The staff are always soo friendly! The food is very good every time I've been. My margarita was delicious also!

Food was so bland and the shredded chicken was very dry. Staff is very nice though. We had 1 good experience of the 5 times we've been there. We will not be back again. read more

We made an order online and drove 15 minutes to pick it up, only to get home and realize that only half our order was there. Our fajitas, the most expensive thing was missing and we had a quart of soup instead. We called and they required us to drive back to the restaurant to pick up the missing food, refusing to deliver - though it's offered. When my husband arrived l, he asked how they were going to make it right, they said, "it's fresh made." I would expect it to be!! We missed having dinner with our family because of their mistake, but their refusal to acknowledge it by not offering something for our trouble means we're not going back. A free dessert or discount for having to make the drive twice would have sufficed. Aside from that, the food was ok but nothing San Andres couldn't do better. read more

Average at best...if you want a Texas Margherita...ask for tequila in it...mine was 100% mixer...I will not return

I bought lunch here about a week ago, but I have visited this restaurant since it first opened. It has been consistently good. The service quick, but not always friendly, with reasonable prices. The ambience is that of a busy Mexican restaurant with no frills. I think they do best with some of the traditional Mexican dishes, rather than Tex-mex or Ameri-mex food. read more

We came in on a Thursday night based on the great reviews. We were quickly greeted and seated in a booth. Our server came over immediately and brought a chair since there were five of us, and he thought that might be more comfortable. We all ordered different kinds of margaritas and thoroughly enjoyed them. The place was very busy and it looked like there was a decent bar crowd also. In spite of how busy they were our food came out very quickly. I had a chicken dish with spinach and mushrooms on it and it was very tasty. Everyone at the table enjoyed what they ordered. I would definitely come back again. Great service and the food came out quickly and was tasty. Excellent margaritas. What more could you want? read more

Cocina Fuentes - a close up of a drink - Mexican Near Me - Monroe, Georgia

Always ready to seat you, always swift service. The food is just right. Not gourmet but pretty great and just what you need when you have the itch for Mexican. Best Mex in Monroe. The combo fajitas--chicken, steak, shrimp--is reasonably priced, tasty, and hard to finish. read more

Love trying places I haven't been to before. My visit here didn't start well. Upon entering, there's a sign that says they just started a 4% fee for card transactions. I hate when businesses do that. We decided to give the place a try anyway. Drinks were blah. Service was pretty good, though. Food was better. It's worth returning to if they remove the card fee. Otherwise they will probably be losing customers. read more

Today was my first time eating at this Mexican restaurant and the food was very tasty and seasoned well. I was shocked because I had eaten at a lot of other Mexican places where the food was bland with no taste. I ordered the beef enchilada just to see if the food was good A++ I most definitely will be back soon. read more

Very friendly and good food overall. This place gets VERY busy on Friday and Saturday nights, but they usually seat you quickly.

This place used to be our favorite and has unfortunately really gone downhill. They are charging the same price for frozen ingredients that used to be fresh to cut corners. We decided to try them again for a takeout order and ordered a huge family order only to be told when we arrived to pick it up that the manager refused to make a chimichanga with beans or veggies so none of the order had been prepared. What? We have had this here many times before and enjoyed it. I guess they don't need our business anymore even though we tried to hang with the leas quality ingredients to get them through Covid. read more

They have shrunken the portions and I received a $5 cc fee on my bill and I paid cash. No more!! This is nonsense and I won't give this place my money anymore. read more

Came in for lunch while visiting family in the area. Great, friendly service. Good house margarita. Great Choripollo and good chips and salsa. I would definitely come here again! read more

Cocina Fuentes - Choripollo! Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Monroe, Georgia

Just moved here from Alpharetta and we were very impressed. You can tell it's a local favorite and the staff did a good job. Even though they were busy with the church crowd the food was quick and delicious. It's a star Mexican place for the area and you can tell from their high ratings. read more

