Best Fun Restaurants in Montbello

Movie night on Monday night was a delight! The prix fixe menu was both delicious and a great value. Drinks are not included so you can order your preferred wine or cocktails. The concept was so well executed by the Bistro Vendome staff. I will definitely do this again!

Great experience at this Texas De Brazil! Fantastic service, very nice new building, and the food was all cooked and seasoned extremely well. The chicken and pork were a bit dry, and at least one piece of sirloin we got was very tough and chewy, but the picaniah was better than all other Brazilian steakhouses we have had, including other Texas De Brazil locations, and the Lamb was particularly exceptional. We were very pleased (and FULL) when we left.

Lucina's has become our go-to restaurant for special occasions. We like to go in groups of 6 or7 to order as many of the small plates as possible. We go often enough to appreciate when new dishes appear or old ones, like the mussels with chorizo, reappear. Dishes appear thoughtfully in waves so every one can be tasted and savored before the next round arrives. Favorites include the blue-masa conchinitas (out of rotation now but replaced with a great pozole), the mussels (served with smoky, toasted bread slices to soak up the broth that are out of this world), and mofongo. A cod dish with an almost panang-style sauce with fresh jalapeño was new to us and delicious. Highly recommend Lucina's!

Tayler was a fantastic server - very friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations. The food was great and the monday happy hour deal made it a great value to try and share smaller variations of their apps and entrees. Love the open kitchen concept with the pizza oven. Absolutely going back! And want to try one of their cooking classes.

Chilaquiles are rojo and my preference is verde but dang they were great! The BLT w/ egg and Avocado was also awesome. Highlight of the meal tho… that cinnamon roll!
