Recently moved to Madison and started visiting local restaurants. Diego's is the BEST Mexican food in the area, we both Love it! Always fast, always delicious and great service too! read more

Attended a funeral in Madison and decided to get something to eat before driving back home to Jeffersonville. We elected to try Diego's after checking the Yelp reviews . . . we should have driven on home. We were seated promptly - and our server was very nice, but he was handling the front of the house on his own - which meant service after being seated was poor at best. Once our food arrived - our server disappeared - never checked that everything was okay - never offered refill on drinks - nothing. I ordered a burrito with chicken and it literally had three small pieces of chicken, a boat load of onions and peppers - plus enough of the liquid it was cooked in to fill the plate! Needless to say, the flour tortilla was gummy from the liquid and inedible. The others in our group said their food was "just okay". Once someone came out from the back we got our check and left. My best advice - if you see Diego's - keep driving. read more

Staff is friendly and service has always been good. Just not a fan of the food. Tried to it 4 or 5 times. Never had anything great!

check your ticket even if you use a debit card you are given a charge for using a credit card. when you ask they say no speak English on top of that service was not great and floors were filthy read more

Diego's has excellent food and portions for its customers. Very friendly staff and management that want to meet your needs. The atmosphere is that of old Mexico and very enjoyable. My family stops by often for great meals. read more

For "northern" Mexican food I was pleasantly surprised. Being from Texas we set the bar pretty high. In this case, our needs were met with Texas sized margaritas and chips n' salsa. The salsa wasn't very spicy but the flavor was decent. I had the Chori Pollo, grilled chicken topped w/chorizo and cheese. It came with tortillas to sop up the cheesy goodness. I recommend it. The menu was very extensive so there's a little something for everyone. read more

See all

Server was nice. Service was quick. However the food was very very subpar. I consider this a one and done restaurant. Eat there once and never again. Beans were bland, rice was bland, salsa for chips was very bland, chips were stale and too thick. Carnitas were horrendous. Way to salty and drowned in some kind of red sauce. I left 90% of the carnitas on the plate. All in all for the $40 I spent I could have made a more authentic Mexican meal for 10 people at home. We won't be back. read more

5 of us sat down for dinner last night, and I ordered a margarita with silver Tequila, a minute later the owner Rosa stopped by with a sample of their house margarita and explained that their's were made with silver. It was delicious and we ordered 5 of them (you can order reg, large, or night, huge!) The rest of the meal was just as good as the margs. All of the food was extremely fresh (lots of fajitas, quesadillas, taco salads, etc.) The flavors were authentic and varied by each dish. Rosa checked on us several times and we were very happy every time. The service was impeccable and best of all the entire meal was extremely reasonably priced. Go, say hi to Rosa and order the read more

Best Mexican food in town! Everything is always prepared fresh and hot. You won't be sorry! Service has always been excellent. read more

Nice place for a small Mexican meal. Not the normal portions but nobody has the same portions anymore. Had a temporary surcharge on the bill to help pay for employee health insurance. Not sure if they still do or not. Personally, I would rather they just increase their prices than add a surcharge. Meal plus surcharge plus tip...a bit much. read more

Food and service was great! Great place for family gatherings with true Mexican ambiance.

We love Diego's and it is our go to Mexican restaurant in Madison. The atmosphere is great the owners are awesome. There are always enough to take home for lunch the next day. read more

The building has a colorful assorted history of other restaurants but I have a feeling this one will stick. Great location, big spaces for big groups, food was great. The fajitas are tasty but I still feel like they are with me the next day... stick to the combo plates. Best Mexican in town. read more

This was a great find for us. We walked around the Madison Chataqua festival dor awhile. Waited too long for service at a riverside restaurant so we left to find someplace for a late lunch and found Diego's. My wife enjoys sopes while my favorite is choizo and eggs. The salsa they serve at Diego's is very good. I was looking at the chicken selections when my wife said the Chilaquiles were chorizo and eggs ovet corn chips. I thoroughly enjoyed them. They came with beans and rice. WOW! Now I will want Chilaquiles instead of just plain choizo and eggs. read more