We are out in the area attending to business and decided to stop for lunch. This was our first visit. Great food with variety of vegetarian options. Server was awesome. read more

We love the service and the food, always so good and rarely ever have enough to take home. They were also really great for pick up orders. Fun place and great food. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped in on our way home from Athens. So glad we did. The food was delicious, our waitress was awesome, and we'll be back next time we coke through town. I ordered the peach margarita which didn't have a lot of flavor. Next time I would try strawberry. We got a combination plate with enchilada, chile relleno, and a burrito, half order of nacho supreme, and chimichanga. It came out hot and quick. The chips and salsa were very good too! read more

Nice people... the food is rough.... I mean, almost non edible, dry meat, over cooked taco shells, commercial style flour tortillas, watery cheese dip... prices reflect a nice experience, food reflects a high school cafeteria. Sorry, not sorry. read more

The food was just ok. My daughter's food looked over done. The staff didn't seem friendly at all. My husband was ignored by the waiter on more than one occasion. The hostess seemed annoyed because we asked if we could sit at an empty booth. We won't be going back. First impression is everything. read more

Mi Primo's place! Still Monroe's #1 resturant. Im not sure how they stay so consistant. Each time is a wonderful experiance. I will warn you, this place is popular! There is limited parking and there is usually a wait. Please try it you will not be disappointed best American/Mexican style resturant in the Metro Area. read more

Delicious food. Whether you order it togo or eat in, it is just good quality Mexican. Service is fast and the restaurant has plenty of room to sit. read more

Cocina Fuentes is the best! Everything is always fresh and tastes delicious! You won't be disappointed when you eat here! If there is a wait it's always worth it, but it's honestly not too long! Tacos Fuentes is my absolute favorite but their flautas are good and their AC Texas is great, too! You honestly won't be disappointed! read more

We tried this place on a Friday around 4pm before the rush. The good: THE FOOD! Delicious! Liked the presentation, too - festive. Service was attentive enough without being intrusive. Huge plates - you'll have plenty to take home after. I ordered the Tacos Fuentes - I'm a steak taco lover, and these were extra good! Yay! Loved the fresh sliced avocado on top and the particular shredded white cheese they used. We liked the cilantro-laden salsa as well as the regular guac. Chips are hearty enough to hold everything. I got a jumbo frozen strawberry margarita and it was perfect. The Grilled Seafood Special my husband ordered was wonderful. Everything was tasty. We'll definitely be back when we're in Monroe. The neutral: Place is very casual. Lots of families were coming in with small children. The dining room isn't huge so I imagine it probably packs out quickly. The not-so-good: First booth I went to sit in had a big blob of food on the seat. Maybe it was a fluke because we found a clean booth next to it. Ladies, the bathroom was pretty dirty, so go before you come. Also smelled overwhelmingly of dirty diapers. Yuck! read more

Sad, I would have given this place one more star, but the customer service was awful, I moved here from LA and expected to leave bad attitudes there, I was hoping for friendly, and even though I'm Latin American and spoke to them in spanish. I received yes yes yes and one worded answers. Almost like it was a bother to be served, and the girl at the hostess stand had to be new, she had no answers to basic questions we asked, and instead of verifying she just shrugged. Sad because the food wasn't terrible, although it was watery, I have no clue why. Shrugs. Ehh we'll just go elsewhere next time. read more

I have been to Fuentes way to many times to count and I honestly enjoyed the place before but lately every time I go it gets worse. This time I went in around 4:30- 5pm to get a to go order for me and my family. The place was steady but not overcrowded. The girl that took my order told me it would be about 10 mins and I was actually glad because I was really hungry. I ended up waiting 30 mins but I was glad to finally have my food so I left. I get home and start checking the food and some of it is missing even though it was on my ticket. Bummer! I admit most of their food is good and that tres leches cake is awesome but some of their other food isn't all that great either. Their rice is very poorly made. It's always either chewy almost plastic like or it's either so over cooked and dry that it looks like it was cooked a week prior. Worst part of my whole experience is I found some small pieces of what looked like a taco in my bag of chips! Ahhh gross ( I think they are recycling uneaten chips) I was disgusted after that. read more

