This place is the go to for all things Birria and they do it right! Today I had the Birria ramen and it did NOT disappoint! So incredibly flavorful. Tons of noodles. Lots of meat. And delicious broth!!! The amount they give you is ridiculous. You will NOT leave hungry! Best Mexican around! Try it! You will NOT be disappointed!!!!!!!

My family's first time at Cocina Madre today, Father's day. I arrived late, they were already closed but took my order anyway. The service was fast and friendly, we loved the food and we will be back! Thanks Frank D'Amore

This is another great chill spot for date night even an afternoon tryst, or just kicking it with friends. Its a well decorated space with a wonderful staff that greet you with good food and a smile. The Quesabirria tacos are my personal favorite, no one does it better

Cocina Madre is hands down one of the best hidden gems in Yorkville. We eat here often and are always blown away by the quality and flavor of their food. It’s authentic, fresh, and clearly made with love — exactly what you'd hope for in a family-owned restaurant. You never feel rushed or overlooked — they go above and beyond every time, and they’re always generous with portions and kindness. You can tell they care about their customers and their food.
We recently had them cater our daughter’s 9th birthday party, and it was INCREDIBLE — people could not stop raving about it. Friends and family kept asking where the food came from and said they had to start going there. Everything was a hit, and it made our celebration that much more special. They were so easy to work with and made the whole experience stress-free.
If you haven’t tried Cocina Madre yet, go! Whether you’re dining in or catering an event, you won’t be disappointed. We’re so lucky to have them in our neighborhood!

Thought I’d give this place a second try. First time the burrito wasn’t very good. (Can’t find good Mexican food outside of Chicago) Second time, ordered pickup on uber eats. Went at the pick up time. When I arrived I looked at my app and it said the restaurant canceled the order, this is after “preparing” for some time. Thanks for wasting my time. Won’t give my business again

Has the burrito Suiza and it was fantastic! I ate it before I could take a pic. Great food and service.
Small restaurant Birria tacos were a 5 AWESOME everything else very good, flautas, tamales and guac all good. 1 server for 5 tables, carry out and busboy. This kid was moving!

Ordered take out and the person I spoke with was kind and helpful. We tried Birria Tacos, Birria Ramen, Birria Egg rolls, beef tacos and a burrito - 5 people and we had more than enough food. Everything was delicious!! They did a nice job packing it up and added salsas and a chipotle dip for the egg rolls - the birria consume is so good! That ramen birria was way better than we anticipated!

I thought i would try this place again after a year. I was sadly mistaken again. I ordered the chilli releno and the cheese inside was a nasty cheap pasty queso junk with no flavor ...completely disgusting. Rice was overcooked ...and they forgot the tortias. The price on the menu was different than the actual charge. They charged me like 5 dollars more because they are to lazy to update things. Pork gordita was terrible the pork smelled like an old barn. Churros were super small flavorless and hard as concrete. DO NOT GET ANYTHING HERE!!! alot of people like this crap food ...so its perfect for yorkville!!!
