Villa Monterrey Restaurant — Restaurant in Garland

The restaurant is in a shopping strip right off of Arapaho/N Garland Ave and Apollo Rd. Family owned shop. We love to support small family owned business when possible so we decided to give this a try.

Food:

We got a steak Gordita and a Stewed Pork Gordita, Hidalgo enchiladas and menudo. For drinks we got lemonade and Tamarind. Gorditas were very tasty and easily my favorite part of our meal. The enchiladas were good as well. The menudo was too smelly for our liking. We’ve had it many times before but this one was too strong. It was a bit off putting.

Price:

Can’t beat the price. Hard to find a restaurant now days that you can get a enchilada plate for $7. Everything was very reasonable price. Our meal cost $20.

Service:

Staff was friendly and food came out quick. No complaints.

Ambience:

Inside is not large but quaint. It’s one of the cleaner small family owned places...

We order food here all the time. The last 3 times our order has been messed up. When I called to let them know about our order the girl was was rude and told me the manager was busy. I told her I would hold. I hung up because no one ever came to the phone. Called back and she put the phone on vm. Finally got a hold of someone and again told the manager was busy. Told her I was on my way up there. Well of the owner manger called me back. Told her what happened she said sorry and she would replace my messed up food. Well when my husband sat down to eat.. His order was wrong. Was suppose to have flour tortillas instead of corn and no green sauce on the enchiladas.. And there was no hot sauce in the bag after my husband asked..Is there hot sauce..oh its in the bag the girl said. Anyway use to enjoy eating here and never worried about our order. Won't be eating...

My wife and I stopped by on a Sunday in order to experience a small Mexican joint. Sadly, they’re closed on Sundays. We returned 5 days later and we are so glad that we did. THIS is authentic, affordable and delicious Mexican food. I loved the green enchiladas and my wife devoured a fajita quesadilla. The chips/salsa that we ordered were freshly prepared- very warm and crunchy with a delicious homemade unique salsa. Only about 8 tables in the place so you might seek an early dinner in order to avoid crowds. We had a 330pm late lunch. I’m going to return to sample their breakfast. The server and manager were so kind and friendly. Please support this neighborhood business if you live in the North...
