MonteMar: Reviews & Ratings
Very well done Salmon that paired well with the mashed potatoes and asparagus. Servers were friendly and the ambiance was comfortable. Will be back soon!
Food and service were great. The paella was fresh and delicious. We will definitely return.
Love Love Love this place! Beautiful aesthetics, friendly service and man ol' man the food, the food, the gooooood food! We were headed to a local favorite in the area and decided to stop off and try this place out and they did not disappoint. I ended up ordering the garlic chicken with steamed vegetables and sweet plantains, amazingly good. We also ordered the creamy chicken with asparagus and sweet plantains and for appetizers we ordered the empanadas. The shrimp empanadas were the best. To drink, we ordered the El tamarindo Margarita, we had to send it back because the syrup was a little bit overpowering, so they remade it and it was great! Friday night karaoke was fun, even though we couldn't understand anything that was said because it was done in Spanish, but we still had a good time. This place will definitely enter our rotation of places to eat in the area.
So last night we decided to do Latin. Let me tell you what a great decision.. As we enter the establishment, we were both greeted with smiles. so we both decided to order two margaritas which were OK could've been better. And for our appetizer, we ordered two chicken and one shrimp empanadas, Which were delicious.. around this time they start setting up for karaoke. Which turned out to be a great experience since neither one of us are Latin. Now on to the entrées. I had the creamy chicken with mushroom sauce and babe had the garlic chicken. To be honest with you, they were similar and taste.. But very good with lots of flavor. I thought it was a cool spot to chill with a different type of vibe. I would have given it five stars, but the drinks threw me off a little bit. I would definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for something different and it's quite nice inside also.
I stopped by here on a Saturday and the food was very good, the menu is very big and there is a variety to choose from. I'm very happy it had a wide selection of Latin food! I had dessert as well and it was delicious! The service was good. And the overall place was well decorated and it had a nice vibe, it's super cute inside!!!
Personally, I was curious and not to sur to come to this place, but had to be there for Juan's HS Graduation on 12/15/2023 at 7:30pm and was really surprised! The food is great, I had the guacamole chicharron appetizer and it was fantastic. The food is tasty, well presented and wonderful portions. The variety of dishes was amazing, from sushi to carne asada. from Colombian dishes to Dominican options. Drinks: I had the passion fruit margarita with black salt on the rim and it was delish. Totally recommend this place!!!