Can I give this place ZERO STARS? First off we waited to be greeted for 10 minutes While many employees walked by. The chips were stale, the cheese dip was watery and runny. Our waiter barely understood English which resulted in many mishaps when our food arrived to the table. Adult food came out first and the kids food came out 10 mins later. Kids steak was absolutely disgusting. I wouldn't feed it to my dog. Also if you ask for a side of avocado they charge you $5. Crazy. Our waiter was incredibly rude. My oldest son got a quesadilla which came with a side of guacamole salad (lettuce, tomato and guacamole) we asked the server for lettuce only. No guac and no tomatoes. They still brought the entire salad. My son is allergic to tomatoes. So we asked for the lettuce that we originally asked for, and they charge us for it. For THEIR ERROR. By far the worst Mexican restaurant I've ever been to and I'm an avid Mexican lover. NEVER AGAIN! Worst spot ever. Oh and the waiter complained to his co workers and we were given dirty looks the remainder of our visit. Please save your money. It's not worth the money for terrible service and less than impressive food. read more

Service is always great and the food is good. We always have a pleasant experience when coming here

Best mexican in Monroe Ga! They're fast and polite, their food is good and their takeout is also very quick! They're the kind of restaurant that's really got their ish together! read more

I was very disappointed with the way this restaurant was not handling social distancing! What an uncomfortable meal! I pointed it out to the waiter and he just looked at me with no response then the local idiots gathered up for a birthday party had to start commenting saying I was weird! No you are the disrespectful weirdo and i said so loud enough so tgey voild hear me! You know im not a Biden supporter at all but I hope he absolutely makes it mandatory to social distance and wear mask! If people cant just be responsible and respectful to do it on their own then hey! I couldn't enjoy my meal the way I should've been able to because of disrespectful people! I blame the restaurant! This is the first restaurant iv been into that did not have the appropriate social distances between tableas! I do not appreciate my health being put in danger like that! Oh and before anyone comment I shoukd stay home .... DONT BECAUSE I HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO OUT AND EAT SAFELY! read more

I arrived and seated promptly. Got my chips and salsa then a drink. Placed my order. Two groups came in 5 mins after me and were seated close by. They ordered then got their food before me. A couple minutes later my meal arrives. I ordered Pollo Chipotle. The chicken was hot and tasty. The rice, beans and tortillas were cold which signals it had been sitting back in the kitchen. Told the waitress, who asked if I wanted it replaced or a new meal which I declined. Went to cashier. Two women were there. They asked how my meal was. I told them it was unsatisfactory and explained why. They said "they have no control over that" Didn't ask if I wanted to talk to a manager. Won't go back! read more

This place is just consistently good and easy. If it's slow you can always look around and figure out why (there is only so many people you can feed at one time!) but even their slow is pretty good. Delicious food with some amazing off menu authentic dishes you can ask for and fresh ingredients. Definitely one of my favorite "go to" places. Good service. I hate paying at a register anywhere but I guess it seeds things up in this busy place and their staff is friendly and good. read more

Everything is good for a Tex-Mex restaurant but for real Mexican restaurant is not good. The rice needs to more flavor and also the beans.

Our third visit to this restaurant, all three visits everyone at the table enjoy the food. Nice variety not your usual "Combo #3" Mexican restaurant. The only problem is substandard service, waiters are slow to respond to requests and do not check back with table. Last visit we ordered Fajitas for two, I had to get up from the table and ask for the tortillas that were not delivered as well as plates. The six year old's food wasn't delivered with every other order and because heather waiter didn't check back we had to get up and find him again and his response was "you have to get up and find me if something is wrong, I will see if I can get her something to eat". I would love for this place to succeed, hopefully they can put a training plan into place. read more
