First, I should point out that I grew up in Texas not far from the border. This is the most authentic Mexican food I have come across outside of that area! It wasn't quite as salty as I am used to but no complaints on that from me! My husband had the Birria Tacos. My son had chicken, steak, and shrimp tacos. While I had the burrito. All portions were more than expected, and the prices were way more affordable as well! The server was super sweet also. Overall, I can't complain about one thing. Food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all 5 stars to this native Texas girl!!

I stopped in with a friend and was so pleasantly surprised. The gentleman server was sweet and attentive. He made my whole day. We both got the taco plate with steak and Al Pastor along with guacamole and chips. Everything did not disappoint, it was great! I def recommend stopping in!

Ordered take out and the person I spoke with was kind and helpful. We tried Birria Tacos, Birria Ramen, Birria Egg rolls, beef tacos and a burrito - 5 people and we had more than enough food. Everything was delicious!! They did a nice job packing it up and added salsas and a chipotle dip for the egg rolls - the birria consume is so good! That ramen birria was way better than we anticipated!

Cucina Madre in Yorkville is hands down the best food I’ve ever had! I ordered the birria tacos and was completely blown away – so flavorful and perfectly cooked. My boyfriend had a burrito with rice and beans, and every bite was just as delicious. The salsa was fresh and packed with flavor, and the chips were perfectly crispy and warm. On top of all that, the service was absolutely phenomenal – friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!
