“California burrito was great. Service was great also. Pricing is good. Went there close to closing time and it seemed fine for them. A pot of places seem grumpy when you show up close to closing time. These guys didn't. Definitely going again! ( to try the fish tacos! 🌮)“

“I had the lunch enchiladas and they were the best I’ve had in a while! True authentic Mexican flavor and style!“

“I really like Lupes. The carnitas tacos are great, so is the Mexican corn.“

“Best hidden gem in town. We ordered the nachos & a burrito thinking we each needed our own dish and we were wrong! The nachos are large enough for two people and one could argue the same for the burrito. There was little to no fat in the Birria & it was so delicious & flavorful. The burrito had little to no gristle which was was amazing!! 10/10 will be back.“

“El Grito stopped by my clinic to bring delicious tacos and cheer to our healthcare workers during this crazy time. The tacos we had were smaller, so you didn’t feel guilty eating all of them real quick. The flavor was awesome too! I highly recommend adding the mango habanero sauce, if you like that extra kick! I wish they were here all the time!“

“Great authentic Mexican food. I had the steak fajitas burrito. It was delicious and huge. I also had a couple margaritas and they were excellent. We had a family of four, all adult meals, and some margaritas and price was better than expected for the size and quality of the meals and drinks.“

“I always like the tacos with chicken. However on Sunday my tacos had pieces of skin in the shredded chicken. So now I don't feel like eating there for awhile. Now I have spoken up about it Sally“

“Got an order of 4 tacos for takeout. The young man working the counter was very nice. It was 5pm and I was the only one there. The presentation of the tacos in the Styrofoam container when I got home was nice (pictured) with the two lime chunks. Limes were a bit dry, and I wish they'd do one chunk per taco. Tacos themselves were great. I got tinga, chorizo, pastor, and one other. Shared bits of each meat with my 7 month old son, the tinga was his favorite.“

“Down home cooking, tasty menu, student prices.“

“picked up food togo. tacos and burritos were great. don’t know about a hotdog on a cubano sandwich though. the staff was very nice. the variety in the market was quite nice. i will definitely return to try other choices on the menu and from the market.“

“First time here, so so good! Highly recommended. Tried the glorias margarita and the enchiladas mexicanas. Definitely coming back when im in madison again.“

“I gotta say, coming originally from Austin, TX and living in Madison for three years, I haven't found a lot of good Mexican food up here other than QDoba. Other places just either try too hard or not hard enough, and they don't give me that soulful feeling of eating a good Mexican/Tex-Mex plate back down south. But this place knows what they're doing. After I ate Fajitas at La Bamba, a little bit of that feeling of home came straight back to me. It was a welcome relief after trying other places. They season their food very well (could do better on chips and salsa), but overall this is by far the best Tex Mex place I've been to in Madison. I don't just tolerate eating this food, I enjoy eating this food and wanting to come back!“

“Favorite local Mexican restaurant. Haven’t been disappointed since new owners took over.“

“Qdoba is a good chain and this is a good Qdoba. Convenient location and nice staff. I appreciate them putting up with the many times I ordered a burrito with so many ingredients it was difficult to wrap. Any restaurant where your order is limited by physics, not your wallet, is doing something right.“

“My first time at a Qdoba, and I was greeted politely by the first employee who was busy. Then, the other young man behind the counter was extremely helpful, polite, friendly and patient with me. The food was insanely good - I eat fast food literally once or twice a year and I am sold on Qdoba! Both because of the excellent service and the delicious food!“

“We were staying at the VA hospital today after flying in from Denver. I walked there, lots of construction. The delivery process seemed too complicated. The order online function wasn't working. The facility was clean. Very few customers at about 6 PM. The food looked fresh and a good variety. The gentleman who prepared our meals was polite and attentive. The guacamole was excellent. We ordered 3 chicken street tacos and a chicken salad bowl.Definitely recommend“

“Juicy grilled steak, roasted corn, black beans, sautéed peppers, shredded cheese, cotija, and a double scoop of guac—loaded up Baja-style. 10/10 flavor explosion in every bite 🌯🔥 (And yes, someone’s hoping I drop it 😅🐶)“

“I've catered out of this location many times and they don't disappoint. This time, even though I'm a dope and entered the order for the wrong date, they still accommodated me with nothing but smiles and kindness! Cant forget to mention the chips are the best on this planet! Thanks Qdoba on Mineral pt road!“

“Love coming to this TJ’s. The service here is outstanding. Really made my day. The food is hot and fresh. The gentleman that took my order at the counter was smiling and friendly. Helped me with my free rewards when the app wasn’t working today.“

“Nice new addition to this area of town. It’s a decent sized coffee shop with several seating areas. Nice menu with both ready made foods and simple options to order. Coffee and matcha options are fairly decent. They also have a decent tea selection. Pleasant and clean. They have outdoor seating areas, which will be fantastic for the warmer months. Parking in this area is not easy, you might find street parking. They do have roasted beans and other merch to purchase. Take a break - make it a fika time - enjoy the coffee and connecting with friends!“

“Pan & Pan Bakery is an amazing Mexican bakery! Their cakes and desserts are always fresh, delicious, and beautifully made. The staff are super friendly, and the place has such a warm vibe. Highly recommend for anyone who loves great pastries or needs a cake for a celebration“

“I had not been to a Taco Bell for many years and my granddaughter requested we stop after dance class. I was pleasantly surprised with the exceptional service . The gentleman at the counter could have not been nicer . My granddaughter ordered her favorite, 1 cheese wrap and 2 soft shell tacos .
Having not been there for a while I had no idea what I should try . I chose the Nacho Grande . I
The Nachos were as good as any restaurant I had been to . It really hit the spot . Definitely a Great Value .“
