After reading the reviews here, I and the family were excited to go to this restaurant. Perhaps because I am originally from Texas, my expectations are quite high. The evening started with free salsa and chips. The chips were great, but the salsa was average.. It was runny and really did not have a great deal of flavor. I ordered... More

I have been here at least 20 times between the Webster Location and the new Penfield location. It has just enough of a Tex Mex flare to make the food interesting while still retaining the real Mexican qualities. For those that like spicy food, try the Habenero Menu.

Good food at good prices, this one is located on Empire Blvd. in Webster. Service was fine, and menu selection had nice selection. Atmosphere was fast food, sometimes music too loud. Unlimited chips and salsa. Nice place for family and food.

Stopped in for lunch on Tuesday. This place has an extensive menu and very good food. The atmosphere is reminiscent of fast food establishments, but service was very good.

This one is located on 2245 Empire Blvd. I've also eaten at the Irondequoit restaurant. Smaller there. The Webster facility is a bit nicer, IMHO...good food. Mostly authentic. In the very best sense, it has "the usual" fare...I don't recall any house specials that set it apart. It is VERY good Mexican food. I had carne asada tacos...good portions...good beer.... More

Great restaurant, seated quickly, waitress was very friendly and attentive. Food was very delicious. Drinks great as well, had to have a strawberry daiquiri, which was very reasonably priced. Food priced well, nothing too pricey on the menu. Will definitely return again!

this place is far better than you would expect it to be. My favorite here is the tacos diablos. The food is just plain good, the waitstaff has always been lovely and not overbearing.

I ate at the new Monte Alban restaurant in Penfield today, and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the meal. (It's located at 2160 Penfield Road, Penfield, in the location of the old Dutchess Diner.) I had a chimichanga (spelling) made with beef that was actually pretty good. It came with refried beans and guacamole sauce, both of... More
