Taqueria Monterrey

Best tacos in the city! They use fresh, homemade tortillas that are loaded with the juiciest meats. The torta was super soft and delicious. There’s a self-serve station with an assortment of amazing homemade salsas. The owner was so welcoming, it was very clean, and the food came out super fast. I highly recommend this place!

Clean great diverse energy. One of the best rice authentic rice bowls . Picture is Pollo tacos & loaded pollo ( chicken) chips!

Absolutely incredible! The service and atmosphere were outstanding, and I’m so glad we decided to stop here. Being from the West Coast, it’s nearly impossible to find truly authentic Mexican food, but this place nails it. The staff were so welcoming and genuinely kind, and the food was flavorful with perfectly sized portions. I can’t wait to come back! Walking in felt just like stepping into the taquerias back home

As soon as you go inside the Taqueria It feels like an authentic Mexican restaurant. Service was excellent. The food was outstanding. Definitely recommend coming in and trying their food. Support your community.

I was recommended by a Puerto Rican Uber driver to dine here after we spoke about Taquerias in the Rochester area. This one was his favorite. I checked it out and I appreciated the recommendation. I had the Bistec Burrito with chips and salsa for lunch. It felt like a very authentic meal. I look forward to trying their barbacoa and pollo next time.

Let me start with im from California!! Ive been to more than half of the states in the country and this is the best restaurant for authentic mexican tacos. It tasted just like the ones in California I get off the corner. Not just the tacos were great, the flautas, the torta and quesadilla were all great! The owner is a great guy and his attitude, service and food are all top tier! You will not regret eating here! :D

Excellent taqueria. I had a 5 taco meal with 2 beef, 2 pork (al pastor in taste) and 1 beef barbacoa. All were excellent and what I would consider classic street tacos. A very well stocked salsa and condiment bar with fresh cut cilantro, fresh diced white onion and multiple home made salsas and lime wedges to dress your tacos. I enjoyed the refreshing dragonfruit limeade with my taco plate which also comes with freshly grilled onions and cubed potatoes. It seemed for a few minutes I was transported to the Southwest where this type of late lunch seems to be readily available. Definitely a place to frequent as I love a good plate of street tacos. Most definitely recommend. Very nice owners trying to enhance the food atmosphere in Rochester.

Let's start with the basics; The restaurant is clean, bright, and has plenty of easy access parking on both sides of Culver, as well as the huge adjacent lot off Atlantic. Now for the food...I have only tried the loaded chips, what others would call nachos. All the ingredients were fresh, well balanced and tasted great, without being too salty! The chips are house made, fresh, and crunchy. There is a complimentary self serve salsa bar with numerous types of salsa, pickled jalapeños, chopped onions, limes, and more. Everything on the bar was full, fresh, and kept spotlessly clean. I suggest ordering a side of the excellent house made chips to go with whatever salsas you choose. I will certainly be returning to Taqueria Monterrey, and I look forward to working my way through the rest of the menu!

Very cozy, bright, and authentic Mexican restaurant! They make each dish as it's ordered so nothing sits. Salsa bar! Great food. Very attentive staff. Will be going aga

Don't let the looks of the place deter you from enjoying an excellent Mexican meal. The place is small with 5-6 tables but super clean with a great counter eating area at the windows. We enjoyed the tacos, quesadilla (both with a side of beans and rice) and chips/ salsa/guac. The bistec steak quesadilla was well seasoned and tender. The portion was very large. The taco dinner is 5 tacos. They can also be ordered a La carte. 2 tacos was plenty. The barbacoa was very flavorful. The trompo was good but paled compared to the barbacoa. The chips were crisp (not greasy) and some of the best guac we've had. Homemade salsas are available at the topping bar. This is our new favorite place!

Prepare your taste buds for an extraordinary journey to Monterrey, Mexico without leaving town! This hidden gem, run by a charming young couple straight from Monterrey, offers an unparalleled authentic taco experience that will leave you craving more. The star of the show? Their Barbacoa tacos. Savory, tender meat marinated to perfection, accompanied by grilled onions and potatoes - a true regional tradition that transports you straight to the streets of Monterrey. The attention to detail in every element of these tacos is simply outstanding. What sets this taqueria apart is their commitment to authenticity. Everything is made from scratch using genuine ingredients, resulting in flavors that are pure, bold, and unforgettable. The condiments bar is a feast for the senses, featuring an array of fresh ingredients that allow you to customize your tacos to your heart's content. But it's not just about the food - the owners themselves elevate the entire experience. This husband and wife team are the epitome of gracious hosts, humble and welcoming, making you feel like a guest in their home rather than just another customer. I can't emphasize this enough: stop whatever you're doing, cancel your dinner plans, and run - don't walk - to this Mexican culinary paradise. Your taste buds will thank you for this mind-blowing gastronomical adventure. Trust me, once you've experienced these Barbacoa tacos, you'll be planning your next visit before you even leave the restaurant! This place has only been open a month. I have waited my entire life for an authenticate Mexican restaurant that is NOT Tex-Mex and stuck to it's proud Mexican heritage. ¡Buen provecho!

Authentic Mexican food with very nice employees! Please make sure to patronize this place as it's one of the VERY FEW authentic Mexican restaurants in Rochester. Enjoy!

This place is such a gem! New favorite Mexican food in roc. Authentic and delicious, the corn tortillas are incredible! Aqua Fresca & tacos just like in the food I had traveling in Mexico!

Very authentic. Great food service and ambiance. Self serve salsa bar is great. Best barbacoa in roc

We loved it there! Delicious food and cheery owners! We ordered many things and everything was wonderful. Guacamole? Quesadillas, tacos!
