Monarca is a family-owned Mexican restaurant known for its lively atmosphere and authentic food. The staff is attentive, providing pleasant service that keeps customers coming back. The food stands out, especially the Quesa Birria, which is praised for its tender, flavorful meat that has a unique taste. The birria remains a favorite, along with the chunky and fresh guacamole served as a side. The drinks are reasonably priced and generously poured, like the refreshing $10 michelada. While some may find the prices a bit high, the cleanliness and dedicated service make up for it. Regulars appreciate how staff remember their orders and provide a personal touch. Despite the competition in town, Monarca has built a loyal customer base who enjoy the food, warm service, and welcoming environment. The ambiance features natural lighting and a nice view of the street, creating a pleasant dining experience. However, some customers feel the highchairs for younger children could be cleaner and safer. Overall, Monarca is recognized as one of the best Mexican restaurants in town, where great food and great people come together.
