This Monterrey\u2019s was owned by the same group that owns the location on Knox Abbott Drive in W. Columbia, and had slightly different recipes than the other group that owns the Vista, Columbiana (Afton Ct.), and Killian Road locations. The El Monterrey location you see on Broad River near I-20 (and possibly still open on Parklane?) is yet another splinter off of the other Columbia locations.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I think I vaguely recall seeing another <i>Tez's<\/i> somewhere in the area, and of course there are a number of <i>Monterrey<\/i> locations as Heath mentions, but I had no idea this one existed.
