I had a wonderful time with the stuffed jalapenos, dipping them in the salsa meant for the chips. I then mixed the chips into the lettuce below the jalapenos and had myself a salad. Made the food more exciting! My main course was delicious torta, soft bread, nice and big, delicious al pastor. Only caveat is a few chunks of gristle. The one comment I wish to leave: Service needs to be more regular. Stop by the table, don't just wait for the table to signal you. Collect checks at the table, don't make us bring them up - this isn't a New Jersey diner. (: But they were very polite and accommodating once summoned.

There is no seating and since parking is so limited, I would not even recommend eating in your car in what little parking lot they have. Service was friendly enough, but I thought it strange they only sold their street tacos as an order of three, but could buy individual soft tacos. I ended up going with California burrito. Out the door with tax included, it was under ten dollars. All in all, not bad. If I was in the area, I would head back again. I will give it four stars.

This particular food truck sits in a liquor store's parking lot and is proof positive that the best Mexican food does not come from high-end restaurants, but rather these humble little places. The service here was very friendly and the food was made in no time flat. I we t with their birria taco and their French fries with steak. Both were amazing. I will give a little ding here, on the French fries with the steak, the jalapeño peppers were obviously jarred. I would have preferred freshly sliced and hit on the flat grill for a moment. Another, their sauces came in packets. Again, this place is amazing, but fixing those two small items would have made here amazing squared. Again, it is a food truck, so there was no seating. However, I took my food to the Columbus River Walk and enjoyed my meal there. I would definitely recommend the Taco Amigo and I give it five stars overall. Go see for yourself.

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.

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
