The restaurant is in a great location on a canal, accessible by both boat and car. The atmosphere was pleasant, with a wonderful outdoor seating area. The service started off decent but gradually slowed down and worsened as the meal progressed. The salsa was okay but lacked flavor, while the queso was packed with flavor, as was the rest of the meal. The nachos were delicious and definitely a must-try. The mixed drinks were perfect, rounding out an overall enjoyable dining experience.

Yum yum yum - so good! I love sitting at the bar. Bartenders are always giving great service!

Food was 9.5/10 Meat had a lot of flavor! I liked that a few dishes came with extra queso on the side! Everything was cooked perfectly! Red & green hot sauce was definitely my favorite add on!! The only thing that didn't get this section a 10 out of 10; my family and I agreed that the rice didn't taste as authentic as we thought it would or maybe the chef forgot a certain ingredient? Service: 10/10 The hostess sat is very quickly and our server kept our drinks full which is always appreciated! The food came out in a timely manner and steaming hot! Our waitress was very nice & prompt with our table! Ambiance: 10/10 This is a great place to take a big party or huge get together, lots of seating! Luckily while we were there, we got to listen to beautiful music played live by an individual mariachi performer who did an absolutely amazing job singing. We went for a birthday & he even sang happy birthday to our table. Amazing performance & experience! This was definitely the most expensive Mexican restaurant we've been to bringing our total for 5 people to about $260 (that's including 20% tip) making it about $52 per person. It was pretty pricey but the experience we had and food was good so we justified the price for the food AND the experience!

Ask for KARINA!!!! Best Server ever!!! She will serve you with a kind warm energy and professional attitude Every Time!!When you come in they serve you fresh homemade salsa with hot chips. You can also ask them for a spicier homemade salsa. They do table side, fresh guacamole per order. Everything is farmed to table fresh and the best. The staff make you feel like family they are all about service service service, and best fresh food ever, best Mexican in Cape Coral stop at Monarca's!!!! Tip your servers!!! Thank you Monarca Family! Also they have a robot waitress that carries the food when they're busy you'll see the robot coming through the restaurant following behind the server so that all of your big party food order is hot and fresh & is in one place, at your table!

Come here for lunch often. Food is always good. Service is okay depends on who helps you but for the most part everyone is nice. The ambiance is good...typical Mexican restaurant. They have nice decor and comfy seating. I have had drinks here before and they are all pretty good. Birria Tacos are a great thing to try your first time...just a little messy ifykyk. Horchata is also delicious. If you do a review they give you a dessert or a margarita!

First, the parking is very convenient. The bar is tastefully set up ready for your arrival. We had a fresh guacamole which is prepared by the table, and is quite tasty and a little spicy. I would definitely partake. Thank you the food is very good and delicious the only advice I would tell you is if you are not very hungry and share a meal because the food is very good but very filling. The service is impeccable.
