We want to like Monterrey, because it is close to home, authentic and has some of the nicest and friendliest wait staff you could ever wish for... Juan, Lohio, Julian, Luis and Renato are the best and we so wish they were working in a place more deserving of their efforts. Now for the food and atmosphere... -- Inconsistent but... More

Monterrey Mexican Restaurant started 1st of now 80 locations here about 1975, as I recall. The inside has not changed since. It is in dire need of updating inside. El Toro used to have # 1 on Buford Highway top of hill by Peachtree DeKalb Airport I ate at every week at Dresden Drive. Then, the chef Raul Leon was... More

Had the enchiladas but they were a little tough. Salsa is good. There did seem to be too much salts. Good menu .

Wonderful food, courteous staff, relaxing atmosphere. The place but not fancy-schmancy, but the price was very good. We will be going to Monterrey whenever we are in the area...maybe we'll even go again before this vacation is over...it was that yummy! :)

This is by far the best Mexican Restaurant I have been to in GA. The place is small but very welcoming. The food and service is like no other, its excellent! If you havent been there you must stop by, you wont be dissapointed. Their Chicken Fajitas with a glass of Horchata will have you asking for more.

A quirky little Mexican restaurant located along side Buford Hwy in Doraville. The inside houses a small bar tucked away in the back corner with the remaining floor space is occupied by square tables situated between ceiling columns and rectangular booths along the walls. There is an enclosed patio available for outside seating which is perfect in the warm weather.... More

You just cant beat this place for lunch during the week. The service is friendly and fast! And the food is wonderful! You have to have the guacamole and queso (with jalapenos!) to start with. Then, I recommend either the Speedy Gonzales (taco, enchilada and beans or rice- for under $5) or the lunch fajitas. You will not be disappointed.
