"I am a Gringo, but kind of an expert with Mexican Food. And my Spouse is from Mexico. We ate here Sunday,11/24/24, around 5:00 p.m., it was our first visit. The food was very good! Pros: On Street Parking;free this time of year, BYOB, clean appearance, Nice decor!, clean bathroom. Server was very efficient, listened and was friendly. Food: Salsas Roja y Verde were good! Could be a bit more spicy ( pica ). Salsa Chipotle was very good, smokey / spicy. Burrito de pollo had much flavor! Torta de Tinga Pollo Chipotle was very good! Guacamole was fresh and very tasty!!! Reasonable prices! Cons: Dining area has close seating if sitting in booth tables. A little less salt in the Burrito would be better. I would recommend this place to friends and family!!! Definitely try the Guacamole. See pics."

"The food is so fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! Plus the staff is so warm and welcoming! This is mine and my husband's new favorite place and will be going weekly. Please when you go do not skip dessert their Tres Leches it is to die for!!! Vegetarian options: Vegetarian burrito, quesadilla, rice & beans, salad Parking: Montes is located in Seaside Heights NJ so in the winter you will have no problem finding parking. Summer time can be a little rough, but parking a few blocks away and walking there is totally worth it!"

"Great cafe! can't believe I have never experienced this gem of a cafe since we are locals in OC all our life. The food we ordered to eat in was just DELICIOUS with very good quality ingredients and prepared lovingly. I ordered fish tacos and as I said just delicious!! My sister in law ordered the steak bowl and enjoyed it very much. it looked very good and with quality ingredients. We were served by a lovely woman and her polite and kind daughter, the father even visit our table once to ask if we needed anything and this family who owns it are so very kind and so very polite. I can't wait to return with my husband. They even had unsweetened iced tea in bottles but was a very good brand. I highly recommend Montes Cafe. Just go trust me."

"This was my first time there, and it wasn't too bad. I would suggest going online and looking at their menu first before going. Get an idea of what you might want and if you have any questions then ask them when you get there. The menu can be a little extensive and or overwhelming. The staff was very friendly and did their best to help us decide what we wanted to eat. This is authentic Mexican food so don't expect a Taco Bell type flavor. There is no ground beef. All the meats are shredded. I would suggest if you're going to get tacos to get the hard shell as the soft shell was a little raw tasting. Overall the food was very good but I will know what I want next time before I go so I won't feel pressured into making a quick decision."

"Since it was a Tuesday night we had to have Tacos. We are so glad we found Montes Cafe online. It is a small family owned restaurant that has a wonderful Mexican atmosphere. The owner greeted us and even took our order. I had the beef tacos with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and a green hot sauce, it was exactly what I was looking for on a Taco Tuesday NIght for dinner. The shells are homemade and delicious and just the right amount of food. Reasonably priced for. a shore town resturant. And as all restaurants are doing nowadays, if you pay cash you pay less. Highly recommend it if you are looking for some good Mexican food while down in the Seaside Heights area."
