Cocina Madrigal Tacos + Tequila

This was seriously some of THE BEST Mexican food I've had. Everything was reasonably priced as well. Not as many options as some other Mexican restaurants but everything we had was just delicious. The location itself is a house-tyrmed-restaurant with some patio outdoor seating. It was really loud inside (packed with people) but we were able to be seated outside almost right away; two of us, arriving about 6 or so in the evening. Parking also was pretty terrible but if you can find a spot it is worth it!

Well after listening to everyone brag about this place as if it was a gold mine and being referred to it by a downtown eatery near my office, I decided to go and check this place out for myself. As I pulled into the parking lot, I saw there were parking issues. I looked outside in the patios and then went inside the restaurant, and I immediately noticed there would be things they needed to work on. I sat outside so I could hear what the patrons were saying about their food, and that too may have been a bad choice. Although I was greeted and tended to pretty fast by the hostess and my waitress, as soon as my waitress walked away, there was also a four-legged friend who decided to join me under-the-table. Don't get me wrong, I love animals. I love pets, and I love life, but this was not the place or the time for it. I went ahead and ordered 2 chicken enchiladas and one beef taco. I was served within 10 minutes and also had a small glass of tea with my meal. The green chicken enchiladas were OK but not something that I would order again. I then focused my attention on the beef taco that I had requested, and that too was not a good choice. This restaurant claims to be Oaxacan style food, and I do know what authentic Mexican food is as I have cooked for my family and friends many times. Maybe this was just an off day for them, I don't know. When my waitress came back out, she only checked on me once, while other patrons received more attention than I did. My waitress did not ask if I wanted a refill of tea and just went ahead and poured water into my glass, and now I have a mixture of watered-down flavor. That is a big no-no. To do that to a customer is a lack of attention you give to them. There is nothing else I can say about this place, so I think that's it. Was it just a bad day for them? I'll try again sometime. As for their sister restaurant downtown on Central Avenue and Monroe, I highly recommend them. Enjoy!

Chips n salsa were excellent. Thin crispy chips witch is always better. Steak taco's n steak burrito with green sauce. Same steak is used in both, witch ended up being a disappointment. Steak tasted sweet, this is not what I'm looking for in steak flavor for a burrito. In a Japanese dish yes not in a burrito with green sauce. Burrito was also filled with mixed greens salad. The cheese on top was flavorful but needed more to enhance the overall flavor of the burrito. Enchiladas n green sauce were good. Rice n beans were under par. Long walk after finding a parking an the prices. Not worth it.

What a gem to find this Mexican food. Enjoyable lunch with colleagues. Loved the chicken quesadillas and super yummy! The beef and pork burritos are huge but is really tasty. Too much for one person to consume for sure. The grilled chicken salad is nice and light. Will come to drink their tequilas the next time.. friendly staff and sitting outside to enjoy the light cool breeze is nice
