Carnitas de la Casa were perfect. Good cold beer and tasty frozen margaritas. Service was on spot. We sat at the bar because it was busy. All in all a great experience.

Good stuff. The fajitas for 2 are great. Service lacked a bit, though. Had to reach over to the service station to get my own to-go box for the leftovers. Waitress disappeared for very long bits of time.

So I came here for dinner one night cuz my friend and I were in the mood for some Mexican. She found this place online so we decided to give it a go. Overall the food here is ok-good for Americanized Mexican cuisine. It's not authentic but we left full and satisfied. The interior was quite nice and comfortable and our server was friendly and good about checking up on us although at times she lacked professionalism and brought the wrong order to our table. We had chips with salsa and queso for our appetizer which was pretty average, nothing out of the ordinary or outstanding. We ordered different combination items. I had a tostada, chalupa, and beef taco supreme style (lettuce, tomatoe, & sour cream). I meal tasted good but each item tasted exactly the same as the other. They lacked diversity from each other and I felt like I had tortilla chips with ground beef, frijoles, queso, topped with lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. I guess you can say it all meshed together the only difference being a taco shell vs a tostada. If you want a more authentic place I highly recommend "taqueria el patron" off of Washington rd. the restaurant itself is smaller than Monterrey but the food and style of food is a lot better and more authentic. Btw, we noticed Monterrey sold candy which was cool but we wondered why they didn't sell the awesome Mexican candies that you can't find in most grocery stores???

I have to say I was very disappointed with this Mexican restaurant. The food seemed like it was from a can and not freshly made. The margaritas we ordered were on the rocks, they were watered down, no flavor what's so ever just like the food. One time only at this restaurant and also the LAST!!! Have to find a real authentic Mexican Restaurant around Augusta, if not I guess I have to cook it at home, being that I'm Mexican!!!!

Okay food (there's no GOOD mexican food anywhere in Ga...I'm from Texas), horrible service. Asked waiter for a spoon so my daughter could eat her rice with more ease, NEVER got it. Was never checked on, asked the host to refill my water. I asked for a bill, waiter brought me a box. Not his fault he can't speak English..but it IS managements fault for not making sure he knows the minimal amount in order to properly serve guests.

Good food and service despite being busy for 5 de Mayo. Plenty of parking. Must have been renovated since the complaints about old tables because all is fine. The Macarena fajitas for two was plenty for all three of us including our hungry teenage son.

This is the first time I hav been to this location in a while. The parking lot does not give one a lot of confidence. We went in and were seated immediately. The place was fairly empty and we were seated at a booth. the booth was large and comfortable. The table was well worn and in need of replacing/refinishing. Chips and salsa were immediately brought out and they were good. The waiter was prompt with our drink order. One thing that I noticed is that they have some pretty good specials. They had 6 hard tacos for $5 for Monday so I gave them a try. The tacos had beef, lettuce, and cheese. I poured some of the salsa on a taco and went to town. They were really good and meaty. I will be surprised if they can keep this deal up. It also appears they have some pretty good deals on other nights as well. I thinnk I will have to make another visit in the near future to try them out. The star I take away is a combination of the parking lot, the table needing to be replaced, and the food didn't all come out at the same time.

Clean, well lit, a little on the noisy side - which isn't a bad thing seeing that it was packed with happy customers. I had the La Macarena for One. They gave me enough food for 3 people. lol Most would take portion size into account when reviewing, but honestly I'm too poor to turn down a pile of extra food. The fajitas were great, served on a sizzling plate with fresh tortillas and sides. My husband had the cheese burrito, and said it was great. I thought it sounded tacky, but it actually looked pretty good. Brother in law ordered from the combination menu, so I have no idea what he got. lol My mother in law got the spinach enchilada, and she loved it. Solid mexican food here. If you're craving that California feel, Monterrey has it in abundance. Oh, and the chips and salsa are BOTTOMLESS. Which is just.... so awesome. I love it when restaurants are generous like that. The servers were attentive, and there are t.v.s on the wall to grab your attention if the conversation dies. All in all, I would go back to try another one of their specialty menu items since the fajitas were delicious. Looks like a fun place to get drinks, and hang out eating bottomless chips while watching the game. I recorded the Full Menu, and our food/experience here on Youtube. youtube.com/watch?v=z2Zv…

We ate here with our best friends when we first moved to Augusta last year. The food was really good. The service was friendly and prompt. The only reason we haven't been back is that we live totally across town. If we are in the area I totally would eat here again! My best friend totally loved the margaritas!

Bland and cheap dining room. Food was just ok . Portions were on the small side and appeared hastily prepared. Nothing special here. Service was good despite having a hundred or so drinking only customers filling the bar and outside patio for Cinco de Mayo.

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
