Monarca

" I'm a huge fan of Mexican food and Monarca certainly does not disappoint! Starting with the chips and salsa, which were fresh and delicious, I knew I was in for a treat. The carnitas were perfectly seasoned and just melted in my mouth. The staff were amazing—very kind and attentive throughout our meal. I loved the lively atmosphere within the restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming back, that’s for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family decided to try Monarca based on the positive reviews we saw online. We ordered a variety of dishes—tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas. Everything was very tasty, and you could really tell they focus on using fresh ingredients. The only downside was that I expected slightly more authentic flavors; they were good but not what I typically enjoy from traditional Mexican restaurants. Overall, we had a nice evening and will be back soon, but I hope to taste something more authentic next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Monarca was recommended by a friend, and it did not disappoint! The interior was clean and decorated nicely, setting a pleasant atmosphere for dining. I ordered the shrimp fajitas, which were juicy and loaded with onions and peppers. My partner got the vegetarian tacos and was equally impressed. The service was quick, but I felt the wait staff could have been a bit more engaging. However, overall a great meal and we will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Monarca has become my favorite spot in Knoxville! I've tried a variety of dishes, and they all taste as they should—authentic and full of flavor. Last time I ordered their burrito, and I loved how generous the portion was. I’ve had experiences in the past where I felt shortchanged, but every visit here has countered that notion completely. The staff seem like family, always making sure I'm taken care of, and it adds a nice personal touch. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving genuine Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited last Friday with my family, and we had a blast! Every dish we ordered brought something different to the table. The birria tacos were phenomenal; just the right amount of spices without overwhelming the taste. My kids loved the quesadillas, and even asked for more! The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a family meal. Staff were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. We really felt at home here. I can't wait to go back for the fajitas! " (*Curated Review*)
