WOW!!! (1) customer service is freaking INCREDIBLE! Friendly, welcoming, sincere. (2) food is AMAZING!!! I didn't get to try all that much as it was only me but these enchiladas are delish... the mushroom enchilada is by far the BEST vegetarian enchilada I have ever had! read more

Cocina Madrigal - Mushroom enchilada and beef enchilada plate - Tacos Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

There is a reason Cocina Madrigal was voted Yelp's #1 restaurant in 2022. The restaurant itself is currently under renovation, so service is happening out of their food truck for now. Because of that we cannot really speak to the usual interior or ambiance. We did sit on the patio during our visit though, and it ended up being perfect. The weather was beautiful and it made for a really great outdoor dining moment. We were greeted quickly when we arrived and were told we could sit either inside or outside. Service throughout the meal was friendly, attentive, helpful, and the team kept things running smoothly even with the temporary setup. But the food is where this place really shines. We started with Guacamole de Casa, which comes with chips and salsa. Fresh, bright, and a great way to start off the meal. For our mains we ordered Beef Tenderloin Steak Tacos with pomegranate marinade, chipotle aioli, fried peppers and onions, and gorgonzola cheese. These tacos were incredible. The flavors were layered and bold and honestly I am drooling a little just typing this out. We also tried the Barbacoa Green Chile Enchiladas made with slow roasted beef and New Mexican Hatch green chile sauce. Rich, savory, and packed with flavor. To drink we had agua frescas, jamaica and piña, which were both refreshing and perfect alongside the food. Dessert absolutely delivered, too! The churros are dusted with cinnamon sugar, filled with cream, and come with a sweet glaze for dipping. So good! Our server also let us know about a coconut cream pie that was not listed on the menu and we are glad that he did. It was one of the best coconut cream pies I have had, topped with toasted coconut shavings and full of coconuty deliciousness. It is the little details and thoughtful flavor combinations that this place really nails. If you are looking for one Mexican restaurant to take visiting friends or family, or you just want a truly memorable meal, this is an easy pick. With so many awards and accolades, it is very easy to see why this place gets so much love. read more

I was in the area and decided to try Cocina Madrigal. I got there and I had totally forgotten it has burned down, but... A sign said they had a good truck. They've opened up a trailer in a dirt parking lot. I sat down and was told the food is the same and the restaurant will reopen in about three months. I had the chicken and barbacoa enchiladas. They came in a container with plastic silverware and a can soda. The rice and beans were fine. The barbacoa enchilada was good. The chicken enchilada was great. Look forward to coming back once they reopen. read more

Prior location still under renovation but makes no difference to the spectacular taste creations Chef Leo manages from a food truck kitchen in a Church parking lot. More limited menu (miss the veggie tacos) but otherwise plenty of parking and both outdoor and indoor a/c seating. Leo is just the nicest and most humble person who really appreciates your patronage. Great staff of friendly servers as you'd expect. I travel a lot but this is always a must stop when in Phoenix. read more

Wow wow wow! What a gem! We don't live in the state, but we came looking for good food from the Phoenix airport. And boy, the reviews did not disappoint! Service was exceptional - fast and friendly, full of great suggestions. The temporary location is quaint and well maintained with a comforting vibe. But the food! My gosh! We started with the guacamole and enjoyed the habanero salsa that was well balanced on the spice level. We tried the Wild Mushroom Enchiladas and the Al Pastor burrito. The mole sauce was so good, I could have licked the container! The Al Pastor was also vibrant and fresh and packed full of flavor. I might move to this state just to be a regular at this place. A definitive 5 star experience! read more

If you blink, you might miss the entrance, but even if you do... turn around, it's absolutely worth it. Quaint and unassuming from the outside, it has a charming homey vibe. Inside is more spacious with ample tables, booths, and a small bar. The blue interior keeps the mood chill, and the music was just right for the ambiance. I honestly just wanted some authentic, non-chain Mexican food and this absolutely hit the spot. I asked for recommendations and was offered the breaded whitefish with accompanying flour tortilla shells, rice, and beans. While I waited and dug into the chips and salsa, I was unprepared for that flavor bomb. It's definitely not the standard fare tomato salsa, but has a depth of flavor and uniqueness to it that's hard to pinpoint. I was still noshing on it even after finishing my meal. The plate arrived with a massive, but delicately fried filet of whitefish, hot and crispy breading when I sliced it into taco-able chunks. I was brought some standard ranch as well as chipotle ranch for the salad and the chipotle was the right choice. There is a sizable bucket of fresh hot sauces on each table and I didn't spare one from the taste test. My absolute favorite that complimented the fish was the la guacamayo and I took home a bottle for good measure (purchased...). The fish was delicate, perfectly fried, lightly breaded, and didn't sit heavy at all. The rice was pretty standard fare and if I had to nitpick anything, I'd love to see the beans have a little more flier and substance to the plate. All in all, an absolute winner and if I'm ever back in phoenix; I WILL be hitting this wonderful restaurant again. read more

