Went to tractor supply and saw this food truck. It was pouring rain and it was cold but we saw that they were still open. Well what the heck we decided to check it out and we spent almost $70 to try stuff on the menu. I have to say the owners were very nice and very helpful. The food was amazing!! Will definitely come back and try more:

The best Mexican food in Lansing and surrounding areas. I promise you will not find anything better! The food is so fresh, so flavorful, so delicious Every single thing on the menu is delicious and unique! The owners Mario and Ana are the nicest people too! It’s a perfect place to visit on your lunch break because they’ll have your food ready so fast! I recommend trying everything on the menu.

Made it out to Taqueria Monarca food truck in Old Town. The owners, Mario and Ana, are super friendly and helpful. I admitted that I’ve never had their food before, so they walked me through their menu and their daily specials. Got the Wednesday Burrito Special (Steak) and their new Taco Alebrije (a nice open faced entree with choice of protein, beans, diced onions and tomato, cilantro, a mixture of their Monarda sauce and their jalapeno crema, and sliced avocado on a flour tortilla). They threw in a free Steak Mulita.
The steak is so tender. Plus, I love the sauce mixture and ALL of the items on the Alebrije. Both the Mulita and the Taco Alebrije filled me up that I’m having the huge steak burrito later. Definitely good peoples with good food. And both are super passionate about their food and their customers.

This place is so good and the portions are pretty good, too. Mario and Ana are super friendly and kick out some absolutely great food in a matter of minutes. They’re SO fast and the food is awesome. Makes it the perfect lunch spot. No huge wait and 1000 times better than some bs fast food u would get in the same time. I go there twice a week and don’t plan to stop anytime soon.

Pretty good food & the owners are great people. Only criticism I’d give is that they charge $1 for extra sauce & it’s barely filled halfway

Taqueria Monarca is awesome! The City of East Lansing had their food truck provide lunch for their annual staff picnic, which was my first time trying it- I had the steak tacos with corn tortillas and spicy sauce. They were delicious and comparable to the ones I’ve had in SoCal near the Mexican border. Best tacos in the Midwest IMO! The tortillas were soft, everything tasted fresh, and the balance of flavor with the meat, onions, cilantro, and spicy but not too spicy sauce was perfect. I also loved the selection of Jarritos they had to drink and the two staff working were very kind and sweet. This is a food truck worth hunting down!

One of the best Mexican establishments in Lansing with the friendliest staff and amazing prices. Take advantage of their deals now and enjoy their great food and service at a bargain. They will definitely expand one day and inevitably have to raise their prices to what they actually deserve.
Recommended dishes: Mexican Hibachi ($13 and worth every penny; $1 for tortillas on the side), Mexican rice (my favorite in town and perfect with every dish; I always ask for extra )

Great favors. Excellent portions. Very nice man taking your order and making your food in front of you. Great spicy sauce; I couldn’t get enough. Really can’t ask for more.
Got the carne asada burrito and nachos. Will be back for tacos.
Highly recommend and I will definitely be returning.
