    Brisket tacos. Mmmmmm
    Mark G.

    Service was spectacular, Food was fresh and delicious. Margarita's were really delicious as well. Highly recommend.

    Mexican Chorizo Queso
    Don R.

    Our food was quite tasty. We started with the queso chorizo which we really enjoyed. We ordered the fajita trio as our entree to share which was plentiful for 2 people. All the food we had was well made and pretty close to authentic. The salsa provided for the chips was on the watery side and a far cry from authentic. The Ambiance was very nice. Their decor was very appropriate to the Mexican culture. A very big restaurant with plenty of space for all size parties. Service from our waiter was great. Very attentive and our order was 100% what we asked for. Only situation we ran into was Yelp offered a check in coupon to use while on our visit. Said we could claim a free drink while eating from a choice of house margarita, glass of wine or a domestic beer. The waiter asked the manager how to process the coupon and the manager came to say it was no longer a valid coupon. There was no expiration in the terms of this coupon maybe worth $7 of a drink. Manager came to our table with some huge excuse how a previous manager created the promo and they have not taken it off of yelp. I am a firm believer if its advertised you honor the promotion and take care of your customer. This is the reason my review is midrange.

    Raspberry Margarita on the rocks
    Brita R.

    I went to visit and checkout Monarca's Authentic Mexican Cuisine Bar & Grill. I walked in and was greeted by a very friendly and courteous young man who asked me if I wanted a table and instead, I went and sat at the bar. The bartender, Paola, was a delight. She was so kind and helpful. I ordered a Raspberry Margarita on the rocks and it was delicious. I really liked all of the very unique and royal decor. The music they had playing was very cool too and added to the ambiance of the restaurant. The menu offered a lot of typical Mexican dishes and it was somewhat expensive for what was offered, compared to different Mexican restaurants in town, and that's the only reason I gave it a 4 star and not a 5 star. I saw some of the food coming out of the kitchen and it was all smoking hot and looked and smelled delicious. Overall, pretty good experience.

    Big ass beer

    It was a very nice place with a great atmosphere. Really well kept and super clean. The service was great and so was the food. Glad we went at lunch because the prices were pretty steep but there was a lunch special menu that was more affordable. We knew it would be a bit pricey but when we saw the menu we were a bit shocked by the prices. Like I said though, the lunch special menu was perfect for us. The food was very fresh, delicious and well presented. Got a large beer and it was huge! It was a beautiful restaurant but expensive. Great for a date!

    Chicken "enchiladas." Note the cream sauce. Huh?
    Bruce R.

    This is a very bad Mexican restaurant. Food cold, chicken dry, no spice in the taco meat. One of the worst restaurants I've ever been in. They served enchiladas with flour tortillas! Said they ran out of corn tortillas. Hardly fit for human consumption. Shockingly bad. Service was fine.

    Greasy quesadilla
    J N.

    My wife and I have been to this Mexican restaurant several times. This is the first time in about four months. The rice had no flavor. The quesadilla was totally greasy and was unable to pick up...the soft tacos were average with no flavor. Spent 60 bucks and truly feel like I've been robbed. I Do not mind paying my hard earned money for good food, but it truly sucks when you spend your hard earned money for food that's horrible. Will not be back.

    This place is a true hidden gem! Not only is the place absolutely beautiful the food is AMAZING! Service was fantastic, shout out to Carlos! He took great care of us! 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!

    I was very disappointed in this restaurant. Service was very slow. The pomegranate martini did not taste like a pomegranate martini at all, and I really don't see the point of adding Tajin and cherries. It was a weird flavor combination. And I ordered an appetizer that was supposed to be shrimp and crab and it came out with no crab whatsoever. When I spoke with the manager they made me another one and this time the crab was actually little bits of that imitation surimi, no real crab meat at all, and definitely not worth $29.99. The Birria tacos were okay, but not worth coming back for. A practically empty restaurant at lunchtime should have been my first clue.

    It's $16.99 on their menu, but they charged me almost $19.00 for it. Pissed off!

