Yahoo baby...one of my favorite lunch spots when I'm working in the high desert. Stopped in one day with a coworker after spotting the cute character air brushed on the side of the van out front. Yes I've had better tacos, but 99 cents you can't go wrong. The service is good, the mother and daughter are hotties IMHO. I was just there today and plan to go back soon. read more

Best Carnitas tacos I've had in a long time. Quite possibly the best of all time. But beware of the hot sauce. Two thumbs up!

Had breakfast on Sunday at Monica's the serving of food I got was for a child. It wasn't worth the eating there. Also my food was so cold! And the tortillas were terrible. read more

Always off the hook the machaca burrito is probably the best I've had in a long time the whole beans really make it anybody that says they don't like this place is smoking too much I've been coming here for 8 years always when I'm in the area read more

I should have known from the moment that I walked in that I was making a mistake! The cashier had her mask on half way, not covering her nose at all, and the cook had his on his forehead. I put two bottles of coke on the counter and ordered 2 chili verde plates. My husband was with me, hence the two orders and 2 drinks. After I paid, the cashier said she only charged me for 1 Coke. I just put the other one away, not wanting to have to get out of my debit card again. We went out to the car and waited. When I came back in she had 1 chili verde plate ready. I asked where the other one was. She said I only ordered one. The older lady in there rudely grabbed my ticket and showed me that I had only paid for one. I said no. It was supposed to be two chili's verde plates and two Cokes! Remember? I just said never mind and took my one plate. I won't be going back. You'd think if you put your name on the wall, you would ensure you and your staff followed health code and great customer service. It's really too bad considering I work down the street and could have brought a lot of business had she had decent customer service. Not even an apology! read more

This place has really gotten busy. Unfortunately they have not had a chance to keep up. The parking situation is awful.The seating is worse very poor design and overcrowded. Definitely could use a remodel to accommodate more patrons. The 2 people working were busting their ass to try to keep up but they definitely need some back up. On a positive note the shrimp cocktail was awesome!!! read more

"it's good kinda" is that a response you want from your girlfriend when you ask her how her food was? I THINK TF NOT. why you got soggy fries fo? i'll tell you why. TOO MUCH CHEESE. don't call that shit carne asada fries if you're not gonna give enough carne asada. my friggin NOVIA needs to be treated right tyvm. SHE DOESNT NEED TO FREAKIN SWIM IN THE CHEESE. read more

Best Mexican food I've found in the high desert so far. Reasonable prices and quick service. My hubby loves the pollo or carne asada tacos, and I love the tortas. They have great food, and their salsa is really tasty. The only downfall is its a tiny place with limited seating. read more

The best the desert ... local mom and pop shop gotta love it..try the shrimp taco or shrimp cocktail...

Monicas is our go to for good tacos in the High Desert. The tacos are good quality, salsa is fire and setting is casual and friendly.

The food here is not all that great... Carne asada lacks in flavor... half the time they forget onions and cilantro in the burritos. where is the salsa? Service is nothing great there... I feel like I'm bothering them when I ask for lemons or salsa. All around atmosphere sucks! read more

I've gone to Monica's off and on for over ten years. The carne asada is great, but they're stingy with servings. Mine and my daughters orders are never correct. Oh, and the salsa... it's great. It really is. Just be sure you check how much salsa is filled up in the little containers before you leave if you have a take out order. If you ask for more salsa after checking your order out in the car, you'll be asked to pay for it. A little ridiculous, but it is what it is. I'd give three stars, but orders are never right and customer service isn't always good. read more

Good authentic hole in the wall Mexican place. If you're expecting sit down table service. Don't. This is order at the counter. Cheap food. Take I t with you. It's hot. Delicious. Affordable. Feels like straight out of Mexico. Usually soccer on tv. Right on I. Limited hours. They're great at what they do read more

We been buying our food from Monica's for a while now is our favorite taco and menudo spot but we ain't to happy with our menudo the last 2 Sunday's our menudo been only served half ways not even full like before and we always buy the pata on the side so is also a new cook Who is doing this if we buy menudo we expect it to be full not just cuz we buy the pata means she's gonna serve it half ways and is always a family of 5 that we buy for so pls talk to the lady cook and fix this problem pls we don't want to stop coming to our favorite taco an menudo spot . And let her know the pata goes on the side out of the menudo thank you . read more

