    Chips and Salsa
    Kara M.

    We walked right in on a Thursday around 5:30pm and were seated immediately -- we had the whole place to ourselves for most of the meal. The food was tasty overall, but I did feel it was a bit overpriced for what we got. The chips and salsa appetizer was fresh and flavorful, but the portion was surprisingly small -- definitely not enough for two people to snack on. The al pastor was good but really nothing special. The real star of the show was the land and sea sushi! This was an interesting combination but the flavors worked well together! I can't remember the cocktail I had but that's probably because it was pretty forgetable. Thankfully, our server made up for it: super friendly, attentive, and on top of everything the whole time. La Montana definitely has promise, but it fell a bit short for me this time.

    Dinner was good but we enjoyed the tapas more. Cocktails were good, I can't remember the names but the coconut and mango is a great mix. They have really good music in Spanish. The service was good.

    Great find just around the corner from the Hampton Inn and a show at Cat's Cradle. The menu is unique and the food is one of a kind. The shrimp burrito was outstanding with a hint of Asian sauce, and my wife had an amazing sea bass and puréed cauliflower. I had the house margarita and it was perfectly made. The chef came out and spoke to us to make sure we liked it.

    Wowwy wow! Not only is the interior of this establishment stunning, but so is the food! Perfect for a date night, La Montana creates a beautiful, intimate space to enjoy the Asian-Hispanic fusion food. I'm a huge fan of whoever chooses the music or is the DJ because great music & great food help create a memorable experience. Our server was very sweet and gave helpful suggestions. She told us the seasonal dishes and made it easy for us to decide on our meals. We chose to start with the ceviche (which came with substantial amounts of shrimp and octopus, thanks Chef!) and two cocktails: Guiding Light and Sunrise. We ordered the Molcajete and the Quesabirria as our entrées and holy cow!! Not only were they also substantial portions, but the flavor?! The salsa verde! The birria sauce! The juicy chicken and steak! The barbacoa! All super delicious! We ended with the tres leche cake and could not have chosen a better dessert. So moist and sweet! The perfect ending to an amazing meal. The only critique I would have is that there wasn't really much Asian-fusion going on on the menu. Almost all of the dishes were mostly Hispanic-based, with small bits of Asian flavor (e.g. adian tacos). But otherwise, it was an amazing experience and we'll be back the next time we're in the area! 9/10 - please add more Asian dishes and desserts to menu!!

    Want a beautiful & chic spot for date night or a night out with friends, come to La Montaña! This recently opened and when I tell you, the vibes are grown and sexy! The service was top tier and the staff pays great attention to you and your needs. We opted for their tequila flights, but we will definitely be back to try out their cocktails. Chose the La Familia tequila flight because I don't care much for Mezcal which was part of the other flights. Great way to start our night. The food was full of flavor, presentation was beautiful, & the head Chef/owner came out to speak to everyone in the restaurant. He was very pleasant to talk to & was very welcoming. We will be back to try more tequila & try other dishes!

    Felt like eating sushi today and looked up something close. I made the 15 minute walk to this place and it was worth it. (Didn't feel like driving) The dumplings had a different and tasty flavor. I loved it. I ordered the crunchy diablo and also didn't disappoint:) as for drinks I really liked La Clasica. Best part of it all was the service. One of the owners was who checked me in and pretty much took care of me since they were short staffed. I absolutely love her vibe. She created such a chill and positive experience. I'm one who will sit at the bar in a heart beat which I did and I'm glad I did.

    Excited to finally try out La Montana, a new Latin-Asian fusion restaurant recently joining Carrboro food scene. The atmosphere was undeniably my highlight of the experience. We were surrounded by an eclectic fusion of bamboo walls, bold colors, and artistic patterns that create a visually stunning setting.The staffs were friendly and warm; they were happy to offer recommendations and were open to feedback. I considered the food "elevated" dishes with a very strong focus on presentation. Every plate and drinks were certainly crafted to appeal to the eyes, which was lovely for a date night. All dishes we got had a stronger emphasis on Latin flavors (80%) than Asian (20%). A part of me was hoping to explore new flavor profiles; but here at La Montana nothing was as adventurous as I had hoped. Nevertheless, everything was objectively tasty and very enjoyable! Overall, it's a much welcomed addition for the area and we look forward to returning and trying out their brunch one day!

