Monterrey Mexican Restaurant - Best guacamole in town - Mexican Near Me - Jonesboro, Georgia

The food and service is always excellent. Never too long of a wait to be seated at busy times. The food arrives at the table hot and fresh.

Great experience every time I go! Food is usually sent out super fast where you can eat in for lunch and food is good! Love how big the portions are and staff is always super nice and accurate! Sometimes little loud in there with music, but not where you can't hear and talk. Prices are so cheap too, would recommend trying! read more

Good food . Good service . Very convenient and welcoming . I'm grateful for them being there .

I use to Love this place, even with the long wait times for a seat, I and my family would wait, but today I decided to order Togo... I make my order I give them my Military ID being that they HONOR military with a 10% discount BUT today they was on some BS the cashier says to me no manager is in today, NO Discount I looked at him with the side eye, I Watched 2 more ppl come in order after me and their food before me, I said give me my receipt please because he hadn't gave me a receipt yet... now I'm getting upset he handed me my receipt and I noticed a charge for PICKING UP my order. So I said so if I dine in you don't charge a gratuity charge he said NO.. I made up my mind only To wait 5 more minutes and then I'm going to ask for my money back.... BEWARE please pay attention to your receipt.(I was charged.25 cents just by me coming inside to get my order) And by the way the food was cold I believe they had my order just sitting back there and forgot about my order Service was horrible. I couldn't proceed with the review without giving a star read more

The location seemed a little questionable but the food was very good. I had the stuffed poblano and really liked it. The bathroom was very clean also, which always makes me feel better about a restaurant! read more

Delicious Mexican food and good service! It was a bit noisy the night we went, but all in all a great experience and we'll be back. We also went to the ice cream place and supermarket in the shopping center. read more

It's my favorite Mexican place. I've been going there for almost 20 years. I love their customer service first and foremost. Their salsa is always freshly made. Their different Margarita options are really good. Their food is pretty good too even if it's americanized , which is okay by me. My fav: tacos de Carnitas with their banging salsa verde. read more

Food is great. Service and value. Manager loves his customers. Will eat here again. Everything is good here and authentic.

The food wasn't bad but the drinks we ordered didn't come with the orange slice and cherry. I tried to ask my waitress but she couldn't speak English. I probably won't be back. read more

Monterrey Mexican Restaurant - Chili Relleno, Chicken Burrito, Sunrise Tequilla (doesn't come with an orange slice OR the cherry as depicted on menu) - Mexican Near Me - Jonesboro, Georgia

You cannot go wrong here when it comes to the food - everything I have tried so far from burritos to enchiladas to tacos are deliciously delightful from start to finish! The salads. especially the taco and guacamole salads, are wonderful and made so you get some of everything from the first bite to the last! The right amount of food for the price you pay. It is all good! Service is most friendly, helpful, and hardworking to make your meal visit a great experience. More often than not, you don't have to ask for refills on drinks, chips, or salsa. You usually do not have to ask for additional napkins, either! The only complaint is that it might get a little noisy from time to time, depending on how many people are in the restaurant at the time you are visiting. The noise level has never bothered me, though. Give Monterrey's in Jonesboro a try and you will not be disappointed! read more

The inside of the restaurant was very clean and the service was great. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and seated immediately and our waitress was super kind and attentive. The food came out hot and well seasoned. We got a plate for 2 and we couldn't even finish it. read more

Monterrey Mexican Restaurant - plates of food on a table - Mexican Near Me - Jonesboro, Georgia

My mom introduced me to Monterrey's a few years ago and I've been in love ever since! They've renovated the restaurant since the first time I've gone and it's nice and enjoyable for any type of outing. This is my favorite restaurant to go to when I'm craving Mexican food. Whenever I go there's never a long wait for seating or for the kitchen to bring your food out and I truly enjoy that. My usual is the Burrito California and sometimes the Nachos but I think I'm going to try some tacos the next time I visit. My boyfriend usually gets the Taco Salad but he tried some of my burrito this time and said he's getting whatever I get the next time we visit! Lol. I'm also a fan of their Margaritas and one is usually enough for me. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

