Monterrey Mexican Restaurant of Chapel Hill

Mexican Restaurants are my favorite places to eat. There are only a few that make a great investment into the building and ambience of their establishment. There even fewer that put effort in the presentation of the meal. I was really surprised by Monterrey. So much so I am wanting to take some of my friends there on special occasions. If you want to go to a Mexican Restaurant that is a few steps above the rest. This is a place I would recommend. It is a little pricy. We had 4 in our party which costed us around $60 before adding the tip. The food was delicious and very large. You can easily have a second meal to take home. I really want to go again.

My friends and I had a great experience here. The staff was super friendly and attentive. The waiter memorized all our orders without writing them down which was super impressive. The restaurant is huge and very spacious. A big game was on tv and tons of people were there to watch the game. Our food came out so fast and was delicious. I got the ACP which was great. I got a virgin watermelon mojito which I loved. My only complaint would be that they charged me full price for the mojito, and usually restaurants don’t charge full price for virgin cocktails. I will definitely be back though.

We got takeout from here after arriving in NC. Was having trouble using Uber eats/ Grubhub but called and they had my order ready in 15 minutes. I had the veggie plate which I modified to be vegan it was good. My boyfriend had the carne asada special which he said was really good. We also got guacamole and pico (with chips) both good although the guacamole was a little pricey! Would love to see this restaurant add a vegan menu option!

They were super accommodating and friendly. Everyone was well masked and covid-considerate. The food was super tasty and a great value. I'll definitely be back.

The food was delicious! Nice sized portions for AYCE! Mr Tokyo was fantastic!!
