ordered the loaded fries, got free chips which was nice! took a little bit for food to come out, i ordered at the counter but was told i pay at the end so guess i got to go back up to the counter bc there’s no waitstaff. food was good though and plate size is fair. note: this is called monarca mexican restaurant on apple maps which i think is the actual name.

Came in for a quick lunch after peeping the photos on Google maps. Was pleasantly surprised to see a new sign out front and recent remodeling inside. In the modern interior they still serve the traditional food with a punch 💯 had the red chilaquiles with egg and it was excellent 🔥

I’m so happy to have found this location. It’s a hole in the wall but authentic In every way. The cups, the atmosphere, the plates everything felt like it was...

I have been going to Monarca Restaurant for months now. I like the friendly warm welcome we get. Not to mention the huaraches de asada are so incredible they make em right on the spot, not to mention their menudo a very nice generous amount, their chips and salsa are always fresh, oh and forgot to mention their milanesa torta is a bomb. Thank you for having a fresh meal for...
