" Our experience at Cantina Monarca was special! Upon entering, the ambiance made it feel upscale and inviting. We enjoyed a great margarita flight to start and then dove into an assortment of tacos. The meats were fresh and flavorful, but I found the portion size to be slightly less than I expected. The service was friendly but could have been a bit faster, given how busy it was. I definitely plan to return! " (*Curated Review*)

The margarita flight was a fun way to start; I especially loved the spicy pepino flavor! The taco selection was varied and delicious, though I found the portions somewhat small for the price. The service was generally attentive but did have a few slow points. Overall, a solid choice for upscale Mexican dining! " (*Curated Review*)
