An expansive menu of "Cross the Border" fare caters to just about every palate. "The Food at Diablo's Cantina is a playful twist on Mexican and American classics," said Chef Brian Massie. "These are seriously large portions meant for sharing, presented in a fun and approachable manner. The menu has tons of options and matches the high-energy vibe."
There are traditional Mexican selections and American dishes like surf-n-turf and burgers, but most recipes have South-of-the-Border flair thanks to flavors like chipotle and chile-lime sea salt.
The true measure of any Mexican cantina, the tequila selection, is a masterpiece that will take some time to complete. Currently Diablo's features more than 75 rare, exotic, boutique-production and top-shelf tequilas.
If straight tequila isn't your thing, check out Diablo's mouthwatering specialty drinks. The house mixologist incorporates fresh, muddled fruits, fresh-squeezed juices and natural ingredients in his recipes. The Pink Spot is a case in point: a refreshing blend of Gran Centenario, watermelon cordial, fresh mint leaves, and fresh-pressed watermelon juice.
Whether you're in the mood for a mid-day margarita or an all-night party, lunch with friends or a casual dinner, Diablo's can accommodate…and that's what sets it apart from the competition. This restaurant-lounge-bar-nightclub is a one-of-a-kind venue with sweeping appeal, bringing a new level of energy to Monte Carlo.
