About This Place

Located in the vibrant heart of Carolina, Puerto Rico, Monaco Bar & Restaurant expertly blends the charm of a classic bar & grill with an eclectic menu that captures the rich flavors of both Caribbean and international cuisines. This inviting eatery offers a warm, relaxed atmosphere perfect for everything from casual get-togethers to intimate dinners, making every visit feel like a memorable culinary escape.

Monaco’s menu is a treasure trove for those seeking a flavorful adventure. Standout dishes like the succulent Langosta En Mantequilla Con Chips de Viandas Y Ensalada deliver a luxurious taste of lobster drenched in buttery goodness, balanced by crisp, subtly sweet chips made from local viandas and fresh salad. For those craving authentic Puerto Rican comfort food, the Rice and Beans and Fried Pork bring hearty, soulful flavors that soothe and satisfy. Seafood lovers rave about the Stuffed Shrimp and the uniquely delicious Fried Green Plantains Filled with Red Snapper, each bite bursting with ocean-fresh tastes complemented by expertly seasoned accompaniments.

Not to be missed are Monaco’s crafted cocktails. Their Margaritas, Mojitos, and the iconic Pina Colada are both refreshing and artfully balanced, perfect for pairing with any dish or simply enjoying on their own as you unwind in the cozy ambiance. The wine and beer selections round out a beverage menu designed to satisfy every preference.

Guests often highlight the impeccable quality and comforting familiarity of Monaco’s dishes. For instance, the macaroni and cheese has been compared to Chick-fil-A’s beloved version—creamy, piping hot, and indulgently cheesy. The grilled chicken breast, snapper, and hearty tostones showcase the kitchen’s skill in marrying texture and flavor seamlessly. Customers also appreciate the friendliness of the staff and the genuine effort to create a welcoming dining experience.

While the food shines brightly, some patrons have noted a few hiccups with service, such as unexpected substitutions or a lack of detailed guidance on wine choices. However, these moments are often overshadowed by the overall positive vibe and delightful meal quality that Monaco Bar & Restaurant consistently delivers.

Whether you’re craving a rich, savory dinner featuring classics like Chuleta Can Can or looking to indulge your sweet tooth with a heavenly tres leches cake, Monaco Bar & Restaurant offers an earnest, flavor-packed dining experience that invites you to slow down and savor every bite. It's a place where you won’t just eat—you’ll make tasty memories.

    If you come on a slow night don’t be discourage the food and service is A+! We had the snapper, grilled chicken breast, macaroni and cheese, tostones, and red beans and rice. Everything was excellent. The macaroni and cheese taste similar to Chick-fil-A Mac & cheese. It was delicious and hot.

    Relaxing atmosphere and insane food. I ordered the chimichurri steak and my boyfriend got the surf and turf which were both to die for. We ended the night with mouth watering tres leches! Would highly highly recommend this place.

    Food is really good for this area , great value and price for it. But service was a bit strange, we asked another round of wine and waitress brought another wine and didn’t say nothing. When we had understood that wine is different she told that they were out of previous wine so just change it… When we asked which wine do they have they didn’t show us wine menu - they just said that wine prices started from 80$ minimum but by the glass it costs 8$…Really confusing situation…

    Hotties was a good restaurant to go. It’s located in a nice area. This restaurant is nothing crazy but It is pretty good. Food was good but a bit pricey for what it was in my opinion. We got a Big Sampler as an appetizer and it was very good but it cost around $35. For mains we got a full fried fish and a filet fish both very good for a good price as well. For 3 people the bill came back for around $140-$190
