Our exotic guac is hard to beat! Avocado, strawberries, mango, goat cheese, and a dash of our homemade habenero salsa make for a guacamole that is a local favorite. If you have never been in for Ladies Night on the first Thursday of every month, you need to check it out! We offer free manicures and chair massages, plus half-priced... More

One of the many appeals to El Monte is that we are just a little off the beaten path. Our location allows for easy access on the southwest corner of College and Prospect, but we are far enough away from the busy streets to allow for a cozy, intimate atmosphere. Whether you are dining with us or just enjoying a... More

Nope, you won't find burritos on our menu! Our menu consists of many wonderful traditional dishes from interior Mexico, such as the cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork wrapped in a banana leaf) and huaraches (flatbreads loaded with delicious toppings). We also offer a great selection of familiar favorites such as tacos and enchiladas. Thanks so much for the review, and we'll... More

Thanks! It's no coincidence that El Monte and The Rio have two of the best scenes in Fort Collins -- we are owned by the same people. I have to agree that the steak & enchilada is a terrific dish, and it is great with a top-shelf margarita! Thank you for the review, and we'll see you next time. More

I would like to offer a sincere apology that your experience at El Monte was not a good one.

We feel that our happy hour is one of the best deals around... More

Our convenient location provides our customers with plenty of parking and an intimate setting, which we find is a nice change from the crowded establishments in... More

We like to think that we bring a unique cuisine to Fort Collins. Our owners have spent a great deal of time in Mexico, including a trip to attend cooking school with Rick Bayless in Oaxaca, so our menu includes many authentic dishes from interior Mexico. You won't find chile rellenos like our anywhere else in town. Thank you for... More

Thank you! We are awfully proud of our guacamole. We are firm believers in using fresh, local produce and organic groceries whenever possible. Making our guacamole to order is just one example of the extra steps we take to ensure a remarkable dining experience. We are glad that we are in your top 5, and we look forward to seeing... More
