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!
Best food ever. Go Now! Everything is so delightfully tasty and amazing. The service by the young girl with curly hair was spot on.
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!
Best Mexican cuisine in the area!! My family and I go every Tuesday for their taco & margarita specials! Service is always great and fast. They also offer catering you guys check them out!!!
Honestly best tacos in Illinois! Get the shrimp! Plus the waiter dude was super nice and an Delicious michilada maker!
First time going and the food was really good. I kind of just looked for an open restaurant after 11pm and Cocina Madre popped up on Google maps.Food was REALLY GOOD and Service was AWESOME!!!Would really recommend, just make you you don’t leave until you try their Churro Delight for Dessert.
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!
