The restaurant is definitely beautiful and has a fancy atmosphere. Most of the dishes were delicious, especially the carpaccio and the steak, which were outstanding. However, the salad was disappointing — it looked sloppy and didn’t taste good either. Overall, it’s a nice place, but honestly, it feels a bit overrated. Still worth a visit if you’re looking for a stylish spot.
Service and food were great but classless customers who swear loudly ruined the atmosphere. The sashimi de New York con yuzukosho was good but dressing was too strong on the greens. The ribeye a la sal was super rich. The sticky toffee pudding is amazing!
First time here and food was amazing! Appetizers, main course and dessert were all excellent. Even better than the food was the service. Brandon was our server and he was the best waiter I’ve had since I can remember. Can’t wait to come back !
I enjoyed my dining experience at this restaurant. The layout was elegant and service was attentive. Our waiter made great recommendations and let us know when we had ordered enough items to start with. I appreciated that because it was our first visit and we were unsure about the portion sizes. Our steak and grilled vegetables were both nicely presented. And I also liked the variety of sauces available at the table.
La Nacional: Unforgettable Dining Experience in Monterrey
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
If you’re searching for an extraordinary dining experience in Monterrey, look no further than La Nacional. This vibrant and highly recommended restaurant exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we stepped in, we were captivated by the lively ambiance and welcoming vibes that filled the air.
Even on a bustling Friday evening, La Nacional’s accommodating staff seated us promptly, adding to the positive impression. Their friendly and attentive service throughout the night made us feel right at home, ensuring an enjoyable and memorable evening.
Now, let’s dive into the highlight of our visit—the food. The appetizers we sampled left us in awe. The sashimi showcased the freshest flavors of the sea, while the chicharrón de rez (beef cracklings) provided a satisfying crunch and a burst of savory delight. However, the true showstopper was the aguachile steak strips, tantalizing our taste buds with a perfect balance of tanginess and spiciness.
But it was the 2” thick steak that stole the spotlight. Prepared to absolute perfection, each succulent bite transported us to carnivorous paradise. Its juiciness and unrivaled flavor made it clear that this was the best steak we had ever experienced—a true masterpiece.
La Nacional’s exceptional dining experience left a lasting impression on us. Their energetic ambiance, attentive service, and unforgettable flavors create a dining adventure that should not be missed. Whether you’re seeking a lively night out or a special culinary journey, La Nacional delivers in every aspect.
Don’t hesitate to book your table at La Nacional and embark on an extraordinary gastronomic voyage. Prepare to be amazed by their delectable steak and a wide range of mouthwatering dishes. Your taste buds and senses will thank you for this remarkable dining experience in Monterrey.
Maybe the best restaurant I have ever ate at
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Monterrey. It definitely exceeds my expectations each time! I recommend getting the Rib Eye but also the Cauliflower was amazing and the Tuétanos are great!

Nestled in the vibrant city of Monterrey, Mar del Zur is a culinary gem that beautifully marries Mexican and Thai flavors, creating an extraordinary dining experience known as MEX-THAI. Under the creative direction of Chef Eduardo Wichtendahi Palazuelos, this restaurant takes diners on a flavorful journey inspired by unforgettable tastes from Asia, Mexico, and Peru. Guests rave about the delightful variety of wines and homemade tortillas that accompany their meals.
We loved the food and the service was Michelin star tier. We brought a baby and they were incredibly accommodating. They made him a mashed potato sculpture and even brought out a big toy for him to play with.
We tried both ceviches, both were a hit (coconut and octopus). The Octopus tacos with bone marrow also very very good. And the short rib. Also, the corn tacos they make look like pieces of art. Highly recommend if you’re in town.

Mar del Zur really surprised me. The price quality ratio was honestly amazing. I had the catch of the day and the totoaba, both were incredibly fresh and full of flavor. Easily some of the best seafood I’ve had in a long time. The presentation was top-notch and everything came out at just the right time. The atmosphere is relaxed but still has that elegant vibe. What stood out the most was the service, spectacular from start to finish. Super attentive without being annoying. I’m definitely adding this spot to my list of favorites. Can’t wait to go back and try more.
I’ve been in Monterrey for work for a few weeks and this is the best restaurant I’ve tried so far.
The soup pictured was incredibly flavorful and perfectly spiced. Then the fish was cooked flawlessly and mixing it with the mango and rice was absolutely divine.
I had a truly pleasant experience dining here. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service attentive without being intrusive. What stood out the most, however, was the food—a bold and innovative fusion of Thai and Mexican flavors that worked surprisingly well.
Each dish brought a unique twist, combining the spice and freshness of Thai cuisine with the depth and heartiness of Mexican tradition. It’s not easy to balance two strong culinary identities, but this place pulls it off with creativity and finesse.
The desserts were exceptional—elevated, flavorful, and beautifully presented. A perfect way to end the meal.
Highly recommended for those who appreciate culinary experimentation done right.
Super tasty tacos, octopus ceviche, oysters and sushi! And the staff is very attentive to dietary requirements and eager for feedback. Great ambience too. Fantastic for business or private dinner. Happy to return.
One of the best restaurants in Monterey . The Orsan fish is a must
First time here. Ambiance and restaurant is beautiful. We at outside in the terrace and they had plenty of mister fans so it was comfortable.
They have a creative cocktail menu which we tried a few and they were good, I would try the Habanero Jamaica again.
There was several items from the menu they did not have but will look workfare to trying on our next visit.
For starters we had the spring rolls which were a delicious take on spring rolls with tasty greens and a playful tamarindo sauce. Also had the fresh sliced raw shrimp, octopus and Tuna plate. This was perfect and wonderful mix between the three seafood pics and the portion was bountiful.
For main entrees we had the Pad Thai which was a good portion and a slightly sweet version but very well done. We have both salmon curry options and they did not disappoint. One had a grilled salmon on a plan with side of curry. This was perfectly cooked, had a wonderful crust and the curry complimented. The other curry dish had the salmon in the curry with veggies, spot on. Could eat these often.
Deserts we had a sherbet option which was very good and their signature desert which has coconut ice cream inside but is covered with an incredible thinly sliced crunchy deliciousness. I will not ruin it for you as you have to try yourself. Can’t believe I had never had something like this and can see lots of possibilities for the use of this special, basic ingredient prepared in such a simple but unique way that it blew all our minds.
Service was subpar unfortunately. The waiter was not very attentive, drink orders took a long time and had to remind the waiter. He was not bad just could use a lot of improvement with serving and being attentive.
Overall we absolutely recommend Mar del Zur and would look forward to returning.
Nice restaurant, Mexican-Thai fusion cuisine. Good wine list. Not all is about seafood they do also have an excellent grill. The short rib is amazing. The tuna tamal is obliged. For dessert, the coconut ice cream which is also the house specialty. The price is balance for the quality and service you got.

Unfortunately I can not say good things about this place , I went to visit Monterrey after 30 years , my family invited me to eat Cabrito, was on September 22nd around 5pm, we arrived No host then WE DID SEAT OURSELVES, we had a server NON FRIENDLY AT ALL, we ordered to start 2 orders of cabrito, right after that they brought it so fast, the cabrito was cold , honestly nothing was good ( all cold) . I JUST DECIDED TO LEAVE THAT PLACE.. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
great taste lamb/goat. I love goat，so i love this place.
Good food, decent selection and fast, friendly service. You can even get your car washed for a small cost while you dine!
We just want to highlight the excellent service we received from the hands of Mr FERNANDO. His kindness made us feel very welcome. Food is good,too.
The best potato I’ve ever had. (unexpected.) the food is spectacular, the servers are lovely, it was well worth going, more expensive than a lot of places locally but worth it.
Everyone said you have to try the young goat and carne asada in Monterrey, and this was a great place to have both! I got the combo of goat leg and carne. The course comes with all the fixings, fresh tortillas, salsas, arepas, potato, beans, chips, tostadas, and a salad bar. The goat was tender and wasn't gamey at all, reminded me of carnitas.
It is little expensive but delcious food. We ordered a meat and salad bar for 2 people and it is enought . I dwas drinking limonada but it was so spicy so i didnt like it. Generally, it is nice restaurant.

Mexican restaurant
El Rey del Cabrito is a renowned restaurant in Monterrey, known for its expertly cooked cabrito, a flavorful and tender meat from a young goat roasted over an open flame. The restaurant has been serving this iconic dish for decades and is famous throughout Mexico for its expertise in preparing the national staple. In addition to cabrito, El Rey del Cabrito also offers other regional specialties such as carne asada, a grilled beef dish enjoyed at social gatherings.
Iconic restaurant in Monterrey. 3 locations in town, this is the location located just south of Barrio Antiguo and the MacroPlaza.
The atmosphere is very unique. Mosaic tiles and glass chandeliers grace the interior along with taxidermy animals like lions, deer, and bison.
Service is great. Everyone is very attentive and informative to the guests needs. Servers came by with suggestions and asked if the party needed more refreshments.They were able to explain all the different cuts in Cabrito (young goat). They also have other meats like sirloin, ribeye, fajita. They have a great appetizer menu with many options. The menu prides itself on having Northern Mexico/Monterrey cuisines.
The food has great overall. Chips and Salsa were given as soon as we sat. Salsas were spicy and flavorful. 5/5. The totopos or chips, were corn tortillas baked over charcoal. The ones we were given were passed itself freshness unfortunately. 1/5. We were given Frijoles Venenos, Beans with Pork Mole. 3/5. Purchased frijoles charros, 4/5. We purchased a mixed platter of Arrachera (steak fajita) and cabrito, along with grilled onions, tortillas and choice of potatoes or steamed veggies. This was our party's first time eating Cabrito. 4/5. Depending on the cut you receive, flavors vary. Biggest concern going in was if Cabrito was going to have a "gamey" taste but it doesn't. Texture reminded me of chicken with a hint of barbacoa. The Arrachera though. 20/5! The best steak fajitas I've ever ate. So flavorful. Easy to eat. Cooked to perfection.
For dessert they brought out a dessert platter with 8 different desserts. We went for the cornbread cake.10/5! Delicious. Came out warm with pecans and cajeta drizzled. Best cornbread cake I've ever eaten. Definitely will come back for the Arrachera and desserts.
Total cost with Tip for 3 people, including 2 cokes and 5 Micheladas was $110. Amazing for the experience and food we ate.

This review is long overdue! I've been dreaming of this place for over a decade. El Rey del Cabrito in Monterrey is simply legendary. It's more than a restaurant; it's a pilgrimage for anyone who loves good food. I finally made it back and it was even better than I remembered. The cabrito was perfection—tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The atmosphere is vibrant and feels like a party. My only regret? Not being able to eat more. Can't wait to be back in another 10 years... or maybe I'll make it sooner this time! A must-visit.
A dining experience at El Rey de Cabrito is not just a meal; it’s a non-negotiable part of any trip to Monterrey. This is a culinary institution that you simply must visit for a taste of authentic Nuevo León tradition.
While it is a little expensive, the quality and experience make it completely worth it. The famous cabrito (slow-roasted kid goat) is smoky, tender, and the reason for the name, but for me, the side dishes are the true hidden gem.
The frijoles con veneno (beans with "poison") alone are worth the trip. These are not just refried beans—they are rich, creamy, and topped with a glorious, reduced red chile and pork sauce. They are addictively flavorful and the perfect complement to the savory cabrito. Come here for the main event, but stay for the legendary sides.
The food was amazing but our waiter wasn’t that great! Would have to get his attention every time . Also, he had an attitude:(
Everything was delicious, but it was a bit more expansive than I wanted and more food than I could eat by myself. Still glad I got to try goat from one of the best places in Monterry.
One of the Greatest Place in Monterrey 🇲🇽
The atmosphere is higher than expected. We like specifically the food and service. Love it !
Is not what it used to be, living now on their fame - will try other places now. Service now is terrible, plenty of servers, uniquely unorganized. Food taste good, but cabrito portions have more bone than meat, feels like a scam. Atmosphere is very nice, too bad on the service and food experience.
The reputation is talking for itself here, an absolute experience if you're in Monterrey. I was not sure to what type of cabrito I should eat and the service was very helpful to bring a mix dish for me to try. Awesome quality and taste!

Fonda El Limoncito is a cozy and inviting restaurant located in the Barrio Antiguo area of Monterrey, Mexico. The interior exudes a nostalgic charm, reminiscent of an old-fashioned home from the early days of Monterrey's establishment. The original stone walls and ample seating create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

We had a great experience at this place.
If you are in Monterrey you should visit this place for authentic Mexican 🇲🇽 food. Juan Pablo and his team welcomed us for a great breakfast and cooking 👨🍳👩🍳 experience including a visit of the local market 🌽.
This Salsa Verde is just delicious and traditionally made with tomatillos 💚 ( green 🍅 ) which reminded us of a mix of tomato and 🍋!

