Monte Alban is BY FAR the best Mexican food. The only issue is it's small, but it doesn't bother me. If I could somehow manage it, I'd eat there every day. It absolutely delicious! I recommend the Chimichanga.

Really great first visit here. Food was so tasty, not salty, but had awesome flavor. Rice was delicious. Fajitas were sizzling and came with generous toppings. Enchiladas were flavorful and not dry. Even the salsa was great. Service was very friendly. Quick too! Parking was a bit of a pain, but I'd say it's worth it!

Parking: Street parking on Farmington ave or lot across the street.

We've been going for 20 years. Authentic and delicious. Our favorites are Enchiladas Verde, Flautas and Chimichangas. Simple atmosphere but warm and friendly service.

A family type place, though I've only seen adults since we usually eat a little late in the evening, but it's a comfy casual small restaurant for about 30-40 people max, that should appeal to everyone who appreciates good home-style cooking. Lots of choices, from tacos to sophisticated fish entrees, and the best guacamole around. Small friendly staff and the owner gets to know all us regulars and will stop to chat and ask how you are. I would recommend this little place to anyone who really wants good food.... and don't miss the mole'. I see a lot of take-out going out the door, too, so it should fit anyone's plans.

Vegetarian options: Not my choices, I'm a carnivore, but I know they're on the menu and would be just as delicious as everything else I eat.

Kid-friendliness: Casual place certainly welcomes kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: Maybe it's a tight fit going inside because it's just a glass door and a little wall to move past but unless the chair is really big it should be doable. There's no step or real barricade. My walker manages just fine. There's always take-out if someone finds it awkward. There are several tables in the center so a booth isn't a deal breaker.

Great option for Mexican food. Can't believe how close this is to home but I never knew it existed. Enjoyed the nachos grande and enchiladas. We'll be back.

They have an outdoor patio. Good food, reasonable prices. Parking is across the street near Tangiers. We get the enchiladas and tacos.
