In Short – Aside from the intimate dining spaces broken up by bright red paneled walls and decorated with Mexican ceramics and ironworks, guests can also retreat to the bar or an outdoor patio. Everything is made fresh, including the soft, redolent tortillas. Carne con chile verde is pork stewed until tender with poblano and Anaheim chiles, tomatillos and onions. El Monterrey offers a sampling: grilled taco, cheese enchilada, a spicy chile relleno and lots of fresh guacamole.

Great margaritas and enchilada plates
by satlunch
This is a good place to come after work when I am needing my mexican food fix. My favorite here is the chicken enchiladas (2) with tomatillo sauce and I always ask for the charro beans, which I think are the best I have had in Austin. For 7.99 in the evening in central Austin, that is a bargain, and I leave stuffed. I like their salsa, too. I have found that if a place has good salsa and good beans, everything else is pretty good in my experience. Lots of young couples, singles, families, oldsters, this place has them all - love the mix. Another big plus is that they don't try to blast you out of your chair with their music. It's just right. You can actually talk to your date without shouting. Sorry it took me so long to find this place.
- Pros: Homemade tortillas; charro beans; great salsa
- Cons: Can't think of any.

Read the review online - and saw the high star rating. What a mistake.

My fiancee and I go onto Austin City Search to find great reco's for Friday night dinners or Saturday evening lunch. We were both in the mood for some good mexican food and ran across the recommendation saying Jorge's is in the top 3 places to eat mexican food in Austin. Well it wasn't today. We both were extremely disapointed with the food quality and quantity. Both of us got the Jorge Combo plate which had a little bit of everything - unfortunately none of it was impressive. Out of all the hundreds of mexican food restaurants I have eaten over the 32 years of being a Texan - this is definitely in the bottom 10%. Loved the atmosphere when i walked in, but the food quality was not good and the taste was very bland. Plus - very pricey for the small serving sizes of the plates.
- Pros: Great atmosphere for a tex mex restaurant
- Cons: Food is bland, sauces were not good, and over priced for the small portions.
