" I visited Monterey's Little Mexico for the first time, and while the service was exceptional, the food left much to be desired. I ordered the carne asada, but it felt more like a standard fare than anything that would blow my mind. The tortillas seemed pre-packaged, and I expect more from a place that prides itself on Mexican cuisine. Overall, a decent meal but not what I was hoping for when it comes to authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful experience at Monterey’s! The guacamole was fresh and tasty, and the quesadillas were perfectly crispy. Our waitress was attentive and the ambiance was lively without being too noisy. It’s the perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends. I will certainly be making this a regular outing!
