My picks at Mexican restaurants are usually boring like Taco salad. But I expand my palate here. Love their soups.

This review is for their newest location in Waltham, MA. I've been hopeful for a new taqueria to…read moreopen where there's ample parking and I'm not driving over 20 minutes just to get to the other side of Waltham for tacos. Their tacos are the best that I have had in the area and I've gone to at least half a dozen of local Mexican restaurants looking for tacos similar to ones I've had in Mexico. I love supporting family-owned businesses so this will definitely in my lunch and/or dinner rotation. I went here TWICE in 72 hours - lengua, al pastor, and chicken tacos plus flan dessert are all amazing! Their habanero hot sauce is definitely spicy so I would recommend my spice lovers to try it, you won't be disappointed.

Monarca is easily one of the best Mexican restaurants around - arguably the best. The birria, al…read morepastor, and tacos gobernador are standouts we come back for again and again. The kitchen appears to be proudly women-run, and the energy shows in both the food and the pace of service. One tip: be specific when you order. We've learned to clearly ask for meat and cheese only in a quesadilla (otherwise it may arrive looking more like a burrito), and to request salsas on the side if that's your preference. Once you know that, the experience is smooth with fast service and consistently delicious food.

Maybe it was due to the weather or the fact that it's in an out of the way location. The inside is cute and clean. Lots of Mexican artwork. Their menu has lots of options, but we went with a lunch sized fajita quesadilla and the fiesta burrito. They gave us a lot of food for less than $40 - great value. The chips were thin and warm, which I really enjoyed. The salsa was not hot and had a nice hint of garlic. My burrito was served with a healthy serving of guacamole and sour cream, Mexican rice, and black beans. I loved that the beans were not overly salty and everything was well-spiced. The tortilla was thin, which I enjoyed, and was packed with peppers, onions, steak and cheese. My spouse's quesadilla was filling and well proportioned with cheese, peppers, chicken and onions. We were both so stuffed! The service was a little slow, but efficient , and the presentation was beautiful as you'll see in the photos. We will definitely be back to try more food. Maybe I'll see what's spicy next time!

Still rubbing my full, full belly that is full of rice, beans, vegan chorizo & accouterments, I urge you to stop in here. If you're veggie or vegan or even veggie curious, they will treat you RIGHT! After 10 years as a vegetarian in Texas, coming home couldn't have been sweeter. Plenty to love for the meat eaters too, I digress! The food is well seasoned, with great contrast of textures and flavors. Love yourself, eat here. And don't forget a horchata for the road. Sabroso, gracias!

The bartender was very friendly and professional. Say 3.5 stars... We decided to give them a well-deserved second chance and we are glad we did. We once again chose to sit in the bar area, our preference, this time they were running like a well oiled machine. The staff and food were great. I really enjoyed the Rio Bowl with carnitas, and my wife loved the Rio Bowl with grilled chicken. I loved the spicy margarita.
