    Guacamole and Chips & Salsa
    Vivica F.

    This was my first time trying this spot. It was a very chill Sunday afternoon and I did not make a reservation. I walked in and sat at a table. The server was nice and accommodating. I ordered an appetizer of chips with guacamole and salsa. As well as a Caesar salad that is not pictured. The guacamole and the salad tasted so fresh! Then for an entrée, I ordered the enchiladas with mole. The mole was the right amount of sweet and a little spicy. It was dark in the restaurant and the lighting and decor had a modern authentic feeling! I would definitely come back with a bigger group of people.

    Chilaquiles verde
    Victoria F.

    Came for brunch and ordered the chilaquiles verde and bottomless mimosas. The mimosas were strong and served made sure they flowed steadily. But I was disappointed in the chilaquiles. The dish was a lot soupier than expected. There was entirely too much verde sauce compared to the other elements of the dish. Restaurant is clean.

    Listen. Very. Carefully. I am not sure why this place hasn't been visited by every single food critic or why it hasn't been featured in all food magazines. This place is heaven. No words. Just absolutely the most amazing experience ever. You will be talking about this place for years. Would travel across the world to come to Vegas just to eat here. You have arrived at your taste buds destination. We don't even eat Mexican food. I am talking about just ordering fajitas when we are forced to go any place. This is beyond Mexican. This is a breed of it's own. The flavor profiles of every single thing out on your table are spectacular. Started with drinks. Spicy margarita, Pink Monkey, and two others. Kind of blacked out after this meal. Just get drinks. They were all well crafted cocktails with a great presentation. Ordered the Yellow Tuna Ceviche and the Queso Fundido. Do not leave this place without trying the queso. REREAD THAT AGAIN AND PINKY PROMISE. You will want to scrape every ounce of this deliciousness out of the cast iron dish. The pillow soft corn tortillas that you will use to shove this heavenly cheese in your mouth are obviously homemade. Just shocking how fresh and delicious both of these were. For meals... Shrimp al Mojo (2), Conchita Pilit, and a charred octopus special. The shrimp dishes come with a hard tortilla with some seasonings that were really nice on them. The pork came with more pillow soft corn tortillas and a spicy sauce. Grilled octopus was amazing. Get a side of rice and beans. The shrimp dish will cause you to question reality. Like can you lick your plate without causing a scene? Is it legal to serve something this freaking good? You will be looking for anything to sop up the sauce. Order this. You will question reality. Just no words for this one. Ordered the churros. Wowzer. Soft gems of sugar and cinnamon perfection with a chocolate mousse. The perfect amount to end this amazing journey of flavors. Comes with 5 and is just the perfect size for a pop of sweetness. These are obviously made by some magical creature. The service here is amazing. The staff is friendly and super attentive. You will not be waiting long for your food. You can tell that great attention and care is put into every single thing that comes out of this kitchen. It is an art. The vibe of the restaurant is just sensory overload as well. Adorable lighting, seating and overall atmosphere. The disco ball monkey is a great touch. There's outdoor tables available. Moody lighting and great arrangements for all different party sizes. We originally did a food tour here last year and it was just a tasting of all the things. That is what made us fans and we wanted to come back to try even more. There are times when you will ponder if flying to Vegas just for a meal is truly a sign of craziness. Dreamy. This is the La Mona Rosa effect. This is it. Do not pass go. Just get here. Anyone reading this with any connections really needs to do the world a favor and get this place visited by any and all who can share how fantastic of a place this is. Literally steps off of Freemont. This is a whole package place. They know what they're doing and they do it well. The talent and love shines through! We will be dreaming of this place. Can't stress enough of how much you need to get here and try all the things. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity. It's is some sort of wizardry happening. We are lucky to benefit from this magic.

    Loved coming here for Saturday Pink brunch ! The food, service and vibe was amazing. There was a DJ and she was so good ! It was a bit loud so my friend and I had to scream but I really loved my experience and would absolutely return. I had the drink "Kiss from a rose" and the Mollete. Most patrons were in fact in pink, and I loved it! The decor was amazing. Can't wait to go back!

    From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. The atmosphere is warm and inviting--perfect for both a casual night out and a special occasion. The decorations were perfect for Instagram! It was hard to place an order because everything sounded delicious! A girl friend an I decided to split a few dishes! Everything fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. The only thing was that the churros weren't fully cooked, but the delicious chocolate sauce made up for it. Portions were generous without being overwhelming, and everything tasted thoughtfully prepared. If I'm being 100% honest, we did not like our server. We felt judged for asked for recommendations and he didn't do a good job of explaining what the dishes and drinks were going to be like. He kept rushing us and delivered our check mid meal without even asking if we wanted dessert. We were really put off by him. At one point, we asked him for a photo and he just walked away. We assumed he didn't hear, but he went to say hi to some of his friends and then returned 5 min later saying "do you still want me to take that photo?" We really had to keep reminding each other to not let him affect our moods. Besides that, everything else was great!

