Monarca Mexican Restaurant - Columbus (GA)

5 /5 Tarren Bruce: Very pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. This isnt your same old Mexican food that you can get from every other restaurant in Columbus. They are bringing freshly grilled clean flavors to Mexican cuisine. The flavors are different and fantastic. I truly enjoyed this meal and I will be back to try some more things. The char grilled flavor is what sets this place apart for me. The drinks were delicious and still packed a punch. The chips were light and crispy, the salsa was bright flavorful and herbaceous with a small hint of spice. Oh and I cant forget the staff. They are more than attentive. I honestly dont know if they can do anything any better than what they did. They are fast, kind, knowledgeable about the menu. Everything went right about thus visit. For the first time in a long time I am impressed. Kudos to the owners.

3 /5 Rick Goebel: Some sustaines and some improves. Service is great! Atmosphere and decor is nice. Food is hit and miss ... The fish tacos (fried) bland, zero attempts at seasoning and flavor. Rice was also bland. Black beans and salsa... average? The steak was flavorful and delicate! The chimichurri was flavourful as was the chicken soup. I actually enjoyed the soup more than anything else! I added jalapenos and rice making it even better! Im sure this restaurant will get better in time.

1 /5 Eliza: Garbage bruh, they burnt my tortillas to a crisp, it’s not just a light char they literally reek of burnt. Didn’t give me full portions for fajitas. There’s literally a drip of sauce there just to mock me I guess. I used to love these fajitas, literally loved them 2 weeks ago. Idk who they got in their kitchen but this shit is whack. $25 for some stuff a 8 year old could put together.

5 /5 Amy Roberts: LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. The restaurant is gorgeous! They have outdoor dining which is always a PLUS in our book! They have things on the drink and dining menu that you dont see in other Latino-based restaurants. The staff is wonderful and the service and food is top notch! I had the Caribbean chicken and it was amazing! Im already looking forward to the next time we can eat here again!

5 /5 DanielF41: Me and my family have been coming here since the opening. Its definitely one of the better places to dine around the area especially for Hispanic food. The environment is great and the staff is excellent. The salsa sometimes is better than other times but other than that we love it.
