12 piece combo with tots - lemon pepper, Parmesan garlic, and Tikka masala
Glenn L.

Reasonable wings and this place also serves beer! We shared a 12 piece bone-in combo (we swapped tots for fries for an extra $1) and we ordered the tikka masala, the lemon pepper, and the parmesan garlic. The tikka masala sauce was a revelation - a light curry sauce that was not spicy and was perfect for dipping the tots. The lemon pepper was nice and balanced - not too much pepper. The parmesan garlic wings were solid as well. It will take 10 minutes or so for your order, but that is because everything is made to order! The

Monster Wings is nicely tucked within Todos Santos Plaza. There's a decent-sized parking lot located next door. The lot holds about 10 cars. Upon entering Monster, you'll notice the similarity to a Buffalo Wild Wings (their logos look somewhat similar). Monster had a small bar (to the right) within its 200 square foot dining area. The bar was unmanned but it contained three, 30 inch T.V.'s for our entertainment. The dining area had a single family with a few kids eating near the front. A few customers trickled inside, but, overall, it wasn't considered "too busy". I was disappointed to hear that their lumpia appetizers were "sold out". Surprisingly, it was still early in the evening (6:30 pm). I spent about $35 ( before tax/tip) on 17 wings. The flavors we ordered were Teriyaki, Tikka Masala, Sweet Curry and Thai Chili. 12 wings came with a choice of chips, while 5 of the wings came with a choice of plain fries. We waited for a good 10-12 minutes for our wings to arrive. I was impressed by the clean presentation of our food. The wings and things were nicely assembled. Although I took a few minutes of taking foodie pics, the fries, chips and wings were just "warm". The chips and fries were underseasoned. Also, the wings were neither plump or juicy. While the wings tasted decent, it lacked the freshness that I was seeking in newly fried food. It seemed that the chef prioritized on the presentation of the dishes as opposed to the food's temperature, quality of ingredients and the flavors. It was a very "basic" wing experience.

This was my first time here and and I really enjoyed everything I had. I walked and quickly greeted the friendly cashier. I ordered the boneless wings and flavors that I tried was the Nashville hot so delicious, and it came with bread and butter pickcles, which were sweet to the heat. The Tikka Masala was spot on and delicious. The Zilla and the Thai chili were also great. Every piece was moist and tender, also perfectly cooked. The location was huge and has a beer bar with plenty of tv's to watch games and some seating out front. I can't wait to return and try some of the other flavors.

Good location

Congratulations on managing to stay open during the pandemic!(They opened shortly after SIP) Let's all continue to support small businesses. Lots to love about The Monster Wings, prime location at Todo Santos, good variety of chicken wings and they even have lumpia! Paired with some beer and you have a party in your belly! Don't forget to try honey butter wings. The owner even visited our table and said hello. Great service and friendly people.

I forgot to do my review and this was saved in my drafts! We were walking around trying to figure out. We we're looking at the menu outside and a man came out and asked us if we have tried them before. He told us they had lumpia too so we thought we would try them out. I know why they call them monster wings! They are HUGE! Juicy and tasty! Lumpia was good too. I would recommend this place. The cheese wings reminds me of the cheese they use for popcorn ( the toppings)

GARLIC CHEESE CURDS
Stephanie L.

I'm giving them a 4 star but this is actually more deserving of 3.5 stars. They replaced the old Fire Wings, same interior but different menu. There's seating indoors and outside. I love that they have hand washing stations outside of the restroom so you don't have to go in the bathroom if you're just looking to wash your hands (saucy fingers gang)! We tried 3 wing flavors: Ghost buster- might just be my fav Buffalo out of all the chains. Perfect amount of heat, and not overly vinegary (talking about you bww) Lemon pepper- my least fav of the trio. The lemon pepper flavor just wasn't there at all and these wings seem battered with a thin coating. Zilla- this one has so much potential but just missed the mark a little bit. If this one had some heat, it would elevate the flavor by so much but unfortunately, you get a strong taste of sweet soy sauce only. The umami is there, it just needs boost. We also has seasoned fries and garlic cheese curds. These fries are sooooo crispy but the inside is soft, which is perfect. My SO thought it was overly crispy though. The fries seem battered too... which was unexpected. Garlic cheese curds we're amazing! I had them dipped in ranch and honey mustard, for a little oomph. The serving is huge, and I kinda wish they served various sizes since I'm the only one who eats cheese in my duo. I probably wouldn't get this again for $7 when I can only eat like 1/4 of the order by myself. Service was courteous and the restaurant was clean. I look forward to going back and trying more flavors!

