I went on 7/12, a Wednesday evening so it wasn't crowded at all. I was able to walk up and order right away. The guy that took my order was friendly and answered all of the questions that I had. I ordered the Cocina Taco Plate which comes with 3 tacos with the meat of your choice, beans, and rice. I got all 3 meats that they offered (chicken, beef, pork), as I wanted to taste them, but I feel like everything could've used more seasoning, even the sides. It tasted a bit bland and lacked flavor. It didn't taste bad though, I would just suggest seasoning the food a little better. It came out within 10minutes which wasn't bad since people had ordered before me. There was plenty of seating and the place seemed clean and decent. Probably wouldn't come back though.

Shrimp Ceviche

Good place to grab a quick bite to eat at the Galleria Mall. The tacos were good, filling, and the spicy salsa was so spicy! The taco plate came with decent rice and beans. I wasn't a huge fan of the shrimp ceviche - only the shrimp tasted good and the vegetables in it were just okay. The food came out quickly and was packaged nicely. I'd eat here again when at the mall!

The food here is so good especially the street corn with cheese and mayo. The shrimp ceviche is awesome too and the portion is much bigger than I had anticipated. For mall food, this pace is top notch!

The sign says 7.99 ended up being charged 12.00 for it food is excellent but the lady could have been nicer

Taquitos con carnitas, rice and beans

We were craving Mexican food and we haven't tried the place in the South Bay galleria mall so we figured why not. The food was actually pretty good and the servers we nice and helpful with what to order and etc.

Pork pozole. Weekends in December and January only.
Brian W.

It's mall food court food. Expect little and you will not be disappointed. The December/January weekend special, pork pozole, is... alright. It's a good step up from crappy cafeteria pozole but is still fundamentally nothing special. That said it's a nice non-big-chain to have inside the mall and hence is a worthy alternative.

Second time here, this is my first time ordering nachos. Thank you to Juan for his great customer service. The nachos were bomb!

Shrimp ceviche

I love this place. They have some amazing fish tacos ! And the cocina papas are delicious too.

Francisco C.

In one word , horrible. Was so disgusting and wouldn't come back really outrageous pricing for some nasty food Wasted $20 for a nasty meal. Need better meat and better everything

Taco Salad my favorite

The food is always on point. About to watch a movie. 100 times better than theater food and less than half the money.

We ate at Maderos yesterday and I honestly can't stop thinking about the food! It's in such a cute…read morespot right on PCH in Redondo Beach, which already makes it a great place to stop, but the food completely exceeded our expectations. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned. We ordered the carne asada and carnitas, and both were amazing. The meat was tender, flavorful, and not fatty at all just perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. My daughter had the bean and cheese burrito with rice and beans and loved it too. They bring out three different salsas with the chips, and each one had its own unique flavor. You can tell the chips are house-made because they're fresh, crisp, and just really good. Some Mexican restaurants can make things overly salty, but everything here tasted balanced and fresh. I also had a Paloma and it was made perfectly. Before we left we decided to try the churros and I'm so glad we did. They were filled with this amazing cream and came with a caramel sauce for dipping. I'm not usually a big dessert person, but these were seriously incredible. Great location, great service, amazing food, and everything tasted fresh and well made. We will definitely be back!

After checking out local reviews we decided to have dinner at Maderos. At first we were confused…read morebecause the sign at the foor said they were closed but when we saw a couple go Inside , we realized they were open. Service was very friendly and attentive and we were promptly seated and served fresh chips along with a trio of salsas which were fresh and had the perfect levels of spice. My son had the kids enchilada and enjoyed his meal. I ordered 3 tacos from the à la carte menu. The chicken was fine but the fish and shrimp were undercooked and I couldn't eat them, which is why I deducted the one star. The other deduction was for the underwhelming flavors in the meals themselves. Usually when a Mexican restaurant had amazing salsa, the same vibe carries through with the entrees , but unfortunately it wasn't my experience. I would probably try once more and edit my review based on a second experience.

This was our first time visiting this restaurant, and unfortunately it was a huge disappointment…read more The food, the service, and especially the margaritas all missed the mark. The margaritas tasted like dirty water completely watered down with no flavor at all. They were honestly some of the worst we've ever had. If you decide to come here, I'd recommend sticking with a beer and maybe a quesadilla, since those are pretty hard to mess up. It's really disappointing that every part of our experience fell short, because I would have gladly given a higher rating if there had been at least one standout. Sadly, there just wasn't

We tried a couple of dishes for the first time. I had the Shrimp Tacos which were well presented…read moreand delicious. The sauce gave the tacos the perfect taste without overwhelming the taste of the shrimp and avocado. The soft tacos held the contents together very well and made the meal be the easy and pleasant to eat. My guest ordered the Birria Quesadilla. It looked good and he was very happy with the meal. One issue was he noticed the dish of mole sauce included was very tiny so he asked for another dish. Without letting us know we were charged $2.00 for this tiny dish of sauce. Additionally we are normally offered refills on chips and salsa. Not this time (nor last time). O asked the server but he never brought it. Overall it was a very nice dinner and I don't expect perfection. I still highly recommend this restaurant.
