    $ Pretty Darn Good!! So glad we finally tried this place. So much to pick from on the menu... It's so hard to find good rice and beans in a combo. Aguas were on point... Will be back to try more plates. Oh, service was friendly and attentive too. TY

    Great spot right off Highway 35 serving up delicious Latin breakfast (El Salvadorian themed). I had the beef fajita omelet and it did not disappoint. 2 kids had pancake plates and my wife had breakfast tacos.

    Monterrey Café is truly a prime “hole-in-the-wall” gem! My family and I stumbled upon it while driving down the highway after finding it online, and I’m so glad we did. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and made with love you can taste in every bite. The service was just as impressive, friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Sometimes the best places aren’t the big flashy restaurants, but the hidden spots like this that make you feel at home. Definitely worth the stop!
