They are open for breakfast and lunch only. 4 Stars on Food - I've eaten different salads and burgers and sandwiches. All are good and cooked or prepared fresh. Get the tots or onion rings instead of fries with the meal. Breakfast are basic sandwiches or plates. Good meals to fill your stomach and get you going in the day. 4 Stars on Staff. Fast and friendly. Place has a drive thru but can get really busy in the morning or lunch time. Place has about 20 tables or so with plenty of seating at each table. Ambiance is low key and has a "blue collar" vibe which is GREAT!

This review is for the drive thru on 2 different visits within 1 week…read more Great place to get any kind of burger. In fact, this one of the favorites for locals in the area. I've talked to several locals who like this place and they recommended trying it out. Menu items ordered: (2 visits) 1st visit Small chili cheese burger with onions, tater tots, and Pepsi. I enjoyed my burger so much I inhaled it before taking a picture. In fact, I liked so much I told myself that I would order a large chili cheese burger when I came back. 2nd visit Onion rings, chili cheese burger with slaw and onions, and a large Pepsi. Again, I inhaled my burger before I had time to even think about taking a picture. It looked that good. On scene: I took several pictures to capture my experience here. I took a picture of their sign out front, the building, the drive thru, drive thru window, dining room (view from outside), parking lot, and of course their food which included the tater tots, and onion rings. The customer service was fast and friendly using their drive thru service. In deed I would definitely come back if I'm in the area. In summary, great food is to be expected here with plenty of parking. Hopefully, someone else will have time to think about taking pictures of their burgers one day before they eat it so quickly like I did. As for now, it will have to be another day.

So, I will start by saying the food had a really nice flavor. I got the crab legs and he got…read morecrawfish, but I'm only giving two stars because the cashier flat out lied about being out of "all" shrimp when I asked for the 1/2 and 1/2. I asked if that meant even fried shrimp specifically and her reply was "yup all shrimp". Sigh, I was a little bummed but the show must gone on (UNTIL) a couple came in about 30 min after us and got shrimp tacos?!?! They were even served right next to us ‍ Not sure why they would feel the need to lie, but to each their own. Also, my potato and corn were as cold as if they came out of the fridge (husbands was not), so I guess they forgot to heat them up? It's a 50/50 if we'll be back sadly.

We finally tried Monarca on a recent Friday evening after hearing so many people rave about it…read more Honestly, we walked in skeptical -- "It can't be as good as they say." Oh, but it was. We were greeted promptly and seated right away. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and even let me practice my Spanish, which made the experience even better. It has a warm family vibe. We started with the Fried Yucca (pronounced YOO‑kah), lightly fried and served with a slightly sweet dipping sauce. Absolutely outstanding -- 10/10. The Chorizo Dip was another hit: cheesy, hot, and just a touch spicy. 9/10. For entrées, we ordered the Monarca's Cazuelita, a crock-style dish loaded with steak, chicken, shrimp, chorizo, pineapple, cheese, and bell pepper. Everything was well‑seasoned with fantastic flavor. 10/10. The Chicken Burrito was also excellent -- another 10/10. I'm very critical when reviewing restaurants, especially Mexican food, but this is genuinely the best I've had on this side of the border. The flavors were bold, the portions generous, and the service top‑notch. It was so good we ended up getting takeout the very next day. Monarca absolutely lives up to the hype.

Very average Mexican food overall. Maybe it's considered good for the area, but it didn't really…read morestand out to me. I ordered the fajitas and was disappointed cause there was barely any steak. The cheese dip, however, was really good. The atmosphere was decent, and the place was busy, which is usually a good sign. We did run into a bit of a language barrier when trying to order something specific and ended up with a dish that wasn't what we wanted. That said, the staff were all very kind and the hostess was especially sweet. Would I come back? Maybe! I might give it another chance and try something different next time
