    Bone Marrow Quesadilla
    Lorelie C.

    We ended up on a Friday night in Del Mar. And decided on this place for dinner due to good Yelp reviews and liked the vibe based on the photos. I was able to get a reservation and we didn't have to wait that long. The hostess was nice and we were given a nice spot. Right away, we like the ambience which is nice and cozy. The food was good and we find the servings to be towards bigger portions. For starters we ordered the Caesar salad. It was huge and the waiter split it for us. That was good and refreshing. We also had the Bone Marrow Quesadilla. They were huge bone marrows sprinkled with rockets greens and quesadillas on the side. We also had an asada taco and quesa birria taco. Which were also good. For drinks I had the cilantro jalapeño which is nothing special. For dessert we had the Kuty's churros which was nothing special. Only thing I didn't like was the credit card processing fee which they pass on the customers. Normal tip rates are now much higher than before. So any additional charges just don't sit right with me. So we try to avoid places like this especially since there's a lot going of good food places out there that don't have extra charges.

    We drive to The Oceanside to LaJolla PCH drive and we love driving by Del Mar coast. We just recently drove and as a Yelper, Yelped this place as reviews are good. I had to investigate. Feeling Mexican foodie so I dove right in. Reserved and after about 10 minutes, we got our seat. This place isn't small, but it isn't big either so reserve during busy times. Bar area exists and seating on counter height chairs near the bar too! All pretty much covered cozy outdoor/indoor type seating. I liked the vibe. I tried the bone marrow quesadilla. The bone marrow, I think 3 pieces, was good. The quesadilla that is separate was good too. The bone marrow being sauced a little would have been better served with a plain toast or tortillas, but I get it and ain't complaining. We also had the tacos. Good as well. Finishing it with churros. Service was decent and prices was decent. The only thing I must say is that they charged us for a salad they split without even asking us if we wanted it split. That's a big shame! And on top of that, this place charges more for credit card usage passing the costs to the customers. So your bill that you thought was decent, is now a little fluffier that you would like it to be. I'm not too happy about that! I feel like places that tack on more after you've enjoyed dining, just blows it when doing this! And this place ain't no different. Is that even legal? So what could have been a pretty decent experience becomes a meh experience. Verdict - hard pass for me. I'd rather go to up front pricing rather than a hidden pricing one. Some may call this petty, and it is maybe. But I'd rather pay for the food with the price I see with no hidden things that crop up after enjoying dining C'mon!

    Salt plus lime has become our to-go place for happy hour in Del Mar. We love the coziness. The servers are very attentive. We feel at home. One of my girlfriends has recently discovered this gem and we love how petite and colorful and whimsical this restaurant/bar is so now our point of gathering on a frequent basis. The decor is very uplifting and the little pink Vespa-look alike at the door is adorable and prone to selfie taking. The menu has a nice variety and the tacos are truly delicious.

    Mango Chamoy drink that was heavier on the alcohol!

    Perfect for date night! We got Sopes De LA Casa as an appetizer, it came with 2 sopes and was delicious. Won Tostada and Taco Mi - Rey were both coming back for, along with a Mango drink that was heavier on the alcohol! The service was attentive and nice!

    I wanted to try a new place none of us have ever been to before so I went here with my family for my birthday. I had seen the pictures online and thought it looked like a nice inside outside kind of place. I made the right choice. The food was delicious! I totally can't remember the name but I got the nopales avocado toast tostada thing, so good. I could totally eat a whole plate of that for lunch, easy. I also got a quesabirria but asked to hold the cheese. I'm lactose intolerant which sucks but the taco and consommé were both very tasty. I'm bummed I didn't get the name of our server. She was great. Even brought me a churros dessert that didn't get a photo because it didn't last long enough. Haha

    Happy Hour

    We stopped by for happy Hour drinks. There is a small glimpse of the ocean, just a short distance. We had already had lunch, so just a drink before dinner later. Service was good, drinks were too! Great atmosphere and highly recommend the cilantro margarita!

    Ceviche Yucatan
    Lisa Y.

    Came for a late lunch/early dinner on a Saturday. We had a reservation, but it wasn't too crowded around 3pm. We were seated next to their indoor tree. The restaurant itself is open not enclosed, so on a hot day, it can get a little warm. We started off with their Potato Taquitos. An order comes with three with mashed potato inside. It's topped with a mound of shredded lettuce, crema, cotija cheese, pickled onion, and green salsa. These were pretty good! we also got their Salt & Lime Salad that has mixed greens, queso panela, toasted almonds, cherry tomatoes, mandarins, green apple, avocado, and a cumin vinaigrette. This salad was a pretty big portion size. I enjoyed the mix of toppings, and the dressing was tasty! A refreshing salad on a hot day. I saw photos of their ceviche, and it looked incredible! We got the Ceviche Yucatan with shrimp, fish, onions, tomato, cilantro, radish ,orange lime base, and creamy cilantro. When they bring it to your table, they'll pour on the orange lime based and drizzle on the chili oil. They'll also leave the bottle, so you can add more if you'd like. It also comes with two crispy tostadas, though with the portion size of the ceviche, I think they could have provided more. Though, overall, the ceviche was a hit! I've never had a White Mole before so seeing that on the menu caught my eye. This White Mole dish comes with a variety of mushrooms, green oil, chili powder, and micro cilantro. You can also add chicken, which we did, and it went great with the white mole! Definitely enjoyed this!

