    A very upscale Spanish restaurant that provides excellent service that pairs great with the food and drinks. Food was hot and well cooked and drinks were mixed perfectly. Our waiter was funny attentive but not overbearing. Prices are a bit high compared to some other places in the area but it is well worth it to have a great night out

    Fancy presentations and large portions for a low price. I would have expected to pay twice as much as we did. I got the sopes maria without queso and cream to make them vegan and they were delicious! The black beans were a little watery and could have been more flavorful but everything else was perfect. My favorite beans in town are from Food Bash where they are whole beans but in a thicker broth with tons of onion, garlic, and cilantro, just as an example of what's being compared. I will opt for the refried beans next time as my family said they were really flavorful. This place is great tho so we will definitely be back!

    Best place to get authentic premier Latino food that's most wonderfully prepared. Thought went into every detail throughout the restaurant and the people who works there are so professional and great. Also a great mall experience with a great patio. Shout out to Raul the bar keep who's attention to detail is amazing!

    Very upscale for the price. And the protions are extremely large. Most of the entrees are large enough to share. All of the meat was flavoral and tender. Only took away a star due to them being out of Tres Leches cake.

    Monolete's was very accommodating. We had two join our party at the last minute. They made it work amazingly fast. Everyone loved the food. I got a ceviche appetizer. It was enough for a meal alone. From steaks to fish tacos and everything in-between everyone was happy with there food. We have been here several times and the only bad thing is the bar. If you want a cold beer or a rum and coke this is your spot. Any other drink anyone I have been here with was not well received. Two of us ordered classic mojitos. The first drink on there list. It had a sprig or two of mint. Zero sweetness. It was an excellent rum and club soda , but far from a classic monitor. We had another order a tasteless strawberry daiquiri. The monitor drinkers switched to iced tea and cola. The daiquiri drinker rum and coke. It is a shame such a beautiful bar that has beautiful glasses, three bartenders and honestly the worst drinks ever. So in review a very hard working accommodating staff. Hot delicious food. Subpar bar. I have been here and tried different drinks and honestly the next time it will be a beer or iced tea for me. By all means stop her and enjoy your meal. I would skip any mixed drinks at the bar.
