Wow! Wow! Wow! It's been years since I have eaten at this place and I'm so glad that I decided to go back! The original building had a fire so they are set up down the street as a food truck with a separate place if you want to eat in. When you see it from the outside, you might say to yourself, maybe I should go someplace else. It doesn't look like much! However, once you get inside, the service is fabulous and the food is even better! The owner came over to greet me and to say hello and that was a nice touch. I got the Barbacoa green chili enchiladas, and they were out of this world! The meat was tender and just full of flavor! Since this is just a temporary place, they don't have any alcohol I believe. But who needs it when they're giving you flavor like this! A lot of times when you go to a Mexican restaurant, the flavor comes from the sauce and not necessarily the meat. This was just the opposite. The meat was amazing and the green chili sauce was a perfect compliment! I can't recommend this place enough! They are expected to move back into their original location in December. I will definitely be there for that! read more

Even at their food truck location, Cocina Madrigal continues to impress. I am usually not a fan of corn tortillas and prefer flour tortillas, but theirs are so soft and smooth you could easily mistake one for the other. The enchiladas are still my favorite dish. Can't wait to eat on regular plates and with silverware, but they have plans to move back in May, so all will be back to normal. read more

Hands down, best tacos I've had in Phoenix!!! I got 2 steak tacos and 1 pastor. The pastor was a solid 8/10, but the steak...easily a 10/10. The meat was charred perfectly and they use Gorgonzola cheese, which is such a great addition. Crispy onions and peppers. Cannot wait to show my kids this place. The server was very helpful and the outside seating (there's inside too) was perfect for this time of year. I highly recommend. read more

Food was great. We got the steak tacos - they had fried jalapeño and Gorgonzola cheese and the Barbacoa enchiladas Tacos were my favorite unfortunately I didn't get a photo. The restaurant itself had a fire so while they're rebuilding they have a limited menu and have a small dining room. The staff were friendly and helpful. read more

Outstanding food and service!! It looks like a "hole in the wall" place but as usual, those are the best!! Best tacos I've ever had and their guacamole is unparalleled!! I highly recommend it! The drink selections are limited but the food is not!! Enjoy!! read more

Well for starters I wish I knew it was a temporary location. And because of the temporary location They were not serving drinks. The staff were super nice and inviting until we told him we were only ordering guacamole and two hibiscus juice. After we told him that his was angry and a jerk. Maybe would have been better at their other location but we want somewhere else and had great drinks and dinner. read more

While it is a food truck kitchen, they have inside dining. The food was AMAZING. We had made to order guacamole that was in the top 2% of guacamole I've ever had. Due to personal preferences and health reasons, I rarely eat beef. However, their beef is marinated in pomegranate and I wanted to try it. O. M. G. It has been decades since I had such flavorful, tender, and delicious steak. If I lived around here I'd be eating it regularly. Try it in a steak quesadilla, you will not regret it. read more

CLOSED FOR RENOVATION!!!!!!! Food truck open We drove 30 minutes only to find out you are closed (temporarily) I was on yelp and your website several times before I drove there!!! WTH. Please update your website!!!!!!! read more

Honestly the best Mexican food I've ever had. The guac was unreal, green chile enchiladas same. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I can't overstate how good the guac was. read more

Extremely welcoming and friendly staff. The setup seems a little odd with the small food truck in the parking lot and the converted dining room where you sit. But fear not, the food is well worth the unconventional approach. They're working on getting back to their permanent place across the street but the food was fantastic. Mushroom enchilada was incredible and they allowed me to order just one b/c I also got the 3 tacos. All of them were terrific. My wife ordered the charred romaine salad which we were both curious about and it did not disappoint. Really original and delicious! Leo the owner sat with us for a couple minutes and everyone was friendly, welcoming but not overbearing. My only complaint is the price of the guac @ $13.95, same as we paid for the entree salad. Looking forward to a return visit when they get back in the new spot. read more

This place was highly recommend through Yelp. So my Yelp Friend Michelle and I decided to try it. Parking was difficult. There lot is small and there is a neighborhood where people are parking in. Once parked you go inside and it's a bit small. We were sat at a table with two seats next to the restroom. Michelle had called to make and rsvp and this is where they sat us. There food was mediocre and isn't somewhere I would say has the best Mexican food. The tortillas are made fresh which was good but everything else was ok. They also charged us a fee and wouldn't let us split our bill which was odd. Needless to say we won't be back. read more

