Reviews for Monterrey Mexican Restaurant in Bristol, CT
The drinks are good and strong, the food was tasty, service was awesome and the atmosphere was very inviting
We went once years ago and it was very good, so last night I was dying for Mexican food so we went again. I'm sad to say it was... the polar opposite experience. We walked in, there was no one waiting & plenty of tables but, after being walked past at least6 different times we were finally greeted & brought to a table. For as much as we were ignored to be seated, we were rushedinto making a decision on what we wanted for our meal. I am not sure why we were rushed to make that decision because once weplaced our order it had to be at least 30 minutes before our food was brought out. I got The Enchilada Roja while my husbandgot the steak and shrimp fajitas. While we waited for our food, we finished our chips, I placed the empty basket at the edge ofthe table hoping someone would notice and bring us more, that never happened. I was finally able to catch another server'sattention to ask for more, it's not like our server ever checked in with us or updated us on the status of our food while wewaited. I wish I had taken a picture of my meal because words cannot adequately describe the disappointment. While the platewas warm my food was at best lukewarm, I'm not even sure there was a tablespoon of enchilada sauce and the cheese was barelymelted, at least my husband's food came out steaming hot but then again he did get a fajita. My husband asked for a side ofcheese for his fajita, she never brought it out to him. Once our food was delivered we never saw her again until it was time togo. I'm sorry to say that was the last time we will be going back. Footnote I also think there was a bit of a languagebarrier, which I understand we were at a Mexican restaurant and I appreciate English is not their first language, but if you aregoing to deal with the public, I truly think you should have a strong understanding of both languages.

I ordered sautéed plantains for an appetizer, though it could've been for my dessert; they were a deliciously sweet treat. For... dinner, I ordered the Chicken Fajitas for myself, whereas the serving could've easily been shared between 2 people. Arrivedpiping hot, still sizzling from roasting on a cast iron pan. The vegetables and chicken were fresh, juicy & delicious! Read more
Great catering food. Everyone ate a full plate, and seconds. Still had leftover! All the shells were well packed in the box, ... none cracked. Thanks for the great food! Read more
The La Crema chicken dinner was fantastic. And the churro and ice cream dessert was heaven on a plate. Did not much care for the... black bean soup, as I expected it to be more 'soup' like, with a thinner broth, and other vegetables. Will visit again just forthe churros,,, they were divine! Read more
