Monte De Rey

I love this place. The food is amazing and everyone is friendly. I haven’t had anything there that wasn’t good.

So sorry I stopped here. It was terrible. Can’t believe that it has this rating. The food was so blah:-(It was dirty and would not have eaten if I had seen the sanitation rating. They had three serve safe certificates and the rating was still really low. Keep driving, don’t stop.

First time here and food is amazing! Great service, delicious food and huge drinks. Will be coming back soon!

Service was great. The Shrimp Fajitas were very good! This is one of the few restaurants that when you order Shrimp, you actually get a large amount. No complaints! I would most definitely encourage anybody thinking about trying this place to do so.

Best thing was the staff. They are quick. Food just didn’t do it for us tonight. Even the chips seemed greasy. Did get free dessert though. Taco Bell just across the parking lot.

Good food. Today’s service was a little lacking. But overall things were good and friendly.
Chips are always fresh and tastee.

Great lunch! Started with the guacamole dip. I wish it would have been more avocado than sour cream, however it was still good. Had the #8 combo plate, the tamale and enchilada were delicious. Came out very hot which I’m a big fan of. Service was very quick and friendly. I recommend and will definitely be back.

Super service!
Amazing choices and the shrimp fajita quesadilla was superb!
Drink choices are fairly decent but this is not a place for wine.
Multi order check out on one ticket which is super for groups paying separately.
We arrived at 6 and no wait, but by 7:00 it was a ½ hour wait.
Even though it was crowded it was not noisy and the service remained excellent.

Yuck yuck yuck !!!
I moved from California to Wilkesboro, for about 2 years and this was the first resaurant i went to when i got there. It was not good at all… salsa like ketchup, not sure if my chicken was in fact a chicken or not…
Long story short i got sick sick sick that night ugh it was soooo bad…
The locals LOVE this place i guess i was used to a little bit more authentic, but next time im in Wilkes and want authentic ill go to Taco Bell… Yeah it was that bad

This place I’m rating high for the service.
I came here with my kid for an after field trip lunch — after another place who confirmed the date, was actually closed that day. So one of the teachers called this place last minute.
We get there (2 classes of pre-​K kids, plus teachers and parents) and they had the kids orders all ready. They were smart enough to know to feed the kids first. My son had his food and I was still looking at the menu.
Then this one guy asked me if I was ready, and I told him my order. He didn’t write it down or anything, and mind you he’s walking back and forth around us, and there’s other parents and teachers ordering too.
In ten minutes and I don’t know if that’s accurate, but I know I wasn’t sitting there going, «where’s my food!?!». He was really quick. He came and placed all the food I ordered in front of me. He didn’t have to even ask, «Who ordered the so so?» He remembered me and my order. I think that’s just awesome — again, especially being surrounded by a bunch of 4 and 5 year olds and teachers and parents during the LUNCH hour.
Paying took a while. There was a long line, but again, there was us, and all the other people who ate their that day wanting to pay. But when I did make it to the cash register, the guy was fast.
Oh the food, you ask? Ok, well my kid ate the cheese quesadilla. That’s saying something because he is a picky eater. If you follow me, you know we always order him chicken nuggets wherever we go, so I was scared when we came here that he’d starve because this was a mexican place and I know they don’t have nuggets. Anyway — he ate it. And they even brought us this fried strawberry dessert, and my kid loves sugar — duh! So he ate that too. He even asked if I could bring him back there when it wasn’t a field trip.
I ordered some spinach thing, but because it’s been so long since we were there and me writing this review, I can’t tell you what it’s called — sorry! But it wasn’t something too memorable but I think that’s only because for me, good mexican food is one that is home cooked and when I was in college, my roomate was mexican, so I went to her house on the weekends often and I think their cooking ruined all mexican for me — especially fast food restaurant mexican food. It’s just not the same as homemade.

This place was great! The were super packed so we took seats at the bar. There was some slight confusion and wait to get our designated waiter but once he got to us everything was really great. The food order came out quick, was very warm in temperature, and very tasty. 3 out of the 4 in our party had the margarita. It was pretty good… they appeared to have their own margarita mix which they first poured then added the tequila. All in all, a really nice experience! Recommend to anyone passing through Wilkesboro or staying in the area… just make sure you get their kinda early if it is Friday or Saturday for dinner!
