Monica’s Tacos

All praises for Monica’s Tacos to be at the right place in the middle of nowhere. My client was a few blocks away and I needed a restroom where two other establishments in this heck of a place wouldn’t allow me the use of theirs even though it entered my mind to inquire about the 4 acre lots being advertised for sale all over town. Good thing this taco place is here specially when their air conditioning is just the right temperature compared to the searing heat outside. It was empty when I got in but a family came and so did a dude who ordered a beer. Their decorations are geared toward the biker crowd. And they have an ice cream station for the kids. I guess this is the family fun day place for life in the boonies. Definitely this town need more restaurant entrepreneurs like Monica. Maybe I can put one up in my four acre ranch.

8 hour old cooked chicken can not be served to people! My wife is pregnant and started eating this (see photo). I know that even they have no idea what’s landed on it in that amount of time. It can only be this hard and translucent after sitting an entire day. Sorry guys you lost a lot of local business.

Always great. Tacos are ol school favorite. Carne Asada burrito with refried beans is the best with the chunky salsa. Shrimp tacos are killer. Chili verde is amazing. Had them cater my sons birthday and the guys were very nice and polite and food was on point!!! Thank you

I love this place. We go at least once a week for the adult happy meal. we love the young lady that’s works on Mondays night. Chips and salsa are supper yummy and fresh.

I’ve given this place 3 chances at getting it right. The only thing that is half way decent are the fish tacos and that’s only when the cook gets is right.
Attempt 1 I ordered 3 fish tacos and 3 asada
Tacos… Fish were ok, asada not so good.
Attempt 2 my son wanted fish tacos. Those again good to go, I decided to try something else so I ordered the chicken taquitos and a carnitas taco. Taquitos by far the worst I’ve ever had! I couldn’t even get through the second bite. Carnitas taco were very dry.
Attempt 3 my son again wanted the fish tacos and I decided not to try anything else. Got home and fish tacos were made completely different than before… Melted
Cheese, no sauce and completely nasty.
3 chances is all I can give. Lets face it the Mesa isn’t going to ever have a decent Mexican joint up here. Maybe I expect to much from Mexican food joints, given that I was born and raised in San Diego. Want some real Mexican food go to SD!

Love this place. Close to home and very tasty! They have definitely improved since opening!

This used to be my favorite Mexican place. It’s gotten so disgusting the past few months. I’ve gone back a few times, hoping it was just an off day, nope. Gradually worse every time I’ve gone. Since my last visit, I will NEVER go back again! I ordered a side of chips and salsa, and the salsa was sooooo disgusting! I think it must have been sitting for a week. The smell was horrendous and it was bubbling from the bacteria growing in it. I immediately threw it out. The chips were from a bag and my burrito was greasy, full of tough, gristly carne asada. The carne asada fries used to be bomb! Now, just limp, greasy fries piles with crappy meat. Shame on you Monica’s!!! Fix your food or you’ll be out of business very soon! This is the Mesa location I’m talking about. The other location has been okay.
