The Res tacos were perfection. The Pirata was so good we had to order another. The Hibiscus Guava Aguq Fresca was delicious and exactly what we needed on a hot day. This taqueria is a must-visit for us in Monterrey-- and should be for you too. :)

Eating tacos almost anywhere in Mexico is like eating pizza in NYC, every taco is just super yummy…read more We tried the chicharon (crispy pork belly-tender, but crunchy), pastore (rotisserie pork-like a giant gyro, well-seasoned, juicy), gringa (cheese and beefsteak, scrumptious). Apparently this place is so famous that Adidas makes an "Orinoco" sneaker collaboration. All served with chili sauces of varying degrees of heat. Not sure what makes every taco we tried in Mexico (taco Chula CDMX !) extra delicious, but just like NYC pizza, never experienced a bad one here.

Lovely little place. Unexpectedly trendy for the location. Great service. Interesting & tasty…read moretraditional food. Must try the lamb soup (available only on weekends though). & tlayuda. & OMG! The costilla taco! Everything is Yummy!! Warms the soul! Had lunch here again. Was let down by the soup. Looks like they've changed the recipe/flavors. This time it was bland & oversalted. Tasted more like a vegetable broth with barely any mutton/sheep flavor. & had rice & chickpeas in it, that took away from the flavor even more. A really pity! The previous version was flavoursome & rich. The ribs were oversalted too. Management, please take note!

Delicious and food is natural and fantastic. Good for groups and service is fantastic.read more

These are not the best tacos in Monterrey, but they are very good and consistent, and busy! This is…read morea newer location and it is bright and airy, even when it's busy. I love the tacos with the chile de queso and chile de carne. Adding a simple corn tortilla to lightly battered stuffed pepper is perfect. Who knew? I add red salsa to the chile de carne and green to the chile de queso for a hot mouthful of delight. Their mushroom taco is very good, though sometimes they mushrooms for nopales (not my thing). And the other tacos are good to round out your order or support people who don't love the flavor explosion of the chile tacos.

La Nacional is a very nice upscale restaurant. The fine tablecloths, the impeccably dressed…read morewaiters, and the fine leather seating are all evocative of a steakhouse. But the place is also hip: we were there on a World Cup day, and there were many fans watching the game. It was festive and lively. The food is outstanding. We got the fried cauliflower, the arranchera (strip steak), the suckling pig (as tacos), and the creme brûlée flan. The steak was deliciously marbled, and cooked to perfection. It melted a bit on the tongue. The suckling pig tacos were dynamite. The meat was tender, and topped with a crispy piece of chicharron. The presentation was impeccable. The flan was also really tasty, and made for a light, sweet, and to a delicious meal.

Yo pedí chilaquiles tradicional con salsa verde, aguacate junto con rajas y elote. Mi esposo eligió chilaquiles tradicional verdes con huevo y arrachera.

When I visited, the atmosphere was fairly quiet overall. It is a bit on the pricey side, and it offers several varieties of chilaquiles. The service was friendly overall, and the food arrived without a long wait. The food was enjoyable, though not especially memorable in terms of flavor. I liked the restaurant's concept more than the food itself.
