My husband and I ordered delivery from this restaurant last night. Ordering through their website was really easy, and DoorDash handled the delivery, which was convenient.
We ordered one carne asada taco, one duck carnitas taco, one fried fish taco, two ahi tuna tostadas, and an order of chips and guacamole.
Everything was delicious except for the carne asada taco. The way they prepare the meat just wasn’t giving carne asada. It tasted more like carne sancochada...read full review

Great date night spot! It was pretty hot inside but manageable (went during a heat wave). My favorite was the fried chicken tacos, 10/10 🤗🔥
Tu Madre in Santa Monica never misses! The vibes are immaculate — cute patio, great music, and the staff is so friendly. The perfect drinks, the crispy shrimp tacos were so fresh and flavorful, and those red velvet churros?? Dangerously good. Everything came out fast and the portions are generous for the price. Already planning my next visit

Tu Madre is a popular spot in SM known for its delicious sweet and sour tacos and vegan kbbq bowl. The menu offers a variety of options, including vegetarian and vegan choices like interesting tacos such as banh mi and fried squash blossoms. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing welcoming service, and the place features a fun margarita flight to enjoy. Customers appreciate the flavorful brisket breakfast burrito and the great drinks, including reasonably priced happy hour beers and cocktails from 3-6pm Monday through Friday. The restaurant has an inviting atmosphere that is lively yet comfortable, with lounge-y music at just the right volume so guests can talk easily. The great variety of tacos, especially the truffle guacamole, is highly praised. The carne asada bowl is packed with flavor and can be customized to spice preference, making each meal enjoyable. Families and large groups find the service accommodating and smooth, with quick seating and attentive staff. While some restroom cleanliness issues have been noted, overall the dining experience remains highly recommended, especially for street tacos, flavorful brisket, and tasty quesadillas served with guac, pico de gallo, and sour cream.
