Absolutely love Monarcas Mexican Restaurant! From the moment you walk in, the place feels special. The décor is impeccable--beautifully done with a strong regional Mexican feel that makes the experience feel authentic and welcoming, not generic at all. The atmosphere is fun and family-friendly, which is hard to find. They even offer karaoke , which adds such a great energy and makes it perfect for both a relaxed dinner and a lively night out. Now the best part: the food and service are completely on point. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service was attentive, friendly, and efficient without ever feeling rushed. Monarcas is one of those places that does everything right--great food, great vibes, and a space where families and friends can truly enjoy themselves. Highly recommend if you're looking for a Mexican restaurant with heart, quality, and personality. read more

Walking into Monarcas I want expecting much more than a run of the mill mexican resturaunt similar to Mr Tequila or Iguana Mia. Boy was I taken aback by the atmostphere and attitudes of the employees. Its dark inside, similar to what you would expect in an authentic mexican cantina. After being seated we where greated by Luis out server. After joking for a few we placed our drink orders. (Tamerind margirita 5 stars) My fiancee had to use the restroom so she asked Luis where it was and he said in all serousness "its in the mall we dont have one" as my fiancee was getting up conviced she was going to walk forever he said "only kidding its just over there." Fantastic attitude. Not often my meal is made by a waiter before the food even arives. The food, which was awesome btw, was served from kitchen to table way faster than expected. Over all 5 stars. Will deffinatly be back. Dont loose Luis he is a gem read more

We went looking for a Mexican restaurant in the Fort Myers area and I ended up choosing Monarca's due to its extensive menu. Although there were mixed reviews across the internet, I found this restaurant to my liking. The waiter was very kind, attentive, and loved his job. Although the dish I was looking forward to getting when I browsed the online menu was not available due to corona shortages, my mole was still very good. An appetizer I'd recommend was the Monarca's dip. I'd highly advise going to this restaurant as people such as our waiter rely on it to be able to stay in America (then subsequently get their citizenship) and the food is great! read more

Tried Monarcas for the first time last weekend and had a great experience with our family. The service we received from the hostess and the server was professional. The food was cooked the way we ordered it and came out in a reasonable amount of time and the atmosphere was unique. We were told the decorations were made by the owners while they were in Mexico. We had a free cocktail by using the coupon we found on yelp which was very cool too. We will be back again. read more

After some Mother's Day shopping my mother and I decided to check out Monarcas. The food was great and our server Carlos was wonderful! The only thing that I didn't enjoy was the volume of the live band. I did enjoy their music very much but even at a booth further back in the restaurant I was having a hard time hearing our conversation. All in all, it was a great experience and I will be back on Father's Day. Next time I promise to take pictures of the good food. read more

This is not a place you think of when you see mall eatery. This is a great little spot to dine. Good aesthetic, friendly staff, calming atmosphere. I can't speak to most of the menu. However, I have had fajitas at many different restaurants around the country. Some good, some great, some downright atrocious. Monarcas' fajitas, hands down, the best I have been served. If the rest of their menu is as well prepared, it is well worth the stop. read more

This is definitely my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. They make the best chorizo and the Margaritas are delicious! The staff is always so friendly. Today I witnessed two very rude customers treating the bartender badly and the bartender still kept a smile on her face and was polite and continued to be friendly the entire time. Brenda was also very friendly and accommodating! I already can't wait for my next Margarita! read more

We'll definitely be asking for him on our next visit. Highly recommend this restaurant--10/10! read more

I've been here a few times and have to say that they improved everything. The service is way better and the serving time was very fast. I recommend this place. The price goes with the portion of the food. I would said that 2 could eat from one plate. For family or couples it's a great place! Love this new Monarcas!!! The flan was incredible! read more
