Monte De-Rey — Restaurant in Walkertown

My family and I tried this place out for the first time. We really enjoyed the interior decor. The chairs were carved and painted, the tables had nice paintings, and the wall art was fitting too. The waitstaff was very courteous and prompt as well and we liked how they worked as a team. I ordered the barbacoa tacos which were true to form authentic and delicious. They were served with fresh onion, cilantro, salsa picante, and rice with beans on the side. The salsa for the tacos had a great flavor, but was very spicy so it was used in moderation. My father ordered the California burrito which was served in the traditional wet burrito style, smothered in cheese dip and topped with sliced avocado.

While my personal taste might not align with the majority who love this place, I believe there's potential for improvement. It's a place with promise, but a few adjustments in the kitchen could elevate the dining experience for...

I ordered something from the vegetarian menu via Uber Eats and specified in the notes of this order that I could not eat cheese and wanted the Vegeterian Combo H to be made without cheese and to be made vegan. Mexican restaurants usually have no problem doing this and are happy to do this.

I get my order and it’s filled with cheese, both on top of the refried beans and also mixed in the dish. Nothing in the menu said that this even had cheese, but I went through the extra effort to make sure this was made without cheese.

This was extremely expensive and I cannot even eat it now. I am visiting from out of town, and got in late from the airport when I ordered this. No other places are open now. So now I am going to bed on an empty stomach.

Paying attention to details matters and unfortunately, this restaurant really...
