“Amazing atmosphere with awesome customer service and a superb menu.

Menu was short and on-point. The Tacos de Filete are to die for, a must have if you come visit! Highly recommend the Royal Margarita, and the Guava Margarita! The bartender had the drinks just perfect!

The chill room was on-point with the atmosphere. Monarca is now our number one spot to relax and have a good time.“

“The tacos are the best in town NO DOUBT. I think they are the closest to real Mexican tacos ive had in Texas. Burritos are GIGANTIC. The order of rolled tacos (3) or (5) are very full of beef so dont underestimate them in the pictures. Sauces are great, so is the service!

*would reccomend eating outside
*would reccomend cleaning the restrooms more regularly and/or updating the sink as it looks dirty but it might just be old.

Kid-friendliness: Kids menú available: great prices and kids love the options“

“Very nice restaurant in the Woodlands area. Our server was quick to greet us and very friendly. I ordered the Stuffed Avocado with rice and beans. It was okay. Rice was bland and the refried beans were hard. My boyfriend ordered the Chicken Caldo and although it was really red he really liked the flavor. My parents ordered the Fajita Platter for one with charro beans and rice. They really enjoyed the flavor of the fajitas and the charro beans. I did like the Queso dip!“

I invite you to visit the place, you will not regret it“
