“Our waitress seemed like she was still learning but she did well! The food was great! It came hot and as advertised on their menu. The blender for margaritas is loud to the point we had a hard time with our parties conversation, otherwise would have been 5*.“

“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.“

From appetizers to desserts, every bite was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to quality ingredients. The drink selection was impressive, catering to various preferences within our group. Cocktails were expertly crafted. The combination of excellent service, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere made it a truly memorable dining experience for everyone in our group.

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

“LaBamba tacos are my absolute favorite restaurant tacos, local or otherwise. Been eating them there for decades. My favorite is a bean/avocado taco. Appreciate that they grill the tortillas before making tacos, rather than serve without heating/ finishing. It makes a difference. Super kind and thoughtful cooking and preparation from one who’s been preparing their food for decades! Fresh and delicious.“

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

“Qdoba is always a great choice when you’re looking for fresh, flavorful, and satisfying food. The ingredients taste fresh, the portions are generous, and there are plenty of options to customize your meal. The staff is usually friendly and helpful, and the overall experience is quick and convenient. I especially enjoy the variety of fresh toppings and the bold flavors. Definitely a great place for a casual meal, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and customizable dining experience“

“I went here for breakfast because I enjoy lunch items occasionally in the morning. (They serve breakfast and lunch!)
The food was cooked perfectly. Everything was correct and hot. Service was easy and friendly and on time. I went here twice in a row and considering going tomorrow! People make the place. And this location is definitely ready to serve customers!
Leaving a good review for those who make your money spent worth your while.“

“I Have worked at the hospital for over 10 years and visit this restaurant regularly. In recent weeks, we have noticed a change in the staff; the people working there now are very friendly, and the restaurant looks very clean. It is a very positive change, and we have decided to keep coming back; we like the new staff and feel very comfortable with them.“

“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!“

“Great spot for coffee — mine was very good and clearly made with care. The bakery items were okay, but not as fresh as I expected. The space itself is very clean, filled with natural light, and the shaded outdoor seating makes it an easy place to relax. Overall, a pleasant stop with excellent coffee.“

“My family and I go here on occasion on Sundays, and the service has always been good, the employees and manager have always been very nice and polite. Food has always been good each time. The atmosphere has always been at a comfortable level for noise.“

“I absolutely live taco bell. I usually get their chalupas, and they are amazing. Never have I had such a good meal from a fast food place, and don't even get me started on their baja blast soda. It used to be that you could only get it at taco bell, but the feeling of getting one from there will never leave me. This place is one of the best places to have a quick meal, and is usually my go to place for tacos.“

“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“

“Food and Service were great!“
