4.0My View: I walked into the restaurant after me and my guests had the valet take our car. The greeter was so kind, but distracted. We were seated quickly in a booth back by the kitchen and the restrooms, but the restaurant was not full yet. I think they were trying to “fill” the very large restaurant…Was too large for my tastes…The server took our orders for Drinks,then the meal…but it was a bit loud back there. My biggest complaint was not anything I expected…but the table at the booth was not sized correctly, We mentioned it to the staff…but they seemed uninterested in what we thought about the interior design solutions for furniture.
The food was good, the service was good, the atmosphere was wild.
I love all o Monica’s restaurants…mainly because I can taste the talent behind the food.
And Monica and her team are rocking the kitchen….usually.
If I truly rate the food I had…It was Great too, but because the staff was “getting it together”, I miss ordered and got something I was not expecting. Seafood-esque Mexican food…I must be prepared for.
The restaurant had only been opened a week…so.
I’m going back soon to reevaluate the experience.
And I can’t wait….I did love the energy.

1.0Unbelievably bad on all points: 1. garish, faux Toltec decor; 2. awful, loud disco music; 3. erratic service; 4. worst of all, crumby food. Having greatly enjoyed Monica’s last restaurant, this one was a real shock. How could so many aspects be so awful? Sure, the two bars indicate that it might turn out to be a popular late-night meat market for area residents, but as a place to consider for an enjoyable dining experience, this pretentious joint should be avoided at all costs.

5.0I love the eclectic atmosphere! Friendly, promt service and creative cuisine. I enjoyed the chips and salsa that had a zest and smokiness, but not so hot that it burns. The braised brisket taco and braised beef tongue tacos were very tasty and melted in my mouth! Gill was my server who was outstanding. The owner,Monica, greated each table while I was there and was very gracious. The margarita was amazing and at $3.50, even more attractive! So glad Monica’s is here!!
I also had a braised brisket taco and loved them both the same!
