This is a review for delivery via a third party. I ordered…read morethe birria tacos. They had a single corn tortilla. Picked up the first one, and it fell completely apart. It was not fried either; just a soggy freaking mess. Looked like they dipped, but didn't bother to fry it. If you are fulfilling an order for delivery, WHY wouldn't you fry it and use two tortillas? Simple common sense. The street corn was bland. My drink was missing. The churros were good. Will not order from here again.

I'm new to Monroe, so naturally I've been on a mission to find the best local Mexican food. And…read morethis isn't a post about the other guys in town--I've tried them all. This is about the clear front-runner: Zavala's Taqueria. I stopped in on a Saturday and had their weekend special, pozole, along with a Tamarindo. Absolutely delicious. If you Midwest Wisconsin folks have never had pozole, it's a traditional Mexican soup that is PERFECT when the weather gets cold. It hits the spot. Now I'm going to let you in on what might be Monroe's best-kept secret: I was the only person in the restaurant at 1 p.m. on a Saturday. Great for my service...but come on, Monroe. These guys are doing it right. This was my second visit. The first time I played it safe and started with three tacos. Also excellent. And yes, the location might intimidate some of you. Don't let it. It's in a strip mall, and you walk through the grocery store to get to the restaurant in the back. Be brave. Your taste buds will thank you. Zavala's has officially moved to the top of my Monroe Mexican food list.

Coming from San Diego, CA, the one thing I missed the most was carne asada fries... I know that's…read morethe typical thing you think of for Mexican food, but it has been on my list to find places that serve it in the Midwest. After trying different variations from other restaurants in Chicago and Madison, I have to say they have the best carne asada fries (titled Loaded Fries under the shareable section). The fries are wedged with an assortment of quac, sour cream, their own cheese sauce, and pico de gallo. What made it so good was the ratios of the ingredients and the cheese sauce. The portions are enough for two people to share, though you may leave with clogged arteries. Although at times there may be a language barrier with staff, they were attentive to our needs and checked on us regularly. A fun fact is that they are located behind the grocery store aspect of the place. Vibes were great.

I had both the burrito and the al pastor tacos, and they were excellent. I'm usually not a fan of…read moreburritos where everything is mixed together because I like to taste each ingredient, but this one completely changed my mind. The flavors were balanced, the ingredients were fresh, and every bite was delicious. The al pastor tacos are just as good--well-seasoned, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I paired these with one of the milder salsas, and it added just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the food. I'll definitely be coming back. If you're looking for great tacos and a burrito that might surprise even someone who's picky about burritos, Azteca Taqueria is well worth a visit.

Someone later brought over cups, napkins, and silverware, but we still weren't given menus, so we grabbed those on our own. After sitting there for around 12 minutes without anyone checking on us or taking our order, we decided to move over to the bar. Thankfully, the bartender was much more attentive and welcomed us right away. While he was taking our order, another employee came over and asked whether someone had seated us. I explained that no one had, and that we hadn't even been acknowledged when we first arrived. The service at the beginning definitely left a bad impression, especially when there are so many other places nearby where we could go for food and drinks. The bartender did help improve the experience, though, so I bumped my rating up from what would have been a 1 star review to 3 stars.

Not a hello so we sat down He then came over and gave us cups with a napkin and silverware in it Then we got up and got our own menus and we continued to sit 12 minutes without anyone even talking to us We at this point moved to the bar. The bartender greeted us and got our order as he was doing so another guy walked over and asked if anyone seated us I said no we were not even greeted upon entering. This is definitely not a favorite place for me but my daughter and her friends come here on occasion I'd be okay if I never came back. To many great places for food/drinks around the capital to ever visit here again! The bartender actually changed my stars from 1 to 3

Service was fantastic and they were very helpful with taking our order and explaining anything on the menu. We found a table and they brought us over chips/salsa/queso. All of these were so good and it was a struggle not to eat it all... I wanted to enjoy my tacos. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food and there were absolutely zero leftovers remaining! My two pastor and one steak tacos were overflowing with yummy goodness and I was definitely full afterwards! It's so nice that you can order tacos a la carte (or you can go the full meal and get the rice and beans etc, but I never eat them) for a reasonable price. I did squeeze my limes over the tacos, but they were so good as is I didn't even sample the salsas they brought to the table. It was the start of my day so I didn't get to enjoy an adult beverage, but certainly plan to be back again.

My previous view was based hugely upon the poor customer experience that I had endured. But two weeks ago I returned because I was seriously craving a taco and the other nearby place had finally convinced me they were second rate. (I wrote a small bit, about that location, not more than a couple weeks back. I won't name it, but I rather hope these words will be taken to heart and affect change) But upon my reentry to this place I was beyond pleasantly surprised. Eduardo, the owner whom I have since met, is the reason why I have returned. An active and dedicated team needs their captain. So trying to reimagine the perfect taco place I had a fresh mindset and I think I was accurate about that choice. Today marks the 6th time in roughly 2 weeks. Basic ground beef tacos with onions, cilantro and some lime. Cheap and delicious. Absolutely not a bastardized low fat gringo taco. Not at all. Heavy on the filling and tasty. It's only missing one ingredient: spice. The orders include a pair of sauces, a green and red plastic cup with something resembling a hot sauce. Tuesday is a $1 ground beef taco. Sparse but not lacking in the meat. So glad I tried again. Eduardo has a key quality that makes a place feel welcoming. Friendly, and informative about the foods that are available. I don't speak Spanish, aside from simple jargon that every English speaker has to have as their basic vocabulary, even in regular American speak day to day situations. The place vibrates with a lot of ethnic authenticity right here in my Middleton neighborhood where I've lived now for 15 of my 25 years in Wisconsin.
