Tacos Monarca

Headed to our friends house and found this gem. (There's A LOT of trucks up Alum Rock-- happy we got pulled to this place. The name definitely helped with the decision. The birririas were SOOO GOOD; not too cheesy nor too greasy. We ordered 3, $10 plate that included the consome and canned drink-- and they had my manzanita! WE WILL BE BACK! (The front lady was also very sweet and asked if it was our first time...very attentive to our curiosity on what to order. )

Loved the Quesabirria taco's with consome. They have a deal where you get 3 Quesabirria taco's & a drink for $10! They're parked right across the street from James Lick High School and have tables and chairs available to eat there.The service was fast and friendly including the older gentleman that welcomed us and asked how everything was. Being Mexican, it made me feel right at home with that type of hospitality that you just don't see as often.Definitely will be coming back to try their regular tacos next time.

This is my current favorite queso birria spot. The tacos are crunchy and meaty. The combo is a great deal - $10 for 3 with all fixings and tasty consommé (not too salty) and a soda. The workers are very nice and they accept card. One of the best bang for your buck meals you can find today. Looks like they also do catering.

Ordered 2 pollo and 1 birria taco, and they gave me Consommé. The tacos were very good, and the consommé was very flavorful. Service was relatively fast, and the ambiance was a food truck.

Really enjoyed the birria tacos, even though they forgot the consome it was still very good. The carne asada tacos with green sauce had a kick, and small tortillas were fresh. We will be back. I'm surprised they don't have more reviews on other platforms.

Omg this tacos were delicious. The service was great. Easy parking. This is my new spot to go every time I want tacos in San Jose. I'll upload photos the next time I go.

This place is not only delicious, but the staff is so friendly. They truly make you feel welcome. We will definitely come back, because these are the best quesabirria tacos.

As in previous review the food always amazing!!! Exceptional service! They also have a Cafe Horchata on the menu!!! Delicious!! Today they have 3 quesabirria for 10 dollars, with a drink. I believe it is offered Tuesday to Friday but call and ask they are very friendly! I would love for their location to be closer to home but when I do get a chance to stop by it's my final stop before going home! I like to head home happy and full!

Super friendly staff. Really good quesabirria tacos. Great price - 3 tacos for $10! Say hello to grandpa who is always on hand.

I was looking tacos with handmade tortillas, accepted card/Apple Pay, and was close to home. Tacos Monarca was everything I hoped it would be and more!I ordered two tacos de asada and one de al pastor. It was a pleasant surprise to see the extra tortilla when it first came out. The tacos were flavorful and not greasy. I think the pastor was my favorite. The staff were attentive, friendly, and bilingual. There's a small parking lot and nice tables overlooking Alum Rock Village's main intersection. I will definitely be back!
