**A HIDDEN Gem** We love to find those “hole-in-the-wall” places with excellent service and delicious food!! Our young waitress couldn’t recommend which margarita by taste (she is underage) but went above and beyond to show us the different sizes available. I ordered a frozen with salt. To my surprise, the salt had a little spice/heat to it and I liked it!! I ordered a quesadilla that was cheesy and delicious with a homemade tortilla. Confirmed with the waitress that the tortillas were hand made by her mom. Wow it makes a difference!! Most definitely will eat here again and highly recommend!!

If you are trying to decide to eat here or not…. do yourself a favor and DO IT! By far the best Mexican food I have ever had. Definitely try the Cantarito. I’m not a huge lover of Margarita’s and thought I’d try the Cantarito…. turned out it was a wise decision! It was great! Oh, and I can’t forget their guacamole was ahhhhmazing!

Tried it because it’s more highly rated than similar restaurants in Monticello. Maybe ok for takeout but definitely no place to dine in.

I have nothing but good words to say about this restaurant. I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants before but this is what you would call AUTHENTIC Mexican food. I ordered fajitas and they were so delicious. The staff here is great. A younger girl served me and she was so attentive and polite. Prices are very fair (especially with inflation) and the cantarito drink in the clay cup is amazing. This has to be the best Mexican restaurant in town!

I would give this less than one star, but one is a minimum. Let me start that we came in on a Sunday afternoon, and there was only four tables in the place filled. One table was a group of 12, I’ll give them that. We sat down as instructed per the waitress, and waited and waited and waited. Then a very dry young man came over and just stared at us with his ticket book. We gave him our drink order and told him to come back. We were looking over the menu. A young girl came to take our order. Then we sat and waited and waited and waited. Let me say that we did have chips and cheese delivered to the table, both of which were very warm at the most. The chips tasted like they were probably a week old. Anyway, we placed the order and the food came and again it was just warm. My husband burrito did taste good but my dish was just warm. Their ice tea is not brewed, it’s out of a machine so be warned. Anyway when the check came it was higher than the menu prices. My husband had two margaritas which on the menu were to be $4.25. He was charged 596 for each one. The young man, with a very dry attitude, stated that there was a sign on the door, saying that there had been a increase in food prices. He refused to adjust the bill. Anyway, on the way out, I looked for that sign, and it clearly states that the food prices were higher, but that excluded drinks. Anyway, we will never be back here and just wanted to warn people that there is a sign on the door, but nothing mentioned on the table. The sign is about 6 foot up so if you’re short like me, you don’t see it. I don’t like surprises. And according to another poster, this is the best Mexican in town, which doesn’t say much if it’s the best.

One of the best restaurants in town! Service was excellent, and let me just say that the fajita I ordered was one of the best I’ve had. Even with the pricing fluctuations that I’ve noticed at other establishments, I appreciated that the pricing here was fair and true to its proportions. Highly recommend checking out this place for yourself!
