Excellent beef tacos!
Em H.

Very good food, decent service, and even better company. If I'm back in WS, I'll probably visit again.

Classic Margarita
Mikaela B.

Just okay. This location in the Harris Teeter shopping center does, at least, have better food than the location in Clemmons in my opinion. The salsa and rice are good, which were two of my biggest qualms about the Clemmons location. Not sure why they seem to be so different. This location is a little inconvenient, as it's located in the middle of the shopping center. Guests who would require handicap parking, I'm not really sure that there is any. Just something to be aware of. I sat outside on the patio which was very nice, and dog friendly. It seemed that all the servers were kind of floating around the patio, but we went a solid 20 minutes without chips. The queso was cold by the time they came out and I would expect chips to be the first thing on the table. The drinks didn't taste like they'd been made with a syrupy artificial margarita mix, but they just weren't the best. The salsa is very fresh and delicious. The guacamole had great flavor but the texture was a little weird for me. I expect a fresh, chunky guacamole, and this one was more smooth which almost made me feel like it wasn't fresh. It reminded me of the packaged kind you purchase in the store. I still really liked the flavor, but some fresh chunky texture would help. I ordered the Quesabirria as my entree and it was REALLY good! It came with 3 tacos, double wrapped in a yummy corn tortilla. It had been griddled with the delicious consommé, and packed to the brim with tender, flavorful meat and melty cheese. The consommé was thick and hearty, it really clung to the tortilla, it was great. I love the cilantro and onions in the broth. I personally would've loved extra cilantro and onions on the tacos themselves, but I suppose I could've asked for that. I ordered a side of rice as well and they brought me fries at first. It didn't take a terribly long time for them to bring the rice after this mishap, for which I was grateful. The rice was good, but not my favorite. It could've had a little more flavor! My friend got the ACP Texano and she enjoyed it. I've definitely had some good experiences at Monte D's, but sadly I've never been just BLOWN AWAY. It's easy and quick in a pinch, but with a surplus of similar restaurants in the area, I'm not sure this one stands up against the others. I enjoy the food but there's a bit of work to be done to get to that level of great!

Lunch fajitas Texanas, bueno!
Erik S.

Solid choice for your mexican food fix on this side of town for sure! Service is always attentive, food is consistently good, and portions are generous. The restaurant itself is tucked back in the middle of the shopping center, you'll see it when you enter, but will need to park off to either the left or right side. Guests with mobility problems will probably prefer to be dropped off in front, because otherwise you've got a small walk with some hills and stairs. I typically go for lunch and get the lunch fajitas texanas. More than enough for a dinner portion really, plenty of both grilled meat and veggies, and your usual accouterments of beans, rice, salad. Everything is well season, served sizzling hot even though they don't bring out the skillet at lunch time. Solid chips and salsa. What's not to like?

Tacos de Carne Asada
Ariel F.

This place is bomb! Of course, they had great chips and salsa to start. I got carne asada tacos and they were so tasty. The meat was seasoned well and was a good portion size. They have late hours and not too crowded, we were happy we tried this place out!

We eat here often. We had dinner on Thursday as a family here. In need of some quick dinner, close to home. We had great service. The food was yummy as always. The fajita quesadilla is enormous. Everyone enjoyed their food. Chips and salsa here are always fresh. The margarita is great here. Doesn't just taste like sprite. The lunch specials are great, although we don't go for lunch often. We like the outside space they have available. We never have any issues here.

Fajitas Texans
David F.

Monte De Rey has some of the best Mexican in Winston Salem. The chips and salsa were hot and fresh. The fajitas were cooked to perfection! The fried fish with garlic sauce tasted so good! If you are looking for Mexican food this is your place! Be sure and try the flan for desert!

Free dessert snack
David Y.

I have eaten here a few times and either it used to be better, or I ordered the wrong dish, or having eaten at Domingo's in Mocksville I expect better now. Most recent visit I ordered the carnitas bonitas (or something similarly named). It was some bland, sauceless pork with onions and peppers arrayed around it like a flower. No tortillas, no jalapenos. Boring and bland. I'd like to say I will go back again to give them another chance, but with other better options around I don't now that I will.

