From the moment I walked in, she made me feel welcome with her warm smile and attentive service. She was knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations that perfectly suited my tastes.

Throughout the meal, Maria ensured everything was perfect—checking in at just the right moments without being intrusive. Her professionalism and friendly demeanor truly elevated the experience. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated to making guests feel valued, and Maria does it effortlessly.

If you’re visiting Cantina Monarca, I highly recommend asking for Maria—she’ll make sure you have an outstanding dining experience!“

“Very disciplined operation—they do a nice job of running the dinner and music in a well choreographed manner. I've always been impressed with the kitchen, the food doesn't get the credit it deserves. Excellent pork chop and chicken with bold flavoring done well. Service attentive, music comes off without a hitch. It's just a well run ship.“
