I chose to stop here for a weekday dinner this week, because it was convenient and I had never been…read moreinside before - I have to be totally honest here and say why - their front door is always dirty. It has streaks and handprints that are visible from the road as you pass by, and it actually deters us. The food was okay. The chips and salsa were good, but we were not asked prior to dinner orders if we would like any guacamole or queso, but we chose to order queso anyway after our main food order was placed. I chose a 'bistec' (thin flat steak) with an adobado sauce - which when I asked for a description of, (thinking it was a version of adobo?) I was told by my server they had not tried it, but 'did not think it was spicy'. I am okay with some spice to my food, so I ventured for it. It was indeed spicy. I was able to enjoy it regardless, with the accompanying avocado / mash / salad.. My dinner companion ordered a different dish altogether, and it was covered in the same sauce (not disclosed on the menu) - she would have liked some sour cream to accompany, but never again did our server visit the table until it was clear we were no longer eating. I wouldn't discourage anyone from trying the place, but I was not impressed.

The food…read morehas been out of this world the last two times we have been there, whereas before it was just good. Now I am a very plain eater- the spiciest I like to get is vanilla (lol). However, I have noticed a distinct change in the food. The amount of spice in the food only adds to the quality of it. There is a distinct improvement in the flavor that carries through from the first bite until the very last. There is a big change in the quality of the service as well. It took a tiny bit of a delay to get seated, but the food and service made it worth the wait. My beverage was filled before I asked for it, the waitress asked about the flavor of the food and if everything was good, and of course it was! The ambiance is amazing and the decorations appeared authentic. I cannot imagine the craftmanship that went into carving the booths! We will definitely be back here again- it is at the top of our list!

It is bright, cheerful and very clean. The menu has the typical Mexican restaurant options like tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, enchiladas and burritos and the also have a kids menu. I love their chorizo con huevo because not a lot of places have that kind of dish on their menu. It is chorizo (theirs has a great deal of flavor and isn't greasy like chorizo sometimes can be), onions, peppers and eggs. They serve it with tortillas and rice. Lots of food and packed with flavor. I have also tasted the enciladas and my husband loved the cowboy burrito. For drinks, especially during the summer they have awesome daily specials. I've tried the watermelon water and the cucumber lime. So very refreshing! Service is friendly and attentive and they are great about answering any questions that you might have about menu items. I highly recommend having lunch or dinner here and then heading next door to the creamery for delicious ice cream.

Our waiter was attentive without lingering and the portions were generous. They allowed us to plug in our cell phone at their station. My friend got the trio of street tacos and was only able to eat one along with rice and beans. (Taking the rest with him, of course!) The Mango salsa was like a "cup of sunshine." Really delicious!!! My taco was really good. My quesadilla was crisp but the cheese was a little bland. The salsa was really good. My one criticism is the restroom. The ladies room stalls were not only really small, but the lock on the door was broken so my door would stay closed. Being handicapped, I had a bit of trouble maneuvering but the restroom was clean with no shortage of hand towels.

The rice and brown beans is great, too, along with even their basic salad, homemade juices, and sodas (I strongly recommend the raspberry soda, which is 95% of your daily intake of sugar but worth it). I recommend ringing their bell at the front and asking the cook to give you samples of items you're unfamiliar with, which she did for me. They are a really friendly duo and take pride in their Dominican food (the only place I know of that has it in Western Pennsylvania).

Service was slow, all of our dishes were served warm at best (mine was cold), only exception being the fajitas which were served steaming hot. I had enchiladas plus a taco. Not very flavorful and skimpy on the fillings. A lot of tortilla and sauce but very little meat. My wife had the chili rellenos and while deep fried on the outside the cheese inside wasn't melted. One friend had the dish that they serve flaming (can't recall its name and I didn't get a pic) and it was meh. The fish tacos also not a highlight. The steak fajitas were said to be pretty good. Also note, chips and salsa are not complimentary, they charge $3.50 for soda water and have a sign at the entrance notifying a 5% discount if paying cash (i.e. a 5% credit card fee). I'm not sure if this was just an off night for them or not but there are a few Mexican spots in the area that are consistently good (Plaza Azteca in White Oak and El Campesino in Monroeville). I likely won't try Madero again.