Service 10/10. Food 10/10. They had a fire and are rebuilding so no margaritas currently, but I don't think we missed out because that left us room for their churros. A gem of a find all around! Leo, the owner, came out to check on us and chatted among the patrons. You can tell he pours himself into all aspects of his business. Recommended highly! read more

Cocina Madrigal - agua fresca before the food arrived (the guacamole hiding behind the hibiscus was fresh and light) - Tacos Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Food came fast and hot. Delicious and interesting. It's in a really weird location but worth the trip. The indoor seating is in a prefab home/church but everything is clean and comfortable. Service was informative and attentive. We had the steak mango salad, tacos, and churros. All of it was good and arrived promptly. No alcohol but had great aguas frescas and soft drinks in glass bottles. Plenty of parking and an outdoor patio as well. We'll come back next time we're in town! read more

Since the fire, Cocina Madrigal has set up operations near its historic location. No worries...the food is still great and the service is spectacular. Come by, support this great eatery in South Phoenix!! read more

Great service and incredible food. So glad we checked this place out. The mushroom enchiladas are so good. I added steak on the recommendation of our server. Yum! 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

Wanted to take my Fiancé to one of my favorite restaurants in AZ while we were in town. Didn't realize they had a fire and are operating out of a food truck. Was a bit worried but the food was exactly how I remembered it! We got a mix of everything since we like to share food tapas style. Our favorites were the mushroom enchiladas, the al pastor tacos, and of course the churro's (still my favorite churro ever)! The staff was very friendly and we even got to meet the owner! Can't wait to visit again! read more

This is their temporary location, while they rebuild the original location after a kitchen fire. The food is extraordinary, So delicious and tortillas made by hand when you order! We love it and can't wait for new build completion read more

With as high of a rating as Cocina Madrigal has, I knew I had to check them out. From the outside it doesn't look like much but it's the food and service that makes it all worth it. My friend and I came for lunch after a day of hiking and enjoyed the weather on the outdoor patio. It's easy to judge right off the bat by the chips & salsa and they passed the test. Just the right amount of spicy and flavor. For an entree I had one mushroom enchilada and one barbacoa. I actually ended up liking the mushroom the best. It was super flavorful & unique. The barbacoa was just alright. I'll definitely be back again if I'm ever in town. A great spot to grab lunch or dinner. read more

Broke my heart when it closed. My wife and I were honestly confused on where to go for our regular date nights. So glad it's back. The food quality did not go down. Please support this place, it's been the best of AZ for a long time and I'd want that to continue. The A/C is honestly a little better in the new "food truck" area, haha. It's pretty much a restaurant with its current set up. read more

Excellent!! on my flight and I checked options. Cucina Madrigal pop to the top as one of Yelp top 100 in the United States so I decided to give it a shot. The food is excellent and well worth five stars. The guacamole was one of the best I've had in my entire life fully tasting of avocado with a slight slight heat and background onion. The chips were crispy and very fresh. I also enjoyed the mix and match beef and mushroom enchiladas. The mushroom enchilada definitely lived up to the hype. I am pretty far off the vegan or vegetarian scene and was hesitant to add the mix and match mushroom, but I was psyched that I did. It was off the hook. It definitely tasted of nice fresh mushrooms. The beef enchilada was also spectacular. It was accompanied by black beans and rice, which were perfect. I split an order of the street corn, which was also excellent. read more

Don't waste your time coming here until the remodel is done. Hopefully the food and service will get back to normal.

Ambiance. As we pulled into the lot from street, it completely reminded me of the movie from Bridesmaids where maid of honor Annie brings the bridesmaids and bride to an exotic, South American restaurant in the middle of nowhere and feels a little sketch. But the reviews were excellent and parking lot was full. Inside, the hosts took a minute to acknowledge. Glad we had reservations. It was busy. Seats about 50 inside; 80 outside? They accommodated our request to sit outside; we sat in front patio; basic, cafeteria like table and chairs. Nothing fancy. Loos were clean, stocked. Food. Wow... Fresh. Good portion. Authentic. Reviews were correct. Top 100 places list is correct. Pics say more. Service. Though host was on the slow, the service was tops. He was a pro. Accommodating, knowledgeable, super friendly, gracious about drinks delayed. WROTE down a list of recommendations for other places to check out in the city after inquiring. True foodie and industry veteran. He gave great details of his recommendations and where to get local tortilla press. Overall. A. We were so satisfied. Total diamond. Raving about it all on drive back to resort. read more

