My review is going to sound a bit harsh, but only because this place makes good Mexican food and with a little a tweaking could have made me a happier customer. I ordered a pork tamale, tacos, and a chile relleno burrito. My chile relleno burrito was filled with 80% rice and 20% beans. For me the rice ruined the burrito. However, the 'chile relleno', in the burritto, was very good and one of the best I've had in a while.. I am also flummoxed by the pastor tacos, as the meat had a strong tomato bbq sauce taste, maybe a regional thing? The tamale was on the small side, but had a decent pork meat to masa ratio, and was not dry. If you're not doing Kirkland tamales, then these have to be ordered a day ahead if you want a dozen for your Christmas table. The salsa's were super tasty. I ordered a small order of salsa, which they forgot to place in my to-go bag. Lot's of seating inside. read more

3.5 for the food 5 stars for the concept and friendly service. My GF had her baby shower catered by Taqueria Y Marisco Madrigal. A mobile taco truck came by the house and quickly set up. Minutes later, we were in line for all you can eat tacos! yaaay! This is very convenient for those of you who want to throw a party and not have to deal with the drama of cooking and cleaning---the food part, that is. I think she said it was $350 for 2 hours---catering to 50 people. - carne asada: good. - pollo: very good. - carnitas: too mushy, and had the pork stench. - tortillas: nice and warm Service: 2 thumbs up! The taco man was very rapid in making the tacos and he was very friendly as well. read more

I came here on a recommendation and I was definitely pleased with this tasty little mom n' pop joint. We ordered a fish burrito that was very fresh and the ceviche. This is the best ceviche I have ever had in the inland empire. It was a shrimp ceviche and it was so fresh. It came along with tostadas, which I piled high with the ceviche and hot sauce. While we were waiting, a lady who worked there was very sweet and gave us chips and salsa to munch on while we waited. Everything was very authentic and delicious. I will definitely be back! read more

This place is a local Mom and Pop joint with outstanding food. I've tried the Carne Asada Burrito, the House Breakfast Burrito, Tacos and the Cuban Torta. The chips are homemade and the salsas here are great. The service is quick and friendly. The homemade Horchata is the best i've ever had. I was also given some fresh Guava juice (agua fresca) and it was great. Don't turn away from this place because it is small or isn't nicely decorated, go for the food. On a side note, don't plan on having a quiet dinner here. The TV's volume in the dining room is cranked up and playing Novelas. read more

Fish taco special on Tuesday. All other taco specials are on Wednesday. They do a good job here providing authentic Mexican food. We ordered to go the first time and enjoyed all of our tacos. The next time we sat in comfortably and brought the kids. I had the shrimp fajitas & let me tell you...so delicious! I ate it all, without the tortillas (paleo). Ordered a chicken quesadilla and it was ginormous. Lots of chicken and cheese and my Daughter enjoyed it. My son ordered the asada nachos. So good! They were pretty big and we all tried a little. He's only 7 (& skinny) and ate it ALL because his daddy bet that he couldn't for $5. His plate was cleared. read more

This was my PLACE a few years back. It's been about five years since I've been back, but looked at the Yelp reviews and decided to try it out again. I was sadly disappointed. The asada meat had a funky after taste-- I think maybe from the oil? The pastor was also very sweet for my liking and the shrimp taco tasted like it was drenched in mayonnaise (rather than cream). I couldn't even stomach finishing my food. Thinking of trying this spot? Don't. It's not worth it. read more

Decided to give this place a shot and ordered delivery. Got the beef enchiladas and they forgot the beans and rice; the carne asada in the enchiladas was ok, not great. My girlfriend and I also got several street tacos and they only provided limes, nothing else, no chile or salsa. Every other Mexican place I've ordered from provides more than just limes to put on your tacos. Overall the food was mediocre, and they forgot or don't provide basic condiments that other Mexican restaurants provide. I won't be ordering from here again; disappointed. read more

Delicious Mexican food. That's what you'll get here. I came in and got 4 tacos (2 al pastor and 2 lengua) and a carne asada quesadilla. The tortillas on the tacos were fresh and not falling apart like other places. The al pastor meat was juicy and seasoned well with the right amount of heat. The lengua was fork tender and juicy as well. The carne asada quesadilla was a good size and gooey as it should be. I will definitely be back to try more items from their menu. read more

This place has the best burritos! although they probably deserve 3 stars I still want to keep them in business. The A/C doesn't work all that great and tables were left unclean. My partner ordered the chicken burrito and over heard the cook tell the owner that they needed more chicken hence being very selfish with the not so much chicken and instead added more rice and beans.. I know this because I ordered the carne asada burrito and it had a massive amount of meat. The red sauce that did come with the chicken tasted out if the can, c'mon you guys are doing so well..

