Cafe Mundial

Took my parents for Mother's Day for lunch. Didn't need a reservation. Lunch prices are cheaper than dinner prices. The food was amazing. My dad is picky and he loved. Appetizer we had the calamari-great.I ordered the shrimp pesto pizza, which had huge shrimp. My mom ordered a tomato base pasta with sausage-really good. My dad had the fish special-great. Everything was delicious. Great atmosphere. Nice decor. Good service.

Love this restaurant. The atmosphere is very romantic. I had the paella and it was really tasty. I think this is one of my favorite restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley.

It is a pleasant Old Town Monrovia restaurant with a small but good quality menu. It is also very charming, and works perfectly for romantic occasions. I've tried pretty much everything on their sea food menu, and it was a hit (rather than a miss) every time. Their pasta dishes are delicious as well. Food always comes hot, I like that.

They do seem to have regulars there, and servers certainly give them a lot of attention - so if you want better service, become a regular : ) Last time we went there for Valentine's day and the service was below average. I understand that they were full and things were hectic, but still, please do not try to ruin my date with your attitude, frantic waitress lady.

Overall, it is usually a very pleasant experience and a nice meal.
