    Daily special
    Donna S.

    Meh. Just ordinary. The service was decent. My food was ok. Ordered the pollo jalisco with rice. I have never seen chicken that thin! The vegetables were plain. Very little cheese and less flavor. Overall the dish was just ok. I cannot get excited about this.

    El Puente is our family's favorite Mexican restaurant, we are first and second generation Latino's, grandparents originally from Guanajuato. The Authenticity of the food is great for lots of things on the menu my favorite being the carnitas or carnitas street tacos. I've always found the rice here to also be my favorite and I love the quesadillas! Other great things on the menu is the cheese dip, horchata and Xango (pronounced chango). We love the wait staff and the owner, they are always so friendly and quick with service even on busy nights. Special recognition to Sandra our favorite waitress.

    Fajita taco salad

    Tonight I enjoyed a nice dinner at a local favorite! I had the fajita taco salad. I ordered it Texas style so that it had the shrimp, steak and chicken in it. I am not a big bread eater so I did it without the shell and it came out perfect. The guacamole was super fresh as well as the tomato which was very important to me. This is one dish I would absolutely get again. The service was awesome our waitress was very on top of things and kept our glasses full. I am very impressed with the level of service!

    This was a little tucked away Mexican place that made my belly so happy . The food was so authentic and everything was served in very hefty portions! They give you free salsa and chips on the house, which is always a plus. The salsa even came in a pitcher! I could have drank it. My fiancé and I started out with some nachos and a quesadilla, and then split a burrito together. Ugh. Delicious! Our server was super helpful and was such a pleasure to have. He had a very friendly demeanor and assisted us in making diverse menu choices! I also enjoyed a strawberry margarita with my meal which was super sweet and just right. The ambiance was fun and relaxed with lots of Mexican jamz playing on the speakers. Quite honestly, it had me bouncing in my seat and made me want to dance ! I would definitely return here, we actually have already planned to! The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because it is a bit dated and could have some updates in the dinky bathrooms!

    Always so good. Moses is the absolute best server and bartender. Every one knows how good he is, people continually ask for him and he is always busy.

    I have been here many times and I am satisfied in many ways every time. First of all the food has always been good and I get different things every time. Diabla quesadilla, acp, burritos etc and they are always filling and delicious. Second the saff is always super nice and are following proper covid safety regulations. This is my all time favorite Mexican place out of three in Madison.

    Huge portions and great wait staff.  Excellent well beyond my expectations what a great restaurant!!!9

    Food is always good. Service is hit or miss. I really enjoy their tacos and carnitas. I wish they offered other authentic options like sopes, pozole, tamales, tortas etc. Will continue to come back here because the food is consistent.

    See all

My wife and I live in Greensboro and we're headed up to Madison to see somebody and decided to get lunch. As soon as we walked into the restaurant I felt like I had gone back in time to maybe 2003. Where else anywhere in this country in the last 10 years have you seen a lunch special on a Saturday for $4.99? I had a fried chimichanga that was covered in cheese sauce came with a very fresh side of lettuce and guacamole and sour cream and tomatoes and refried beans and my wife had the speedy fresh basket of chips with fresh salsa and with tip because we gave about a 30% tip our bill was like $16. And if you look at the pictures I posted I could have gotten a 22 oz draft beer for $279. Now maybe it was a Coors light maybe it was a Miller lite but regardless when is the last time you've paid less than $6 for a beer at a restaurant? And 6.99 for a jumbo margarita? And the house margarita I believe was only like four something. I feel like this place is a solid 4 and 1/2 stars and I wish we could review it that way but it's not the best Mexican I've ever had but I will say the food was very good it was very fresh it was hot and the wait staff was exceptional. To the point that living in Greensboro I would definitely drive to Madison to go eat Mexican here because the food is good and the prices are ridiculous.

Met up with a friend to grab lunch today, and had another great experience. Surprisingly, especially for a Friday, we were the only people there for lunch another small party arrived toward the end of our meal. The hostess/waitress was very friendly and attentive, checking on us, keeping chips, salsa and drinks topped off. I got the lunch ACP, which was quick to come out, and a first for me, it was served with choice of corn or flour tortillas...I opted for flour. The food tasted great, and portion size was perfect, honestly, probably a little more than I should have eaten for lunch, but it will tide me over until dinner. Definitely worth checking out. This spot has an amazing bright and vibrant atmosphere, beautifully decorated with bright colors, a much different look inside then out. I'm sure I'll be back again soon, good food, great, and quick service!

The menu is not especially broad, about what you'd expect with this type of spot! I ordered the Pozole Rojo and 2 Chorizo Tacos. My order was quickly done, no more than 10 minutes. The tacos were not topped when I got them, the meat was in warm tortillas and the chopped onion, lime, and cilantro were in a separate area. I applied the toppings, added lime juice and some of several salsas completed the item. These are good tacos and there is plenty of chorizo in them. I would order tacos here again if in the area, but it is not a destination spot. The Pozole Rojo was not really good. It was greasy, under seasoned, and had a bitter after taste. Definitely not a reorder item. Ambiance - 2 Food - 3 Service - 4 Value - 3 ( applied to tacos only)

The Pottery is so beautiful, clothing embroidered with colorful flowers, shoes as me boots and more. Before I left bought lots of produce to fill my fruit bowl at home.
