The atmosphere is very "festive". Service was so good that three different people asked me if I was ready to order, so my guess would also be they share tips bc everyone is involved and it didn't seem like any one person had a designated table. Let's dive in about the food Chips: solid Mexican restaurant free chips 8/10 Salsa: Same as the chip. Solid but not extraordinary 8/10 I ordered the combination plate #26, which was one burrito, one enchilada, and one chile relleno . Burrito and enchilada 8/10. I mean, let's face it a burrito and enchilada are virtually the same except for the wrapper. That being said, the ground beef inside was seasoned nicely and had a good flavor. Red sauce on top had a nice flavor as well. Chile relleno 9/10. Lots of cheese (definitely not a complaint) and filling was good. (I will be honest, I actually thought there were refried beans inside, but when I referred to the menu, it says meat. Either way, it was good) Free little dessert at the end 10/10. I don't usually get dessert, but I would assume this was a mini version of sopapillas. Two fried tortilla pieces with cinnamon and sugar, whipped cream, and strawberry drizzle. A nice and delightful suprise as I was not expecting it. I would say the best word for Monte De Rey is "solid." While I didn't get anything off the lunch special menu, it was vast and priced well. At the time of writing this, my combo platter was 9.99, and soda (with free refill) was 2.19. I will definitely be back to continue trying other dishes.

Always a fun place to get a variety of Mexican-American food. Service is always kind and the treat at the end of the meal adds a little touch to each visit. Portions are larger than anticipated and I had tons of leftovers to take with me.

I had lunch here with a group of six. The food was excellent, plentiful, and fairly priced. And the menu offered plenty of ootions, more than a thpical mexican restaurant. The margaritas were great. Our server was coordial and friendly. The restaurant was very clean and has a positive atmosphere. The are table configurations to search large groups. There is plenty of parking.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. My friend and I ordered two of their quesabirria tacos, and they did not disappoint. The tortillas were perfectly crispy, the beef was tender and flavorful, and the consomme was rich and well-seasoned, adding the perfect depth to each bite. Everything tasted fresh, and the balance of cheese and meat was just right—savory, juicy, and satisfying. We also tried the horchata, which was excellent—smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet, with just the right touch of cinnamon. Definitely one of the better spots in the area.

This restaurant was decorated with beautiful and intricate furniture. Every table and chair was an art piece. The food was delicious. The servers were so so kind. The server even brought out a mini dessert just to be kind. Definitely recommend!
