We ate at Maderos yesterday and I honestly can't stop thinking about the food! It's in such a cute spot 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! read more

I really loved coming here, they give you such an authentic experience. We came by on a Sunday evening and had no trouble getting a table for four on the patio outside. They immediately bring around chips and three types of salsa, which is such a nice gesture to still get at some places. The service was great, they help each other. We tried the quesadilla trio, the street corn, and a number of different tacos. The food was really good, there were some that I liked more than others but definitely a solid place for authentic Mexican read more

Tried Maderos the other night..To start they were woefully understaffed, yet did a great job of getting to you, always with a smile..The menu is plentiful, however I didn't see any combination plates..We ordered, our dinners came out perfectly cooked & the tasted great.. My only complaint, is the bathroom, to me if your bathroom isn't completely clean, I wonder about your kitchen..Just let me add, it was superficially cleaned, surface only, I mean.. We will be back.. All n all a strong 3 out of 5.. read more

Love this place! Tacos were $3 for happy hour and the margaritas were $8. The tacos were very delicious! Margaritas are strong but balanced too. Their guacamole is smooth and flavorful too. Service is always attentive and super nice. Inside is super cute and they have covered outdoor seating too. read more

Quality + Price + Service = Must Go. Every time I've come here, I've left happy. I've tried the carne asada, carnitas, enchiladas, salmon, and everything has been consistently great! The portions are solid for the price, and the overall experience never disappoints. read more

I haven't dined here in years. I recall my last visit was very good so we decided to return. The restaurant was very empty when we arrived. In fact we were the only customers. But soon more people began arriving. The server was friendly and prompt. I ordered the Camarónes Borrachos which I found somewhat disappointing. The pieces of shrimp were small, short on quality, very dry and rather blah in taste. This isn't a dish I'll order here again. It was well presented but the beauty did not translate to the taste. My guest ordered the Carnitas and said it as one of the best dishes of that type he ever had. He was very satisfied and we agreed to return again on the future. The restaurant has a private parking lot and there was abundant street parking available. It's a nice restaurant with excellent service and good prices. Despite my dislike for a particular dish I give this restaurant my recommendation. read more

I love this little restaurant. The steak fajitas are tender and full of steak'ish flavor. The wet burritos are filling. You'll be sleepy if you ordered and ate this for lunch and had to go back to work for the rest of the afternoon. The chips are crispy. The salsa is delicious, spicy but not too hot. The tortillas are fresh and addictive. Great friendly service. Clean and comfortable. read more

Had an appointment not far from Redondo Beach, so decided to get some comfort food at Maderos Cocina. We ordered a bottle of Modelo negra which was cold and refreshing. The chips and salsa were yummy and the chips were unsalted with three different salsas. My wife ordered the carne asada burrito mojado and I ordered the carnitas plate. Both dishes was served hot and loaded with flavor. Our server was friendly and efficient in taking our order and delivering our food. read more

Maderos Cocina Mexicana - $5 tacos are bigger than your average street taco - Mexican Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I don't usually write reviews like this because I'd consider myself someone with a lot of patience. But my partner and I came to Maderos tonight after looking around Yelp and seeing how many great reviews it had. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and decided to sit outside, which felt perfect for a Sunday evening. We each ordered Orden De Tacos -- which is two tacos with rice and beans -- which seems simple enough. But after a while, we started noticing that people who arrived after us were ordering, getting their food, eating, paying, and leaving while we were still waiting. Again, all we had ordered was four tacos total, plus rice and beans. About 50 minutes after we placed our order, I finally got up to ask our waiter if he could check on our food because it had been such a long wait. If they were too busy (there were a lot of people, but not absurdly so), that's where communication could have gone a long way. Even just stopping by to acknowledge the delay or apologize for the wait would have made the experience feel very different. In the end, it took nearly an hour to get our four tacos from the time we ordered it, and the wait wasn't mentioned by staff at all. The food was okay in the end, but the experience definitely left us disappointed. read more

The food was fresh and fast. I'm sure the tortillas were freshly made because the tortillas taste like it. The servers were both very approachable and attentive. It's very much a chill vibe no need to dress up but you can come just as you are. They have happy hour from 3-6. Tacos are 3.50 and they have beer and Margaritas on the happy hour. I'm not a drinker so I can't remember how much. read more