I thought I would try this place and pick up dinner to take home to the family. Lady working the counter was super RUDE they had no beans available no rice available. I won't go back. Go somewhere else! read more

On second visit there, my order was mixed up with someone else's. I had to drive back to get the right stuff and received a sorry for inconvenience without any compensation for time and gas to come back for the mistake they made.When I got the correct food home, it was soggy and fries were cold and hard.I'll be going back to Dos Robertos on 7th street. read more

I've never been disappointed with Monica's Tacos and this is my favorite location. We always say they should be in the IE's Best Tacos contest every year, or even have a roaming food truck. The price is decent, the portions are good, and the food is always hot and fresh. read more

Best place for some damn good Asada tacos!! I love the green salsa especially with the tacos! Definitely recommend. read more

Monica's Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Hesperia, California

This place is good but the food portions are way too small. I guess that's why it's cheap.. because you have to keep ordering stuff until you actually get fulled since the food portions are for like a 5 year child. read more

This is my favorite place to get carne asada tacos in the high desert! Their carne asada is so tender and flavorful. They have this red sauce that is very spicy and flavorful. I've gotten a carne asada burrito from there but it wasn't that good; it was just lacking in substance and small. read more

Reusing Food? We had our sons First Birthday catered by Monica's Tacos. We had used them years ago for our wedding and liked them so decided to go with them again. We only had 22 people there, but had to pay for 50. Which was fine, we were told we would get all the leftovers(which we did at our wedding). They we're not very friendly when they arrived. Once they we're done, they started packing up. I asked where the rest of the food went, that we were told we got to keep the leftovers. The guy got an attitude with me, then finally brought the food back out. He gave us a few scoops of the meats and said that was all we got. We told them no, we paid for 50 people. He said they bring extra food, and that they had another party after ours. They got their boss on the phone, who told us that they bring extra food(for 75 people) and that they had another event. So what? Your going to serve the next party old food, mix it in with their food?! They couldn't answer that! We will never use Monica's Tacos again, they have become extremely un professional, are serving leftover food? read more

I been here a few time, and the tacos is good. but the tortas is ok, service is very friendly. prices just right. read more

Ordered burrito to go took 15mins to get my order I was the only customer in there was surprised how small it was but think if is good doesn't matter and after I drove 10mins to my job and started to eat it it was cold in the middle really it was a 8$ chili relleno burrito it was hot beans and rice but the chili relleno was cold the cheese wasn't worm at all nasty Never going back unbelievable!!!! read more

Great food and excited that they opened a second location also on "I" Ave. in Hesperia on the Mesa. The previous mexican food that was at this same location was dissapointing to say the least. Monicas Tacos increased the square footage and gave the place an overhaul by remodeling. Spotless inside and very effecient at cleaning tables etc. when people left. Tostadas are to die for with an excellent shell that they deep fry themselves. Can't beat the prices. So excited to have a good mexican food place on the mesa. read more

Love it!! We stop there every Sunday. Their shrimp tacos are to die for, the tortas are delicious, my husband swears by the menudo (I don't like menudo). Definitely a must and highly recommended. read more

Really it's a 3.8 it was pretty good not bad! We strolled in on a Sunday afternoon, and ordered the torta combination plate that comes with rice and beans and also got a couple tacos! Our friend ordered a wet burrito and the carne asada fries. The carne asada fries were good all the meat was fresh and tastey! Only downs were; torta bread was really thick and tasted dry, the rice seemed a lil undercooked, beans were a lil on the salty side and the burrito had a tad bit too much tortilla. Lol all minor things nothing to really keep me from eating there again! Overall it was good and service was great! Friendly and clean the restaurant itself is cozy and has a small " sports bar" in the back end. Plus: the owner is a Cowboys fan! Lol read more

The service was not very good, the hostess and waitress was too busy doing other things to help us out very much. I was not a fan of the food at all. I didn't like the flavor. read more

Wow, Monica really ? So you now can't get what you want WHEN the customer wants it ?? No breakfast burrito's after a certain time ? Are you trying to emulate Mickey D's ? Limited selection, seriously, how do you run out of machaca ???? Your last several meals served at this location were much less than "Stellar". The carne asada had all those tough little pieces of gristle indicative of poor preparation. You've got competition now, so step up your game. read more

Every time I think of Monica's I instantly get hungry, the best home made tasting Mexican food ever! Especially their Chile rellenos!!

