So I'm late to the game... I've heard about this place for over a year now. Well last night I found…read moremyself in Monroe, and I had a chance to finally see what all the hype is about. I'm here to say publicly for the world to see. I don't like this place... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! If you're in the area, you must stop by and have a bite to eat here. This place is worth planning a trip to the Monroe area. I was blown away by the quality of taste, the friendly atmosphere, service and just how fast my food came out. I love this place, I'm a fan and I will be back this weekend to eat again! Tacos and Beer is my thing now!

The second Strange Taco location I'm aware of, the first being a much smaller location in…read moreLawrenceville, this new location boasts all the same creative fare you're used to from the creators of Local Republic, but in tacos. From creative names, too creative flavors, you won't be let down at Strange Taco. I ordered the B-ATL salad and added chicken. As the name suggests, it's bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, and a green goddess dressing. It also has cheese. It's a great salad and also available in taco form. The OG tacos here are also awesome. Personal preference, but the cheese dip is a little bland and a little pricey, so maybe skip it, and get a nice beer instead, they have a decent selection of local options and your favorites.

Great tacos. Great beer. Great atmosphere. We ordered to go. It was hot and ready when expectedread more

Met some family at the airport in Atlanta, half of us flew in from Texas the other half from…read moreColorado. All on our way to Athens. We were starving. We all agreed on Mexican food and this was one that was still open and on the way. We literally got there 30 minutes before they closed, I hate being those people that walk in as they're getting ready to close. The host was so nice, recommending foods, making small accommodations. The food came out and there was so much and it was so good. The salsa was amazing. I can't say enough good stuff about this place. Next time were back in the area I want to come back. So good. I should have took a picture but we ate it so fast it was so yummy.

When in Monroe, we've always been pleased over the last few years about our ordinary Mexican…read morefavorite (the one named after the Kitchen Fountain), but have been looking for a "wow" experience recently. With that in mind, we decided to give the other Mexican places in town a shot. Our first try was The Party Grill (La Fiesta). The overflow of paperwork and office equipment piled up on tables directly in front of you as you open the door had my bride immediately scanning the walls for a health score. 89, if you're interested - borderline for her. But we soldiered on. The decor could be nice, but parts are worn and old; the floors are in good shape, but the vinyl seat in the booth was torn. But I'm not fussy (I enjoy eating from food trucks) so all these things we consider easy to look past if the menu is interesting. It isn't. The options are typical of every Tex-Mex joint from 1990, so we knew we weren't going to be trying anything new to our experience. And when your menu is a full-color 6-page spread in black ink on an orange background, using white-out under the price updates is glaringly obvious and a little sketchy. (Menu reprints are inexpensive these days, fellas.) But maybe the food is "off-the-charts" good? It isn't. The portions are about what you expect, and presented well. But - and here's the bit that made up our minds - what the hamburger meat lacked in chili powder and cumin it more than made up for in clove. I've never tasted clove in Mexican food before. Maybe we were wrong about not getting to try anything new to our experience. (We didn't like the clove-iness, in case you're wondering.) The rice had a canned vegetable flavor, mostly lima beans, which was equally off-putting. So is this review saying there is nothing worth saving? It isn't. The server was nice and attentive, and the price was decent (although at the high end of the market). With some minor upgrades to the decor, fresh (FRESH!) food in the kitchen, a new menu cut by half with a couple of unique specialty dishes added, and removing the office clutter away from the front door - well, then Monroe will have a battle on it's hand for "Best Mex". Is this something that can be done without spending a ton of cash? It is.

Come for the papusas!…read more Came by for lunch to try some menu items thinking it'll be quick as advertised. I would say the foods are pretty authentic though I would question the "fast". I had a 45 min break and the food took a good 30 minutes. We got the chicharron and cheese pupusas. Ordered 1 and ended up with 4, there's a small language barrier, pork tamales, and a burrito plate. I would probably only go back for the papusas. They were hot and fresh. Came with the pickled veges and sauce. Burrito was good and came covered with yummy cheese but left a bit to be desired. Located in a gas station you place your order at the counter and pay at the gas station register. There's one table but it was covered with merchandise. The gas station interior has always been very tight so definitely something they need to work on. You wouldn't be able to eat in comfortably.
