This place just became my top brunch place. Honestly, I think when I looked it up it had 4.4 stars which is underrated. Our server was very nice and gave good suggestions on the menu. I went with the suggested Spaniard omelette and country potatoes and enjoyed it a lot. If anything it needed some more cheese. I drank a michelada, it was exactly how I like them. For dessert I ordered a maple bourbon eclair and it was fire! We did wait about 30 minutes and the place had a line outside, but I'm glad I waited. The burgers looked so good I'll be back to try lunch soon.

Great brunch spot. First time dining at Monica's. The food and portions did not disappoint! The burgers are huge and the sandwiches are packed with meat and toppings. Kids pancakes were made in the shape of Mickey and more than enough in terms of portion size.

Great spot for breakfast. There is usually a wait on the weekends, but service and food make it worth it.

The interior of monica's livermore is quite modern and intimate which i really appreciate.they also have a covered outside seating which is perfect for the warmer summer/fall days.the staff and vibes of the restaurant were friendly and lively which i really appreciate.the drink (bloody mary - ofc) and food (cali benedict) are my usual safe go-to options which both were yummy.i think if you're looking for a reliable and safe option then id say this is the perfect spot for you.tips:
- there's no private parking lot available but there are many street parking available nearby/closeby
- it's located on the corner so it's easy to spot and locate
- extensive menu that you can choose from for breakfast or lunch!

Looked very promising and had a long line. Waited about 45 minutes for lunch on a Sat. Great atmosphere and great service. The food was a little disappointing.

We got a scramble and a patty melt type sandwich. Also got a Matcha drink. The drink looked better than it tasted. The sandwich was overly salted which took away from the taste. The fries were also undercooked.

My best guess is they are known more for breakfast. This is what I would try I go back. I would also add, it was a bit pricey. That was a bit of a surprise.

This place is so good I don't want to write a good review, but they are amazing and deserve the credit. The food is amazing the employees are fast and very nice. This is our go to place for breakfast or brunch. Just know they get crowded, prepare to have a bit of a wait before being seated.

The service was poor and slow. This was my first and last visit. We brought our first time to Cali visitors, big mistake,

Very casual, no frills place. I had the rather pricey and delicious crab and shrimp omelet. Running over with crab, shrimp and cheese. With a quarter portion of avacado that I requested that they serve on the side and a tasty hollandaise sauce. It came with hash brown or home style potatoes. I chose the home style - crispy chunks of potatoes fried with bell pepper and onion. And lastly toast. Everything was served hot and it was all tasty. Excellent customer service. Our waitress was delightful and on it! It's a lil ride from Manteca, but I'll go back!

Great food, great atmosphere and bottomless mimosas? Went past weekend for the first time, had the huevos rancheros and they were fantastic. Highly recommended and very much worth the wait.

Pictured is the Breakfast Combo. This is scrambled egg, pancakes and bacon. The big surprise for me are the portions! Absolutely huge! Normally a combo like this is two eggs, two bacon and two small pancakes. This was at least two eggs (seems like more), four nicely cooked slices of bacon and four large pancakes! Happily, more butter and syrup were provided. The orange juice is fresh squeezed.

Overall, Monica’s is awesome! We were on a wait-list while the Livermore Hot Rod Car Show was on-going

Excellent food at Monica's! We went for breakfast on Sunday morning. Everyone had something they enjoyed and the French toast is incredible with large pieces of toast. I think the combo plate might be the winner but it's a lot of food.

The best breakfast ever mimosas are the best we come from San Jose every Sunday for breakfast.

Too bad the beginning of the end, starts when you're served old coffee in place of a cappuccino. I sent the cappuccino back and the
Barista/Bartender announced several times "I serve old coffee"' I"m glad he realized what he served and let everyone know. I wish I heard that before I ordered.
However, The service and food was awesome.

Love the food and service here
Always good and always friendly. It's a bit loud for my liking, but I keep going back.

Best French toast ever - get with the berries and whipped cream! Everything was so wonderful we went back for a second meal with the other half of our party! Will be back!

Breakfast portions are huge and flavorful. Try to get there early. The wait times can be up to an hour and once seated 20 minutes before our order was placed. Our server was great, and she apologized for the delays. Once we ordered, our food was delivered to the table within 15 minutes. Not bad for a crowded Saturday. We enjoyed hamburgers on sour dough, the big breakfast sandwich, and the corned beef with scrambled eggs.
