“We have been here SEVERAL times. You can’t go wrong with just about anything on their menu. I’ve tried their brunch chilaquiles (amazing- add some protein!), tacos, queso tacos (also amazing) their burritos. Their drinks are also amazing! One of my favs are their mojitos. I recently tried their blackberry mojito. It was delightful!Give this place a try! It’s family owned and their food also tastes so delicious and FRESH!“
“Excellent food and excellent service. I usually get a burrito or a bowl at Chipotle, so I figured I would try that. A very nice employee named Dantee (pronounced Dante) recommended the "machete" instead. No joke, one of the best Latin cuisines I've ever eaten. I've never had one before, but I can say in earnest that it has become my new regular. The corn tortilla was fried and reminded me of being at the state fair. You build the rest of it out like you would a burrito at Chipotle, but the quality of the ingredients is far superior. The chicken was hot and juicy, the veggies and cheese were fresh, and the pico de gallo was *chefs kiss.* The ambiance was friendly and quiet. Great for talking with friends or just enjoying a nice lunch by yourself. I normally only go to Chipotle or Qdoba, but Vaqueros has moved up to my number 1 spot. I would and will drive across town - passing at least 1 Chipotle - to eat here moving forward. 11/10 strongly recommended.“
“Two words... STRAWBERRY HORCHATA! And in multiple sizes omg so good. The sweet corn really hits the spot as well. So far everything I've tried is authentic and incredible! Super friendly service and was made and delivered within 30 minutes of placing the order. This will be my new weekly “
“Wow wow wow!!!!! Best experience and best food you’ll ever find! I was in town visiting a family member and we decided on having tacos for dinner. Couldn’t recommend this place more and I will be back every time I come to visit Madison!! Phenomenal!!“
“Stopped back in after a few years - still as good as ever! Great customer service, delicious food, super reasonable pricing. Will be back much sooner this time.Vegetarian options: Server was willing to customize a veg taco for me - grilled veggies and beans. So good.“
“The food we ordered was absolutely phenomenal. The street corn is AMAZING. We ordered take out and unfortunately some beans and an extra side of street corn were missed, but that may have partially been my partners fault since they read off everything and he didn’t catch it. Prices are good for portion sizes as well.“
“I really like the food at this place but today, March 14, we came to eat and they served usEduardo, a super friendly man, Taqueria Guadalajara would love to have more workers. As the. We liked it as much as we did. I hope the owners of this place see this, congratulations for still having a good worker like Don Eduardo.“
“This burrito has to be one of the best burritos I've ever had for the price. You can get as many toppings as you want and they didn't charge me any extra. With how much they put in there it barely fit in the wrapping. It also tasted super good and the blend of tastes was amazing. The service was also amazing. They were super kind and helpful.“
“Great little place, taco Tuesday $1.99 each and Thursdays $1.99 each TamalesVery good price.. Hot and fresh coming out..Delicious sauceCame with friends that was Hype about the food.Ordered food was out in 5 minsDefine, be back... Define, be back“
“Absolutely love this restaurant. Been 4 times, and tried something new each time (except street corn, we always get the street corn). It’s not your common Mexican, much more authentic. Do yourself a favor and give it a try, the service and friendliness of the staff is also outstanding. Already one of my go-to places!Kid-friendliness: They understand the value of friendly service, and they try hard to do it well. Bravo.“
“Stopped by at the end of happy hour to check out dinner and drinks. Sat by the window and had a view of King St festivities and the capital. Had the shrimp fajitas and birra tacos. The fajitas were a good portion size and flavorful. The tacos were good as well. Would recommend for Mexican food in downtown Madison.“
“First time dining and I would definitely come back. We had Beef Chimichanga (which was big!) and the Cajun Hash. Both were great and flavorful. I am happy with my decision to stop in!-Warm and cozy atmosphere,-Our waitress Samantha was great! Hostess too!-Plenty of TV optionsKid-friendliness: Seen small children, doesn't seem like it's a overstimulating atmosphere which makes it kids friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Disabled parking and ramp right by the door.“
“I do a lot of traveling. I live in Texas. And Mexican food is my favorite. I have had great meals from all over the USA but I have to say that Senor Machetes is one of the best meals that I have ever had. I got the group beef 22 inch Machete. With fresh sour cream, fresh pickled onions, Street corn and amazing homemade tortilla. The owner talked with us and gave a brief history story behind the 5 years he has been here. I highly recommend this place if you are anywhere near Madison Wisconsin.“
“Food was AMAZING! I should have taken pictures to post here because it looked great too. I loved the music and atmosphere and the speedy service. We got the fajitas and quesadilla. Just great stuff. I think anyone that's given bad reviews is just a hard to please person “
“We booked the El Grito Taqueria taco truck for our wedding and they were a huge hit! They were super easy to work with—very responsive and helpful, and reasonable pricing for the value they bring. Our guests loved the tacos at the end of the night! We definitely recommend them for your next event.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“
