Taqueria Monarca
Taqueria Monarca is a food truck found on the 2400 block of Holmes street in Kansas City, Missouri weekdays at lunchtime. They serve tacos, burritos, tostadas and other Mexican food with your choice of meats including steak, beef, pork, chicken, chorizo, tripe, and tongue.
I have tied their tacos, which are very good, but I normally get their tostada, which is only $3 and is usually enough food for me. I highly recommend the asada tostada.

Caesar. Tell them I said I don’t feel like it. But since I like you, I’ll let you in on a secret: Calpurnia had a nightmare about me getting stabbed 33 times while I was in the Senate. So, I’m staying home to make her happy.
Decius Brutus. Wah-pish!
Decius Brutus makes a WHIPPING MOTION.
Caesar. Give me my robe, for I will go.

Quotable: John August
“Before you write your story, write the whole thing from the villain’s point of view, because the villain views himself as the hero in the story.”
