"In Cali visiting my brother and he says we gotta go to Monchis for the best ribs! RIBS… really! He was absolutely correct and not just about the ribs. Started out with chicken wings…yummy! Burgers, that char was amazing. Like being in the backyard waiting for the first burger off the grill. Paella!! Light, fluffy and flavorful. Our waiter Alejandro was so nice and attentive he treated us like he’d known us forever. The atmosphere? Think secret garden! I can’t wait to go back and work my way through the menu."

"I have been in Cali for a month now for medical. Traveling solo. After two weeks of not having a lot of success in finding my kind of resto, I found Monchis. What a beautiful experience. I found a cozy corner with pillows where I could relax and enjoy a truly comfort food lunch. The atmosphere is wonderful and boasts an ecletec music mix ranging from Colombian rock to the Brat Pack to 70s and 80s classics (even caught myself singing along to my embarassment). Talk about comfort food! Homemade shrimp springrolls that have a kick of a sauce. The chili con carne - all dressed - is a warm hug and comes with homemade tortilla chips.... but the ribs are exceptional. Melting off the bone, tender and juicy ideal to slather with an additive BBQ dipping sauce. This was the last resto I went to before surgery...and the first place I came back to when strong enough. Two lazy afternoons spent at Monchies. Being solo, dining can sometimes be uncomfortable - yet Alejandro made it such a lovely dining experience. Top service! I even ordered a dinner to go and he went above and beyond... The icing on the top was to meet the owner, Monchi, and to have such interesting conversations. I will definitely be coming back once more before I fly away - I hear the cheesecake is a must!"

"We loved this restaurant. The food was amazing and it's a lovely atmosphere in a lively area. We had the ribs that were seasoned perfectly and fell off the bone and the paella was also very nice! George the owner came over to our table and had a chat with us and was very charming (and speaks perfect english which was a bonus for us sadly not speaking any Spanish.) Totally recommend Monchis by Coky and it's reasonably priced!"

"Excellence in food and service, is the slogan of this place. I am a meat lover, and this place showed me that they take it as serious as I do. The raw term I ordered was perfect in my lomo (name of the dish). The service is diligent, they always check the tables constantly (without being invasive ). And in my case they gave me a mosquito spray without asking for it, they are very attentive to the customer's need. Thanks for a good experience again."

"Thursday June 15, 2023 Found myself back in the neighborhood of Monchis. Decided to go in and have some lunch. Ordered 3 Spring Rolls. They were fried. They were good. They were hot. The sauce was sweet and spicy. I enjoy spicy food. Then came the Seafood Paella and Ribs. I was blown away with the Paella. It was moist and flavorful. Looking forward to my next visit. The Ribs, of course, were just as good as the first time I had them. Meat falling of the bone with a slightly sweet BBQ sauce. Delicious! Had lunch January 6, 2023. The service was awesome. The food, Spare Ribs and baked potato, simply phenomenal. For dessert, Cheesecake, incredible. The owner, Coky, stopped by the table and introduced himself. Asked how was everything in which I replied FANTASTIC. I will return many more times to experience different menu items. I highly recommend everyone try Monchis by Coky"
