“We had an amazing experience here! We came for breakfast and ordered the chilaquiles. We arrived soon after they opened, so they didn’t have a selection of aguas frescas ready, but they did have the strawberry flavor, which was delicious. The food was made to order and it was incredible! The chilaquiles were excellent, but I have to shout out their beans and salsas as well. This food is clearly made with love. The staff were so friendly and kind. I wish we lived closer so we could come here all the time!“

“Do yourself a favor and try this place. I was visiting a relative at Parkridge hospital and wanted some lunch; I couldn't do hospital food. Called in the order and it was ready in 10 mins. The ingredients are good and the food is very flavorful. I'm pescatarian and so there are many seafood and veggie options. Pro-tip: Order a Shrimp only Ranchito burrito. Not on the menu Delicious ?“

Come for the pupusas- stay for the world’s most amazing guacamole, some magical mango hot sauce, empanadas, and the PACOS!!!! Five star food, and service. Seriously, come eat, ASAP. Tell your friends.“

“The staff is incredibly friendly and the food is DELICIOUS.“

“I was on the hunt for some authentic Tacos and decided to give Taqueria la Monaraca a try. I was greeted by a friendly welcoming host.. I ordered 2 al pastor tacos and the seasoning was just right.. not too overpowering..Homemade tortillas were heaven..they were a light consistency ... It was like eating a cloud taco 💯 amazing..I got a red salsa($picy on the tongue🔥🔥) but I like it hot. Green salsa had a nice mild flavor. They take phone, take out and sit down orders. I really liked and enjoyed the taqueria vibe and decor. Hey if you enjoy authentic Mexican food I would totally recommend. The mom and pop places are the best and I'm glad I rolled the dice and took a chance. I will be back Taqueria la Monaraca.“

“Amigos will always be a family fav for us! So many amazing things that we love to order off their menu! They have many options to choose from.

Parking: There’s more than enough parking! Out of all the times my family & I have ever went, there’s always been a TON of open spaces for parking

Kid-friendliness: They have plenty of high chairs/booster seats for your little one. Unless they’ve recently changed/updated their menu, they also have a section just for the kiddos and I believe it’s located on the very back.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility leading up to their entrance.“

“I ❤️ their food! It’s healthy and sooo good!“

“Made accommodations for my vegetarian needs! Food was amazing!“

“Very authentic and everything is fresh and made daily and to order. The salsa's were amazing and went well with the tacos. Tortillas are hand pressed for each order. Highly recommend anyone that wants real Mexican food to give it a try.“

“Prices are very decent for the serving and the service is quick and on point. In and out in just minutes. I'll be back for sure.“

“Me gustaría trabajar en esa taqueria“

“Hands down our favorite Mexican restaurant in Chattanooga. Never disappoints! Can’t go wrong with the enchiladas verdes. Ask for Carlos and order a fiestarona with a large cheese dip.“

“Real Mexican food! We went to the Latin Festival today at Miller Park and tried their elote in a cup and the mangonada, wow all the flavors were absolutely amazing and delicious! Can’t wait to go to the restaurant and try more things! 10/10“

“We had a great experience from the beginning to the end! The host was very nice and helpful. Our waitress (Alayna?) was sweet, attentive and did a great job. She gave us some delicious recommendations and kept the drink refills coming! A manager checked on us during our meal and offered us free dessert for our first time. The prices are great compared to everywhere else around and the food was delicious. We will definitely be returning!“
