Monta Factory Glendale

My previous review of their place in Pasadena was 5 years ago! Monta Factory, is one of the places that not only survived the pandemic, but expanded their presence to a bigger second location in Glendale. The new location is MUCH MUCH bigger with indoor and outdoor seating, a large parking lot, and big photos of the menu items. This is a very casual place, serving everything on either paper or foil plates, and everything is easily made to go.

I invited 2 friends who had never been to either location to join me, so we ordered the Hangry sized Monta platter for $20 with the works on it. We couldn't finish this platter because we also ordered the small tomato soup for $8 with monta, 2 salmon sandwiches with wild salmon for $15.50, and 2 orders of the cheese Booreg for $2.75 each.

On our visit, the salmon was overcooked in the sandwiches, but a squeeze of lemon helped. 

They offered us a complimentary samples of the Eech salad made with bulgar, tomatoes, red onions, jalapenos, olive oil and spices that was very light and refreshing.
