Monarca

Was pretty amazed by the food and service! I will definitely be back. The portions are large, very good value! If i had to complain, the lights are too bright

Great overall experience. Food was delicious, unique, and beautifully presented. Service was efficient, down-to-earth and friendly. Nice drinks menu. Amazing large, heated, and covered patio beside the courtyard. Even the music selection was perfect as was the volume. Having dinner here felt like we were on holidays! Will definitely be going back.

A nice combo of Mexican food and western fancy style restaurant! We enjoyed food , drink and birthday cake! Nice staff. And beautiful interior design including unique paintings . Tasty dip sauces

The restaurant is very pretty and vibrant I love it! Drinks are very tasty and exotics. The food was ok, we try the arrachera and the octopus, I wish our server was more attentive and professional to at lest make the suggestion of adding some sides dishes for the mains the mains are small and simple Honestly he make us feel very uncomfortable to the point that we decided to go somewhere else. It seems that "pepe" needs vacations.

Mexican on the "finer dining" end of things. Food tasted great with attention to details and the venue is hip and chic. Service is excellent and they also concoct decent drinks. It's in the heart of Gastown so parking is scarce and at a premium.

Love the room and vibe of this place. The service was good. Drinks good too. Food was a bit hit or miss though. I might give it another try or come here just for drinks. Vegetarian options: One vegetarian taco option

Been three times this month! Highly recommend for great drinks and food. It has never disappointed. Go to drink is the classic margaritas and sour amarettos! The seared tuna on tostada is a must try.Recommended dishesAhi Tuna Appy, Taco, Margarita De

It was my first time sitting on the bar for food and i was hesitant because i am not comfortable sitting on high chairs with legs hanging . But the bar chairs turned out to be very comfortable that me and my friend sat there for the whole time for our drinks and dinner. The food was amazing. It was so delicious and fresh. We had only the vegetarian stuff but i am sure the non vegetarian would be equally good. Loved the ambiance and enjoyed every bite of my food.

This may be one of my new favourites in the city! Drink menu was superb. If you like refreshing and not overly sweet “ Lazy Afternoon”, I also tried “ Let me down easy “ which was also delicious for drinks. Cochinita tacos were amazing, but the Arrachera took the cake. Beautifully plated, flavourful and we’ll portioned. The decor also sets the standard throughout, beautiful a art work and color scheme. Playlist was

Love the vibe, the food and the people who work there! The owner is super cool! Have been there a couple times and will definitely go back regularly. Lily who served us tonight was precious! Highly recommended
