I've eaten at the Smyrna Monterrey and I believe I've tried other ones too, but for some reason this one in Douglasville off Hwy 5 is not on my good list. It was later in the evening say 9pm. I ordered food and one of their Margaritas. Thankfully I did not get a huge one because it tasted horrible. When I mentioned that to my server he basically said too bad it's alcohol and I had to drink what was poured for me. It was basically some sort of premixed Jalapeño margarita that was brownish in color with an unpleasant taste. I love Jalapeño margs., but this one was not delicious. I tried a couple more tiny sips, but it was NOT going to be possible to drink. My actual food was eh. I believe my food order was slightly wrong. Plus, it wasn't any exciting so I didn't take a pic. I'll be trying a different Mexican restaurant next time and just to be on the safe side bottled/on tap beer. Sad bc I love Mexican food and this place immensely disappointed me!! read more

Monterrey Restaurant - Chips n Salsa w/ a disgustingly made Jalapeño Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Douglasville, Georgia

My food was very tasty but our waiter was very rude he took little or no time taking care of us when I brought it to his attention quote you think you are the only ones here I had the grandmother refill my drink his response that's her job she has to do something also smh he's our waiter or lack there off The place is load face pace but the food is good it's a shame that waiter ruined our experience read more

I had a family member pick up an order for me and bring it home. I was craving authentic Mexican food. The food was just ok. I ordered Nachos because a surgery prevented me from eating heavy food. When the Nachos arrived home, they were very soggy. I ordered Mexican street corn, it was bland and I'm used to it with cilantro, but that's ok, it didn't show cilantro in the pictures. In fact, I didn't see cilantro in any of their pictures. Doesn't some authentic Mexican food usually have at least a sprinkle of cilantro? I actually thought I'd give this place another try by ordering something different next time. But then I noticed on my receipt that I was charged a "To Go Fee" and a "Card Fee." It's the principle for me. Don't come up with creative ways to steal money from your customers! I'm done! read more

As this is a chain (at least locally), I have frequented other iterations of Monterey in the past. There is currently no branch near where I live, but we were in this area at lunchtime and given that our first choice for Mexican had closed recently, we discovered this location. It is on Buford Hwy inside the perimeter (within a half mile of 285). They have their own parking lot, which is not huge but is probably adequate for the size of the restaurant. They have a patio out front, but it was cold the day we visited. Inside is just one large room with tables and booths. The place seems to have been there for a long time, but I don't mean that in a bad way. Service was quick and friendly. They seemed to tag-team the effort, as different servers showed up for ordering, water, food, etc. It worked fine. The menu is what you see at similar long-standing Mexican places. I tend to gravitate towards the combos. My wife got one as well. I thought it was slightly odd that the tacos came out first and separately. This isn't a complaint; it actually might be a better approach generally, but I hadn't seen it done this way before. We were still enjoying the tacos when the rest of the combos arrived. Getting the to-go containers and the check was also easy. Prices were reasonable. I'd consider returning here if I were in the area at a mealtime. read more

The food is extremely good and I wasn't disappointing because I came a long way to come to this restaurant. The service is exceptional as always. The ambiance is a family feel and made the experience very good. there was a mistake in order, but they quickly rectified it. read more

Powder Springs location: the food is good for the most part but the customer service is terrible at this location. i've been to several locations and this one was just awful on a friday night with 6 people at the very most dining in. i asked for the 3 steak tacos with rice and beans (comes with 3 tacos lettuces onions cilantro cheese) i would pay for the pico sour cream and guacamole on the side. i wasn't able to order the combo because i wanted flour tortillas instead of corn so now i would have to pay for the rice and beans and all the toppings including lettuce cheese and onions. i know that didn't sound right the manager came and told me sorry for the inconvenience he doesn't speak english very well. they didn't even ask how i wanted my steak cook. i'm just over at this point i just wanted to pay and take my order home. i asked for some chips and salsa to go and the server told me i can just take the ones from the table. i went to the front paid for my food and waited on my to go boxes and he only brought me one. and proceeded to hover over me just standing there watching me me pack everything up i didn't say anything but after five minutes why are you still here and you have another table you could be checking on. i paid 15 minutes prior to this his response for hovering over was "im just trying to make sure you have everything you need." when he didn't even do that before. it was just weird and disrespectful. i won't be back. i read more

Service was good but I ordered a chiller chili poblano and it tasted bad so I sent it back and I got something else no, I'm at home. Super sick. I guess they put something in my food because I sent it back read more

I came here on a Friday evening and was seated and greeted immediately. My drink order was taken pretty quickly. We were given salsa and tortilla chips, however the tortilla chips were stale and we had to ask for a replacement. I ordered the margarita pitcher and it was great. For dinner I ordered the shrimp tacos. The food came out very quickly and very hot. My shrimp had great seasoning on it. I wanted to order avocado but my waiter did not come back. I asked another waiter to send our waiter back. He finally came back and I got my avocado 30 minutes after our food came. Although the server was very friendly, he forgot to check on us after a while. I ended up taking most of my food to go so I could warm it up and add my avocado when I got home. The food was good and I enjoyed the drinks. It is an ok spot if you're looking for good drinks and pretty good food. read more

