This place was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! We ate at this restaurant today on Cinco De Mayo and we were expecting long wait times, just because of the day and how many cars were filling the lot. Walking in, straight away greeted with live music, people talking loud like a backyard summer bbq atmosphere. Heard alot of locals there. We were seated quickly and the most time spent here was probably looking through the menu at the amazing looking dishes and deciding what to have. Not soon after ordering our meals were on the plate, it felt like 5 minutes had gone by. AND out of the 6 of us that ate here, everyone loved everything. Great food! Great atmosphere! That guac delish! (Visiting from New Jersey)

Love this place. We drive from Bellevue to enjoy this Mexican restaurant. Service is always excellent, and food is really delicious. Super fun vibe ever since they opened up the larger and new dining area. 100% recommend the chocolate chimichanga, you will not be disappointed.

We had lunch on a Friday afternoon in June and it was quick, quiet and comfortable. Everything was great, from the food to the service. My husband and I left full and satisfied. We love El Monte for our fill of strawberry daiquiris and margaritas and all other tasty foods!! Thank you so much for being so close by!
