“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.

I wish they were here all the time!“

“We recently gathered for my mother’s 93rd birthday, I could not have been more impressed with the experience. From start to finish, everything was seamless and delightful. The restaurant was perfect for our group. The spacious seating arrangement accommodated everyone comfortably without feeling cramped. The decor was elegant yet welcoming, setting the tone for a memorable day. The service was exceptional. Despite our large group, the staff were attentive and efficient. They managed our orders flawlessly and ensured everyone's needs were met promptly. The food was outstanding. 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. I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.“

“I have been here twice and Taco Madre has consistently quality service and food, and is really accommodating to vegetarian and vegan folks (just ask), which I don’t always find at Mexican restaurants. I had the bean enchiladas de mole today which I could eat again and again. Try the agua de jamaica! The Atwood neighborhood has been needing something like this, I’m so glad Taco Madre is around!“

“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“

“Tried this spot for the first time today—so good! Every dish our fam ordered was packed with flavor, super affordable, and the service was awesome. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

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

“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 😅🐶)“

“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.“

“Great food, speedy service“

“Always wonderful food and fast service.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Overall, an amazing experience!

First of all, Syl's vibe was absolutely wonderful. Syl was incredibly patient, friendly, and helpful with their recommendations, which made the visit even better. I ordered the coconut cold brew and loved it—it was delicious and refreshing.

When it came to breakfast, I told Syl to surprise me, and I couldn't have been happier with the choice. The bacon, egg, and goat cheese breakfast sandwich was fantastic and exactly what I didn't know I was craving.

The overall atmosphere of the place is great—very chill, clean, and welcoming. It's the kind of spot where you can relax and enjoy your food and coffee without feeling rushed.

I'm from out of town, but I'll definitely be making a point to come back on my next visit. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 .“

“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!“

“Excellent experience at the drive-thru it was a young African-American male working the drive-thru window I can hear his smile through the speaker his suggestions were perfect my order was correct the food was hot and delicious I even called back and spoke to the general manager to tell her about my experience“

“Probably the best/most authentic california-style mexican restaurant in Madison. Great food and portion sizes for a decent price—beats chipotle/Qdoba any day of the week. The burritos are good and as large as your forearm, but I would recommend the enchiladas or steak.“
