Homemade flour & corn tortillas, breakfast tacos, & aguas frescas
"Taqueria Monchy’s is small but mighty. The tiny counter-service spot in the East End doubles as a bus station, and serves tacos on handmade flour and corn tortillas. Try the rajas con queso on cushion-soft corn tortillas and whatever’s available for breakfast on flour. And while Monchy’s opens at 5am nearly every day of the week, go there for lunch on Tuesdays to grab any seven tacos for $1.50 each." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"For those inevitable moments when you are hungry and also want to book a quick bus trip to Mexico, there’s Taqueria Monchy’s. The counter-service taco restaurant in the East End also doubles as a bus station counter and pickup point (a decision of pure genius), so you can take your homestyle rajas con queso and a sweet sandía agua fresca to go, if need be. Or you can stay and eat all day at the small booths inside. Breakfast tacos, like eggs with ham or potato, go quickly, but you can get barbacoa and rajas con queso any day of the week. Don’t skip the creamy refried beans that melt right into the tortillas, or the chile de arbol salsa, which will make you feel alive again. We suggest trying both the homemade flour and corn tortillas, which are equally fluffy and soft." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

"Mornings are started off right at Monchy’s, where agua frescas abound along with more than a dozen breakfast taco combinations to choose from. Switch it up with the Calabaza taco, stuffed with squash and queso fresco, or the Discada, filled with bacon, sausage, and onion, and ask about the breakfast quesadilla taco for a beloved off-the-menu item." - Brittany Britto Garley
