Discover the heart and soul of Taqueria Monterrey, where every meal is crafted with love and every guest is treated like family.
Meet the Owners
Taqueria Monterrey is built on a love story and a shared dream.
Simon grew up in Rochester, NY, working in his family’s restaurant from the time he was 14. Andrea was raised in Monterrey, Mexico, where food, family, and hospitality were a way of life. The two met as kids during Simon’s visits to Monterrey, and years later, they fell in love.
Together, they’ve created a space where tradition meets warmth, and you can feel like family.
2023 The Journey Begins
Together, they’ve created more than just a restaurant. They’ve created a space where tradition meets warmth, where every guest is welcomed like family, and where every meal tells a story.Explore the significant milestones that shaped Taqueria Monterrey. Each event highlights our commitment to authentic Mexican cuisine.
2024 A Home for Tradition
With a loyal following and a menu full of Monterrey flavor, it was time to put down roots. Simon and Andrea renovated a space on Culver Road and turned it into something special—a warm, welcoming taquería that feels like stepping into their home. The restaurant opened its doors in 2024, blending handcrafted food with heartfelt service, all rooted in the traditions they grew up with.
Today Serving with Heart
Now, Taqueria Monterrey proudly serves the best traditional Mexican food in Rochester. Every dish that leaves the kitchen is made with purpose and passion—from handmade tortillas to slow-marinated meats. Simon and Andrea are still right there in the middle of it all, greeting guests, perfecting recipes, and keeping the spirit of Monterrey alive in every meal.
