**This is a 3.5 star rating.**…read more The food and service here are good, while the atmosphere is excellent. We came here with friends on a Thursday night. The place was busy but not overly crowded. Chips and salsas were brought to the table immediately, and our server didn't rush us to order. Though I'm typically a bean and cheese nacho guy, the chicken and beef fajita nachos here were delicious and, believe it or not, they didn't seem heavy. They keep the Pozole Verde traditional here, with some cilantro on the side. Though I didn't try it, our friend said it was delicious. I had my eyes on the Cecina Plate, which is a classic dish from Mexico of very thinly sliced beef that has been air-dried (sort of like jerky) and then cooked, sliced and served to go on a tortilla, along with some grilled queso fresco and avocado. The flavor was good, but the meat itself was a little on the tough side. (Authentic Mexican cecina is supposed to be juicy and very tender -- almost soft.) Still I enjoyed it, as I did the refried beans, which weren't overloaded with lard like so many other versions out there. I only wish that the plate had come with the salsa macha as advertised. I asked our server about it, and he said "They're warming it in the kitchen, and it'll be right out." It never arrived. Speaking of salsa, if you are one of the three people who read my reviews, you know that I'm a salsa snob. Rule #1 -- no cumin. Rule #2 -- salsa is better when it is served cold. These folks abided by my first rule, but they serve the salsa warm here. It's a roasted salsa and was actually quite flavorful, but it would be so much better served cold. The green salsa here has wonderful jalapeno flavor and plenty of bite. This place definitely knows how to create salsa. Bottom Line: I plan on returning. I glanced at some traditional Tex-Mex platters as I was walking through the place, and they looked divine. I'm looking forward to trying them.

I love the addition of the large watermelon slice which makes the drink pretty as well as functional. Our server, Julian, provided excellent service where we did not want for a thing! Naturally the restaurant itself with the beautifully done lighting fixtures in the main dining area as well as the bar area are simply gorgeous.

Not sure if there's new management or what has changed. Today was the final straw. My wife and I came in for lunch on Memorial Day shortly after they opened. The restaurant wasn't busy and there were plenty of servers working. We were brought chips and then completely forgotten about. We sat there for 15-20 minutes waiting for someone to come back and even take our drink order. Nothing. What made it worse was watching multiple servers walk right past us without ever making eye contact or checking on us. We finally got up, moved to the bar, and ordered our food there instead. We did let the hostess know about our experience, but no manager or staff member ever came over to apologize or even acknowledge the situation. Really disappointing considering how long we've supported this place.

They have a vision to bring back the original Monterrey House (you know like when it first started to the 80's). Plenty of comfortable seating, booths & tables, clean restrooms, small bar area with booths. Billy was our server and took good care of us! I would recommend Billy any day. He also serves during the day at Gator's so if you see him there, snag him if you can! Chips & salsa were good. Thin crispy chips that didn't break under the weight of the scoops of Salsa. I preferred the red salsa. Margaritas: house frozen for $5, add grand marnier for $2.50. Was just fine & would order it again. Entrees: It was cold outside and the chicken tortilla soup sounded perfect like the contrast to my frozen marg. You can add sour cream at no additional cost to the soup. She ordered nachos classic with beans, cheese, jalapeños only. They were okay. I like that they are trying to go back to the original Monterey House.

It's a bit of a dive, but the food is exceptional. I am thinking that next time I get back down to Dickinson, the good folks at La Frontera may be serving me meals every day throughout my stay. Oh, in addition to the chili relleno, I recommend both the queso and guac as appetizers. And the horchata (beverage) is outstanding.
