“Great little taco stand with some of the best carne asada street tacos I've had in a long time! Perfect pit stop on the way home from Snoqualmie pass!

Parking: Parking lot and street parking.”

“I cannot recommend this place enough! When you walk in, it’s so clean and welcoming! The staff is so friendly and the food is incredible - portions are hearty and delicious! Do yourself a favor, take yourself out to eat soon!”

“My favorite taco truck in town. I would also prefer to eat here than any of the Mexican restaurants in town too. Love their tripe or carne asada street tacos and their sopes. Oh and their salsa is the best.”

“Very good food with a nice atmosphere and good service. My wife and I enjoy eating here frequently. Definitely recommend. The only criticism I'd have is that the Naan quality seems a little inconsistent. Sometimes it's great and sometimes is is a little spongy and lacking in crispiness. That said, it's a great place for good food! We will definitely be back.

EDIT: we've been back several times since the original review and the naan had been consistently good every time. Thank you guys!”

“We had food delivered/set-up for a 'Celebration of Life' by J&L BBQ. We had never tried this place, and we can't say enough good things about them. The Beef Brisket was the best I've ever had! The chicken thighs were exactly what I hoped for...large, smokey, MOIST! The Cowboy Caviar was excellent! Also, I normally don't like cornbread because it's so dry. This cornbread was so moist, and it could even be enjoyed with no honey/butter...it was delicious! Everyone raved about the food. We especially want to complement our delivery person (Rance?). He was so kind and accommodating. We highly recommend this place, and the owner Joel was extra special for us!”

“Very good tasty food, fresh salad and nice inside, clean and comfortable, friendly and professional table service and actual plates and glasses and flatware to eat with, imagine that in 2026. Very nice casual sit down meal place and not expensive”

“The carne asada and especially the adobada tacos are to die for! The very best in Yakima that I have eaten! The cheesy carne asada quesadilla are deliciuos and surprisingly has a lot of meat! The super burrito was juicy and has a good taste but unfortunately seemed to lack a little meat according to my standards but other than that it was still good! Plus...it you like hot sauces, they have habanero, amongst other hot sauces and they even have guacamole sauce!”

“We stopped here to share a plate before driving home to Kitsap County. You order at the counter and we were helped immediately. We shared a honey garlic chicken and a side of bbq pork. We were served quickly and enjoyed our food. This order is not spicy but was very tasty as was the bbq pork. We left satisfied and will come back again if we are in the Monroe area.”

“Food is always Good. Service has been trending down lately. But if you get one of the last OG bar tenders youll be good. But $2 for a small ranch cup is crazy. I spent more money on ranch for a pizza than i did for my beer. Im ok with paying an extra buck for ranch or something but $2 a piece is crazy work. At least fill them to the brim.”

“Absolutely love this place! The beer is consistently fantastic—creative, well-balanced, and clearly brewed with care. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to recommend something new to try. If you're in Monroe and love craft beer, this is a must-visit spot!”

“Great service and most of the my coffee is ready by the time I get to the window”

“A little late. I went here a year ago, food was great, price was on par with similar places, the cocktails were awesome, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is amazing.”

“Fantastic venue, delicious eats, wonderful whiskey selection!! A nice cozy place to enjoy good conversation with good people!”

“Once again a wonderful meal at El Paraiso! Took some out of town family today and all had a great experience. Great, quick service and friendly staff. Finished plates quickly removed with grace and drink refills right on time. Wonderful view of the lake with water fowl swimming and relaxing atmosphere.”

“I had a wonderful experience here with my family for my sisters birthday! Everything that was ordered was delicious! We enjoyed our Seafood Ragu, bone in pork chop, braised beef Mac n cheese, fried green tomatoes with the house made Ricotta, and more. And topped it off with a strawberry Mojito. Everything was fabulous and we can’t wait to be back! Oh and a special thanks to our server Blake who was helpful in making suggestions as to what I should get between the food I was contemplating. Thank you Lewis and Main for a fantastic first time experience!”

“Incredibly fresh poke! The squid salad side was amazing! I don’t have to drive to Redmond anymore!!!”

“Came in Aug. 5-25 for a delicious blueberry, lavender and lemon smoothie! You have got to try people, it's so damn good. The young lady working was so sweet and very helpful. Very efficient and fast at getting not only my order but three others order in like 2 min!!! That's wild. Didn't catch her name but she's amazing.”

“their menu is diverse and a great menu. their beer on draft is massive. so the atmosphere, food, and drinks makes it a great place.”

