I have to say, for the price that they sell their food at, and with the portion size and flavor, this place is definitely worth trying. I stopped by here on my way home once because I've never had their food before. I saw they had loaded fries and knew I had to try it. Today when I went, the place looked very clean, and the people who were sat down and eating looked very content with their food. The man who took my order was very nice. He was quick to go help back in the kitchen and help prepare/package my order and a different order as well. I didn't have to wait a very long time since the restaurant was fairly quiet. When I got home, I noticed there was a complimentary small bag of chips and pico de gallo. They were super tasty, and the pico de gallo had a little kick to it and very flavorful! The loaded fries themselves were also full of flavor, with the jalapeños on top adding a good amount of spice. I wish they would add more cheese, and I usually don't like loaded fries that have regular shredded cheese instead of the melted nacho cheese, but these were really tasty even without that! I just couldn't be mad with what I received, especially because the asada meat I got on top was also flavorful, which can be rare to find at other places that have loaded fries. Everything was really great, and I can't wait to come back here again!

Really good and clean Mexican foot. Al pastor burrito was excellent as was asada burrito. Star of the show may be the Melanese Torta

More variety but more expensive than the Mexicana restaurant it replaced.

OMG! This place was so good! Sergio was at the counter and was awesome! He helped us decide what to order and his recommendations were top notch. We ordered Huarche, Burrito Supreme, and nachos. They start with complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa is so fresh and full of flavor . Sergio brought us some complimentary ceviche to try and it was delicious too. The Huarache with asada meat did not disappoint. The torta was cooked just right - slightly deep fried and had all the toppings on it. My son devoured his huge burrito and raved about how good it is. So much food for under $50. We brought half of it home for us to enjoy tomorrow. I highly recommend this place. There is plenty of parking, the food is reasonably priced and so fresh and made with care. The dining area and restrooms are very clean.

Fresh, light and good Flavors!!!! My spouse and I were looking for a new Mexican restaurant to go to; and let me tell you that this place did not disappoint. First off the person who took our order was friendly and attentive. We got chips and salsa while we waited for our food. Salsa was light and tasty. We ordered the huarache Supreme and the Burrito Mojado Supreme (hopefully I'm not mis labeling these). At first bite you can tell how light the food was, it's hard to really explain what I personally mean by that, but definitely NOT ur typical hard to chew meat & oily. Meat flavorful and tender! We got green and red sauce.. both also flavorful; I do wish It could've been slightly more spicy though. I did appreciate how on multiple occasions they come and ask if we needed anything else.. you can just feel the welcoming vibes!!! I can't add enough how lightly everything was including and Horchata and Jamaica we ordered and definitely did not take away from the flavor. Most definitely Recommended!!!!!!

This RESTAURANT is AWESOME! The food is AMAZINGLY GOOD! I DON'T THINK I've ever done a review without a request. Recently moved to area. Tried a few other Mexican restaurants. Horrible! I was scared to try another place, but gave Monarco a shot. Nice dining area. Crew was easygoing and they talk to you. Good customer service. ANYWAY...Once I bit into that burrito, I was like WHOA! That is SOOOOOOO GOOD! Been back about 7 times since, including today for a Hurrachie! .....Need I say more?

Came to this restaurant for the first time and it was delicious! We had the Hurache Supreme and chila quiles, which was delicious. The Hurache Supreme was my favorite The ceviche was also really good along with their salsa. The owners and service are awesome! I'd come back and recommend to friends and family. Also, the restaurant is clean and family friendly.
