La Monarca Michoacana — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

Well on this Father's day just to ride my motorcycle to the south side it was a tough choice since I left late instead of writing early on my motor cycle on either driving all the way to the northwest suburbs for Korean food or Mexican? I also wanted to go to the south side or the South side suburbs and just passing along in my Harley saw this place and decided to give it a try on North avenue. So far it was very good but not the best. I started off with a fresh carrot juice versus your usual sweet freshly squeezed fruit juice this one was very fresh and tasty. As with any Mexican restaurant they always give you complimentary chips similar to how Koreans give you kimchi. Which I was munching on I went for the fajitas de Res or beef fajitas. They were delicious however I felt they put too much sliced tomato which gave it a watery sauce. The tortillas which was corn tortillas was also fresh and delicious with the dinner that I treated for lunch to eat in order. The mole and the salads and the slice avocado was fresh next to the rice. Four out of five stars because of the fact that when they cook and cast iron the steak fajita that they've added a lot of cooked tomato which caused the tomatoes to water down since it's piping hot. Prices were actually pretty reasonable I would probably come back here again if I'm passing by to North avenue before...

As soon as I walked in the restaurant one of the servers offered me to sit anywhere and also offered to bring a drink. The restaurant by itself is BYOB, and they do have different waters like Horchata in two other ones plus they have sodas. At first, it was quiet but then the radio was turned on to play music for a better ambiance. I like the decoration, traditional. As for the food, they offer homemade like food, their menu is long and they are large portions so next time I will order something smaller or share what I order. The horchata water is sweet like most restaurants. The service was good, I did not feel rushed or pressured to buy something else. The restaurant itself is clean, and they do have two washrooms. They have paid parking in front of...

Looking to the reviews I found some negative feedback, well, from my side I can say... I was lucky that I got there before rush hour, I had a burrito, it was yummy, delicious. I don't leave positive comments if a place don't deserve, at this place I found the freshness, flavor and great service. Athmosphere was authentic Mexican, as soon as you are inside, you feel in a small mexican town restaurant, clean and great ambient. the same is the food, tasty, delicious. Also, I had to try one alpastor taco, belive me, it was the signature to...
