Reviews for Monterrey's Mexican Restaurant in Columbia, SC

Honestly, not the best experience tonight. It appeared that they were short staffed. Noone was waiting to be seated when we... walked in, but it took at least five minutes for someone to notice us and seat us. The hostess immediately delivered chips andsalsa. It took long enough for the server to come to our table that we placed our drink order and entree order at the sametime. She did what was necessary but nothing extra. We were never offered a second basket of chips even though it was emptylong before we got our food. Our drinks were empty before a refill was offered and I would have liked another before we left. Interestingly, the cups for tea seemed to be bigger than the cups for soft drinks. The food was fine and arrived in areasonable amount of time. The prices appeared to be somewhat cheaper than competitors, but portion sizes appeared smaller aswell. My husband and son both could have eaten more. Read more

If i could give them 0 stars i would. We had a party of 8 and half of us came in to see if they had tables, the waitress Diana... said i can seat 4 of you now and the rest after?? we stated our other half of the party was here already so she began to stateshe just sat a party of 4 and we would have to wait until she gets there orders. Ok fine? no problem she takes our orders andwe ask for fajitas mixtas and she gets very defensive and say they are called fajita ?trio? and rolls her eyes. food getsbrought out and she gets the wrong order and gets defensive again and says ?No, you ordered this and that? First of all you donot argue with clients if you have some type of customer service experience you would know that and you would apologize and getthe order right but DIANA she is not like that. We then ask for hot sauce and she says you need to wait until i bring out theother food ok(very rude way), when all she had to say was yes, give me one second. Food was not good either for the service. Theworst experience EVER. Do NOT recommend. Monterrey do better!!!! Read more

Food served hot, on hot plates. Next to me the person got sizzling fajitas, and they smelled terrific. Two people asked for the... Salsa Verde because they like heat. Great atmosphere. We enjoyed lunch. Read more

Place wasn't busy. I ordered the taco salad from the lunch menu. I paid extra for additions I wanted. However it was horrible.... The meat was way too salty. It wasn't good at all. Later I felt so bad I had to eat something else to get that taste out of mymouth. Even thought I would throw up a few times. I would never go back. The server was nice however the food. Something aseasy as taco salad... no way. Im glad I didn't have the guacamole added. It looked so nasty I just left it to the side. Nothingauthentic. He brought extra meat at no charge because my shell was close to empty. I asked for lettuce. Sadly this was a wasteof money. Read more

Great service! The food was a bit bland. I'll give it another chance a different day.

Beautiful little spot in a quaint little town. Super easy to get excited visually first! Customer service was amazing. No... complaints here. Communication was clear and we got just what we wanted. Presentation was was lovely. Taste was satisfying!!!!!Price was great too!!! Even my grandson and sons loved the place. We will be back! Sorry no food pictures- it was devoured onceeverything hit the table. Read more

Went for an early dinner, we were seated right away. Ordered mango margaritas, no trace of any alcohol. $5 for the small, $10... for the large. Ordered the "A little bit of everything" so that I could have something for lunch or dinner the next day. Priceswere good, not as high as other places, and service was good. Read more

The food was really good but our waitress seemed to have difficulty understanding our orders though we ordered them in spanish.... I also had to request my Bahama Mama 3 times before I got one that barely had any alcohol in it and I'm a complete light weight. Read more
