monterey jack's cafe y cantina

just tried to go there. the open sign was on and arestaurantfull of people and we were told they were closed. i won't come back. if you are closed turn your signs off. closing at 8:30??? i know it is sunday but be for real. hungry and poed!

worth the trip for good mexican food. love monterey jacks in mwc, good food, good service, we had been going to another mexicanrestaurantin the holiday square shopping center but monterey jack's is much better, cheese is completely melted on the enchiladas, good chips, good sauce. they bust their butts clearing the tables for customers waiting. good management.

best mexican food in this town, forsure. the foods fresh, hot!, fast sevice is great. they work hard to please you.

people... i am not lying .. it's the real thing... you will crawl out of there stuffed.. fast service, hot food, real good taste... it's as good as that fancy mexicanrestaurantin norman... u know which one i'm talking about !!!

food is superb... service is spectacular!. i made a trip recently to monterey jack's and the food was as good and plentiful as ever. i'd really like to comment on the server, miguel. once seated, i was greeted by miguel instantly who took my drink order and brought it to my table within a minute. he saw that i was reviewing the menu and didn't hover while i was making my choice. he returned to my table, took my order and saw that i had finished a bowl of queso. he brought another bowl without hesitation along with corn and flour tortillas. my meal arrived quickly and he asked if i needed anything else. i needed more salsa and miguel returned and brought another bowl of salsa within 15 seconds.

my drink was refilled just as it was getting low and this tells me that miguel was keeping an eye on what i needed. he treated me as if i was his only customer of the night. his focus was on providing excellent service and he accomplished his mission.

i was completely impressed with miguel. i've received good service at restaurants before, but rarely as good as this. he has what it takes to work in therestaurantindustry and monterey jack's has an asset here they need to hold onto. miguel could go anywhere and be a success.

jack is back on track!. how can you keep a good thing down? you can't and that's why monterey jack's has returned to the midwest city location it once occupied.

a refreshening of the interior greets customers with a lively south of the border flair and the food is still the same great offerings you remember from the original monterey jacks! authentic tortillas, real cheese, awesome chili and delicious spicy ground beef are just a few of the incredible items you'll remember from jack's (or if you're just trying them for the first time, you're in for a wonderful surprise).

therestaurantis family-friendly and can accommodate any size group from just one person to an entire office party or more. the bar is located on the opposite side of the dining area so you can still dine in a nice quiet atmosphere without being disturbed by any patrons who might get a little loud during football season.

so, go back to jack's if you've been there before or try them for the first time if you're new. you'll be glad you did!

we listen! -management. dear, customers

first, a link to the edmond location's urbanspoon page so that i can read reviews for the edmond location, both negative and positive, there:

http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/46/1772097/restaurant/oklahoma-city/west-edmond/monterey-jacks-cafe-cantina-edmond

my name is matthew, i am the general manager for the edmond location. first off, i'd like to apologize for any bad experiences had at this new edmond location. the market took us by storm and we were not prepared for it. that was our fault. we deeply regret any bad blood between us and the customers.

now, i'd like to talk about some things. most restaurants directly have a hand in which reviews show up on their restaurant's urbanspoon page, and even other aspects of their page, but we decide not to take control of our restaurants page because we believe that your words matter. my father owns the company along with his partners juan and alkobo (the midwest-city location managers) and our livelihoods depend on your business. when you speak to me in therestaurantyou are speaking to the top, not some customer service associate. i take every word to heart. every one. every time someone has bad news for me i listen and fix the mistake. we've invested heavily in correcting our opening mistakes and i hope you will give us another try. we appreciate all negative and positive feedback, especially the negative because that's what brings problems to light. we take care of any problems reported to us with all haste. there is no plastic face here. when you ask for me, you talk to the very top of the restaurant.

we've improved heavily and if anything goes wrong? ask for matt and i'll truly listen and fix the issue. i look forward to seeing you again in edmond!

as for our midwest-city location? they are great, we are working hard to be as amazing as midwest-city's monterey jack's and are working closely with them to make it happen.

i realize the newrestaurantthey opened in edmond is only 11 days old but they had a complete and utter meltdown tonight. i have never seen so many people get up and leave than tonight. we were out on date night and after many trips from the manager to ensure our meal was coming, 1 hour 20 minutes later we had to throw the towel in. drinks good, cheese and chips were fine. flour tortilla were store bought and tasted so. i'm all for giving folks second chances but it will be quite some time before we go back. thank you interurban for saving the night. brick town brewery next door is the bomb. love that place.

yum! ordered food to go butrestaurantwas quaint, clean and had a nice friendlyaatmosphere. we ordered three meals and an appetizer there was enough food for six people easy. it was delicious and the staff was very gracious. we will definitely add this to our favorite places in town.

we've been looking for the a good mexicanrestaurantin mwc and we finally found it! went for the first time tonight and it was fantastic! great salsa, margarita's, chili and food!!! entire staff was friendly and excellent service!

good tex-mex. the salsa has a nice kick to it in comparison with other tex-mex joints. the queso seemed less watered down as well. the service is just as excellent as it was the first-go-round. i ordered the avocado enchiladas. i can't give a detailed review on them, because i didn't realize that there would be so many onions in them and i have a dislike of onions-especially when they are in a huge abundance. but let's talk about the sour cream sauce. it had the perfect amount of cheese, creaminess, and flavor. this sour cream sauce is one of the best that i've had. the rice seemed a little dry and the beans were like beans at every other tex-mex joint. the chips didn't seem quite as thin (how i like them) as the first-go-round of mj, but the salsa was better. i loved nino's, but it was slowly slipping into mediocrity. glad to have this monterey jack's back. now we just have to get a good mexican/tex-mexrestaurantinto del city...
