Best taco I’ve had in Madison! It was made from ONE tortilla that was fried to enhance flavor, unlike many restaurants that use double corn tortillas that taste raw. The brisket chimichanga was excellent and so large it could serve two people; in comparison, the side order of beans was small but tasty. The salsa was somewhat bland like tomato sauce but there was so much flavor in the food I didn’t really mind.

I love this place, and their current online ordering system is a huge improvement. It removed all the confusion the old system had. Arod’s is the only place we go for tacos because they’re consistently excellent (get the birria!) and we’ve had so many bad ones elsewhere. They’re always fast too.

Wowwee this food is good! 5 stars on taste and quality alone! I will say the front desk service left some to be desired and the atmosphere was a bit drab, but those things can be remedied by some lively music and lots of business!

Really great place!

It was delicious!

Ordered a couple grilled burritos and these were possibly the most flavorful burritos I have ever had. The ground beef was delicious and the chicken was moist and juicy. Good salsa as well and grilled with a crispy tortilla 🤤

The owner seems like a great guy. Already looking forward to my next meal. Thanks Arod!
