I ordered the classic marg which was 3$ and then all the tacos were also 3. I got 5 total. It was a lot but luckily I was able to bring one home. Basically I got the Korean short rib and all the seafood tacos lol. Shrimp, fish, tuna, etc.

(With lots of tequilas, beers, and craft cocktails) We had a group of 7 on a Saturday night. We tried to get a reservation but after many calls; no one ever answered the phone. We decided to risk it because we were going pretty early, 6:00. We did have to attend an 8;00 show at the Broward Center which is just 1/2 a mile away. The place was pretty empty and we had no problem getting a few tables put together. There is a very extensive menu with lots of apps, a few salads, enchiladas, fajitas, and at least 15 taco varieties. I ordered a reposado margarita, which was fabulous, for $15. For food I went with the Trio of Tacos for $18. There was one chicken taco, one carnitas taco, and one gringo beef taco. The tortillas were small; but they were piled high! They were also tasty. One friend had the Citrus Mango Shrimp Tacos, $19. She said they were very good. Two friends had the Baja Fish Tacos on our servers recommendation, $19. One friend said they were just ok because they weren't crunchy at all and she didn't care for the cilantro slaw filling, the other friend thought they were delicious and savory! Yet another friend had the chicken nachos. She didn't care for them at all because they had a cheese sauce as opposed to authentic shredded cheese. Our waiters were attentive; but we did have a little delay with one of the fish taco orders. Everyone had food except for one diner and we had to flag down a server and wait quite a while for her to finally get her meal. Everyone on the staff was friendly though, and they didn't mind giving us separate checks. If you are looking for casual Mexican dining, or just want to have a few appetizers and drinks; Bandoleros is a good option that won't break the bank!

The menus were on iPads and we were given a free bowl of chips. The chips tasted pretty good and homemade. We ordered the burrito and birria tacos. I really liked the tacos! I thought the flavor was great and the cheese was very good. The tacos were also huge and very tasty. I think including the three sauces on it was different than other places and they all tasted good! The service was a little slow, but nothing too crazy. I'd consider coming here again if I was in the area!

Five stars all the way. The service and the ambiance was hitting the WOW factor hard.

The little details definitely did not go unnoticed. Greeted with smiles from the server Santiago and the owner Fred. My cold chamoy lemonade was absolutely delish and the wife got a big margarita rimmed with tajin for happy hour from 11am - 5pm for $10.00. Complimentary roasted chips served with different sauces: Serrano Chili, Morita Chili and Jalapeno Pepper, Guacamole and Salsa. For dessert was a traditional Mexican candy called Tarugo or Cimoy Tajin. This eatery has been here for eight years and I cant believe its my first visit. I will return soon for a home cooked enchilada or burrito.

Unfortunately, they didn't have it available, but I ended up ordering the birria burrito instead--and I'm so glad I did. It was absolutely fantastic! The meat was flavorful, tender, and packed into a delicious burrito that definitely hit the spot. I ordered takeout, and the wait was a little longer than expected, so I'd recommend ordering ahead if you're in a hurry. That said, the staff was friendly, kept me updated on my order, and made the wait much more pleasant. Even on a Tuesday night, the restaurant was packed, which is usually a great sign--and it definitely lived up to the hype. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, and the food was well worth the wait. Overall, I'd highly recommend Casa Monaco. It's easily one of the better Mexican restaurants on the east side of Broward County, and I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu.

Vilas tries to combine 2 popular food genres in one restaurant by serving Mexican and Cuban dishes…read more For the most part, I would say, the ambiance is mostly Mexican, but as far as quality of food food goes, both are done very well. I was with a large group, while every9ne seem to want to try the Mexican menu, I ordered from the Cuban menu and ordered Ropa Vieja, and I must say, everyone was very satisfied with the food. Everyone's favorite drink seemed to be piña colada, although I was very satisfied with my michelada. Overall, it was a positive experience. The price was very reasonable, the happy hour menu is available all day, everyday, and I personally would love to go back and try other items.

