I learned I'm not a fan of Casamigos repasado tequila in margaritas due to its vanilla notes. Next time, I'll choose a different margarita. The spicy mezcal cocktail was delicious. A other pro, the prices are reasonable. Two cocktails and two entrees, including a tip, came to about $50. We left feeling full and happy. Highly recommended for a cozy, budget-friendly meal!

From the appetizers to the entrées, everything is seasoned perfectly and comes out hot and fresh. The portions are generous, and the drinks complement the food so well. It's one of those places where you're already planning what you're ordering next time before you even leave. The vibe is great, the atmosphere feels lively but still comfortable, and the whole experience just hits. If you're in Monroe and want genuinely delicious food, Monarca is a must. I'll definitely be back.

I deicded to order a decaffeinated coffee because inside the restaurant it was very cold inside. Not sure if they do have heat sitting near the window or not but I sure wish there was heat. I started off with having chicken Pollo soup which was alright I wish it said what inside the soup . I was happy that it was taco Tuesday so half off tacos. My favorite was the general tso chicken taco. I decided to also get the chicken Pollo the taco was a bit soggy. I also gotten the Rib Eye but it didnt taste like it , it tasted more like steak. The service was a bit slow , other then that everything tasted really good.
