This was amazing. I was recommended the seafood tacos and they were delicious. The staff was very friendly and the outside porch overlooked some horses/cows/donkeys! Great food, staff, and atmosphere. I really loved it here and I will be coming back during my next visit! Thank you so much to the kitchen.
Best Mexican on the island. Get the monicos surf and turf. Amazing! Dine on the deck for coconut grove and goats views.
The servers were lovely, the place has good atmosphere, even though it is right on the highway, and the food seemed very freshly made. We shared a lava flow, which was delicious, but slightly overpriced. The food was very good, but not as spicy as I expect for Mexican food. Seems to be a favorite of the locals, as many of them recommended the restaurant to us.
The place is pricey, but the quality of the food was some of the best Mexican we've had. The homemade taquitos are excellent and the fajitas are fresh and tasty. We actually liked the appetizer taquitos better than the fajitas, but I don't think you can go wrong with anything. The service was also exceptional.
Went to dinner here at the suggestion of a local. It was amazing! The food is good, the drinks are great, and we got to watch goats play while we ate dinner (the goats are the highlight of the trip for my 7 year old so far). My only complaint is that the open face shrimp quesadilla needed more shrimp.
AMAZING FOOD. Passed this place a few times going to and from our activities.
Decided to walk over from our place. WE WEREN’T DISAPPOINTED.
The food is so good; amazing flavor, good quantity…better than we’d even hoped for. Great staff, awesome patio. All in all, would definitely eat here again.
This place was great. It was a little expensive but definitely quality food and delicious too! We had taquitos and a spinach salad with Hipa fish. The catch of the day fish. It was very good, I scarfed the salad down and helped my fiance with her taquitos, which were delicious as well. Unfortunately you don't get chips and salsa, you have to pay for them and seemed a little overpriced so we passed on that. Overall good place for dinner.
Wonderful time at Monica’s. Had the fish nachos, flautas and fish tacos. Fresh catch was ahi tuna and it was delicious. Big portions. Each of my tacos basically had a tuna steak in it. Nothing here was skimped on. The Paloma and Mai Tai cocktails were good too. Staff was friendly.
Popular Mexican Food hangout for locals. Their seafood is good, but there isn’t a lot of it given Kauai is an island. Pricey for what you get.
Can get crowded and there is a wait to get in. Yes, Monica’s Taqueria will charge for your second bowl of chips and salsa, which is insane because all Mexican restaurants have this as ‘complimentary,’ as part of your meal.
Kid Friendly: There is a Kids Menu and high chairs. Outdoor dining is on communal picnic tables
I was here a year ago and couldn’t wait to come back. This was one of my bucket list restaurants that I would be devastated to miss on my 2nd stay in Kaua’i. To begin the Staff are extremely friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have a wonderful experience. The food is second to none and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this establishment to anyone who visits Kaua’i or lives in Kauai’i. The Drinks are top notch and worth a try. If you are unsure where to go for lunch or dinner this is a must. Lastly the Goats are great entertainment if they happen to make a visit.
