Monte Alban Mexican Grill

Monte Alban Mexican Grill is a multi-location Mexican restaurant group in the Rochester area, with its Titus Avenue location at 717 Titus Ave in Irondequoit, NY. This location opened in early 2024 as the group's second Irondequoit outpost, joining existing restaurants on East Ridge Road, Empire Boulevard in Webster, Penfield Road, and Buffalo Road in Gates. The restaurant serves traditional Mexican cuisine for both lunch and dinner, operating seven days a week with dine-in, takeout, and catering options.

The menu at Monte Alban covers a wide range of Mexican staples and house specialties. Appetizers include queso blanco, fresh-made guacamole, and queso fundido with chorizo and poblano pepper. Entrees span fajitas served on sizzling skillets, carne asada with grilled ribeye, chile poblanos stuffed with chicken and cheese, and dishes like Pollo Loco and Pollo Ranchero. The seafood section features Baja tacos with shrimp or tilapia and a Veracruz special with grilled fish. Burritos, enchiladas, and tacos come with a variety of proteins including carnitas, chorizo, steak, and grilled chicken.

The restaurant also offers a full bar with house and flavored margaritas, mojitos, and a selection of imported and domestic beers. Desserts include churros, flan, fried ice cream, and Xango — a cheesecake-filled fried tortilla. Monte Alban provides catering services for events such as weddings, banquets, and private parties.

Monte Alban has built a steady presence across the Rochester suburbs, with five locations operating under the same brand. The Titus Avenue restaurant carries the same menu and format as its sibling locations, focusing on made-to-order Mexican dishes in a casual, full-service setting with a full bar. The group's expansion from a single East Ridge Road location to five area restaurants reflects its foothold in the local dining scene.

The Titus Avenue location sits in Irondequoit, roughly two miles west of the original East Ridge Road restaurant. It is near the Titus Avenue commercial corridor, close to Irondequoit Plaza at the intersection of Titus and Hudson avenues — a retail hub anchored by Wegmans. The restaurant has private lot parking and is wheelchair accessible. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
