Montes Mexican Restaurant

Just saw this restaurant after a round of golf. Came here on a Tuesday and they have 99cent tacos, and they are as authentic as they come. The owner Gerardo was super great and let me know they do parties which I definitely will be using. It is a must try!!

Hidden gem in Santa Ana. Excellent food at great prices + Taco Tuesday 99¢ tacos. The owners are very friendly and always provide great service, highly recommend!!!

Absolutely delightful gem. I enjoy the chicken verde and mole dishes. Burritos and other dishes are solid too.

Definitely a hidden gem. Montes Mexican Restaurant is a taco lover's paradise! Their $1 Taco Tuesday deal is unbeatable, offering great flavors and a generous amount of meat in each taco. As someone who craves tacos regularly, Montes has quickly become my go-to spot.The quality and taste of their tacos are consistently impressive, making every visit a enjoyable experience. My favorite is the cabeza taco. FYI their red sauce will burn your mouth! I usually ask for it on the side.

Good food. Nice people. Our party had tacos, burritos, and Chilaquiles . I would eat here again.

Found this place by accident. Drove by and saw a sign that said $.99 tacos. The sign doesnt exactly say Montes, just Restaurant. The restaurant is run by a husband and wife. Its small but cozy.The $.99 tacos are street tacos that are packed with meats. They have alot of meat options. Their red sauce is one of the best sauce I've had in awhile. It was so good, I got 2 containers to go. The best part of this restaurant is that they $.99 tacos almost everyday. Where can you find that now!?!!?Wed-Monday - Happy Hour $.99 tacos from 6pm- 9pmTuesday - $.99 tacos all dayThey also serve other Mexican dishes at reasonable prices.

Literally some of the best Mexican food I've had and definitely the best in the area!

Just like any other cuisine, excellent Mexican food can be found in hole-in-the-wall locations. This newly opened Mexican restaurant is located on 17th street near Santa Ana College and conveniently positioned across the street from Northgate Market. If you bring 18 of your friends, one will have to stand outside. Yes...it's small. You won't just see the kitchen, you'll be in it. Reservations are not accepted, nor needed. There is no salsa bar, Mariachi band, or Corona on draft. Finally, I am not posting a street view photo fearing you may not go. 17th Street is speckled with hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurants for several miles. And with Santa Ana having more than 75% of the 310,000 residents being Hispanic, you can imagine they demand authentic good tasting and fair-priced cuisine. This place fits the bill. The two musts are the double-tortilla street tacos (asada or chicken) and the Mayor Traut (loaded) asada nachos. Just like the Mayor, the nachos are authentic, a bit cheesy, but have it all.While not the place for an intimate date night, baby shower luncheon, or a good pizza, you won't be disappointed if you are looking for a great option north of the border.

Im from Chicago currently here in Cali for work and I decided to stop by to this place and it was super delicious and customer service was fantastic.

I would definitely recommend this family owned restaurant my first bite was a Wooow!!!! Owner makes you feel welcome and appreciated. Come and enjoy a nice home made food. Taco Tuesday for only .99 cents. Can wait to try that. Highly recommended.
