Cazadores Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Monticello

The food here is your typical Tex-Mex for Indiana, which isn’t going to blow you out of the water or anything but it was a decent family meal. For 6 people I paid 88 with one drink. The service however was abhorrent. I have worked in the food industry for a long time, I don’t even know if I’ve written a bad review for a restaurant. We were seated next to a leaking ceiling, I didn’t even know until my back was wet and my significant other told me. We were there an hour a fifteen minutes for something that we were looking to be in and out. We were seated and then it took over 10 minutes to get a high chair and another 10 before we even had drinks taken and then even longer before any chips and salsa. I watched a guy inhale a whole basket and have a refill that was seated around the same time while my kids were restless and hungry. We ordered our food and they brought everything except one meal (and cold queso, ew), we asked for salt and pepper, another time lapse passed until I waved down a lady for napkins and said we’re waiting on another meal too as everyone was finishing. Then the waitress came with the meal, no salt and pepper, didn’t matter though because everyone else was done except my elderly grandma whose food was delivered last. I would like to add that a 6 and 4 had been fed as we sat, there was only another 4 and 2 - 2 tops with 3 waitresses. If you know food you know that’s absolutely bonkers. I stayed to let her try to enjoy my meal while my significant other left with my children. When she was ready (because she’d rather just finish it in the car at this point), I personally went up to ask for the bill and the manager. When she came up, who I assume is the owner because while we were waiting to be served she was out socializing with her baby on the floor, she only gave excuses no discount, no actual apology besides she knows it’s not too great. On the way out I accompanied my grandmother to the restroom, where while I was waiting, out of a room close to us a baby girl came out, maybe a year old, and was messing with the toy machines. I heard a movie and saw a dark room with kids laying down and I coerced her to go back in there as I didn’t believe it safe for her to wander, as I finally convinced her to go back in, the same woman waved her in and thanked me.

I’m a mother of three, I manage a business, I get it. But with such big elaborate decorations and fixtures you could spend more money in better staffing and maybe some help with the kids.

Don’t expect anything except below standard service and standard Tex mex or you’ll be...

oh yeah it's real nice looking place when you walk in now when i sat down there was barely another living soul around so it should not have taken as long as it did to make the food though I'm sure they had a hard time searching for a fresh rat to make the meat not only did their coffee arrive in a greasy unwashed cup filled with what i believe to be is pubes it tasted like it was dirty water squeezed out of a sponge and warmed up the food oh dear mother marry tasted worse then the rotting colon of a dead skunk on the side of the road of the inbred ridden town it's in. I would rather vomit and re-eat that then ever have to choke down the sorry excuse of dog vomit on an unwashed dish that i had to slither down my sorry throat that day as a matter of fact id rather cut my nipples off with a dull blade then ever step foot into that hillbilly infested town ever again. If you have any common sense or intelligent thought in your worthless human brain please for the love of taste avoid this craphole unless you feel like becoming violently ill. the only possible explanation for this place to still be in business can only be drug related and pounds of cocaine in the back the towns notorious for it's meth issues notice all the toothless rednecks I would rather have a meth addicted monkey bake my food out of bleach and random household objects at least i wouldn't have to live with the fact i ever walked into that awfuly inviting but...

My husband and I ate at this restaurant a few nights ago after a long hiatus. I noticed they had redecorated the walls and recovered the torn booths. Very nice. We decided to order the "Daily Special" which happened to be carne asada, something I am quite familiar with because I make it often. When the food was placed on the table, I was surprised to see a large hunk of thin-cut beef not sliced before serving. The over-cooked beef (the waiter said it was "sirloin"), was extremely tough - had to smother it in sour cream and salsa just to swallow it. The guacamole, served in tiny side containers tasted like it came out of a plastic bag (it probably did). I complained to the waiter about how tough the meat was and he seemed to be genuinely apologetic; however, he did not offer to replace it with a more palatable choice. Very embarrassing for him. If you can't get the "Daily Special" right, what CAN you get right? We spent $50.00, including the tip for 2 "specials", one beer, and one ice tea. Taco Bell would have been a better choice! As we walked out the door, I remembered why it had been 3 years since we had eaten there. Back to our favorite local (and authentic) Mexican restaurant...
