    Brisket tacos. Mmmmmm
    Mark G.

    Service was spectacular, Food was fresh and delicious. Margarita's were really delicious as well. Highly recommend.

    Big ass beer
    Ruthie L.

    It was a very nice place with a great atmosphere. Really well kept and super clean. The service was great and so was the food. Glad we went at lunch because the prices were pretty steep but there was a lunch special menu that was more affordable. We knew it would be a bit pricey but when we saw the menu we were a bit shocked by the prices. Like I said though, the lunch special menu was perfect for us. The food was very fresh, delicious and well presented. Got a large beer and it was huge! It was a beautiful restaurant but expensive. Great for a date!

    Mexican Chorizo Queso
    Don R.

    Our food was quite tasty. We started with the queso chorizo which we really enjoyed. We ordered the fajita trio as our entree to share which was plentiful for 2 people. All the food we had was well made and pretty close to authentic. The salsa provided for the chips was on the watery side and a far cry from authentic. The Ambiance was very nice. Their decor was very appropriate to the Mexican culture. A very big restaurant with plenty of space for all size parties. Service from our waiter was great. Very attentive and our order was 100% what we asked for. Only situation we ran into was Yelp offered a check in coupon to use while on our visit. Said we could claim a free drink while eating from a choice of house margarita, glass of wine or a domestic beer. The waiter asked the manager how to process the coupon and the manager came to say it was no longer a valid coupon. There was no expiration in the terms of this coupon maybe worth $7 of a drink. Manager came to our table with some huge excuse how a previous manager created the promo and they have not taken it off of yelp. I am a firm believer if its advertised you honor the promotion and take care of your customer. This is the reason my review is midrange.

    Raspberry Margarita on the rocks
    Brita R.

    I went to visit and checkout Monarca's Authentic Mexican Cuisine Bar & Grill. I walked in and was greeted by a very friendly and courteous young man who asked me if I wanted a table and instead, I went and sat at the bar. The bartender, Paola, was a delight. She was so kind and helpful. I ordered a Raspberry Margarita on the rocks and it was delicious. I really liked all of the very unique and royal decor. The music they had playing was very cool too and added to the ambiance of the restaurant. The menu offered a lot of typical Mexican dishes and it was somewhat expensive for what was offered, compared to different Mexican restaurants in town, and that's the only reason I gave it a 4 star and not a 5 star. I saw some of the food coming out of the kitchen and it was all smoking hot and looked and smelled delicious. Overall, pretty good experience.

    Chicken "enchiladas." Note the cream sauce. Huh?
    Bruce R.

    This is a very bad Mexican restaurant. Food cold, chicken dry, no spice in the taco meat. One of the worst restaurants I've ever been in. They served enchiladas with flour tortillas! Said they ran out of corn tortillas. Hardly fit for human consumption. Shockingly bad. Service was fine.

    Fried Ice Cream
    Holly A.

    This place is a true hidden gem! Not only is the place absolutely beautiful the food is AMAZING! Service was fantastic, shout out to Carlos! He took great care of us! 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!

    Greasy quesadilla
    J N.

    My wife and I have been to this Mexican restaurant several times. This is the first time in about four months. The rice had no flavor. The quesadilla was totally greasy and was unable to pick up...the soft tacos were average with no flavor. Spent 60 bucks and truly feel like I've been robbed. I Do not mind paying my hard earned money for good food, but it truly sucks when you spend your hard earned money for food that's horrible. Will not be back.

    I was very disappointed in this restaurant. Service was very slow. The pomegranate martini did not taste like a pomegranate martini at all, and I really don't see the point of adding Tajin and cherries. It was a weird flavor combination. And I ordered an appetizer that was supposed to be shrimp and crab and it came out with no crab whatsoever. When I spoke with the manager they made me another one and this time the crab was actually little bits of that imitation surimi, no real crab meat at all, and definitely not worth $29.99. The Birria tacos were okay, but not worth coming back for. A practically empty restaurant at lunchtime should have been my first clue.

    Cucumber Margarita
    Rachel R.

    Lunch was great!! Had the pork tamales service & drinks were AWESOME!! Cucumber margarit & Jalisco is a must try!!

    It's $16.99 on their menu, but they charged me almost $19.00 for it. Pissed off!
    Ed C.

