" I've been to Mónica a few times now, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best places for Indian food in Oaxaca. Their curries are rich and full of flavor, and the owner is very welcoming. I do think the portions could be larger for the price, but the quality makes up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mónica was a revelation! I couldn’t get enough of the flavors in the curries—spicy but balanced. The owner really embodies Indian hospitality, always checking in on guests and making sure everything is to our liking. Honestly, it might be worth it to share dishes if you're dining in a group due to smaller portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mónica is a hidden gem! While the food is outstanding and captures the essence of Indian cuisine, I thought some of the rice portions could be improved. However, the experience overall was fantastic. I loved the authenticity of the dishes and the warm hospitality from the owner. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Mónica was one to remember. I arrived with high hopes for authentic Indian food, and it exceeded almost every one. The chef pays incredible attention to detail, making every spice shine. I highly recommend the vegetable pakoras! However, I felt the vegetarian sections of the menu could be expanded. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mónica truly serves one of the best Indian meals I've had in a long time. The flavorful curries and fresh naan were delicious! The chef takes pride in his food, which shows in every dish. The ambiance is comfortable, though I wished the space could accommodate more guests! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a vegetarian, and I appreciate the many options available at Mónica. Each dish is prepared thoughtfully with vibrant flavors. The service is welcoming, and there’s a warm atmosphere that makes for a pleasant dining experience. I would say the portion sizes could be improved, but the quality is remarkable. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, this was some of the best Indian food I've ever had outside of India. Each dish we ordered felt authentic and well-prepared. The lamb vindaloo was spicy and fragrant, just the way I like it. The owner was attentive and genuinely cares about his customers. A must-visit if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)
