The 24 Best Restaurants in Monterrey, Mexico | Eater

"The name of this upbeat, fun restaurant, which translates to “cow face,” is playfully spelled out in emojis on the menu, and the lovely interior is all light wood, greenery, and lots of natural light. But over in the kitchen, the team works seriously with open-fire cooking. Keep an eye out for tacos tiesos, a dish inspired by tamales regios (northern-style pork tamales). Pork-filled tortillas are fried and doused with three sauces made with guacamole, tomatillo, and red jalapeno. Continue with cachetada de rib-eye, a flour tortilla oozing melted cheese, guacamole sauce, and bits of fried tortilla. You can’t go wrong with any of the well-prepared steaks either, and be sure to wash your order down with any of the natural wines on offer. Last but not least, the guava pie deserves your utmost attention. [$$-$$$]" - Liliana López Sorzano

Service was very efficient. Indoor and outdoor seating. Good ambience, not too loud. Amazing varied menu, everything seemed tasty however portions are most likely to share so it is better to go with someone. I enjoyed the tacos tiesos, good filling and sauces, the lechon empanada was interesting, good sauce as well. Delicious chilaca taco. The guava pie was giant and very tasty. Prices vary, some dishes are a bit pricey but others are cost benefit. A must in Monterrey.

The place is awesome to extremely welldone cocktails and good authentic Mexican food! The service at the bar is exceptional, a big shout out to El Pollo, Sixto and their crew, you guys made my night yesterday! (Thanks for the drinks and the stories. It totally changed my perception about Mezcal and how to drink it properly!) I’ll come back whenever I visit Monterrey again for sure!

My lunch experience here was perfect. Service was excellent and all the meals we ordered were delicious. If you love margaritas, you will enjoy the refreshing Tijuana Margarita. And if mezcal is your preference, the Jamaico cocktail is a good choice. We enjoyed sitting in the air-conditioned glass enclosed patio area which allowed a panoramic view of the outdoors.

I am no fan of overly and unjustified expensive food, I greatly think it is over promised and under delivered. But boy oh boy I have never eaten in a place like this so delicious before. 1. It is homey and fancy at the same time, things that don’t usually go together. But I can’t believe how enjoyable it was to be there for a third time. The place is so interesting, I rarely wasn’t looking around. 2. The food is just impeccable and original. Even though it is hard enough to achieve a flavorful dish, to achieve it in such and original and creative way, just left me flabbergasted. 3. The service is just “extra”. But not in a bad way, in an incredibly enjoyable way. The waitress got out of her way to explain to my friend how the fish was brought fresh, and was answering questions for almost five minutes, and she did it with smile. Also, the waitress knew exactly what she was selling. She was more of a connoisseur than a waitress! She new words I had to look up in order to understand the description of the flavor of the sauce of a dish, and I am a very literate person in “food” language. 4. The valet parking was perfect, almost no delay, thanks to the proximity of the parking place. Disclaimer, the pictures were taken the first time I went. The second and third I didn’t had my phone with me. And didn’t have the opportunity to take a picture of the menu. But believe me, it is expensive, be prepared.
