We were there for taco Tuesday. The server expressed how good fish tacos were so I decided to try the grilled fish tacos over the fried. 25 minutes later she comes to the table saying they no longer offer. It took 25 min for the chefs to look at the ticket. Appetizer - we ordered the eggplant pesto with balsamic drizzle and it was horrible, under cooked because the cooks cut it in 1' thick slices and obviously undercooked making the eggplant raw. It's a great place if you have two hours or no time limit at all.

While I have only sat down and eaten one time out of about the 10 that I've gotten food from here,…read moreI can definitely speak for the important part-the food! I really, really like this place. The variety of the menu is great, the prices are reasonable, and everything I've ever ordered has been so good. I think a fair way to judge a place is by a staple dish, their fries. They have such good fries Their pizza is also done in a brick pizza oven which in my opinion gives it better taste and cook Salads are good, sandwiches are good. And again, the menu variety is unbeatable

Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely enjoyable to talk with, making the visit even better. The ice cream was delicious, and we all ordered waffle cones, which had great flavor. My only suggestion would be to make the cones just a little thicker for a bit more crunch and durability. If you're in town and looking for a great way to cool off, it's hard to go wrong with this place. We'll definitely be back!

There was a huge language barrier here however I was able to communicate with the little Spanish that I know to get the task done. The menu of frozen treats is extensive to choose from. I ended up going for the Chamango which if know me...know that I love Mangos and Pineapples. However the Chamango doesn't have pineapple. Anywho, I ordered and I got my frozen treat in minutes. Honestly the price was not bad for the amount that you get. It was tart, sweet and spicy all at the same time which satisfied my cravings. It's not the best Mangonada I had but it's good for a Madera. The inside was very clean however the location is very hidden and must know basic Spanish. I spend an hour inside watching Novelas in Spanish. Overall, I had a pleasant time here. I may be back as a few of my favorite places are in the same plaza. Definitely love all the unique options they have to offer. I thought they had a flavor called "Tuna" which was like totally did not sound appetizing however Rita a fellow yelper clarified that it is a Mexican fruit that taste like watermelon and strawberry which peak my curiosity even more...so I may be back to try such flavors.

As soon as I got to where the icecream was, I could tell that the staff here are miserable. No smile, no welcome, no nothing - just blank stares. I asked for a sample and the woman snapped at me "you can have ONE". A guy scooped my sample and then gave me my icecream without saying a word. The other guy ringing me up didn't bother making eye contact with me and seemed annoyed that I added chocolates to my purchase. The icecream is alright. The gooey treats are great. the lavender truffle was very dense, which I didn't love. If you're looking for good icecream and friendly service, skip this place. The positive reviews confuse me- maybe staff is only friendly to people who look like them. For the service we recieved, I regret giving them my money.

I went in Sunday, Nov 19, 2023, around 5:25pm. 2 of the 3 workers that helped us out were great! They were nice and they asked us about lids and if we wanted anything mixed in, etc, they typical questions you normally would ask a customer. But one of the employees, didn't catch their name, but has jet back hair and bangs, that specific employee was not friendly. I had asked since we had a big order, that I'd want lids on all ice cream cups. That employee wasn't there to hear that, but when that employee handed me my nieces ice cream, which was a very simple order of Oreo ice cream with sprinkles, the sprinkles were not mixed in (i was going to let that pass since it was just sprinkles) and there was a spoon in the ice cream. BUT here's the kicker, i said "oh actually I'd like a lid please." the employee gave me the lid, so all is great but to my surprise, the now dirty spoon that was in the ice cream, ended up in our bag with all other ice creams. Getting the bag dirty. So that's the first thing that happened. Secondly, i ordered mint and sweet cream with gram cracker pie crust and COOKIE DOUGH, as you can see by the picture no part of my order was mixed, not the ice creams or toppings. I was going to speak up but i assumed it was going to get mixed because why wouldn't it? The employee never asked if i wanted it not mixed. So i just think it's crazy how a big chunk of cookie dough on top of ice cream is okay, knowing i didn't specify that i wanted it that way. What honestly set me off on even wanting to post on here is that i thought she had given us 5 clean spoons, but no, she gave us the dirty spoon and not even an extra clean one. I am also surprised that the 2 other employees that helped us out didn't notice that, they weren't busy at all at that moment. Overall, I'm just confused on how that's okay? So, i hope a manager or the owner of the Madera Cold Stone sees this, just to remind their employees to pay more attention. I know it's just ice cream but service does matter :)
