Monterrey, the city of the mountains

Another nice place to go and visit in Mexico is Monterrey, Nuevo Leon.

Monterrey is the third largest city in Mexico, and one of the most important in terms of Industry, culture, and food. 

If you are planning a trip to the north of Mexico, Monterrey is a city you don't want to miss. 

It's most unique characteristic is that is a city surrounded by mountains, the Cerro de la Silla, or "Saddle Mountain", dominates the landscape.



You cannot miss the Grutas de Garcia (Garcia Caves) and Cola de Caballo (The Cascade Cola de Caballo)











Monterrey is also well-known for its good food, such as Carne Asada, Cabrito, and Machacado.
Soccer is also very important in Monterrey, and one of the most important Universities in Mexico, ITESM is located in this city too.

Carne Asada - The typical food you can't miss in Mexico

If you are exploring any city in Mexico, especially any city in the north part, "Carne Asada" (grilled steak) is a dish you cannot miss.


Is similar to a BBQ in a USA but with different ingredients. 

You will basically have: your favorite steak to grill in the barbeque, quesadillas (tortillas with cheese), guacamole (avocado) & salsa.

You can also find, papa asada (baked potato), salchichas(sausages) and cebolla asada (grilled onions).

In Monterrey, one of the most important cities in the north part of Mexico, we have Carne Asada for many different occasions. Birthday party, watch a soccer/football game, or simply get together and enjoy the good weather and friends.

A good beer is the best way to drink in a Carne Asada. 

This is a most to do if you are in Mexico in order to live the true Mexican experience.
