Full Mexican kitchen + homemade ice cream • Schoolcraft, MI

Not just ice cream.
A full Mexican kitchen.

Quesabirria, street tacos, tortas and elote — plus the homemade helados and mangonadas we’re famous for. Everything made from scratch, every morning, by the family itself.

Yes, we’re a restaurant too

The kitchen people don’t know about

Most folks know us for the ice cream case. What they miss: the comal running all day — tacos al pastor, quesabirria with consomé, tamales in homemade masa, tortas the size of your forearm. One kitchen, one family, both cravings.

Why Monarca’s

A family shop, not a franchise

Matilde, Pedro and Leslie run the place themselves — the same hands that started selling ice cream out of coolers in 2019 make your mangonada today. Everything from salsa to paletas is homemade, and the recipes are the ones the family grew up with.