    Great bar!

    This place is definitely a VIBE! A fun, trendy spot with excellent food & drink! Beautifully designed & decorated, this restaurant offers indoor & outdoor seating right around the corner from the hustle & bustle of Fremont Street. Tucked away on what seems like their own private street, La Mona Rosa stands out on its own. A welcoming outdoor courtyard & a hot pink neon monkey will greet you as you approach the restaurant. The hostesses here are always lovely & a joy to be greeted upon. Servers are super attentive, and bartenders are creative! KUDOS! We most recently had dinner here on a Friday night, with 7 pm reservations. As expected, the place was busy, so loud. (Be prepared for banging beats as you dine.) Food was excellent, I absolutely crave their Carne Asada with house made Russet Potato Chips. It's incredible! My date had Nopalitos (Mexican Cactus/Prickly Pear/Opuntia Ficus-Indica) & it was tasty, sweet and FANTASTIC! We inquired if it was possible to make items vegan, as we seem to have an influx of friends who are vegan & it's hard to find kitchens that will alter their dishes or menu to accommodate those guests. They do! I have some dietary requirements and from the well versed waiter to the kitchen, they made it work. We are very appreciative of the attentiveness this restaurant provides for each customer. We have eaten here a few times, and very much look forward to a return visit. Reservations are strongly suggested, as it's an incredibly popular spot, especially on Sundays where they have 'Pink Brunch' & a spectacular brunch menu. Check out La Mona Rosa if you're looking for a cool, fun, hip, DJ-filled, delicious dining experience!

    The bar. I love the ambience here

    This place is really cool. I liked the service and the food is great. They do put quite a bit of salt on the chips, but I think everything was good. I has a hard time finding this restaurant because Google was telling me to go into the alley. The entrance is not in the alley. You can park up the street where they do not charge for parking. It looks like they have patio dining, but I think I would wait til it's cooler outside to do that. We ordered the enchiladas and they were good. I think they have food that is as good as mi casa at silverton. I think I'll be coming here instead because it's pretty much around the corner from me. So, you guys may see me frequent your establishment.

    Baja shrimp tacos no salsa
    Taylor F.

    We walked into La Mona Rosa and were seated right away by the host, T. She was honestly the best part of the entire experience. Super welcoming and warm from the moment we walked in. I ordered the Baja Shrimp Tacos which our server said were really good. I asked for the green habanero salsa on the side. When the food came out, the salsa was missing. Not a big deal, but when I asked about it, the server kind of questioned me like I was making it up. That already felt off. When I did get the salsa, it was incredibly spicy so I asked if they had anything else or something to balance it out. He told me no and added that it "wasn't even that spicy." Excuse me sir, we have different taste buds and if I say it is spicy, I don't need your commentary. We asked if they had crema and he said yes but it would be an extra $2. At that point we said fine because the tacos were dry without something and that salsa was just way too much so I wanted to mix them. The crema actually helped and I was able to enjoy the tacos after that. What rubbed me the wrong way was when the bill came and the server asked how everything was and if we would come back. He even asked if the service was good. It was honestly frustrating. I had a problem with my dish and instead of offering a solution, he gave me attitude and then charged me when I found my own workaround. I didn't say anything in the moment but he really wasn't the vibe. I didn't get our server's name, but on the receipt it says Herbert. Before writing this review I actually tried to call and speak with a manager. I called around 12:45 today which is during their posted hours. The call went straight to voicemail and I was instructed to leave my contact info and they will get back to me, but the mailbox was full so I wasn't able to leave a message. T was amazing. Everything else felt like an uphill climb.

    We enjoyed our dinner at La Mona Rosa, the place is decorated really nicely and the food was great! We had the guacamole, birria tacos and enchilada suezas and it was all great, was really impressed with the quality and flavors. It's right by Fremont, too, so a nice place to get a bite or a drink before or after. The only downside here was the service, which was so slow and inattentive, not sure if someone called in sick but it felt like our waitress was doing everything!

    Enchiladas Suizas. Missing from photo are the corn tortillas.

