La Reynita — Restaurant in Nuevo León

Whenever I visit Monterrey I like to eat in La Reynita once a week. They have good food, usually good service and fair price. It always puzzled me why they ask my name when they find me a table and because I don´t like to share this info normally I give names of personages translated into Spanish. Once I was Gregorio Casa (Gregory House) and another time I was António Fuerte (Tony Stark). Today I decided to say my name and I got a nice surprise. The lady asked me where I was from and when she acknowledged that I live in an European country she asked if I would like to try their secret plate based on the concept of Europe meets Mexico. I asked what it was and she said that they call it "Pastor Mix". In this moment the image of a Kebab Mix with Pastor meat came very fast to my mind. This was a genius idea. Simple but smart. Base of fries, pastor meat and chipotle mayo sauce. Can´t fail. No salad but who eats the kabab mix for the salad anyway? I recommend everyone to ask for this.

The steak tacos were slightly better, but the grease was still overwhelming.

The service remained indifferent, slow, and just overall mediocre. For the price we paid, it was way too overpriced, and given the quality, I would have much rather eaten somewhere else—cheaper, better quality, and with service that didn’t make me feel like the restaurant was doing me a favor...

It's a great place to go for a few beers and watch the football game.

I can say that the starter was great as well as the tortilla chips, the starter cocktail was very rich (only if you can't eat spicy, tell the waiter why they put it in the cocktail)

Now the salmon was delicious, the right portion and not spicy, good in my case because I can't eat it As for the dessert, which is truly delicious,

I ordered a very good crunchy and to close the night an excellent gin and tonic.

The attention 10/10 very attentive and made suggestions that...
