My favorite sit down restaurant I've been to in Montemorelos. The three other times I've been here…read morewere excellent experiences from drinks to appetizers to entrees to desserts. They have limited indoor seating and a ton of outdoor seating, but usually not too busy on a weekday night. Had a bit of a mixed experience on food this time around - Chamorro De Cantina - their house special pork shank. Meat falls off the bone. Guacamole a la Mexicana - can't go wrong with guac Paella Valenciana - house special paella - I liked the flavor but the seafood was a bit overcooked Rib Eye - a nicely seasoned steak on a bed of green bell peppers and onions with well done thick cut fries. Nothing special but it's a solid dish. Enchiladas Suizas - thought this was ok. I just tried half of one and it was quite doughy.

This unassuming bistro is one of the best surprises I've experienced while traveling for business…read morein Montemorelos. The service is impeccable, kind, and the restaurant is cozy, being located in the owners' home's backyard. Apparently, backyards were always built larger than the home itself so that families could often get together and eat, play, and hang out together in the comfort of their own space. This restaurant has literally opened up their backyard/home space to serve the best seafood tacos I have ever eaten. Coming from California and having done my fair share of traveling throughout the US including Texas, NY, SoCal, Arizona, Illinois, and internationally, this place takes the cake with its tacos. Since everything is made from scratch, it does take a while so don't expect to grab and go, this place is made for a relaxing lunch away from it all. You'll be surrounded by trees and greenery. The furniture isn't the sturdiest, but you'll be dining on some of the freshest, tastiest food in Mexico under the shade of avocado and palm trees. We got quite a few items last time we went, but I still dream of the food here. Their corn tortillas are made of heaven - they're perfectly tender, a surprising amount of flavor considering they're corn tortillas, and don't fall apart like so many other corn tortillas do when you use them as carriers of deliciousness. Their toppings are SO simple, literally just the freshest of salsa, a slice of avocado, and their own homemade green sauce. The protein itself, I can't even describe. The stars are the fish tacos and the pulpo (octopus) tacos - they're both made to perfection. And the combination of all the flavors are insanely delicious. They come three tacos in an order and while you might not think that'll be enough, it is, they're huge and they're filling. If you're in the area looking for some local, fresh food, this is your ticket to heaven!

I have eaten here many times as I typically stay next door at the Double Tree. Reading some other…read morereviews I would agree service improves substantially when it's busy, but it's not terrible to begin with. I love the Pacifica Cerviche - it has squid, shrimp, cucumber and the flavor is robust and delicious. It can be expensive to eat and drink here by local standards but overall is consistently good. I will return for sure.

Outstanding! Mic drop…read more The shrimp stuffed with cheese for an app was outstanding including the fun presentation and sweet sauce. Didn't have the burrata because I don't care for truffle but it got devoured by the table. Beef carpaccio was also super excellent although not pictured. I split a pizza and salad with a friend and it was great. Pizza was just the right amount of cheese and salt in a fun shape. The apple and pear salad was great. Salmon and ribeye were also cooked perfectly. Then top it off with the best Apple strudel. Warm and melty, cannot say enough good things. Great service in both English and Spanish. Will definitely be back!

This may not be fresh per se, but they really bring out the flavor for those of us who love fish in all forms - and bury it for those who don't. For meal one we had: me stuffed shrimp; her the pescado frito (the one with the cute little head and teeth). For meal two it was me: crema de camaron and a taco gobernador; her the grilled fish. Both times we had the avocado salsa and every last thing was great. Our drinks were mediocre the first night, but on visit #2 we had some bomb cocktails (hers was Jamaica-based;'mine was Gin with blueberry juice ). Service and ambiance are cool. This is a chain so we can't speak of the other locations, but this one was great for couples and big groups alike. Make a reservation if you're dining on the weekend!

The place was huge and it was jam packed. We were promptly seated too. The two salsas and chips had no flavor to them. The one we thought was queso was actually some kind of mayo dip, not even a tartar sauce. It tasted just horrible. My hubs ordered grilled shrimp and they came with an over powering red seasoning powder. They were generous in portion, very generous actually, but not as good as a grilled shrimp he was expecting. One in the party ordered a shrimp w/cheese sauce and pasta, but not an Alfredo sauce. Now, that was great. I had a bit of her dish. Another ordered ceviche, but said it had too much onion on it for her taste and her Mom took it home with her to have for lunch the next day. The cousin who recommended this place ordered bacon wrapped jalapeno with cream cheese. Really really good, crispy bacon and none of the cream cheese had fried out! Lastly, my order. Fried Tilapia. It has been three days now and I am still not feeling well. As soon as I tasted it, I knew it was off and should have known better. I suggest anybody who goes to ask the wait staff what is most popular. It may be the best option.

For a solid, healthy lunch, I enjoy their daily catch (check market price and fish) or tilapia. I usually get it grilled or zarandeado for some more flavor. It's easy to add on rice (white or saffron) and vegetables which you can have steamed or zarandeado, as well. Shrimp in its many forms (al ajillo, zarandeado, a la diabla, grilled) is also great here. The shrimp dishes come with saffron rice and nopales, but you can switch to vegetables easily. Their ceviche tostada is good as is their shrimp aguachile. Table service will include tostadas with a couple of salsas, and they'll provide more if you ask or have a long wait. Sometimes they'll start everyone off with a shooter of shrimp or fish soup. The broth is richly flavored, and the cup is often ridged with tajin which makes for a delicious starter. There is a lot of seating here, and there is a patio out back. I see a lot of business lunches here, and they sometimes have larger groups. There is a good amount of parking here, too.
