I'll be coming back here for tacos and tortas. Like sooner rather than later because this place was a delicious, delectable and delightful find. Thanks Yelp... as the spot we'd originally selected was surprisingly closed, the next spot was doing some sort of ridiculous limited Cinco de Mayo menu that looked lame..so the third spot, Taco N Madre was definitely the charm. I'm so so glad we stopped by as the whole meal was just really tasty. Chips and salsa came out first, and the salsa was super flavorful and seemed very promising for good things in our future. Next up, some giant and delicious aguas, mango for my friend, pepino con limón for me. Both heartily enjoyed. He was so enamored that he got one for the ride home. Next up...a giant, super delicious cubana torta. Not going to lie, I'm always about the tacos, but friend suggested splitting a torta, and as a cheerful glutton, why would I say no? Okay. Said torta was ginormous, the telera was grilled yet still soft, and it was loaded with all sorts of stuff, including a delectable milanesa that wasn't listed...although I fully think of cubanas as having unlimited possibilities in their composition. At any rate, it all worked and we both inhaled our respective halves. I would seriously consider ordering tortas from them again. And again, they're not normally my thing, but I may have turned over a new leaf after today! On to the tacos. Omg. So good. From the tortillas on down. They don't skimp on the lines, their salsas were great, everything was Just fab. Crispy tripa, tender lengua, perfectly seasoned carnitas. The suadero was also moist and tender, as was the al pastor. Next visit, I might skip the pastor and try the asada or campechana: for whatever reason, I'm getting pickier and pickier about my al pastor and while it was tasty, it was probably my least favorite of the five tacos. Tacos are single tortilla here, which I don't mind at all...it's less filling and these were handmade perfection that didn't crumble apart. My friend grumbled about the size, but I thought they were perfectly proportioned and just so so good. Sure, I've had tacos with more filling but these seemed just perfect. I really really enjoyed this spot. Also our server was Spanish speaking and we did just fine with my oddly accented childlike but totally able to get around español but it was very nice that her coworker did come back around just to be sure we weren't having any problems after she'd helped her other tables. Basically very friendly and kind people work here and finding this place felt like it was my lucky day. I'm an absolute fan and will be back for more.
