We had an amazing experience at El Monumento. Went there to celebrate my husband’s birthday on Saturday night. Initially told the wait would be 45-50 minutes, we decided to check out the bar and outdoor area – has a fun photo shoot spots! To our delight, we received a message that our table was ready much sooner while we were still enjoying our drinks! Our server was incredibly attentive, making sure we had everything we needed with a warm smile. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The quick service, fantastic atmosphere, and outstanding cuisine made this a memorable visit. Highly recommend!

What a fabulous restaurant!
Every little architectural detail has been thought of so this building will really impress you. Some of the coolest things are the clerestory lighting and another really cool thing is the overhang on the back deck has light coming down from above also. I think the architecture is the coolest part of the experience but the food is amazing too. It is basically upper end Mexican food and the service is really good. Everything on the menu is cooked to perfection and you won’t be disappointed!

Very nice building, landscape, and views off of the deck. The drinks were very flavorful and had many neat options of different types. Cucumber/jalapeno was good. Loved the chips and most of the different salsa’s. The steak was cooked perfect, the chicken tacos were tasty. Everything was good. However, almost every dish was missing something and was blah on the Texmex season side. It seems odd that we salted everything. But were putting salsas or cream on food to give it “something more”. Our waitress was great with suggesting gluten and dairy free items for my wife. We would come back to try more items.

Great place to eat with family and friends. El Monumento backs up to Blue Hole Park so it’s a great place to sit out on the back patio and enjoy the view. They recently paved their parking lot which is a huge improvement. The layout of the building adds a lot of character. With a stunning interior, the staff make sure your experience is great. Awesome Mexican martinis, queso and pretty much everything on the menu will bring you back for more. I chose the burger and it was so good. They do allow reservations which would be the best plan to make sure you can get a seat.

El Monumento is a beautiful restaurant that serves good Mexican food. They have seating inside and outside in a courtyard or on a patio. This place looks incredible. The decor and layout is authentic and beautiful and the design aesthetically looks amazing. Definitely top notch! The food is good and we had the barbacoa street tacos, tortilla soup and the kids had the quesadilla and an enchilada. The barbacoa tacos were way too greasy and were a different type of barbacoa from what I’m used to. The tortilla soup was good, but less soupy and very hearty. The margarita was ok, but could remove or lighten the syrup. The place was nice and clean and they clearly take care in its appearance which is great. The staff was also excellent. Ashley was our server and she was very friendly, attentive and accommodating. Overall the appearance and experience of this restaurant screams high end food, but the food fell short. I would totally recommend this place for someone to visit. It’s beautiful and inviting!

4 stars because the food was good but not the best I’ve ever had. I do absolutely LOVE the atmosphere and the restaurant itself. They have a couple spots to sit outside and also an indoor section. There’s also a separate bar section as well. It overlooks a river and you can pop down and go for a walk if you want after you eat! Overall pretty good… would love to use this spot as a venue for something!

We have passed this beautiful establishment multiple times, however had never been able to make it in due to their hours. We finally got the chance, and strolled through on a day out on the town. The environment and service were amazing. It’s a beautiful location with lots of photo ops, and chances to interact with nature on a great day. Being from San Antonio, I was looking for more of a casual menu and the one they have is slightly upscale. We settled with drinks and the homemade salsas which we tasty. The frozen margarita wasn’t the best. I would recommend getting it on the rocks because the way it’s blended is super watered down and icy. If you’re looking for Mexican food with a twist, you’re looking for the right spot.

Great service from our waiter during Sunday brunch. Salsas very good esp the tomatillo. Black bean dip good but needed salt. Nice touch in guacamole with fresh fruit and pepitas. Chips warm and crunchy. Food was fresh and presented well but needed salt. Prices too high, though, compared to other restaurants.

This is the crown jewel of Georgetown. Their ambience and decor is simple and perfect. If you are lucky you can eat with a riverside view. Their menu is small but well crafted. Everything tasted amazing starting with tortilla chips. They are amazing. We ordered Chicken fajitas and tres leches cake.
El Monumento is the best!!!

The patio is nice but the food was mediocre. The best items were the chips and salsa and tortilla soup. This is one of those Mexican restaurants where the chips and salsa isn’t complimentary and sides on most things are a la carte. Beans- no refried option. Had to ask for more chips since most of the basket was crumbs. The parking lot isn’t paved which made a mess of my shoes and car since it just rained.