Excellent food and excellent service!!!! The restaurant had a fire and while they rebuild, they are using location across the street for a dining room and operating out of a food truck. Everything is made to order and so fresh. The steak taco was my fav by far and the shrimp was a close second. The service was wonderful and everyone was so so so nice. Def stop and have a taco and some fresh guac! read more

While the food is just as good as ever, sadly a major fire has the restaurant relocated to a temporary building down a small side street (follow signs for Food Truck) and as the temporary kitchen is a food truck, there are a few menu limitations (no booze being the main one)). They still have my wife's favorites-steak tacos and my go to -the meaty chicken enchiladas. For now, the Food is served in takeout containers but they have ample seating inside and out in the temporary space and most importantly the same strong customer service and friendliness. While they work to rebuild, they need our dining dollars more than ever so make a point to over there and get some of their great chow! read more

This place was some of the most authentic Mexican food I've had in the area. They are currently under construction so the restaurant isn't as nice which I didn't mind since I ordered take out. This seemed like a family owned restaurant. The lady who took our orders was very friendly and talkative. The employees were very attentive as well. I ordered three tacos: shrimp, Al Pastor, and Steak. Out of three I found the Steak to be the best one. There was some fried potatoes and cheese to go with it and the steak was not dry at all, had lots of flavor. Al Pastor was also solid I wish they put more pineapple in there. If I were to go back I'd probably order 2 steak and one Al pastor taco, the shrimp was alright. I'm glad that they did stuff the tacos with a good amount of meat. One thing to note is the prices for most of the entrees are about $18-$20 pre-tax so expect to pay a little more. Overall if you don't mind the price I'd say this place is pretty solid if you're looking for quick authentic Mexican food. 7.7/10. read more

Absolutely, fantastic, establishment. The service was TOP NOTCH, their salsa is some of the best salsa I've ever had, and the food was better than any local Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. Altogether, my party ordered one of each of their tacos, the enchiladas, the green chili appetizer, and the churros for dessert. My steak and barbacoa tacos were PHENOMENAL, so good that after they hit the table I didn't even hesitate to dig in and only after it was all gone did I realize I didn't take a single picture!! I would HIGHLY recommend trying it out if you are visiting, and if you live around here make sure to bring a huge party and try one of everything!! Indoor, outdoor seating, misters if the sun is beating down too much, and the nicest staff who are happy to help in any and every way. 10 out of 10 dinner choice, hands down. read more

As always the food and service is outstanding!! The temp building is clean and quiet. We will be back time and time again. If you are reading this please stop and and support this fantastic family owned business read more

Best tacos and service. Have been wanting to try for years finally made it happen today for lunch. Servers are super friendly and attentive. Guac / chips are both amazing. I had three tacos; shrimp, beef tenderloin, and the al pastor. All three were amazing. Could've been the owner but as I was leaving a guy approached and asked how everything was, thanked me for the business and said he hopes I return... makes all the difference. They really know what they are doing here. Place is 5 stars even without an actual restaurant. Can't wait till they reopen in December will definitely be back to support them. Could not recommend enough! read more

I am so happy this place is still around. I would drop in frequently to get the Jerk Chicken Sandwich. It was a grilled chicken breast with lettuce, tomato, onion, and sauce all on a delicious bun. I would always get fries as my side. At some point last year, the building was closed. I kept watching for it to reopen and finally earlier this year as I was driving down 16th Street, I saw a sign on the corner of Wood St 'Cocina Madrigal Food Truck' with an arrow pointing down the side street I was so happy and finally made my way there. The menu is condensed so no Jerk Chicken Sandwich, but everything else like tacos, burritos, guacamole, quesadillas etc is still available. The reopening of the building is scheduled for December 2025. I can't wait. read more

I don't understand the hypes. We got the enchiladas, mushroom and beef. They were good but nothing very special. Salsa was okay

This is the temporary location for Cocina Madrigal. They have their taco truck set up just down the street from the restaurant while it's being renovated until October. There is a limited menu but they do have inside seating with service. As well as outdoor patio seating. The plates are all to go containers along with the silverware because of the location. It was nice to get some of their food again. I missed it. Today I got the mango steak salad I've had some spicy walnuts. It was quite delicious. Meat was juicy and tender and the dressing was not overwhelming with the flavor. So if you're looking to satisfy your craving like I was you have that opportunity now. The owner was there greeting customers and making sure everyone felt comfortable and invited. Everyone was great! read more

