About Monterrey
City overview
Monterrey is Mexico's industrial powerhouse walled in by the Sierra Madre — the saw-toothed Cerro de la Silla looms over every street, and the city answers with cable cars up canyon walls, the Macroplaza's modernist canyon of its own, and carne asada raised to a civic religion. Fundidora Park's preserved steelworks and the Santa Lucía riverwalk stitch the old industry into the leisure city it built.
Food & drink
Carne asada is the social contract — arrachera over mesquite with charro beans — alongside cabrito al pastor roasted whole in shop windows, machaca con huevo breakfasts, and glorias from Linares for the road. Pangea and KOLI carry the fine-dining end of the norteño table.