With all due respect, the lady taking orders (shorter, older, perhaps the owner?), should let someone else take orders, or step up on the common sense game. She disregards people standing in line to take phone orders, taking her sweet time instead of asking the person to hold for a moment. It happened once, and I let it go. This second time I went, the same thing happened, so I'm not going to let it happen a third time, hence I'm not coming back. Their food is just okay, nothing to write home about. I'd come back if their service was better, but frankly they didn't give me a reason to. Please, focus on the patrons standing in line instead of devoting your entire attention to the phone. We've all got places to go, people to see, and things to do. Thanks. read more

I really want to give this place at least 4 stars because I really enjoy their food and the workers are friendly. I didn't give it 4 or 5 stars because I'm really BIG on hygiene and they don't use gloves. They use their bare hands when cooking our food, putting the tortilla chips in the bags and even picking up the lemons and placing them in the bags with their hands. I also didn't like the fact that the cashier didn't use soap when she washed her hands before putting the tortilla chips in the bags. There are too many germs and diseases to not use gloves when dealing with food that has to go into someone's mouth. PLEASE start using gloves because I don't want to stop coming because I fear contracting something. Thank you. read more

History

Established in 2004.

After serving 22 years at Stark and Sons Dairy, they relocated to New Mexico. Being we are from California going to New Mexico wasn't an option. We began cooking in the back yard as a way to make extra money. The support was incredible. We opened in 2004

Meet the Business Owner: Alfonso and Josefina M.

After working for Stark and Sons Dairy in Chino California for 22 years, Mr. Madrigal was told of his job moving to New Mexico and asking him to move with them. What do you do when 5 kids and a wife say "NO!", "NO WAY!", "What about my friends". A few weeks passed. One day while sitting around the table for dinner Mr. Madrigal explained a vision he had with Josefina's amazing food, in a restaurant environment. He explained how tough it would be. He let us know it would start in our own back yard only on weekends. We started immediately cooking that weekend. With amazing support from friends and family, our home became the place to go for dinner on weekends. We opened up our very own family operating restaurant, February of 2004. We still offer amazing home style food. Catering is available. Let Josefina or Alfonso Madrigal know of your next event, It would be our pleasure to serve you. To EVERYONE that has supported us through out the years, THANK YOU. See you next time

We ordered 2lbs medium spice house seasoned whole shrimp with corn and an egg, cucumber salad, and Cajun fries. The cucumber salad has a soy/vinegar sauce. We ordered it mainly to cut the butter/salt from the other stuff, it was decent, there was a little bitterness from the cucumber. The shrimps were nice and plump, only 1-2 were overdone at the bottom of the bag. The flavor was tasty, though I would have liked chunks of garlic in the bag to enhance more flavor.

First, the seafood was served extremely hot. Putting boiling-hot seafood directly into a plastic bag and immediately bringing it to the table made it difficult to eat, and it also raised some concerns about having food at such a high temperature in plastic. It may be better to let it rest for a minute or two before serving. This could also give the seafood more time to absorb the sauce and flavor. Second, the sauce felt very oily, but it didn't have enough of a rich, buttery flavor. The seasoning also seemed somewhat separated from the seafood instead of coating it well. Adjusting the oil-to-butter ratio and allowing the sauce to blend more thoroughly with the seafood could make it much more flavorful. I sincerely hope the restaurant will consider these suggestions. We're happy to have a new seafood boil option nearby and hope it continues to improve!

As an appetizer and accompaniment to the house pan roast, they bring a basket with three sliced breads and a side of butter. It's a light, soft bread with a bit of sour flavor. Didn't like it. I would have preferred dinner rolls. CUSTOMER SERVICE I arrived 1 hr before lunch closing time. It closes at 2:00pm and then re-opens for dinner at 5:00pm. But service was good! Only one server, but she checked back with everyone and all around better than most places I've been at recently. Lots of people came in 30-40 mins before closing time. Still, service was friendly and they weren't turned away. LOCATION At The Commons at Chino Hills. This is a large outdoor mall and have many parking spaces.

