Review of Cantina Monarca

I arrived at 1:30pm for lunch without a reservation on a Thursday and was able to be seated right away. The restaurant is beautifully and creatively appointed, although the tables and chairs are crowded together. The curved seating along the window is somewhat awkward for comfort. Despite the crowded conditions, the service was excellent. Wait staff were attentive to my needs. I learned when I arrived that the menu is completely gluten-free. I ordered the Quesabirria Taco. The homemade monterrey cheese and corn tortilla - flavorful, tender and thick - was filled with tender beef, and sauted red onions. One taco made a perfect meal. I would visit Cantina Monarca and order this Taco again the next time I am in Bellevue or explore other items on the menu. Diners at Cantina Monarca must be at least 21 years of age;