“Love this place Grace is incredible.”

“I came in with my parents on Christmas Eve and the fajitas you made me were the best I ever had. The hostess and the waitress delivered top notch service. They were both so kind and attentive. In fact, I would go so far as to say that my experience at your restaurant is the best experience I’ve ever had at a Mexican restaurant.”

“The sauces they use are very sweet. I ordered Mo golian Beef, but it tasted nothing like the traditional flavor. More like beef, onion and carrot stir fry with a strange, sweet sauce. Some may like the sweet, but it's not my thing. They were quick to take my to go order, and the time from then to receiving it was pretty quick as well.”

“Thank you to Sabrina and Relina for taking such good care of us and opening Dreadnaught's doors for our Celebration of my father Art Dahlgren's Life. Dad loved a really good beer, and Dreadnaught did not disappoint! the beer, service, and venue were perfect!”

“These guys (Lawrence and Davey) completely turned this place around, it’s now amazing! Such a great place to have in Monroe!”

“What a drink today, thank you Danny! ­ Returning home for the holidays where last week I visited my cherished Lord Hill Espresso - was in for my classic triple mocha there from Courtney and it was great. Loved being back in with this stand and team where I had been raised back through my college years. A delicious beverage and experience there with Courtney, thank you guys! And then this morning, as I pulled in I thought "well I have a new drink these days that I miss, but it is complex!!" Or fancy at least, and a bit silly I hope they won't laugh. But Justin loves it - ok lets try. Danny & Maddy were in this morning, amidst busy lines out both sides but when I pulled up their focus was to me, premier customer service and kindness as I pulled in. And Maddie's 'Salt Bae Seasoning Guy' chuckles drew me a quick smile too bringing me to ease, where Danny smoothly received my order next and their craft began. ­ And then this latte, A dirty venti soy chai, with all sorts of detail and effect which Danny handled seamlessly, producing the most delicious example of my creation I have experienced yet - ­ Beautiful! • This taste where did this come from - WOW • Cinnamon character and presence was great!! Felt fancy, and was rich with taste • Foam was delicious but not too much, balanced nicely at a great temperature too (140°? Warm but not impressing, just right - Starbucks always toasts this drink, 160°++!! Not here, was perfect this morning)👌🏻 • Your soy milk has an organic character I'm not used to too, loved it • Its finish on my palette, a minute later was so gorgeous it became distracting while driving - wow • Her memory and delivery of this drink, beautiful!! • Their friendliness & connection ­­ Thank you guys for making my holidays bright :)”

“My order was a next-day delivery to a local business. When asked what time I’d like, I requested 10am, as my crew works from 6-2pm. Lilly blew all of us away by coming in the next day early, as Jet City doesn’t open until 3pm…I mean, WOW!! Blown away! All of us! It was there by 9:45am I think.

Outstanding. Thank you!!

The two Jumbo Jets I ordered were delivered early and tasted so awesome!”

“The BEST coffee you will ever drink. Do not waste your money on anything else. I have been a Vinnacio customer for 18 years!”

“Really cute space. Good customer service and good coffee. They have games like cribbage. Would go again.
I got a 12 oz Honey latte, and they do 2 shots so that’s good.”

“We really enjoyed our dinner at El Rey Kallio. If you’re looking for good drinks, tasty tacos and excellent service, it’s the place to be.”

“I love this restaurant we go on special occasions and it’s always worth it.”

“Bomb coffee & friendly gals!”

“Very good, authentic food; one of the best in town. Love the family run feel. ♥️”

“The girl working here was soooo friendly and fun. Loved the drink I got and the stuffed pretzel was so good.”

“For a strip mall bar/taproom this place kills it. The food is tasty and the service is fast. Hit it up anytime of day and I’ll bet you have a swinging good time. They have an outdoor patio and there were even some cute pups out there enjoying the place. Might be the best strip mall experience I’ve had since Venice beach.”

“Great food and drinks.
Fast service.
Friendly and kind waitress.
Unique atmosphere.
Whatever you do don’t go to the one in Sultan. This one is way better. Worth the money.”

“Great authentic Mexican snacks. Her horchata is one of the best horchata I've ever had!!!The service is amazing and even when it's crowded you have your order really fast.”

“This place is insane! I came in first thing in the morning to buy tamales and just had a mouth orgasm. 😂 I don’t know what else I could say. These tamales were a 20/10! They had chicken pork and jalapeño and cheese. They are huge and the most flavorful thing I’ve ever eaten. This place is for sure a hidden gem. If you love Mexican food or you love tamales, this is where you want to go there isn’t anyone else anywhere even near here that has anything like this.”

