I didn't expect to write a restaurant review about black beans, but here we are. Everything we had…read moreat El Epazote Cocina Regional was good, and those beans were exceptional. When a side dish that usually gets barely a mention becomes a highlight, that tells you something about the care and quality coming out of the kitchen. That care carried all the way through dessert--we finished with a wonderful cactus pear sorbet. Authentic food, attention to the little things, and Maria was fantastic. She deserves a special mention for making our visit that much better. All this in an old Taco Bell building. There's something pretty great about that. This joint is well worth a visit. Come hungry, save room for dessert, and pay attention to those black beans.

Food: I ordered chicken enchiladas, rolled tacos, and a carne asada taco. Plus, I was blessed with…read morea complimentary carne asada sope. Everything was so delicious! The enchiladas, rice, and beans were so yummy and flavorful. The rolled tacos were nice and crispy filled with chicken. They came with fresh toppings and a black bean sauce that was an incredible twist to my typical dipping sauce. Nonetheless, a perfect combination that I will want again and again. The carne asada tacos and sopes were both good as well. The carne asada was full of flavor and juicy tender. Service: The lady at the counter was very sweet. I placed my order for pick up via door dash and waited for my order outside because I had my dog with me. She was kind enough to bring my order outside for me and was generous with offering the extra sope. Thank you! Ambience: Cute little place with some indoor and outdoor seating. Small place, but mighty in taste.

The service was great and the food was even better. 10/10, we will be back you can count on that!read more

What really made this visit special, though, was the service. I wasn't feeling my best when we arrived, but the woman helping us was amazing. Her positive attitude, great service, and the little comments she made throughout our meal completely changed my mood and gave me the energy I needed for the rest of the day. I didn't ask her name, and I actually regret that now because she deserves to be recognized. Sometimes great service can genuinely change someone's day, and she definitely did that for me. Great food, easy parking, and amazing service. I'll definitely be back.

I think we just came on an off night and understaffed because our experience was nothing like the reviews. First issue was I ordered a fountain drink. I was told it's out and they are switching the syrup refills I waited for about 20 minutes for the soda and then When I got it the mixture was off and completely flat. Our food took about 40 minutes. Our 3 year old child was getting antsy. For such a small restaurant I'm not sure why it took so long to get the food out. The host was also the server, busser, cashier and did everything. The vibe felt off. The other customers were either waiting for their food, or refills, or to go boxes or their bill and none of it was getting handled. My burrito was fine. 7/10 but wife's chile relleno was a 4/10. While I want to give them the benefit of the doubt I can't say we will ever be going back. I've never been so anxious to get out of a restaurant.

The Molcajete was the standout dish of the night. It arrived sizzling hot and loaded with perfectly cooked meats, seafood, fresh vegetables, and a rich, savory sauce that tied everything together. It was hearty, flavorful, and easily one of the best Molcajetes I've had. The mussels were another favorite. Honestly, everything tasted like it came straight out of someone's mother's kitchen--in the best way possible. The food had that homemade, comforting quality that's hard to find these days. The portions were generous, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere had that cozy, family-owned feel that makes you want to come back again.

As soon as we looked over the menu, my mouth was already watering. We ordered the aguachiles verdes, the molcajete supreme, and I added a side of fries. When I say the food came out fast, I mean FAST, especially for food this fresh. The wait staff was attentive, friendly, and checked in just enough without being overbearing. The aguachile was honestly one of the best I've had. The green sauce was incredibly flavorful, perfectly balanced, and everything tasted fresh and vibrant. The molcajete supreme did not disappoint. The sauce was rich and delicious, and the portion of carne and shrimp was generous and very satisfying. You can tell care goes into the food here. And somehow, even the fries were amazing .... crispy, hot, and the perfect side. If you're passing through on your way to Yosemite, this place is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back.

Luckily on the days that we came we didn't have such problems. I honestly love this place as it serves alcoholic beverages in which on my after hours I would love to stop by and try one. They had poppin Spanish and Today's music on. I can tell this place can get down at Night Time as it looks like it turns into a Night Club. When we entered we were greeted and seated. Our waitress was kind. We ordered al pastor nachos and I got a spicy shrimp taco which was good but I had better. I've been trying to find Nachos in Madera and I finally found the spot. The Nachos were delicious and yummy. I tried both chicken and al pastor and I think the chicken was delicious. The prices are decent and drinks as well. The staff was friendly. Definitely a fun place to have lunch. I hear the night life is poppin but I won't be participating as definitely my clients frequent this place often. Definitely a must try if you are wanting a fun place to hang out to get food and drinks. The place is small inside but there is seating.
