Delicious hidden gem. The food was fresh & quality ingredients. Decent prices for what you get. I would definitely recommend and we’ll be back!

Great “hole in the wall” joint! It’s quite spacious on the inside and yes, it’s an old place, but it was well kept and colorful. As soon as we were walking in, a server was whisking a dish by me and I just had to ask what it was. “Pollo Gonzalez!” So that’s what I ordered. And I was not disappointed. The chicken in the dish was perfection. They have a large menu, but I really didn’t look at it, after making my decision just seconds through the door. The waitstaff was friendly and personable, quick and attentive. I am looking forward to going again.

For my daughter’s birthday, I asked her where she wanted to go and she said Monterey’s Little Mexico. Being there from out of state, I had her direct me there. The outside was unassuming. We went inside and I was mildly surprised.
They had a good selection of dishes and beers and margaritas. We ordered, she had the enchiladas (3) and I had the enchilada and tacos. The food came quickly and I asked for a bowl of their hottest salsa which I poured the whole bowl on my food. Honestly, given the outside, I wasn’t expecting much. Boy was I wrong. The salsa was very flavorful, even the extra hot one. The tacos were made the way I make them. The enchiladas were stuffed with meat (both of us had grilled chicken). It’s hard to say much about the refried beans and Spanish rice, except to say they too were very good. No spots where the beans had not been cooked enough and were rock hard or so mashed that it was more like bean paste and trust me I’ve had to endure both. No, these were cooked to perfection, as was the rice. And the hot salsa I asked for was delicious. It wasn’t burn your face off but it got my attention. All this to say, if you are looking for a taste of Mexico and are in the Grand Prairie area, you should treat yourself to the cuisine at Monterey’s Little Mexico.

Made a last minute, random decision to stop here & eat with the family. I was not disappointed. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was lively. The service was great. And because we’re in a hurry to get to the airport we were able to get our food & pay within the hour. I’ll definitely come back!

Great service, great food. We’ve had troubles finding great Mex find here in metroplex, but someone told us about this place. It is a bit older inside, but the service and food more than make up for it. And, the green avocado sauce is REALLY good too!

I purchased $200 of gift cards, and went in to use them. I was told that there was no money on the cards. I showed receipts and bank account to prove that I purchased them there. They explained to me that they had a new system and that it probably didn’t get transferred over. I went ahead and paid for the food and was told it would be straightened out when I return.
I came back a couple of days later and got the same result. I then spoke to the manager and showed him all my proof of purchase. His solution was for me to keep track of the receipts and deduct it from the total of the cards. I did and left.
On the 3rd visit I spoke to the same manager and asked him why can’t he just issue me new cards to replace at least the one I haven’t used. I explained to him this isn’t how this is supposed to work. He told me that he didn’t really have to honor the cards. I told him with all the evidence I have that I bought the cards that he would look really bad. He then took my cards to try and fix them. I then sat down and ordered our food. We waited an hour and no food. I went up to the manager which was still working on my gift cards. I asked if something was wrong because we have been waiting an hour on our food. He laughed and said no you haven’t. I told him I don’t make this stuff up. I then asked him to return my cards that I wanted to leave. He then told me they were working on 20 to go orders, and that his people only have two hands. I told him I was going to contact the corporate office. He went into a big spill about how this is a free country that I can do what I wanted. I told him I am going to record you treating me this way to play for his boss. He then changed his attitude very quickly.
He said my cards fixed but I don’t really want to go back. I have been going there for 8 years and never had such problems like this. I can’t get anyone to return my calls through the website.

I had a very good experience in this place, the food is good but it can be better. Atmosphere is good but I think is a little bit dark. The physical menu is too big and it looks dirty (probably is not) it is time to update it with some.pictutes. anyways, overall good experience. BTW. I never see a waiter like Diego. Looks like he was the only one attending several tables. He was fast, always checking our table and very friendly.

Great lunch experience. My coworkers and I have wanting to try this place for some time and we went today. Colorful atmosphere. Attentive and sweet staff. All of our food was fantastic. The salsa was so good. We plowed through a couple cups of it which seldom happens. Then we got some appetizers…Mexican Corn. Guacamole Salad, and the shrimp, crayfish and spinach dip (WOW!), they were all delicious! Then out came our meals. Allow them were good. We were all sharing about meals with each other.
PS … all was good except for one thing….the air conditioning condensation was dripping on our table. That was gross. Please fix.

IOMGoodness! The food was amazing! The green salsa was delightful! The only problem with the flight of margaritas was picking out favorite. The stuffed avocado was more of a smothered avocado but absolutely delicious. The sooapillas and apple crisp were amazing. It kinda looks like a hole in the wall place but don’t let that fool you. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal!

I had the chicken fajita enchiladas. The wife had the Crusty Chicken. Both were terrific!! Staff was friendly, restaurant was clean and comfortable. We dined here three days ago we’re still talking about how good it was. Making plans to return.