They never have any customers ... Nice place ... Very clean. Typical Mexican food. Not sure why they don't ever do more business.

We stepped a little outside the Triad for this visit, and I'm so glad we did. From the moment we…read morewalked into Los Muelles Mexican Seafood & Grill, we felt welcomed -- not just as customers, but as guests. The restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere is warm, and the energy is just good. You can tell immediately that a lot of heart, time, and pride went into creating this space. We originally planned on getting queso and chips, but the owner recommended the seafood dip instead... and I'm thankful we listened. It was creamy, rich, and loaded with seafood. So good that at times we were literally asking each other, "Wait... what seafood is this?" -- and we didn't care because every bite was amazing. Then came the Barco El Patrón seafood boat, and whew. That thing is no joke. The presentation alone is impressive, but the flavor and portion size took it to another level. This is absolutely a shareable dish -- enough food for multiple people -- and you can tell a lot of effort goes into making it just right. My birria taquitos were hands down the best birria I've had in North Carolina. Crispy, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and cooked with care. Every bite was worth it. And let's talk about the drinks. I had a cocktail flight created by Erica, and every single one was delicious. Balanced, smooth, and full of flavor -- not overly strong, just made really well. I enjoyed all four without feeling overwhelmed, which says a lot. But honestly, what stood out the most was the hospitality. Erica and her husband were kind, attentive, and genuinely thankful that we were there. They even refused our tips, which just shows the type of people they are. You can feel the love they have for their business and their customers. This is the kind of place you're happy to support. Amazing food, great drinks, beautiful atmosphere, and people who truly care. We'll definitely be back.

We arrived about 3pm and it appeared busier than we would have expected. We were seated right away in a booth near the front, immediately provided menus and offered drinks. As we walked in, it appears they occupy three or more units with frontage in this strip mall because we saw at least two entrance doors not in use. We began to peruse the menu which is huge. We each looked for items we normally get at Mexican restaurants. We were provided chips and salsa and had to ask our server to give us more time to look at the menu. The salsa was not extremely chunky which is what I prefer and it had a very nice flavor. When our server returned, my wife chose the shrimp fajitas with a side of guacamole and I chose the Chili Colorado with double rice and no beans. Our meals arrived in a timely manner and looked great, the fajitas were sizzling and my wife thought the chunky guacamole looked great. We each enjoyed our meals but the service was just okay, it felt like we had to seek out our server. Overall it was a decent experience but nothing blew our socks off.

If you like a regular ACP, they have a great one. I've recently gotten hooked on the Pollo Chipotle and it is so yummy! We love all of the servers we have at both locations that we frequent! This is a great place to put in your regular routine of eating-out or take-out dinner options.

We had the chance to visit Ma'Luz in Clemmons (formerly Mi Pueblo) for a content creators dinner,…read moreand overall it was a really great experience. From the moment we sat down, the food just kept coming--and everything was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. We tried a variety of dishes including quesadillas, taquitos, tacos (steak, carnitas, and beef), a burrito we shared, and even a sizzling skillet that was SO good. You could tell the food wasn't just sitting--it was coming out fresh and made with care. The margaritas were definitely a highlight. They had a wide variety, and the drinks were flowing all night. I personally had a skinny margarita (recommended by our waitress), and it did not disappoint. One thing I really appreciated was them giving us a preview of their weekend brunch menu. They had pancakes, eggs, and even brunch-only refreshers for those who don't drink, which I thought was a nice touch and shows they're thinking about all types of guests. Beyond the food, it was nice hearing the story behind the restaurant and how the name Ma'Luz was inspired by family. You can tell they take pride in what they've built and their presence in the Triad. Overall, it was a great night with great food, strong drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely come back--especially to try more of the menu (and next time I'm getting a margarita flight because I missed out ).
