Taco Madre is your go-to taqueria in Gowanus for authentic tacos and quirky snacks like Madrelocos, with friendly service and tasty house-made hot sauces.
Authentic Mexican tacos. The Mayan taco is my favorite. The vegan soy chorizo had a delicious flavor. Nice customer service. The young man working the counter was very helpful walking me through the menu. Will definitely return

The food is pretty tasty and the workers are friendly. Good sauce selection and tastes.
But the portion felt super tiny for the cost ($14.69 for maybe half the filling you'd get from a Chipotle burrito). Thats the main issue. That said, they also don't have a by-name system, so it was a little weird to have someone get the same dish I paid for before me, even though they ordered after me (they just called out the food item and gave it to the guy because he said "me" first). They should also have a few cheap chairs out so customers can sit while they wait for food.

I just had my third lunch from this spot. The home made hot sauces are extraordinary. The burritos outclass chipotle or the other taco places nearby. The Chile relleno taco was especially delicious. This is a much needed affordable and delicious lunch option for the area.

The real deal. Started with 2 Al Pastor tacos -- from the incredible tortilla (it does make a difference) to the grilled, pickled red onion on top, it was delicious. Their house-made habanero sauce is solid. Also enjoyed a Soy Chorizo taco which is a tasty vegan choice. Welcome to the neighborhood, Madre, I'll be back soon.

It was pretty good, portions are a little smaller than expected. Got two green salsa’s, fresh chips and the queso is good.

Got a mocha here, worst mocha of my life. Tastes like water with low quality coco powder. Don’t do coffee here
