    Listen if you are wanting fresh food like straight from its source you have to stop by! I don't eat…read moreMexican food a lot however today when I took a bite of the food, it like dissolved for me lol! It was seasoned omg! Then they made the sweet tea right! Our waiter Francisco was absolutely amazing. Oh I have ocd about cleanliness before I can eat anything! So needless to say the restaurant was grade A!

    We were excited to meet up with family at A Toda Madre. The place was incredibly close to our hotel…read morewhich is a big plus and has a large, spacious and beautifully decorated dining room. The positive reviews drew me here so we were looking forward to some authentic Mexican food. We came on a Saturday night, fairly late in the evening because, let's be honest, us Miamians do everything late. We were told there would be a wait for a large table, but the host was very attentive and suggested seating us in two separate booths across from each other for quicker seating. He did mention there would be live entertainment starting soon but little did we know....Since we had two children with us, including a baby who was already exhausted and asleep, we happily agreed. Although the booths were directly across from one another, we later discovered hearing each other was going to be a challenge. Before I get to that, let's talk about the food. After reviewing the very lengthy menu, we joked that it felt like the Mexican version of a Cheesecake Factory menu. Thankfully, our choices stood out and were quick to pick what we were feeling for. I ordered the Mexican Burrito, stuffed with steak, shrimp, chicken, and rice. It was huge, so I could only manage half of it. Hubby went with the Mar y Tierra tacos, and those grilled corn tortillas really elevated the his steak and shrimp. It was served with rice and black beans and was packed with flavor. Now, the reason I didn't give five stars was unfortunately because of the live entertainment. A local Mexican band arrived to perform for the rest of the evening. Normally, I really love any form of entertainment. I'm from Miami, so a lively atmosphere is almost expected. Unfortunately, this was just way too loud and made it nearly impossible to hear anyone at our table. Even the waitress had to come within breathing distance to take our orders, and we definitely couldn't hear our family sitting in the booth across from us. The band itself was actually awesome. They sounded great with has amazing energy, had customers singing along, and even got a few couples up dancing. It was just incredibly loud. Our baby deserves a special shoutout because he somehow slept through the entire thing without even flinching. I honestly have no idea how. On a scale of 1 to 10, the noise level was easily a 15. It's the one thing I can't overlook because we were really looking forward to catching up and chatting with family, and that simply didn't happen. That said, the food was delicious, the service was excellent, and we left with plenty of leftovers to enjoy the next day.

    Food: 4 Service: 4.5…read moreAmbiance: 5 Date/Time: 5/15/2026 7pm Order: ACP, Pollo Tropical, No Manches 'Rita, Ojitos Lindos 'Rita Crowd: 1/3 full I think this place has gone through a couple of mgmt/name changes since first going there, but the place looks the same inside and the food is just as good but seems to be more variety. The service was very good with what seemed to be a newer server. She checked in quite often until it was time to bring the check. Had to ask her for that after about a 10 minute wait after she cleaned off the table. Outside of that, very friendly and attentive. The ACP had very thin slices of chicken which was nice, but not as much cheese as you typically see in other restaurants. According to the server, you do have to ask for some flour tortillas on the side if you want them as they don't come by default. The Pollo Tropical had a nice thin layer of chicken breast covered in cheese.... tasty. The margaritas were good and have a smear of taijin on one side of the rim which gives the drink a little spice. Prices are in line with other restaurants in the area. Definitely would recommend it.

    Came out to dinner with friends and it was wonderful. Not very busy since it is a Wednesday. They…read morehave a $10 mezcal deal, so I got a mezcal margarita and it was delicious. We also got the guacamole, which was yummy and made table side. Then I ordered a quesadilla fajita. Typically quesadilla fajitas have melted cheese in line but this one didn't. Our waitress was amazing! She was sweet and attentive. I'll definitely go back but will likely order the burrito which I've found to be delicious.
