Our first time visiting Monarca and it was excellent. I chose the cammarones (shrimp with mushrooms and tequila) with the charro. (The charro!!! ?) So good! We ordered the queso which was spicy and very tasty. Margaritas were so good. We all left stuffed and satisfied. The staff was very friendly and pleasant. I loved the decor, the seating and ambiance. I'm surprized to see some of the comments here. People do have to realize a new business doesn't just open and run like clockwork....read full review
Today was my first time dining at Monarca. I had never heard of it until my friend told me about it. She said they had the best guacamole she has ever had. I absolutely agree! We were looking for outdoor seating because it was such a lovely day. I was highly impressed! From the greeting to the food suggestions to the amazing service and even the cleanliness of the restrooms. I am so happy I got to have the Monarca guac and lunch experience!
We had my daughter’s first communion party at Monarca this weekend. I worked with Ana who was so wonderful. She created a beautiful menu and had the tables all set up with the decorations I brought. The food and drinks were delicious as always. Get the guacamole!