Ordered drinks, cheese dip and 2 Chicken, beef and shrimp fajitas. The margaritas tasted great but were weak in tequila. The fajitas were awful. No seasoning whatsoever. The meat was overcooked and very little spices or flavor. Disappointed. The waiter comes to the table with an electronic device to take payment. No receipt. Just not happy with this at all. read more

The best Mexican place I've been to hands down! The food was so flavorful! I came for the birria ramen and it was absolutely amazing. I also ordered a #11 lunch special which was a Chimmichaga with beans and rice. The Chimmichaga had sour cream lettuce tomato and guacamole on top. They even have pineapple tequila read more

I don't give out 5 stars alot. We come here on Tuesdays of course and also on the weekends when I can't decide on what I want to eat but I know the service will be fast. Everything we get here tastes great. From the tacos to the fajitas to the quesadillas. All yummy. Never fails. Service is friendly and fast. Taste like authentic Mexican food and not the gimmicky tex-mex spots. I will continuously keep coming back unless I have some sort of bad experience. Keep it up! read more

Service started off good with the buff waiter. The food of Texas nachos and burrito were all tasty until I look to right and see a small roach crawling on wall by the wood molding. I thought my eyes were deceiving me as it disappeared all fast. Then, 20 minutes later waiting on the waiter that went on break per the host, look down on the floor and see another roach on the floor. This use to be my favorite spot but I'm good and decided not to make a scene just warn others. read more

Monterrey Restaurant - Inside restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Douglasville, Georgia

I have frequented this Resturant both in person and take out. We normally get the chori queso, fajitas (steak), chicken soup, burrito. The last time we did take out- was definitely the last. The food was dry, the meat undercooked and so was the rice. The only thing that was decent was the chori queso. I called and spoked to the manager- he wanted me to drive back 45 minutes to exchange the food. Who has that kind of time? I said ok- but will never return. read more

The food was just as good as I remember when I lived here several years ago. We picked up food to go and the process was easy peasy. Those ordering takeout are not allowed inside. There's a table setup at the door and a on option for you to scan their barcode and the menu pops up on your phone. We ordered tacos, queso, arroz con pollo and one with steak. Everyone was very pleased with their food. I've gotten used to street tacos in Phoenix and forgot how big the tacos were at this place. I ordered 3 and could only eat one. It was soooo good. The Hubs and my bro-in-law both enjoyed their food as well. read more

This Place uses to be good, but now the food is horrible and the service even worse. I ordered the chicken and beef nachos and the chips were stale as can be and it had barley any cheese sauce. I told my waiter and he says "want a Togo box" Nice. Won't be back read more

Buena comida, el servicio es bien atento y un buen ambiente. Espacioso y acogedor. Familiar.

I really like this place. I go here specifically for esquite and their chunky guacamole but they also have good tacos and margaritas!

The best Street tacos I've had since moving to Georgia! The chicken has so much flavor and they give you so much food.

This was a fun place to go with work friends in Atlanta. They had a band come around and sing songs while you had dinner. Very intertaining. If I can post videos of them I will. The food was good, but the margarita was the best I've ever had. In fact, the best two I've had. See the photos for more details. A great place that's close to my hotel. read more

Good menu choices and a great staff! I loved the combination taco salad!! Awesome! Very clean

Great food. Service, eh! It's lacking but they are trying. Love watching them interact with the regulars and know what they want. But they need more staff. They are literally running around with HOT FOOD like chickens with their heads cut off! I've been waiting 20min just for the server to come back to get my card he must not want to be paid. Other than that the food is great! I hear the MARGS are A-1 but I can't review those for another 45days or so... lol read more

-5 for food -5 for the beverages -5 for the noise​ -5 for the bathrooms +2 for the service Tasteless​, expensive, and uncomfortable​. The worst food I ever had in the States, second only to my TacoBell experience. Many reviewers say​ that the best Mexican in town, so I guess, don't​ have Mexican food in Douglasville. read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Douglasville. I'm never disappointed when I come here. Fast and friendly service. The food is good I like the fact that you can actually taste the seasoning.

Love the food, servers are friendly and nice, quick service. Love the locations. Would definitely go again and again

Sometimes you get great service and sometimes you don't. Sometimes you get good food and sometimes you don't. Pretty much there's no consistency with the service or the food! read more

So we went today and I'm taking back my earlier review. Took forever for her to get to the table. No plates given with appetizer. No utensils given until asked for. She kept running away from the table too fast to get what we needed. They brought wrong fish tacos after she asked me three times what I wanted. Poor service!! They are always running away from the tables at this place. Service people, service!!!!! Don't expect good tips without service! read more

Monterrey has good food and thru the years they have changed their menu, not for the better my the way. That being said the food is still the best here in the Villa Rica area, we have tried several others but those were not "real" Mexican food. Now the kicker at this restaurant is that they got rid of all their EXCELLENT wait staff for incompetent, rude, and discourteous staff. This makes your restaurant look very bAd...but it seems that this is the direction the owners want to go, even if it kills their business. The staff is the reason they only get one star!!! Buyer beware of staff!!! read more