    We were super excited to try this restaurant and drove 40 minutes to get here. Very cute vibe and menu looked really good. They will have to work on the service. Wait staff were very nice but it took 40 minutes to get a cocktail and no food order was taken during that time. We finally left to dine elsewhere since it was 8:00 PM. The bartender/host did bring us complimentary guacamole due to our wait but we were already headed out the door

    The customer service was so excellent since the beginning! Stephanie and Amy made sure I felt welcomed and explained everything with great detail. You need to try their sushi! I had also the Paloma drinks. They're smoky and delicious. I didn't know you could smoke with sage! What a touch. I will definitely come back with my loved ones!

    We were so excited to try this place to celebrate our anniversary! We love specialty cocktails and had made the reservation for the cocktails more than the food. Even planned for Ubers so we could enjoy a couple drinks. Unfortunately, the service was less than ideal. We had a 6:45 reservation. Sat down took 10 min for server to come. Didnt have QR code on the table so she went to get it and that took 5 minutes. In the meantime we had already looked the menu up. We ordered drinks and food at once. We got our first tapa at 7:35. No silverware. We asked for some and never got it. My husband's cocktail finally arrived around 7:50. The rest of the food came around 8. We again asked for silverware and got it after our food was delivered. By this time I STILL hadn't gotten my first cocktail. At 8:25 we were finished eating, no cocktail still. I asked for my check at this point and they brought the cocktail at 8:35. Then we asked for the check and it took 20 minutes to bring it. The food was really tasty but the service was horrible. They had one bartender working the entire restaurant, on a Friday night. The service turned me off so much that I hesitate to ever try it again. Additionally, I felt the portions were really small compared to the price. I will say our server was incredibly sweet! It was absolutely not her fault at all and it is clear that they didn't schedule or have enough people working. She was doing her best to manage the tables. She was extremely kind and apologetic and gave me a glass of champagne to make up the wait.

    Beautiful cocktails

    Food was fantastic. Out favorites were the Al Pastor, Firecracker Shrimp and the Edamame guacamole. Bartender/Server was great (we chose to eat at the bar). And the chef/owner stopped by to chat with us for a while. The ambience is really beautiful. Definitely will be back to try some of the other dishes

    The entire restaurant gives you a friendly welcoming vibe!! The service is exceptional and very personable. The servers are very attentive to your needs and answer, thoroughly, any questions you have as well as give recommendations. I had the privilege to speak with the owner. He is very friendly and you can the restaurant and the customers are his passion. The food is homemade and beyond delicious!! I highly recommend enjoying an evening at this estab

I got the two empanadas with aside and was able to try both the chicken and the pork. I think I liked the chicken a little bit more, but both of them were very good and the plantains were also very good. Not overly sweet, but also not super dry. I will say the parking is kind of annoying without parking space directly nearby. Had to park in the parking garage across the street. The server was very nice and mindful of waters and when we needed things. I will say almost $20 for a regular dish seemed very expensive but the food was pretty good so I would probably come back - just for the cheaper empanadas as they were pretty filling as it was. The one thing that kind of threw me off was how they set the table with their water cups upside down, touching the table. I wouldn't say that I'm a clean freak, but also that seems kind of gross to me because that's where my mouth is going to be... I'd probably do something different there myself. This definitely is more of a Chapel Hill / Carrboro money type of dining experience $$ but I'd be back on nicer occasions. The pastry on the empanadas were very good. Really liked the yuca Frits as well

The place is quite small, with about five tables, and maybe 12 seats at the bar. We sat at the bar as we only wanted drinks and snack. Christian, the bartender, greeted us right away and brought food and drink menus. He explained the specials and took our drink orders. My companion found an interesting Greek white wine, and I asked for a boulevardier, my go-to cocktail for a new place. The wine was to her liking, and the cocktail was about the best example I've had in recent memory. Christian used Woodford Reserve bourbon and Campari rather than Aperol so it had a slightly less bitter taste and was a lovely auburn color. The food menu was very interesting, with lots of items we've never tried. We ordered caesar salad with anchovies, green beans in garlic-soup sauce, panella (a chick-pea and cream cheese dish), and seasoned French fries. It was all yummy and delivered together. The service we got really couldn't have been much better: attentive without hovering. The food and drink quality was outstanding, and we thought the prices were very reasonable for what we got. In short, thanks Christian, and we'll be back.
