“If you're on a budget and looking for a lot of food,Taqueria Monarca is a great choice.Let's get all the great stuff out of the way.-The easiest menu to read and navigate-Taqueria Monarca will be the most Mexi-American restaurant in the area (no mental gymnastics when ordering)-A condiment buffet of homemade sauces, limes, cucumbers and radishes-Great place to have solid Mexican food and offers alcohol-Fun environment with indoor and outdoor seating-The CLEANEST Mexican restaurant (I dropped some sauces on the floor, I did my best to clean my mess. They came through within 5 minutes to give it a wipe down. I'M SORRY)-Whatever you select, you will get more than enough food to fill you upThe ordering system is very similar to that of Panera. Put in an order, you get a ringer when your food is ready. Pending on how much food you order, I got $40 for 3 plates, it can take between 5 and 10 minutes. More than enough time to navigate the sauce bar.In the sauce bar, you get the option of radish, cucumbers, and their selection of hot sauces. There are 5 sauces that are clearly labeled. If you have a high tolerance to heat, you won't break a sweet. The sauces are colorful and vibrant.My personal fav is the Avocado sauce, it was the most enjoyable and most flavor out of the 3 I had. In my opinion, the orange sauce (the hottest), the spice is as gone as a Wisconsin 2024 winter. The deeper smoky color sauce was okay.If you have a low tolerance for heat, the sauces offered may be perfect for you. While at the condiment bar, get your limes, it'll add more flavor to your dishes. You'll need it!I purchased Tacos, Tortas, and Quesadillas.The tacos at Taqueria Monarca are monstrous compared to other Mexican style restaurants in the area. A protein serving covers the tortilla surface. You are getting more than your fair share of food. It's a solid taco, at a great price.I got a steak Tortas. Bread was great. The steak was solid. The serving size was huge. It was priced right.The Quesadillas are also a solid choice.Overall, Taqueria Monarca has solid food. It's not as flavorful compared to other places that offer similar menu choices. But Taqueria Monarca offers some real value, for some solid food.If you're looking for a Mexican style restaurant that serves alcohol, easily ranks #1 for the area. Tight on a budget and want solid Mexican food, Taqueria Monarca is a great choice.You see the reoccurring theme: whatever you select, it's solid. I think Taqueria Monarca is better than the fast food Mexican style restaurants. The value is better, but the flavor is okay.“

“The people are all very nice and friendly, but the prices were a little high for how much food was received. $7 for 2 super tiny tacos with meat, onions, and cilantro. $.50 more for a dollop of sour cream. My husband got a burrito for $14, and he also said it was good, but not worth $14. Also, the menu was difficult to process lol, but other than that, everything else was good!“

“I love this place because it is a super good atmosphere to be in. All the staff are super understanding of what you need, and try to help as soon as possible. I LOVE THE FOOD!!! Señor Villa has the best Mexican food in the La crosse area, i've lived here my whole life, and tried just about everything. Señor Villa is the only Mexican restaurant I can find myself walking into time and time again.Wheelchair accessibility: My Grandma finds it hard to walk around, and so she really likes all of the handicap accessible places.“

“Customer service was excellent and super friendly. The place was very well maintained and had accessible seating. We ordered a strawberry horchata, Mexican cola, California burrito with Al pastor, super fries with lengua, and some churros that ended up being close to $40 all together. A bit on the expensive side especially compared to other local taco shops. The food did not lack quality or flavor AT ALL, but the only thing that was maybe disappointing was the quantity of meat in the burrito. The ratio between the pork, rice, and beans was off, and with the cost being already high, there should have been more. Otherwise, I highly recommend stopping by!“
