Paired with the bones were inedibly soggy "fries" on top, hiding the bones underneath. I called the restaurant twice and was ignored both times as they let the phone ring until the voicemail recording picked up. (Yes, they were still open.) Fast forward two hours and I haven't stopped getting sick. I am now violently ill. I literally passed out where I was sitting after eating from god knows what and have been getting sick ever since. I truly feel as though I was drugged and food poisoned at the same time. Absolutely unreal. Stay far, far away.

The men behind the counter and doing the cooking are friendly and you can tell they take pride in their food. This time in we split the floutas which were very good. But it was the quesabirria that was the star! It was made with braised beef, melted cheese, chopped onions and cilantro with a homemade consomé to dip it in. And I'm still thinking about it. Quick, simple and delicious- don't miss it. (Although it is called a bar & grill there is no bar)

At first I almost missed it - it isn't a separate cafe, it's literally just a counter in a gas station store. So I didn't expect much from such a setting. But i was caught off guard- these must be some of the best tacos I've had in the Boston area. The chicken is tender and juicy and full of flavor, pico and onions are fresh, and they are generously stuffed. Somehow they even made the pinto beans incredible. So much better than the 1 bite tacos commonly found in the city. So glad I finally stopped by. 3 tacos - $16.50 (tax/auto tip? Included)

Their tacos are the best that I have had in the area and I've gone to at least half a dozen of local Mexican restaurants looking for tacos similar to ones I've had in Mexico. I love supporting family-owned businesses so this will definitely in my lunch and/or dinner rotation. I went here TWICE in 72 hours - lengua, al pastor, and chicken tacos plus flan dessert are all amazing! Their habanero hot sauce is definitely spicy so I would recommend my spice lovers to try it, you won't be disappointed.

Monarca is easily one of the best Mexican restaurants around - arguably the best. The birria, al…read morepastor, and tacos gobernador are standouts we come back for again and again. The kitchen appears to be proudly women-run, and the energy shows in both the food and the pace of service. One tip: be specific when you order. We've learned to clearly ask for meat and cheese only in a quesadilla (otherwise it may arrive looking more like a burrito), and to request salsas on the side if that's your preference. Once you know that, the experience is smooth with fast service and consistently delicious food.

A lot of places double up on the tortillas for this reason, but no need here. We ordered the birria, carnitas, and cabeza tacos, chicken sopes, beans, rice, sweet plantains, sweet rice pudding and horchata. Standouts were the carnitas and cabeza for me - very delicious in their simplicity, the meat is seasoned and cooked to perfection. Birria was also very good but overhyped IMO (novelty factor). The chicken sopes were way bigger than expected, could easily be a meal on its own and the masa tart was pretty good. Our table liked the green sauce to add zip to the food. It was very sunny when we went, so it was blinding and hot to be sitting inside, hope they install a shade at some point. They seem to only serve in takeout containers, so eating at a table requires getting a bit creative for a "plate" etc. There's a small lot behind the building and street parking is pretty easy. I will definitely be returning to try the lengua and more things next time!

The tacos were delish! I usually opt for flour tortillas, however they make their corn tortillas and they are the soft ones, so I wanted to try it as it comes - I was not disappointed! The tacos come in 4 to a meal, so we so split two and two. Naturally, I prefer steak but both the chicken and steak were phenomenal. Lots of flavor!! The taco especial, has onions and cilantro and a nice lime squeeze on the side that is a nice flavor burst and addition. If you want the lettuce, cheese, tomato, etc. then you want the americano version. The tacos come with two sauces, both of which were spicy but you can tell were made/fresh! But that hibiscus tea - wow!! So delish! It was sweet and flavorful and a sip of freshness!! The churros were also incredible. Not that I didn't think I'd like the dulce de leche filling but it was um-yes yum! The outside was nice and crispy obv coated in cinnamon and sugar and then the inside was soft and doughy but not raw dough, just perfection. The dipping sauce was excellent too - they could provide a little bit more of it but we made it work. Anyways, highly recommend. It's fresh and authentic- clearly homemade with good ingredients!! Can't wait to try more from the menu!

I was eager to try a variety of tacos, though I was warned the tacos are quite small. It was a fair warning. I ordered 5 tacos, and expected to leave stuffed, but I was hungry again by 4:00pm. Eeeek. These are 3-bite tacos. Although small, I enjoyed the flavors of all the tacos I tasted. My favorites were the seafood varieties. 1) Baja fish - really crispy batter, creamy, spicy slaw 2) Yucatán shrimp - great texture, and spicy bean-like plantain puree. The pork belly was sweet, but a bit dry. In addition to the picked red onions, it could have used another saucy component. The carnitas and chorizo tacos were also good, but were less interesting for my palate. My five tacos were $20, without any sides or drinks. They have lots of shareable sides and appetizers, and I could easily drop a lot of $ filling up on their tasty bites while lingering in their lovely space.
