Restaurante San Carlos - Valle

The food and service were good, however, when the Valet Parking brought my car, he told me that a truck had parked next to my car, hit it, and then drove away. I cannot believe this, as my car was right in front of the valet parking stand, 5 meters away with no other cars parked nearby. If that had actually happened, they would have noticed. I suspect the Valet Parking was the one who caused the damage. Although the restaurant manager and accountant spoke with me to take responsibility for the damage, it was a terrible experience.

A visit to Monterrey would not be complete without trying some cabrito. This time, we chose San Carlos. The service was excellent, as is customary in Monterrey. The staff are professional, sharp, and friendly, always making sure you are well taken care of. The waiters at San Carlos were no exception. The queso and beans were excellent. One of us tried the goat stew, which was a very flavorful dish. Eating cabrito can be a bit of a messy experience, similar to picking crabs in South Carolina, but the camaraderie at the table makes it worth it. I recommend adding some salt to the crispy skin and a bit of salsa to each chunk of meat. The delicious beans and flan served as a perfect ending to the meal.

The quality and presentation of the meat and side dishes at this restaurant are lacking. It appears that they are reheated from the day before, and considering the price, we expected better quality. We have had much better quality in San Carlos de Morones P. To make matters worse, the waiter informed us that a 15% tip had already been added to our bill, even though the restaurant was nearly empty when we dined there on Monday, June 5th at 2:00 p.m.

The quality and presentation of the meat and lamb at this restaurant is lacking. It seems they are reheated from the day before and for the price we paid, we expected better quality. We have had much better quality at San Carlos de Morones P. To make matters worse, the waiter asked for a 15% tip for booking through OpenTable, even though the restaurant was nearly empty on Monday, June 5th at 2:00 pm.

Service was slow. Waitress got order wrong, resulting in one entree being served 10 minutes after the others. Great location.
