It was a nice experience in San Pedro Garza García. The employees were welcoming & the ambiance was nice. We wanted to try out different food & that's why we got a couple of appetizers. We also got some tacos but forgot to take a picture. My drink was a virgin drink & it tasted amazing. Only thing is that it is a bit pricey. read more

Festive, hipster, eatery/bar serving a selection of authentic dishes from all over mexico with a refined fusion flair and Instagram ready optics. The venue attracts the beautiful people from San Pedro and Monterey. Reservations highly recommended on week days, necessary on weekends. The tamarind frozen margarita is highly addictive and slides down too easily! read more

After getting done shopping in Fashion Drive, I decided to have a bite to eat. My buddy, who grew up in this upscale enclave of Monterrey, recommended this place for lunch. I made my way to restaurant row, which is called "Main Entrance." From here, I checked out the many options, and decided on La Embajada. Once I sat down, I ordered my drinks. There was a guy coming around with a cart, making custom salsa to have with chips. I asked him to make me a very spicy mix, to which he proceeded to prep well. I asked if they had filet mignon, to which the waiter initially claimed no. He went to speak with the manager, and came back saying he'll "see what he can do." The meat I got did not look like filet mignon, but it was still tasty nonetheless. The streak came with veggies on top, and with a side of Spanish rice. My meal was overall great, but I didn't like the fact that they tried passing another cut for filet mignon. Come on, folks, just be honest with me. I didn't have any booze from here, just lemonade and water. I will be back in the near future to try out their other meals and their drinks. read more

What a view! Comfortable seats, as in, I'm on a sofa right now:) The wind is blowing, which feels great, and the service is incredible! I have had the sea bass ceviche so far, which is yummy. The restaurant is connected to the mall, so I recommend most of the restaurants here. Usually I only spend around $30 American dollars or so, so I consider this very cheap. San Pedro has MANY nice places like this. The make salsa for you at your table when you arrive, and give you restaurant style tortilla chips. I decided to post as it's a very nice experience. Nice environment, good service, amazing view, and low prices. What else can you ask for? PS: Not a paid promotion, just an American guy appreciating all the beautiful women here! read more

Great food, excellent service and enjoyable atmosphere on the outdoor patio. I have been to La Embajada several times and have enjoyed every visit. read more

This place rocks! It's loud and crazy, but it is the proper vibe for a place like this. The food is all spectacular, service is awesome and friendly, it took a few minutes to get my Margarita and they apologized profusely when it was not a big deal. I had the Guacamole with roasted grasshoppers for a starter and Tacos for a main, and everything was delicious. Chips & Salsa were great as well- they serve them with pork rinds- tasty! A friend had the Grilled Octopus- WOW! I mainly came here because it was convenient to my hotel, but what an awesome choice either way! read more

I've had a number of meals here. Everything has been good - from the fish to traditional Mexican dishes. all well prepared with fresh ingredients. First time I ever had Cabrito was here - shoulder cut was awesome. They have extensive outside seating with nice views. Very popular place regardless of what night of the week it is. It's located in the San Pedro District of Monterey which is the most desirable and upscale area. Don't let the location in the mall fool you. Highly recommended place to eat if you're ever in Monterey. read more

Seven of us showed up mid week for dinner without a reservation. They wanted to seat us inside versus in the outside dining room which was full. We suggested they push together three tables in the bar area because we wanted to eat outside since it was winter back home for all of us. They obliged. I started with the black bean soup which was excellent. Creamy and delicious. I had the salmon pipian but wouldn't get it again. Two guys got the Cabritos (baby goat) and the Mexicna guy said it was the best Cabritos he ever had. One had a shrimp dish and he said it was ok. Service was ok but hectic. Our server was always reaching over me, even reaching from my right side to put something to my left. Our server's English was limited. The place was bustling and busy the whole time. I recommend sticking to local dishes here. I would eat here again but order differently. read more

Excellent food appetizers are outstanding, sat outside which made the experience even better. Table side made salsa was the best. The grilled baby corn is a must have, I had the pork shank and highly recommend. read more

We stayed at a local hotel and walked over to this nice restaurant. The atmosphere is wonderful and the view is spectacular. Maybe they were just having a rough night but the service was slow. We were a large party and they wouldn't break up our check so it took a long time for us to figure out who had what. I wasn't impressed by that. I ordered the mahi-mahi and the food was good but nothing that was so great I would need to go back again. read more