Top 3 Mexican spot on the Soufside def get your money's worth . Don't waste your time nowhere else

This is some seriously good Mexican food! Happened to be in Jonesboro and this place came highly recommended. Wasn't certain what to expect with the social distancing norm these days, but let me tell you - they are open and ready for your business! Monterrey is located in the middle of a shopping plaza with plenty of parking. When you walk up to the door, they have a table there with menus taped on the doors. The menus are EXTENSIVE. Like, Cheesecake Factory extensive yal. At least 75 items to choose between. And the prices are incredibly reasonable. Lunch specials average around ~$8 and the dinner entrees average around ~$12.50. When I saw the prices, I just automatically assumed the portion sizes must be extremely small. Those are appetizer prices in Chicago (where I just moved from). Well, I was wrong. The portion sizes are huge. Let me tell you, this food is incredibly well seasoned! I was actually surprised at how delicious it is! I ordered: 1. The Agave Especial: Marinated steak and grilled chicken cooked with onions, tomatoes and bell peppers. Served on a bed of rice topped with nacho cheese (it's the white queso cheese). Cost: $11.50 FIVE STARS!!! 2. A Little Bit of Everything: Chalupa with guacamole salad, chile relleno, beef taco, enchilada, burrito, beans and rice. Cost: $12.95 FIVE STARS!!! I look forward to returning and I highly recommend! read more

I love this place. I've tried other similar places all over Atlanta, but none are as good as this place. The only bad thing is their closed-on Monday. The service is great and they always treat you the same no matter who waits on you. I personally love their chicken soup. It is so delicious. read more

The food is great, i have tried many things from the menu and the service is excellent. Nice and clean feel from decor.

Went here on a date Jan 24. I chose this location based on a review from one of the yelp elite members. I liked that at 8 PM on a Friday night when I pulled up this place had plenty of parking because it's in a shopping center. We didn't have to wait there was only one couple in front of us the young lady and the waitress we're very nice friendly and patient. We were immediately served with chips and salsa. my date and I both ordered margaritas on the rocks I had the mango Texas margarita. It was strong but not too strong it was exactly what I wanted. It wasn't too loud that we couldn't enjoy each other's conversation but it also wasn't quiet either. It was a nice atmosphere the food came out very quickly. the steak was a little drier than I would've liked but the flavor of the shrimp and the chicken made up for it. The rice was very flavorful and I usually don't enjoy my rice at Mexican restaurants because everyone doesn't season it well. I liked that it came with guacamole salad which is really just lettuce and tomato with a little guacamole on it instead of beans. I did have a choice between beans and rice when I ordered and I chose rice so I liked that the salad balanced out the carb count. Overall my experience was pleasant and I would return. But I'm still looking for that to die for Mexican restaurant I haven't found one close to me read more

Great experience. My friend found this place for us to have Mexican food and we were not disappointed. We could this was a good place bc when we got in there it was full. We waited about 10 minutes for a booth and we got chips and salsa right away. Our server came to take our order and he was very efficient. We ordered a Texas margarita pitcher, chunky guacamole, Texas tacos, and veggie fajitas. Everything tasted amazing and at reasonable prices. Def recommend coming here. read more

100% my favorite restaurant! I have gone here for about 24 years and have never had a bad experience. Seriously the best margaritas I've ever had. I also recommend their veggie and chicken options; they are chef's kiss. The staff is kind and the service is fast every time. The inside was recently remodeled and looks gorgeous! read more

Oh my God I'm so happy that this place has re-opened after damage due to a fire. Today is September 24 a Friday and I decided to swing in despite all of the reviews that were three or four months old that show the location closed but they are open for business with the same staff that was there before. I am so excited to eat. Open for business . Closed on Mondays. read more

