Hands down the BEST birria in Madison!

A-Rod’s Tex-Mex is an absolute gem for anyone looking for authentic Mexican food in Madison, WI. I came here for the birria tacos and they were out of this world—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Easily the best birria I’ve had in the entire Madison area.

The menu has a perfect mix of Tex-Mex favorites and unique fried chicken options. Everything is fresh, made with care, and packed with...

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.
