The meat is seasoned beautifully, and the tortillas themselves were fried til crispy - and it's clear they were fried fresh. The rice and beans were no slouch either - everything reminded me of home. Arod's is otherwise a quaint and quiet store, with a skeleton crew running it both times I was there (and just the owner the first time). They haven't let me down - and I know I'll keep being a regular every time I'm in the area.

This is a review for delivery via a third party. I ordered…read morethe birria tacos. They had a single corn tortilla. Picked up the first one, and it fell completely apart. It was not fried either; just a soggy freaking mess. Looked like they dipped, but didn't bother to fry it. If you are fulfilling an order for delivery, WHY wouldn't you fry it and use two tortillas? Simple common sense. The street corn was bland. My drink was missing. The churros were good. Will not order from here again.

Wouldn't order again. The chicken burrito was a nice portion. It was ok though was in need of some salt and additional seasoning. Cole slaw with jalapeño slices was good. Overall not really impressed. Not sure I would bother again.

My nachos had crispy chips, fresh pico de gallo, shredded white cheese, shredded lettuce, and a mountain of guacamole.

Birria Tacos have been all-the-talk, and I finally found a spot in town to try some! I found out…read moreabout this place from by BIL, via FB (I believe). Here's the 411 directly from their website--"At Palate Pleasures, it's the Chef's Choice. Our Menu rotates every SUNDAY! Try one of our Signature Sunday Brunches or Dinners and see what everyone's talking about!" The Process:: Pre-Orders are done online--and limited! I chose curbside pick up, which involved: noting your name, contact number and selecting a pick up time (every half hour, between 12-5 PM on Sunday). Upon arrival, a quick phone call is made and food was brought out quickly. The Grub:: I ordered The Birria Box, which included--8 Shredded Beef Birria Tacos, Rice, and Beans (or you could choose 4 Shredded Beef Birria Tacos and 8 Signature Party Wings). Condiments included--Consomme (To Dip Tacos), Hot Sauce and Guacamole Salsa. Everything is so flavorful, and each condiment only took the tacos up a notch! The beef is seasoned well and got perfectly with the crunchy taco shells! The shells look like they'd be oily, but surprisingly not and add good texture. The consommé is savory and tangy, very flavorful! The hot sauce is not spicy (at least not for me--I like a lotta heat!) and remind me of a chipotle spiced-buffalo sauce. The guac salsa is like a mild, creamy salsa verde with a different tang from the hot sauce. I definitely plan to order this again, and look forward to try other items in the near future!

I went here on Sunday for the Birria Tacos and they are definitely worth the hype. If you're like…read moreme, you've been seeing these all over the internet for months. Finally found a place in Madison that does these, and they are GREAT. The dinner combo was $15and came with rice, beans, and 4 tacos as well as lime, sauces and consumme to dip the tacos in. The beans were okay, but you're not coming here for the dang beans! We had the option of steak, shredded beef, or shrimp in the tacos, we went with the shredded beef and it was phenomenal. The cheese was melty and hot, the tortillas were crispy, the beef was well seasoned. Heck, even the plating was good and it was in a styrofoam box! I will for sure check this place out again. Their website says that they have a rotating selection every Sunday. And they pics on their website look super legit. I rode my bike here and just got the tacos brought outside, they usually do curbside pick up, but there was one small table out in the parking lot that worked great for us. My only regret with this place was that I didn't order more!

I never see memelas in a menu, and I was curious to find out if they were the real deal. And it didn't disappoint. The agua de Jamaica was fantastic. One of the best ones we'd had in the US. The service is friendly and interactive. You order and pay at the counter. I truly felt like I was back at a pueblito in Mexico.
