The food was very very good. We had the Queso-Birria Taco Plate, I loved the fresh cilantro. We had a Margarita which was the best I've had in a very long time. The service was great and we didn't have to wait long for the food. We will definitely go back and try something else on the menu. Note: even the menu's were clean.

I was a bit skeptical with the poor reviews Madre Loca has, but I was pleasantly surprised! The…read moreatmosphere is typical of a Mexican cuisine establishment,l. It was clean and we were permitted to choose our seat rather than being forced to sit next to every other family in a "section." They have a big menu, and the prices are very affordable. Both my husband and I ordered burritos and fountain drinks and a side of guac and only paid $25. The portions are big also! The food came out SO quickly. I was stunned! At first I thought maybe they have packaged premade items that they microwave, but everything tasted fresh and was neither soggy or burnt. Just a fast and efficient chef apparently. The staff was friendly as well. We left a good tip. They have volleyball leagues in the summer if that's something you like also. My only complaint is they charge extra for a side of guac and they serve it in a shot glass sized cup enough for 1 chip.

For a mexican restaurant about as far away as you can get from Mexico without speaking canadien,…read morethe food was not awful - it wasn't the best or anything to write home about, but it was edible. we would come here once or twice a month when nobody felt like cooking. That was until the last time we came and saw the (attached) sign on the door. wow. so "government handouts" are the reason your hours are reduced? Look, I don't want to be slapped in the face with your trumpian politics when all I want is a mediocre burrito. I wondered why everytime we went, there was always a different server . . . seems to me the issue madre loca is having is not GETTING help - but KEEPING help. for the prices charged - which are not cheap - you would think maybe paying your employees decently or maybe even treating them like one SHOULD treat those making them money would be the best business practice. I read everyday about restaurants and other businesses doing just fine when they treat their employees well, (and as a business owner myself I have no trouble getting and keeping *my* employees ) so if you're going to blame "government handouts" as the reason you have to reduce hours, well, then excuse us for not contributing to said "handouts" and we'll just go on down to Elk River where the REAL Mexican restaurant is. The only reason you get more than one star is the surfer dude server was really good the time we had him. ps. trump lost. get over it snowflake.

Portion sizes were VERY generous. I never saw a much an enormous burrito! I had an Alambre which I never heard of, but loved.

Burritos you can't go wrong with, they're very good. They also have a kids menu if you have little ones. If it's busy, be patient. And be kind.
