Ordered the nachos and wife got the fajita mexicana plate. Nachos were piled high and was very tasty. Had fajita meat guacamole and sour cream and pico de gallo refried beans and cheese on them. The fajita mexicicana plate the wife said everything was good. Came with charro beans rice and homemade corn tortillas. The only negative thing is the chips were bag chips not in house made. Good service a little slow for the number of guest. Highly recommend! read more

First the food was pretty good. But not out of this world. And the service was great. The place is cute and clean. But I got a spicy margarita and it was tiny and awful. Was also bummed to see that they charged me for one tortilla which is pretty insulting when you have a $100 bill for dinner. I would be willing to come back but there are so many other places to try in the area I won't be coming back in a hurry. read more

I had the ribs in green sauce. The sauce / gravy was delicious but the ribs could've been more meaty, especially given the price. The beans and rice were also very good but the portions were tiny. Server was nice but it took too long to get the food and it took too long to get the check. read more

We waited an hour for our table of 10 to be seated (keep in mind this was a Friday on a game day weekend). Nonetheless, we were able to walk around Bryan until we received a text that our table was ready. Everyone enjoyed the chips and queso. The salsa was a bit bland, but still fine to eat. None of us had complaints for any of our dishes and cocktails. The service was attentive and friendly. We would definitely go back. read more

Casa Monarca Mexican Cantina - Birria Quesadillas - Mexican Near Me - Bryan, Texas

checked out casa monarca for the first time today for lunch! What a cute setup the restaurant has! The lunch menu is great- $12 for your entree plus drink is a really good deal these days. The chips are fluffy and enjoyable along with the salsa- the salsa isn't spicy at all but that's ok as i'm sure it caters to more people this way. I would enjoy it if there was a spicy salsa option too. The kids meal is a great deal at $5 for the cheese quesadilla. The service was pretty good- our lady was quick once we got her attention. We did have to remind her of things but it's ok, this place is new and i always extend grace to new places. Definitely recommend! read more

They have homemade flour and corn tortillas. They also have molcajete which is very good. . I found the rice and refried beans served with the molcajete to superb in taste as well. read more

The food and service is fantastic. I'm so glad they parked themselves in downtown Brian. It's a great addition to the neighborhood.! you can't have just one chip at that place. They are quite special. You just have to try them to understand! The chips alone will bring you back! read more

Great location in Downtown Bryan. The starter chips and hot sauce are awesome and so fresh. Not sure what they do to their chips but they are not your normal Mexican restaurant chops. Obvi homemade! I went with a group of 7 and the food and service was on point! They are known for their birria. It did not disappoint. It is beef and very tasty. Quesadilla was awesome. We had both chicken and beef! Don't miss out on the churro cheesecake. I was skeptical, but very happy I was forced to try it. It gets busy at night, but Saturday lunch was not crowded at all on July. read more

Best mini flautas ever! I worked with Oscar to secure a catering order for my husbands birthday. Everything was professional and a great price per person. We had a nacho and flauta bar, along with mixed fajita tacos. I would also recommend a gallon of the rocks margs (STRONG)! I would highly recommend them for any party or large order needs. read more

Clean, great service and wonderful food. Good prices too. Large dining area. Fully stocked bar with beer and margaritas. read more

Love, love this place. Tacos were amazing, chips and salsa very flavorful and atmosphere was very relaxing. Was there on a Friday they were busy so we sat at the bar, our bartender Gabby was attentive and very friendly as well as all the other bartenders. Drinks were absolutely perfect. Cannot wait to go back to try the picadillo nachos. read more

Very fun decorations for the holidays. Great date spot with amazing food. Some of the best happy hour prices on food and drink.

Outstanding food and service. I had enchiladas verdes and they were some of the best. We'll be back!

Service was good. Food was not very good. I had enchiladas and the corn tortillas were very tough. On the good side the salsa was very good as was the queso. read more

Food and drinks are outstanding. Diana was a fantastic server and very patient with our large group, including kids.

We had great service from Mari and look forward to going back to try some of the other items on the menu

The food was really good, the chips are the best I ever had, the staff were really amazing, and the atmosphere were relaxing.

Best nachos I've ever had- specifically the picadillo nachos. Seriously shocking! Such a huge portion too, and no skimping on the toppings at all. read more

The food was absolutely excellent! I can't complain at all. Our server was very friendly and patient with us. He was quick to help and was consistent. The atmosphere is really nice too!

