El Monte Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in White Bluff

We’ve eaten here twice now. The first time was about two years ago and we were not the least bit impressed. Food was very bland and even the salsa was like watered down tomato sauce with stale chips. It was so bad we vowed to never go back but then a band we knew was performing there recently and we decided to go to support them and were also optimistically hoping that with their recent remodel maybe the food would be better too. Not!! I ordered the taco platter and my husband ordered a burrito. I was disappointed that my taco shell tasted like soggy cardboard when I had asked for crispy flour. And the meat seemed almost fake and watered down in consistency but I was hungry. Anyway, I hadn’t taken more than three bites of my first taco when I felt a long hair in my mouth. And I’m talking already half way down my throat, gagging me, long…. Well, obviously my meal was ruined but for the sake of salvaging our evening I tried to make the best of it and focused on the rice and beans and chips and salsa. Also, we had decided to just have water with our dinner and I don’t know where it came from but it tasted absolutely horrible! My husband said it tasted like sewer water based on what he knew sewage smells like and I had to agree. Anyway….I hadn’t planned on saying anything about the hair but when our waitress brought us our bill I opted to nicely mention it more as an fyi so she could let the cooks know…. So imagine our shock when she burst out laughing! Not a single I’m sorry or any assurance that she’d communicate this to their establishment…. Just burst into laughter and then put the electronic bill under my nose waiting for me to select a tip amount. I thought hell no! She may not have prepared my food but responding the way she did was a slap in the face so I promptly selected the “no tip” option and told her it was because of that. And to think I was just going to keep quiet, smile, give a dutiful tip and chalk it up to another disappointing dinner. At least now we can honestly say we will not...

Not only was the food fantastic, the chimichanga plate was enough for me to have a whole Nother chimichanga for breakfast this morning alongside that I still have rice beans and salad. Plenty chips and we got two separate little salsa cups. which may sound like went to some people, went to me and was like awwe, just that extra little something attention wise, also answered me as to why they asked if it was just two of us eating. These people were great food was awesome, and it was so much cheaper than the one a mile up the road. I meant to say other food, but I got so distracted. Lol also, I will say that most places don’t pay attention to the fact that you’re taking it to go so it will sweat, but this place did. Everything was separated such as: My beans and rice and of course, my salad, especially being separated from my Chungas who were swimming in cheese sauce by themselves. Fiance had steak, fajita nachos and he made them supreme (the salad was separate from that as well). All in all even with cheese dip added on the side, for chips, our...

This is a review from someone who lives in whitebluff and very rarely goes out to eat. This place stiffs you. Im not even joking. Went in with a party of 10 which i know is difficult. Had a decent time but felt rushed the entire time from the staff. Did not get what we ordered. My husband ordered a combo 2. Got a kids meal. My taco salad was literally just chicken and liquid.my mom from out of town ordered a combo 5 beef and ended up with a vegetarian enchilada. My sisters been going there awhile figured we would all go together. Not again 10% off my bill does not make up for not getting what we ordered. Even with a language barrier. We ate our food confused told what we ordered was wgat we got. I don't know why this place had good review watch your ticket. I apparently paid for an enchilada...