I was fortunate to be back in Phoenix and I realized it's been 5 years since I've had the opportunity to quench my appetite with the food from Cocina Madrigal. The chicken enchiladas were succulent and, in my opinion, the best green chile in the valley of the sun. The tacos al pastor and rice and beans were made from scratch and were great . The owner took tike to coldest with us and the wait staff made sure we had everything we needed . The temporary home of the restaurant has a great feel and as usual it filled up as the lunch hour heated up . It will not be 5 years until I'm back here and having lunch or dinner here and talking, the owners. Leo and Brian thank you for taking time to catch up with me . read more

Oh my glob!!!! This is phenomenal food. Sometimes you could tell with the first bite of guacamole how delicious the food is going to be. I'm from LA and just had the best shrimp taco I've ever had in Arizona. The rest of our group got the steak and el pastor so we shared. All three were delicious and unique. Service was incredible too. You're not here for the ambience, but there's some good music and artwork up on the walls. We are literally talking about coming back tomorrow! read more

So freakin good. Although it says food truck on the outside they have indoor restaurant style seating that is perfect on a hot day. The inside is clean and tastefully decorated. The food here is legit and authentic. You can taste the amazing flavors of each delicious dish. I ordered the 2 plate enchiladas and selected the mushroom and green chile one. My husband ordered the 3 tacos and was able to try different meats for each one. He picked chicken, shrimp, and the barbacoa. The star of the show for me was the mushroom enchilada. Im pretty picky about food and biting into this was delightful treat. The mushrooms were sautéed perfectly and paired nicely with the red sauce. The barbacoa meat was tender and soft and was good as well but I really liked the mushroom enchilada. For appetizers we also ordered the guacamole with bacon. This was serviced in thick chunks of fresh cut avocado and crunchy bacon on top. Delish! Our server was also super friendly and attentive. He made sure we found everything to our satisfaction and checked on us regularly. I would highly recommend this place even if you're driving out a bit further. It's way better than the overpriced Mexican places that are in downtown phoenix or central Scottsdale. I would much rather eat here any day. read more

this place is absolutely unbelievable! my family was in town to visit my brother and found this very quickly in our search for a local mexican restaurant due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews, and this place lives up to every bit of it. the best guac i have ever had, most tender and flavorful meat, delicious agua fresca, and even the tortilla chips were significantly better than others. 100% would recommend supporting them recovering from a restaurant-destroying fire while they continue to build a new one to call home! read more

My wife and I had tacos at Cocina Madrigal. The restaurant is still under renovation, but they have their food truck set up across the street with a parking lot, covered outdoor dining area with misters, and indoor dining area with air conditioning and table service. We tried the barbacoa and pastor, and both were excellent. The barbacoa tacos were chock full of tasty beef, but I preferred the pastor tacos, because the tasty pork was accompanied by pickled onions and grilled pineapple, which added a really nice contrast to the pork. The sandía (watermelon) agua fresca was terrific, too. I'm looking forward to dining in the restaurant, when it's open, again. read more

Hands down the best meal we have had in AZ! Incredibly delicious food, fabulous service and yummy churros. Outdoor seating was refreshing and comfortable. Kiddo rated the dessert as the best churros in the US! read more

Started off strong with the mango margarita - sweet, slightly tangy, and very mango-y. The got the Trio with salsa, guacamole, and Oaxaca fundido. Probably one of the best guacamoles I've ever had. I loved how all the ingredients were so finely chopped in the avocado. The fundido was savory, delicious with the chips. Enchilada - one mushroom and one birria - both tasted too and had distinct flavor profiles. I don't usually have mushrooms with Mexican food so this was a nice pairing for me, We ended with the the Churros that has the that crisp outer layer and perfectly sweet Bavarian cream filling. read more

Even at their food truck location, Cocina Madrigal continues to impress.

Amazing service for an establishment trying to get back on their feet after their original restaurant suffered from a fire! I cannot express enough about how wonderful the whole staff was and how amazing the food was. They moved their kitchen to a food truck while they rebuild and have an inside dining area for people to enjoy their food. Our server angel, was absolutely awesome with the recommendations, insights to their handmade ingredients and just their story of their restaurant. Everything was delicious and my group agreed it was the best Mexican food they've had while living here! I would recommend this to anyone and everyone, especially if it helps this place get back to their full 100%! I can't wait to try more of their menu when they're back up and running fully, as for now only part of their menu is available to order from, but it gives me something to look forward to in the future!