My favorite is the palomilla steak, but to be perfectly honest, it's the salsa, plantains and beans & rice that keep me coming back. Their salsa is my all-time favorite and no one does plantains like they do. Youngest offspring always gets the fried ice cream (so good and they always give us extra spoons) and I love their flan. Didn't get the caffe con leche this time, but it's a winner too! Parking is a bit limited - small parking lot - but there's plenty of seating inside (love how they freshened it up during quarantine). The staff are wonderful - attentive but not intrusive. We'll keep coming back as long as we can!

Just went today. The food is amazing and the service is even better. We had the Chicken Mole and…read moreChicken Chimichanga with Green Sauce. Very fresh and authentic like in Mexico. The server, Raul, went out of his way to make sure we were happy. He even got us an order of churros after an episode with a screaming child at the next table over. They were very busy and the deliciousness is surely the reason why. Prices are reasonable as well. The tortillas are made in house and were so good...I could smell the corn when I opened them! Yum! Again, can't say enough about Raul. He was juggling a lot of tables, running food and busing tables and doing an awesome job, and still made us feel like the most important customers in the place!

How did this place get 4 stars?…read more Terrible experience. I ordered at 12:00 from their website ordering system. Took my credit card payment and confirmed the order was received. Said to pick up by 12:21. I arrive at 12:40 and there was no order. She wanted me to wait at the bar for my food. I told here I had a meeting at 1:00 and I was trying to quickly get some food before my meeting. I had no time to wait. That is why I ordered in advance. My response was "it's Menudo, it should already be made, just scoop me a bowl and let me go". She said, "no we have to make it" which makes no sense. Menudo is slow cooked or pressure cooked for hours. It is not a "made to order" item. In fact, most places have it only on certain days and when it is gone, it is gone. Which tells me their menudo is frozen and they needed to heat it up. I have no idea why this place has 4 stars. It was as empty as the first time I tried to give this place a try a couple of years ago when they charged me an insane amount of money for a salad that barely had any chicken on it. I should have trusted my gut. I was fooled by the new rating status which is clearly reviews done by friends or paid reviewers. If I could give a place a 0 I would. I just might be hungry but it was a huge waste of my previous time.

I've had the chilaquiles and they are so great. They're similar to the little hen but with only one sauce. The tacos have all been great. We've tried to chicken, pork, carne asada and the shrimp. All were really great but the carne asada and shrimp ones were my favorite. My kids loved it too. One ate the cheese quesadillas which honestly were the best quesadillas I've ever had. They use the corn tortillas for them and man what a difference that makes. The other one loves the tacos and the chips and guac. We finished off the night with the churros and they were magical. The service was also phenomenal both times we've been. It's been the same server and she's so nice and quick which was much appreciated. The decor is simple but chic. It's not as elaborate as the little hen but it's very nicely decorated and there's a level of comfort that it brings. They were also playing Luis Miguel and Spanish music which sets such a great vibe.

It's so good I've already gone two weeks in a row and I'm pretty sure it's about to become a regular thing for me. One of my favorite parts about this place is that the owners are actually the chefs in the kitchen, preparing all of the dishes themselves. They're incredibly friendly and even come out to chat with guests, which makes the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. The barbacoa tacos are hands down my favorite. The meat is unbelievably tender literally falling apart and so juicy and flavorful. I also tried the campechano tacos (a mix of chorizo and steak) and they were sooo good. Perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. And let's talk about their chipotle salsa... I'm obsessed. I was putting it on everything on the table. It has the perfect smoky kick and just elevates every bite. The guac and chips were good, though they didn't quite stand out compared to how incredible the tacos were. But honestly, those tacos alone are reason enough to keep coming back. Safe to say I've found my new Taco Tuesday spot . Can't wait for my next visit!
