Portions were large, and food was tasty. I had chimichanga. My wife had chicken quesadilla. Service was attentive and very pleasant. Prices were right for what was offered. We will go back.Parking: There are plenty of spots right out front with options out back.Wheelchair accessibility: Hadicp spots near the door and no steps to get in.

A staple for delicious Mexican food in Madison for 20+ years. Tons of options, lots of veggie based meals on the menu. Large portions.Vegetarian options: Most dishes can be made with veggies, mushrooms or meat alternatives. I imagine the beans are made with lard (as they authentically are), so not an option. There is cheese in many dishes, so few vegan options.

I always order my caldos from here. The menudo is so good and so is the pazole. My dad use to bring me here as a kid all the time. He would always get the taste of Mexico. The place is well managed. Small but cozy and the owners are always very nice. I would definitely recommend and I will definitely go back! Thanks El Pastor.

I was looking for Mexican and decided to try El Pastor. My favorite thing to order is Al pastor tacos so I got some. They don't marinate the pork in pineapple juice and cook it on a vertical spit like it is traditionally done (due to a health department inspection stating that was against guidelines). She offered they could cook the pork on the flat top with pineapple if I wanted them to. The final product was very tasty. The beans were delicious and not like typical "refried beans" served at most restaurants. There were whole beans and they had just the right amount of cumin to bring the authenticity! The rice was tasty and a nice accompaniment to the beans. The amount of food for the price was exceptional. My server was very pleasant and service was excellent! All in all, an enjoyable experience during my time in Madison.

I ordered a 3 taco dinner with chicken steak and pork . the food has absolutely no seasoning to it what so ever I paid $15 for a meal and it was nasty. I just wasted my money as you can see I took one bite of each taco and was not happy . El pastor y’all fell

Great place to grab lunch to go or eat there to get a break from the office. Good lunch specials for $10, good portion and great quality.
Decent food but bad customer service.
