I know there's multiple locations and I wonder if specific locations do it better. Idk. I did the double and it felt a little heavy eating it, but it was still delicious. I did sweet potatoes as my side and they were ok. A little flabby but not terrible to consume. My one downside is the AC wasn't working and man, with these heatwaves we've been experiencing, it's a must to have working AC.

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!

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!

When I tried the Hot, I thought surely they had mislabeled it and this was actually the Angry. Well, when I got to my Angry slider, I knew that they had in fact not mislabeled a thing. Hot is... prettty spicy. Deliciously spicy. Angry, while still delicious, will send you into a frenzy that can only be described as medical. I've had my nose run from spicy food plenty of times. Rarely have I had spice that made tears stream down my face. I've never had spice that made my ears plug up, too. But again: still delicious. If you choose this choice, just understand that the Ear-Nose-Throat and gastrointestinal consequences will be Biblical. My husband made the same mistake... will confirm how he feels once he emerges from the bathroom. Other notes: the slaw is somewhat sweet but good. The Mac and cheese is not worth getting. Fries are fabulous. Enjoy!

We sampled their chicken salad with a slice of corn chip, which someone recommended. Unfortunately, the experience at the festival got off to a rocky start. They ran out of meat a couple of times throughout the night. To their credit, they were able to recover by bringing more meat to the festival. After all that anticipation, the chicken itself was flavorful, but sadly on the dry side. Since this was a festival setup, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe their regular restaurant experience is a different story. Unfortunately, the food at the fest didn't wow me and, if anything, may have underrepresented what they're capable of. Based on this tasting alone, I don't feel compelled to make a special trip to their restaurant, but I'm glad I gave them a try.

I stumbled across Wing Me Up scrolling through Yelp looking for a chicken wing joint. The event was for my daughters end of school pool party and I was tasked with bringing the appetizers. Not wanting to settle for breadsticks. I wanted to find some thing a little bit more fun and festive after seeing the usual suspects of corporate change that I don't really enjoy I decided to take a chance on wake me up and sent them a message late in the evening one day before the venue. Upon waking next morning I realized I had received an email from the owner Michelle. I called in trying to reach her a little bit later that afternoon and she called me back fairly promptly after having her staff let me know she wasn't there. Can-do attitude, and the problem-solving of helping me order and take my credit card over the phone while I was driving back-and-forth for work is something you don't find very often. I appreciated the customer service experience. I called to let them know I was running late and they pushed back my order and ensured food would be hot. Wings were a hit at the party, even though I was the one running late and they even provided additional ranch some trays to hold the wings and a bunch of lollipops. Fast forward to Father's Day I wanted to try the goods because I really didn't get to try all the wings at the party and I have a rule of not leaving a 5 star review until I try to place twice. We ordered a variety of wings and got an extra 10 wings for Father's Day. The french fries were hot and crispy, the sauce and flavor were on point, love the agave. The ranch is homemade, wings are not teeny tiny and the ambience is fun and the place is clean. Bravo we finally found a Wing Joint close to home and worth the drive. read more

I have been following the updates on Tina Perez comments where she was winged out of 95$ . I passed by the location and they removed their logo sign in front of the location . However they do have a second location in LA and I hope her matter gets resolved because it reflects negatively on small businesses in our community.

They were omg so freaking delicious that I was totally shocked and pleasantly surprised. The chicken was tender and the breading omg.... The breading I have no idea what they put on it but it was sooooo crispy. It tasted almost like they had broken up tater tots and added them to the breading. Honestly these were the best chicken tenders that I have ever had. Yes they had me drooling. It was also packaged very well so that everything was delivered got and delicious!! Overall, this is definitely becoming my place to order chicken tenders and onion rings. :)