I used to enjoy this restaurant before it got its face lift, however since that time it's quality and quantity have gone downhill and have become rather inconsistent. The fry portion for $3 is rather disheartening. I wish I would have snapped a picture. The rice is a hit or miss depending on who cooks it and if it's seasoned well. As for the the garlic shrimp poorly executed ... oily , tasteless and lacking in flavor. I've had a couple of their steak dishes that also look better than they taste. Needless to say I won't be frequenting this location anymore. read more

This restaurant was recently rebuilt after a fire in the atmosphere looks good and the food is delicious. I have been coming to this restaurant for over a decade. I recently decided to visit this restaurant while sick and it took me a lot to get there. I even had to have a driver I called and place my order and arrived upon the time that it should be ready once I receive my food I noticed that my order was incorrect and the establishment offered to remake my food. I allowed them to remake the food and continue to wait in the parking lot upon receiving the remake of the food. The order was still incorrect as I was really ill, and could not afford to wait any longer, I asked management, if it would be OK to cut me a discount on my next visit if I excepted the food as it is so that they will not have to continue to waste food re-making my order incorrectly. I wasn't sure that my next visit I will receive half of my next order. I asked if they need to write my name down in the book and the gentleman told me that they would remember me. i'll return the following day to place another order and was greatly surprised when I was told that my discount had been denied by management because I receive food. I try to explain the situation. However, they were not interested and held their position. I was greatly disappointed that his business did not keep their word, and he has dampen my experience going forward. read more

I love Monterrey and co-workers and I always find ourselves here a few times a month. Today the staff, as always, were very friendly. Very attentive and checking on the table with a smile from the servers to the cashiers. Always go the extra mile. Food was excellent. I love their stock salsa. It's just spicy enough to have a little tinge of a kick, but not so much so that you can't enjoy it. I almost always order the Chicken soup, no avocados, and it's always tasty. Monterrey's is a chain, and I found that depending on the ones you go to, the soup ingredients are a bit different, but it's tasty all the same. I can't recommend this place enough and encourage you to try it at least once wherever you are in the area, but specifically at the Tara Blvd location. Enjoy! read more

Monterrey Mexican Restaurant - Chicken soup - Mexican Near Me - Jonesboro, Georgia

I loved going here for lunch when I worked in Forest Park. Even when they are busy, you get great service and it never takes too long to get your food. I always went for the Speedy Gonzales (which has an enchilada, taco and rice) or the lunch fajitas. The food was tasty but not necessarily consistent. Sometimes my cheese enchilada wouldn't be cooked long enough, so I started ordering it well done and that fixed the issue. Now that I live in Atlanta, I miss eating at restaurants like this that give you a bottomless supply of chips and dip and think nothing of it. (sigh) read more

I love this place and the experience is ALWAYS great. My dad introduced me to Monterrey's in SC and I found one in GA. From Friday after work with my coworkers... to me and my husband arguing about who knew the better Mexican restaurant...to us eventually finding out that we were talking about the same place...LOL... ...U could say we have a history! ;-) The food is great! We've pretty much enjoyed every dish we have ordered. I love the decor of the restaurant. The colors, pictures and decorations definitely add to the experience. The service was on time, attentive and professional...definitely a 20% tip day... ...and for the drinks...I'm always pleased! The margarita will creep up on you especially if you order Texas. You should definitely check this place out!! Frank and Terri read more

They don't disappoint!!.. just recently reopened due to a fire and the food seems like it tastes even better now!!

This is my go to place for Mexican food. The service is always superb, the food is Great, and the drinks are better than anywhere else. I have been going to this restaurant for several years and I've never had bad service. It is my opinion that for the few people that did leave a bad review, they just can never be satisfied anywhere. They probably complain everywhere they go and they just complain to get their meal free. This place and the staff are AWESOME!!!! read more

Great food and an amazing family owned business. They have been serving delicious fajitas for over a decade and not too expensive either.