This has become our new favorite Mexican food spot in the South Bay. The food is excellent. We went on Cinco de Mayo and even though they were jam-packed, the service was still attentive and the quality of the food did not suffer at all. The outdoor seating area is great because it feels enclosed but you can still bring your dog. Last time we went we got the molcajete and it might just be the best I've ever had. The salsa was perfectly spicy, Smoky, and a little cheesy. Overall, it's a great place to go! read more

Went for dinner to this beautiful restaurant on Friday night. The service was a 10 from our waiter Adrian he was friendly and very attentive. And every person that works there very nice and friendly, made me and my husband feel welcomed. Food was delicious I had an order of tacos and my husband ordered a burrito . Food was so good we even tried the habanero salsa . Highly recommend it . We will be returning to this restaurant. read more

The food and service were fantastic and just a great place of PCH. We had ceviche, tacos and few drinks. The service was friendly and offered great recommendations. Dog friendly too read more

I'm very picky when it comes to Mexican cuisine. The physical space was fantastic with a nice open area for seating. The service was great and the chips and salsa were fantastic and I ordered crispy Carnitas with rice and beans and flour tortillas and it was extremely delicious. I highly recommend this establishment and will most certainly go back! read more

My new favorite Mexican restaurant in Redondo Beach. It has a small parking lot behind the restaurant and it gets busy after 5pm. The inside has lots of tables and a bar area. There was some Luis Miguel music playing in the background. They give you complimentary chips with 3 types of salsa. Delicious . We had Chile Relleno and a blackened chicken salad and both were so good. Our waiter was super friendly and very efficient. We'll definitely be back! read more

Probably our new favorite Mexican food spot! My wife, son and I came on a weekend evening and the place wasn't busy at all. We were greeted and seated right away. The chips and salsa alone are worth going back for. It's complimentary and they keep it coming. I ordered their burrito with carne asada, my wife got their chicken tortilla soup, and my son got the kids quesadilla with barbacoa. We all enjoyed our food and their portion sizes are nice. Everything tasted fresh, great quality meats, and delicious flavor. We still had room to share a flan for dessert. Wasn't my favorite as I wanted to try the churros, but it was solid. Would definitely come back and try other items or even get the same thing. Hope you check it out too and enjoy! read more

Good experience for a spur-of-the-moment walk-in. We ordered the fish taco, carnitas taco, and the mixed fish and shrimp ceviche. The fish taco was the standout: plump, well seasoned, and genuinely delicious. The ceviche was just okay; I wish the pepper flavor came through more. I appreciated that they give each table three house salsas, and they do have their own parking lot (I ended up parking across the street since I didn't know that beforehand). Overall, a solid visit, not quite a standout, but enjoyable. read more

Parking available alongside the building. Outdoor/indoor Bar seating, great for a party or company event! read more

Some of the best Mexican food I've had i a long time. I mean we enjoyed ourselves so much that we dined again 2 days later. So let's get into it: Service ***** ( those are stars ;) They blew our minds when they accommodated my husband special request for chilaquiles. This dish was only offered on their brunch menu but not only did they offer to make it for him they allowed him to customize it. Lol Food***** Fire! We tried several dishes between our two night rendezvous and not one dish disappointed even the horchata was good. Decor**** It's cute but Does it really matter? They place is clean . They were constantly wiping tables and clearing tables so that dishes didn't pile up and Sweeping floors after spills. Basically ... you should visit! And enjoy.... And Thank me l read more

My daughter and I went on a walk today and decided to check out Maderos for happy hour. Tacos are $3.50 and the house margarita is $8 before 6pm. She got the kids quesadilla and I got the shrimp, barbacoa and carne tacos. We went around 5:30 and we were one of the first tables. We sat outside, which was relaxing. They start you off with chips and salsa, but the salsa is actually a salsa trio, very nice touch and I loved these salsa options for my tacos! Minus one star because none of the food we ordered stood out to me significantly. It was all good but nothing was epic. However, I'll visit again due to the location, the friendly service, a great happy hour and the salsa trio! read more

