“ I tend to do take out but the rerestaurant is clean and the staff are personable. Food is delicious. People always look to be enjoying themselves. ”

“ Last week, my wife and I visited Monarquia in Amherst, NH, an authentic Mexican restaurant, after shopping for antiques at Vintage 101 next door . We absolutely loved Monarquia (and Vintage 101). I chose the Pesca Del Arroyo, which featured a tilapia-like fish called Mojarra, surrounded by succulent shrimp. So good! Please do yourself a favor and try this dish! My wife had the Jalapeño Salad with chicken. It was perfect. I stole some it from her and I loved the flavors. I had a house margarita, which was traditional and well made. We ate outdoors, in a peaceful setting. The service was professional and attentive. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant, tucked away off Route 101 at Salzburg Square in Amherst. ”

“ The service is always very attentive whenever I dine here. The food is excellent and their specialty margaritas are delicious. I had the El Presidente margaritas and it was terrific. Love their chips and salsa too. Definitely recommend it! ”

“ Authentic Mexican food! A fabulous, delicious and out of the way eatery. Miz and his staff were very accommodating, friendly, and made sure we satisfied with our order. We decided to try Monarquia because they had Caldo de Mar, which is a spicy seafood soup, which my wife always enjoys. It was excellent with crab legs, mussels, fish and mixture of vegetables - so tasty, delicious and hit the 'high' notes. The Chile Rellenos were also delicious, as were the chicharon tacos. Quite a selection of Margaritas, that were delicious. Worth the drive to Amherst to enjoy this wonderful restaurant. Sorry, forgot iPhone so no pics. ”

“ I had an outstanding experience at this Mexican restaurant! Paulette, our waitress, provided excellent service. The Monterey burrito was delicious, the margarita was spot-on, and the fried ice cream was a delightful surprise with strawberries. This place is now our go-to for authentic and tasty Mexican cuisine. Highly recommend! ”

“ Probably some of the best Mexican food in New Hampshire. As a Californian who's been living in NH for almost 5 years, it's been so hard to find any good Mexican food here. The chips and salsa are delicious. The shrimp ceviche is my favorite and we usually order it as an appetizer. The tacos have lots of good flavor ”

“ Had lunch with my friend and was pleasantly surprised. The food was very good and homemade. I had the burrito and only had half as it was larger than I expected. Full of flavor and wicked yummy. Will definitely be going back. ”

“ Very good. Now it's also true that almost every time I've been here there's been an issue. But nonetheless I keep returning so it must be good, right? The chips are always crisp and fresh and the salsa is quite good. They say they prepare authentic and they do. The food always tastes fresh and they take the time to create reasonably complex spice combinations. Their margaritas are a definite cut above; they take them seriously and other than an odd variation in heat in one of their jalapeño concoctions over three different samples they're pretty bullet-proof. Kind of a lively place generally - definitely a family oriented vibe. ”
