This was our first visit to Monarca, and we really enjoyed it. It’s spacious inside, so even though they were busy it didn’t feel overly crowded. The food and drinks were all good and in nice size portions. The main standout was the service. Every single person we encountered was extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.

My Fiance & I used to live in magnolia and we absolutely loved this Mexican restaurant! The food was always hot and fresh! The drinks were always cold and refreshing! The margaritas are my absolute favorite don’t even get me started! The queso is TOP notch and the customer service is incomparable. Every time we have ever been they always make sure we feel welcomed and like family. We recently moved to Willis but make the drive all the way back to this location and their Conroe location. That’s how much we love this small family Buisness! Support local and check our monarca! You WONT be disappointed!

Man i hate to admit it but I enjoyed it more then my favorite mexican place. My husband and I got the Katy enchiladas and the Katy burrito and split so we could try them both. Or attempted because we were so full. The meat was delicious, we will be back repeatedly!!! Lunch menu is so fairly priced...can't beat it! Also the salsa is delicious not to spicy very flavorful and it's hot when served

I won’t lie. This is some of the best Mexican food in the woodlands magnolia area. I live in the woodlands and drive here for the fajitas. The staff is awesome. It has been the same people for years and they are fantastic. I haven’t had anything there I didn’t love. Beef fajita meat is fantastic.

Have always had good service here. Everyone is very attentive and friendly. Portions are good sized and typical Tex-mex styles. The menu has a lot of variety so not just tacos and enchiladas.

Hosted a graduation party for 35 peeps at my home. Ordered the party pack the day before. The food was delicious as always, ready on time as promised and very plentiful. We love this place and eat there almost every week! Highly recommend. TE

My first time here and really enjoyed it. Plenty of free parking and no waiting for a table. Yasmin was my Server and she did an excellent job. I had the Summer Combination plate and it was very tasty. And I got it quickly! Keep up the great work Monarca!
