About the restaurant

A rare find, find out what local yuppies have been enjoying for generations, very simple food, exquisite steakhouse style meat cuts, lots of pork. A diamond in the dessert. La Nacional team usually rescues recipies from small towns and delivers them to your table. You cant leave Monterrey with out this craving generating machine!!!!!

COCINA HONESTA Tomando inspiración en la fusión de la cocina mexicana con la española, utilizamos los mejores ingredientes para ofrecer una cocina diferente, con preparación tradicional.

San Pedro Garza García

About the restaurant

Es un restaurante conceptualizado en un momento histórico para México, en su esplendor de los años 40. El espacio arquitectónico compuesto de 3 ambientes, representan en su interior a los grandes y elegantes salones del Distrito Federal con rasgos al estilo del Art Decó. El exterior es el tejido urbano de la gran metrópoli con todo y su taquero callejero, la cantina banquetera y una terraza abierta.

Una cocina sencilla y con una complicidad en botanas, tacos, tortas y platillos mexicanos. La Reynita, es un sazón real y auténtico con una identidad de callejero pero servido con todo el protocolo de los restaurantes finos.

We visited this restaurant after being recommended by several of our friends. Everything was delicious. We ordered the guacamole with pork belly, the panela asada and the frijoles con veneno. Everything was delicious. My daughter was craving french fries and they were also very good. They have a nice selection of tequilas. All the food was delicious and fresh, made to order. We all enjoyed our food. My wife ordered a cabrito riñonada, my daughter ordered a cabrito breast and I got the cabrito shoulder. The cabrito is the best we have ever had!! My other daughters got tortilla and fideo soups, they were delicious. When we visit Monterrey we would typically go to El Rey del Cabrito. San Carlos is far way more better in food quality, cleanliness , lively atmosphere, friendly staff. Highly recommend this restaurant!!
