My first impression was Blade who later became our server. He was very helpful providing us a menu while he was setting up before opening. We spoke for a bit and he had a nice table set up for us right at opening. We enjoyed their brunch service for 6. It was dish after dish of foods that were wonderful and we finished it off with churros and chocolate mousse. Very good food presented very professionally. That and a few drinks made for a great Saturday the 25th. If I were to make any criticism it was the music was way too loud. Blade twice went to turn it down but somebody else in the staff kept turning it up to what even seemed to be Blades frustration. Made it a little difficult to have a comfortable conversation. Maybe at night when the atmosphere is not nice dining and more bar club the music should be that loud. Regardless we had a wonderful meal and a nice experience even if we had to speak loudly to each other. Blade the server was a huge part of the overall experience. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

The interior of La Mona Rosa reminds me of a Mexican-style saloon you'd see in the 1800's on a dirt road with horses and wagons outside--except it's clean and chic. The menu boasts of Mexican classics such as tacos, enchiladas, and chilaquiles, but there are some other items such as the Pinole pancake, tuna guajillo, and tamal Oaxaqueno that you don't typically see. The plating was beautiful and flavors of everything we ate were amazing. I'd call this bougie Mexican food. It was quite wonderful--service with a smile. read more

This place is a gem. I've been twice for a bachelorette brunch and normal brunch with friends and both times it's been a lovely experience. I recommend wearing pink, as a lot of people tend to do. It feels like opening week of the Barbie movie. They also give you pink heart shaped sunglasses and little fans for their pink brunch. The food was surprisingly good, I tend to not expect much from these trendy Mexican cuisine places but the aguachile is fresh and delicious, I also had enchiladas and really liked them. Definitely visit if you're with a group of girlfriend you'll have a great time. read more

We stopped here just to see the unique building during our morning walk. And end up going inside's because the building is so pretty I want to live there. The customer service is excellent the staff are very friendly. The ambiance was quiet on a Saturday morning. I didn't try the food, but they drinks are really good, price I paid $17 for one drink. I'm not sure if that is the price in that area or in general because I'm not familiar with alcohol drink prices anymore. But if I go back to Las Vegas I definitely would like to try their food or stop for drinks. read more

Came here for the first time and left really impressed. The food and drinks were both really good.. we got tequila drinks and they were mixed perfectly.

The vibe was on point too, good music and not overly packed on a Sunday during the day, which made it even better. Definitely coming back. read more

We went here through when the busiest times of the year Cinco de Mayo. It was busy, of course, but very well run all the same.

Great times were had all around. read more

Super cute inside! When we checked in, they gave us cute pink glasses, and little signs to hold. I loved how everything was pink inside. The drinks are also pink or a lot of them were and they were delicious. I ordered the chili chilies and I added steak. Service was OK. It wasn't super busy. Either food was also pretty good. I would give it a 6.5 out of 10. But overall very fun atmosphere. read more

The reservation process for this place is painful. I tried to book a party of 9 for a pink brunch bachelorette party. I was unable to make a reservation online due to the party size. So I attempted to call them multiple times and even left voicemails. After the third day I called, someone finally answered and I was able to make a reservation. Two days before my reservation, my group wanted to go at 11 instead of 1. So I made the request online to move our reservation to earlier, but never received a confirmation. I tried calling during their business hours and nobody answered. So we ended up going at our confirmed time at 1pm. Upon arrival, I was the first one there and they wouldn't seat me until half my party was there. I was able to observe the decor while waiting which was super cute. There is also a paid parking lot right across the street which was $9 for 2 hours. The food was mediocre and very tiny portions. The usual huevos rancheros was just huevo ranchero because it was just one egg on one tostada. I asked to sub the beans for rice and they wouldn't allow it, they wanted to charge me extra for the rice even if I didn't want the beans. The only thing that was remarkable was their chips which had plenty of seasoning on it and the pineapple horchata. The shrimp ceviche came out undercooked. I understand that this ceviche is not flash fried or cooked over heat, but the lime juice is supposed to cook the shrimp. The shrimp came out still grey and when bitten into it was still slimy. The sauce on it was good, but I didn't want to risk food poisoning. When our bill came out we noticed that there were 2 charges for iced tea. Only one of the women in our group ordered and iced tea, and indeed it was refilled. However, the server did not tell us that it was not free refills for iced tea at the time. We ended up talking to the manager and it got taken off, but I feel like they should've disclosed that it was not free refills at the time instead of sneaking it on the bill. read more