Food and service was excellent. Had the pleasure of talking to the owner. Will definitely come back next time I'm visiting Monterrey.
If there were more stars I would add more but it only allows 5 stars.
One of the most authentic places to have had the pleasure to visit. Some places leave you wanting more and that's what this place is.
The exceptional service, the beautiful music and the scrumptious food is worth more than what's it listed for.
100% visiting again.
Beautiful place with plenty of seating. The food had a small amount to choose from but it was just enough. The waitress took our order quick and the food came out fast. When we went they were reciting poetry and playing acoustic guitar which was beautiful.
We had to wait super long for our food to arrive. And portions were too small for that price, plus the the flavor wasn't up to par. The girls working there were nice and the place was quaint that's all I can say..
Enchanting Atmosphere and Exceptional Food: A Memorable Visit to La Dona-El Limoncito
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Fonda-El Limoncito and I must say, it was an experience that surpassed all expectations. As soon as I stepped into the restaurant, I was enveloped by a moody and nostalgic ambiance that transported me to another era. The dim lighting, rustic decor, and carefully selected music created a truly enchanting atmosphere.
One aspect that truly enhanced my dining experience was the live music. It added a delicate touch to the overall ambiance, filling the air with beautiful melodies that perfectly complemented the setting. The combination of the cozy environment and the captivating sounds made the experience truly magical.
Now, let’s talk about the food. Exceptional would be an understatement! The menu at Fonda-El Limoncito offers a wide variety of dishes that cater to every palate. I had the pleasure of trying their brunch options, and I was blown away. The flavors were exquisite, and each dish was prepared with utmost care and attention to detail. Whether you’re a fan of savory or sweet delights, you’ll find something to satisfy your cravings.
What impressed me the most was the versatility of Fonda-El Limoncito. This charming spot is perfect for a solo date, a romantic outing, or an intimate gathering with friends. The ambiance sets the stage for a cozy and memorable experience, regardless of the occasion.
However, I do have one note for those planning to visit during scorching summer temperatures. As there is no AC and the heat can intensify due to the tin roof and concrete walls, it’s advisable to arrive early in the morning to beat the heat and fully enjoy your visit.
In conclusion, Fonda-El Limoncito is a hidden gem that deserves all the recognition it can get. From the nostalgic ambiance to the exceptional food, every aspect of this place leaves a lasting impression. So, don’t miss the opportunity to embark on a culinary journey and create unforgettable memories at Fonda-El Limoncito!
We came to this quaint and charming restaurant for lunch. It is situated in the Barrio Antiguo area, yet a few blocks away from the typical tourist strip. I felt like I had briefly traveled back in time to my great grandmother's home. The interior is exactly what you would find in a typical home dated during the times when Monterrey was first established. This establishment had plenty of seating. The walls are the original walls, built using those large and unevenly shaped stones and thick mortar layers. I found it intriguing to sit and imagine that being someone's home at one time. The artwork made by modern artists gave it a natural blend between the yesteryears and today. The food was very good too. The portion size and taste was perfect. I had a carajillo. The caguama was surprisingly complementary with the dish my husband ordered.
We had an awesome brunch there. This is a great place for the food and the ambiance. Great staff, eager to share the history of this beautiful place and to explain the tasty food. Owner Juan-Pablo is so kind, you will not forget him as well as the fresh and well cooked meat at very affordable prices!

Visited for the breakfast buffet and assumed it was like in the photos here, however the staff explained that due to Covid they no longer have a self serve buffet, so you actually have to order with your server and its prepared in the kitchen. However, the food took very long to come out over 35 minutes for breakfast items and not just our table but others around us as well. So we literally drank a few cups of coffee as we waited for eggs, chilaquiles and Barbacoa.
Since you can no longer see the items on the buffet, It’s kind of hard to order and know what looks appetizing. We did try a few different things and everything was tasty despite the initial wait time. The Barbacoa was delicious and flavorful, prepared perfectly. Menudo was a little greasy but had a great flavor.
The table staff was friendly and very attentive ensuring we had coffee and juice refills.
-1 star for the wait time. Our overall breakfast time took nearly 2 hours. A bit longer than we anticipated.
It was a good value for the breakfast buffet price. I would visit again for its excellent staff and barbacoa.
We had a great lunch! The ribeye was fantastic. All the meats come with a feee salad bar. It was a good portion of food. The only thing we weren’t the biggest fans of was the pay de plátano. I think it was way too much caramel, but other than that, everything was great.
we also had excellent service with Valentin and the manager Santiago was great and very attentive! We would definitely come back.
Delicious food,great service Miguel was very attentive and courteous.
Possibly the best goat I’ve ever had. This is a must stop when visiting the city. Service is absolutely incredible!!
Fantastic dining experience! The service was truly outstanding. Our server, Flavio, was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and made sure all our needs were met throughout the meal. The food was delicious, and every steak at our table was cooked perfectly, just as we ordered.
The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is because my mother felt her ribs had too much fat and not enough meat. Flavio noticed right away that she hadn’t touched her plate and promptly informed the manager, Santiago. Both of them came to the table, sincerely apologized, and quickly made things right.
Overall, it was a wonderful visit and I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to others!
Delicious food. Great service and atmosphere. 💕😋

Located in the heart of Monterrey's Parque Fundidora, El Lingote is a unique restaurant that skillfully blends international cuisine with flavors from northeastern Mexico. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, including shrimp aguachile, rustic pizzas, and octopus chicharron tostadas. With its romantic ambiance and candlelit dinners, this restaurant provides an ideal setting for love and romance.
El Lingote, nestled in the heart of Parque Fundidora, offers an unforgettable dining experience with an unbeatable view of the iconic Cerro de la Silla. The ambiance, surrounded by the park’s industrial charm and nature, sets the stage for a perfect meal.
To access the restaurant, we arrived at the main entrance of Parque Fundidora, where golf carts are usually available to provide a convenient ride to the elevator bank leading up to the restaurant. This added a fun and unique start to our visit— don’t forget to tip your driver, they would appreciate it.
Let’s talk about the Food -
Their drink menu stands out, particularly the margarita of mixed berries—a refreshing, flavorful concoction that balances sweet and tangy notes flawlessly. For appetizers, we indulged in their panela cheese dish, which is elevated by the addition of Ramos pork rinds. Paired with a zesty green salsa and served with both homemade flour and corn tortillas, it’s a savory treat that reflects the region’s authentic flavors.
For the entrée, we opted for the pear salad with Arrachera beef, which exceeded expectations. The combination of grilled pear, mixed greens, figs, candied pecans, crispy bacon, and Parmesan cheese created a delightful blend of textures and tastes, each bite feeling indulgent yet light.
Overall, El Lingote offers not only exceptional dishes but also an amazing view, making it a top choice for both locals and visitors looking for a memorable dining experience in Monterrey.

Disappointing Service Ruined the Experience
I had high hopes for El Lingote, but unfortunately, the service was incredibly slow and unorganized, which completely overshadowed the experience.
Despite the restaurant not being too busy, we waited an unreasonably long time just to place our order, and even longer for the food to arrive. When it finally did, some items were missing, and getting the attention of the staff was nearly impossible. The servers seemed disinterested and overwhelmed, which made the whole experience frustrating.
The food itself was decent, but not worth the long wait or the lack of attention from the staff. It’s a shame because the atmosphere is nice, but bad service can ruin even the best meal. Sadly, I wouldn’t rush back unless they seriously improve their efficiency and customer service. Not recommended if you're in a hurry or expecting good service.
I loved this place. Great food and service. Best place to close a busy day with some drinks and good dinner.
Fancy and nice restaurant. Food was pretty good. We enjoyed our time together in the restaurant.
Lovely place in the Fundidora area of MTY. The food is very good but not the best in town. However it is a cool place to visit. The old foundry is really cool.
EL Mejoras!! Ambiance, views, service, food, and drinks were all splendid. I had the steak, a cabrito taco, and a mango margarita (I think). My date had the salmon. Everything was top quality and cooked to perfection. Top 5 steak and the cabrito taco was amazing. Can’t wait to return. What an amazing culinary experience!
The food was definitely 5 stars, but the service wasn’t very attentive. Also, there is horrible, loud music from the 80s playing, which really took away from the atmosphere. We especially liked the salad with the figs and pears and the cream brûlée dessert (with a spoon made of chocolate!). They were able to accommodate my allergies to gluten and dairy.
I have to say that I am sad that the service here was terrible. Even with 2 waiters our food was slow coming out. It was 14 of us today and we all got out food at different times. The food was not as hot as it should be. I will not come back to this place to eat I do not RECOMMEND it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great fun hangout! Food was great and served in large portions! We loved reading the walls! Funny quotes that make great talking points. They have balcony for people watching. Clean restrooms. This particular restaurant is the one around the corner and up the stairs.

We got there for diner and it was 11 of us. Despite the fact we did not have a reservation the waitress quickly put together a large table to accommodate us. The atmosphere is very casual with good vibes. The phrases on the walls make you laugh and relax. The large variety of dishes makes it very enjoyable for anyone. The prices are reasonable. We had some shrimp tacos, tuna tostadas and beef tacos. Delicious.
How about you guys fix your hours?? Apple Maps shows noon. Google maps shows 1230. You have people waiting outside not just our group. You the door at 12:40 PM. We walk in to try to get a table only to be told that they don’t have service till 1 PM. Fix your hours to when you open the door and you have service then. Dumb. Just lost (4) guests who wanted to spend $$$
Came here because it was recommended by a local. They have an English menu if you ask for it. No one spoke English so I had to speak with the little Spanish I know.
Service overall was good. The waiter checked on me multiple times.
FOOD AND DRINK:
Agua de jamaica (4/5): I like that the drink wasn't too sweet. It doesn't taste authentic as I've made it with fresh hibiscus leaves before.
Al pastor and carnita taco (3/5): Very small in size. I liked the al pastor better. Better flavor than the carnita taco.
Fish ceviche with mango (5/5): Enjoyed this dish the most. It was fresh and tasty. Eaten by itself or with tostadas. It's enough for one person.
The red sauce is more spicy. The green sauce is also spicy.
If I had to return back, it would only be for the ceviche.
Las majores enchiladas de mi vida! We went to the middle floor, where they served Mexican food and had the best enchiladas of my life. The food is reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is excellent. I'm sure it would have been lively had we gone on the weekend. When we went, it was quiet and we had the space mostly to ourselves. The platillos are huge (see my photo of the enchiladas). The margarita was awesome , though it tasted like it had 0 drops of alcohol, which was fine for me. It still tasted wonderful.
The wait staff was excellent, polite, and knowledgeable on their food. The restrooms were clean. They only have 2 bathrooms, single use. One for women and one for men. I imagine this can create quite a wait.
My friend had to go to the bathroom an hour or so after we had left but were still in the area, and they let her come back and use it there. Great service. Will definitely go back when I'm back in town!
Good food with great service. I had the torta carnitas and you can see how big it is. My wife had the ceviche and she liked it. Price is decent as well.
Loved their Chilaquiles! Also the atmosphere and vibe of this place. Service was just ok, nothing special about it. It wasn't bad, but we had to keep reminding our server about stuff we ordered and took too long to get to our table because he forgot. The restaurant wasn't even busy at the time since we were his only table.
I can only say Congratulations !
Everything was just great, i tryied 4 among "tostadas" and "tacos" and everyone was just amazong.
Furthermore the girls either in the hall and in the Kitchen (it's on view!!!), were just nice, kind and professional!
I wish i will be back...

Grand Cru is a renowned wine restaurant in Monterrey, highly praised by Guillermo Gonzalez Beristain and Denise Theurel. It's known for its exquisite French-inspired menu and refined flavors, offering dishes like beet salad with foie gras, chicharron risotto, and filet Wellington. The restaurant's classic and sophisticated atmosphere makes it perfect for romantic dates or gatherings with friends. Grand Cru also offers an exceptional Sunday brunch experience.
Went for a celebratory belated birthday supper.
Wait staff super attentive, and knowledgeable about food.
Serving is not slow, but the dishes are made on the spot, so you do have to wait; wait staff tells you this, and lets you know which dishes should take more time to prepare and be ready.
You get a free bread, and an assortment of spreads before the meal.
Prices as expected, but they are worth it.

