Great after work lunch spot for a burger, onion rings, and beer. And you can score a nice bottle of bourbon afterward at the liquor store! Thank you Monte Carlo

If you are familiar with the lore of the Monte Carlo steakhouse, you probably don't need my review. It's a hole in the wall locale, where you walk through the liquor store to get to the restaurant.
Originally made popular for their burger, they have become very well known for their steaks. The atmosphere is what one should expect for such a hole in the wall location. They do not split checks and you should expect to wait 40 minutes during an average night. They do not take reservations. If you're expecting a black tie steakhouse, you're in the wrong place. Make no mistake, you're here for the food.
All said, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was as expected and the owner spent some time chatting with us, which is always nice.

Amazing steak! Had a great dinner! Always busy.

This restaurant is good! The casual atmosphere brings you back quite a few decades, which is fun. A loud, peaceful crowd having a good time is nice to see! My steak was good but cooked medium instead of MR. The iceberg salad was good, especially the creamy zesty Greek dressing. The apple pie is cobbler like and good! My primary complaint was the lighting. Previous reviews said it was too dark. I found the lighting to be like bright spotlights that were too glaring and gave me a bit of a headache. I'm glad we tried it, but I won't rush back.

Always a solid choice. Old school restaurant with a liquor store in front.
Prime Rib Thur-Sat, but no bad choices. Lunch the the grilled ham and cheese w/ green chile, delicious.
Bartenders, Adam and Mike, are great along with all the servers.

Great old classic restaurant/bar that has the best steaks and burgers. The atmosphere is nostalgic and has so much history that it will bring you back to the good old days. Steaks are very inexpensive and are among some of the best throughout the country. Staff is always very friendly and courteous. Highly recommend if you are either here from out of town or locally to try this great restaurant.

My husband and I have been going here for years for date nights. Love the old school feel and the food is the epitome of comfort. Best steak in ABQ

Atmosphere is target mostly for older people rather than young couples with kids. It’s pretty dark as you walk in during the day. Once you get used to the darkness inside it looks well lit. Food was very good. Service was great. I would still recommend people to go and try out their food.

12/2021: Neighborhood gem, older established restaurant, yet clean. Great attentive service & food. Restaurant was packed but got seating immediately; clean bathrooms. Rated 4 stars because the restaurant is dark for me.
Appetizer was hot mozzarella sticks. Ordered grilled chicken that comes with either baked potato or fries, salad; & Monte Carlo Burger with green chile and cheese. All were delicious and filling. Happy eating!

Food is FIRE! Best green chili cheese burgers in Albuquerque (in my opinion) and the Liquor store is amazing.
Customer service is the restaurant for pick up orders is terrible!! They make it very obvious they cater to the regulars that sit at the bar. They rarely answer the phone for call in orders and when they do, they are rude in the phone taking the order. Restaurant is kinda dirty too. You often see food, utensils and used napkins on the floor.

Don't let the street facing store fool you, once you figure out where the entrance is(if you're not a local like me) and walk in, you're taken back in time. The service was friendly and on point, the food was great, and ambiance was seriously neat. When we come back to Albuquerque will certainly come this way! Matter of fact, we had Twin Peaks delivered tonight, and we all said we should have just gone back to Monte Carlis!

First time there. Food was good. The steak was just a little over cooked. But the young kid that took our name down and then sat us not so well. He never brought us utensils and was unprofessional when taking our name down. Besides that everything else was great.

I searched all over the city for an amazing steak. I heard about this place from asking people where to go so that i could take my boss when he came into town. At first, looking at it was not what i expected but that did not intimidate me. We stopped in and the host was very friendly and shared some conversation while we stood in the long line waiting to be seated. This was exciting, this place must be good! Only when I got my plate in front of me did I realize we had found an amazing dinner venue that I will be returning to. Enjoy the food, try the specials.

Fun very busy little eclectic place it was cool that we got set under the Guy Fieri posters
Food was good.
We tried the Monte Carlo Burger the chicken strips and the steak fingers ( the steak fingers would have been out of this world with some country gravy) and for the appetizer we had fried mushrooms (kinda a small portion)

I have not had a bad burger yet from this spot. The food is always fresh and it always hit right. I think this place has one of the top three burgers in Albuquerque. They are definitely one of my favorite. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. It does get busy fast and tables are somewhat limited. Great burger joint! 🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔

I always check DDD when looking for food. Guy has led me to the best restaurants. It was quiet on a Wed afternoon. Atmosphere was a little dark so I chose a well lit table. It’s a small menu and I had to choose an 8oz or a 16oz ribeye (there are other steaks but I wanted ribeye). I chose the 16 for the thickness. The steak was of the best ribeyes I have ever eaten!! It was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful. Friendly, impeccable service. No pomp or circumstance. Just a really great steak!
