Unfortunately, I started feeling sick before I even left the restaurant and continued feeling unwell the following day. My friend who ate with me also became extremely sick afterward and ended up going to the hospital, where they were treated for food poisoning. I've had plenty of good experiences here before, so this was really upsetting and definitely makes me hesitant about coming back right now.

First, our host was gracious since we had to leave for different reasons! But not before mentioning…read morethat we ALL noticed some delay in serving us - a big person arrived just after and understably such regulars are more important than us so we were not reactive. But coming from Houston, Mexican food is something we cherish and the chips and watered down salsa that came late was not having any flavor, so was disappointed - but people seem good.... Ambiance would have been good if the food was worth it, no??? I could even forego the poor hosting.

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.

Carne asada was a plain tasteless flank steak. Refried beans watery. Even the water tasted off which is unsettling for a restaurant. Should have been first warning. Service was noticeably slow.

The Margs are the main reason I won't return. I ordered top shelf and was very disappointed. They go for quantity, not quality.
