La Monarca Michoacana — under-the-radar mexican in Logan Square. Expect noise, energy, and a full house. You can taste the generations behind this. "The mole and the salads and the slice avocado was fresh next to the rice" — Art JIMENEZ III

“Looking to the reviews I found some negative feedback, well, from my side I can say..”

Looking to the reviews I found some negative feedback, well, from my side I can say... I was lucky that I got there before rush hour, I had a burrito, it was yummy, delicious. I don't leave positive comments if a place don't deserve, at this place I found the freshness, flavor and great service. Athmosphere was authentic Mexican, as soon as you are inside, you feel in a small mexican town restaurant, clean and great ambient. the same is the food, tasty, delicious. Also, I had to try one alpastor taco, belive me, it was the signature to come back again.

“Well on this Father's day just to ride my motorcycle to the south side it was a tough choice since...”

Well on this Father's day just to ride my motorcycle to the south side it was a tough choice since I left late instead of writing early on my motor cycle on either driving all the way to the northwest suburbs for Korean food or Mexican? I also wanted to go to the south side or the South side suburbs and just passing along in my Harley saw this place and decided to give it a try on North avenue. So far it was very good but not the best. I started off with a fresh carrot juice versus your usual sweet freshly squeezed fruit juice this one was very fresh and tasty. As with any Mexican restaurant they always give you complimentary chips similar to how Koreans give you kimchi. Which I was munching on I went for the fajitas de Res or beef fajitas. They were delicious however I felt they put too much sliced tomato which gave it a watery sauce. The tortillas which was corn tortillas was also fresh and delicious with the dinner that I treated for lunch to eat in order. The mole and the salads and the slice avocado was fresh next to the rice. Four out of five stars because of the fact that when they cook and cast iron the steak fajita that they've added a lot of cooked tomato which caused the tomatoes to water down since it's piping hot. Prices were actually pretty reasonable I would probably come back here again if I'm passing by to North avenue before Humboldt Park.

We ordered two taco dinners to go online and some tamales. All of the food was delicious and had great portions. Everyone was super friendly and nice when we picked up our order. Overall it was a great place to eat and we plan on going back and dining in.

“The chicken soup cured me on a rainy day.”

The chicken soup cured me on a rainy day. I live nearby and have been here a few times and it does not miss! 4 salsas with chips when you dine in, a horchata, two soups and shrimp fajitas and we were full to the gills. New favorite local joint!

“Just a wonderful restaurant for the neighborhood.”

Just a wonderful restaurant for the neighborhood! Their tacos and burritos are phenomenal. My husband loves their quesa birria. Their refried beans are perfect! The salsa verde is the best. I love having this restaurant around the corner. And definitely dine in if you get a chance. It's so pretty and clean inside! You can tell the owners really care about the business. I really need to try the desayuno sometime with fresh squeezed jugo de naranja.
