I've been disappointed too many times now that I am finally giving this restaurant a bad review. Their tamales are the worst - tiny, undercooked, we constantly get terrible tamales when we order take out. My son really wanted tamales so I ordered take out again. I was charged double - they are now $12.95 for 3. I wouldn't complain if they were a decent normal size, but I've had it. I will never go to this restaurant again. Found many other delicious Mexican restaurants in Monroe. Don't waste your time & money on this place. Manager is rude as well. He doesn't care if you complain about anything.

Spicy shrimp and pollo con crema

This restaurant was up to my standards. I loved the lighting and dining area. The waitress and staff were very attentive and looked out for us by asking how everything was going and were extremely friendly. I had ordered the Pollo con crema since it is always so good and I loved it. My partner ordered the shrimp platter which was a bit spicy. Definitely would go back again!

Steak fajitas

Monterrey in Monroe has been a favorite for my family for several years. We have gotten a variety of dishes from them, but tend to stick to our favorites. My mom, sister, and I all love the Monterrey cheesesteak burrito, which is filled with steak and grilled onions and peppers and smothered in cheese. My dad always gets the enchiladas and my brother tends to get taquitos. I did try the steak fajitas this time which also met my expectations. The portions are always huge and combined with the complimentary chips and salsa, we always all have leftovers. One of the best Mexican restaurants in Union county for sure!

Updated Again: So as I stated, I thought Christina was the absolute BEST waitress they had, but Elizabeth is sure on top of her game! Thank you for the wonderful experience! Updated Review: Christina is the absolute BEST waitress we have had! Thanks for the Great Service! : ) She was EXTREMELY attentive throughout. Since my last review, we did have a bad experience with not getting drinks until the middle of our meal (had to ask the hostess as not to embarrass him and she made it a bigger deal than it needed to be!), but our waiter was new so we can overlook this now, looking back. Previous, 5 Star Review: Really great food and always wonderful service! Owner is sooo so nice! I order my food with a few requests (I'm very picky) and they are always extremely accommodating! We have never once had poor service. If I could make one suggestion.... the margaritas could be stronger for the price... FYI for the owner: We would always order Lime Margaritas... I feel there is too much lime flavoring and not enough alcohol. This was last year though (we stopped ordering them due to this fact).

5 Stars goes to Iris! Great service and she was very attentive. As far as the changes to the Taco Salad... I didn't care for them so much : / everything thing else was good, only advice would be to "the sauce guy" in order to save money/ not waste sauces, maybe just bring only 1 hot (orange) sauce to a small table instead of a whole plate in the future..

There's so many places you can get Mexican food from, but this location has to be the ONLY place…read moreyou should get it from. Handful of times I have ordered it to go and it's always hot, fresh, and amazingly FLAVORFUL. A plus to them is that they always have it ready in 20-25 mins. So if you're starving and need something quick, La Unica will have it ready for you. We have dined in, the service is upbeat and quick. I always get the same dish and it's so hard to order a different one. BUT my boyfriend is there to order everything and it's so worth the chance of trying something new. Thank you for existing in our neighborhood and always feeding me!!

Located in a corner unit of a small strip mall, La Unica is a quaint Mexican restaurant that should…read morebe considered when those Tex Mex cravings are bubbling deep inside the soul. When my X and I first moved to Indian Trail, a lot of friends suggested this restaurant as the authority for Tex Mex. It's a good thing they have a big parking lot as they're generally packed, which means people like it. Me? My short reply is it's pretty good. Opening up the doors the atmosphere has a bit of reserved authenticity, no dollar tree prefab gimmicks are there just to plant a flag, claiming to be just like all other options out there. No this is the real deal with a warming atmosphere designed to entice locals to take a load off and relax. The server stand is directly in front and what appears to be a predominately family-owned business. The staff is quick to greet and seat everyone who enters and the place is extremely clean with a low noise level. Lets get to the food, shall we? First of all, I prefer thinner chips as theirs are really thick, but that's not a quality issue. The salsa is darn good and be careful for asking for hot salsa, you'll get what you asked for. Generally I fill up on chips and get something light however I've heard so many good things about La Unica I had to hold back so I could sample some of the former mrs food and gorge on my own. Please note I did drop by twice so I have three dishes I can speak too. First the former Mrs me got the flautas dinner. All the sides; lettuce, tomato, guac, sour cream and rice were fresh and tasty. The tomatoes were ripe and the guac wasn't discolored which means fresh. The flautas were perfectly cooked, crispy with flavorful and moist chicken while not being greasy. Top it with some lettuce and sour cream YUM! My first sample was the Shrimp burrito or I'll call it the Titanic as it was HUGE & IT WENT DOWN! Very tasty with plenty of fat shrimp and all the sides inside. I found it fun to cut into it, pop a bite into my mouth and see which ingredients hit my tastebuds; a revolving experience. Overall, it was very good and not to spicy. For the record, I don't eat beans so I'm not a good judge of what happened there. My final menu item was my best bud, my old faithful, my ride or die - steak fajitas. Again, the sides were awesome no issue there but I found the steak a bit tough. It was seasoned well and tasty but I did some chewing to finish it off. I think it may have been an off day. Other than the MMA fighting steak (implying it's tough) the dish is outstanding. Overall, La Unica is the best Mexican aka Tex Mex restaurant in Indian Trail. The staff is friendly and fast, the chips and salsa are great and for the most part you can always get a seat. Even when busy, the food doesn't seem to suffer. I wish I could have tried more items, alas life has dictated I'm a nomad so I won't be back. But don't let that stop you for hitting up the best south of the border joint in town!
