" This restaurant is a hidden gem! The ambiance is casual yet inviting, making it a great spot for family dinners. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, and while they were good, they could’ve used a bit more spice. The free queso and salsa served with the chips was a delicious bonus. Service was friendly, but it took a while for our drinks to arrive. Nevertheless, I’d come back to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited La Unica last weekend with family, and overall, it was a fun experience! The chips and salsa were fresh, and I loved that they offered multiple salsa options to choose from. I had the enchiladas, and while they were tasty, I expected a bit more seasoning. Service was fast and attentive, and the atmosphere was lively, despite it being busy. I would come back, but maybe try a different dish next time for a better flavor kick. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an excellent dining experience at La Unica! The authentic flavors transport you straight to Mexico. I tried the tortilla soup, and it was one of the best I've had. While the service was friendly, they were a bit slow to take our order initially, which caused a minor hiccup. The environment is casual, which I appreciate. Looking forward to returning soon!

" The food at La Unica is amazing! I had the shrimp tacos, and they were flavorful and fresh. The chips with salsa and queso were a great start to my meal. The atmosphere was lively, perfect for a night out with friends. If I had to point out a downside, it would be that the service was slightly slow during peak hours, but really it was worth the wait!

" Taqueria La Unica is a fabulous dining choice in Monroe! The food is always flavorful, and the variety is impressive! I can't get enough of their variety of salsas and never leave hungry. The servers are top-notch, friendly, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the shrimp fajitas—they are the best! Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
