Taco N Madre = tacos so good you'll slap your mama.
I think that's the rough translation but I don't speak Spanish, so don't quote me. Their tacos were INCREDIBLE and I don't even like Mexican food. At least, I didn't think I liked Mexican but this place has me convinced that I've been doing it all wrong.
The boy and I were in the area looking for lunch. Yelp led us to a nondescript industrial plaza near Rockdale Tennis Center. The décor is more welcoming inside with its bright turquoise and orange walls decked out with Mexican art. The dining room was spotless with several tables and mounted TVs.
It's one of those order at the counter places but it took us a second to get our arms around the large menu. All the food is made from scratch. Handheld items include tacos, burritos, gorditas, sopes, nachos, tortas, quesadillas, tlayudas, pupusas and flautas. The plates are made with your choice of meat (pollo, carne asada, barbacoa, carnitas, chorizo, al pastor or lengua) with rice and beans.
We both got lunch special taco plates: two tacos with rice and beans...chicken for me and barbacoa for him. They looked like ordinary tacos but every bite was perfection. Soft, handmade corn tortillas...moist, spiced, slow-cooked meat...fresh herbs...a total flavor party!!! We washed it down with Jarritos and cane sugar Mexican Coke.
The food was ridiculously cheap, delicious and we could taste the care that was cooked into it. Definitely check out Taco N Madre when you're in the area.