The service was good, I had the street tacos and they were good, my wife had the arrow con pollo, it tasted great, I had the margarita flight, I would highly recommend Diego's restaurant read more

Paul and I almost drove away from Diego's based on the restaurant's exterior appearance, but I'm glad the gods of chance convinced us to give it a try. We literally flipped a coin, and heads meant we had to stay. We found the interior to be in stark contrast to the exterior. In fact, it looks as though it was recently renovated. Everything looked new, the booth was comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean (muy importante). Our server brought out tortilla chips, which were pleasantly warm, and salsa, right away. The salsa was far too mild and I could taste chile powder in it, which I thought was odd. Use fresh chiles, please. It also needed some lime juice. Paul asked for hot sauce, and our server brought out a house made sauce. We added some of it to the salsa and it definitely improved it. Paul ordered a Modelo and a lunch combo platter that included a burrito, a taco, rice, and beans. You can't beat a $3.00 beer, and Paul enjoyed his food selections. I ordered the cheese enchiladas, which came with rice and beans. The cheese was perfectly melted, and the enchilada sauce, which was an interesting shade of orange, was good. The rice and beans were also good. My iced tea tasted more like water than tea. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 thanks to friendliness and cleanliness. I would go back. read more

I love Mexican food, so when you find a great spot for i in small town America you consider yourself lucky! Last night I had some really great service, really great chips and salsa, really great veggie fajitas, and an ice cold Corona! All the food was top notch and the service was great as well! The layout of the place is a bit weird... AKA my relative went behind the register at one point looking for where to pay the bill, but everyone was kind and the food was great! Well done Diegos! read more

Diegos Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Madison, Indiana

Enjoyed dinner here with my family. They were generous with chips & salsa. We had no leftovers ... food was well prepared, quite good! We had food from the vegetarian menu, chimichangas & an entree with chicken. Service was fine, nothing above and beyond. read more

We were in town for one night and came across this great restaurant. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The menu had great options from traditional fare to kid friendly dishes. I ordered the carne asada street tacos which had no grisly pieces, fresh cilantro and limes. The ointo beans that came with it were good and just the right amount. I also got Mexican street corn which was simply delicious! My Husband had a variety dish and was pleased with the portions, quality and flavor. We both had mango margaritas which were very tasty! read more

We come here regularly because it's decent Mexican food and much better than the other restaurant. The only problem is the waiting staff they aren't very attentive and we have been waiting for 20 minutes to get water and chips refilled and we still have had no luck. read more

Visiting my family and we went out to Diego's for some fabulous Mexican food. Man this was such a good choice. I got fajitas with shrimp, chicken, steak and chorizo fajitas. It was so good! I got extra onions with the veggies It came with guacamole, lettuce and pico de Gallo. The sweet tea was amazing as well. Would love to come back next time I'm in town !! read more

Some of the best Mexiacn food I have had in my travels. Huge portions, very well seasoned. Not so spicy it can't be eaten but the perfect mix of flavor and spice. Need one of these in Louisville! read more

Diegos Mexican Grill - Taco salad with Fajita chicken! - Mexican Near Me - Madison, Indiana

My husband and I stopped here on a whim. The food was great and the service was outstanding. We both had shrimp dishes. The shrimp was so delicious! This is a local business and we really liked to support independent restaurants especially during these times. read more

We have visited this place a few times before reviewing. After trying several dishes, our overall review is YUMMY! I highly recommend this place. I enjoy the Steak Chimichanga with the addictive cheese sauce. The steak has great flavor and two of them is filling. The chips served are hot and delicious and they make sure you don't run out. The margaritas are tasty and come in 4 different sizes - regular, jumbo, monster, and pitcher. We have gotten meals to go and all have been correct. No missing items. read more

Ok I highly rate this place. I totally enjoyed the food. I got the 2 break burritos and it came with rice and looked like lettuce and tomatoes on the side. My plate looked like a party of 2 plate. Huge plate of food I ate 1/2 and still got stuffed. read more

Went here for lunch. Compared to other Mexican restaurants in Indiana, I thought this was pretty good. The carnitas was good - wish I would have just ordered the carnitas meal rather than the enchiladas. The cheese sauce was okay. I did like rice. The salsa was pretty good though I normally like a lot of cilantro. I don't live in the area but if I did I would go back. read more

waitress ripped my drink out of my mouth while i was taking a drink just so she didn't have to come back to fill it up. will not come back