This was my favorite restaurant in Monterrey. Located in a mall, I was pretty surprised to find the freshness, quality, and coolness behind this authentic Mexican restaurant. At 3pm on a Tuesday, this place was filled all types, but mostly those escaping the office; an apparent favorite amongst the well-heeled in Monterrey. We sat inside to escape the cold, but there's ample outdoor seating along with a well-stocked bar pouring everything from beer to mixed cocktails. I love the salsas they prepared tableside and if you're not into spicy, make sure you let them know. We started with 3 cazuelas: bowls filled with meaty stews. In order of my favorites: +Barbacoa de Arrachera (steamed flank steak) +Chiicharrón en salsa verde (pork) +Artopellado (carne seca en salsa) These 3 were enough to fill up our table (and each time you wanted some of the cazuela, you would spread some into a corn or flour tortilla. Simple and divine. The black bean soup I followed it up with was perfectly sized; I loved the freshly diced avocado. For dessert, we split: +Pastel tibio de chocolate con nieve de mole (warm chocolate cake with mole ice cream). Any fan of chocolate will go nuts. The side of homemade mole ice cream was a great pairing to the warm, gooey chocolate cake. +Pan tibio de elote con nieve de palpmitas (warm cornbread, topped with a sweet sauce, and a side of popcorn ice cream). This was another winner in the dessert category. Overall, a great spot for lunch or dinner. read more

I always come back here for the Guacamole and grasshoppers, yes GRASSHOPPERS! They are absolutely fantastic, crunchy with a hint of lime and salt, a must if you go to this place, we tried the Ladrillo de Panela which is a type of cheese, it was delicious and also the chicharron of ribeye, finger-licking dish. The waiters treat you pretty nice, they are at your service all the time. I went for drinks and appetizers and I was very pleased and satisfied with everything. Atmosphere is pretty cool, if you can sit outside, the view is great! read more

Beef Chicharonnes.... That is all you need to order. Maybe a beer... Definitely the beef Chicharonnes..

This place is awesome. The food and service were amazing and the outside seating area and vibe is great for a romantic dinner to a first date or hanging with friends. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Perfectly prepared, delicious, authentic Mexican food. Our table had a variety of dishes including grasshoppers, guacamole, queso flameado, puerco guisada, tacos de pescado, blue corn quesadillas with squash blossom (flor de calabaza), micheladas and mexican pizza. Fantastic salsas made on the spot. Highly recommended to foreign travelers. Cost was very reasonable considering the quality. read more

A trendy Mexican restaurant in the mall closest to hotels in San Pedro (Monterrey's classiest suburb). It is very popular due to its drinks (I tried the Margarita Embajada and it was good, sweet and tangy), personalized salsas and location. The ambiance is trendy and it could wow a date or business partner. Nevertheless, food is not worth the expensive prices. Portions are too small and taste was pretty normal. No innovation in the main dishes. They are basically saucy meats to have in tacos. I don't mean to say it sucks, it is a decent place to have a meal and guacamole with grasshopers. What did seem worth the visit was the original take on corn bread dessert with popcorn ice cream. Only that is worth going. read more

La Embajada - Frozen Margarita was perfect! - Mexican Near Me - Monterrey, NLE

La Embajada was the only place I dined while on a 3-day work trip and staying at one of the hotels across the street. While I wouldn't exactly call it "authentic" Mexican (it seems more catered to tourists/visitors), it was pretty decent. The service was also decent, although not the best I've had. It seems as though there are no servers specifically assigned to a table, and several staff walking around taking orders, delivering food/checks, cleaning up, etc. The food was good, but not mouthwatering. Over my stay I had the guacamole, queso fundido, fried cheese, shrimp tacos, and tacos de lengua. I can't say that any of the meals were something I'd write home to mom about, but they were filling and well priced. My favorite part of the restaurant was the margaritas and cocktails, which packed a punch and didn't cost a fortune. The views are also nice-- if seated in the right place you can see the beautiful Monterrey mountains. The Latin music is also a nice touch. I only wish they had a full-service bar for solo diners like myself (makes it a little less awkward than to sit alone at a table). They do have a expansive menu, so I would probably return to try different things if I were to go back to Monterrey, but for now I can't say that its a "must try" kind of place. read more

This place is amazing! The menu is very big and can be kind of intimidating but everything I've tasted is on point. Waiters are very nice and they have a couple of girls that specialize in making hot salsas based on what you want and what you order. They make the salsa from scratch. The restaurant itself is beautiful- very well decorated! On my last visit, I ordered the fish tacos (off of the appetizer menu) and they are by far the best fish tacos I've had! Wine was very good- they have a good selection of wine and alcoholic drinks. I wouldn't call this place a truly authentic Mexican restaurant since it caters to tourist but very good nonetheless. Prices and portions are reasonable! Definitely a place to take people from out of town to have a solid Mexican experience. read more

Nice place for Mexican food from the North region. Due to high demand, it can be really crowded at night. Try tacos embajada, or "barbachera" for appetizers. For entrees order steak read more

Great food and atmosphere! The balcony is really nice. I have tacos and some type of cheese appetizers! Delicious!

This is a very disappointing place. The food is good but the service is terrible. There are 15 people serving and the dishes came out late. They brought something I didn't order twice. Unbelievable that they can screw it up with that many people serving. Not coming back. Avoid this place. read more

Nice and informal place to have an excellent Mexican food. Good and quick service. Drinks are well served!

You cannot go wrong with a salsa made table-side for $2.50. This place was awesome. Unique interior, great service, my husband had the mushroom pizza, I had the skirt steak. Both were delicious.
