Monarca Taqueria & Cantina

Occupying the former Game Day bar in Clifton, Monarca Taqueria & Cantina serves authentic Mexican cuisine prepared from scratch using original recipes. The menu highlights include tacos, seafood, and the popular molcajete, with customers frequently praising the hot stone bowl version. Diners can eat indoors or on the outdoor patio, pairing meals with craft cocktails, beer flights, and strong horchada. The venue hosts live music and weekly events, offering daily specials such as $2.50 tacos on Taco Tuesdays and all-day happy hour from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Weekends feature brunch options and bottomless mimosas, while Mondays provide a Kids Eat Free deal. Started as a food truck before moving into this physical location, the family-owned spot maintains a family-friendly vibe and offers catering services for events. Online reservations are available for those planning their visit.
