Best Mexican in Hartford Area
by 3primecubed at Citysearch
It is the ONLY good place for Mexican Food in the Greater Hartford Area. Their salsas are the real thing. Nothing fancy but all authentic. On par with Frieda's in Oaxaca. I have no favorites. Everything is great. The staff is friendly. The price is right.
- Pros: Great Oaxacan style food
- Cons: Don't expect chain variety Tex-Mex

This is a great restaurant for authentic Mexican dishes. Wonderfully spicey food and refreshing margarittas served in a timely fashion. Ambiance is cozy and friendly. If you like Mexican, you'll love this place!
- Pros: Authenic Mexican
- Cons: none

Very Good Food in a Family-Owned Restaurant
by js810 at Citysearch
I've eaten at Monte Alban a few times and the food is consistently good. It is a relaxed, midscale family restaurant. Their homemade salsa is excellent, their enchiladas and burritos are quite good, and their limonada (like a lemonade, but made with limes) is a must-order each time. In addition to the standards, they have an extensive menu of meat and fish dishes. It's a cozy place, but not romantic. Take advantage of their patio seating on nice nights.
- Pros: Food, good for casual meals, patio dining available