Decent French wine bistro/restaurant with a cute ambiance.
Complimentary bread - served warm with soft creamy butter and olive butter.
Black truffle risotto - was hoping for fresh black truffle shavings on the risotto. The rice is cooked al dente and the texture creamy and rich.
Chocolate tart - underwhelming for me. The crust did not taste buttery, and the sorbet didn’t add value to the dish. Sadly the best part of this dessert was the cherry.
I can see this being a nice place for a date or intimate gathering. Service is swift and attentive.
I always struggled to find good options for dining in Monterrey. Sometimes too expensive (and not great) and other times just bad (bad!) food. We chose the 3 meal course with wine pairing, the food is consistent and well prepared and the waiter was pretty knowledgeable about wine and really attentive. Our favorite course was the dessert though, pumpkin with a cream and dehydrated lemon with an Italian vermut for pairing. The wine menu is amazing.
I invited my boyfriend to celebrate his birthday and we really enjoyed the food, the service and the coziness. Preferably make a reservation in advance.
If you have a chance to go on Monday they have a live jazz band.
Excellent French restaurant! Their food was absolutely delicious, we had this San Pedro Week menu, and I got to say that everything was incredible well executed! Flavors pop in your mouth!
Delicious food and very attentive service.
The food and service here is usually excellent. However, on our last visit they failed to keep our reservation. Tip. Call to confirm even if you made a reservation with one of their online reservation services.
This is a great restaurant if you want something a bit special. You can tell they have a professional chef. The waiters were very attentive and the food perfectly cooked.

Mexican restaurant
Madre Oaxaca Restaurant is a vibrant and casual Mexican eatery that pays homage to the distinctive regional cuisine of southern Mexico. The restaurant offers an extensive menu of traditional Oaxacan dishes, complemented by a selection of commercial and craft beers, wine, and a full bar. The colorful ambiance, adorned with Mexican crafts in each room of the former private home, adds to the dining experience.
Very lovely ambiance with friendly sercice. No rush, a large menu with great variety, generous portions, and very delicious! We loved the pork and black molè, and mezcal crema with peanut chocolate cake for dessert.
Karissa C — Google review
The food is average, not even close to what we had in Oaxaca. Both chicken and pork are over cooked and dry. Very little service and didn’t provide napkin. Horchata tastes like it’s made with powder.
A most unexpected most wonderful dining experience. Met my oldest son there for dinner, and we had a great meal. Food and service along with atmosphere all very good. Highly recommend. Their cuisine is traditional southern Mexican. BTW - next door under same roof is their Italian restaurant, and the food there looks great too.
It's a cute authentic restaurant with variety of foods. The main dish was amazing with awesome quality! The soups are also great. Definitely worth a try to taste Oaxacan meals.
Amazing mole and tostada dishes and very cool atmosphere. There was very little English spoken, but one person who could helped us out. So cool place. Loved the food. Sure I'll be back!
Delicious with a very cute atmosphere.
We were the only people at the restaurant on a late Thursday night.
The Chamorro Sin Madre (315 ps) was the highlight dish that was tender and succulent in a way that other similar pork osso bucco dishes have not been.
The mole (305 ps) was good but the chicken on it could have been a throw away since the chicken breast was so dry.
I did love the rice that was served with it. It was like chicken noodle soup but condensed into rice seasoning.
If you get the tlayuda (285 ps), eat it first before the other dishes come in since the crust will get chewy and difficult to eat if you let it sit around.
The sauces here are delicious! Even the chips served at the beginning came with a mole that was absolutely delicious!
Only dish worthy is the black bean soup
Everything ese is bland and comes cold. What really is bad was service
The waiter brings coffee
Does not even ask if we drink it black. Just assumes
Also when I mention coffee is Luke warm he says “you should have said something “
Cold tortillas
Food is not authentic. Microwave at best
The deco of place is nice, unfortunately the service and cold food made our worse experience in Monterrey in food.
Wish I had gotten waiters name which made a maybe ok experience,bad.
Really wanted to like this place...but sadly the mole was very mediocre nothing to write home about...the sampler platter is just not good...super super expensive for such bad food... service was lame...must be better places in Monterrey!

Great place to visit if you’re on vacations or to take people to experience the Mexican culture and regional food. The food is not great quality as usual with buffets, but you get to taste different dishes and desserts. The details in the decor are wonderful and a joy to discover every corner while eating.
Honestly. I love frijoles so much and i was so disappointed they were tasteless. I’m a frijolero and yeah… was disappointed but everything else was awesome!!! There was a guy singing… he brought me good memories of my father singing those old style songs…. Very nice waiters. Super attentive and as a matter of fact. I would come back for the waiters. They were very on top of their service -
The atmosphere of this restaurant is very unique and cool! The outdoor decor with ancient vehicles was picture worthy. I ordered the carne asada tacos, which were very tasty; as well as the mixto fajitas. Portions are generous and I couldn’t finish my meal and had to take the leftovers back home! The dishes are decently priced . I recommend this restaurant.
Such an interesting place. The details inside and outside the restaurant made me feel like I hopped in a time machine. We got the Mixta doble and oh man, the salsas were amazing! I practically drank them. The chicharrones were a bit of a letdown since they came out cold, but the asado puerco totally made up for it (i guess there was a beef option too).
Welcome to a typical Mexican restaurant.
You can taste several and local food and drinks.
Prices are fair and quality is very good.
If you are in Monterrey, take your time to know this place.
There is a little museum where you will find cars, bottles, cans, handcrafted products...
Parking are is well dimensioned.
Take a lot of pictures and share with yours friends....
Muy delicioso! Very delicious dishes and the service was great. Parking was a bit confusing but there are three restaurants in that center. It's also paid parking.
This place is in a small gated plaza called La Mexicana. It is beautiful in there with tons of parking and little pop up shops. The restaurant itself is gorgeous! It has so much decorations to look at, on weekends they have a beautiful breakfast buffet and then in the afternoon they start their regular menu. When we got their we did have to wait a bit but it did not take long, we got seated and they took our drink orders quick. They brought us delicious salsa and tostadas as a botana. The entrees did not take long to come out but oh my! The food was delicious and it had a while bunch of flavors. It was exquisite and very enjoyable. I am definitely will be coming back!

Sunday brunch in Monterrey, this restaurant was packed to the rafters. We didn't have a reservation, but the 45 minute wait went smoothly as we spoke with many friendly locals waiting for their tables after attending church services. We took photos with grandmas and grandchildren and talked about the local soccer team's upcoming game. The service here was good but definitely not up to the same quality standards at Contramar CDMX or Campomar Arboleda. The oysters were small, dessicated and flavorless. The grilled shrimp had a mushy texture and were doused in a "mayonnaisey" sauce to mask their past prime freshness. We also ordered the grilled filet of robalo (no photo - too sad😢) that was thin and dried out. The servers don't speak much English, but we're very professional and polite. Maybe just an off day here as I've visited other "Los Arcos" locations with fresh, very well prepared dishes. Unfortunately for our first visit here, the food is not recommended, but the people definitely are.
The food and atmosphere were perfect.
The ceviche was so light and refreshing,such a delicious seafood dish.
I wish it were easier to find in Japan❤️🔥
Amazing food, very fresh, their drinks are incredible and service is very nice
My Spanish is very bad, but our server was very patient with me and even helped make some recommendations. The portion sizes are very large. One order can easily feed 3-4 people.
One of the best places I've ever had seafood in
Can't complain about anything
Overall they offer good quality fish and food. The service is very good and very quick.
We ordered a variety of dishes as we went in a group.
Pulpa a brassa was cooked just right. The seasoning was a bit strong.
Aguachiles were very pleasant.
The camarones a Mazatlan.... Cooked well, a bit salty lacked a bit flavour. Wasn't a huge fan of the sauce they provided.
The churros were amazing!
Drink were a bit expensive
The prices were different and higher than from what was on the website, I can honestly say I understand because inflation hits everywhere. I just recommend to change the prices online
DELICIOUS seafood restaurant! The experience was good beginning to end. They have valet parking. They can accommodate parties of any size and have a very family friendly atmosphere. The menu has a large variety of seafood, kids menu and desserts. Prices are fair, and you really get great service. Would 100% recommend and will definitely go back.
Exceeded my wife & my expectations! She ordered the Octopus & i ordered the baked whole fish. The Octopus was tender & juicy (which is hard to find) & my fish was very tasty with the perfect amount of spices 👌. Every one of the staff we're very friendly & accommodating. I will definitely be going here again on our next trip to Monterrey.
Thankyou Los Arcos 🤜🐟🤛🍻🙏🤙💯

Loved the ambience, service and the food here. It was super delicious with the salsa bar. We ordered the beet sandwich, guacamole and chilli relleno and juice. Great place for vegetarian food.

Wow! I’m not vegan but did not miss meat here. Love their Tacos de Portobello al Pastor or Tacos de Barbacoa de Romeritos. The tostadas de betabel are great too. Don’t miss their hot sauces with your tacos...will repeat on my next trip. Love the setting inside an auto repair shop (for Teslas!)
My first time in a Vegan Restaurant... just had urge to eat vegetables. What a surprize, the food is as tasty and better as many other traditional taco places! Definately coming back for more!
Even ran into Doc from Back to the Future ;) He loves the food here he says, travels nack and forth through time to dine...
Authentic vegan place. Very nice decor and ambience. The name taller comes from its location inside a mechanic place. I loved the tacos and its tortilla.
Excellent service and delicious food!!
The supervisor/manager was super warm and welcoming to us and our baby. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy. The food is high quality and great flavors. The best vegan chocolate cake we've ever had! Thank you!
Yes it is inside an auto mechanic ! Great vegan spot! Trendy and delicious! With a small store
Really good vegan food
$100 - 150 p/p
Lunch must be great, buy we arrived at breakfast. There was a very limited selection of tacos, all of them spicy, they we're out of several items (desserts, blue corn tortillas), coffee wasn't good.

Ramen restaurant
UMAMI is a Japanese restaurant that offers an impeccable service with quick and effective staff. The dishes are well-presented with good portion sizes, making it ideal for sharing. However, some find the prices to be on the expensive side. The buns are flavorful but pricey, while the ramen is considered one of the best in town with various broth options and toppings. Despite this, some patrons find discomfort in the backless chairs and feel that the background music doesn't match the ambiance.
Without a doubt one of the best Japanese food experiences i’ve had, and believe me i’ve had quite a few.
The service is just impeccable, they are always looking to help you, they are quick, effective and very kind.
The dishes are very well presented, and have a very good portion (ordering to the center is very recommended)
But the price can’t be ignored, we were 4 people, and the check was 550 MXN each with the tip included (15%). And for what it was, it’s really expensive.
But everything else is perfect, the bathrooms are in mint condition, parking is not really a problem at those hours (9-10 PM) and the place is well established and well taken care of.
Alex L — Google review
I will describe UMAMI Monterrey as follows.. Great Japanese food if you don't mind the place little "details" and I'm going to explain why.
First of all we started ordering some entries, a 6 pieces Gyozas soo delicious 😋😋 (be careful as are real hot) then, a Tori Karaage that is basically japanese style fried chicken and soaked on different sauces that makes completely the difference and we're just starting. Worth to mention that with two entries was good enough for the 3 of us, I mean at the end is just the entry.
Then Diana ordered if my mind isn't playing tricks, the Roka Poke and everything was crispy, very and richfully crispy. Then I asked for an UMAMI buns which seems that they mixed up a bit as it should be duck but they sent me a pork one. Anyways I love pork and loved the bread flavor.
Then Mía ordered a Miso 🍜 that was very good (my personal opinion on this I liked a ramen ordered at another UMAMI restaurant in Querétaro, look for my reviews and you'll find it) This one was great, despite that Diana and Mia didn't liked very the brisket, I did and never been a fan of that. One sad thing to say is that they ran out of Naruto at that time .. duh
And we ordered lemonade that was ok, Te de Matcha that was like meh and an Akira that was super 👍.
So far so good, tasty and delicious. Will definitely return to UMAMI Monterrey as there's still a variety of dishes to try on the menu.
And last but not least. The details I mentioned starting this review. Based on what I can saw, the restaurant is a location with probably 20 years and the air conditioning system isn't the best. There's this sense of humidity + cooking oil when entering the restaurant as the kitchen is right there, you can see what's cooking directly but the downside is that there's no good extraction of the kitchen odors. And lastly, the sofa couches are teared and most important, very dirty.
As always, this has been my personal impression of the place and food. If you got interested, don't hesitate and go check UMAMI Monterrey. 👏👏
It’s my third time here.
The price is a little bit high and have to wait for a while of serving. But the food is really good and also the environment and service.
Matcha ice cream was a little too sweet but it is expected. The ramen is very good and the serving are great. Definitely will recommend.
Edames are a must!!! Poke bowl excellent, ramen is perfect to share with two, and the dessert was just incredible.
Food was incredible and Juan gave an excellent service. A pretty great discovering
The buns have a very good flavor. Though, they are a bit expensive. The ramen competes for the best in town. Good options on broth and good variety of toppings. The only thing I don't love about the place are the backless chairs. I know I don't have the best posture while sitting, but this makes it ten times harder. The music they play on the background doesn't match the place ambience. Overall, food is good, that's why the 4 stars.
Ramen was good. Gyoza need more of vinegar or ponzu sauce. Bun filling was good but buns themselves were dry

The menu features Chicago bar food favorites like roast beef sandwiches, fried cheese curds, and Chicago-style pizza dip.

