    a plate of mexican food
    Christian H.

    Best tacos in Madera ca. Ice cold water soda and beer. They also make delicious burritos here.

    Giant burrito

    Had cravings for a burrito so I placed a phone order. Showed up and my order was ready, place was packed. Burrito was great and a good value for its quality and size. I definitely recommend.

    $6.50 per burrito $1.50 per taco Still a deal. A very tasty deal, that is.

    4 tacos de asada sìn cebolla. Fantastic!
    Raymond A.

    A longtime Madera staple, delicious tacos indeed. The menu is quite small; tacos, burritos and drinks. The hours used to be quite early. Overall, worthwhile of a quick bite for fast, friendly service.

    Im going to keep this very short. Come for the cabeza tacos. Nothing else, hidden gem! -Cash only -Beer -Sauce out of this world

    Closed at 1pm on a Monday :/

    Drove quite a ways on a Monday at 1pm and they were closed. Hours say open at 11am. No sign saying why they weren't open. Disappointed. Went next door and she didn't know why they were closed.

    Three carnitas tacos.

    Stopped in for a burrito, but found out they only do tacos on the weekend. What? So I went for three carnitas tacos and a Tecate. Simple, but delicious tacos for $1.50 each. Burritos (when they have them) are $6.25. Meats are biztek, carnitas, and cabeza. They have a combo of 2 tacos, rice and beans for $5.50. Popular place.

    Madera's Hidden Gem :)

    This review is way way over due! So as mentioned by other reviewers, this place is really a hidden gem in Madera. If you are coming down "D" street and blink you will miss it. However Madera natives know exact where to come for fantastic food. I was born and raised in Madera and the only place that my family would resort too for Mexican food. I have eaten at this place for more than 25 years and the food quality has not changed. Whenever I am in town, I definitely make time to come enjoy a ginormous delicious burrito. The family that runs this place is very nice and always greet with warm smile. The restaurant is small and way over due for makeover, but the quality/consistency of the food makes up for it. Between the hours of 11:30-2 it does get really packed in there; get there early to get a seat. Parking sometimes is a pain too. Every person that I have introduced to this restaurant gets hooked like a cracked head (lol). The food is that damn good! As you can see from the photos the $5.50 Burritos are literally bigger than the plates served on and filled with rice, beans, cheese, salsa, onion, cilantro and your specialty choice of meat: Carnitas, Asada, Cabeza. Same goes for the Especial combo plate. No outside drinks are allowed inside but there are plenty of canned sodas or beer to choose from. Credit/Debit cards are not allowed and as Mari mentioned no burritos on Sundays :( Also they are closed on Mondays. Highly recommend Taqueria Chavinda!

    The tacos aren't bad. The service is ok. But I find it convenient to go in and have my food ready within minutes.

    Food is great. But waited 30 minutes for a burrito and when I asked for salsa, never got it. Food is good, customer service sucked BAD!

    Very best taqueria anywhere. Their burritos are very large and my wife and I usually split them. My favorite are the Carnitas Burritos.

    We were heading toward Yosemite and decided to stop here on a whim and I am so glad we did…read more The location was easy to find, and there was plenty of seating, so we were able to sit down right away. As soon as we looked over the menu, my mouth was already watering. We ordered the aguachiles verdes, the molcajete supreme, and I added a side of fries. When I say the food came out fast, I mean FAST, especially for food this fresh. The wait staff was attentive, friendly, and checked in just enough without being overbearing. The aguachile was honestly one of the best I've had. The green sauce was incredibly flavorful, perfectly balanced, and everything tasted fresh and vibrant. The molcajete supreme did not disappoint. The sauce was rich and delicious, and the portion of carne and shrimp was generous and very satisfying. You can tell care goes into the food here. And somehow, even the fries were amazing .... crispy, hot, and the perfect side. If you're passing through on your way to Yosemite, this place is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back.

    Was here back in October for my bday visiting Madera, came in here bcuz i saw they served fresh…read moresmall oysters (very hard to find small ones) That day we ordered oysters, molcajete ofc our beer, and a cold molcajete mango i think it was.plus Benny the chef gave us mellejinos ala diabla to try n OMGGGG DELICIOUS ALL AROUND. Iam a seafood fanatic its mainly what i eat and yes i was impressed. Been since my bday mid October ive been thinking bout coming back. Today dec 27 iam bk and yes i orderd alot cuz ive been craving it for 2 months now lol Definitely recommend. Great service. Delicious food. Great music. Clean restaurant. Must have! Period :) Will be back more often i hope
