Service and food are always the best. The servers are friendly and very good to take care of the needs of the customers

My son and I went after a long road trip. Food and service were excellent. The food is very authentic, I wish it was a bit closer to Knoxville to make it more convenient to visit. The place should be on HGTV DDD. read more

Monterrey Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Newport, Tennessee

We drive a hour round trip weekly, this was our favorite place. My husband ordered a chicken quesadilla with grilled chicken and cheese only it comes with rice and beans and he ordered a separate order of chicken fajitas to go. So he ordered only 2 meals. We drove back home. The chicken quesadilla was made with shedded chicken green peppers and onions. Family member has eating disorder (AFRID) and started instantly vomiting and it continued until they started to vomit blood. We order the same thing every time. This has been ordered every week. This time they really dropped the ball. They wasn't even busy. If anyone has a food disorder or food allergy, think twice about ordering here. He confirmed the Quesadilla "Grilled chicken and cheese only" twice when ordering. Order at your own risk. They obviously don't care about any medical conditions. read more

Monday at 6pm - Half full restaurant was seated immediately. Had fish tacos & shrimp, and chicken fajitas served quickly and everything was delicious. The Salsa Verde served with the Fish tacos was so good We put it on everything. Big portions & Reasonable prices read more

The food is served hot and quickly. The menu is a bit large for my taste. However, the tacos and fajitas are always a good choice. Some of the beef dishes are a little salty for me, but I don't use much salt in my cooking, so I'm a bit sensitive to the taste. Service is very good and they are polite. read more

Usually, I love eating here, but from my last experience, I don't wanna go here again. So first I took food and my stomach started hurting, and then we found plastic in our food! We told a worker there and he just made up excuses! My stepsister found weird stuff that we couldn't even identify in her food! Never wanna eat here again read more

If you wanna feel like your dining at the neighbors house come here. Whether it's packed out or a slow night, the food's great. We've been so many times, it almost feels like the "Cheers" of Mexican restaurants. I haven't had anything bad, but my favorite is the steak street tacos (carne asada). read more

Hands down the BEST Mexican in Cocke, or any county for that matter! I've lost count how many times the wife, family, and I have eaten here! The service is impeccable, the food is outstanding, and if I eat any more chips and salsa while I'm there, I just may explode! Ahhh the only way to go! All kidding aside, this is our only go to Mexican place here in Tennessee! Just off of the highway, easily accessible, delicious food, wonderful staff.. what more could you ask for? And did I mention reasonably priced? What are you waiting for? Make like Speedy Gonzalez, and take the family out for a real treat! You won't regret it! read more

Monterrey Mexican Restaurant - Chips, salsa, and remnants of an amazing Mexican meal!! - Mexican Near Me - Newport, Tennessee

Very friendly local place. It was busy during dinner time Spacious and you can feel safe about Covid. They have many choices. I got the street tacos. I have had better tacos before, not gonna lie. But service cannot be beat. I liked the chips and salsa a lot. The best part of my gigantic meal was dessert. I got the cheesecake chimichanga. That is the bomb. Thank you! read more

We had a great experience. I had the fajita nachos and my wife had chicken Santa Fe. Service was fantastic, the portions were huge for the price, and they serve Diet Coke. We will return if ever in this area again. read more

I like Monterey's Mexican Restaurant because the food is good and the service is ok. It's a convenient place to stop in and grab a bite to eat! Even when in a hurry they accommodate you rapidly with a smile usually. A lot of people locally eat there so that should tell you something. I can't see behind the scene to check out the cleanliness of the place but I hope and pray it's clean and not like most Mexican Restaurants like Lacaretta who are always getting bad scores on their health dept Inspections... read more

I Love the Shrimp Fajitas and the Shrimp Super Quesadillas!!! Yummy Great Service and Ambiance is Fun and Chill

Always fresh & delicious! Fast & friendly service. Ordered lava bowl & big burrito. Love the free chips & salsa while you wait for your order. Also, ordered 3 tamales with extra sauce & 2 flan desserts. Good to-go for leftovers. read more

Food great. Service great. Typical ambiance. Best experience in Newport while passing through.

