It gave off a great vibe , like was eating at a friend's casa. The chips and salsa came out. Boy was it spicy and delicious! The service was great and staff were friendly. I received my plate and it had plenty of food. The streak was as tender, tacos were crispy and the enchiladas were delicious! Great plate if you're hungry like I was. If I'm passing through again I'm definitely stopping here again. Stay hungry my friends.

I have been there probably 3 times in the last 5 years. Some people love it some hate it. I will just say it's like a last option for me. It's got a good vide but lacks what matters flavor but everyone is different. I would say try it and judge for yourself.

We got the 12 taco plate with 1/2 of al pastor and half bistec (beef) then also got chips and salsa. The taco came out with a side red onions, white onions, cilantro, lime, cucumbers, red (spicy) salsa, and green (flavorful) salsa. The chips and salsa was more of a really flavorful tomatillo salsa. Not enough salsa for "chips & salsa" but priced fairly. We enjoyed it!

I don't know what happened but they need to make some changes. The tacos were to salty and the meat had an unappealing look to it. You really had to load down the tacos with a bunch of the condiments for it to be ok. We also had the bistek nachos and these were not even ok the nachos were super soggy and the pastor meat suffered for the same problem as the bistek. More than anything everything looked like it had been sitting out for a while and then they just throw everything together at the last minute. I will say the service is good and the place is clean, so hopefully they make a few changes.

Hola from Brock I…read morecame to El Tacon Madre and let me tell you... the fideo + chips = chef's kiss. So good I had seconds of BOTH. That's how you know it's serious business. Slurpy noodles, crunchy chips, zero regrets. My roommate (aka my mom) ordered the tacos rancheros and she wasn't a huge fan, but that's okay because more attention should be on my fideo anyway. Priorities. Important adult note: this place is BYOB. My dad would like everyone to know he wishes he had been emotionally and mentally prepared for that information ahead of time Kid-approved, attentive staff, tummy-happy, and I would absolutely come back for round three of fideo.

When we asked if it was ready after 30min because we literally saw a whole family of 10 come in, order, and get all their plates before our 2 to go tortas, the server said she "has to serve everyone who sits down before to go orders". What kind of sense does that make?
