“Awesome food! My favorite truck in All of Salem! Tried many items from here and nothing had disappointed me!! 😋 🫶🏻“

“I feel so lucky to live near Monarca because it is by far my favorite spot in town! They make the best breakfast burritos, but emphasis on their veggie breakfast for actually including yummy veggies. Most places will give you a burrito with egg, potato, and cheese if you don’t want meat. I’ve tried many other items and never have had anything bad. 10/10 recommend + their friendly service is an added bonus!“

“Muy Rica la comida 100% Recomendado“

“We tried the Fried Ice Cream for dessert. We're taking a many years long survey of who has the best. La Vida Catrina does, IMO. Former best, now second best, was in San Pedro, CA.“

Guacamole with chips very fresh. Definitely would return when we are craving Oaxacan Mexican food. Breakfast served all day will bring me back“

“Absolutely delicious chicken flautas with salsa verde. Quesabirria tacos with consomme were perfect. Tamale was tender, not dry, and full of flavor. Prices are reasonable and hospitality was warm and friendly. Can't wait to go back again!“

“Have driven by this establishment many times, finally stopped. What a gem! The place is unassuming but very clean. Came for breakfast, surprisingly large selection. We got breakfast burritos. Very affordable. They were huge, and excellent quality. Did I happen to say huge? Cheese, potatoes, eggs, your choice of breakfast meats and cooked to perfection. I added refried beans, crema, onions, cilantro and the salsa that came with chips...excellent! The waitstaff were friendly and helpful to non Latinos. Would I eat here again? Absolutely 💯!!! If you are looking for somewhere to eat, I highly recommend 👌“

“I had to pick something up near the YMCA on my lunch break. Needed something fast to get back to work. This burrito spot popped up. Walked around the building to find it, so small.
BEST BURRITO I've purchased in YEARS. Better than main chains, food trucks, and even restaurants. I went back 4 days later with my wife to see if it was a fluke. It was not. My 2nd burrito was even better than the 1st. 10/10. Perfect“

“Stopped here on a road trip through Oregon, had a yummy huarache with chicken tinga and guava agua fresca. Both were delicious, with a homemade, made from scratch flavor. The people running this taqueria are really friendly. The salsa is tasty too.“

“food was excellent service was too. I will definitely be going back :)“

“The best tamales in Oregon!“

“Food was fresh and delicious. Very good price for the amount. Their tacos had good tortillas that didn't disintegrate with the first bite. The proportions of ingredients was great, not just a ton of lettuce or rice as fillers for the taco salad or burritos. It was a little before lunch time so everything came out super quick.“

“Excellent tasting food!! Excellency service, fast efficient and friendly!“

“Hands down the best Mexican restaurant the food they serve you is so delicious and super fresh super recommended this place the only thing I wished they had was pico de gallo salsa with the chips“

“This is easily our favorite sit-down Mexican restaurant in the Salem area. We haven’t found a single thing on the menu we don’t like, and the carne asada is absolutely perfect.

As someone from Southern California, I can be a little picky about Mexican food, and this place actually hits the mark. Good flavors, great portions, and they even have horchata, which automatically earns bonus points.

Best Mexican food we’ve found in the area, hands down. Highly recommend.“

“So tasty and the owners are the sweetest. My favorite place to eat in Salem. They make the best breakfast burritos in town.“

“Hands down the best Mexican restaurant the food they serve you is so delicious and super fresh super recommended this place the only thing I wished they had was pico de gallo salsa with the chips“

“Man if I could I would stop here once a day. The churros are hot fresh and most delicious. Actually getting ready to head that way now to get some of the deliciousness! 10/10 would recommend“

“Love the customer service, really amazing people I always try to come twice a week for the amazing food 😁“

“Food is very good but the cashier with the beard is very grumpy. The young man Harold is smelling good and he’s a really good worker with a great attitude“

“Absolutely love this place“

“small friendly restaurant“

“Las muchachas te ofrecen un buen servicio y son muy amables.“

“En tiempo y forma llegaron los huarachitos de mi bebé, la calidad del material es buena y sobre todo los costos muy accesibles...la atención ni se diga, súper cálida❤️“

“I saw their FB post and it sounded interesting, so I Googled them to take a look at their whole menu. What caught my eye was the birria egg rolls, so I thought I’d give them a try, and boy am I glad I did. I opted for the avocado salsa and that made them even more yummy. Will have guacamole on hand next time because I think that would be amazing, will definitely be getting those again.“

“Definitely worth it! Delicious food! Looking forward to going back!“

“It's actually better today then it was a year ago. They appear to have finally fixed the drive-thru speakers. What I found strange though is that my taco salad seemed to be almost upside down... it used to be the refried beans in the bottom, then lettuce, then everything else. Today the lettuce (actually I believe it was thin cut cabbage) was on top. Which kind of made everything underneath a big mess. However, the overall flavor was good and the carne asada was not overcooked. Only major request I have is to provide several taco sized flour tortillas when people order carne asada plates instead of one burrito sized one.“

“I'm disappointed in myself for waiting so long to try this place! The restaurant is very clean and well lit and the staff is super friendly. We tried the fish tacos, shrimp tacos and pork street tacos. All were exceptional! The salsa bar is amazing with tasty salsa, crisp pickled carrots and yummy grilled onions with whole jalepeno! And the best part... the price! It's hard to find any food places open past 9pm or affordable anymore, in Bend. I'm happy to say, " We've found our new spot!"“

“Love the street tacos! With carne sadat, but my friends love it with many other meat options that they offer. Delicious!

Parking: Everything was made with the freshest of ingredients. They didn't charge me extra for Pico. De gallo and lime on the side and so that was really nice of them. I really always appreciate that because it rarely happens. Usually you get way overcharged, when you ask for little extras like that, so“

“I've only ate at this store. I understand there are three in Salem. They have a variety of hot sauce all of which is awesome. I wish I had taken photos. My wife had a chimichanga, I had the chile verde burrito, my daughter the fajita plate with shrimp. We also ordered chile rellenos a la carte. I don't really care for chile rellenos but it was all delicious. They young lady at the window was a sweetheart and could answer all of our questions. Well trained - Good Management. This store is drive thru only.“

“The 3 Quesabirrias with Consome are the bomb.“

“If you haven't tried this place yet, you HAVE TO. They're food is sooo good I can not explain how good their food is. The salsa they make taste amazing compare to restaurant level. Their service is definitely a 10/10, same thing with their food service and portion.“
