As a seasoned Yelp reviewer, it's important to stick to your guns and give accurate ratings. Yes,…read morethis place has very high reviews, but IMO, they're a bit overinflated. Here's why. This is a very small, strip mall kinda joint. And that vibe kinda controls the ambience. It's a place to eat, pay your check and leave, not to hang out and get comfortable. The servers are nice and it has a genuine small business feel. That's a good thing. Also, it's obvious that this place does care about the food they're serving and their customers. But let's get to the food in detail. We ordered tacos - cabeza, al pastor and carne asada - with chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were ok, but the chips were kinda thick and heavily fried. The tortillas on all the tacos broke apart in every instance, splitting so the insides fell out in the tray. This makes me think they are just food-service grade and not made there at the restaurant. For the cilantro and onion, they used red onion, which is unique, but definitely not the norm for authentic tacos. The tacos were also meat-heavy and far greasier than most tacos I've eaten. This led to some serious digestive issues for myself and my accompanying guest. We both went through it. I know, TMI, but it's worth pointing out because the greasy nature of the meat was notable while eating, as was the overly-fried nature of the chips. Finally, when asking for hot sauce, they don't have a house-made pica. It's just Yucateco, which anyone can buy at a grocery store. Don't get me wrong. This isn't a bad restaurant, but it's worthy of 3 out of 5 stars, which to me is a C grade. Average. A fair score for this place.

Just an update on my previous review. Monarca is a family favorite (both for those of us who live…read morehere and for family who visits from out of town!) First, love the decorative monarch butterfly decorations throughout (hence the name, natch!). The service is always great - Sonya, Maria and the rest of the staff will take excellent care of you. My favorite drink is the blue organic margarita - tasty AND pretty. My favorite go-to are the tacos - I've tried the grilled chicken, grilled steak, shrimp and birria - all so good! My favorite is probably the shrimp taco (served in a corn tortilla with fresh avocado, cotija cheese and a cilantro lime mayo). I also love the Maya quesadilla (available with chicken, steak or shrimp) - roasted corn, black beans and more! Hubby's favorites are any of the steak dishes (including the brochetas) and the Santa Fe salad. I will have to add more pics of other dishes going forward.

So we entered and we were walked over to a booth outside where we made our order. I cannot recall what my order was, but I believe it was a chicken fajita and it was absolutely delicious. What about two or three wraps that came attached to it. My friend got the chicken, shrimp and I believe steak bowl. She enjoyed hers as well. The best part about the meal was probably the drinks. Those were super strong and definitely made their way through us as we enjoyed our meal along with conversation. The best part about this restaurant is probably the fact that it was empty/lunchtime at the moment so we were served and taken care of extremely well. We left a generous tip and if I'm ever in the area for Mexican food, I'll certainly be back.

Several employees were comfortably hanging out in a booth, laughing and having what looked like the employee reunion of the year, while customers were left to figure things out on their own. After realizing we had become invisible, we made our way to the bar and waited about eight minutes for the bartender. We ordered a Pinot Grigio and a Bacardi and Diet Coke--a request we assumed wouldn't require a treasure map. The bartender then informed us, in so many words, that he wasn't sure what white rum was. He wandered off in search of this mysterious mythical spirit... and was never seen again. I'm assuming he's still out there somewhere, bravely searching the seven seas for Bacardi. After another four minutes of waiting, we decided to make our own great escape. We left thirsty, amused, and wondering if we had accidentally wandered into an improv comedy show instead of a restaurant. One star for the free entertainment. Zero stars for the service.

We order the margarita happy hour on the rocks., I ordered the Carne Asada fries, my husband ordered Carne Asada. Everything was actually great, but the only issue I would say was because they had so few servers our server really never checked on as much.

My kearny Asada fries were very good, the steak was delicious. Had great seasoning to it. My husband really liked his Carne Asada.

I still remember my very first taco…read more It was 1971, just after I moved to East Gary, Indiana. I had made a couple of friends at school, and one day they took me to a small Mexican fast food place called Arman's. I had never had a taco before. I didn't even know what one was. They ordered for me. That first bite changed everything. It was spicy, full of flavor, and unlike anything I had ever tasted. I couldn't stop eating them. Back then, tacos were under fifty cents, so I went as often as I could afford. That taste stayed with me. Fast forward to a couple of years ago when I discovered A1A Burrito Works. I walked in, and to be honest, the decor didn't impress me. But I wasn't there for ambiance. I ordered two tacos to go and headed back to my car. That's where everything changed. I tried to eat while driving. That was a mistake. These tacos were massive, packed with meat, lettuce, and everything that comes with "The Works." I had to pull over just to properly enjoy them. And then it hit me. One bite took me straight back to 1971. After decades of eating tacos all over the place, these were the first ones that brought that feeling back. The same bold flavor. The same satisfaction. The same experience I never forgot. Since then, I don't go anywhere else for tacos. If you care about flashy interiors, this might not be your place. But if you care about real flavor, generous portions, and food that actually leaves an impression, this is it. For me, A1A Burrito Works isn't just another taco spot. It's a time machine.
