Have enjoyed La Nacional on several trips to Monterrey. Great Mexican food with a flare. You feel welcome right from the beginning with miniature iced beer in the lobby and sometimes a cigar maker at work. Once at the table you will find a varied menu with plenty of meat, but also some seafood and vegetables to mix in. Anything... More

Wide variety of national and impoted wine at good price. Service was... More

Excellent food. The grilled artichoke w/ dipping sauce for leaves was worth coming for even if you eat nothing else! Steaks were excellent & desserts were great too. An equivalent restaurant in USA (both decor/ambience/menu) would be almost twice the price. Highly recommended!

I had a previous favorite lunch place in Monterrey but now it's 2nd. Next time I'm there for dinner as well. Just one more reason... More

Although I live in the USA, I have been eating at La Nacional every time that I am in Monterrey. This is one of the best retauants that I have been to. The atmosphere, the service and the food are first class. The place is very nice decorated with wood paneling, a glass covered smoking area, and beautiful flower arrangements.... More

This is one of the best restaurants in town. Typical food in northeastern Mexico with a gourmet touch. Attention can become cloying. Good atmosphere, in a large place, very crowded due to its success. I recommend the Salt Rib Eye Salt. Authentic and expensive.

Carne asada (broiled meats) and broiled artichokes to new dimensions. Excellent asparagus salad but the broiled meat covered with sea salt is the best. You have to have a reservation to get a table in this always filled up restaurant that started as a cantina in Monterrey's centre years ago. If you can't get in, go to the original on... More
