Handmade tortillas, sizzling griddles, and margaritas that hit just right — welcome to your new favorite taco spot on Alum Rock Ave.
Hand-pressed tortillas made in-house. No shortcuts, no freezers — just real food, real fast.
Authentic flavors passed down through generations, crafted with the care of home cooking.
Hand-shaken margaritas, cold beers, and a full bar to pair with your meal perfectly.
Warm lighting, lively music, and a crew that treats every guest like family.
From street-style tacos to loaded plates and frosty margaritas — there's something for everyone at the table.
Tacos Monarca started with a simple idea: bring the taste of real Mexican street food to San Jose. No gimmicks, no frozen ingredients — just fresh tortillas pressed daily, meats marinated from scratch, and recipes that have been in our family for years.
We opened our doors on Alum Rock Ave because we wanted a place where neighbors could grab a quick lunch, families could celebrate together, and anyone walking in would leave feeling like they were part of the family.
Every taco we serve carries that same warmth. Come see for yourself.
Great food, great prices — every day of the week.
Three tacos for a special price all midweek. It's our way of making your week easier.
Half-price margaritas on the weekend. Bring a friend and make a night of it.
Quick, filling, and affordable — our lunch combo is the perfect midday reset.