I love goose island's beer and this was an awesome find while traveling in Mexico for work. They had Sophie on tap! I can't find that in the states, so I was like a kid in a candy store. Nice clean place and great beer.
The pub has an amazing evironment. They have pretty much all varities of Goose Island beer as well as some others from Mexico. The food is also very good and very well presented.
Nice place to have a drink, especially if you like the brand. They also have a bunch of cocktails to choose from and the service is top notch!
Excellent food, its a pub with restaurant quality kitchen, great beer, they have most of their beer on tap, only the barrel aged are bottled (bourbon stout is on tap)
I really like being here, very comfy to go drink with friends, not to crowded and the music is perfect, not loud... The food is very good but pricey for the tiny amount, still worth it
Great pub. It's the closest thing you'll get in the city, proper pub vibes. Tap beer is mostly their own, kudos for that.

The service was great, the place is beautiful & light. The
Mole was just okay. The sauce was the only thing on the plate with any flavour at all, the chicken inside tasted like nothing. I wanted to try dessert, but the horchata cafe was too sweet & syrupy, so we had to pass. My husband got the chicken salad & said it was good but not memorable. Our bill was $635 pesos (less than $30USD) tips are only 10%.
The chairs are very uncomfortable.
If you are already in Monterrey, you should definitely stop here. But not around 2:30, there are 3 schools on the street & traffic is awful. Parking is very limited (5 spaces) & there is no public or paid parking anywhere on this block. Since we were just passing through Monterrey, I don't think it was worth the half hour detour in heavy pollution & traffic to get here.
They don't seem to understand hospitality. The manager or owner was overhearing a conversation about one of the plates, so he decided to come to the table and remove the plates from the table even when he was told not to - He got offended by the comment about a plantain that was chewy and unable to be taken bites from. I am still amazed by the interaction, maybe he was having a bad day but if you are you need to remove yourself from the customers, so you don't damage the whole place ambience.
Delicious Mexican breakfast. The tarritos are magnificent. We went to buy some for pennies on the dollar at Taqueria La Mexicana right down the street!
This place is delicious. I was a little sceptical because I had read reviews saying the service wasn't that great, but we had wonderful and quick service even with the entire restaurant full. This place is definitely a hole in the wall with limited seating but it's absolutely charming. The food was amazing and authentic, and honestly I couldn't ask for more.
What a place! Food is remarkable delicious. Well prepared with attentions to details. Foods come from different regions of Mexico. We ordered many dishes and all of them were incredible good and well made and presented. I Recomended this little corner place for original ANTOJITOS of Mexico. Prices are very reasonable and well priced nothing expensive. Only thing missing is a cold beer. No alcoholic beverages. This increíble food could take better with a cold Mexican beer. I will come back while visiting this incredible city and I will recommend it forever. 👍🏻
Excellent food! Service was not ideal - I had to chase down someone to take my order, deliver everything I ordered, and pay the check, but the food was good enough that we can back again.
Great place to eat breakfast, the location is perfect and the food is very good it’s not super expensive and the portion is very good would recommend the tamales and the coffee with horchata

The top pizza establishment in town is FORNO.1, known for its authentic and delicious Neapolitan-style pizzas. They maintain the traditional ingredients and preparation methods of Naples, resulting in a truly genuine Italian experience. This hidden gem, reminiscent of a speakeasy, offers a relaxed atmosphere in their courtyard. It is advisable to bring your own drinks or opt for takeout due to limited beverage options. With an extensive menu that has been thoroughly explored by enthusiasts, it is clear that FORNO.

Best pizza in town !
At last, a real pizza from napoli in monterrey, respecting the ingredients and processes that make Napoli what it is !
Funghi is my favorite one
Que bello !
Extra pepperoni and cheese….I don’t think so! Neapolitan style pizza…they steal like in Naples!
Probably best pizza in town (almost undoubtedly)
amazing authentic neapolitan pizza, gracias

Casa Benell - Armida is a cozy spot that offers comfort food and good vibes, making it an ideal place to spend an afternoon. The Sammich Picana, featuring homemade bread with sliced picana, caramelized onion, house sauce, and grilled cheeses, is a must-try. They also offer unique dishes like a "concha" filled with crunchy chilaquiles. While prices are slightly above average, the quality and service are excellent.

The prices are a bit higher than the average but the quality and the service is great. The chilaquiles rojos, and orange juice I had were great, fresh and full of flavors. If you can, reserve before because sometimes it can be very busy on rush hours. Overall I very recommend the place if you are around the area
They offer very unusual dishes, which makes it more interesting. For example, I had a "concha" (sweet bread) cut by half and filled with crunchy"chilaquiles" (tortilla chips) with tomato sauce, beans, and avocado. Delicious!
Went around 8:30am on a Sunday. There were a few tables. After a while all the tables were full. Both food and service were great. I recommend it
My experience is nicely and comfortable, perfect for breakfast!
Waited over an hour for sub par food. Unless your’e doing take out breakfast which is what I believe they specialize in, dine in elsewhere.
Burger - great
Cinnamon rolls - ok
Beers - multiple local options
Price - a bit high
Good food in a nice setting, great latte and conchas

If you find yourself in the heart of Monterrey and want to immerse yourself in the authentic local culture, you cannot miss visiting the Restaurante Bar Zacatecas. This place is a true feast for lovers of Mexican food, offering a menu full of succulent cuts of meat, marinated ribs, and tacos that will make you want to come back for more.
Delicious meal, pork ribs are amazing!

Excellent service and delicious food. They serve you chips, salsa and chalupas as free appetizers. We enjoyed the Arancherra (Steak)plate and quesadilla. Reasonable prices. Dinner in US dollars for 3 people with a couple $6 micheladas and $3 water was $60.
This place is a local institution, an authentic cantina. The food is delicious, and the interior seems mostly unchanged from what it must have been like 50 years ago (but well upkept), which gives it its "ambiente." I'm not usually a fan of liver, but they make it palatable.
Zacatecas used to be the alternate place for people that went to "Indio Azteca" and couldn't find a seat there.
Then people started going for their ribs, a very delightful dish, but at least this time service was sub-par, waiters took forever to tend orders, the selection of beers was límited, for example, they didn't have "Indio" beer or "Bohemia Cristal', which are available everywhere.
If it weren't for the ribs, we wouldn't have stayed for lunch.
Ok
Excellent service. Succulent Ribs. Will come again.
Food was just ok, not what we expected.

Brutal Kitchen Bar lives up to its name with its mouthwatering arrachera and truffled potatoes, making it a must-visit spot. During the hot season, don't miss out on their refreshing mango and hibiscus mezcalitas. The attentive service from the waitstaff is also a standout feature here. Guests are warmly welcomed upon arrival and offered complimentary tomatoes and water.
I rarely take the time to leave reviews, but I feel the need to give a shoutout to an awesome place that we discovered very serendipitously.
Our experience at Brutal was nothing short of spectacular, both for the flavor of what we ate and the staff's hospitality.
The food was simply amazing, and our server Umberto made the experience so much better by giving us the best recommendations.
Him and the restaurant's manager really went the extra mile to take care of us and make sure we had the best time, stopping by to ask us how everything was goin without ever being invasive.
Honestly, I'd give this place and its staff 100 stars if I could.
And do yourself a favor and ask for Umberto if you stop by!

🐙Food: I thought I was in for a treat, the appetizer was outstanding, but my main dish was some “tostadas de chicharron de pulpo” and that was absolutely awful. The dead sea was less salty than this dish. I directly complained to the waiter and he tried making a lame excuse about it, saying that it was the result of deep frying the octopus to make chicharron. Like I would believe it. I’m Mexican, I’ve eaten this dish plenty of times. There was no exchange of the dish, no offer to reimburse, nothing to make it up. Important to say, I returned the dish almost in its entirety, I didn’t eat it.
🤵🏻♂️ Service: people were friendly, wasn’t expecting less from Mexican staff, but I was surprised by what happen with the food and their response. Unpleasant tbh. For the rest, it was all fine.
🪩Ambience: a bit loud, very dark. Not the place if you wanna have nice food and conversations, but an option to just go drinking, I guess.
The food and service was the best , all the employees are soo nice . It was really fancy , and clean. Not pricey at all , drinks were very good and not bad at all , loved it . Will go again whenever I go back ! Thank you !
Food was very good, service also very good, I read some not good reviews about volume of the music but was ok for us, I appreciate the tomato of courtesy it is nice to have something different and healthier.

Very cute spot. Oscar was our server and made a cocktail, wine and beer recommendation to our crew.
The bar inside is very moody w great music. Sitting outside when there’s nice weather is key. You hear the music, and have great view of the mountains (we were here at sunset).
We only tried the burger cause we had dinner reservations somewhere else, but the burger was definitely worth the stop!

Excellent place for chilling with friends and having beers or wines. the staff were super helpful and friendly and they can speak English.The cocktail beer and snacks were amazing. the burger was delicious rhe only thing is that the outside ambient is a little dark.
Great spot to grab a drink! I forget the name of this one, but the server, Oscar, was right on the money to reccomend it. Sat on the patio and watched the mountain as the sun set - overall a lovely experience.
The service was great from saied and Alfonso who kept bringing us drinks
Awesome drinks and amazing Vegetarian appetizers and entrees. We sat outside on the street. The servers were very friendly. Definitely try the sautéed okra.
Great place to grab a drink and a super tasty burger! Oscar provides fantastic service!
Amazing experience, great drinks and really good recommendations from the staff.
Get the burger, sit with your friends and drink wine. Unexpected and unrivaled

The chilaquiles were DELICIOUS. What I didn't like was the smoothie, perhaps because it was vegan protein (they also have whey options).
It's expensive, but like everything else in the area, and it took less than 10 minutes to serve us. I give it 4 stars for the smoothie.

Restaurant
Cuerno Calzada is a sophisticated restaurant and bar that offers fine dining experiences in Mexico. Established in 2018, it has gained a reputation for being one of the best fine and casual dining establishments in the area. Under the direction of Chef Michel Jose Ruiz Ramirez, Cuerno is known for its Noreste-style grill and artisanal menu featuring premium cuts, seafood, and appetizers like rib-eye bone marrow, crispy pork tacos, and campechana cake.
The service was exceptional, we went in for brunch. From the beginning the staff presented themselves in a professional and engaging manner. The ambiance was both cozy and intimate, enhancing the overall dining experience.
Thank you, Jared and Hector, for your exceptional service.
Jorge L — Google review
Cuerno is undoubtedly a destination-worthy restaurant, and our meal there (we were celebrating my nephew’s college graduation) was exceptional in many ways. The food alone justifies a visit: standouts included the chicharrones de pulpo (a must-order appetizer) and the pulpo zarandeado, along with flawlessly cooked short ribs and steak. While the steak and ribs could have benefited from accompanying sides, their generous portions and quality made this a minor note. Even the cocktails, though slightly milder than I prefer, were well crafted.
That said, at this caliber of restaurant, I’ve come to expect service that matches the culinary excellence. Unfortunately, our waiter seemed stretched thin, with delays in drink orders, a prolonged wait to place our meal, and an overall lack of attentiveness (perhaps due to larger tables taking priority) dimmed the experience slightly.
Still, Cuerno’s kitchen delivers brilliance on the plate, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend it. With a bit more focus on seamless service, it could truly shine as the five-star experience it aspires to be.
It was my first time visiting this place for breakfast, and I was pleasantly surprised—it maintains the same quality as its lunch and dinner offerings. The ambiance is elegant, the service is excellent, and the food is flavorful.
Compared to other breakfast options, the prices are very reasonable, and you’re guaranteed a high-quality experience. I also loved that their American coffee comes with refills!
Contrary to what one might expect, the place wasn’t crowded at all, making for a relaxed and enjoyable morning.
Everything was good here except for the table side tacos, they weren't that great meaning they were not worth the money, needed some salt. The Arrachera con Tuetano was outstanding, so tender and tasty wow. Free dessert on my wife's bday was a nice surprise also. All but the table side taco's were great even the octopus was fantastic and would definitely recommend this place and can't believe how many reviews they have my goodness. And that many reviews with 4.9 stars says volumes about the restaurant. Get here if you can!
Absolutely, hands down, best meal I've had in my life. Service unmatched. Atmosphere incredible. I can die happy now.
This place was amazing!! We just got into Monterrey and the taxi driver highly recommended.
Gregorio and Jare were exced our spectations. Attentive, courteous and this is how every place should be.
Everything that we ate was very tasty. Salsa super good and fresh.
I can’t stop talking about it ☺️
Super Rico todo. Es la mérito comida mexicana que he probado en mi vida.
Gregorio y Jare se pasaron de amables.
Our experience at Cuerno was truly exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone for an unforgettable evening… warm, elevated, and full of energy.
Jorge, Mario, and Ricardo went above and beyond for our group. They were incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and guided us through the menu with genuine care… making thoughtful recommendations and ensuring every detail was perfect from start to finish.
The food was outstanding…. every dish was beautifully executed, full of flavor, and clearly crafted with intention. It’s rare to find a place that nails both service and culinary experience at this level, but Cuerno exceeded every expectation.
My team and I left absolutely impressed and already can’t wait to return. Highly, highly recommend.
It's so delicious and good place to enjoy a dinner. The service of Calixto is extremely good.

