Excellent food, ambiance and service! Mario was extremely helpful and making sure we knew what we were ordering since we have a limited Spanish speaking ability. We order the enchiladas with pork and beef. Very tasty, very authentic. The outside building surrounding this restaurant may seem a little shabby, but the interior of this restaurant and the live music made our experience memorable.

Beautiful place with plenty of seating. The food had a small amount to choose from but it was just enough. The waitress took our order quick and the food came out fast. When we went they were reciting poetry and playing acoustic guitar which was beautiful.

Great food, beautiful atmosphere and helpful attentive waitstaff! The machacado con huevos a la mexicana had some nice spicy chiles! The gorditas were great (not too greasy) and we had another traditional plate that I can’t remember the name of but was quite tasty! Would go back any day!

We came to visit Monterrey from Los Angeles… this place stole our hearts.. we came for breakfast and from the moment we walked in, we had a feeling the experience was going to be amazing. There was a very talented musician filling the room with the sounds of his guitar and pleasant voice. As we sat down, the chef greeted us and made us feel so welcome. He asked us what the language of choice is and accommodated all of our party both English and Spanish. We ordered family style so we could all enjoy the variety… boy was it delicious! The cillaquilles.. AMAZING! Everything was so tasty…. The service was great!! The environment was perfect with the cavelike walls made of old large stones.. and lastly.. the Chef/Big Boss was brilliant! So happy to have stumbled into this restaurant. Highly recommend it.

A very tourist- and local-friendly business with an extra hearty menu and professional staff. I felt welcomed as a first timer here among locals who were showing me around the center. The servers made sure that I was comfortable with the menu and with my selection. The flavor profiles were on point with the breakfast menu and salsas!

Wow! Incredible experience at Fonda El Limoncito.

We had some outstanding enchiladas and chilequilas with chicharon. The atmosphere was pleasant with live music and friendly staff. We got a little history lesson on the neighborhood and the buildings. This one is over 100 years old and built with stone and adobe! Mario took the time to teach us about the different types of Mexican peppers, where they are from, how they get sun roasted, and how sun roasting affects the flavor profile.

This was one of the best dining experiences I've had anywhere in the world!

We had an awesome brunch there. This is a great place for the food and the ambiance. Great staff, eager to share the history of this beautiful place and to explain the tasty food. Owner Juan-Pablo is so kind, you will not forget him as well as the fresh and well cooked meat at very affordable prices!
