    Gordita with a few tacos
    Bobb S.

    Since my original review, El Panzo has expanded its interior with more seating and a full service bar and I couldn't be happier. It has become my fave in the Madison area. Their cemitas are still stellar but don't sleep on their tacos. They are all well seasoned and extremely flavorful. I love their tacos arabe. Served on a flour tortilla, this precursor to El Pastor is outstanding. Friendly staff and great drinks round out the experience.

    Lengua y asada tacos

    Right beside a competitor and another restaurant we frequent for tacos but the flavors and even the entrees offered are unique. Flavors are so strong and satisfying! Everything I've tried here has been consistently good. Staff are friendly and communicate effectively with each other. You can tell the team is on the same page. Their shrimp dishes are phenomenal and they do not skimp on quality or quantity! Very clean each time I visit, and with it being such a small space they're full and busy every time I go.

    Molcajete. Mmmmm.

    So good! I think we found our go-to Mexican restaurant on the west side of Madison. It's fairly small place, maybe 12-15 tables, but looked to be doing brisk take out business too. Chips (they come warm) and salsa are free, and the salsa has a nice kick, which I loved. Wife had the the platillo de carnitas (on the salty side but delicious) and I had the molcajete served sizzling with shrimp, beef, chicken, chorizo, nopales, cheese, charred onions, jalapeño, etc. huge margaritas and a full bar with a decent selection of tequila and mezcal. Service was good. We'll definitely be back.

    I'm new to town and a friend recommended El Panzon. Excellent food. Great customer service. I'll be going back again and again.

    Spotless interior, super-friendly staff. We always get a huge pile of tacos and they're always delicious. Their guac is great too.

    What's their preferred method of calling a takeout order? Their phone number seems out of service.

    It worked when I called to find out if they were open for dinner on the 4th of July.

    While visiting Madison, we were looking for a place for dinner, one preferably with reservations,…read moreand that is how we stumbled upon Liberty Station. But in our viewing, we noticed the great happy hour and decided Liberty Station would be out early evening cocktail and appetizer spot...it was the right move! The space is good sized with several areas for seating from the bar to dining room to the patio. It is industrial smokehouse for sure, which is exactly what you want from a bbq joint. We bellied up to the bar, where the bartender was prompt, friendly and helpful. Being our first time, we asked for recommendations and without missing a beat, the brisket loaded fries with a round of old fashioned's...so that is what we went with! The drinks are well, or rail as commonly referred to around this area, and only ran us $5 - $6. They were tasty, but we could definitely tell it was a happy hour special cocktail. The fries were plentiful, definitely enough to share between us two. The brisket was tasty and the fries were crisp. And combined, the old fashioned and brisket fries was a solid duo! Overall, Liberty Station was a solid spot for some tasty food and decent drinks!

Drinks are ok, thank goodness for happy hour prices, at the bar only. The iceberg salad was very good, bacon would be great. The French fries tasted as though they were soaked in water and then fried. Very disappointing. Overall, I would go again to try other options on the menu such as the Prime Rib.
