La Unica is a local gem in Monroe, I never would have knew it existed if it wasn't from word of mouth. Half a mile from US 74, it's in an unassuming building in an unassuming neighborhood. But the food is phenomenal. They're always crowded every time I come, and the service is always average, never spectacular. Their parking lot has an abundance of potholes. Despite my qualms, their food is legendary. I like that they serve you several salsas with varying degrees of heat and queso as soon as you sit down. I like that they have authentic Mexican dishes, just try one of their tacos de lengua and you'll know what I mean. Everything I've had at La Unica has been flavorful and fresh. I've tried many things on their menu but I always seem to go back to their fajitas and pollo con crema. I don't really need to elaborate anymore, the fact is that in my opinion, La Unica is the best Mexican restaurant I've been to. If you're anywhere in the Union County area, it's well worth the trip.