“Pizza is good and value is high but the pie does not bake well in my gas oven. Was perfect when I had an electric oven (Love at 425) but have failed on several attempts with gas oven.”

“Great staff, great tea. I always get a medicine ball, and it's always absolutely perfect! This is great because many places make drinks that always taste different.”

“Best Pho in town! We love coming here.”

“This was the best Chinese food I have ever had! Spring rolls were delicate and not greasy, dumplings were seared, fresh and came with dipping sauces. Kung Pao chicken was perfection. Also want to state that the food is not over salted, so I could taste the flavors of the ingredients. Hot and sour soup was YUM.”

“I crave this food! We eat here weekly. I dream about the broth. They have bahn mi sandwiches as well. I can feed my whole family for $40, which is nearly impossible today even at factory farm fast food places. It’s great to know you can still get healthy delicious food, especially in Monroe. One day I spoke to the owner and learned about bis background. Fascinating that someone of his background can make such an awesome family run business. A testament to his grit!”

“Owners are friendly and kind! Food is Amazing! The choices for sides and types of Burgers! Also, there are Seafood Combo options, chicken items, types of dip sandwiches! Don’t forget to add a shake if you have room because the portions are phenomenal!”

“Food is good and staff are friendly. As a vegetarian I personally wont eat here but all my kids can get different items and be happy and full so its a great family friendly kid happy place!”

“The quality of fast food here is just awesome. Every time we visit I order a Fish Soft Taco which is huge- huge!- and seriously delicious. There's some delightful flavor experiences wrapped up in that one taco! I don't even get the meal, but my children love their kids' meals. Healthy choices! I also LOVE their platter entrees which are only about $6 and their served on a real plate, if you eat in. This place is a great little treat.”

“This my number one place to buy pan dulcet. ITS fresh and ready to bag. Clean place,different varieties of products. Love the service, they are very pleasant and easy to talk to.”

“The only negative is that you have to take it to go, but that may be advantageous for the business. The food is great, prices are still competitive, but I wish I didn't have to reheat it before eating it.”

“My husband loves this place. We’ve been coming here for a few years and doing take out. The portions are great, and the food is tasty. Bonus points because tonight we ordered a chicken teriyaki for my daughter and they pre cut the chicken into small bites for her. Thoughtful and great customer service.”

“One of our favorite Go-To spots on date night!”

“Main Street Cafe is a MUST stop. This place has the very best food. With the awesome waitstaff and fresh ingredients, you just can't get any better.”

“Husband and I were looking for a place to have a sit down breakfast nothing close to Monroe so we decided to come in and see how this place was since the remodel. We remember it as Harvey’s Airport Restaurant. They’re special was ham n eggs with hash browns that’s what we got and I couldn’t be happier all good fast service. Thanx for a great breakfast and day.”

“great food, great service”

“Service here has always been friendly and . I purchased all white meat chicken teriyaki and had a special request for the preparation of the chicken for this meal and this is the only place in Monroe that didn't have an issue with cutting up the meat for this dinner item. Everything I've tried so far has been great, meat freshly cooked and never gristled..definitely recommend this restaurant.
MY REVIEW IS NOT FAKE EITHER KELLY TANKSLY, BUT YOURS IS!”

“Best sushi I've ever had. I'm not exactly a sushi fan, but I love thiers!”

“I was helped by Dustin (guy in the plaid shirt) at this Fred Meyer Starbucks in Monroe, WA. He was great and friendly. Helped upsell the mango dragonfruit drink into a lemonade, the biggest cup size they have, and low ice for more drink! Excellent customer service. I know he was just doing his job, but if he/that location could get some recognition that'd be great :)”

“Great food. Clean overall. Good people.
This door is getting chained up an hour before the restaurant officially closes.
It's a Fire Code violation. This is one thing I'm very concerned about.”

“Love Alfys. I used to work at the 1 in Lake Stevens, years ago. Miss it. The Alfys in Monroe, had pizza, just like I remember. Thank u to the person behind the pizza that night, I didn't share a single bite. If your in Monroe, eat at Alfys. You ll be happy you did.....”

“I love Starbucks, and I enjoy coming here to study. It's a friendly environment and the new renovation makes it really nice inside.”

“Really wanted to say thank you to Chloe! She makes the real atmosphere in that restaurant, without you, it would be just an ordinary place with no soul! You are the brilliant! Thank you for bringing to us your positivity and your love 💕”
