Monterrey Cafe — Restaurant in Port Lavaca

Came for lunch on Friday expecting to have a good meal and left high dissatisfied. The chips were so stale they were practically inedible. My boyfriend was drinking his coke from the can, and it was fine, well than he poured it into the glass of ice they gave him and it just tasted dirty. The Spanish rice was so bland and just not good. The beans were good but not for a price of 35$ for 2 plates. That’s ridiculous for a lunch plate, especially one that doesn’t even fill you up and leaves you disappointed. Never coming...

Nice little place, very homey feel.

The chips and salsa were average

The food came out very hot and in an appropriate amount of time.

The sweet tea was bright and fresh and not oversweet. Above average.

The ground beef taco was average.

The pork carnitas were tender and mildly spiced. Slightly above average.

Refried beans were above average.

Rice was Average.

What makes this a 5 star review is the cheese enchilada. Its simply the best enchilada I've had in...

Hole-in-the-wall had promise until....

The salsa, it was not. More like hot sauce, extremely watery. The chips were bland and stale. The food I ate and my coworker ate was mediocre at best. The rice and beans are okay, but tacos and enchiladas were so-so.

The waitress was very nice and polite.

Prices were ok. And the lunch/dinner menu was limited to about 15 items. For that few items I expected really great food.

Not the worst,...
