“ Update: OMG the Pollo Monterey!!! I'm in love. Looks like they have new artwork. Very nice restaurant. Original review: The food was great! The chips and salsa were great! But it was a little warm inside. We had been outside for a while at an event and wanted a cool retreat. I had the chicken Monterey....omg I had traveled far for it and it did not disappoint. ”
