Have been ordering burritos and soups to go for over a year now. Everything always comes with chips and really yummy salsas/sauces you can choose at pickup. Service is always friendly, operational hours long and food amazing! I really appreciate all the burrito choices as well as super easy to navigate website you can order from.Vegetarian options: a lot of vegetarian options on the menuDietary restrictions: can sub flour for spinach tortillasParking: plenty of parking (street and by Target)Kid-friendliness: huge kid menuWheelchair accessibility: there's a ramp

The redeeming factors is the service. The breakfast food was just not good. For a bistro, and a breakfast that was a little more than 30$ it just did not make the cut. I want to like this place so much ... But it just did not stand out as a great plate of food .

Food has really gone down over the years.Went in on Wednesday and was served an absolute cold mess of a burrito. All of the meat and beans were on one end and the goodies (guac, cheese, sour cream) were on the other.Honestly it gave me so much gas I think I might not have agreed with me if you know what I mean.I don't know what happened. I used to love this place.

Went to this restaurant before and it was absolutely delicious. Came back again tonight after work and it was even better. Great customer service. The taco salads are amazing and the chicken is so juicy. Love this place 10 out of 10. ??

My wife and I went there for lunch and ordered 2 tacos each.BIG mistake.our tacos came and each of our tacos had COLD meat. We returned the order and decided just get1 each now because we had got a bad vibe but needed to e something while running errands. The tacos came without the cheese we pad for. We questioned and the cooks told the waiter/ register person that the cheese was on the bottom.What a line if cap as we both searched for it .NOTHING! Sorry to say we ate the NASTY tacos , we were starving by then but both vowed NEVER to step foot in there again. Too bad , we need some REAL mexican food around here.

The food and service are great. If you're gonna order food for lunch, you can call the moment you leave your job and food will be ready by the time you get there. I recommend the fish. Oh yeah, they are very generous with the food portions.

They got my order wrong twice. When I requested a correction, Cook wants to argue even though I had the receipt. I got NO refund and will never go there again!

The worst burrito I have ever had. I oder a chicken with Pico, cheese, sour cream and guac.....none of those items were in the burrito. It was just dry rice and beans.... spent time digging through it to find those items. No luck. It seems this happens alot of times here at this place. Also, felt they forgot my oder.... waited a long time (dining in) while other tables served quickly and before me after arriving much later. A recommendation is stay away, they need to close.

Montecristo Taqueria's authentic Mexican flavors and warm atmosphere make it a must-visit restaurant for all taco lovers.

A while back they removed their Great salsa bar, with many types of tasty salsas that had previously made them well-known in the area! With the current situation I don't think the salsa bar is ever coming back, which is tragic even if it's somewhat understandable these days.I think they're under some new management recently and now offer 2 types of red and 1 type of green salsa. I still do miss them salad bar with the world's best tasting marinated carrots when peppers and everything else thoughIt's a shame because All their workers always seem very friendly and the food is delicious, but of course like every restaurant the prices have just gone so high that I feel most people are eating out less, even cozy friendly places like this one that serves up some delicious food.

Nice Mexican place with excellent food. Portions are humongous so the price is good. Last time I had their special burrito, which was very tasty but not so special. Nevertheless I highly recommend the place. They have a big advantage, they are open till quite late!