Hey Jackson, Instead…read moreof giving me an imaginary prize for being relentless, I would much rather appreciate your business taking accountability for the really poor service I had to experience in order to get a basic refund as a result of a mistake that was clearly from your restaurant. I can definitely be more upfront about my dietary needs moving forward when ordering, but even your employee admitted over the phone that chicken is not automatically part of the item that I ordered. If your staff wanted to add chicken to an item that should be seafood only, perhaps they should have asked if I was okay with that. After communicating with your employee about my concerns, I realized that the mistake on the food was secondary compared to the horrendous service I experienced when I shared my concerns. In your reply, you failed to mention anything regarding customer service that I mentioned, so let me say these facts again. I was hung up on several times over the phone, ignored multiple times when I showed up in person the next day, pressured to sign a claims release in order to get the refund, then was told I was an inconvenience to your business. Another fact is I lost my appetite after tasting your food yet was essentially called a liar when I came in the next day because I didn't appear sick to your employee. I cannot believe that is how your employee was allowed to treat a customer and I honestly hope you had a serious conversation with them. For the record, I was signed out of my main account for several months and did leave a review on a temporary account. Once I gained access to my main account, the review on my temporary account got deleted because that account got deleted. I operate on only one account and needed to re-write any reviews that got deleted. Looks like someone reported my review for your business, so I did revise it to better follow yelp's guidelines. Therefore, it is absolutely not an exact duplicate of the previous review. The real impact here is not only the loss of appetite, but also how I was treated after I raised concerns. It really was one of the most horrendous experience with restaurant staff. I will never again feel comfortable stepping inside your restaurant that is careless enough to scoop an item that was already made with chicken in it instead of making a fresh one with only seafood then try to pressure a customer to sign a claims release to protect yourselves. Nice try, but I'm not falling for that and neither should anyone else.

We ordered one pound of mussels, one pound of shrimp, and a few sides. The sauce had great flavor, although it was a little too thick and paste-like for my preference. I think it could have used a little more juice or liquid to really coat the seafood better. A few things could be improved with the overall experience. The beer was served at room temperature, and the table was a little rocky--whenever someone at the nearby table stood up or moved around, our table seemed to move as well. They also only had one-size-fits-all gloves, so hopefully you have smaller hands because the fit may not be ideal for everyone. Price-wise, it was a little on the high side for the amount of food we ordered, but the overall flavor helped make up for it. Despite a few minor issues, the food was good, flavorful, and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this place, especially if you're craving a seafood boil with great flavor.

Madrigals in Chino has absolutely ruined me for all other carne asada tacos. Seriously, nobody else comes close. I've tried carne asada tacos at countless places, and these are in a league of their own. The meat is the star of the show - incredibly tender and bursting with flavor. It's not chewy or tough like you find at so many other taco spots. They've clearly mastered their marinade and cooking process because the carne asada is melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It's seasoned perfectly, with just the right amount of char from the grill. I honestly don't know what their secret is, but it's magic. If you're even remotely a fan of carne asada tacos, you have to try Madrigals. I'm telling you, these tacos are life-changing. Go. Now. You won't regret it. read more

Once you've chosen your food items, the Waitress takes your order at the cash register and then you are asked to sit and wait for your order at your table. I'm guessing the food is all handmade from scratch because it seemed it took a while for it to be served, considering we were the only other couple there for lunch. The food was ok however, don't go there hangry, because the portions are small. If it weren't for reading they were known for their 'Handmade' flower tortillas, we will only come back when we're craving them. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. When you're done eating, they don't take your payment at your table but only take that at the register. But strangely, they seem not to mind collecting their TIP at your table. Won't be back anytime soon. Stay hungry my friends

There's nothing around it, everything feels dated, but it does give off that small, family, homey vibe. We walked there but there is a parking lot and it didn't seem busy at all. There's a lot of seating inside with some televisions. We were immediately greeted and the lady taking our order told us a bit about their menu. We ended up with a birria burrito, taco al pastor, and a birria combination plate. Our order didn't take long to prepare and we took it back home to enjoy. The taco al pastor was ok. The combination plate was plentiful, but still only ok. The birria burrito was ok. It was filling albeit a little bland. I had asked the lady taking our order if we packed our own salsa, and she said she'd do it for us since the ones that were out were for customers who were dining in. She only gave us 2 salsas (1 of each). I had asked for the spiciest ones, but the salsas we got were not spicy at all. Overall, I think it's a good spot, but it definitely needs more flavor to their meats.
