" Absolutely fabulous! The carne asada was so tender and full of flavor. We also loved the margaritas — a perfect pairing with the meal. The chipotle sauce on everything had the perfect amount of heat. The restaurant has a vibrant decor and friendly atmosphere. The staff seemed happy and engaged, which is always great to see. Definitely coming back on Taco Tuesday! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointingly mediocre, I had heard great things. My meal was bland and uninspired. Service was just okay; I felt like there was a lack of attentiveness. I expected more flavor and innovation, and unfortunately this wasn't it. The décor is nice, but food should always come first. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was fairly average. I found the food satisfactory but not memorable. The tacos were decent but could use more seasoning, and the guacamole didn’t taste fresh. The ambiance was lively, which I appreciated, but I left feeling like something was missing. The service was attentive though, and I might consider returning to try different dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Good but not great. I expected more from a place with a good reputation. The chips and salsa were tasty, but my main dish didn't live up to the hype. The environment is friendly and inviting, just the food was a bit disappointing. Still, it wasn’t terrible, and I may consider trying it again in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" There's something magical about Monte Alban! Each visit feels like a fiesta with the colorful decorations and vibrant atmosphere. The staff members treat you like family, and their food always comes fresh. I'm a big fan of their tamales. Highly recommend trying the flan as well; it's heavenly! " (*Curated Review*)

" When you want genuine Mexican food, this is the place to be! Before we ordered, our server took the time to explain menu items and highlight personal favorites. I loved the enchiladas; they were clearly made with fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was super lively, perfect for family nights or casual outings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather mixed experience at Monte Alban. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring that our drinks were full and our needs were met. However, my burrito was pretty bland, and the portion was not very satisfying. I really enjoyed the chips and salsa, which were fresh and crispy, but the main dish just did not hit the mark for me. It's a nice place for a casual meal, but I hope they can elevate the flavor profile in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
