So this place was not the cleanest the walls were filthy at our both looks like some kids had a food fight but we looked passed it and decided to stay. Bad choice. So we ordered our food no problem i ordered chicken tacos something simple. My tacos came out and they definitely were not chicken turns out it was steak. Now to some people they would be delighted but not when you just had a detox from red meat so thanks for ruining that. Took some time to get someone back to the table to let them know my order was wrong and by then the food was cold anyways. I sent the tacos back and ordered French fries you can't mess that up right. WRONG! The fries were undercooked and pale as ever. I ended up eating nothing because I refuse to eat food from a place I have to send the food back multiple times at that point it's time to throw in the white flag. My niece food she said was ok she had steak with rice and beans but the steak lacked flavor. My sister had steak tacos she ate them because she was hungry but again no flavor. They also charged like $5 for some hot sauce which was strange so no condiments with tacos they just want you to eat them dry?! Overall bad experience will never return.

Waited 20 minutes for a waitress to come take our order when there were only 3 other tables of…read morecustomers there. After she took our order we never saw her again. Someone said they had seen her leave. The salsa tasted like plain tomato sauce with a few small strips of onion. No cilantro or seasonings. The chips were thin and crispy and were good though. A busboy or cook brought the food out. The Chicken Relleno Quesadilla only had chicken and cheese. Grilled onions, peppers, tomatoes, and beans were missing from the quesadilla. The side of refried beans was cold. The guacamole, sour cream, and lettuce salad was also missing on the side. Flagged a cook down and told him the order wasn't correct. He knew what was ordered but I still showed him on the menu. 15 minutes later he brought the plate back. By this time, others were basically finished eating so they had to wait on me. Only onions and peppers had been added to the quesadilla. The rest was still the same. The side of refried beans tasted bitter and had no salt. They were awful and inedible for me. The quesadilla tasted ok but would've been a whole lot better with the other missing ingredients. This is the 2nd time we've eaten here and we've been disappointed both times with the food and this time with bad service without the waitress. We don't plan on going back and definitely wouldn't recommend.

We finally tried Monarca on a recent Friday evening after hearing so many people rave about it…read more Honestly, we walked in skeptical -- "It can't be as good as they say." Oh, but it was. We were greeted promptly and seated right away. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and even let me practice my Spanish, which made the experience even better. It has a warm family vibe. We started with the Fried Yucca (pronounced YOO‑kah), lightly fried and served with a slightly sweet dipping sauce. Absolutely outstanding -- 10/10. The Chorizo Dip was another hit: cheesy, hot, and just a touch spicy. 9/10. For entrées, we ordered the Monarca's Cazuelita, a crock-style dish loaded with steak, chicken, shrimp, chorizo, pineapple, cheese, and bell pepper. Everything was well‑seasoned with fantastic flavor. 10/10. The Chicken Burrito was also excellent -- another 10/10. I'm very critical when reviewing restaurants, especially Mexican food, but this is genuinely the best I've had on this side of the border. The flavors were bold, the portions generous, and the service top‑notch. It was so good we ended up getting takeout the very next day. Monarca absolutely lives up to the hype.

The cheese dip, however, was really good. The atmosphere was decent, and the place was busy, which is usually a good sign. We did run into a bit of a language barrier when trying to order something specific and ended up with a dish that wasn't what we wanted. That said, the staff were all very kind and the hostess was especially sweet. Would I come back? Maybe! I might give it another chance and try something different next time

The ambience is typical Mexican but with more room. The tables provide lots of room. A big change from restaurants that cram in as many seats as possible. The service was good. The food came out quickly and was cooked well. The server even played a little joke when we asked for mare napkins. My wife said it showed he a quick thinker. All things considered it was a wonderful first experience. I'll be back.

Went here for a team dinner while in MS for work…read more It's a small Mexican/Honduran restaurant with colorful decor, pretty good parking, and decent hours. The service was ok, and the staff were friendly, but it was definitely not amazing and was quite slow. I had to ask 3 different people to bring me the sour cream that I ordered as well as lemons, and the tomatillo sauce that was given (it's in refillable bottles) was empty so I had to ask for another after they walked away. Now to the food. I got the supreme enchiladas order which comes with 1 chicken, 1 beef, 1 cheese, and 1 bean enchilada with lettuce, guacamole, tomatoes, and cheese on top. The enchiladas were small, and the ingredients fresh, but the flavor was extremely bland, which was surprising for a Mexican restaurant. I mean, I could have had a more flavorful meal at Taco Bell. I ordered rice and refried beans on the side, and while the rice was decent, but nothing to write home about, the beans tasted metallic or artificial like it had been just scooped out of a can; it was not edible. TLDR: I'm giving 2 stars because the people were friendly and were trying hard, and the prices were really cheap (like $11 for my meal without the extras) but the food is just bland, even if the ingredients are fresh.