Sadly, another solidly mediocre dining experience in Madison. Let's start with the strengths of Diego's: -Friendly staff -Family friendly (without sacrificing menu or experience) -Clean Weaknesses: -our food took an inordinate amount of time (more than 30 minutes for three meals) -the food is ok. Just ok. Much of what we had was bland, which for Mexican food was particularly disappointing -two of our orders were incorrect. I don't think we will be back. read more

Food was great. Service was wonderful, just right attentive. Will be back. Shrimp tacos were especially good, lots of flavor and good sized shrimp. Chips were warm and salsa was good as well. Margarita was good as well. read more

I was really hoping to get some really good Mexican food, but this place was a real disappointment. The Taco's are the worst I've ever had it was so bland and discussting. The taco salad was the same and for the price I could have went to Don Pablo's or Chuy's. read more

Came to town for a weekend getaway and always need to find a great Mexican place - and I found that here! The service was great and the food was delicious. My boyfriend and I came on a day where you get a free small queso and it was delicious. It had a lovely kick to it and managed to not coagulate too much throughout our dinner so it was still good throughout the entire dinner. My boyfriend got the Lupita's special (3 steak tacos) and I loved that they had everything separated out so that you can build the taco the way that you like. They also individually wrapped the steak tacos in aluminum so it stayed warm while you were working your way through dinner. I wasn't super hungry so I got the grilled chicken quesadilla from the appetizer menu and it was delicious. Definitely extra cheesy and it had a wonderful melt on it. The grilled chicken had a great flavor to it and it didn't fall apart while cutting it, which I greatly appreciate. I also got a side of rice and it was divine. I am quite picky with my Mexican rice and this one was very fluffy with some interesting textures incorporated from the veggies and had a great overall flavor. Overall, I would highly recommend this place! read more

Yes the outward appearance makes the place look a little shady, but there were a decent amount of cars in the parking lot on a week night so we gave it a try. Chips were hot, salsa was average, but the food was excellent. There were 3 in our party and all of us gave the food high marks. The biggest negative for me and everyone else in our group, was the service. The waitresses were extremely slow in seating us (we were the only ones waiting), taking our order, checking to see if we needed anything like more chips or drink refills... The waitresses seemed to be uninterested as they spent a lot of time on their cell phones and talking amongst each other. Quite frankly the service was worse than the outside appearances of the building. read more

I ordered Karmen's Carnitas! Carnita heaven! I also ordered a side of onions, cilantro & limes! Warm & friendly! Close to Clift Falls park read more

I have no idea how you have more then 1-2 stars. First time here and we won't be back. Park and there's trash all over parking lot... we had tacos , didn't get the order right. Then go to taste , zero flavor , steak was very chewy and zero flavor ... and on top of that prices are a little high. The older lady at cashier no manners , greet guests and have communication with someone trying to pay ! read more

There is absolutely no better place! The salsa is the best! I will never go anywhere else for a Mexican cuisine!! The place is clean and has a very enjoyable atmosphere! read more

Always a great experience going here. My family and I eat here at least once a week. Their cheese dip is to die for.

The service is like waiting in a line at holiday world it takes forever and when someone asks for something they should get it it doesn't take 2 mins to bring 2 extra salsa bowls out and you should give enough silverware for however many people may sit there read more

This is hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant! It's a 30 minute drive from where I live, but it's worth the drive! The workers are all very friendly, restaurant is clean, food is AMAZING. I recommend the " Arroz Con Pollo." (Rice, queso, chicken) If you are ever in/near Madison, Indiana Diego's is a MUST!!! read more

We ate here when they first opened and we were not impressed. Decided to stop today to try it again. We loved it. I ordered the shrimp pasta and I'm in love. It was awesome and a huge portion. Husband got steak Chimichanga and he really liked it. We now have a mexican restaurant here that we like, instead of waiting to go to our favorite one in Lawrenceburg. read more

We love this place! Rosa is a sweetheart and the food is prompt and delicious. Margaritas amust.
