"I have been coming to Seaside in the summer my entire life. My family orders from other Mexican inspired restaurants in the area and for years I have been disappointed with their food. Monte 's is a blessing. The moment I stepped foot inside to pick up my food I could tell this place was authentic. The food followed through. My tinga tostadas were one of my favorite meals I have eaten in months. They were absolutely up to the highest quality bar I have for comparison. The quesadillas were also outstanding. The veggie was delicious, though my uncle complained that the shrimp one did not have enough shrimp in it. The tacos all had good tortillas. The carnitas tasted good, it had a full flavor to it. The chicken in the tacos was dry, but the provided sauces were good. You can tell the chips are made in-house. They were very good. The guac was smoother than I expected. My family wanted empanadas. They were fine, but I didn 't expect anything special on that front from a Mexican place. On the whole this was not the best Mexican food I have ever eaten, but it so far surpasses its competition and does certain things such as the tostadas, quesadillas, and chips well enough that I am giving it 5 stars. I am ashamed it took me this long to discover Monte 's in Seaside."

"Our server was nice. Food was mediocre at best. I order the “jumbo lump crab cakes”. I had to ask our server if she gave me the right dish. It didn’t taste or look anything like crab. $32 for breadcrumbs and peppers with a bland corn salsa under it. Don’t advertise “jumbo lump crabmeat” when you don’t provide it. Terrible. We also had an issue with a very rude waitress outside (older woman short hair and glasses) when we mistakenly tried the front door to get in. She told us that the entrance was around the side and “most people notice the large sign in the front”. By the way, the sign was broken and standing up against the side of the restaurant when we looked. Not in front where we could see it. Would not recommend."

"The food here was so good. Great service. I would recomend making reservations ahead of time if you can. They were very accomodating and gave us the option to sit at the sushi bar, which was perfect. We loved everything especially the baked clams,the Lamb chops and all the sushi is very fresh and well prepared, all portions were very generous. Our server James was awesome.I honestly can't wait to go back next time I visit!"

"I would give this restaurant zero stars if I could. I went there with a group of six, including two toddlers, and we waited over an hour for food that was only mediocre at best. When I raised my concerns about the experience, I received no response, which demonstrated a complete lack of hospitality. I cannot recommend this restaurant, and I definitely won't be returning."

"My friend hasn't stopped raving about this place for the past few weeks, so I decided to give it a try. First off, the staff. So nice and friendly, that alone would make me want to come back. The cheese steak...sooooo good. The meat was juicy and tender and very flavorful. I got the seeded bread and it wasn't too hard or too soft, it was perfect. The meat to bread ratio was perfect too. There were a lot of both and I was able to enjoy the taste of both. And the fresh cut fries? They were so so good. They were the perfect amount of crispiness and were nice and soft at the same time. So glad I listened to my friend because I haven't found a good cheese steak since I moved to this area. I definitely will be going back again and I will be recommending this to anyone who listens to me yap about it!"
