy theirs. The Salsa was chunky and bit on spicy side. The chips were too thick - not thin
and crispy. I asked for "mild" salsa and was given a bowl of heated Ranchero Sauce. Cheese dip (queso) was perfect!
I ordered steak nachos with no veggies. When brought to my table it was wrong so I had to wait a little longer for my food. However, once I tasted my dish I was very pleased! Steak was pleasantly seasoned and cheese was perfect.
I would come back again for this dish for certain! I just wish they would improve the chips and Salsa.
Footnote - to the "yelper" who did a review on takeout...you cannot judge a restaurant all on the takeout experience. (1) The food is NEVER as good as eating in person, freshly cooked. (2) Have you ever tried to package up hot food??? Please people when reviewing don't be so quick to always review "only" bad. People in the restaurant business work very hard for us patrons.
