Beautiful restaurant. We loved everything we ordered. We started with margaritas: on ice, frozen & Virgin. All great!
The nachos & guacamole are dangerously good. It is hard to stop once you start.
Our mains were fish tacos, chicken quesadilla, potato taco. The fish tacos we're excellent. The potato taco was so surprisingly delicious.
Unfortunately we ate so much that we did not have room for dessert.
The biggest surprise is that we tried fried crickets. To be honest they aren't good but also not terrible. 😁
I cannot wait to return!

Really cute place & very friendly staff.

Unfortunately the food was very underwhelming. We got the chicken quesadillas & beef tacos suadero, & the meat was very dry & flavorless.

However, the tortilla chips with the 2 dips they serve while waiting for the food are 10/10!

Service was slow & my friend never got the drink she ordered. Never told us their card machine was broken until it was time to pay.
We had 3 entrees & 3 mains.
Entree portions good but were super small for the price. 15$ a small bowl of guac is criminal.
The mains we had were the potatos hardshell tacos, which were bland.
The hardshell chicken tacos, which were dry.
The birria tacos, which came with plenty of meat but no flavor.
It was also unbearably hot inside & not very lit up well.

I'm not a fan of taco but the chicken taco served here is very delicious. The margarita is also very tasty. Staff are friendly & welcoming.

Amazing! The best Mexican restaurant in town. The food is amazing. My husband & I had the chicken enchiladas, the birria tacos, & the refried beans & they were delicious. The staff & owners are super kind & welcoming. The restaurant is clean, comfortable with a vibrant decor. We are so happy that they came back to Monkland!!!