An expensive meal, but probably the best food I had while in Monterrey. We were a group of 7. Ordered a wide variety of starters and main course items. The one item we did not order, although extremely interesting was the worm casserole 😔
Great ambiance, great service and a well stocked bar.
Overall, a splurge worthy restaurant to dine if you're in Monterrey!
Well educated staffs. Stunning environment. Mostly everyone was happy with their food. I enjoyed my time and my company.
Solid place to impress you, if you're into that, my mezcal served in a steer horn and the use of effervescent fogs was cool. Soups were average, veggie plate was amazing and so was the Rib plate. Very pricey menu
We had a blast! Specially Israel the cocktail master, who delighted us with some of his creations and an amazing experience. 100% recommended.
High end restaurant with good selection of meat, but too bad I don’t eat beef.
The service stuff is attentive and responsive.
The food is great, both the quality and portion.
It is on the expansive side, about 60 USD per person.
Let me just say that this was the BEST experience that I have ever had! As a person who is from the U.S. and hasn’t really been out of the country….I'm glad I got to experience a great food experience at this establishment! Israel, Juan Carlos y Chuy…were the BEST GraciaS!!!
I came for apps and drinks with two of my girl friends and we had such a great experience!
The service was great, the place was sparkling clean, it was a quiet night but it might had been because we went on a Monday, nonetheless the ambiance was great!
We sat on the patio and had the heater on as it was a bit chilly. We started with the chicharron and the noodles, delicious! We also ordered the octopus and corns on the cob, all delicious as well!
I tried one of their signature drinks, it was served in a super cool way!
I recommend this place 100% and I can’t wait to go back on my next visit to Monterrey!

El Gaucho provides an incredible dining experience. It starts at the vallet parking. The restaurant is attractively decorated and very comfortable. The tables are generously spaced and impeccably prepared. The tables are attended by waiters dressed in white dinner jackets. They are really well done! The table was attended continuously. Our waiter did an incredible job.
The food is really the high point. The meats are expertly prepared, exceptionally well seasoned. The house salad was delightful, fresh and nicely presented. If you are looking for a superb dinner, El Gaucho will deliver!
It's my favorite restaurant in Monterrey. I can never get enough, fantastic stakes, really great service. Just beware... When a waiter offers you a salsa "molcajeteada"... It'll be charged even though the waiter doesn't warn you about it. Every time is a fantastic experience, and even better meal. Something that anyone who goes for the first time, don't be fooled, the amount of food in any order is massive! So make sure you leave enough room for dessert... The banana, butter pecan and cajeta pie is a MUST! ENJOY!
The steak is delicious. It's a bit greasy because there's only meat and no vegetables. Be sure to order salsa molka. The price is a bit expensive.
If you are looking for a place where nobody pays attention to you, not even the server, this is the place you are looking for. It is a nice restaurant, but I am pretty sure they don't go the extra mile because they are already famous and have a good reputation. The food is good, but a little pricey. Portions are adequate, but the presentation for the flan is not the best.
Great taste, nice atmosphere, churrasco was great, good quality meat. Queso flameado with chorizo argentino is served with flour and corn tortillas, empanadas argentinas are tasty, while eating you can't miss the guacamole so be sure to order some to articulate a tasteful and great gastronomic experience. Ahorre agua beba vino.
Steak is very good but medium is not the same as in other countries, over here it is super rare. Also ordered the pizza but wouldn't recommend not very good for the price you could go somewhere like milk pizzeria much better, but I m rating just on the steak.
El Gaucho is and has always been a staple in the city and you HAVE to try it if coming from out of the city. It never disappoints. Try the house avocado salad (small it’s good for 4) and the empanadas (beef it’s a safe option). If you like spice get the piquín and lime salsa and put it on everything lol. Beware that the beef orders are massive, to where a full order can feed 6. The mixology program it’s on par with any other high end place. I would love to see a bit more range on the Mexican wine list including BC options. On previous occasions service has been spot on but this time the speed of service and time standards where a bit lacking. 15 min wait for a drink order and another 15 for the check at the end with an empty restaurant at the start, back to basics boys!

Great. Jorge and Diego were our waiters and they were very nice and complimentary. The food was great but not many selections. We came on my birthday and I recommend 100%. I am from the USA and this feels like home. The drinks were even good. The atmosphere received a 2 because the guest are allowed to smoke here. If you don’t like smoke (cigarettes) then I suggest telling the hostess so they can properly suit you.
The meal, the aesthetic, the service guest, the drinks, and the dessert was very exceptional. I really enjoyed everything here. I am American and this place I would recommend 100%. The only reason I gave the atmosphere a 2 is because the guest are allowed to smoke. If you mind it then okay but if not tell the host when you arrive so they can seat you properly. Also Jorge and Diego were my waiters very nice and accommodating to all my needs!

Pretty and cozy. Similar to places I would host dinner programs/ take high end accounts to, in the states.
Amazing food. Amazing service. What a great experience.
Daniel Alvarado served us and he was the best ever! Brilliant service, helped me out with the language barrier and provided that extra 1% that makes a difference. I had been on the road travelling in Central and South America and Daniel made me feel right at home. Please clone him. Thanks.
Food was delicious with great table side presentation and service with all of the dishes. Anything with steak is a guaranteed hit!
Very nice place for a good lunch or dinner. Family or business is a great option.
One of the best red-meat restaurants in Monterrey, without question!
Ask for the 3/4" Rib-Eye medium well. It is spectacular! And also ask for siders of Guacale Artichoke and Fresh Panela cheese crust on the grill! (Picture below)
Awesome!!!!
Excellent food. Best mojitos I've had in a while. The salad did have too much dressing, so I'd order the dressing on the side. Also the tequila based cocktails had a bit too much salt for our taste. The rest of the meal was great enough to overlook these minor issues.

PANGEA is a sophisticated restaurant known for its modern take on regional cuisine and extensive wine selection. It has been a favorite among renowned chefs, offering dishes like roasted suckling pig with creamy potatoes and guajillo-scented juice, regional cheese platters, quail, black aguachile, and perfect egg with chickpeas and octopus.
Pangea was our 2nd Michelin experience (the 1st being KOLI) in Monterrey. They offer a 10-course prefix menu for 2395 MXN.
This was much more of a typical dine-in experience compared to KOLI. However the food presentation was still excellent.
While KOLI edges it out in the overall experience, I found the food taste at Pangea to be on par. I actually liked some of the dishes here better such as the hamachi sashimi.
If I had to make one suggestion it would be to add a bit more variety to differentiate the 2 dessert courses. During our visit, both were sorbet based. I think the whole experience would have ended on a more memorable note if the 2 items had different textures.
Tom T — Google review
Food taste was great. Had the Menu del Dia with 3 courses. I chose aguachile de pulpo, rockot zarandeado and pavlova. No regrets. Service below average for a ‘Michelin’ star rated.
We really enjoyed this restaurant. Found the flavors to be better than KOLI.
Great spot!
Their Michelin star is well deserved. The courteous and helpful staff were patient with my minimal Spanish skills. The atmosphere is very cool and upscale.
The best of course was the food. Everything from the bread and butter to the final desserts were a delightful experience. The aguachile was so flavorful, and the steak and foie gras were cooked to perfection.
The waitstaff was really great and accommodated my needs. I speak English, but there was no language barrier, which was really nice. I thought the food was very nice, especially the dessert, but overpriced. After looking up the restaurant later, I realized it had a Michelin star. I think the food was very good, but not Michelin level good in my opinion. Giving 5 stars for the staff and service level.
An amazing culinary experience. The tasting menu and wine pairing was absolutely fantastic and well attended to by amazing and helpful staff. We loved our meal!
Very good food and a well deserved Michelin Star.
Impeccable presentation without falling into pretentiousness, and top quality ingredients.
We ordered a tuna tartare appetizer and it was a delicious way to start our dinner.
We had the catch of the day and a magret de canard, both mains were excellent and everything on the plates had a harmonious relation in between.
The restaurant has a simple but good kids' menu without being a junky kids' menu.
The dessert, a mango-coconut take on traditional flavours was surprisingly good, it looks a little bit on the weird side but nevertheless good.
Service was slow and not consistent, it is probably the only downside of the experience dining at Pangea. The hostess and the first server to greet you were good and attentive but after that, a very uneven service.
But overall it was an amazing experience. Will definitely be back.
This place was great. Really good service, always attentive. The food as a whole was really good, but I felt like it was too elaborate as well. I think one or two elaborate plates would’ve been enough but it was everything. The tomato salad and pâté are a must. One very fresh and the other very smooth. The tomato pasta was delicious, definitely one of their best dishes. The mains were all good. Specially the duck leg with gnocchi, which I’m not usually a fan of but I was pleasantly surprised. The desserts were both good and nicely portioned.

I always ask for water bottle closed and they bottle that arrive to may table as not closed, it was not purified water, customera know when you give them the wrong thing; so ask always for closed bottle water, and do no accept them wrong, ok!! They have good service, and food is fine.

It is a restaurant with great mood and service. But the food tastes normal.
Wow wow wow. Stunning views, beautiful atmosphere and attentive staff. Loved loved loved all the food we tried. It was amazing! My Tio and Tia brought me here while we visited from California. We loved every bite and truly enjoyed our experience. I will definitely be back when I'm in Monterrey. ❤️
Really enjoyed all of the appetizers, cervesa to the point we did not order dinners. Salsa was home made to desired heat level on the spot. Many different types of appetizers from guacamole with crickets to tacos, ceviche, salmon, tuna, it was all good.
Had a wonderful work dinner on the outdoor patio. Nice cool breeze with cold beers and delicious food. I even tried the crickets…which surprisingly wasn’t too bad. Just a little salty but packed with protein. I ordered the octopus as my main and it was a whole octopus. Sorry the picture is only part of the octopus! I got too excited to eat it when it arrived. Was so tender and perfectly cooked and seasoned. All the tacos were delicious as well.
Came here for lunch with coworkers. The food was very good. The salsa for the chips was amazing. I want to buy a bottle. Service was okay.
The food was very good, we enjoyed it greatly. The outside patio area is a great atmosphere.
Great place. The food and vibe was just great. 100% recommend it.

Restaurant
Mochomos in Monterrey, Mexico, is a popular restaurant known for its blend of authentic Mexican cuisine and grilled options. The friendly service and wide variety of delicious dishes make it a top choice for food enthusiasts. This Sonoran-style restaurant offers an extensive menu featuring appetizers, meats, seafood, and an impressive selection of wines. Visitors have raved about the exceptional dining experience at Mochomos, praising the flavorful beef and chicken dishes as well as the perfectly roasted cauliflower.
The atmosphere can be described as “cool” and “chic”. It’s dark and cozy. The staff was so attentive. My Spanish is not as good as a 2 year old but we were able to communicate and they were all smiles. Dinner was lovely with a flaming appetizer and well presented chicken with a tamarind sauce that was really good. And I’m not a fan of tamarind. But I’m a fan of that sauce. The flavors were complex and robust. Every dish was well prepared and presented. The portions were spot on. Recommend!

