Monterrey Of Smyrna

"This place has a nice thematic decor and good vibe. The music is nice and the staff is very kind and helpful. The food is very delicious. You can visit with family and friends. Keep in mind that they’re very popular especially on Fridays so it gets busy. However, the food doesn’t take too long."

"Great place. Shout out to the young man who was our server. Sorry I didn't get your name, so I could have thrown it in the review. But you were awesome."

"Inside, the restaurant is divey but in a good way. There's a full bar with stools and plenty of tables and booths toward the back, along with outdoor patio seating. We were seated in a booth and chips and salsa landed on our table moments later. We also ordered guacamole on a whim, and our server asked, "Chunky?" with a tone that suggested that was the proper way to go. She was right. The bigs chunks of avocado in Monterrey's version of guacamole tastes fresher, with a generous spritz of citrus. It was hard not to eat our way through the large basket of chips before our entrees arrived, not only because our apps were tasty, but also because our food much arrived faster we expected. The husband ordered the Acapulco Cheesesteak from the lunch specials menu (which is - happy note - offered on Saturdays!). I wish I could tell you how it tasted but it disappeared down his gullet before I could ask for a bite, so I suppose that's saying something. I chose the flautas from the dinner menu, which was teeming with food. The flautas are enormous and generously filled with chicken or pulled pork. Though satisfyingly crunchy, I found they really needed the accompanying sour cream, veg, and guacamole sauce (and perhaps even a few splats of hot sauce) to really jazz up the flavor because they didn't have a ton on their own. Service was extremely fast at the start but a little slow toward the end. Our waitress was difficult to find when we were ready for our check, so we had to flag down another of her colleagues. But another way to look at it is that customers aren't rushed out at the end of their meal here. ...which is important because after a meal of this size, you're probably going to want to sit for a good few minutes to digest anyway."

"The food was good. The service was fast. This place got our food to us in about 15 minutes. Everyone liked what they ate. There is plenty of food to take home. Overall, this is a good restaurant."

"My husband and I have been here half a dozen times in the last two years and it’s always a great experience. Food is fresh and hot, service is good. We come back because we know what we’re getting. I like the Texas nachos (and the portion sizes are huge.)"
