I had heard that Monico's Taqueria had expanded and was a good place to eat.   I was pleasantly surprised at the new facilities in the Kinipopo Center which features both indoor and outdoor dining.   The restaurant does not have a liquor license, however, the Shell gas station next door provides a convenient source for such drinks.   The menu features over 30 entries and  I finally settled on the shrimp enchilladas while my husband went for the steak fajitas.   Both were very good and the only thing I had to ask for was more guacamole for my enchilladas.  Service could have been a bit faster, however, the place was completely full and my server was very pleasant. 

Monicos is open for lunch from 11:00am to 3:00pm and for dinner from 5:00pm to 9:00pm.  It is located in the heart of Wailua and is definitely the hot new eatery on Kauai's east side.