Carlos Almendra was a great server gave us lots of suggestions on the menu. Food came out very quickly and everything was delicious.
I recently dined at Mochomos in Monterrey, Mexico, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The menu is a celebration of flavors, and everything we tried was truly amazing.
We sampled several different beef and chicken dishes, each cooked to perfection with a depth of flavor that really stood out. The cauliflower was a surprising highlight—roasted to a tender crispness that made it impossible to stop eating. The sesame fried cheese was another standout, with a delightful crunch and rich, savory taste that paired beautifully with the other dishes.
The service was also top-notch. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. They were quick to offer recommendations, and every suggestion was spot on.
We ended the meal with a chocolate dessert that I can’t recommend highly enough. It was the perfect sweet finish to a wonderful dinner—rich, indulgent, and beautifully presented.
If I had one small complaint, it would be the atmosphere. While the restaurant is stylish and modern, the lighting was a bit too dim for my taste. It created a moody vibe, but I would have preferred a slightly brighter setting.
Overall, Mochomos is a must-visit for anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience in Monterrey. The food, service, and attention to detail make it a standout choice
Oh my goodness! The best place the food amazing of vetthing I ordered was made with so much taste !! Super Recommended!! Enrique Gutierrez our waiter was so attentive and respectful ! Kudos to their amazing food and service!
Armando and Fernando are the best! They provided excellent service. We had so much fun dining here with them and we will be back.
If you’re in Monterrey and want to treat yourself to some top-tier Sonoran cuisine, Mochomos might just be your next. Let me break it down for you so you know what you're walking into.
The vibe here is on point. The decor has that northern Mexican flair that feels authentic without trying too hard. It’s the kind of place where you can kick back with friends, share a laugh, and still feel like you're somewhere special. Perfect for date nights, birthdays, or even just because you’re craving good food.
Mochomos specializes in Sonoran dishes, and wow, they deliver. The rib eye Mochomos? Juicy, flavorful, and well cooked. Their tortillas de harina are a must-try, and don’t even get me started on the pear salad. And for dessert? The chocolate sphere is not just dessert, it’s a whole experience. Veggies felt a little too “diet portion.” Just something to keep in mind.
Service mostly stellar, servers friendly and attentive attitudes. These folks know how to make you feel welcome and ensure your meal goes off without a hitch. On the flip side, I have had to ask for the check multiple times, which is a little annoying but not a dealbreaker.
Portion sizes for certain sides seem skimpy, and the quality control on dishes isn’t always 100%. Also, waiting for the bill isn’t exactly the grand finale anyone wants after an otherwise fantastic meal.
So, go for the ambiance, stay for the rib eye and tortillas, and finish strong with that chocolate sphere.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Just cross your fingers you catch them on a good night and be prepared for a little patience if the service slows down. Still, for authentic Sonoran flavor, Mochomos is worth the visit.
Hostess in front - not too friendly but they’re young ladies.
Our waiter was great and super attentive. We ordered the following:
Augachile de ribeye: 10/10 - meat was super tender
Chicharrón de ribeye: 3/10 - super salty and very hard to chew.
Pulpo a las brasas: 6/10 - I liked the potatoes that came with this but the seasoning was a little too salty for me.
Pastel del plátano: 7/10 - I wish it was cooled but not too sweet and pretty good banana flavor.
Pastel de chocolate: 7/10 - this was too sweet for me but if it’d be perfect for someone who really loves chocolate.
The ambience was nice. Low lighting and somewhat romantic.
We’ll be back to try other dishes as we believe we ordered the wrong things and weren’t able to really enjoy the food.
Be sure to request patio seating so you can enjoy the window views.
I did not have a good experience at this restaurant. 1.) we were celebrating two birthdays, nothing felt special 2.) we needed service multiple times and the waiter was just talking to co workers without checking in with us. We had to approach them. 3.) They were rude because our tripping didn’t meet their expectations 4.) last but not least, my baby got sick off of chicken tenders. She was throwing up all night due to food poisoning. The atmosphere/aesthetic is nice but the service was terrible!

Great place to have a nice breakfast or brunch. Outside patio with live piano player.
If not very hot I recommend always outside.

Good spot for breakfast! I came early during a business trip in MTY, the food was decent and the service was just perfect.
Mimosa table side is a must, love sitting outside and the menu of juices is good also! The food is good!
Relaxing tables out in the patio. Beautiful view to the modern looking buildings. Service was great, the soup was tasty. This area is more of a high end neighborhood.
Great food but small portions.
One of the best places to eat in San Pedro. Beatiful outdoor delicious food great service. Just see how cool the to-go-box is.
Food still good. At the beginning was great, but they have decreased their portions and increase their prices. Service is not as good as it used to as well, hope they correct the way and get back on track.
A wonderful breakfast experience!
We had breakfast at Lázaro & Diego and were delighted by the excellent service from Tatiana. Her attention to detail, knowledge of the menu, and genuine courtesy made our morning memorable. She took the time to make sure everything was just right and offered great recommendations. Thank you, Tatiana, for starting our day with such a pleasant and thoughtful experience!

Sierra Madre Garza Sada is a beloved spot for many, with special memories and great times shared with friends. The "Fraile" dark beer comes highly recommended. While some had mixed experiences with the service, others found the personnel attentive and the food superb. The restaurant follows social distancing protocols and capacity restrictions, making it suitable for various gatherings. Overall, it's considered a top-notch place to enjoy good food and excellent beer in a pleasant atmosphere.
My waiter was as worthless as a rain jacket made out of mesh. But a girl from the bar and manager at least came by every once in a while to pick up the slack. I don’t know if he thought I only knew ingles and didn’t want to try, but I’m fluent in Spanish.
5 stars because it’s a great restaurant. Food and beer are top notch.

Love the food that they serve, very tasty.
Sad because they no longer have yummy apple dumpling.
Little bit slow the service or not fully aware when drinks need to be refilled .
Lujito card, amazing thing, ask for it!
I've been going to this "Sierra" since I was in my 20's, normally I'm very unbiased when it come to my reviews (but not today, lol). this Sierra has special meaning to me, lot of great times here with my lifetime friends, I like the "Fraile" dark beer (you Must try it) other than that is "just another Sierra", I'm giving 5 out of 5 just out of my personal experience.
Very good beer and food options! This location is superior to the Sierra Madre in the centro of Monterry.
Excellent meal and servic. Personnel were always on watch to whatever our needs were and the good was superb. Beer is very very good. I recommend this for family, Friends, work or any other kind of reunion.
The menu has lots of interesting options, but unfortunately both our food and service were mediocre. I do believe, though, that the norm is better than we had. I would gladly give it a second shot.
Great comfort food restaurant, with a wide variety of options to satisfy any kind of crave you might have at the moment. In addition, prices are reasonable and there are discount coupons that make it really worth it.
This place has the best beer in town. Locally brewed. Buyding the "Lujito card" is worth so you can get 2 dishes/drinks for 1 in selected products.

The menu features inventive takes on familiar dishes like tacos and steak, as well as vegan options. The establishment provides a chic and modern dining environment with an alternative music vibe. It's known for its delicious tacos arabes with pastor meat, truffle fries, cauliflower steak, and an enormous carrot cake.
Definitely the best Mexican in town! I especially loved their cauliflowers, beef tacos and the blueberry cheesecake. The ambiance is so nice.

Good Service, The Arrachera Steak was fenomenal & the Cheesecake delicious. The Paloma or as they call it, the Gavilan was a good drink option.
We were referred to Gallo 71 by a friend, and it turned out to be one of the best. We loved it so much that we came here for dinner twice.
The food is absolutely delicious everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. From the perfectly seasoned tacos and crispy octopus to the roasted beet salad, fried bites with creamy dipping sauce, and the tacos al pastor with grilled pineapple every dish was outstanding.
A special mention to our waiter, Salvador, who was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home both times we visited. His warm service really elevated our experience. We highly recommend Gallo 71 for anyone visiting the city.
The service here was exceptional. Someone was always at the ready to help. The minute we sat down at the table the waiter recommended some drinks from the bar to get us started. They were very accommodating throughout the whole service. The salad was very fresh. The bone marrow was delicious and the tortillas were perfectly warm. The steak was delicious and cooked to perfection, with the side of cauliflower perfectly roasted. The cake was delicious but a bit big and de absent. I highly recommend this place.
Good food and service, portions are normal/small. Meat dishes are great, the menu is not huge but every dish is guarantee it will be good.
A colleague brought us to this restaurant for dinner, and I didn't have any particular expectations, but I was truly impressed! Every dish we ordered was outstanding. To start, we had scallops, which were my favorite, and tacos. The salsa that came with the scallops took it to the next level. The tacos weren't your typical street tacos, but they were excellent. Among the two, I particularly loved the tacos de trompo (Al pastor). For our main course, we chose the Ribeye and Arrachera. While the Ribeye was good, the Arrachera was exceptional, grilled to perfection, incredibly juicy, and bursting with flavor. We ended the meal with a nice blueberry cheesecake that came in a generous portion. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff.
A stunning first time ‘Mexican food in Mexico’ experience!
Although not the classic Mexican restaurant it was a great fusion experience of street food meets Mexican steakhouse done to a high standard, service was attentive & personable. Highly recommend, I will be going back.
The color, balance, and taste that the food in this restaurant offers is unmatched. Rib eye burger was unlike any, cooked perfectly and having all elements of the burger on point for an exquisite bite. Truly a recomendable site for those who seek high-end cuisine whilst also getting the best service and attention at the table.

Outstanding food. We tried Chile en nogada, cabrería and pan de elote. Helpful and professional staff.
If I could give higher than 5 stars I would. Eduardo was our server and he was absolutely outstanding! Steak was melt in your mouth and so incredibly flavorful. The best part was the side of grilled cabbage with matcha sauce. It was to die for. Best meal I've had in a very long time.
I had an excellent experience at Los Hidalgo’s . The atmosphere was welcoming and stylish, the service was attentive without being overbearing, and every dish was packed with flavor. I would absolutely recommend this spot for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Pedro was an amazing host !

The 4 of us ordered appetizers, different cuts and it was prepared perfectly. No complaints. Our waitress was very attentive. #satisfied
Everything was delicious, but especially the bone marrow tacos. Just be aware that almost every review is severely underestimating the cost per person. Well worth it though!! Highly recommended.
Well appointed interiors. Come hungry! The waitstaff couldn’t be more helpful, a team of 4 waited on us taking their time to answer our questions and explain the menu. Vegetarian options, everything plated with attention to detail. The grilled vegetables could have been the cover shot for a food magazine. Large space with several tvs playing videos and sports. Music throughout with lively vibe.
Fantastic restaurant to have a nice dinner! Food is amazing, service is top level, and the drink are delicious.
The service & food are excellent!! It’s a little bit more in the “bar” noisy, but you can talk. The terrace is definitely the best part to sit, and it has AC.
You can come and eat really good, feel pampered and have a nice drink & wine.
Visiting from out of town. The food was great quality. They cooked the steak just how I wanted. The berry lychee mocktail was to die for! The service was great my waiter Irais was excellent. Thanks.
The service and quality es really good.
Obviously the main thing is the steaks.
The price is very much over the average and you should make a reservation in advance.
In general for the price and the experience is worth the try.

The restaurant Curry Sultán in Monterrey, Mexico is highly recommended for those seeking authentic Indian cuisine. The cozy ambiance and delightful taste make it a fantastic choice. There are plans to remodel the establishment, giving it a new and sophisticated look. Additionally, they have another branch in Houston. While the exact names on the menu may not be remembered, one must try their refreshing rose water drink.
This is a small restaurant situated in San Pedro. It is not very fancy but started by an Indian chef in the past. Later he moved on and gave all the recipe to locals so basically runs by local now.
We ordered butter chicken, badam sherbet, lassi and dal Makhni. Food comes in steel vessels and plate which remind you an Indian touch. In my opinion It is the most authentic Indian food I tasted in Monterrey. If you wish to eat Indian food this is the place. Food is a bit costly because of the San Pedro but very tasty.
Staff is very helpful and kind, always ready to help attitude.
I saw some bad reviews but they are absurd I mean you can not get Mexican tacos in India so how can you expect same Indian food in Mexico? This is the best Indian food, ambient we can get in Mexico.
Keep up good work, hope to eat again there soon!!

