El Monte Mexican Restaurant

Nice staff, always served fast, clean restaurant and great food! Love the horchata! White Bluff is growing and this one is a staple!

Great Mexican food that really tries to take it next level. The service is solid (never have to worry about an empty drink) and the food is delicious. They're even renovating their building and expanding! What more can you ask for?

Having just moved to the area, we thought we'd give this place a try, but it's the last time we'll darken their door. The salsa tasted like tomato sauce. The shredded beef was questionable as to whether or not it was real meat. The water didn't taste right. The food lacked flavor (bland) and our overall experience was very disappointing, especially after hearing some locals recommending this place.

So far I've had a great experience here and an okay experience! The ambiance is great, pricing is good and overall the food is good. Service is fine, sometimes hard to communicate with the staff. But great overall. Their salsa is to die for!

Solid food, pricing, and portions. Typical Mexican restaurant that had a wide choice of options and great food.

Been coming here for years and ordering mainly takeout. They recently opened in a new location/building and it's so nice and pretty. But the customer service has tanked. I have ordered the same few dishes for my family every visit for years and it is suddenly (since the move) never correct. Every week I speak to the "owner" who "fixes it" but then every week he tells me how this is the first time he's encountered these issues. I am pretty sure the staff all lie to me and tell me they are the owner when I ask to talk to someone. Side note, they provide the tiniest cups of salsa ever. And at this point you're just better off going to literally any of the other 20 Mexican restaurants in this area than wasting tons of time and money ordering from here if you ever expect your order to be as described

We've eaten here twice now. The first time was about two years ago and we were not the least bit impressed. Food was very bland and even the salsa was like watered down tomato sauce with stale chips. It was so bad we vowed to never go back but then a band we knew was performing there recently and we decided to go to support them and were also optimistically hoping that with their recent remodel maybe the food would be better too. Not!!I ordered the taco platter and my husband ordered a burrito. I was disappointed that my taco shell tasted like soggy cardboard when I had asked for crispy flour. And the meat seemed almost fake and watered down in consistency but I was hungry. Anyway, I hadn't taken more than three bites of my first taco when I felt a long hair in my mouth. And I'm talking already half way down my throat, gagging me, long.... Well, obviously my meal was ruined but for the sake of salvaging our evening I tried to make the best of it and focused on the rice and beans and chips and salsa. Also, we had decided to just have water with our dinner and I don't know where it came from but it tasted absolutely horrible! My husband said it tasted like sewer water based on what he knew sewage smells like and I had to agree. Anyway....I hadn't planned on saying anything about the hair but when our waitress brought us our bill I opted to nicely mention it more as an fyi so she could let the cooks know.... So imagine our shock when she burst out laughing! Not a single I'm sorry or any assurance that she'd communicate this to their establishment.... Just burst into laughter and then put the electronic bill under my nose waiting for me to select a tip amount. I thought hell no! She may not have prepared my food but responding the way she did was a slap in the face so I promptly selected the "no tip" option and told her it was because of that. And to think I was just going to keep quiet, smile, give a dutiful tip and chalk it up to another disappointing dinner. At least now we can honestly say we will not be back...ever!

Been there several times, always been great service and great food. Love the Mexican tacos. Wait staff is fast and, courteous.

The food is good. my sis spilt a drink and they were fast and calm. The service is great. The ambiance is pretty for the holidays.
