Cocina Madrigal Tacos Tequila - Phoenix

This restaurant has something truly special, thanks to their delicious dishes and outstanding waitstaff! I tried the Oaxaca fundido tacos, which are the best tacos I've ever had, and the mushrooms in the fundido are simply amazing! Mario provided us with excellent recommendations and was fantastic throughout our visit. Thank you, Cocina Madrigal, for serving up such wonderful food in Phoenix! Food: 5/5

Now I understand why this place is ranked #1 in the area. I 'd say it 's the best authentic Mexican we 've EVER had... yes, EVER! We 've had a fave salsa (in Missouri), but it 's been beat out by the salsa here. Perfect consistency w- just the right amount of 'kick '. Their guac is freshly made and has big chunks of avocado in it. Yummers! If you get the tacos (3), you can mix and match vs. going with all of them being one kind. Don 't be disappointed when they come out as they are on the smaller side. Here 's why I loved them so much- there wasn 't a ton of stuff on them. It was almost ALL MEAT! They know what they 're doing here. I got the pork and chicken. My fav was the chicken. Hubby got the pork and steak and he like the steak better... don 't get us wrong because the port is great, too. Ambiance-wise?... it 's pretty loud in there, but the service was attentive and it was kept nice and clean.

A real hole in the wall, but due to the good reviews on TA our family group of 12 visited before a baseball game. Wow Glad we did! The chips were warm and crunchy, the beer was cold, the margaritas were yummy, and the beef tenderloin tacos were the BEST I’ve ever had! The marinade is truly delicious. Chef and owner Leo visited with us, thanked us for coming, and shared stories of his time in Houston which is where we were all from. A very delightful meal…I just wish this Cocina was closer to home!

The staff was outstanding—friendly and attentive! The food was outstanding as well. I ordered the steak tacos, which were bursting with flavor, and the steak was cooked to perfection. My wife had the wild mushroom enchiladas, and every bite was packed with rich mushroom flavor! The guacamole was also delicious. Thank you, Cocina Madrigal, for a wonderful dining experience!

Yes it can be a bit loud and they may have squeezed a few too many tables into the place and it’s not in the high rent district but every time we’ve been there, we’ve had a very good meal. Definitely recommended