    I ordered the Charly burrito. It's $16.99 (see current menu pic) but they charged me $1 dollar extra with no explanation. They added another $1.49 for chicken on the burrito with no explanation, all they did was ask me if I wanted ground beef or chicken. I chose chicken. The ground beef burrito concept in a Mexican restaurant is gross. Even more gross they don't tell their customers the meat inside your burrito is going to cost you $1.49 more. In addition I was also was charged $5.00 more for an item I didn't even order, waiter would not fix. I overpaid almost $8 more than what my bill should've been when adding the tax. Upon trying to fix the bill, waiter apologized but nobody would correct/adjust. I will never come to any of these restaurants again. Shame on them for stealing from customers, disgusting people.

    If you're in Fort Myers and want to feel slightly cooler than you actually are, head up to Skybar…read more We went there with one mission: watch the sunset. The plan was simple -- rooftop, drinks, beautiful sky, dramatic sunset moment... you know, the whole Instagram vibe. Well... the sun had other plans. It was so cloudy that the sunset basically said, "Not today." But honestly? We didn't even care after a few minutes. The drinks were excellent, the vibe was great, and the whole place had that perfect rooftop energy where everyone is just relaxing and having a good time. Even without the sunset, the view and atmosphere still made it totally worth it. The service was also great -- friendly, fast, and patient with us while we debated important life decisions like "one more drink or two?" So no, we didn't get the sunset we came for... but we did get great drinks, good service, and a really fun night. 10/10 would come back -- and maybe next time the sun will decide to show up.

We had a drink or two, then ordered the Mediterranean Plate for a starter. It was a great spread, with a lot of humus, plenty of pita triangles, tzatziki sauce and other veggies. We continued on with Beef Skewers and Bai Buns. The buns were nicely zingy and delicious! The beef was tender and cooked to order. The bar...and while rooftop, is hopping, and the vibe is lively and friendly. Apps are 1/2 price during happy hour and some house/well drinks are discounted, but we opted for our favorites. Definitely a great place to watch the water and sunset.

Coincidentally, I had just added a few new places to my Yelp collection from my "Wagyu burger" search moments earlier. Sip & Sizzle was on the list. It didn't disappoint. We got in w/o a reservation on an off-season Saturday night. Service was excellent. Drink menu was fun. Lots of yummy concoctions at fairly reasonable prices. But it's the wagyu beef that I can't stop thinking about today. We got the hot stone, where you basically finish cooking your proteins on the stone at your table. I was a little under-confident about this, but our helpful waiter Cody promised he'd be there to help. It wasn't needed. Unless you don't know how to cook or grill at all, I suppose. The Wagyu was out of this world. I had tuna as well, which was quite tasty potatoes au gratin were outstanding. And a polenta, which was good even better with the garlic butter on it. Cody recommended the right sauce for my proteins. I'm glad I asked this help on that. I was a little worried the menu was somewhat confusing overall as related to the stone, but in the end, my bill was very reasonable for the top-notch experience and delicious food.

We grabbed a tempura sushi roll from the lobster truck. (1 roll was $19! ) and got a lily Pad punch at the inside bar, where we sat. The drink was good, Tasty. So cute with the frog on a lily pad! (a lime slice). The drink was not weak. It was a good choice. All the bartenders we very attentive and came around to see how we were doing. We didnt stay long, it was loud and we were having a hard time hearing.... and there were too many flies dive bombing us. There was also a live band playing outside.

Plenty of table tables and chairs and sitting area, which I absolutely love because it's so important to have space like that. Then as I entered in, you walk either side of the wall to the right you immediately walk up to a counter where you I believe place you can place an order for the food trucks and I'll get to that in a minute. I personally didn't order food, but that is where you do it. And then on the perimeter is where the food trucks are and what's really cool is that the food trucks are parked up to the building structure so basically their windows is what you walk up to to get the food and they're kind of like covered over by the roof of the building for protection - Smart very smart! On the left-hand side, they have some games, and then when you head back, there is a huge bar - rectangular bar. Plenty of space! Lots of TVs and what I really love is clusters of lounge areas. I haven't seen that really anywhere and I really love this concept. And they're huge couches. I know I'm using the word huge a lot, but you'll see what I mean when you checkout Backyard Social!