We do not live in the area and when we are in the area we like to pay Maderos a visit. This time we had a giant burrito, carne asada plate and the chile relleno again because they make the rellenos in house and are sooo good. There is plenty of seating inside and out. A nice bar area with televisions. The restrooms are inside and were clean. There is parking in back as well as on the street. Keep in mind this is a very busy area, but it is worth the busy PCH traffic. The margaritas are always perfect and the chips and three different salsas are a wonderful plus. The staff is always friendly and we can count on a great experience whenever we visit. read more

Been coming here for years! Our go to Mexican restaurant... all family owned, nothing corporate. Wonderful, sincere service and desire to make your meal special. Terrific food, love the chile relleno, carnitas , and chile verde. So glad they are in our neighborhood. We always feel welcome and appreciated. read more

Came in on a Wednesday afternoon with my mom and aunt. This restaurant was recommended by a family friend. We were the only patrons there. The ambiance was nice. Bathrooms were clean. Outdoor patio that was dog friendly. The service was phenomenal and everyone was sooooo kind. We had a fajita plate, wet burrito, and enchiladas. They were slamming! We also were serve complimentary chips and salsa. It was delicious! We are definitely coming back!! read more

Maderos is a small, modern Mexican restaurant in the heart of Redondo Beach. I came with friends as soon as they opened for Sunday brunch and it was not busy at all. Although, people started flowing in closer to noon. The menu has typical Mexican American fare (not quite typical "brunch" items). We tried the tacos, enchiladas, and chile relleno. The relleno was good, not spicy at all, and the enchiladas verde were very good - lots of chicken. The tacos were okay - nothing special. The carnitas and barbacoa though were better than the shrimp which was not good unfortunately. I also tried a watermelon mojito which was way too sweet, not refreshing like others I've had. Maybe stick to their tequila cocktails. The service was friendly. In particular , the busser was very accommodating and generous with chips and salsa which we very much appreciated. Overall this was a good spot to eat for locals but not a place I would make an effort to drive back to. read more

Food was good, great service and very nice ambiance. Will be coming back to try out some more dishes.

Good service; Arturo went out of his way. Food and drinks ok. Ambience not good. Could do with some art, flowers or greenery and some candles to improve the spartan environment. Suggest having a non spicy salsa for the salsa and dip. read more

As soon as we walked in the staff was welcoming and friendly. The food took a moderate time to come out and the were busy during the time. When they saw the water run low or chips and salsa be running low they immediately offered to refill. The food waa delicious as well as the dessert. Would definitely return and recommend this place. read more

Good and drinks weee delicious. Taking the whole family back tomorrow for another birthday celebration

While driving around the area, we got hungry so we decided to stop. We were really craving Mexican food so decided to stop by since we have passed this restaurant quite a few times. Our waitress and waiter were great. They were friendly and welcomed us to their place. The restaurant wasn't too packed on a Saturday afternoon. The dining area was really nice and clean. There are plenty of areas to be seated. We ordered the carne asada and carnitas plate with rice and beans. Everything tasted great. I think the carnitas were my favorite out of both plates. The rice and beans were authentic and cooked perfectly. Lots of good food on the menu so we will be back if we are in the area. We want to go back for their signature molcajete so hopefully it will be soon. read more

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the South Bay. Delicious traditional dishes with tons of flavor. The carnitas are super good and so is the Veracruz fillet. The staff are super friendly and passionate about the food coming out of the kitchen. The margaritas are great as well, they have a full bar. Nice outdoor seating area, even at night. Highly recommend read more

Food was good. The kid menu however was less so. My kids been and cheese burrito came late and the beans tasted like they were canned. The service what okay they were very helpful but if you don't speak Spanish it will be hard for you to order. The place is big and we didn't have to wait. Outdoor seating is cute and had heaters. read more

This is a family-owned Mexican restaurant on PCH in Redondo Beach. The first time we ate here was for my husband's birthday. We sat outside in their covered patio. It was comfortable, but a little noisy with traffic whizzing by on busy PCH. We sat inside the next time we visited. Both times, we were greeted promptly and served complimentary chips and a trio of salsas. Believe me when I tell you that these chips are addicting. I had their fried fish both times and others had their combo meals. Portions were generous and prices fair. I hear there's happy hour during weeknights. Free parking in their lot that they share with another business. read more
