Great place!! Typical Mexican atmosphere, with outdoor seating. But the food was exceptional. Dishes you don't see everyday at the typical Mexican restaurant. For example the Burrito con Cameron. The shrimp were actually wrapped in bacon and in the burrito, so good. And the prices were about average. We did not try their specialties, but the cost also seemed to be a bit higher. I would recommend it!

This place is absolutely amazing!!!! I live in the Brier Creek area (nowhere near this restaurant) and there is no longer any decent Mexican food anywhere near Brier Creek. A friend recommended Monterrey Mexican Grill to us and we are so glad she did!! It was absolutely worth the drive for us. My Dad, my husband, and my best friend all ordered burritos. They were giant! They all ordered different burritos and they all raved about how great they were. My husband's burrito was filled with BBQ and Mac and cheese. That sounded so crazy that he just had to order it! He said it didn't disappoint and he would order it again. I ordered the pollo chipotle which was served with rice and beans and tortillas. It was amazing and a huge portion! I took most of it home and ate it over a couple of days. The atmosphere was really cool too! Lots of cool artwork on display. The place was busy but service was still great. We will definitely make the drive again next time we want Mexican food.

For the weary traveler, this is a great late dinner option. The portions are big and the pricing is just right. Don't expect a wait after 9pm, but do expect good food and speedy service. The posole is a meal. Don't think you can order this soup and have room for another dish. You won't! The fiesta nachos are good. It's a mix of chicken and beef and also very filling. The enchilada sampler is another winner. The options were shredded beef, chicken and spinach. The chicken was a little dry but the other two made up for it. Lots of tvs around the restaurant, this is good if you're a soccer fan. Score...

Hands down some of the best Mexican food (outside of Mexico) that I've ever had. I ordered the elote, carnitas dinner and a side of grilled zucchini. My friend ordered a monster burrito that had steak, shrimp, rice, beans, and french fries inside of it with jalapeño bacon. My Carnitas meal was so delicious. The meat was tender, very juicy. The rice had the best flavor, and so did the refried beans. I also love is the meat had that slight crisp on it to show that it has been roasted, but it was not dried out at all. It also came smothered in onions, which is something that I absolutely love. The corn was delicious. It was a squeeze lime juice and that's exactly what I did. The zucchini was just zucchini. Lol. I ordered the fried cheesecake. I can't remember the name of it but it was good. It comes with a side of ice cream as well the coding on the outside has cinnamon and sugar. The dough is crispy. The cheesecake on the inside is still a bit frozen, but it was very good. The service was very quick, literally as soon as we walked in we were greeted within one minute we had complementary chips and salsa on our table. Everyone was very nice and the food was piping hot. 5/5 stars!!

Monterey Mexican grill is as the name suggests a Mexican eatery located in chapel hill North Carolina. My buddy and I was on a small road trip through various small towns in North Carolina when we stopped in the chapel hill/Durham area for the night and devised to grab some Mexican for dinner. The atmosphere and decor here was very nice and fun with authentic Mexican decor along with some really cool murals. The service here was also pretty strong. Our waiter was polite, quick and kept our cups full. You do get started with complimentary chips and salsa which is always appreciated. They had a good favor with a solid kick even on the mild salsa. For entrees I personally went with a Arroz con Pollo which is grilled chicken on a bed of rice and queso. It was just ok. The chicken was a little bland for my liking and it could of used more queso to help with that. My buddy got the Burrito de Nopales and agreed with was solid to ok. Overall it was a good trip and quality dinner with an awesome vibe, good service and solid food.

I enjoyed this restaurant so much after dining with a friend that I returned the next day by myself! This restaurant is a chain but still feels authentic and welcoming. Light music played in the background.Chips and salsa were offered complimentary upon being seated. The wait staff served the salsa from the type of pitcher generally used with maple syrup. Very clever. Be sure to ask for a Mexican Coke made with cane sugar! Very friendly and attentive service at both visits. Ordered chicken fajitas ($16) both times. On my return visit, I revised my order slightly to request extra chicken and less of the peppers and onions, which on the first visit made the sizzling skillet look like a vegetarian delight. If you love cheese and sour cream like me, you'd better ask for sides.The interior is quite pretty with a very nice upholstered banquettes. This restaurant is very large and could accommodate many people during peak dining hours. While I was there, they were serving a large party.There is a large covered section for outdoor dining, which would be perfect for nice weather, and for people still cautious during Covid.Menu prices are for cash payments with the customer absorbing an extra % of the cost to utilize a credit card. I understand it but, haven't seen this outside of gas stations. I'm sure it's harder than ever to run a restaurant with inflation; I'm okay with it.It appears there is a full bar and fruity cocktails offered on a drink menu. I look forward to returning with my spouse and ordering a drink with dinner If you're looking for decent Mexican in a comfortable setting, give Monterrey Mexican Grill a try. Several locations across the triangle region.

The restaurant is vast and the seating is comfortable. There are no old cush-dented seats. Kudos for that! It is the best dressed Mexican restaurant I have ever visited!Service was prompt and consistent through out stay. The menu is varied and I finally opted for a Margarita, of course, and the Pollo Chipotle Chicken dish. It was not bad and I finished it all but it won't become a favorite. I look forward to trying other options when I next visit. Let me add that the menu options are large portions to fit big appetities. Those with lesser appetites will want to take some home for lunch the next day.