Made a reservation and went with some friends for brunch right when they opened. Love how open it is inside and they had a DJ playing music to set the fun vibes. The host was nice and had us seated right when we got in. Our waitress was helpful and pleasant. I started with ordering bottomless mimosas. They were refreshing and good! I ordered the huevos rancheros and it was so delicious. I wish there was more to it though cause it didn't really fill me up. The parking is also tricky cause it's either paid street parking or paid parking lots, so plan ahead to add that expense in. read more

1. Chips and guacamole and salsa = $6 for happy hour and it's 11/10. We can come back just for the chips and guacamole and salsa. 2. Mona Rita- 11/10. On the sweet side but $8 is such a steal for this!! 3. Hemingway - 11/10. Also sweet but AGAIN SO GOOD !! 4. Taco de carnitas- 10/10 very good but a little more greasy which is to be expected!!! 5. Taco de pollo - 11/10 I liked this one better. Felt clean and the tomatillo sauce was FIRE!!! Service was soooo quick too. Server was great. You have to sit at the bar for happy hour!!! read more

So glad we ventured to La Mona Rosa for brunch. It has such a cool vibe on Sundays and makes you feel like you're in the middle of Tulum. They have a live dj and someone on the drums.

If you're a chilaquiles lover like me, you need to try the ones at La Mona Rosa. They are seriously life-changing. The tortilla chips are crispy, the sauce is flavorful, and the fried eggs on top are the perfect finishing touch. I'm not sure if it's the perfect combination of ingredients or what, but these chilaquiles are just chef's kiss. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was that they were served in a bowl. I'm used to eating chilaquiles on a plate, so it felt a bit weird to me. Maybe it's just a personal preference, but something to consider for future diners. While they're a bit pricier than your average chilaquiles, they're definitely worth it. Plus, the decor in this place is stunning. It's the perfect spot to grab a delicious meal and snap some photos for your Instagram. read more

I've eaten at a lot of Mexican restaurants, but this place might be the best I've ever had in Las Vegas and I've lived here almost 50 years. From the hand made tortillas, guacamole, enchiladas and pork shoulders to the Birria tacos, it was all stunning. The drink were spot on too.

located near Fremont street there is ample parking across the street in a lot. The vibes here are really cute. It's pretty dark in here but there's colorful lights throughout. I thought that this place was pink themed from other videos I saw so I was a little surprised. Now: expect to spend a pretty penny here, the foods a little bit on the pricier side for a Mexican restaurant. The service was great here our servers were amazing, sweet and attentive. As far as the food my only complaint is the tortillas served with the queso fundido they looked pinkish almost and they tested bland a bit odd not what I'm used to. Everything else was quite delicious. The queso was melted beautifully and had great flavor. My enchiladas had the best sauce I've probably ever tested with the perfect level of spice. read more

As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by the hostess who was super sweet and very prompt. She sat us right away and introduced herself. Huge smile on her face The atmosphere was beautiful and so colorful but in such a classy way and fun way The table setting was really nicely done with a small lit candle and some cute little flowers on every table. We ordered the Mezcal hibiscus margarita and the Aroma de Pina cocktails for our first starter drink. They were both so tasty!! The aroma de pina was sweet with midori. The hibiscus margarita was a perfect blend of sweet and tart. We got chips and salsa to start and the salsa has a nice smoky flavor, the chips are seasoned well and warm We then ordered dinner and the enchiladas suizas definitely did not disappoint!! There were really good reviews on this so I had to try it! My husband got the carne a la parrillacon with papas fritas and the steak was cooked to perfection. The vinaigrette that comes with the steak was delicious. Homemade potato chips with cojita cheese slices and corn tortillas and refried beans to eat with it. My husband said it was delicious and it was so much food. We also got a side of pinto beans and they were flavored so well!! We got our second cocktails for dessert and he got the Carajillo which was like a coffee drink liquor 43 coffee and a citrus wheel. I got the strawberries and cream tini from the Valentine's Day menu and that was the best end to the meal!! It tasted just like a chocolate covered strawberry!! I wanted to lick the glass! This place is amazing! Our server Sarah was fantastic and was cracking up with us the whole time. She was the best!! By the end of the night the music did get louder and it turned into more of a nightclub vibe with a live dj and more party vibes but if you go early enough you can miss this if you want to get more of the fancy dinner feel. This weekend there are having big valentines specials and happy hour, brunches with specialty menu, all pink drinks, and drawings etc We will definitely be back but next time want to try the brunch menu bc if it was anything like the dinner, it will not disappoint!!!! We will be back!!! read more
