Monarca Modern Mexican Cocina

We spent Mother’s Day brunch at Monarca. We made the decision based on location and availability. We’re happy we did. We had a lovely time while enjoying delicious dishes. Everything was excellent and the dessert was to die for. We will definitely come back again.

The cocktails…. Some of the best margaritas I’ve ever had. HIGHLY recommend the steak tacos 🤤. The food was great wish the churros weren’t as doughy but the flavor was good. The speakeasy was a too loud for us. Maybe I’m just getting old but I want to be able to hear what my friends are saying right next to me. Music too loud but the decor was spot on. Fun night out all in all and very affordable

Monarch Modern Mexican Cocina – Stunning Atmosphere, Great Staff, but Underwhelming Food Monarch is an absolutely beautiful spot with a fantastic ambiance and incredibly kind staff. The restaurant has a gorgeous, modern aesthetic that makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a night out. That said, the food was disappointing. The only dishes I truly enjoyed were the Brussels sprouts and the salad—everything else just didn’t deliver. If you’re looking for a place with incredible Mexican flavors, this might not be it. However, if you’re in the mood for great cocktails (or mocktails), a stunning setting, and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s definitely worth a visit. I’d come back for the drinks and the vibe alone!

Great spot we found in spring area. Food was great we were seated right away, place is well kept & clean. Food was very good we got the Enchiladas, Steak Tacos, & The torta along with some good treats. However, couple of things: Firstly they didnt have a couple of things i requested on the menu, Examples: No Cappucinos, No churro deserts. Also their chips come in a veryy small bowl, had to ask for extras. Secondly although the place itself was clean i found little particles in my water glass so i didnt bother drinking. Also, the restrooms dont have a lock so be aware. Other than that everything else was good. It would be nice to have had everything they promote on the menu. 8/10.

Wow wow wow. I sat at the bar. Nicole, the bartender, made some outstanding margaritas. My favorite was probably the passionfruit or the guava margarita but they’re all amazing. I also had the watermelon. If you like spicy, she makes a special pepper concoction that kicks it up a notch. I came here because there was a Google review about their steak tacos and it was not a joke. These were so succulent and so tasty. I also had fundido with chorizo. It was very good as well. It’s a nice place to come to for lunch or early afternoon because it’s slow and you get more attention. I haven’t been here for dinner, but I feel like this would have really good ambience because the place is lit nicely and the seating looks very comfortable. Like I said, I sat at the bar though and I liked it a lot. There’s no TV so don’t come here to watch a game, but if you wanna chat with the bartender or chat with your friends, then it’s a good spot to sit.

The manager was awesome! Our waiter was working so hard yet he was very nice and attentive. We tipped him in cash 20% +$10. It was our first time there and we will definitely come back. My sister ( whose birthday we celebrated lives in The Woodlands, I’m from Houston (Lakehouse in Goodrich) and my other sister is from San Antonio.

I have hosted multiple private events in Gus’s Speakeasy attached to Monarca, and they have all been huge hits! The food and service has been top notch and Marcelo & Sabastian are so easy and accommodating to work with. I looked forward to many more events to come!

WOW! I cannot express how much I loved my experience at this restaurant. From the staff, the food, the drinks, the atmosphere - all of it, 10/10. Every detail made the visit unforgettable!