We enjoyed a delicious meal. The queso flameado along with a house margarita was a great way to start our dining experience. Gisela, our server was very friendly and efficient. The Asada de Puerco had a rich sauce and tender pork. The enmoanadas came out steaming hot with shredded chicken in a flakey crust.

Absolutely amazing food with great staff. This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem. Make sure you try the Paloma and the Mocajete. Both were prepared perfectly and were definitely worth the price. We will be back! read more

Finally, an authentic Mexican food restaurant! Our waitress was amazing! Food was delicious & my Spicy Margarita was so tasteful! We will be returning to try other items on their menu. Only downfall, as we always sit at the bar, their bar stools are so uncomfortable & tilt forward so much we were sliding off! read more

Chips were good and unique, like there was seasoned flour on the tortillas when they were frying them. The salsa tasted a little spaghetti-ish, possibly due to Italian seasoning. Ordered queso to pair with the good chips. Cheesy enchiladas were delicious but the tinga chicken needs salt and seasoning. Tried both soups on the menu, don't think we finished either. Both soups needed salt/seasoning. The restaurant wasn't busy during the off hours, but we still had to flag down our waitress. This place would be perfect for older folks that need low sodium food with minimal seasoning. read more

After a twenty minute wait for a table and an hour long wait for our food, we finally received the entree only for it to be incorrect not once but twice. After requesting to speak to the manager, he had the audacity to say that they couldn't do anything about an hour long wait for our food. I finally told them never mind, I no longer wanted the food. On top of the long waits, and incorrect order, our waitress was less than pleasant. I I absolutely do not recommend this restaurant! They have very poor customer service, and management does not seem interested in improving the experience. Do yourself a very big favor and go elsewhere! read more

Great atmosphere, staff and food was amazing! Prices are fair, will definitely go back!

Excellent food but service was not good. We waited an hour to eat and they acted as though it was normal since the prioritized a larger party. My wife ordered vegetable quesadillas since they are extremely limited on vegetable options and she was treated by the waitress as though something was wrong with her for asking. She asked what vegetables they had for quesadillas since they didn't have spinach. The waitress stated "We don't have any vegetables, only zucchini". Last I checked that's a vegetable. After an hour, they brought bell peppers and onions, no zucchini. Ugh after "smart body language "! Though they removed her charge from the bill at the very least. read more

We arrived around 4pm on a Saturday & were seated promptly. The restaurant was quite busy, with patrons eating & chatting. We ordered our beverages & queso blanco, then we received chips & salsa as well. The chips were unbelievable! They were kinda puffy & warm, great crunch & they held the salsa & queso well. The salsa was amazing, delicious tomato & cilantro flavor with a hint of spice. The queso was fantastic, perfect consistency, had pieces of pepper inside, just outstanding. For entrees, my wife & I both ordered the enchiladas with queso & shredded chicken. You can tell these are authentically homemade; the chicken was definitely cooked & seasoned, shredded on site & the enchiladas were filling & delicious. They were covered in queso plus additional cheese on top, with rice/beans & pico as well. We remarked how good everything tasted & how satisfied we were. Our server was attentive but not overbearing, the food was beyond exceptional. Overall a tremendous dining experience not to be missed. read more

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! Will be coming back! Authentic beautifully prepared food. Large portions that weee presented well!

Great food and service. Loved the quesabirria taco and the queso flameado!! Will definitely be back to explore more of their menu.

The food is amazing! The asado de puerco was not a let down. Casa Monarca is definitely a change for the Bryan community with authentic food. The peach margarita was great and would definitely recommend. As for the atmosphere, it's very aesthetic and is the spot to go for a cute dinner date. Service is very welcoming with attentive waitresses as well!! read more

Y'all! This place is great! There so much mexican food in this town but only a few places I think are good. Had the enchiladas verdes. Really good. WAY better than the typical. (I order the same thing often) Service was great. Nice, clean, cool restaurant. Many birria options. Should have taken a photo before I gobbled it all up! Yum. Let's make sure to keep this one around. (No relation to restaurant/ownership, etc - real review!) read more

Some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. The birria was new to be and it was amazing. Try the tacos. You will not be disappointed. Their chips are homemade and hot sauce is perfect. My only suggestion is expanding the drink menu. Modelo Especiall is the number 1 beer in the country. Also you need better vodkas like Ketel One or Grey Goose. I loved this place and it's my new favorite. I will be back!! read more
