We have ordered takeout delivery from here for a few years, but this was our actual first time dining in. It was beautiful inside; we really enjoyed the vibe of the place. The food as always was delicious and generous portions.The staff was attentive. We didn’t have any, but I saw one of the waiters taking over a couple of large beautiful looking margaritas to another table,so we will definitely try some next time.

We had an absolute blast here the other week. The food was extremely delicious, the drinks were also high quality, and the service was great. I highly recommend.

Excellent choice for Mexican when in the area. The food is quick to come out, the menu is diverse, and the price is great. They are able accommodate many switches to menu items. The drink menu is also fun, the drinks do lack the “punch” that you get at other places, so order an extra shot on the side. The mole sauce is delightful.

Absolutely excellent Mexican restaurant. Was really really impressed. HUGE portion sizes. Tons of options. Great complimentary chips & salsa. Empanadas were phenomenal. The STREET CORN was so. Good. Please order. “Side” of refried beans is huge.

Overall, stellar meal, stellar price, great vibe. Get the street corn. Get 2 servings.

The service is incredible, we walked in a little after 5 and were immediately sat. Servers are top notch at checking on you and ensuring you have what you need. The food was good, could use a little more seasoning but still good! The environment is just a little loud but that’s what we get for a Saturday night. This is the Mexican restaurant we have been searching for to make our regular favorites in town!

I found myself at Carrboro Plaza, Carrboro, NC and found myself at the local Monterrey Mexican Grill, a small franchise that has three locations in Chapel Hill, Durham, and Carrboro. The place was happening, with people outside discussing their evening plans, some folk picking up a mobile order, and a family coming in behind me. Voices and laughter filled the space, as mobile orders kept piling up, treasures waiting to be taken home – it is clear that Monterrey Mexican Grill not only keeps its atmosphere inviting and warm (72°F!) but caters to a large number of hungry families who want to sit at their own table.

I was quickly seated, and almost instantly chips and salsa appeared at the table. The waiter and waitresses at Monterrey never stop; one can see them running with steaming plates of food, opulent cocktails, and endless chips without pause, and there are few establishments that can replicate the rigor and speed. I asked if a gift card balance could be checked, and though it took jumping through a few hoops, the staff worked through their payment system with patience and kindness. Monterrey Mexican Grill is not just food, it is a whole experience, and though I was eating alone, the restaurant and everything it had to offer guaranteed that I would have a great time.

Even if you don’t appreciate the traditional Mexican music ubiquitous at Tex-Mex restaurants, the space itself is worth a visit. The décor of the space reflects this also, but Monterrey achieves their aesthetic without falling victim to kitsch. Instead, there’s a sense of elegance, combined with TVs that show sports or other entertainment, warm lighting that makes the space seem intimate, and architectural facades that transport you to a Mexican restaurant you’d hope to find during your dream vacation. All in all, going to Monterrey is instantly familiar – I am not family, but a happily welcomed guest, and I can ask for nothing more.

Finally seated, food starts coming my way. I order the guacamole, and it appears at breakneck speed, and I have to stop myself from devouring the bowl within moments of it hitting the table. Clean, fresh, and melt-in-your-mouth creamy, Monterrey has some of the best Tex-Mex guacamole in recent memory. If you crave guac, Monterrey is there waiting to serve you something delicious, there is no contest. As I eat, the smell of browning meat fills the air, and I know someone is splurging with fajitas – eating here is both a solo affair (I am a table of one), and a community celebration of Tex-Mex flavors.

My Burrito Pepe comes to the table, and I am warned the plate is hot, more proof of the kitchen’s speed. It’s massive, and I appreciate the size on the cusp of an economic downturn. Indeed, by the end, I will manage to eat half before needing to ask for a box, delighted that I will leave with tomorrow’s dinner as well! Cutting into the burrito is cutting into delight, and I am met with black beans, steak, and onions cooked to delicious perfection. The burrito itself is topped with different sauces, giving an exciting and shifting eating experience as you make your way through it. As I type, I surrender to the burrito, bested by its rich flavors, generous filling, and impressive size.

Yet, I do not throw in the towel completely, for any solo dining experience demands either a drink or a dessert, and since I don’t drink, dessert is in order. I get the Chimi Cheesecake (pictured), and regret only that I ate too much of the burrito to fully appreciate the fried cheesecake, ice cream, and cherry sauce in the way it deserved. It was indulgent, rich, and perfect when you need to cheat on your diet.

This restaurant is exactly what a local Tex-Mex establishment should be. Big portions, charismatic staff, and an inviting atmosphere all come together to make Monterrey Mexican Grill a must-visit, though if I were you, I would plan on visiting often.

I ordered a taco salad. It was not good. Lettuce was wet. There was so much liquid, like eating soup. Ask why it was so wet. Brought me another , but was the same.
Didn’t eat either one, but was still charged. Our server was great, food not so much