“La Cantina is hands down, my favorite Mexican restaurant!! The food and drinks are all amazing, staff is professional and friendly, and the prices are super reasonable. I definitely recommend giving La Cantina a try to anyone who hasn't been there yet. You won't be disappointed!“
“Fantastic food, great people. I believe it was the owner who served me, he walked me through everything for my chimichanga and was very kind and made me delicious food. Easy to miss place, but highly recommend, they doordash as well if you're in range.“
“We liked their baked items and it was at such an affordable rate. The place has a nice vibe and the owner was very kind and warm to us. This place caters to the blue-colored hard working Hispanic folks in town and I can see how their rough and battered looks can be intimidating to some people. For a place with such good food menu there wasn't a lot of seating inside. Because of these reasons I gave it 4 stars for the atmosphere. It also has a big attached grocery store with everything from fresh produce, meat and other food items. Hispanic friends in town can comment about the grocery but we liked the taking-back-to-roots vibe of the place. I almost forgot to mention that they also serve coffee although we didn't try it.“
“The restaurant looks really nice to eat at. I had an online pick up order. Great looking atmosphere and decorated nicely. The gentleman that got my order was really friendly.I had the Burritos De La Roqueta. The carnitas were overpowered by the green peppers and onions - there were a lot and I pulled most of them to the side. The creamy Verde sauce was amazing!The queso dip was really good but the salsa was kinda thin - but still with good flavor.I would definitely order again for takeout but I would order something different next time.If on this side of town, I'll stop in with my wife and try dinner in house.“
“We enjoyed several taco dinner plates for our 5. Carnitas were especially good. Absolutely nothing disappointing. I had Steak A La Brasa and was very happy with my selection. Pretty stuffed. Nap afterwards....will go again...nap to be determined.Kudos to my son for taking our family there for a post football late late lunch.Parking: We went in the afternoon after a game and found plenty of street parking. Possibly somewhat limited depending on day but available on an first come serve basis. Far-ish long walk if you choose from from Randall but very good selection and seating. Closer to central campus East of Double Tree.“
“The food is good, the server was very nice. The restaurant is a little run down, but those are the best ones and more authentic. There were four of us having lunch there.Vegetarian options: I had a vegetarian burrito, very good. Chips and salsa were great as well.“
“Habaneros is easily my favorite restaurant in Madison. The food is always hot, fresh, and served quickly by their friendly staff. Do not skip the spicy pickled onions; they elevate the dish to a level that deserves more stars than google will allow me to give.“
“Don Maguey checked all the boxes before I ate. Someone answered the phone. ✔️ They answered All the questions and guided me to what I was looking for. ✔️. I didn't have to sign in, go to an app or pay ahead. ✔️. They said ready in 10 minutes ✔️. Food ready when I got there. ✔️.Carne asada fries Delish nachos yum. Chimichanga is so satisfying.I'll be back.“
“ok so i went in and this place is legit got some meats and it was so awesome. went home and had a burrito night 4 dinner lol . ooo also there is like a restaurant in the back. Brooooo it was suppper good. had to get something for lunch well i was there :D i forgot what burrito i got but it was huge and yoo i will be back!!!!Parking: well there is parking but not always close to the shops so you might have to walk 50ft or more lol.“
“I finally had a chance to check out Patricia's Market and was so glad I did. I'm glad this set of shops and restaurants continues to have new additions. Gotta love the easy parking situation with the lot with plenty of space.Inside there is the store with plenty of Mexican ingredients and products and then there is the restaurant portion with a decent size menu. I chose the taco dinner which was plenty of food for me to eat plus leftovers. The tacos were very tasty and the rice and beans were well made. There are lots of beverage options like agua de coco and more. I'll be back!“
“The wait staff is great, the food always hits the spot when craving Mexican food. The chips and salsa are one of my favorite things about Laredo's.There's a waitress there that always remembers my order and double checks to make sure I won't be ordering something different ?.“
“This is such a great spot in Madison and I think they have the best Mexican food in the city. It's perfect for lunch and very fastI really enjoy their quesadillas and tacos.The service is very friendly and quick.It has a hole in the wall vibe but it's very clean and nice.“
“This is a nice place to get a quick bite to eat. It's really small inside so there's not a whole lot of sitting. There's also no parking lot. I would recommend grabbing food to go or ordering it online. Not bad for a chain restaurant.“
“Our family affectionately calls Palenque "Chips and Salsa" since they have the absolute best. Our 10 year-old always needs his own dish of salsa, it's that good. The grown ups have our go-tos of molcajete and fajitas fundida. We happily drive from the west side of Madison to enjoy their food.“
