I recently tried out El Cocinero's food at an event that they catered to. As a person who eats meat and is not restricted, I would come here for the good food. The vegan al pastor had chunks of pineapple and it is seasoned and cooked to taste just like the meat version. The texture is just a little bit different but it does resemble a lot like meat. The vegan pastor also tastes just like the meat version, just less "smoky" and the texture is softer. The rice is flavorful and fluffy. The beans are seasoned just enough to have flavor but not compete with the other dishes. The creamy chipotle sauce was perfect topping the rice and beans. I do like vegan food but the only reference I had with Mexican vegan are places that try to add fake cheese and lean heavily on beans and rice. This business shows that you can still have all the flavors and not rely on cheese and meat. They focus on the flavors and not what would make non-vegans feel comfortable. Initially, I was going to give this first time experience a 4 star review so that it encourages me to go check out the restaurant so I can add the service and the ambiance. However, I was lucky enough to bring home leftovers and as I was eating it, the food tastes better. Had to add the extra star!

I stumbled upon Monarca on Yelp and we decided to try it out! We arrive and are nicely greeted by one of the employees at the counter. The inside was clean and well kept which we love. My wife and I ordered 2 breakfast burritos and the green chilaquiles. She got the Deluxe burrito and I got the chorizo. We bring them home and open up the bag and these things are MASSIVE! In the best way! We begin taking bites and are both amazed. Me a little bit more. I really really enjoyed this burrito. Maybe because it has rice instead of potatoes, I'm not sure, but it was delicious. My wife also really enjoyed hers; she gave it a 7.5 out of 10. I give my burrito a 9/10. Our chilaquiles were a whole other story and flavor profile. The carne asada that came with it was life changing. Whatever seasoning they used on tha carne asada is perfect. My wife was deeply impressed. The sauce, the chips, the eggs, beans and rice were all very very good as well. All complimented each other very well. If you're ever in the van Nuys area, please stop here for breakfast, you won't regret it!

Lovely spot for Mexican food with fun vibes!…read more I came for Sunday brunch/lunch with some friends. I made a reservation through Yelp a couple days beforehand and there was plenty of availability. The restaurant is located right off Ventura Blvd and has an attached parking garage in the basement which can be accessed via the parking lot behind the restaurant. There were plenty of spots available Sunday afternoon when I came. It's a bit hidden, but there is an elevator from the garage to the top level where the restaurant is located as well. We had two babies in strollers with us, so I requested a table with plenty of space nearby for the strollers. They seated us outside on their covered patio, and indeed, we had plenty of space. I peeked inside and there's also a nice lounge area with a beautiful flower wall as well as a proper dining area. When we arrived, there was a live DJ spinning tunes. I assume he's there during brunch hours, as he left around 3 pm when brunch ended. I started with a frozen lime margarita ($12). It was okay; it felt like it was only half frozen as the ice wasn't blended that well. For my main, I got the famous Anejo carne asada and shrimp plate for $40. Yes it was pricy, but the portion size was also huge! I was starving and somehow managed to finish the plate, but it'd be a great dish to share for two people with small appetites. I really enjoyed it as well. I asked for the steak to be cooked rare, and they didn't overcook it. Each bite was super tender and flavorful and paired well with the rice. Everyone else also enjoyed their dish. One friend got the wet chicken burrito for $15 and it was massive! Another got the veggie fajitas with steak added and really enjoyed her dish as well. Solid food all around. I would love to come back on a weekday and try their happy hour! Sipping on $5 margaritas and $6 sangrias sounds like my idea of a great time!

We ordered from the happy hour menu, and the food was good with decent prices. The drinks, however, were a little disappointing. They were very sugary, including the Cadillac margarita, and unfortunately, they weren't very strong. The service was good and our server was attentive. The music was okay, but it seemed like the same six songs kept playing over and over, which got a little repetitive. The biggest downside for me was when the live band started playing. The music was extremely loud, to the point where it was difficult to hear the people at our own table. I enjoy live music, but the volume made it hard to have a conversation and enjoy the evening. Overall, the food, happy hour prices, and service were good. I'd probably come back, but I'd definitely check whether the live band is playing -- especially if you're looking to have dinner and actually enjoy a conversation.

This place was not like TJ at all. I love TJ! Best years of my life. I was a donkey show girl despite being a scaley manfish with a mangina. Rico and I had a grand time together and he loved me like no beast of burden ever could. I wanted to relive those magical years of my life all over again in this restaurant but was sorely disappointed when I couldn't. I ended up butt chugging a beer for attention and cried alone in the corner when i didn't get any. Bad tacos and Blood for the Blood God! read more

I called them first before ordering online to double check that they can do regular chicken burrito because on their website, I only saw wet burrito on their Laura's burrito. They said to just put it in the special request so I did. I also ordered the chicken nachos and asada nachos. I don't recommend the nachos for to go order because the chips will get soggy by the time you get home so it's better eating it there. I arrived a little early to pick up my food and it wasn't ready yet so I just waited inside. I also talked to the staff while waiting and they were really friendly. They also live nearby too so it's convenient for them. They put all 4 of my orders in 1 bag and I don't think it was the best choice. The mole sauce pilled due to how they place it in the bag and it was on the bottom of everything else. The chicken pieces on the nachos and burrito were also more burnt than usual so you got the bitter taste. My wife like her chicken mole and I thought the carne nachos were okay beside the chips being soggy.
