Was looking for a taco spot in town after work and this hidden gem kept popping up everywhere. What…read morecaught my eye were the wet burritos and wet tortas -- those pictures looked way too good to ignore. So today I finally gave this taco joint a shot. Right away the service stood out. The person at the front was friendly, professional, and super helpful with recommendations. You can also see the taco man in the back making sure everything comes out fresh and cooked perfectly. The setup is small but cozy, tucked inside a store with a few tables and a TV. Definitely the kind of spot you sit down and enjoy instead of rushing out. Now the wet burrito... my LORD. That's what a burrito is supposed to be. Packed with flavorful meat, loaded with sauce, and they absolutely do not skimp on portions. Every bite was fire and I still had enough left over to take home. If you're in Madera, stop wasting time searching for tacos or burritos elsewhere. This hidden gem just became my new go-to spot.

The sit down food area is in the back of a gas station. They serve alcohol and have clear signs…read morethat say no alcohol beyond this point. We were quickly greeted with a smile, even though the cashier was putting together a large order. Several people were seated, waiting for to go orders. Cleanliness of food area: the floors were immaculate and the food cook and prep area were very clean. I noticed the cook washing his hands, the sink is visible from the front counter. All tables were clean, the trash cans were empty and clean. Lots of wall decor which was clean and decorated for Valentine's Day. The cashier, Hailey was asked for best menu items and we ordered those. Hailey is very enthusiastic about the food here, which isn't typical of cashiers. Usually it's idk maybe try this.. she knew immediately how to answer and what she specifically loved! Order: Pedro Special: which is bacon, ham, chorizo, sausage, beans, eggs, cheese and potatoes.. Shrimp wet taco: shrimp, cheese and a deliciously seasoned shredded bi with warm spices Heyy-dog tacos: seasoned and fried baked papa with chorizo fried crispy with red oil. Pastor street style taco: pastor meat, cilantro onion.. Green salsa: very bright flavors of lime and cilantro which brighten up and add that freshness to the fatty meats and fried tortillas. Tasted verrrrrrrrrrrry fresh made. Red salsa: had a nice flavor, with fresh cultural but I prefer green. Tasted veryyyyyyy fresh made. The shrimp wet taco was a definite 5/5 for both myself and boyfriend. The shrimp paired well with the warm spices added to the birria. I picked up hints of both cinnamon and clove. The birria is more on the traditional end and not the viral trend end. I tend to shy away from Birria due to the amount of grease and fat, while it was present, it was perfect blend, not overwhelming and didn't kill my stomach! Flavors were well, the cheese complimented it and the perfectly crispy fried tortillas coupled with the green chile salsa to brighten the entire pallet. The Pedro was HUGE, I couldn't wrap my hand around the burrito!! A massive burrito with perfect textured potatoes, very evenly proportioned, with all of the toppings. I expected it to have a heavy presence of the cheaper items like beans and potatoes, this was not the case! The pastor taco was lucious and all the different floral, acidic, salty notes could be picked up! Again, paired well with green salsa. Hey dog tacos: The chorizo used is a butcher style blend and not the cheap tubed stuff. I love butcher chorizo, without eggs, paired with potatoes!! The tacos were absolutely filled! I added a touch of salt, I'm a salt heavy person.. Customer service was really good!! You hear lots of positive talk coming from the kitchen area, even during super busy stressful times. Hailey is calling back to the cook what she has prepared, what is needed, what orders are complete and how she completed them. Doing all of this she is managing phones, counter orders, fake calls of people claiming they ordered food on Uber Eats and communicating the entire time with the cook. What an asset of an employee and a great multitasker! Will we return: Based on customer service alone, yes. The quantity versus quality was also great, especially in today's economy! I'd love to have the hey dog tacos with a grilled hot dog tossed in there..

Emmie's Sidewalk Cafe is a bustling morning cafe with plenty of people sitting, chatting, and…read moregetting work done during any given morning. We stopped by here on the way to Monterey since we wanted some caffeine for the drive, and we were pleasantly surprised with how lively the cafe was. The baristas were also incredibly nice, patient, and helpful. They made recommendations and served every patron with a smile. I got their ceremonial matcha (they serve both a cafe style and a ceremonial drink) with salted caramel sugar-free syrup and almond milk. In hindsight, I'm getting just regular syrup next time because it tasted pretty artificial--but to be honest, I feel like that's expected when you try to take all the sweetness out of the drink. My sister got their apple pie latte and liked it as well...and I can't remember what my mom got. Either way we thought the space was very cute and had plenty of room and seating, and we just loved the overall vibe of the cafe. I would visit again if I'm ever in the area.
