THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Monica's Aca y Alla Restaurant Review:
The northern outpost of the eternally hip Deep Ellum restaurant and nightspot, this Monica's is just as fun and fabulous as the original. Crimson-red walls and gold banquettes are the backdrop for a high-energy crowd knocking back tasty margaritas and Monica's twist on Tex-Mex and nuevo Mexican. For starters, try the plump pumpkin-and-chili-filled ravioli laced with pesto cream; and some succulent fish tacos crammed with red snapper and topped with a piquant chipotle sauce. Among the main courses, we like the Pink Enchiladas, hefty spinach enchiladas topped with slices of fresh salmon and a creamy chipotle salmon sauce; and the Ciudad Flautas, delicately fried tortilla flutes filled with spicy chicken and served with excellent black beans. Do not leave without trying at least one margarita; we like the house frozen version, but many folks seem to favor those flavored with watermelon or green apple.