The Monster Wings bone in
Rebecca S.

Drove by this place for the past couple of months and have wanted to stop in and sure glad we finally did! We tried boneless wings- Thai chili, ghostbuster, and the teriyaki 15 piece. The flavors were spot on and the textures were perfect. We also tried The Monster bone in wings and they brought the heat. They were flavorful and short burn. Loved the flavors all around. They have a great beer selection as well. TV's playing sports and friendly and helpful employees. Definitely coming back and highly recommend :)

Fly in my fry ...

Food was ready earlier then yelped predicted which was no fault to the restaurant but the wings themselves were not that great. Asked for extra crispy and they were not. Flavor is barley there on the Lemon pepper and Thai chili. Maybe it's better to eat it there but for my first experience it's making me not want to come back. Could of gotten a better meal somewhere else. Also found a small bug in my fries. Later that day- I did get a call back from monster wings corp. the lady who I spoke with was very kind and wanted to hear my concerns so they can better improve on what happened. I would like to give it another try at a later time to see if it can wow me .

The wings are crunchy and delicious. The fries have different types of flavour great for groups and game day hang out! Service was friendly and good.

Boneless Teriyaki and Honey Butter wings with Honey Mustard sauce and Seasoned fries and Rice
Wilfredo F.

Loved their wings here. Just done right, not overcooked or a sodium overload like that other wings place (that I dare not mention). I have issues with certain cooking oils and usually avoid anything fried since it ignites chronic muscle pain inflammation issues that I have but dining here I did not experience any inflammation issues so I am assuming they use a better quality frying oil than other places. My senior citizen mom also liked the wings since it was not too salty and she had no digestive issues after dining here which a feat in itself. Two thumbs up also for the lady who works here who cleaned up our table coming in since the prior occupants were not able to properly clean up after themselves. ClMade the table nice and clean prior to us sitting.

Monster Wings showed up on my Yelp search when I was looking for a new chicken place to try out. The reviews looked promising so I placed an order here for pickup several weeks ago. I ordered the 5 piece wings, tater tots and a drink. I got my wings with the honey butter flavor. When I arrived there I saw that they canceled my order for tots since they ran out. I was bummed but opted for the fries instead. Overall, the food was okay but I kind of already forgot how it tasted. I think it was just alright?

Left: teriyaki right: salt and pepper

Love this spot, food is good! And place is a vibe if you dine in. Service was 10/10, always asked if we needed anything!

Kelley C.

The food is awful. The wings had no flavor, seasoning nor sauce. The wings were wet and under cooked. Also, there was a long wait.

Food was ok. I'm not sure if we just went on a slow day but it was empty inside and the workers took their time making us our food.

I had heard of them before because a friend used them for their wedding, and since I plan events for a living, I've worked with a lot of caterers. For my own event though, price mattered a lot, but I still wanted really good food. After reaching out to a bunch of places, I went with Havana because I had tried their food before and their pricing was very reasonable. We ordered full trays of adobo chicken, lechon roasted pork, crispy tofu, paella, sofrito rice, black beans, corn, poblano mac and cheese, and plantains. I did bring in one dish from another restaurant, Jamaican oxtail, just because I know my guests are big foodies. The biggest hits from Havana were definitely the poblano mac and cheese, lechon, and the paella. Honestly, the mac and cheese was the standout. Everyone kept going back for it and I wish I had ordered an extra tray. What really stood out to me though was the delivery experience. The driver called me ahead of time, brought everything in, and set it all up. He opened the trays with gloves, added sauces, arranged everything nicely, and even put out utensils and labels. I've had plenty of catering deliveries before and this was easily one of the best. He was just genuinely kind and went above and beyond, and it made a big difference. Overall, everything went smoothly, the food was great, and I would definitely order from them again.

The ordering process is simple, the team is efficient, portions are LARGE and they make it easy to modify items, pricing quotes, etc. Delivery and pick up has always ran smooth and the team will assist in packing up all leftovers because there definitely will be plenty.

I'd have to say that by now, we have ordered every item on their menu - including the lechon, and we've gotten great feedback from family & friends. Rafael's has set the bar pretty high for quality of food and service. I recommend them to anyone that is planning to host a party and does not want the hassle of cooking, setting up, etc.

They offer a popular international menu which includes their trademark rotisserie chicken (my fave!) and several delicious Filipino entrees including pancit, menudo and a whole lechon! They also have a classic American menu (pasta, mashed potatoes, ham, chicken, roast beef, etc.). Their prices are fair and the food is so good!
