"During my visit to Fort Collins last weekend, I had the pleasure of dining with a large group at El Monte on Sunday evening. We chose this restaurant based on a recommendation from a business associate who enjoyed it so much that he returned twice in the same week. Knowing how discerning he is about restaurants, we felt quite confident in our decision. He insisted we try three specific items: the margaritas, the guacamole, and the snapper Veracruz. Wow! All three were absolutely fantastic, and I also had a taste of the pork loin, which was delicious. The service was exceptional as well—definitely ask for Matthew. I also loved the beautifully cinema-inspired decor, given that the space used to be a movie theater. The atmosphere was sophisticated yet approachable, with a slightly sensual vibe. I adored everything about it!"
