Stowe has become a go-to for us when we want to get away, and this place is definitely on our list whenever we go back. No pics of the food but look at the cute crocheted motivational veggies they have on the counter!

I love Mexican food. I've enjoyed it in all of its various sub-genres for decades. I've eaten…read moreOaxacan in San Antonio, off the backs of taco trucks in San Diego, and in straw thatched huts all across Mexico. There's no way I'm finding decent Mexican in northern Vermont, right? Well, ok, there's one for sure: Trail Break in White River Junction. But it's a Wednesday, and they're closed. Besides, we were just in Burlington, and the nearest city on our route is Montpelier. Ok, what's what around here? Cute little city. Cool buildings. And hey, there's a place called Mad Taco. Let's give that a try. The logo is John Tenniel's timeless portrait of the Mad Hatter, with added tacos on his plates. Nice touch, and I almost missed it. And now I have Grace Potter's cover of White Rabbit stuck in my brain... "Feed your head!!" Grace Potter is from around here, no? I bet she eats here when she isn't basking in Rock Stardomness. Wife and I ordered burritos, hers was carnitas, mine al pastor. We also put in for chips with guacamole. A simple dinner fare to be eaten in the front seat of our car before we start putting on more miles on our way back to Western Mass. The guy behind the counter was super cool, and helpful too. Food only took about 10 minutes or so. He set us up with everything we needed to eat take out, and I snagged a little to go cup of mild cilantro sauce (#3 on the spicy scale, not super hot) The burritos were both enormous and delicious. (Interruption from the future, I've been eating the leftovers for 2 days. Still good, nom nom nom.) My only hint of "c'mon Vermont, you can do better" was the guacamole. While the chips were astounding (lightly salted, hand fried tortilla rounds you break apart yourself, crispy perfection.) Their guacamole was just, "meh." It was mostly just squished avocado. I don't think it had any salt, lime, garlic, or anything else in it. There was a lot of it for the price we paid, but very plain. I'm not sure if that's to cater to local tastes? Like are the regulars afraid of a little jalapeno? Hard to know. If it's me, I'm punching it up with a touch of adobo, just a little hot sauce, maybe a squeeze of lime, some salsa? Your mileage may vary. That said, I don't feel the guacamole is more than a half star drop, and I always round up. Have I gone mad? Completely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best taco joints are... Mad Taco, I give you a mercurial 5 stars! Well done.

Food wise I like that they have a few choices for kids, although it's too bad they don't have a non-spicy ground beef option for kids. We split a special and the Ahi Tuna Tostada, which was tasty, although I wish the tuna portion was less meager. Smoked wings were decent and were spiced differently than others that I've had. Portion size was fair. Overall pretty positive experience and I'd come back to this location and/or explore the others.

The vibe is exactly what you'd expect from a classic Mexican-American chain--casual, comfortable, and easygoing. We all ordered the mixed fajitas with chicken and steak, served with rice, beans, and salad. The complimentary chips and salsa were a nice touch to start. Everything was tasty overall. The steak was a little chewy, but honestly for the price point, it was a great value. Left full and satisfied, and I'd definitely come back again.

How is it possible that this Vermont delicacy tasted better than I can ever recall? The texture what sublime. The maple flavor pronounced.

Their meats are bland with hardly any smoke ring as you will see in their brisket nope nothing ! And their sauces suck and are only from high priced bullcrap privateers . They obviously did not do any homework before opening . Ive heard from a few wedding parties they catered and those parties were not happy at all and basically had the same critique as i do . We will never buy so called bbq from them ever again

Still fabulous…read more They've evolved from being a completely home based operation to operating a food truck on weekends. This is the message from the business when I wrote to inquire (as of December 2024): "We are doing a food truck now in Waitsfield on Saturdays during the winter in the Waitsfield in the Chamber of Commerce parking lot. It is across from Valero gas station. We will be there from 12-5 on Saturday. We ask if someone is getting food for 12 or more people to please preorder, otherwise just stop in and we can serve you." Meats are awesomely tender and moist, perfectly imbued with smoke, seasoned with just the right amount of salt and paprika-forward spice. Lesser barbecue sometimes clonks you over the head with smoke, sugar, and seasonings. Dino Bones is so much more nuanced and refined. It does not rely on sweetness for its appeal. We recently tried a half pound of brisket and a half rack of ribs, each $15, with sauce on the side for a bit extra. There's a good reason the sauce is sold on the side: meat is so good you don't really need (or want) a sauce to obscure those great flavors. Ingredients are well sourced, locally sourced -- and you can taste the quality. Hope we can keep this place open!!
