    We loved everything we tried. The cocktail menu was also very creative. A little light on the wine list. Overall, it was a great experience.

    The menu is an ode to local flavors, and every dish I tried was a testament to the chef’s dedication to freshness and authenticity. The Mexican fish tacos were a highlight—perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor. The octopus ceviche was impeccably fresh, showcasing the sea's bounty in every bite. The fresh Gulf oysters were a real treat, succulent and briny, ideal for seafood lovers.

    From the beginning the ambiance sets the tone for a nice evening. My husband and I enjoyed exploring traditional dishes and desserts that had a twist them. Love that the chef came up to our table to introduce himself. The staff was friendly and made excellent recommendations. We will be back!

    Excellent food, drinks and ambiance 10/10! We are big foodies and Monarca did not disappoint. Our Natalie was the great! Overall, great experience for my husband and I. Our first visit, but definitely many more to come!

    Hello! I wanted to share a few months ago. I ate at your restaurant and there was a huge scheduling conflict utilizing OpenTable where the waiter told us we only had 15 minutes to eat, and the music was blaring, just not the best experience. It was just not a great first impression when we went today, we came back with some clients for dinner and I have to say it was amazing. Cheto is a true asset to your business and his service and recommendations and knowledge of the menu is next level. The check also food all to perfection! I ended up updating my Google review and moving all to five stars and sharing my positive experience. Best of luck on your restaurant! Glad to see the valley pivoting to an elevated dining scene!

    The food was really good. But we had a table next to the door and it was very cold and got even colder because every time someone open the door the cold came in hard. Some of the employees kept the door open for a while and made it worst. So that was very uncomfortable.

    They did not update their hours that were closed on New Years Eve on any platform. Made a reservation on OpenTable and reservation confirmed. Showed up for dinner, lights off and place closed. Disappointed.

    Monarca is a great place to dinner and is perfect for any occasion. It seems that Open Table is not in communication or synchronized with the restaurant because we did the reservation through the apps Open table, Open table confirmed it and my family was there this amazing restaurant was close. Please check what happened