    I ordered the Charly burrito. It's $16.99 (see current menu pic) but they charged me $1 dollar extra with no explanation. They added another $1.49 for chicken on the burrito with no explanation, all they did was ask me if I wanted ground beef or chicken. I chose chicken. The ground beef burrito concept in a Mexican restaurant is gross. Even more gross they don't tell their customers the meat inside your burrito is going to cost you $1.49 more. In addition I was also was charged $5.00 more for an item I didn't even order, waiter would not fix. I overpaid almost $8 more than what my bill should've been when adding the tax. Upon trying to fix the bill, waiter apologized but nobody would correct/adjust. I will never come to any of these restaurants again. Shame on them for stealing from customers, disgusting people.

    What a beautiful building with such amazing atmosphere. It feels as if you are the land of Spanish monarchs. Yep the name in English translation to monarchs. I was very excited to check in because if you check in on the Yelp app it gives you a coupon for a free house margarita. My hubby and I were seated in a quaint booth where I was looking forward to refreshment on the hot summer day. I downloaded the coupon. Only good for a certain number of hours on that day. My server greeted me and so excitedly showed him the coupon from Yelp for my free house margarita. To which he replied. Oh that os non weekends. I said but this is from the Yelp app and it didn't state not valid on weekends. He said I'm sorry not on weekends. Major bummer! I had to state that my coupon was used in order to give my review. It wouldn't let me out of the app. What a catch 22. So very disappointing. They need to state that on the Yelp app. Anyway, I ordered a margarita and it wasn't priced too badly. The entrees were priced a little high but my hubby and I shared a meal and it was perfect portioned for the two of us. Chips and sAlsa were delicious as well as our meal. We ordered the Chimichanga shredded beef along with fried ice cream for dessert. The food was absolutely delicious along with my margarita. I would have given them a 5 star review but since they wouldn't honor the yelp coupon and I had to mark it used without being able to actually use it is why they didn't get 5 stars.

    Fish tacos were dry. The Mahi Mahi was overcooked. The prices were too high for the quality of food. I would never go here again.

My husband and I…read morealong with my sister and her husband came for an early dinner before heading to the movie theater. We were ordered some happy hour priced appetizers such as the Celtic knots, hummus and sausage rolls. All were tasty but I have to admit the knots were my favorite as I love hot pretzels. For dinner hubby and I shared the Hockin or flocking molly. A delicious combination of mashed potatoes and Irish sausages. All our servers were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The weather was also perfect for enjoying the patio. I can't wait to come back for St Patrick's Day!

Bar tenders kept walking past a guy and paid no attention to him. I think 4 ppl bar tenders walked past him to go to tables and ignored him. He tried to get someone's attention with no luck. He put his wallet and credit card out, but that didn't help. Finally, our bartender came back near us finally and asked if we wanted another round but completely ignored him. I said, yes we need drinks, but he would like something, take care of him first. We ordered food and the guy put our food literally on top of our cards while in the middle of playing and trying to dab the cards. Why he didn't put it next to us was beyond me. Overall, I love the place but def some off moments. However, I'm excited to see the new build out and how big it will be.

    Came here for Cinco de Mayo and a little date night out with some friends…read more This isn't the first time I've been here, but everytime I come its always a great time. There was live music that night and they had everyone up dancing. The place has a bunch of food trucks around the perimeter of a courtyard style area. Nice big bar in the middle with quite a few VIP seating lounges available to rent (the pics show them with the big pink and blue couches) and a few areas with games to play like electric darts, bowling and other yard games like big Jenga, connect four, corn hole. Lots of outdoor seating, some with fire pits, and the place is kid friendly! It was great to see the littles out dancing too. We tried the lobster tacos from the lobster truck. They were great!! Stuffed with lobster. A few of the other food trucks included Greek food, pizza truck, sandwiches and a taco truck (my favorite was when they used to have a mac n chz truck there ) We tried a couple different cocktails from the bar and they were delish too. Our bartender was super sweet and had a great personality. The places hosts many events: from bike night to bingo to salsa dance lessons.. so there's no doubt we wont be back soon to enjoy the fun!

    Came here for the first time to enjoy a performance of Chasing Denver. I nice selection of food…read moretruck choices and I like that there's an app for ordering food from all of them. It was very handy and let you know when your meal was ready. Bar service works hard but can get clogged up during rush times. All in all great time and a fun atmosphere. One tip if you are coming to watch a show bring a chair and come early. Or park on that side and tailgate if crowded.