The service was nice but the food was tasteless and dry. I got a Asada burrito no flavor and the meat was super dry like it was microwaved or something. read more

1 star for taste 3 stars for price 3 stars for cleanliness 2.5 stars for friendly service but weird clientele doing some kind of weird side business with employee up front, I saw this twice in a 40 minute sitting. 1 star for ease of access to extra condiments Overall score: I went their today for lunch and I remember why I haven't been back since it first opened years ago - it sucked! Prices were reasonable but tacos were seriously lacking taste.For a restaurant to have the name "Tacos" in it ,it better live up to its name.Well not here,when i first came here when it opened several years ago I ordered 4 chicken tacos. Chicken was boiled then grilled, if they ever made gum out of chicken this would be the way to make it. Cilantro and onions were so skimpy I thought OK maybe they were running low,it was a joke. No salsa bar was definitely a star demotion, from a business standpoint I can see why the prices are reasonably priced due to less overhead or wasting it or people taking advantage and taking extra salsa home. Decor was cool but definitely not bringing the authenticity of Mexico there. It was more like a Harley store and a Dallas Cowboy museum. Menu pictures are always deceptive too! Well here I was on this side of town again today for lunch and decided to give it a second try. I got my chicken gumball tacos again with skimped out cilantro and onions again!! I asked for more onions and cilantro and the dude gave me a tiny little plastic solo cup about 1 tablespoon worth of cilantro and onion. He then asked "is that enough?" I was disgusted and didn't even want to push it further. I should have told him "these were the sorriest tacos I have ever had, no wonder there logo is a cartoon because they are a joke and not real tacos. I was better off getting a dell classic chicken burrito. The tortillas are supposed to lightly oiled to make tortillas nice and pliable and also enhances the corn flavor of the maiz. Instead tortillas were thrown on grille and by the time I ate my 4 taco the tortilla was so dry and hard i could play Frisbee golf - no foolin', true story. Would I come back? No Would I recommend it? No If I had to choose between dell taco and Monica's tacos? I would choose dell taco read more

Ok food but way overpriced . $25 for 2 shrimp burritos and a cheese quesadilla . Burritos were half the size of Alberto's or an equivalent place. On the plus side if you order a pint of salsa it's only $3 . read more

This place sucks food not good and the food u get ain't worth the prices u pay they are over price and sucks

Good food and great service! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Only thing I'd recommend would be for them to have have radish and cucumber to go with the tacos! read more

I was the first customer at this new location. I love the soft and hard tacos. The chicken is great quality, the food is tasty, and you can feed a family of 4 for 25$. Ill be eating here all summer. A 3$ breakfast burrito! Ill have to wake up one day for breakfast. read more

It was good, but management problems. It was 4:46 on a Saturday and they were starting close when we just sat down. No one to cover cashier and she wanted to leave at the end of her shift. Felt rushed. read more

Me and my family love this place I always get a green wet burrito can never go wrong with Monica's best food

Ordered a burrito. Was cold, tasteless and soggy. Had wilted lettuce and COLD French fries at the bottom. FRENCH FRIES IN A BURRITO??????? It was terrible. Like it might have been sitting for a while. Made a trip back to business to report........ all they said was oh sorry. read more

Food is good price is good but service is slow and no salsa bar! And they don't like giving extra salsa cups! 6 tacos and only 2 small salsa cups! Only worth 2 stars read more

Tried to phone in an order for pick up but got no answer after calling three times. Besides that im ery surprised with how good the carne asada tacos tasted, and the sope was just okay. read more
