“I had the Paco salad and enjoyed it very much! Family friendly and great service!Parking: Montes is in a shopping center and there is plenty of parking available.Kid-friendliness: There are kid-friendly options on the menu and the wait staff are willing to have the kitchen make changes.“
“Your local, "hole in the wall" restaurant. I would go out of my way to eat here. Home made Mexican style bakery. I believe they are actually el Salvadorean but great food, none the less. The pork carnitas tacos were perfect. Soft and moist in the middle and crunchy on the edges. The pupusas are perfect. If you don't like their pupusas, you don't like pupusas. Priced reasonable and speed of food was good. Get your authentic, high-quality food here.“
“Since moving to NC from CA, I have been missing a really good carnitas, beans and rice, chili relleno and a few other favorites. This restaurant reminds me of the flavors I could get just over the border and have missed so much. The service is great, fast, fresh and accurate. I eat here at least once a week and am thrilled to have found such a delicious gem.Vegetarian options: Veggie quesadilla is awesomeParking: Open parking in a strip mall type shopping center“
“It was the busiest I have ever seen when we visited recently. We waited an hour before I heard someone mention we could sit at the bar, so we opted to eat at the bar rather than continuing to wait. Our server was crazy busy, but she was on top of everything, and despite the wait for the food, she made sure we knew it would be out as soon as it was ready. The food was good but not great.Parking: When they are busy, it is tough to find parking, but you can park in a nearby shopping center lot.“
“Very fresh food, phenomenal staff, very clean restaurantWe went in for the buy one get one free Valentine’s Day specialThe staff, the manager, and the owner were all in for the occasion - it was the best casual burrito I’ve hadWould highly recommend, and will definitely be stopping through on future trips through Wilkesboro“
“My family has a place in the mountains about 45 mins from here, but this is where we exit the highway. I try to stop at Santa Lucia every opportunity I can to pick-up food on the way out there! One of the best, hole in the wall, Mexican spots I've found in N.C. You know it's good when most of the staff/patrons are speaking Spanish. I usually get a chorizo burrito (big portion, lots of meat), plus sides of queso and guacamole - both are excellent and their chips are perfection!! Having said that, I've never had anything I didn't like from here. It's unassuming and in what appears to be a converted gas station ... exactly what you want for no frills Mexican food. If you're going on a Friday evening, I suggest calling ahead. They get really busy and wait times can exceed an hour if you have a big order.“
