I LOVE this place. Dedicated GF, so you don't have to worry about cross contamination. They have a great selection of food, pastries, and drinks. I love the pupusas (chicken and cheese is sooo good), plantains, and yucca fries. The horchata and agua fresca are also really good. Definitely stop by if you're in Colorado Springs!
Food was delicious but we had to wait 40 mins to get our meal and no one came to update us at all
This was a great local place. The food was awesome, including GF dessert. We will be back.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!! 100% gluten free is out of this world 🤯 got a beef & cheese pupusa and they are huge! Ate half with a side of spanish rice which was probably the best thing I have ever had on the planet. Absolutely recommend! My boyfriend who is non gf got an empanada and loved it 🤩 Horchata was good - very, very cinnamon-y
We tried three entries and all were delicious! Flautas, tacos and the Avalanche. Great flavor and totally gluten free. COS needs more restaurants like this with reasonable prices and great food. We liked the vibe of the place that had both outdoor and indoor seating in a casual environment. With three celiac members of the families this is a fan favorite in our household!
This place is amazing! Everything I tried was so good. So good, in fact, I went back a few days later to have some more. The first time I got a smothered green chili pupusa with spicy carnitas and cheese and Spanish rice. Incredible. Went back for the queso tacos and those were delicious as well. Highly recommend this place!!
Monse’s is an absolutely incredible gluten free dining experience. The entire place is dedicated GF and the portions are huge and tasty. I had the Pupusa Colorado with revueltas and cheese and topped with chorizo. Man, one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. If you’re Celiac and nervous about eating out, have no fear at Monse’s!
Always delicious, always a way to mix and match for a new taste, always fresh, always safe for Celiacs!
I was excited to eat here when I read the reviews, but they only had 1 person working & our service was extremely slow. They did have a big snow storm the day before so maybe they were short employees?
They are 100% gf & they have a ton of vegan & vegetarian options, however, I was disappointed I couldn’t custom order exactly what I wanted. For instance, I wanted a papusa with meat, no cheese. They said all of the papusas already came with cheese & couldn’t be removed. They did however have vegan options, but they didn’t include the meat I was hoping for. We did have the nachos with black beans & the vegan queso & it was good. My daughter had the chicken & cheese empanada and she loved it! I was just disappointed I couldn’t have as many items since they were all gf but not df.
What a fun ambiance. Felt like I was in South America. The papusas were nice and thick. I had the taquitos and plantains. Yum! The homemade chips and salsa were perfect.
I did not like the chunky apple/strawberry lemonade. I would get water next time.
Next visit wasn’t as fun. I raved about it to a friend and then it fell flat. Didn’t enjoy my agua Fresca. I forgot I was going to order water next time 🤪
The food is decently priced, but they get you with the drinks and extras. 🤑
My friend’s pupusa was so hard she couldn’t cut it. They brought her the wrong kind at first-that one looked normal, but the replacement was bad. She tried to eat it but took most of it home.
I love that it’s dedicated gluten-free, but it disappointed the second time. My advice? Don’t get complacent in the kitchen. I want to go back and try some more. Don’t make me regret it when I do.
Great food, GF everything! Very delicious and portions are huge!
My husband and I ate here twice during our trip to CO because this place had so much to offer! The food was delicious and we enjoyed everything we ate. It was so great to know everything on the menu was safe to eat and GF— and a bonus it was all delicious! We tried the chicken, pork, and beef and all were great. I loved the bean and cheese pupusas and the melted cheese on top really makes the dish shine. I highly recommend visiting and getting the jalapeño margarita!
Entire menu is gluten-free.
The pupusas were delicous, as were the yucca fries. Generous portion sizes. Pleasant atmosphere & personable staff. I also got a slice of GF chocolate cake to go, and it was yummy. Highly recommended.
so let me just say the owner and her husband are fantastic people with a fantastic story. Tim was so understanding and accommodating and it was a great time socially. I have allergy to dairy, egg, beans, and beef in addition to gluten. i state this very clearly always and have never had an issue at restaurants even chains. i always make it a point to order something that would never contain beans or beef to begin with so that it’s not too much of a hassle to make. Monse’s kitchen staff are NOT very diligent. my first time going my order came out wrong and there was also beans hidden in it. the second time i came, my order also came out wrong the first time and then the second time it came out with beef hidden in it. i am now paying the consequences of that as we speak. their kitchen is not very organized or separate so if you only have a gluten allergy, this is a great place but if you have anything else, i would err on the side of caution. i rarely take risks and i’m not sure if this once in a blue moon risk was worth it. food is good but not good enough to feel sick over. they do have a great selection of dishes though.
