Monarca Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paso Robles, California

See all

The location of Monarca is in the heart of the city which is convenient and desirable. Even though our waitress was nice, we waited a fair amount of time while the entire staff was in back room chatting extremely loudly even over the loud 50/60's music early in the morning. There was only one other customer in the cafe. We had the Eggs Florentine Benedict which was good despite the slight odd taste of the toasted English muffin. The orange juice was very fresh as you would expect from California. The setting is nice although the lack of people sitting might have been a good indicator. This is a place where you believe is a cute place to go. Perhaps just an off day with lack of attention to tourists. Even though I understand that most restaurants do not prefer offering half plates, I would have spent more if they would have done so. read more

Monarca Restaurant - Green tea. Guava mimosa. Christmas style chilaquiles with shrimp. Delicious - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paso Robles, California

We came here for a late lunch on our way to Pismo. We wanted a brunch place in hopes our picky toddler would eat. The restaurant is small but very cozy. Love all the little touches with butterflies. They offer high chairs and also a coloring sheeting with crayons with a kids menu. We ordered shrimp tacos, beef tacos and a kids French toast with an egg (scrambled) and a choice of sausage or bacon. Unfortunately, our Kiddo refused to eat but we really enjoyed it! The tacos were really refreshing with slices of avocado. The hit was the water cup! We saved it and she requested it for the rest of our meals during our trip. One uni-sex bathroom in the back. Plenty of street parking. Waitress was very nice. read more

We came to try this place. I had the red chilaquiles. Was really looking forward to them. Once looking closely as shown in photo. Found a small hair. Waitress was friendly but didn't check on us once. The manager came and apologized and offered a small discount. Will probably not return. read more

Great breakfast spot. We got a couple omelets that were pretty big. It's not the cheapest place ever, but the portions make up for that. I got a mimosa that was a little heavy on the orange juice, but otherwise delicious. Service was excellent, and the atmosphere fit our Sunday morning mood very nicely. Will definitely be coming back for our future Paso Robles trips! read more

The place is very cute and clean with a monarch butterfly theme. Chilaquiles was really good. My server initially gave me the wrong breakfast burrito and was kind and apologetic. It was pretty empty so I honestly say they took way too long to remake my order and my friend was already finished eating. Sadly, the my burrito was ok. I wish it had more flavor. They did mix the cheese with the beans so that part was flavored. The egg part was bland so I drowned it in the sauce it came with. I would come back again, but not for the breakfast burritos. I did like that they had the fresh squeezed orange juice and later saw they had daily specials. read more

We enjoyed a simple breakfast at Monarca. The steak and eggs were well cooked. The french toast should have been soaked a bit more, but the flavor was good. Unfortunately our server kept forgetting my husband's coffee so he eventually just cancelled it . Decent food, convenient location along the park. read more

This was our first time driving through downtown Paso Robles and we decided to grab a late breakfast at Monarca. The owner was standing outside in the heat and welcomed his customers into his restaurant. We were seated immediately and then greeted by our server. Staff were friendly and very fast. The menu had a good mix of scrambles, omelettes, Mexican specialties, and for those wanting options there were the combo plates. It took less than 15 minutes to get our food from the kitchen! We really appreciated that since we were quite hungry. The chorizo scramble was served on a sizzling hot plate which nicely crisped the chorizo and country potatoes. The sunny side eggs were cooked perfectly and together the whole dish was delicious. My daughter enjoyed her breakfast burrito which was filled with beans, scrambled eggs, potatoes and cheese. It was filling. The final dishes for breakfast were combos with pancakes or French toast. Their hash browns were one of the best, golden and crisp. Prices overall were reasonable. If we ever come back to Paso Robles then Monarca would be at the top of the list. read more

LOVED the chilaquiles breakfast. I asked the server how the chilaquiles were and she recommended that I try the red sauce but I really wanted green. She suggested I try half and half. Honestly I should've listened to her, the red chilaquiles were the best ones. Service was great. Food was great. Definitely recommend! read more

The service was refreshing. You were made to feel welcomed upon entry. Our needs at the table were anticipated. The food was exceptional! I had the egg white veggie omelette which was cooked to perfection and the vegetables were fresh. The bacon was cooked perfectly and tasty. They are a team that works to make your experience better. We enjoyed having conversations with the staff and it was as if they were welcoming us into their home. Ask about the Magic Mugs. Very cool and a great reminder of your visit there. Thank you Monarca!! read more

Monarca. Please review your settings on Yelp Reservations. Not personally knowing your hours, we were able to make at 6pm reservation for last Tuesday, 7/14 and were left without a place for dinner on one of Paso's busiest nights of the summer when we arrived to find your restaurant closed. read more

Delicious food in town! We love going to breakfast here while in Paso Robles with a great view overlooking the park.

Absolutely delicious breakfast. I had their chorizo omelette and it was the best chorizo omelette I've ever had in my life. This should say a CNN lot because whenever I see a chorizo omelette on a menu, there's a 90% chance that's my breakfast. Monarco's omelette was on another level... read more

Breakfast was so good.... Had a veggie omelet - made perfectly. Also it is a really cute restaurant - great ambiance, nice decor, super clean. When passing thru a town for a day- you never know where to eat. This was perfect. Just wished we would be in town longer so I could go for dinner as well . read more

We came in on a Sunday and were seated after about 15 minutes. After that we were literally ignored for 20 minutes while everyone around us were able to place orders. Literally tables who came in 10 minutes after us and were seated next to us got service. I tried waving down the servers multiple times, when the man who seated saw we still had our menus, he told us our waiter would be with us shortly. After waiting another 5 minutes, we just walked out because they clearly didn't care. I get that it gets busy, but why even bother having the corner tables if you won't serve them. We went to the sandwich next door which was good. read more

One server on a busy morning, Christmas tree in April and the breakfast items we ordered were not good (veggie skillet, pancakes and combo). My skillet literally sizzled for 10 minutes after it was served and burned my mouth. Would not recommend or return. read more

The food was amazing and service spot on! We also ordered the strawberry lemonade and an Arnold Palmer. LOVED this place!

I was really looking forward to seeing this place and enjoying a visit with a good meal. The hostess was unpleasant and seemed rushed. We placed our order and after it was brought out , we weren't offered more coffee and had to request the check after waiting for over 15 minutes after finishing our meal. This turned out to be a mistake to stop in on our way to our destination in southern CA. We'll try another place nearby on our way back. read more

Monarca has great food and service. I will definitely be coming back when I visit Paso again.

The food, service, and friendliness is above reproach. Highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

As I return to Paso Robles a couple times a year, I have always looked forward to Monarca restaurant for breakfast. However, my last visit was not as I would have expected. I could not have a cup of coffee in which the creamer did not curdle. The pancakes were exceptionally dry and when I asked for butter, we had to ask a second time in order for me to get it. My over easy eggs were more medium to no runny yolk at all. The only highlight was that my bacon actually turned out crispy as I had requested. When asked about crediting me for the coffee, we were told by the server that she could not take it off because the manager was the only one with the code and they were not there. As we were leaving, I turned to my friends and said we may need to find a different breakfast spot for our next trip to Paso. read more

We came for breakfast. It wasn't too packed. We got sat down immediately. Tables were kind of small considering we like to order at least two entrées and pancakes to share. We also tried the bloody Mary, which was just kind of OK. I got a steak skillet with eggs and potatoes and my boyfriend got the Chilaquiles with red and green sauce, which was cool. They let him do half and half flavors. He really really liked it. We also got some pancakes, They were a little tough so we only half but they were kind of good. Servers were super nice. Ambiance was OK read more
