    The absolute best breakfast burritos! As soon as my husband and I walked in we were greeted with smiles and a warm "Goodmorning" we ordered and the food was made immediately after using their fresh meat which they offer for sale as well. I ordered a chorizo burrito which had beans, potatoes, cheese, chorizo, and some fresh peppers. We ordered salsa verde with our food and it was some of the best salsa I've had from a breakfast restaurant! The food was delicious and what made it even better was the service! They were so kind and friendly. 10/10 place

    Chicken tacos and al pastor tacos

    I came to Emma's Taqueria with my Madera Native co worker as it's our thing to try out places around Madera for fun and just chill out. The co worker informed me that this is like her favorite Taco place and usually calls it in and goes. This place is definitely a hole in the wall which makes this place grand as they focus on the quality of the food. The menu is posted on the wall and since I am such a taco lover I opted for their chicken tacos and uno pastor. I was able to order my food without using my broken Spanish which was nice. The place smelled delicious and they also sell meats as pictured. There is NO A/C so the co worker reported that it gets very hot in the establishment when the Tripple digits occur. The staff was very friendly and nice. Our food came out at a decent rate and I was so ready to dig in when my food came. The co worker got a torta and I got the tacos. The taco shells were homemade and bomb! I couldn't eat so many!!!! They were delicious. The chicken tacos with the orangish reddish sauce was delicious. The meat was well seasoned and even crispy. The Al Pastor was delicious and very yummy. I will definitely come back. This place is hidden between houses and definitely bends in with the surroundings. If you haven't tried Emma's you have to! It is very delicious and I enjoyed my time there. They also have TVs inside. My taco Tuesday cravings were satisfied.

    If you ever find yourself in Madera, go to Emma's Taqueria. All slow cooked, fresh, and oh so good! Staff was quite personable too. Emma's deserves thumbs up and five stars

    Carne Asada torta and fries

    A friend of mine choose this place based off of Google reviews. I will have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The food was definitely fresh made as soon as we ordered. The lady behind the register who also cooked the food was super nice and super apologetic that it took a little bit longer than normal. I had the turtle which came with fries which was fantastic highly recommend us

    Hands Down best burrito in Madera. P.s. add sour cream and lettuce to the tacos and burritos

    Compa Franks is truly one of Madera's hidden gems. From the moment the food hit the table, you…read morecould tell everything was made with care and packed with flavor. The Molcajete was the standout dish of the night. It arrived sizzling hot and loaded with perfectly cooked meats, seafood, fresh vegetables, and a rich, savory sauce that tied everything together. It was hearty, flavorful, and easily one of the best Molcajetes I've had. The mussels were another favorite. Honestly, everything tasted like it came straight out of someone's mother's kitchen--in the best way possible. The food had that homemade, comforting quality that's hard to find these days. The portions were generous, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere had that cozy, family-owned feel that makes you want to come back again.

    We were heading toward Yosemite and decided to stop here on a whim and I am so glad we did…read more The location was easy to find, and there was plenty of seating, so we were able to sit down right away. As soon as we looked over the menu, my mouth was already watering. We ordered the aguachiles verdes, the molcajete supreme, and I added a side of fries. When I say the food came out fast, I mean FAST, especially for food this fresh. The wait staff was attentive, friendly, and checked in just enough without being overbearing. The aguachile was honestly one of the best I've had. The green sauce was incredibly flavorful, perfectly balanced, and everything tasted fresh and vibrant. The molcajete supreme did not disappoint. The sauce was rich and delicious, and the portion of carne and shrimp was generous and very satisfying. You can tell care goes into the food here. And somehow, even the fries were amazing .... crispy, hot, and the perfect side. If you're passing through on your way to Yosemite, this place is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back.