    Aguachile Negro
    Michelle L.

    I love the outdoor/indoor seating vibe they have. Only qualm is that it was super bright in the spot I was in and I was getting blinded but I love the sun so it was fine. The server was attentive without being too much which was nice. I got aguachile negro and it was super fresh and sour and delicious! If you're looking for a fresh seafood dish and you love shrimp and sour flavors this would be a great choice. I also got an asada taco which was a nice pair to tone down my overall meal. The asada taco was yummy - nothing outstanding but still generally food. Getting both items was the perfect lunch portion for me.

    Come here and you'll be delighted. Everything we ordered was delicious, from the vegan options to the seafood, meat, and chicken. The Heart of Palm Ceviche, Nopalita Tostada, Aguachile Negro, Potato Taquitos, and Roasted Veggie Salad were my favorites. The staff were fantastic. The atmosphere was a 10/10, just like the food. Parking is available in a public garage next door or on the street.

    Love the neon lights and plant-filled decor. It creates such a fun and inviting vibe. Service was great, and the menu offers so many options that everything looked tempting. We ended up sharing several dishes, all of which were delicious. The Potato Taquitos and Aguachile Negro were highlights for me. For my main dish, I ordered the Chicken Milanesa, which was a generous portion and cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be coming back again!

    Ashley S.

    Amazing, friendly service!! The food was absolutely DELICIOUS and we can't stop talking about it!! The hostess was so sweet, the waiters informative and warm, and the manager was so genuine!! Tacos, so fresh and the chips and guac were next level!! You absolutely need to come here when you're in Del Mar!

    I came here to celebrate a friend's birthday, and while the ocean view and overall ambiance were beautiful, the experience was not good. I had a reservation, but despite that--and even though there were several empty tables--we still had to wait quite a while to be seated. My friend ordered the fish tacos, which he said were just average, and we shared the potato taquitos, which were also underwhelming. As a vegetarian, I ordered the Nopalita and Tampico tostadas but was mistakenly served a fish tostada. Thankfully, I noticed before eating it. Trying to get a server's attention took forever, and when I finally did, they casually admitted it was the wrong dish without even offering an apology. What was worse, they expected me to still eat the correct tostada that had been sitting next to the fish one, which felt careless and inconsiderate. After yet another long wait, I was finally brought the right tostadas, but they were just okay. The nopalitos were cold and not particularly flavorful--I've had much better elsewhere. To top it off, the server accidentally dropped two churros on the floor and, while they did offer complimentary ice cream for my friend's birthday, it didn't make up for the poor service and food. I understand mistakes happen, but a sincere apology and an effort to make things right go a long way--something I wish the staff here understood. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I wouldn't return or recommend this place to others.

Then she went AWOL. The server actually appeared in our dining room again to take orders from other tables, but never looked or way even though we kept trying to get her attention.

    Dear Senior Management Team,…read more My family I visited Monarch Ocean Pub on mother day, expecting to have a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed by the behavior of one of your managers, Hope. My mother was on the phone with my sister through FaceTime, simply talking and enjoying herself. Hope approached my mother in a very aggressive and unprofessional manner, standing extremely close to her and angrily telling her to hang up the phone and stop recording, even though my mother was not recording anyone. I tried to explain that my mother does not speak English very well, but instead of handling the situation professionally, Hope accused me of being rude, told us to leave, and threatened to call the police. Her behavior made both my mother and me feel very upset, uncomfortable, and unwelcome. She also stood very close to us and made physical contact by touching me, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable. No customer should be treated this way. We came to your business hoping to enjoy ourselves and receive good service, but instead we experienced rude, aggressive, and unacceptable treatment from a manager. I hope senior management will address this situation seriously so that no other customers have to go through the same experience. Because of this incident, we do not feel comfortable returning to that location.

The burger comes with garlic aioli, and I asked for extra on the side for my fries. I finished the burger and almost all the fries, which says a lot. The burger was flavorful and satisfying without being overly heavy, and the fries were crispy and paired well with the extra aioli. My husband got the classic burger, which comes with their version of a 1000 island style dressing, and he liked it. He also ordered a beer that paired well with the burger. My sister-in-law had the ahi tostadas and tuna ceviche and enjoyed both. The flavors leaned fresh and bright, especially the ceviche, which balanced nicely with the heavier items. The space itself is a highlight. There's a lot of natural light coming in through large windows, and the decor is very aesthetic and thoughtfully designed. It feels bright and inviting without being too loud. It's better suited for smaller groups rather than large parties. Service was great. Our server was very kind and attentive. At one point they accidentally dropped a couple of my husband's fries and immediately brought out a full fresh basket to replace them, which was a nice recovery and honestly a win. With three sodas, one beer, all the food, and a 20% tip, the total came out to $144. Not all food and drinks are pictured (missed my husband's burger and beer, and my sister-in-law's tostadas). Overall, good food, solid portions, thoughtful service, and a well-designed space. A strong option if you're in the area.
