Soooo I was checking out my Yelp profile and decided to up my ante with another review... this time, not so great. \n\nI was starving (what else is new?) on a Friday night so I dragged my boyfriend out for some Mexican fare. Let's start at the door: the hostess didn't look too excited to greet or seat us. Our server took our drink order, we received our trusty chips and salsa, and got to work. \n\nThe menu was pretty standard for an \"upscale\" Mexican restaurant, seafood selection and all. After the server described \"The Monterrey\" plate as one you could fit a turkey on, I was convinced. This hefty entree consists of four different types of enchiladas, a chile cheese relleno, chicken taco, and guac... how could we possibly go wrong?\n\nThe plate arrived ginormous, as promised; I just wasn't particularly impressed by any of it. As much as I love food, I am a quality over quantity kind of girl, and this entree was not cuttin' it. I honestly can't point out anything in particular that I did not like about the plate, it just wasn't memorable, finger lickin' good, or (please insert cliche here). \n\nWhen dessert was offered, we politely declined. Our waiter dropped the check fleetingly and muttered a \"Thank You\" or something of that sort as he zipped past our table. I do give the place props on decor, as the paintings, statues, and lighting throughout the restaurant are impressive and reminiscent of the culture of Mexico.
