we get the breakfast burritos. we like them, except once in a while you get an egg shell but it's still good food. they are always quick ans cheerful
Love this place! People complaining that it's not very good either ordered the wrong thing (chicken burrito) or know nothing about authentic Mexican food. Try the sausage egg and cheese breakfast burrito, like no other one in town. Try the carne asada tacos, plate or fries straight goodness. The salsas are Devine and I love to smother my food with them. If you want lighter without meat the chili relleno burrito is fantastic as well. The place may not be the fanciest but the food is legit.
Excellent food & Excellent prices. Food was great. Carne asada burrito was good... reminded me of good carne asada burritos back home in San Diego, CA. The prices are very good too. Not an impressive place-but the food makes up for it.
Reallllllllllllly good I went and got orchada and I went to heaven and the food is great.
I love Monica's...my wife is from the springs and when we come back to the springs we always eat here a few times. I always get a cabeza taco no matter what I get. The only thing I don't really care for are the fish tacos. This is definitely my favorite taco shop.
This was an okay place to eat. Had a carnen asada burrito and the gf had a carne asada taco. The burrito had shredded beef while the taco had small cuts of beef interestingly. There was a ton of food in the tortillas but we both agreed the beef had an odd taste. Not bad but odd. They also use a lot of cilantro but I do see that as a good thing. I would go again but I don't see it as being a holy grail of Mexican food like my favorite back home, El Tapatio in Sedalia, Mo.
Great Carne asada Tacos!. Whenever I,m over on E Fillmore I have to STOP immediately and go get a couple of these most tasty tacos!Stuffed with steak,pico, and guac they satisfy to no end!!
Afforadable & Tasty. Ate here last night on our way out of the Springs, and it was a great choice! It's nothing impressive or fancy, but the food is flavorful, and they give you tons of it! My husband and I both ordered the carne asada burritos based off one of the reviews, and they were packed FULL of beef, and we both really enjoyed them. It is a go to stop if you are looking for something on the fly and want a tasty more authentic mexican food experience.
A favorite for years. Where to begin? Monica's is delicious, authentic and affordable. I have NEVER been disappointed, and that's not an exaggeration. My favorite menu items are the carne asada burrito, the carne asada plate, any of their enchiladas, the shredded beef tacos, and all of their breakfast burritos. I recently tried the chile relleno, and that was great, too! And the tortillas (corn and flour) are good enough to eat on their own - which I've done. Many times. Whenever I am away from home, Monica's is the restaurant I miss the most. Sure, I am fond of some of the more "upscale" eateries in town, but Monica's is simply Mexican food for the true fan.
Heaven Is Walking Distance From Home. I love Monica's. The carne asada burrito is about two bites away from heaven, I'm fairly certain. I prefer the green salsa, but both are flavorful and make an excellent addition to your meal. If you really want a delicious heart attack to-go, the carne asada fries (all the ingredients of the burrito, served over fries--messy and mind boggling). My only complaint is that this is not a place that serves late when you have that post-beer desire for deep-fried happiness.
One of the best taco shops for sure! I passed it for two years driving by not stopping because it looked a little bit ghetto. I’ll tell you what though the ground beef tacos are amazing. They give you your monies worth of toppings. The hibiscus flower tea red one, is so dam good🏆 Tip them, also get red and green sauce!
Been my favorite place for Mexican drive through for 10+ years, they were the cheap burrito that still tasted amazing when I was broke and eating cereal most nights so this is a fond memory for me. I still enjoy this food despite not being as broke, but their red sauce is AMAZING. The staff is always pleasant and friendly too, which I’m sure isn’t always easy when you’re in a drive through off Filmore. Always try to put a couple bucks in the tip can, every little bit helps these days!
Great food and extremely friendly staff. Highly recommended taqueria. Chimichanga 9/10
Great fast food chain!
Food: really good. I am partial to the breakfast burritos and quesadillas. Horchata here is also tasty good! Only downside is the limit the salsa which is made in-house and is quite delicious (I like the green salsa)
Service: quick and friendly!
Price: pretty good considering the quality and quantity of the food!
Used to eat there a lot when I worked around the corner. Good food for a cheap price. They had a different cook there for a while and the food quality went down. Better cook now and they open at 5 am.
We to this “taco shop” (it’s soooo much more!😊) a few months back dropping my grandson off at CC. Did not see ceviche on the menu- & decided to order something else similar. When we got back to our hotel rooms I could not believe it!!
The gentleman cooking in the back without ever saying a word! had prepared the BEST SHRIMP CEVICHE I ever ate in entire my life!! Between Arizona- California- Nevada- & now Colorado! THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! It was all so fresh! And it was a large order- late- that’s why to go.
Had to confirm with my grandson name of the restaurant to make sure to write this review.
The 5-Star rating equals a 10! It’s been a few months & I can still see & taste that ceviche like it was yesterday- so awesome! Will definitely be back there. THANK YOU!!!
Growing up in San Diego, I've been spoiled with good mexican food, and no where else in the country is the same... Until I came to Monica's.
I bumped into the owners about a year later, turns out, they're from San Diego, which explains why this place is so amazing!
I have been raving about Monica's Taco Shop ever since I came back. I think it's absolutely amazing, with the exception of some tacos, but it's cheap and delicious.
For the price, it's absolutely worth it. Every time I visit Colorado, I visit Monica's Taco Shop because it's dirt cheap. You can order every single taco for under $20-25. I call that a bargain!
For the taste, I absolutely love it. Maybe because I'm being biased because it's so cheap, but it's still so good! I've only bought their tacos because I'm not fond of "plates," since I don't like beans and rice.
For their customer service, I've only interacted with their cashier, and they, meaning two people from two different locations, were really nice and kind. If you wanted any extra utensils or napkins, they provide it.
Overall, I'd return to Monica's Taco Shop to eat over and over again. TAKE MY MONEY!
Amazing! Breakfast burrito: chorizo, egg, potato and cheese. So good. And I love a staff that is having a good time, made for a great morning stop. In my top 5 local taco shops.
Great place for a good meal. Super quick service! Friendly, helpful waitstaff. Good sized portions! Recommended!
