This is an excellent place and it’s right on the square in Medina, Ohio! Very nice menu with lots of choices! We enjoyed shrimp tacos and veggie tacos! There is something for everyone! It’s also a great place for a birthday celebration! Tapioca for dessert! Margarita flight!!! Give it a try!

This place has by far become my favorite Mexican restaurant in Medina. The fact that it is centrally located right on the historic Medina Square makes it even better! I haven’t had a dish that I didn’t love. One of my favorite items is the cilantro lime rice!

Beautiful butterfly theme! Stopped in for a margarita on a warm day and ended up eating a full meal because the menu was so interesting. Most of the margaritas made with fresh fruit tried spicy mango, octopus ( no actual octopus ) has tequila and a float of sangria on top. They also have fresh fruit sangria. Kiwi Sangria was the special today. Yum! The salsa served with chips was fresh and delicious! Special of the day was a chicken stuffed poblano served with rice and fresh house made blue tortilla. Also tried a house special Huarache with carne asada served on a fresh blue tortilla made that day. Staff were helpful and friendly. Loved it all and look forward to trying everything on the menu.

WOW!! Monarch Cantina is a MUST when you’re in Medina. The food was exceptional, I had the Tacos Vallarta, they are served with a pineapple jalapeno sauce. OMG!! Fantastic. The salsa was the best I’ve ever had. And the spicy tortilla soup, wonderful. The server, Maria was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind.

Oh my goodness the food was amazing! Everything tasted fresh and delicious. All the meat was so tender and tastey. I can’t wait to go back. This is definitely a fancier Mexican restaurant and worth every penny. Would make a perfect date night place or girls night. Everyone was very friendly

This is a GREAT Mexican Restaurant that has a large bar area and a couple of large dining rooms too. They are right on the Medina Square. They have a nice selection on their menu and a good kids menu. The food is really good and the restaurant is very clean with a festive and cheerful vibe. Service was prompt and polite. We enjoyed our meals and the atmosphere.

I have a list of restaurants to try, and this one was. I didn’t realize until we were there looking over the menu that they go together with The Blue Habenaro. The menus are almost the same, which was fine because we LOVE Blue Habenaro. The chorizo balls are always a MUST! Service was great. Food was great, which I obviously knew it would be. I recommend bothrestaurants.
