    Shrimp pasta
    Rodion D.

    Still the top Italian choice in Apodaca! Like to have dinner there! Everything regardless the rash hour, was served in time at the latest visit. Personnel were kind and friendly as usual.

    Pizza with italian ham

    By far one of my favorite restaurants in Monterrey Mexico, best pizza I've ever eaten, the staff is amazing and the pasta dishes are superior. I've had salad, pasta and pizza on my few visits here and the waiter is very very good at recommending dishes as well as wine! I crave for this place when I'm back home in the US. Can't wait to go back!!! The building is beautiful inside and out!

    So good - apple salad with goat cheese - delicious.

    Wow! What a find and what a nice break from beef and tacos!!! Not that I hate beef...or tacos...in fact I LOvE tacos! That said, I just can't eat them 4 days in a row!! ;). This little gem was top shelf from the moment we parked all the way through dinner! Service was nothing shy of perfect and the food options are huge! Again, I can't emphasize enough how refreshing it was to find this place. The food was prepared spot on, fresh And Delicious! Well done!!! Enjoy.

    Nice restaurant with good food. The building is wonderful and not far away from the hotel.

    Octopus carpaccio is delicately tasty.
    Jyrki P.

    High-quality dishes, yet relatively decently priced. The tomato, pesto and self-made mozzarella cheese salad is simplistic, natural and tasty. The thin-sliced octopus carpaccio is delicate, elegant starter while the seared tuna fish is tender and juicy. Worth visiting, near airport of Monterrey.

    Main dining area.

    I had the cream of tomato soup (served in a small bread bowl) as a starter, the picanha (medium) - which was phenomenal - and the house red wine. Excellent atmosphere, great staff. Definitely on the list to re-visit!

    Raghu bolognese.

    Excellent Italian in the middle of Mexico. Every aspect of this meal was awesome! Highly recommended if you are in Monterrey.

    So my mother is a huge fan of Cabrito, they kept telling her to try this place since we always have…read moreour normal one that we go to here in Monterey Mexico. So we decided to give us one to go. The inside is so cool. It's definitely a vibe. The waiters and waitresses are so nice. They got a seated right away and our waiter knew what to recommend and was just so nice very attentive the whole time. So you start off with complementary chips and salsa, which was great. I ordered a gin with red fruits and club soda in it, which was very refreshing and they balanced it really well. For food I got the Mollejas plate which is one of my favorites I asked for an extra crispy and they definitely listened, and it was delicious. My aunt got the machitos and she said it was delicious. It was not up to my pallet. It was too wild for me but for the people that like that stuff it is definitely up your alley and my aunt said this was some of the best ones that she's had. My mother got the cabrito paleta and I was always skeptical on Cabrito but I have to say it was really good and not wild at all. I would definitely get some again when I go back to Mexico. It also came with complementary Charo beans and they were delicious. And really nice. They comped us some frijoles con veneno and they tasted so good. I would've never ever thought to order those. At the end, they bring you a huge tray of desserts to choose from and of course I went straight for the Guayaba cheesecake. It's my favorite dessert to eat when I'm there in Mexico. It was divine. So this place definitely lives up to its standards. It is really cool to see. Definitely added to your list when you're visiting out here.

    Lot of the travel shows listed this spot as the place to pick up cabrito so we had to go here. It…read morelooks very touristy and is a short walk from the Macroplaza. The food including the cabrito however was listless and we would have been better off if we skipped it.

Then we had the opportunity to share the Coliflor al Grill (which is also fried by the way!), Salmon al Chipotle Balsámico, and for dessert the Pan de Elote with Glorias ice cream. Everything was super tasty from start to finish. The servers keep an eye on you and make sure to take empty plates off the table refill your drinks and offer you more things as soon as you're done. The restaurant is located in a nice plaza where other restaurants are also located. Convenient parking on lower levels.

Upon making our reservation we were not informed there would be a time limit for our dinner. Nevertheless, upon arrival we were told we only had 2 hours at our table since they would use it. And sure enough two hours later we were asked to leave even though we were still ordering drinks. It was not as if we were just loitering without paying. Really rude in our opinion. Then there was the food. If I had to describe it in one word it would be: uneventful. We tried the chicharron de rib-eye and another steak as well as three sides. The quality of the meat was lacking and not well cooked. The sides were bland. It might be the fact that I had such high expectations that I found this place a disappointment. Drinks were nothing out of the ordinary. In general, overpriced for what it is. Apparently the place doubles as a night club.Perhaps if you only go for drinks or at times where there's music it might be different. But if you are looking for exceptional food, it's best to stick with La Nacional. If you want to splurge best to do it in style and with great quality.
