Monterrey

Another exceptional meal at Monterrey in Bristol tonight. I ordered the pollo veracruz, my wife went with the fish tacos. Thought my meal was decent, very slight amount of spice, so at least they were not heavy handed when they cooked it. But I’m not sure if I would order the pollo veracruz there again, since my wife’s fish tacos were so delicious. They were super-​tasty, she loved them, best fish tacos we’ve had anywhere.
She also enjoyed a pair of strawberry margaritas. Since I was driving, I didn’t drink, but we did have dessert — churros with ice cream & caramel sauce. Outstanding, an awesome way to finish off an excellent meal.
Service was stellar, as always. Monterrey is consistent 5 Star quality, a true gem in Bristol.

After ordering for delivery they told me 30 minutes. Than after over an hour I received a call from someone who doesn’t speak a word of English (who was the delivery man) just for him to speak spanish to me (I am not Spanish). So I called the restaurant to see what was going on and they said they had no idea where he was or where my food was. They didn’t apologize for wasting my time or anything. I will not be back anytime soon. After my experience I wouldn’t recommend them for delivery whatsoever.

I was in the mood for Mexican, and this place had very high ratings, so I was excited to try it. Boy, was I disappointed.
My girlfriend and I went on a Sunday afternoon. The place doesn’t look too great from the outside, but it was nice enough inside. Chips and salsa were fine, however the rest of the meal definitely left something to be desired.
I ordered tacos with chicken and Mole sauce. Just about every Mexican place I have been to uses shredded chicken. Here, however, it was really just fried cubes of chicken. My girlfriend ordered some sort of taco salad and was surprised to see it served with FRENCH DRESSING (I’m told something with chipotle in it would have been much more appropriate).
Neither of us were crazy about our meals, and my girlfriend ate less than half and didn’t want it wrapped (which is very rare for her). Both of us left with queasy stomachs as well.
To summarize, I’m not sure why this place is so highly rated– perhaps it is because it is in Bristol, and people are not used to actual good restaurants. Don’t get your hopes up!

The frozen wild berry margaritas were awesome!!! I wanted to lick the glass. They also serve a green sauce with their house chips that is incredibly good but their salsa is not good at all. Their entres are very good too. I had steak, which was cooked perfectly, and they accommodated my substitution of plantains instead of rice and beans, which I appreciated. The plantains were just okay. Overall, we’ll be back.

Came here from Florida and really wanted some good Mexican! After reading all the good reviews I had to come. I pulled into the parking lot and thought wtf .not cute kinda looks sketchy. But it’s actually nice and very clean inside.
That being said, the chips and salsa was great but the food was awful! :(I ordered the burrito (chicken and steak) which came with rice and beans and
They actually gave me beef instead of steak, both burritos has very soggy tortillas and the beef had a mushy consistency and kind of tasted like corn beef wth!
The chicken was just disgusting it was soo salty and barely had any meat in it I only had a bite of it and threw everything away I’m so pissed !!
Go to Puerto Villarta it’s a gorgeous restaurant and you can get the same thing for the same price but it’s actually good food no soggy mess!

Great little joint. Awesome chips and dip when we sat down. Then frozen berry margaritas. Mmm
Empanadas are to die for. Go for the ground beef.
Skirt steak with eggs, mushrooms, fries, rice and avocado for the main event. Bloody lovely.
All in all… A must try for all you Mexican lovers.
