Just an update on my previous review. Monarca is a family favorite (both for those of us who live…read morehere and for family who visits from out of town!) First, love the decorative monarch butterfly decorations throughout (hence the name, natch!). The service is always great - Sonya, Maria and the rest of the staff will take excellent care of you. My favorite drink is the blue organic margarita - tasty AND pretty. My favorite go-to are the tacos - I've tried the grilled chicken, grilled steak, shrimp and birria - all so good! My favorite is probably the shrimp taco (served in a corn tortilla with fresh avocado, cotija cheese and a cilantro lime mayo). I also love the Maya quesadilla (available with chicken, steak or shrimp) - roasted corn, black beans and more! Hubby's favorites are any of the steak dishes (including the brochetas) and the Santa Fe salad. I will have to add more pics of other dishes going forward.

We were just in the area so I decided to check out this restaurant because it seemed like the type…read moreof food that we would want in a moment. So we entered and we were walked over to a booth outside where we made our order. I cannot recall what my order was, but I believe it was a chicken fajita and it was absolutely delicious. What about two or three wraps that came attached to it. My friend got the chicken, shrimp and I believe steak bowl. She enjoyed hers as well. The best part about the meal was probably the drinks. Those were super strong and definitely made their way through us as we enjoyed our meal along with conversation. The best part about this restaurant is probably the fact that it was empty/lunchtime at the moment so we were served and taken care of extremely well. We left a generous tip and if I'm ever in the area for Mexican food, I'll certainly be back.

We stopped by La Catrina for drinks and appetizers. Apparently, the staff stopped by for happy hour…read moretoo. When we walked in, we were greeted by... absolutely no one. Several employees were comfortably hanging out in a booth, laughing and having what looked like the employee reunion of the year, while customers were left to figure things out on their own. After realizing we had become invisible, we made our way to the bar and waited about eight minutes for the bartender. We ordered a Pinot Grigio and a Bacardi and Diet Coke--a request we assumed wouldn't require a treasure map. The bartender then informed us, in so many words, that he wasn't sure what white rum was. He wandered off in search of this mysterious mythical spirit... and was never seen again. I'm assuming he's still out there somewhere, bravely searching the seven seas for Bacardi. After another four minutes of waiting, we decided to make our own great escape. We left thirsty, amused, and wondering if we had accidentally wandered into an improv comedy show instead of a restaurant. One star for the free entertainment. Zero stars for the service.

The food was delicious! Loved it so much we wanted to see where else the truck is parked since we'd be in town for some days. I know for sure the truck is located around this address on Thursdays: 1186 Ocean Shore Blvd, Ormond Beach, FL 32176 not exactly there but you'll see it. He mentioned parking somewhere else on other days. I think he mentioned franks place which is nearby too: 1544 Ocean Shore Blvd, Ormond Beach, FL 32176 I'd recommend calling (added the number) but it seems he parks around the same street either way.

I got three and I was full by the first taco, which is probably because I ate so much guacamole and chips! If you come here, which you totally should, try the guacamole and the street tacos. I only tried the al pastor, but I am sure everything tastes divine. I will be going back a lot so I will update the review accordingly. Our waitress' name was Kata (nickname for Katalina). The service she provided was fantastic and she also spoke Spanish which I loved. I felt like I was back home speaking with my own family. The ambiance was amazing as well. They have a beautiful mural of Frida Khalo which is perfect for photos -- it's so beautiful! The spot is quiet when I went today around 1500 (3pm). I loved it that way because that's what I prefer, but if you're into live music and more people then they have this option for you as well. I believe they have live music every Friday of the month. It's live mariachi band and you get to enjoy some yummy drinks and of course the delicious food. I am literally so crazy about these tacos -- it's the best I've had in this area all together.
