Food is pretty good. Lady cashier was pretty rude and has been on several ocassions. They take phone orders but always pack things to go, so if you are dinning in make sure to let them know or you will get a rude response.

The food was tasty, but basically average. Very good service, though, and the prices were inexpensive.

This is a great restaurant for very good Mexican food I will tell you that right now, it's at least two dollars more for combination plates in Orange county restaurants like this one! And you won't even have half the clean, neat and friendly atmosphere as this little restaurant offers. (Hope this review doesn't make them raise the price) As you can see from the pictures, the food is very good and is generous with portions. And I got sliced lime with my plate! So when other places are giving you lemons, head down to this Montebayyo restaurant where they are keeping the East Los Mexican food tradition alive and well.

My hubby tried this place out during lunch time one day and he brought back an asada burrito for me to try knowing I'd love it. Sure enough, after the first couple of bites I knew this would be a spot we would frequent thereafter. We live on the other side of town, but have been back since my first bite to try the burrito enchilada and a few tacos of cabeza, chicken and asada. All were equally delicious. I also enjoyed their salsa verde, zesty and more on the cilantro herby side of taste. The burrito enchilada was heavy on the sour cream, but we know to ask for less next time. The wait time was a bit lengthy, but I appreciated the cleanliness and how spacious the restaurant is. We'll be back to try the other delicious items on the menu!

i got bistec(steak) ranchero bc i haven’t had it in a while & it really hit the spot plus the presentation was really nice (to me) like they put foil over the entree so it doesn’t spill everywhere.

The food is fresh and delicious. The service is pleasant. We love the combo platters. They have specials per weekday such as Tacos Tuesday where most of the tacos (asada, carnitas, pollo, al pastor) are $1.75 each. Restaurant is clean and spacious. Definitely a place to frequent.