All of the food that they prepare is so good. I've never had anything that taste bad.

I'm sorry, but this is in NO way authentic Mexican food or even close to Tex-Mex. I asked one of the waiters if this was like the food his grandma served at home and his reply was " No Ma'am. " Take the time to drive to Morristown to Don Pam Jo's on Cumberland. You will be glad you did. read more

Are use these guys today to cater a lunch for one of my doctors offices they did an amazing job and even delivered the food for me since I was in Nashville and the office was in Newport, Tennessee.

Great food with a menu that has lots of variety. Staff that is attentive and treats us like family. Great place to go with a party of two or ten! New renovations are comfortable and modern. read more

Awesome Mexican joint in Newport. I accidentally bypassed all the eateries on the way from Dollywood. But I'm glad I did! This place was awesome. Great salsa and great food all around.

Monterrey Mexican Restaurant - people enjoying fud - Mexican Near Me - Newport, Tennessee

I love real authentic Mexican food! It might not look like it from the outside but the restaurant looks authentic and beautiful inside. I love how they give you the chips and salsa first. The service is excellent! The beef and chicken Fajitas are amazing! It comes with beans and rice, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, and sour cream. The Flautas are very flavorful. The beef and chicken burritos are delicious and amazing. The servings are huge. You definitely will not be disappointed. The food is delicious and it is definitely worth going! You can go as a couple or have big groups. Enjoy and have fun! read more

Had dinner here last night. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had at any restaurant! The waitress was the rudest I have ever seen. She did not give her name and argued about what one of us ordered. Bottom line was she got the order wrong and blamed it on us. The food was terrible. Do not waste your time. I brought two friends who had never visited the area and I was totally embarrassed by the behavior of the waitress and the quality and taste of the food. None of us could eat the meal and they didn't even inquire as to why all of the food was left. Also, the inside of the place has been completely remodeled. Now everything I'd bright white tile with blue booths. Reminds me of a bathroom. Very disappointing. I will NEVER go back! read more

Not the nicest looking place but the food and service is great. Just the right amount of spice and beer is cold.

One of my favorites. Love the service, food, and owners. Our community is blessed to have Rosie and Ernesto

We stopped here after leaving a funeral. Super excited to find a little hole in the wall restaurant. Those are normally the best and even of not the best...it's mexican can it be really bad?!?....the answer is yes, yes it can. I ordered Texas fajita nachos...1 piece of shrimp and the driest chicken ever. One of us ordered Vallarta Chicken...thier was enough salsa or cheese sauce to revive that dry chicken. One ordered the Texas potato..still trying to figure that out but it was cold. Lastly, one ordered the big burrito and chili rellanos...the burrito had no flavor ans the chili Redlands, yeah, big pile of flavorless ground meat, with a pepper cut in half on top, and melted cheese.... read more

We're traveling through the area and this was close to our hotel. Food was very good, servers did well, and portions were huge. Overall a great find at a great value! Salsa was a little on the hot side, but had good flavor. Kids didn't care for it, but they don't like spicy. Everything else was very good. I'd definitely go back if we were in the area again. read more

Service was quick, friendly and efficient. The restaurant was clean. Food was delivered in a timely manner too. Plus, it was really good! I definitely recommend if you are looking for authentic Mexican food! read more

Mexican food is not what I'm used to on the West Coast. Having said that, the chips and salsa were a hit with my family. The salsa was more than tomato sauce but not too spicy that my youth age gringo daughters wouldn't eat it. The ground beef burritos were better than the chicken ones. Jonathan was a great waiter too. read more

Great Mexican food and Texas margaritas! I will be back. Wait staff was friendly and the food came fast.

The seating was quick. The service is quick as well. As usual at Mexican restaurants, I ordered the chicken fajitas. The meal was well prepared and generous portions. The boy fault I found was they don't have a hotter salsa. read more

Got food to go! Originally from SoCal, I have not had mexican food made my real mexicans in a while. This place is legit, from the chips and salsa to the guacamole to the fajitas! F**king good food from south of the border. Ignorw the negative reviews. They wouldn't know mexican food if they ate it in mexico! It was quite good and the next time I'm in newport tn. You'll find me here. read more
