Monterey's Little Mexico - Mexican restaurant in Alvin - 410 S Gordon St, USA

Cecilia was a fantastic server- the food was out promptly, and very good- the green sauce with the chips was phenomenal, and exactly as I remembered from my childhood. The management checked on us several times, even getting us refills when we'd forgotten to ask. Everyone was genuinely friendly and great So glad we came

The food was great, the atmosphere was nice and those waiting on us were also available as needed! Left of one star because our group would have liked an inside smoking area, but none of course. There is a patio to sit, eat, drink, and smoke but hey ... it's wayyy too cold!

Love this place. We've had 1 issue with a server not being attentive and never came to check on anyone. We literally had to get up from the table to refill our own drinks and chips. The guy servers are the most attentive! 👌 Food is usually spot on with what we like to get, and we know when they have a new cook! Great place!

Larger party (10,) but the food wait from the order to setting it out was a whole hour (Saturday 5pm.) We didn't have cocktails. A lot of the food was barely warm. The waiter was very apologetic. Edit: I forgot, there was hair in my drink. I have nearly a buzz cut. This hair was 5 inches.

The food and drinks took a little longer than what I would expect based on the crowd. The food was cooked a little more on the done side which is exactly how I like it. I liked the red salsa better, which is unusual for me.

What a delightful little place! A flight of margaritas was only $5.99 and it was fun to try a few different flavors. The food was hot and fresh and the sopapillas were the freshest, most delicious sopapillas we’ve ever had! Rayden was our server and he was so friendly and helpful. 5 stars all around!!

First of all our waiter was so sweet and made my sister and I not want for nothing!! So attentive and thoughtful. The food was great and we enjoyed it very much. We hope the restaurant stays there forever !!

Went in about 1 PM on a Wednesday. Two tables had people in them...the rest of the place was empty. I asked to sit at a table, was told I could sit anywhere, when I started to sit at a table, I was told to sit in a booth. Should have left then. Waitress did not even take my drink order OR give me a menu... told me MY waitress would be right with me....Should have left then. My waitress finally showed up, asked what I wanted to drink. Went off to get my half n half tea with NO ice. Came back in a bit with tea WITH ICE, still no chips n salsa and NO MENU. Should left then... She asked if I was ready to order, I said no that I needed a menu and asked if they served chips n salsa. She said, "Oh yes". Went to get the chips n salsa and I figured a MENU. She brought chips n salsa and asked IF I was ready to order...I said I need a menu. She laughed and went off to get the menu. Should have walked out then. Ive now been in this place that is almost empty 20 + min and still have not placed my order. Should have left, BUT their salsa was top notch, so I was trying to convince mysrlf to stay. Finally placed my order...2 ground beef enchilladas & 1 cheese enchillada, with rice and charro beans. Food came and I asked for MORE salsa. I also had to ask for silverware...as she was walking away. She laughed and said "Oh you need a fork." She brought me 1 fork... Remember this place is near empty and I am this waitress only customer. Should have left then. More salsa showed up when I was about half finished eating. I asked for more tea... I finished eating most of my food...and waited and waited AND WAITED. Two new customers came in and I flagged that waitress down and asked for my check. She finally shows up and asks if I NEED anything ? I said check please. My check came, and it had my meal and a COKE...coke was $3.99. I got her to come back by waving both arms in the air. I questioned the coke and not tea figuring she hit the wrong button. She said all drinks are the same price. I paid the $19 for lunch....left NO TIP. Wrote a little note on the check about the poor service and maybe she should consider a different profession. Salas was geeat...if and when you could get it. Food below average...charro beans were watery and had zero flavor and were luke warm. Ground Beef enchilladas were below average..and I cant say how the cheese was, since I got 3 ground beef enchilladas..and they were NOT HOT. So IF YOU are thinking of stopping DO NOT. Turn around and go back to McDonalds or the Busy Bee, but DO NOT GO IN Monterrey Little Mexico. Overpriced below average food, price gouging drink prices and non existent service. This little place on South Gordon in Alvin will never get another $ of mine...even though I loved their salsa, especially the green.
