Chicken Flautas.
Johanna D.

This was by far my favorite dinner while in Vega! We arrived late, around 845pm, last call at 915pm. We ordered the chicken flautas, mole enchiladas , a side of rice and beans, and a chips & salsa. We also tried the in house margarita and old fashioned. The old fashioned is made with mezcal, so be forewarned. We love mezcal, so we knew what we were getting into. The house made salsa also had a delightful smokey flavor which I was not expecting. Overall, the food was so fresh and flavorful! I am still dreaming about the enchiladas. The Flautas were crispy, and with the guacamole, veg and salsa on the side, it was perfection. The vibes were immaculate, service was superb. If we lived in Vegas, we'd be here often.

This place was excellent! The server was very nice and the ambiance was inviting and nicely decorated. It is not too big of a restaurant but well worth a visit. I had shrimp al mojo and it was delicious! The shrimp was covered in a garlic sauce and they expertly recommended I add rice with it. The rice paired perfectly with the dish. I also tried a chicken quesadilla and it too was scrumptious. The old fashioned was potent and great as well.

Right off Fremont, this place is definitely an eclectic and delicious gem. Everything we had was delicious. The esquites packed the creamy and spiciness I was looking for. The housemade chips were utter perfection in texture and taste that I wanted to just keep eating them. The salsa that accompanied it had a good spice level and texture as well. However, the star of the meal was the Poblano tacos. All the flavors and textures worked in perfect harmony. I can see why this is a signature dish. We also had the birria, which also had great flavor and a nice crunch with the cheese coated shell. The service was very nice and attentive without being all over you during your entire meal. Overall, a wonderful experience that I will definitely repeat at some point or come back and try their brunch.

Fish tacos.
Yoli M.

I've been here a few times now and it's always a hit. Today we came in for Pink Brunch to celebrate a bride to be. The place looks so cute all in pink! Service was good as usual. We had watermelon cucumber refreshers, fish tacos, and enchiladas suizas. Everything was pretty good. We also tried the aguachile and the dish was great but not spicy at all like aguachile is usually prepared. To be honest, I preferred it that way anyway. It was tasty and my mouth wasn't on fire. Lol. I'm sure I will be back again!

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.

Met some friends for lunch at La Mona Rosa. Menu is smaller than expected for a Mexican restaurant. Prices are all over the place -- $4 for chips and salsa, but $16 for chips and guacamole, and most entrees between $16-24 but then also a la carte pricing for most sides like beans, rice, tortillas. The inside is pretty swanky, and fresh flowers on the table offer a nice touch. However, they have massive speakers hanging near the kitchen and the loud techno music with accompanied bass was a bit much for a weekday at noon. I tried the birria tacos with a side of rice. The tacos were delicious but very rich. The rice was over cooked, but edible when dipped in the consomé. We also ended up trying the overpriced guac and it was very good. Overall, solid 4 stars.

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.

Queso fundido
Vienna Q.

At first when we walked in, it's actually very nice music is loud. The person is welcoming. We started with a queso fundido. It was really good, obviously super cheesy. The bottom had a lime taste to it. The peppers on top or tasty and the red sauce didn't really have a flavor in my opinion, but overall, it was really good. I like the cups for the water, but the water did taste like tapwater, which was a turn off. My nephew had the hibiscus Agua Fresca. He said it was sour but tasty might get it again, but I don't think so. He got the birria tacos. When they first came out, he took a bite and he burned his mouth cause they were oven hot, which is good but be careful. He said they were super flavorful. Very tasty. Would definitely order again. I got the chicken enchiladas no chicken after I started eating them. I realized I had a lot of cheese. They were definitely tasty though. Everything together was really good. The lettuce, radish pickled onions all really good. I would get that again but next time I will try something else. The service was really good as well. The guy was nice. He did get busy. He was the only server, but he did a good job for as many people as it was.

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.

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
Jennifer M.

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.

I tried the lime margarita, also excellent, and we couldn't leave without trying the churros for dessert. The ambience is lovely, with gorgeous decor, comfortable booths, and an excellent Hispanic music playlist. This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant.

I really like the interior decor which is like a very contemporary and upscale Mexican. They have a variety of table and booth seating and a large bar. Our server, Hunter, was very friendly and attentive. He always ended every interaction with "have fun!" I tried the "el corazon" sangria which was delicious! It had a wonderful, warm flavor with a light hint of cinnamon yet it was still cold and refreshing! A cool tip - each drink comes with a little card with a symbol on it and the drink ingredients. Save this card! At each table is a game board of sorts that offers various prizes as you match the cards on the game board sort of like bingo. We really enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa, and we tried the traditional guacamole with vegetables as well. The guacamole was wonderfully cool and creamy and flavorful. For my entree, I tried the chicken fajitas which is served on a steaming platter with various accompaniments. This was also very delicious, and the chicken was quite flavorful and juicy. A small side note - it was served with a cous cous of sort, but I think I would've preferred a simple Spanish rice. The chicken portion size also seemed a bit smaller than when we get fajitas at Chili's. I would recommend you get double meat if you want to share. We decided to try the chocolate flan and the fried ice cream sundae for dessert. I preferred the flavor of the flan and the unique textures of the flan which had the jiggly caramel flan part on top of a more cake like chocolate part below. I honestly think the fried ice cream was not too good. It did not taste freshly fried, and the coating was very dry and brittle and hard to eat. I prefer the places that serve the fried ice cream warm with a very bubbly crust that is both crunchy outside and a bit soft inside. This was not that. Overall, though, we really enjoyed the dining experience here! We will probably return and try their weekday "Fajitas and Ritas" special! I recommend Hola!

It was honestly some of the blandest Mexican food I've had, and nothing we ordered really stood out. It also felt a bit like a tourist trap. A simple frozen margarita was around $20, and the menu seemed pretty limited. I've since heard they're mostly known for their giant tortas, so maybe that's what they're best at. The service was fine, but the overall ambiance felt a little off. There was also a noticeable smell throughout the restaurant that made it seem like there might be plumbing issues. Sadly, the nostalgia wasn't enough to make up for the food, and I don't see myself coming back.
