Monterrey Mexican - West Des Moines

Meh. It was ok. The meal came with beans only, no rice. The food was really plain. It wasn?t bad, just plain. The carne asada in my tacos was good. Chips and salsa were decent. The service was a little lacking, even though the restaurant was not busy. It would have been a two star, but they had the nascar race on for my husband.

Used to eat here a lot a long time ago and Had been about 4 years since we had been back, just cause of not having the best experiences (food and service) . Started out great 7 yrs ago and then just declined, so we stayed away. Tonight, we went back, as we had limited options for a late night dinner. Jean was our server, he was very attentive and offered great service! Food was good but we 'd go back and explore other menu options. Sometimes it just depends on who iscooking

Their serving sizes have taken a bad hit from inflation. What used to be sufficient to fill three to four people, hardly suffices two. Tuesday tacos are cheap, but given that only chicken and ground beef are on the menu, it isn't much. Moreover, the chicken tastes like canned breasts with some gravy on top. Nachos used to be phenomenal, with a hefty helping, not anymore. They have lost their edge. I would totally try tasty tacos next time. Even taco bell is better!
