Monarca Authentic Mexican Restaurant

Great food with large portions and fast, friendly service. Best Mexican Restaurant we’ve found in Lexington, KY.

definitely enjoy coming here. always great food and service

The dinner portion size to price is fair, the food tastes good- you get chips and salsa with the purchase of an entree. The salsa has a little spice but not too much, the queso is $5.99~ and tastes like real cheese- it's enough for a family of six. Kids meals are decent, not just tiny portions. For $7.99 they get an entree and two sides (rice/beans/fries). The service was slow on a Thursday evening even though they weren't too busy. It seems they only have two high chairs, so if another family is using them you're out of luck. I personally didn't get a Mexican restaurant vibe from the atmosphere. The seating is also very close to other tables, it felt almost too close. They do have specials for each day of the week and it does rotate.

Kid-friendliness: Overall kid friendly. Diverse kids menu options: chicken tenders, hamburger, burrito, enchilada, etc. They have limited high chairs.

The food was delicious and the waiter was attentive and very friendly. I am serious when I say I may have found a new favorite Mexican place. It was so good! Highly recommend! I had the super fajita burrito, our kids had the polloito bandidos kids meal and both were fantastic. Their salsa was also great. We’ll be back!

Great service. I think I simply chose the wrong dish and did not fully enjoy it. Three other guys I was with thought theirs were quite good. Very good salsa.