The taco's were the best we've had in a super long time! We live in Florida and we're visiting Phoenix. We decided to stop here for lunch. So glad we did! We got the Al Pastor taco marinated pork with roasted pineapple, pickled red onion, cilantro and Sonoran salsa, Oaxaca Shrimp taco mango coconut cabbage slaw and avocado cream taco and Beef Tenderloin Steak Toco pomegranate marinade, chipotle. We definitely recommend these and you won't be disappointed. For dessert we got the Churros Bavarian cream filled with creme anglaise and carmel sauce. This was the best Churros we've EVER had. If you are in Phoenix you must stop by. Service was very friendly. We sat outside and the weather was so nice. read more

Food is the same menu as the original and excellent, service is so friendly and easy, they are trying hard to stay afloat while they rehab the original which had a fire. So support them but be prepared due to the rebuild and temporary food truck service , dishware is take out and last time I went no bar yet. But makes it unique and appreciate their struggles and work to survive and feed us great food. read more

We were met by the Chef and Owner who personally sat our group at the outside seating area. They are renovating the main restaurant building and we were at their temporary facility. All the food was scratch made and delicious especially the made to order guacamole. Recommend this restaurant very highly. Near the airport. read more

Solid Mexican food in the area! I went here around 2pm to get a substantial meal before festival weekend. I went with a friend and got enough food for 2 meals - chicken quesadilla, grilled elote, and 1 of each of the enchiladas (chicken, beef birria, wild mushroom, barbacoa green chile). The place still felt busy, but there are reservations you can make on the Yelp app, but I opted not to since we weren't sure when we actually eat, and 2pm is kind of an off hour and there was ample reservation time slots 15 minutes at a time, and we were able to still immediately walk in without a reservation. The chicken quesadilla is pretty heavy and filling in itself, so it is a very substantial appetizer. One order is sufficient for a meal. It is cheesy and has ample amount of chicken. We opted off the cob for grilled elote for ease of sharing. The corn is fairly sweet and pairs well with the aioli and cotija cheese, and it is one of the better elotes I have tried. On paper, we got 1 of each of the enchiladas but that is because we got 2 portions of enchiladas, where one portion has 2 enchiladas. You get to mix and match which is great and ideal for my foodie preferences where I love variety. 2x2 = 4 and there are 4 types of enchiladas, so that was perfect to try all of them! The chicken one is okay for me but my friend loved it. I just didn't prefer it as much because the chicken felt a little dry to me. The beef birria one is good - it has a bit of a cinnamon + chili flavor and is fairly rich. The mushroom one is a lot better than I thought, as I am not too big of a fan of mushrooms. Pairing with the avocado and pico de gallo on top, this enchilada is very delicious. The barbacoa green chile is also pretty good, as the beef is very tender. Service is good as the food is delivered at a good interval and checks up on us once in a while. Any additional requests we were able to easily flag the server and they were fulfilled adequately. read more

I travel the US tasting tacos. And I will say HANDS DOWN the Barbacoa Taco is THE BEST taco I've had to date. Their mushroom Enchilada... is absolutely delicious. The best!! The restaurant is renovating, so we walked over to the food truck. They have parking and a cute patio for seating. The service was SO VERY friendly and clear options on ordering. I loved that I could mix and match my tacos or enchiladas. The food smelled so good. The food tasted so good. Tortillas are fresh handmade. Great care to ingredients. Met the chef and owner Leo...very friendly. I love owners and chef that want to get to know the customers and hear opinions on their food. This place is a gem. Will definitely be back. I hope their restaurant gets renovated and rebuilt after the fire. My Hispanic GF loved the food, she wished she ordered TWO Mushroom Enchilladas. We are from Los Angeles and I will say...hands down better than LA tacos. And I've eaten a LOT of tacos. This place has balanced elevated flavor. read more

The location was busy when we arrived but we had a table reserved so had no problem getting in. Service was friendly and fast - 10/10 there. My water never went without a refill! The ambiance was a little lacking - it was cute but the doors kept opening near our table so it was a little chilly and the ceiling looks to need a refresh (it was sort of sinking in the middle). Nothing major, just a few things that took away from the overall vibe. The food was average in my opinion. I got the chicken enchiladas and they lacked flavor - I added some salsa from our chips basket and it helped a little. The chips and salsa were good, salsa had a kick! The churros for dessert were good but had a strange custard type filling but I think that's common around here. read more

What an amazing experience! Get ready to join the rows of cars lining the street next to Cocina Madrigal! Chef-Owner Leo is creates magical madrigals that make you want to sing.

Amazing, Delicious and Authentic. The original location is going through renovations so the location changed to a food truck dynamic, but that did not take away from the excellent service or the delicious food.