    We arrived w no reservation. Many empty seats, but they said they were reserved for a couple of special parties. Most of the spots filled up w bridal parties etc, we sat at the bar. The patio we originally requested stayed open until right before we left. Started with margaritas. One skinny, one spicy margarita. Skinny margarita wasn't what I'm used to. Stuck with the spicy going forward. The bartender, Austin, was friendly and on it. We were a minute late on the happy hour, but he snuck in our chips and salsa for HH pricing. They have a daily HH that's worth checking out! They had just rolled out a new menu. My husband ordered the enchilada Suizas but deconstructed due to his diet. It was fresh and tasty and good portion. I had the Camarones Al mojo de Ajo. Shrimp was cooked well. A little saucy but the spicy tostada I enjoyed. I kept going back to the chips, guac and salsa. Good, fast, friendly service, fresh and hot food, tasty too. The highlights were Austin and the ambiance and people watching and the chips, salsa, guac and proteins. The sauces could use a little development. But we already discussed going back. Our visit was on 4/5. Looking forward to checking it out again soon!

    Queso Fundido with Chorizo
    Kenia E.

    We did a late brunch and the restaurant was calm and relaxing, music was good. Service was great, our server took care of our needs and checked on us the perfect amount of times. Food was exceptional, this is a place you don't want to miss out on. Flavors were amazing, menu was simple but had a variety of options to choose from. Highly recommend!

    Nate T.

    Super strange when it's a rainy summer Thursday night in Vegas. We had a party of 7 and the moment we walked in, we were greeted and they created a table for us within 5 mins. Our server Blade was the best. He suggested drinks and food that would be great for sharing and every item was awesome. Flautas, queso fundido w/ chorizo, fresh guacamole, esquites, tacos, birria, and a chefs signature shrimp dish. Everything was really good, portions were right for the price too. We also had churros and flan to complete the meal. The DJ was playing a great mix of music that had all the girls at my table singing and dancing in their seat.

    Jess R.

    Let's not discount going to La Mona Rosa. I can't even tell you how I found this restaurant online, but good thing. We went late. No reservation. Lucky to have gotten a table. The space is small and cozy. Fun lighting, good music. I would recommend making a reservation just in case. The menu isn't super extensive, but I'm sure you'll find something. I'm a vegetarian and was very happy with my selection. Those in my party were as well. Uber? No problem! We waited maybe 5 minutes to be picked up.

Definitely recommend going when they first open because otherwise it doesn't matter the time or day of the week, the lines are extremely long! Love how spacious the restaurant and how organized it is! Once inside the restaurant, there are several lines and you just line up according to which meat and item you want. The longest lines are definitely the asada and adobada (pork)! Once you reach the front of the line, you just tell the staff which and how many of the item you want, as well as any customizations to it. After you get your order, you just head to the cashier line and paying is so easy and convenient! Pricing is reasonable. - Tacos, tostadas, taco aztecas - $4.12 - Sopes, quesadillas, vampiras, & mulas - $7.54. - fries with meat - $22.18+ - soft drinks - $3.31 Arrived at 11am on Sunday and it was already super crowded. Stood in the asada line for at least half an hour but the wait was so worth it! Got 3 Asada Tacos and the tortilla was so soft, hot, and fresh. It was stuffed with plenty of tender beef! The beef was packed with flavor and marinated so well! The pico de gallo was so delicious, as well as the salsa and guac. The Horchata was ok and nothing special since it wasn't made from scratch like the phenomenal tacos! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and my food. Definitely would recommend and return!

Between the music, crowd, and fire performances, it really feels like a full experience and not just dinner. I will say, when we first arrived the front dining room surrounded by candles was VERY warm. I asked if they could lower the AC because while I totally understand the ambiance they're going for, once everyone starts eating and drinking it gets hot fast. They were very accommodating and did lower it a bit, which we appreciated. I also loved that they start you off with pico de gallo and chips for the table, and when we asked for more they happily brought extra. Such a small thing but it made the experience feel really welcoming and generous. For food, we ordered the truffle quesadilla, street corn, and the Chicken Parm Mexicana. The truffle quesadilla was SO good and packed with flavor from the mushrooms, truffle oil, and cheese. The street corn was delicious too, and the Chicken Parm Mexicana was such a fun twist on a classic. Crispy chicken, flavorful sauce, and perfectly melted Chihuahua cheese. For drinks, I had the Toca Margarita and loved it. Super fresh and well balanced. Service was great throughout the night and the atmosphere made it such a fun place for our group dinner before the No Doubt concert at the Sphere. Would absolutely come back on another Vegas trip!!
