To be honest this spot came through so many times after a night of too many drinks and needing something to come back to life. Their tacos de burrito are so good and the tortilla is kind of fried, sirven bien doraditos los tacos, so they don't fall apart when you dip them in the consomé (broth). What I used to do was get a few tacos and a larger order of consomé and then use that broth to make ramen with and omg, so good! lol it was the gift that kept on giving. Can't wait to go back. They usually have tables as well so you're able to enjoy your meal while it's hot and go on your way.

The food is delicious and very authentic Tijuana-style street tacos done right. I've tried several items from the menu including the torta, quesadillas, tacos, dorados de birria, and carne asada, and everything has been flavorful and satisfying. The birria tacos are definitely a standout. Service is always great and fast, which makes it an easy stop when you're craving good street food. If you're in the area and want authentic Mexican tacos, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

I stumbled upon Monarca on Yelp and we decided to try it out! We arrive and are nicely greeted by one of the employees at the counter. The inside was clean and well kept which we love. My wife and I ordered 2 breakfast burritos and the green chilaquiles. She got the Deluxe burrito and I got the chorizo. We bring them home and open up the bag and these things are MASSIVE! In the best way! We begin taking bites and are both amazed. Me a little bit more. I really really enjoyed this burrito. Maybe because it has rice instead of potatoes, I'm not sure, but it was delicious. My wife also really enjoyed hers; she gave it a 7.5 out of 10. I give my burrito a 9/10. Our chilaquiles were a whole other story and flavor profile. The carne asada that came with it was life changing. Whatever seasoning they used on tha carne asada is perfect. My wife was deeply impressed. The sauce, the chips, the eggs, beans and rice were all very very good as well. All complimented each other very well. If you're ever in the van Nuys area, please stop here for breakfast, you won't regret it!

The shrimp cocktail tased incredible and the shrimp was not rubbery, and generous amounts of crackers were given, remember guys it's a cóctel not a ceviche so it wasn't spicy or overly lemony. The torta chilanga reminded me of home and my childhood and was absolutely amazing and filling despite looking smaller than I expected but it hit the spot so well. The agua frescas I believe are a premix but very delicious and not sickening sweet like other places. I loved the place and kindness of the older gentleman that cooked and took our order and the younger girl who initially helped. All smiles and sweet from both of them.

I've been going here for years. Their speciality is popular for a reason. The quesobirria tacos are…read morethe best in the valley period! They sear the tortilla perfectly. It's not soggy and it holds its shape. The birria consomé itself is something I come back for by itself. You can definitely taste the cloves. I reccomend asking for more lime. They've definitely improved a lot service wise! More than a year ago it took my and my friends more than 20-30 minutes to get our food. It was really off putting but the birria was enough to come back and I live really close. Last couple times I've gone this year and late last year they have improved to less than 15 minutes depending on the size of the order. Their baja fish and shrimp tacos taste just like the ones alongside baja california (i know since i did a roadtrip along that coast) If you like fish tacos it's a must try!! Come here please you won't be disappointed!! Your Mexican parents won't be disappointed either (mine loved it) On a side note, la plaza del valle is an open area concept. They only have outdoor seating so plan accordingly since it absorbs any weather. They have multiple murals and wall art/decor to honor mexican culture and other latino cultures in the plaza (of which I am so proud of) Parking is nice and easy in the back. Check it out!

Place is small but we were seated quickly as they weren't busy that day. Place is clean. Our orders include their asada quesadilla, asada and al pastor taco and their tuna tartare. Anyway we enjoyed that tima tartare and their quesadilla. The taco not so much. It was on the salty side a bit but flavorful. It was a good dining experience for us and would come back if given a chance. Recommended esp for all taco and mexican food lovers!
