“This place is FANTASTIC!! The best birra tacos I’ve ever had and Aguas De Frutas are delicious. Every time I visit they are super sweet and kind. Very quick service. 10/10 recommend!“

“I ordered a small catering order at the last minute and was otw to pick it up. The reviews made me decide to eat dinner there when I picked up my order…and I’m so glad I did! The food, service, ambiance, attention to detail and welcoming atmosphere were all TOP NOTCH! What a sweet family, and the restaurant was superbly clean and well appointed. They have a roomy party room and plenty of parking. You could even stop in with your RV! I had no idea about this restaurant, but they’ve been rocking along for almost 30 years! Alcohol is served here, and it’s very child friendly. The prices are great, the portions are HUGE, and you leave full, happy and with LOTS of left overs! Try the Pizza Barria! The salsa is off the chain, and tastes like it just came from the garden. They had a very brisk to-go crowd, and it’s the type of establishment that leaves you feeling nostalgic because of the GREAT customer service! BRAVO! A++“

“Everybody is very friendly & and the food is great. We have dinner every Friday night.“

“Highly recommended in all aspects“

“First time dining with them last night. It was actually take out. The food was delicious. The birria tacos were the best we’ve ever had. My 8 year old had become picky and said this was the best food she’s had. We will definitely go again and dine in next time. Looking forward to exploring their menu.“

“This place has to be my new taco spot! Service was fast and efficient! The Food was really fresh and hot even after a 15 minute ride home, and probably the most authentic food I’ve had in a long time by far. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Food is delicious and customer service is amazing! It’s my go-to Mexican spot.“

“Mejor Carne al Pastor en todo Columbus, GA!“

“I finally made it to Monarca Mexican Restaurant, and I have to say I was impressed. Being from California, I’m usually pretty critical when it comes to Mexican food, but Monarca delivered.

The ceviche was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The shrimp, avocado, mango, tomatoes, and onions all tasted fresh and balanced, letting the ingredients shine instead of drowning everything in sauce. The pork belly tostones were another standout: crispy, rich, and packed with flavor.

What I appreciated most was the attention to presentation and quality. The food looked as good as it tasted, and everything arrived fresh and well-prepared. The atmosphere felt modern and upscale, and the service was friendly and attentive.

I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu. If you’re looking for Mexican food that’s a step above the usual Tex-Mex experience in Columbus, Monarca is worth a visit. 🌮🍤🥑“

“Went there after my brother's turning green ceremony. We were looking for some authentic Mexican food and we were not disappointed. Food was great and the service was so friendly and attentive. We're not from Atlanta or I would definitely go back!“

“So, if you want your cookie-cutter Mexican restaurant with the generic salsa, chips, tacos, etc., this is not your place. But, if you want to have fantastic authentic Mexican food, this is for you. It’s a one person shop, so do expect fancy, but you aren’t paying for fancy: you’re paying for good food.“

“Just first time visiting they have a Good food only some workers need more respect at costumes they talked bad words about man and women parts .Just dath make look bad this place .“

“Excellent food“

“I go here frequently. It’s my favorite restaurant in town. The food is always great. I usually get Tex Mex Al pastor tacos (I add grilled veggies and onions and a cup of red salsa for that extra flavor) or I get the same deal but nacho fries instead of tacos. There have been a few mess ups, but it’s always fixed and with how delicious it is I just can’t help but come back. Shoot, even the mess ups taste good. I wish I could hire you guys as my personal chefs.“

“I've been a couple of times I have a great experience every time I come into town to see my niece and take her out for family time, this restaurants seems to be the choice and a very good place for us, every time we come we experience a variety of foods, and everyone gets a delicious meal we often have to go plates since we never eat it all, and the atmosphere is great.“

“Great service, check out the queso birria tacos/ enchiladas they're the bomb. pretty sure everything on the menu taste great just haven't gotten to the rest of it just yet but am willing to try anything from the menu at some point whenever I get an appetite on.They're pricey but never a disappointment & overall 100% recommended/satisfied“

“Best Mexican Restaurant in Columbus!! No others compare to this place at all! Great friendly owners that goes beyond to make your food and dining experience perfect every time. Your missing out if you haven’t tried it yet!“

“It’s the best … food and service is SUPERB!“

“The food tasted great. You can either have the buffet and pay by the pound or order off the menu. The salsa there is not spicy. The medium tastes more tomato-like, while the spicy has an almost nonexistent kick. I just wish the horchata tasted stronger, but the people there are so nice 💚“

“Good good , decent service . Good drinks .“

“Lasagna is 🔥🔥 the bread is soooo good too. Great customer service.“

“I stopped in to get my free birthday burrito. everybody was so friendly and nice. you guys have an awesome team working there. and I love Moe's.❤️“

“😏 this is a cozy little spot to have food and drink with friends or a female partner especially in the evenings this is not a big time restaurant it's more on the mom-and-pop side so be prepared to take your time and sit down to eat with paper plates plastic utensils and styrofoam cups so don't come here trying to be bougie 😂😂“

“Go to the back of the grocery store and you will find a gem of delicious Mexican food! The carne asada and carnitas tacos were incredible! Definitely the best around and outside the Fort Moore gate. I had a refreshing jamaica agua fresca and my friend had a yummy filling quesadilla with beans and rice. Super authentic food. Extremely sweet and nice service; they were so attentive and friendly! You must go and eat here!“
