Our first night on our short weekend getaway and we didn't want anything fancy. Luckily we found…read moreMonte's Cafe and some absolutely fantastic food! Started with chips and salsa - made on-site and they also brought us three sauces, also made on-site - a jalapeño sauce, a red sauce and a tomatillo sauce. 100% recommend-all were delicious. We decided to split our meals and ordered a chicken burrito and the shrimp quesadillas. The burrito was very tasty, with what seemed like freshly made refried beans and delicious chicken. A little too much rice for me, I would have preferred less rice and maybe some grilled onions and peppers. The shrimp quesadillas were NOT what we expected. The shell seemed almost flash fried and in addition to the shrimp it had lettuce and melted manchego cheese. It was really, REALLY good. Service was great and we weren't rushed. There were four other tables filled while we were there and three of them were speaking Spanish which made me feel like we chose the right place. Seriously, I felt like the food here was made someone who'd been cooking like this for decades. A very cool little restaurant that I cannot recommend enough! Great food, great service, and a great location. (Sorry, forgot to take pics here)

They do give a fair amt of meat, but it was tasteless and dry. Most mexican restaurants food has flavor. Very dissatisfied, food was late when arrived in this area on a Sunday.

This was our third visit to El Familiar. Today was Father's Day 2026…read more First, my daughter had made reservations for 15. They didn't hesitate. We showed up at 12:30 pm. We were seated almost immediately. The restaurant had just a few tables occupied. The restaurant was clean, quiet and our seating was spacious. We were promptly attended to. Second, we were given a Father's Day menu which was a very abbreviated version of their usual menu. Our server was quick to point out that if there was anything we wanted that was on the normal menu that we remembered, all we had to do was ask. We were delighted. We placed our drink orders. We were given plenty of time to review the menu and discuss what else we might want from the regular menu. We placed our orders. The wait for our meals was commensurate with the number of people. The food arrived piping hot. Everyone was served within minutes. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions enormous. I ordered 2 appetizers thinking they were going to be reasonable. I fed most of the table while still having enough for myself. Needless to say, to-go containers were necessary. Last, I want to say again that this was my and my wife's third visit. Each time we were served and attended to by Danna (?). I can't say enough positive things about her. She was attentive, friendly, warm, patient and very happy and helpful. She was very accepting even though I was doing my best with my high school Spanish. For my wife and me, I will ask for Danna to be our server and will be as much of a regular patron as possible. I would highly recommend El Familiar. You can't beat the ambiance, food quality and service.

The delicious part, however, is more of a gamble. The service was solid though. The Chipotle Power Ball was a clear winner: fresh, flavorful, and genuinely satisfying. It's the kind of dish that makes you feel good about what you're eating without sacrificing taste. The American Burger was the opposite experience. Based on the name, I expected a beef patty. While the menu didn't explicitly say "beef," the naming definitely implied it, so I was surprised when a chicken burger arrived instead. Unfortunately, it didn't just miss the mark on expectation, it was bland and uninspired on its own. The sweet fries were fine, but most of the other items I tried landed in that same middle ground: okay, but nothing special. If you're prioritizing health and quality ingredients over bold, crave-worthy flavor, this is a solid option. Just know that not every dish will deliver on taste, so it helps to stick with the safer bets or manage your expectations accordingly. Healthy? Absolutely. Consistently delicious? That's where it gets tricky.

My boyfriend had their chocolate PB smoothie and he said it was 3/5 as the only milk option was almond milk and the peanut butter and banana were overpowered by the chocolate protein. I ordered the buffalo chicken rice bowl. The girl working was extremely helpful as I have dietary restrictions and food sensitivities. She ensured me there would be no tomatoes or sauce on the bowl and it would be placed on the side. Maybe it's on me for not checking before we left but my sauces were not included. The chicken itself was very bland as was the rice and no utensils were included either. The inside was very clean with ample parking outside. I would maybe given them a second try if I was ever in this area again but just frustrating as the women who took my order also made it and things were not correct.

Tammy the tornado got the Bistec Tacos and I got the pollo quesadillas. Both were as good as I've ever had. Everything was super fresh. Everything made in house "that day". If we didn't live 3000 miles away we would be here at least once a week. Thank you Leo for treating us like royalty! On a side note I'd like to leave a love letter hidden here in my review. Right now I'm sitting across from the face I want to see right up until my last breath. The face of love belongs to Tammy The Tornado who I've been lucky enough to spend most of my life with. I could grow old with this woman by my side and I hope to do so but if I don't get to I want her to know how awesome she has made my life. I love you baby!