Curry Sultan in Monterrey, Mexico did not meet the expectations. As an Indian looking for authentic Indian food, we had high hopes for the restaurant but were ultimately disappointed with the taste and presentation of the dishes.
We felt let down when the expectations were not met, especially when we spent a significant amount of money on a meal. It's unfortunate that the food did not meet the standards.
A below average locale for Indy cuisine.
The first thing that strikes you is the locale... it’s an old and dingy building. Where concerns about cleanliness are hard to ignore. The food is good, no complaints there. It’s made right at the moment you order, so be prepared to wait. Flavors do take your palate to an exotic place. The issue of price needs to be revised, granted the food is good, but the premises are a shame ... in the end, the value vs price result is poor.
First, they do not accept cards. Only cash
Second, food is super over priced
Third, the taste was below average.
If you are looking for tasty authentic Indian food then this is not the right place at all.
I looooved the place!! If you're looking for authentic Indian cuisine in Monterrey, Mexico, this is a must!!! With a cozy atmosphere and a wonderful, delicious flavor, this restaurant is a great choice!!... I heard they're about to start remodeling the place for a fancy, new look... They also have another location in Houston. I don't remember the exact names on the menu, but... You have to try the water of roses drink, it's soooo refreshing!!! As for the food, my recommendation is butter chicken, rice with vegetables, cauliflower with the reddish sauce, and fried veggies!!! Yummy!!! Yummy!!! You're gonna love it!!! 🥰😊❤👍
Best Indian food place in Monterrey area, no doubt. Try the samosas, veggie and beef. Tikka masala and butter chicken are great. The garlic naan bread is fine. For me, the mango lassi is a must.
The food quality and flavors are excelent. The restaurant indeed isnt super posh, but the food speaks for itself. Would go again for sure.
Wonderful place to get very good curry sultan, I love this place. Yes they are a little bit in the expensive side and they take a long time to make the food but it's worthy!
Tip, you can call them and they will have the food ready for you when you get there ! That if you k is what you want.
I would go back and definitely refomened!

Great restaurant in Monterrey’s posh shopping district. The camarones are truly prawns. Check out my photo with fork placed for size reference. They were huge! and tasty. The roast beef was delicious. The restaurant was overflowing with 30 somethings and a smattering of more seasoned patrons. The music was well suited for the elegant atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive. Nothing went wrong. It was a well choreographed experience of professionals from the hostess to the waiters and from the roaming kitchen staff (yes the cooks were present) to the watchful managers. Well done! Go experience it for yourself.
Amazing food: best steak I’ve had in Monterrey. Quiet atmosphere and excellent views. Great knowledge of food allergies (gluten and dairy allergy).
Food is good but slow and a bit long waiting time for me.
For one of the top 20 restaurants recommended to visit in Monterrey we were highly disappointed. Salmon and asparagus are better at home and the medium steak was more like medium-rare. Mashed potatoes much too salty. The dessert was delicious however saving them some points.
One of the best restaurants in town in my opinion. Great service, fair prices, good portions, very nice atmosphere and view. Love the 24 layer chocolate cake.
Amazing service. Some of the best steaks I've had. Comparable to any steakhouse in Dallas or Chicago.
The selection of food in the menu is poor, more like if all they serve there are appetizers to share.
Food was pretty expensive for the value.
Sounds of the menu is devoted to Tacos, next time better go to Tacos Orinoco instead, I'm leaving the selection of drinks particularly cocktails are limited, in few words the place is over-rated

This was our second time going and the service was average. We ordered three different types of rice and none of them were warm enough. We went to celebrate my friend’s birthday and they forgot to bring a cake for her or make it special, even though I specified on my reservation that there was a birthday. We ordered the buñuelos, and they were delicious. Overall, it was not worth the price and will definitely not be back.
Hataxa is a very trendy restaurant; just like Buda Bar in the Soho NY area, if you are in Monterrey, is a cool place to visit, try delicious gourmet international cusine and had a great time! Enjoy!! 😍🙌🏻
Service (Walter) food and place eas amazing. Will definitely be back.
Great experience, delicious food, expensive but worth it!
If there was less than one star I would give it to them. Worst service, worst experience. We came to expect a great experience and left before even ordering.
Our table was ready, yet they sat the “VIP” guests at OUR table so they could wait for their “reserved room”. 30 wasted minutes just so some other party could wait comfortably at OUR table.
Absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable!
First “nice” restaurant we came to, we are visiting from Texas, this disrespectful behaviorwould have never happen in America!!
I would NEVER recommend this place.
Lovely place, excellent food, waiter named Walter, was extremely helpful. With absolutely everything. If you need help deciding on a dish. Walter made some excellent recommendations. He was polite and absolutely delightful with our group. We will definitely be back.
Can I give the service 10 stars? Had a great experience and food was very good … the tacos!!!

Los Curricanes is a seafood restaurant with great food and wonderful views. The waitstaff was very accommodating, and the dinner was delicious.
We must have had like 10 different dishes. The Tuna Sashimi with Mango was amazing, the Aguachile was great too. Then we had some Pescado a la Leña which was out of this world good. We then tried Al Ajillo Shrimp and Morita Shrimp, both were to die for. We also tried the Rockefeller Oysters that looked great but in reality I found them average and suprisingly they were not served in the original shell so it made me suspicious, so avoid those. We also had fresh octupus tacos that really lacked flavor, however they were cooked to perfection. Last but not least we had a Corn Cake dessert that was amazing. Prices were reasonable, service was ok but a bit slow and reactive. All in all, great place. I would definitely come back.

Had a cevice combo and was blown away by how good the seafood was considering how far the ocean is. Everything was flavourful, delicious and tender. The ambience is perfect with some tables overlooking the outdoor courtyard.
Excellent food and atmosphere, wait staff was very accommodating and dinner was delicious.
I’ve been coming here for a while and the food has held up pretty well. The prices have gone up and some of the items are priced. I usually get the tuna tostada but it’s ten dollars and for the amount of food it’s not worth it in my opinion. I usually get two tostadas which comes out to about 400 pesos (not included drink or tip) per person. It’s up to everyone who goes! The tuna tostada is really yummy!
Great food! Nice views!
Absolutely great Seafood, all of it. And, even their Ribeye steak isn't bad. They have Pacifico Beer, and the staff and waiters here are excellent.
Octopus molcajete was nice. The tuna ceviche was also nice. They have a small selection of artisanal beers.
Awesome restaurant, seafood is what I would recommend and try to tell the waiter how do you want it or they will bring you something from the menu

The chicken panini sandwich at MON PARIS Crepes and Bistro.

The sandwich comes with two side dishes: a flavorful pasta salad with fusilli pasta, and a creamy potato salad featuring chunks of potato and bits of tomato. The contrast of textures and vibrant colors makes this meal visually appealing and appetizing. Every bite of the panini offers a perfect balance of flavors, with the tender chicken perfectly complemented by the crunchy, seeded bread. This dish is an inviting option for a satisfying lunch or light dinner. A must-try! 🍽️

Gluten and dairy free crepes! My kids were in heaven. The salads were beautiful. Great prices. We will be back for sure!
Panini is a bit salty for my taste but good otherwise.
Takes a little too long (30+ mins) considering th small order.
We also got crepe, it was also a little too sweet for my taste but otherwise good.
Decent decorations.
The crepes themselves were fine, but nothing special. What was really nice about them was how big they were. They pretty much fill the entire place so you shouldn't leave hungry. The staff was very friendly and took good care of us when we ate breakfast with them. The price seemed a little much for what it was.
Order their sweet crepes then you are good... the savory food here is not worth it like what i got in rhe picture. At least i had a small piece of lettuce... 😁
But I think the overall its a good place. Except that maybe next time, if they have gathering like group of people, they could provide a room for them, the noise from those people disturbs others. You can walk from here for 5 minutes to visit Palcio de Hierro.
Better to go in San Jeronimo branch.
Crepes, like no other place, the Georgette (if I remember correctly the name) is a must... and the eggs, try the Benedictines, very tasty pouched eggs...
Food's delicious and I believe you get way more in service and food quality for what you pay. Very good option for a nice wine, a good date, or plain relaxation.
Food is correct, place looks good and pleasant. Service was not as good as it should be depending on the waiter.
I recommend this place for the ambient and food, BUT I personally may not go there again due to the service.

Well I’m not sure about any of the negative reviews because this is really great Italian food! The pizza and homemade pasta are incredible. In Italy a dish with simple ingredients made with love is the best thing you’ll find and outside of Italy this is the only place I’ve found it! Francisco is amazing and I look forward to bringing friends and family to eat here!
Would not recommend this place. The service was okay, but the main waiter did not know what he was doing. The wine list was outdated and they didn’t know which wines they had or which year they were. I had to ask him about four times to check it correctly. The food was fine but nothing out of the ordinary. The artichokes were cumbersome to eat and bland. The squid was good and interesting. Both pastas were a bit dull and lacking flavor. The pizza was okay though.
I've been searching for good Italian restaurant in Monterrey for a year. This place is so amazing. Great, delicious and fresh food with authentic Italian flavors. Excellent service and ambient atmosphere. Coming from Europe where we have lot of good Italian restaurant I had high expectations on food and this place simply met all my wishes. Great place to eat!
One of the best restaurants I've ever been to! Our table agreed we had the best wait staff any of us had experienced in years! Excellent wine selection. Highly recommend any of the pastas finished tableside. And the truffles for dessert!
Incredible food. Authentic Italian doesn’t get bette than this in Mexico. This was our 2nd visit. 4 years ago it was amazing and after 2 trips to Italy it is still just as good.
Excellent food and service. We began with a glass of Prosecco. It was very nice and it paired great with the salmon carpaccio with caviar. We ordered a bottle of Chianti. It was also very good, a little overpriced. For main dish my wife ordered the pasta ali oli. I got the Pedro Verde filet. It was delicious. My daughters got the lasagna, the spaghetti bolognese and the spinach raviolis (these were very tasty). I truly recommend this place fir the great food, good service and nice ambiance. A walking distance from Quinta Real Hotel and Safi Luxury Valle hotel.
It was Great! We had been in this restaurant before and the food is always top of the line, but tonight the special end of the year dinner and the special show was fantastic. Highly recommend when you are visiting Monterrey!

La Catarina is a culinary gem nestled in Monterrey, where traditional Mexican cuisine meets modern elegance. The restaurant's interior design beautifully blends the natural beauty of agave plants with the sophistication of leather accents, creating an inviting atmosphere. Guests can indulge in meticulously crafted dishes that highlight local ingredients and are presented with a touch of luxury. One standout feature is La Catarina's extensive drink menu, boasting an impressive selection of over 200 tequilas alongside fine national wines.
Truly satisfying, homemade authentic Mexican brunch at La Catarina. A charming Mexican restaurant serving variety of traditional Mexican dishes presented beautifully. Delicious food. Very attentive staff. Our server, Victor was excellent! Do not miss this place when in Monterrey. For $15 per person, you can eat as much as you want from the brunch menu without sacrificing the flavor.

Came for the brunch and was pleasantly impressed by the variety of dishes on the menu. Made a reservation and came as soon as they opened. Great service! Had the nicest surprise trying their pancakes with chaya 🤤
The last time I ate here was about 8-9 years. I have to say I was mindblown by the amazing cuisine. We tried at least 8 dishes and all of the were close to perfection. I regret wholeheartedly not going More often. It's modern and traditional Mexican food of the highest quality, prices are a bit expensive but they match the experience. Congratulations to La Catarina, best meal I had in Monterey in quite some time.
Good service, staff is friendly. I liked the bar area as it was more quiet and cozy than the restaurant. Ambience was nice. Food is overall good, maybe a but overpriced. The salmon with corn was tasty and portion wise, good. The appetizers are tasty too and size portions adequate. Would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a Mexican restaurant in Monterrey. Location is also convenient.
Very traditional Mexican food (finally). We are vegetarians and they have a vegan menu (you need to request). They waiter came and did a homemade salsa in the molcajete😍. Very tricky way to go to the restaurant, if you not Mexican take and Uber! 😆. Also they play a lot of boleros (a romantic slow type of Mexican music).. It gets super busy when large parties reserved in the restaurant. You can reserved your spot ahead of time.
As their Outside sign claims: Sabor de México
This restaurant has an array of options. Great food and spirits.
The chef's creativity privedes you with an extraordinary dinning experience.
Their Gloria's Terrine is AWESOME
One of the best meals and service I have had. From the basic to the exotic every dish is impeccable. Simple Mexican dishes are enhanced and served with utmost detail. This was one of those meals which become memorable.
Exotic and comfort food. English menu available, but it may not be as you imagine. Come here with friends to enjoy a variety of dishes. 2 trips here and the food + service was excellent.

La Torrada is a renowned steakhouse in Monterrey that has been serving top-notch grilled dishes since 2014. Led by Chef Joel Arizpe, the restaurant prides itself on its attention to detail and sophisticated presentation of each cut of meat. The signature Tomahawk steak coated in gold and the Tio Guillo rib are among the highlights, along with the meticulously prepared wood-fired oysters.
I was brought here during Fabtech work trip and La Torrada is one of the best restaurants I've visited in Mexico. This place is world class.

