Taqueria El Monte

My husband and I brought my mother in law and I to eat here for mother's day because we wanted to try the new taqueria in Dinuba. Also, because our other restaurant closes at 3pm and I get off at 3:30 and we usually don't get into Dinuba until 5pm. I was going to order the shrimp tacos, but one sign said $4.59 per taco and another said $3.99. Nonetheless, I did not want to pay $4-5 a taco when I could get them in Fresno for cheaper. I ordered the grilled steak plate with rice and beans. The rice and beans really lacked flavor. I never salt my food and actually had to salt and pepper my rice and beans and did ask for their spiciest salsa since the very small sauce bar was empty. Our cashier brought me one and I wish she would have brought me a few because I needed some flavor for my food. The salsa also had no flavor, just plain with a little heat. My steak was okay. I've had a similar dish at Hacienda Tequila in Clovis, the Carne Asada y Mas and this dish couldn't compare. The handmade tortillas were good though. My husband and mother in law ordered quesadillas and they enjoyed their quesadillas. They got their guacamole on the side and I loved the guacamole. The soda from their machine was so good. I feel that it is a little pricey and because of that price, instead of me being the only one getting my food on a nice plate with a napkin n silverware, my husband and mother in law should have gotten their food on a nice place and silverware. Instead, their food was brought out on paper plates and I wished they would have offered silverware and napkins to my husband and mother in law. It was mother's day after all. The decor is plain and out of date, but hopefully, they can update soon, especially with those prices. Other than that, I'll give them another try, and my review might change, but probably won't order rice and beans.

I won't be coming back here. I ordered two tacos that were way over cooked. The staff was nice but the food was to over priced for the flavor it lacked!

This place is soooo good. They have so many options and the place is really nice. I got the tacos and it's hard to find good tacos in Central Valley but this place is to good. So many options on beverages as well. The bathrooms are very clean. I don't live in the area but I would definitely go to it again. If it was near me , I would always good. Next thing to try is the Tortas because they looked bomb diggity bomb

2 stars for customer service which was good but the food and prices are horrible way too expensive for a taqueria plus they serve expired drinks 13 dollar nachos no thank you I'd rather drive to don pepes in Fresno 8 dollars and way better

Handmade tortillas. I've gone two separate times once for dinner and once for breakfast. For dinner, I had some tacos, which were a little on the small side, especially for the price. The tortillas were also a little cold and but the meat was good. For breakfast, I had the sausage breakfast burritos which was decent. The only issue I had was the potatoes weren't cook enough. Hopefully they work out the kinks, but I'll probably try the place a few more times.

This I my favorite taco place in town. The tacos are amazing. The flavor is perfect. Just a little pricy but other than that I really recommend this place.

It's good food, but overpriced. Every time I go they never have what I want. Don't go with a plate in mind because they might not have it.

My asada tacos were really good with the homemade tortillas. The salsa was fresh and tasty! Definitely coming back. You guys have to try this place!

The service was really nice and the environment was really nice and clean but doesn't way out that the food was just really bland and way overpriced.

The environment was comfortable and cute but the asada was kind of burnt, the rice didn't have much flavor, and I think it was way over priced for the quality of the food. The service was really good they were very nice, but I wouldn't recommend.
