" This place isn't just another Mexican restaurant; it's an experience! The salsa choices are something I could rave about for hours, and each dish I’ve had has been beyond delicious. It’s a family-friendly spot that never disappoints with flavor or service. If you haven't tried it, make your way there immediately! " (*Curated Review*)

" Currently a regular at La Unica! I've loved everything I’ve tried, particularly the chicken fajitas. They are savory and come in generous portions. Each time I visit, the service is friendly, and I appreciate the quick turnaround with our orders. It's always a lively atmosphere filled with smiles and laughter. For the money, you get incredible value here. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taco Tuesday at Taqueria La Unica is a game-changer! My friends and I celebrated by trying nearly every taco on the menu, and I can confirm they were all exquisite. What stood out most was the freshness of the ingredients—everything from the tortillas to the fillings was top-notch. I absolutely loved their al pastor and shrimp tacos! The complimentary cheese dip with our chips was a great touch too. Can’t wait for our next Taco Tuesday tradition! " (*Curated Review*)

" To be honest, I found La Unica a bit overrated. While it's clear that they're trying, the flavors didn't quite hit the mark for me. My enchiladas were a little bland, and I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. Service was good; the staff was friendly and attentive, but just based on this visit, I'm not convinced. I might give it another chance to try something different, but I won’t rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a nice experience at La Unica last week. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, which is perfect for a casual night out. I tried the flautas, and they were excellent! Though the prices were a little high for some of the dishes, the flavors made up for it. Would recommend if you're in town and craving some good Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