What a true pleasure to have come to this restaurant. From the beginning with a warm welcome till leaving the restaurant everything was perfect.
Obviously, it's an upscale place and prices go along with it but you can't go wrong with it.
Every detail asked in advance was fulfilled, the food was exceptional, I would have liked a really spice sauce but its a personal taste.
The wine choice is algo great with some good Mexican pearls. The meat was served on the perfect point as asked.
Would like to point out of how clean everything is, such as toilets.
The service is attentive and never pushy allowing for a relaxed dinner with never having to raise the voice.
Thank you La Torrada for a great experience.
Fantastic dining experience in a salon with outside patio. The food was amazing and the service top notch. The apps were delicious and recommend any steak on the menu!
We started with tacos, followed by a tomahawk steak that was grilled to perfection with grilled asparagus and beetroot as sides. The tangy spicy sauce accompanying the meat was savory and flavorful. We ended with a corn cake dessert which goes very well with the vanilla ice cream.
Good: food and service. Ribs are amazing
Octopus was simply delicious! Try it for yourself. :) Will definitely come back, at least for that.
The place is nice; and great location.
Food was good. I Ordered the rib is huge and slow cooked. Flavor was intense and greasy little too strong for my taste. Service is good. It is very expensive compared to other similar places
It's my favorite place to eat in Monterrey. Phenomenal appetizers, cold drinks, delicious and tender steaks. Try the cowboy steak with salt, a side of guacamole, a head of cauliflower, and your choice of dessert. Or order several cuts and share with the group for a taste test of your own. You will want to make this a regular stop.

Thank you for all the wonderful memories you brought to us.

Please they have servers standing around and no one cares to ask for drinks or refills . You have to be a tall neck to get service. Sad of the story they don’t realize how good of a tipper I am . Please tech this server to do their job
It was very busy when I went but the place was absolutely humming. Service did not skip a beat and the wait staff was pleasant throughout the whole meal. Very attentive, food was immaculate. I'll have to say the ice cream and coffee at the end was the perfect seal. Spectacular.
Weekdays lunch time service’s are very bad, we had to wait for the meat so long .Disappointed
Nice place for celebratations, some desert have price $80 mxn, No bad but is hard to get the invoice, the picaña and the pinapple. Have special prices after 7pm Monday to Friday. ;)
This is a Brazilian restaurant. The price is set per person, and drinks are not included. There are usually a lot of people, so I tend to go early.
The meat is delicious, they serve you so many types, make room for all of them

I visited Botanero Moritas San Pedro based on a recommendation. Despite its small exterior, the interior facilities are highly comfortable. The overall service was satisfactory, although one waiter was persistent in encouraging additional spending. It should be noted that not all preparations and drinks are listed on the menu. In terms of quality-price ratio, there is room for improvement.
Awesome place to eat.
The food here is great. The panela cheese, and sauté brocolli were both pleasant surprises. You can never wrong with the beef tacos. They were just delicious. The ambience was great.. looks like an old Mexican hacienda .. sort of. Our server frequently touched base with us to make sure we were ok. Really five star service.
Alex A — Google review
This place was a straight banger. Amazing tacos, the meat was so good and perfectly cooked. We also ordered a plate of beets, it had cream and arugula. another plate with zucchini, carrots, sliced parmesean and green salsa underneath. We had drinks, sangria and jarrito which is like mezcal and pineapple with the flavored salt on the rim. Everything was so good and perfectly crafted. Attached some menus in the photos too
A cool traditional-style Mexican restaurant.
If you are looking for a spot to celebrate or have a work/friend group formal reunion without worrying about the price, this could be the place.
I have to admit, for me, the prices were way too high.
Disclaimer: This was my first visit.
Price Warning: Very High prices.
Dish Recommendation: Atropellado; beef Jerry with salsa borracha [with beer].
Beverage Recommendation: Catrina; a cocktail containing mint, strawberry, raspberry & tequila.
Cards on the table: I would not visit often, given the price but they have decent dishes.
What a great place to have a good time and great food. Service was incredible, vibe was just perfect and the food was top notch! We will come back every time we're in town.
What can I say? I absolutely love this place. Perfect for watching a game with friends, or meeting for a casual (and delicious) lunch. So versatile and consistent. If you still haven’t been to Botanero, do yourself a favor and go.
The food here is amazing traditional botana “appetizer” portions. Highly Recommend the short rib taco, tostada de atún, and taco de ribeye. They have their own beer too. Very chill and relaxed atmosphere. Feels like your in a speakeasy bar.
Very nice find in old San Pedro. 3rd visit, never have to wait. Two different pollo dishes were ordered. Both were excellent. The ribeye was just okay.
Wow! Delicious food, incredible atmosphere, fantastic service and the salsas.
Let’s go here again soon!!!

Corbaro by Fornera Wine House offers an exceptional dining experience in a private and intimate setting. The proprietor, Sandro, is passionate about creating a memorable culinary journey with expertly paired wines. The attentive service from staff members like Emily and Oscar adds to the overall excellence of the experience. Guests rave about the high-quality wine selection and the intimate ambiance of the small dining room.
We were really looking forward to our dinner here. and we were not only not disappointed, but our expectations were far surpassed and had one of the best gastronomical experiences ever.
When we arrived, we arrived in a tiny shop, and the proprietor welcomed us, and had us go up a small winding staircase, which led to a small, very intimate dining room.
They have a good selection of high-quality wines and an assortment of younger, inexpensive wines.
The Italian chef, who prepares the meals fresh to order in the dining room, prepared some amazing dishes.
We ordered everything Family Style, so we could all try everything. One in our part is unable to eat fresh onion, or fresh lactose products, and the chef easily accommodated us.
For starters, we started with the Carpaccio, which was the best we have had anywhere. Fresh, mouthwatering, bold flavors, leaving you wanting more! The Carpaccio was memorable and would travel again for this! The perfectly cooked Octopus was also delightful, with roasted grape tomatoes, started us off with very high expectations of what was to come.
For our main entrees, we had Lasagna. A different style than I have ever had, and it was incredible, being one of the best I have ever tried, which is not said lightly. We had gnocchi with a fresh truffle sauce, which was to die for, intense, yet subtle, flavors exploding on the palate, this was incredible. A perfectly cooked loin with red wine and cherry reduction sauce that was spectacular. We loved everything so much we decided to order one more thing. We wanted some ravioli, and since the Chef had now earned our trust tenfold, we asked him to prepare something not on the menu, and he came up with a delicate tasting, but exquisite sauce with tomato, asparagus, which really finished off our meal in style.
For Desserts we had an apple dessert which was excellent and a pie that was also wonderful with an accompanying cream that was heaven.
Our waiter, Emanuel was very good, knew the menu, was however busy at times with helping the chef, which could be improved so we could be slightly more attended to, but in the setting and style of the restaurant, this was not really a bother, and we could always ask him for something.
This was a truly memorable dining experience and would go back to Monterrey just for a meal here, it is that good!

Excelente lugar!!!
La comida está deliciosa!
The place is excellent!
The service supreme!
The food, beyond of your expect tot taste!!!
Food is fine, but the prices are way above their gastronomic level and proposal.
I wouldn't pay half of what we did for the dishes we got.
Really consider stepping up.
Nos gustó muchísimo la comida, el ambiente, y el servicio. Lo interesante es subir a la área de comer. Definitivamente regresaríamos a comer aquí.
It’s a small, quiet, and even romantic place to eat. There is a wraparound staircase to get to the restaurant section. It’s a very quaint place to eat. Food was great! Will definitely go again.
We had the pleasure of being guests at a wedding rehearsal dinner. The entire experience that Sandro and his staff put together was one of the best I’ve ever experienced. The food paired with the wine was exceptional and done perfectly. The service was outstanding. And the ambiance in the private room rounded out the evening with elegance and comfort. I wish I didn’t live so far away. But when I return, this will always be on my list.
We had dinner in the private space to celebrate a wedding. It was a very intimate environment and very special. We worked with Sandro to create a menu with wine pairings. Sandro was professional, intelligent, and very passionate about making sure our experience was as going to be as good as possible.
The service was excellent, with Emily and Oscar catering to our every need. And Sandro would check in a talk about the wine paring for the specific course.
The food, even better. It's absolutely amazing. 10/10.
I would highly recommend coming here if you want a night full of conversation, excellent food and amazing wine!
Everything, the food, the service and ambiance were first class. Sandro and his team make you feel like you a part of their family. We had the privilege of meeting the chef and my only regret is that our entire party didn’t give him a longer ovation, one more worthy of this culinary experience.
No wonder it is one of Monterrey’s top three restaurants. It is a trip to Europe’s gastronomy. It is a whole different gastronomic experience. The open kitchen concept is a challenge for any Chef and Mr Fornera has mastered that art. The food is outstanding, the service unique.

The waitstaff at Indio Azteca provide very suitable service. The cuisine, specifically the cuts of meat that were ordered, is exceptionally tender and accompanied by flavorful side dishes. The establishment maintains a high level of cleanliness. It is an ideal spot to visit after work for a selection of beer, food, or snacks. The restaurant exudes an upscale Cantina atmosphere and offers delectable shared plates.
First time I went to this place was at least 15 years ago in Monterrey’s historical dowtown. I am amazed that they have kept the quality. Excellent environment, they have tv’s if you want to watch a game. Food was amazing, service as well. Good news, women are allowed at this one (back in the days this was a men only place)
Carlos O — Google review
Fairly plain atmosphere, no frills or fancy stuff. The service was ok, also nothing special. The waiter seemed to be in a bit of a mood, somewhat inattentive, but it was about 9pm and near closing, so maybe it was fatigue. Who knows. The steaks were good relative to the price. We ordered the shrimp and the two versions of the arrachera steak (fajitas; skirt steak), the regular and the "outside," and we couldn't tell the difference despite the price difference. I'm not sure if the more expensive version is worth the extra expense. They have good pork and chicken options, but we're Texan, so we opted for beef. The guacamole was fresh, and the tortillas were ok, likely not made there, no flour, just corn. We thought it'd be more pricey given its fancy location, but it's surprisingly affordable.
Overall, it's not bad but also nothing to call home about, but cheaper than other nearby steak locations. And not loud so you can converse just fine without screaming. We went there on a Monday night, but I'm not sure how loud it gets on weekends.
Excellent food, and great service.
We got chamorro, frijoles con veneno, queso fundido, ribeye, and vegetables to share.
Then taco de glorias. Delicious.
We were there to celebrate my dad's birthday and needless to stay, he loved it; as did we. A friend recommened getting the "chamorro" (pork leg) and it was over and beyond, a must try if you're planning on visiting. The baby back ribs and cheese are also amazing and a great choice. The staff were friendly and attentive at all times; however, the only reason I dropped a star was because at our arrival we left a cake for the waiter to store and bring out after we finished having dinner. My dad wasn't aware and it was meant to be a surprise which we explained and the waiter gladly agreed and took it. Nonetheless, we finished dinner and waited, until we realized he'd forgotten and to which he brought the cake and just handed it over. It was honestly a bit dissappointing considering we'd given instructions which he had agreed to. Regardless, we had a great time and would recommend.
100 year old restaurant tradition here. Good service from waiters in bow ties. Great food from these grilling experts. We had the skirt steak and octopus which were both very good. Grilled vegetables were also excellent. I am not a beet fan, but I would get the grilled versions here again. Things get going here with chips, salsa, and chiles that may knock your socks off. Plan to get some water with your dinner to douse the fire.
A good posh Cantina ambience, with really good plates to order to share. Prices are reasonable and they have a good selection of beers (Heineken Group only) and spirits (many tequilas). Good for after-business meetings during the weekdays. The piquin guacamole is awesome.
Wonderful service, drinks and food. Had a great time.
Nice place to eat. I Love the “Lomo adobado”

We came from Texas for a doctor appointment. After looking online, we gave this place a try. We came for lunch and the food was cold. The food also did not taste good, to be honest I was grossed out. Not sure how this place has some people. Never again.
25 years ago I came for the first time and found the restaurant lacking. In 25 years, they have achieved an insurmountable feat: to go from bad to insufferable.
Great buffet food, for a great price! I'd say all of the food that is traditional Mexican cuisine all tastes absolutely great and will not disappoint. However, I can not say the same about their choices of pizza and hamburger. God awful choices, and they do not look great. Overall, the place has a pleasing atmosphere and friendly waiters.
No Mexican rice, no guacamole in the buffet. But all the rest very good
No words to describe this buffet. I had great expectations on this place but it was disappointing. The food didn’t had flavor, it was dirty, the cookers were not using their PPE. The only thing that it was ok were the desserts different kind of cakes and flan.
I hope that they improve all this.
Great food, awesome experience in a beautiful city - MTY!
My sister found this in her ice cream. It is quite disgusting and a potential choking hazard for any kid. Food quality is below average..if you are just very very hungry its not too bad.
