    Birria Pizza
    Key J.

    As you can tell by now, the birria pizza is my fave. I was a little sad to see the price went up (from $25 to $29) but still so worth it. Tried some new drinks this time around. The Miami vice was huge and tasted very good!! The lemonade came with a popsicle on the side, this was a nice touch.

    Si buscas auténtica comida mexicana en Fort Lauderdale, El Taquito es una parada obligatoria Ubicado justo frente a la playa, con vista al mar, es un lugar muy casual y sencillo, ideal para relajarte y disfrutar de platillos que te transportan directo a México. Desde los tacos hasta sus especialidades, cada bocado está lleno de frescura y sazón. Ya sea después de un día de playa, con amigos o en familia, aquí encuentras el balance perfecto entre sabor, ubicación y buena vibra. Definitivamente un lugar que vale la pena conocer en la ciudad. El servicio bueno y amigable. Los tacos de birria y el guacamole con chicharron simplemente espectacular. Tambien recomiendo las enchiladas y burritos. Los tragos tambien muy buenos sobretodo el Margarita Flight

    Fun place to have a date night. Music was good. We ordered the jalapeño chorizo cheese dip. I didn't taste any jalapenos but the dip was okay. We ended up getting the surf and turf was really good. The sides were okay. The sour cream didn't taste right but it could have been sitting out for a while. Service was a little slow but we had a good time here

    Stopped into this nice little restaurant across from the beach in Fort Lauderdale, FL at 6:30 pm. No wait, and seated right away. Really enjoyed 3 steak tacos special ($12.99), and the chicken quesadilla. Two margaritas had the right amount of alcohol (classic and strawberry on the rocks). The Esquites (elotes) was really good as well. All food was really flavorful and served hot. Staff were very attentive and friendly. No pics of food or margaritas (enjoyed it too quickly). Stop on in and enjoy!!!

    The food was amazinggggg. It was extremely hot outside so we immediately ordered margaritas to cool us down lol. All the flavors were a hit. This restaurant is on the corner and is really small. Everyone here is very pleasant and helpful. Did I mention the food was amazing!! Definitely recommend 10/10. I will be coming back! Ordered: Margarita flight - refreshing and just enough liquor Surf and turf fajitas - really good Churrasco quesadillas - packed with flavor topped with avocado, tomatoes and cilantro. Birria pizza - star of the show. Mouth watering, cheesy, packed with flavor 10/10.

    Great service! Amazing food! Chill open vibe. Overall a great experience and would love to come back! Great location off the beach with a garage door. Buy one get one margarita special. Ask for Abigail and Wilmer! Best service.

    Margarita on the rocks with salt rim

    Just married and we have had a long night of partying, this is the spot for a quick meal or snack to boost you up. Hungover or not. Best beachside food I've had thus far. Our waiters have been especially kind and we had a delicious margarita on the rocks, with salt rim, sublime. The chips with guac and chicharones are especially filling for an appetizer.

    Casa Monarca is hands down my favorite Mexican spot in FTL right now. From the moment you walk in,…read morethe staff is always on point, super attentive and genuinely welcoming every single time. I noticed the staff even telling the uber delivery drivers to drive safe. That's genuine! I've sat at both tables and the bar, and the bar easily wins for me. Especially on karaoke nights. it brings such a fun, lively energy to the place that makes you want to stay longer than planned. The place is also decorated super cute too. Funny enough, I actually heard about Casa Monarca directly from the owner. Total random moment, I was telling a friend how much I love tacos, and he happened to be a friend of my friend. He told me to check it out, and I'm glad I remembered and listened because he definitely didn't steer me wrong. Food never disappoints. I've tried a bunch of different things. The chorizo tacos, elote, verde enchiladas, quesadillas, and nachos. I make it a point to switch it up every visit. Everything I've had has been fire!! Next on my list is the choripollo, and I already know it's going to hit. Parking is easy too, which is always a plus. They've got a big lot so no stressing there. I did hear they're moving locations very soon (I think this week?) but it's just a few minutes away. They definitely didn't lose a customer. 10/10 recommend Casa Monarca. If you're in FTL and want some fire Mexican food with good energy staff and locals, this is the spot.

    Casa Monarca closed on Federal Highway and *poof* opened up on Prospect Road…read more Upon entering I took a quick look around: It's smaller with lots of tables and a few booths. Still an attractive interior. Two very nice servers were on the floor. We just missed lunch so the dinner menu was our only option. They brought the complementary chips and salsa (which some places now have the nerve to charge for), it's a tasty salsa. Ordered some "fresh made" guac (it better be!) which was made better with a few squeezes of lime juice. We decided to try the combo platters since the kitchen was new and it's a good test. My dining companion opted for shredded beef burrito and a ground beef chili relleno. I went with a ground beef tostada and shredded chicken enchilada. With the requisite beans and rice. Look, it was good food, not knock your socks off cuisine. I mean we consciously chose Mex-American so that's on us. The menu offers some other interesting options that I'd order next time. My only gripe is a dry enchilada. I like them swimming in red sauce and cheese which this was not. Otherwise, as I stated, nothing to complain about. The price point is decent for dinner in Fort Lauderdale. Btw I love a good tostada and mine was pretty darn yummy.

Even though it was happy hour, our server was very attentive and didn't disappear when it came to refills like at other restaurants.

It's hard to tell and the menu doesn't really help clarify the identity either. The drinks are just okay. They get the job done but nothing about them stands out or makes you want to order a second round. Honestly there are better spots around Wilton Manors for the same type of food, but I get why people keep coming back -- it's become a bit of a staple on The Drive and there's something to be said for that. If you're in the area and the community is gathering there, it's absolutely worth checking out for the experience. Just go in without super high expectations and you'll probably have a fine time.

(With lots of tequilas, beers, and craft cocktails) We had a group of 7 on a Saturday night. We tried to get a reservation but after many calls; no one ever answered the phone. We decided to risk it because we were going pretty early, 6:00. We did have to attend an 8;00 show at the Broward Center which is just 1/2 a mile away. The place was pretty empty and we had no problem getting a few tables put together. There is a very extensive menu with lots of apps, a few salads, enchiladas, fajitas, and at least 15 taco varieties. I ordered a reposado margarita, which was fabulous, for $15. For food I went with the Trio of Tacos for $18. There was one chicken taco, one carnitas taco, and one gringo beef taco. The tortillas were small; but they were piled high! They were also tasty. One friend had the Citrus Mango Shrimp Tacos, $19. She said they were very good. Two friends had the Baja Fish Tacos on our servers recommendation, $19. One friend said they were just ok because they weren't crunchy at all and she didn't care for the cilantro slaw filling, the other friend thought they were delicious and savory! Yet another friend had the chicken nachos. She didn't care for them at all because they had a cheese sauce as opposed to authentic shredded cheese. Our waiters were attentive; but we did have a little delay with one of the fish taco orders. Everyone had food except for one diner and we had to flag down a server and wait quite a while for her to finally get her meal. Everyone on the staff was friendly though, and they didn't mind giving us separate checks. If you are looking for casual Mexican dining, or just want to have a few appetizers and drinks; Bandoleros is a good option that won't break the bank!
