My family came into this wonderful place to grab dinner to go. Upon getting out of the car a nice guy asked if we were coming in to eat or doing a to go order. Everyone had a super welcoming attitude. I ordered the three tacos and ended up mixing up the selection. Two were the steak taco w/ blue cheese with shredded, breaded poblano peppers (which I’ve never had) soooo good. Perfect spice level to this taco. The meat wasn’t over cooked and had a touch of pink on the steak and so tender. Delicious. I also got one shrimp, mango taco, so good! The beans were perfectly spice with sweet. I’m not a bean fan but these were so good. This is my review and I can say the other three family members loved their enchiladas and tacos and also those beans!! Thanks for giving us this good family meal. Sometimes when traveling food isn’t good but dang- this hit the spot!

Visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this place based on the wonderful reviews. The best mushroom enchiladas and steak tacos! Even the rice and beans were packed full of flavor. Wishing them the best as they get their brick and mortar up and running. Wish we lived closer to support them more! Go if you want an amazing Mexican meal!

The restaurant is currently under renovations so if you go to the og location just walk or drive down a little ways on the left side of the road from the restaurant and there is a food truck with a big parking lot and some tables to sit at. If the tables are all taken or it's too hot to be outside to eat, you can order takeout as well. I ordered the wild mushroom enchiladas and I was absolutely overjoyed with how delicious these were. No spice level, it's a mild cream sauce (if, like me you can't handle spice). Food arrived quickly and the staff were so pleasant! I will absolutely be back to get these delicious enchiladas again. I hope they're able to open their indoor restaurant again soon :)

Their restaurant burned down last year sometime so we went to their new taco truck stand just down the street. It’s maybe a three minute walk from the old restaurant just west of there. We were pleasantly surprised by the awesome set up. They have there. Covered seating with fans and sprayers. Going to keep the summer heat off of you. The food was amazing as always and it’s a nice bonus that it comes in to go packaging so you can take your leftovers home easily. Same great flavor as always! They are salsa and guac are to die for !

Found this spot off a Google search of "Food near me" we where at a volunteer event in Tempe and searched the area coming across this place and it wasn't to far from where we were so we decided to give it a try and when I say true meaning of Don't judge a book by its cover is 100% this spot. They are temporarily working out of a modular building and we pulled up and thought 2xs about leaving but the reviews and workers at the door were nice so we decided to give it a shot. Guacamole seasoned perfectly, we had the Shrimp coconut tacos, chicken and al pastor tacos none disappointed all fresh toppings really good rice and beans. The burrito was al pastor really flavorful. If you pull up and think about leaving....dont.. give it a shot you wont be disappointed.

My favorite Mexican restaurant had to close for fire renovations, but to my surprise —they rolled out a food truck, and it’s every bit as good as the original! The flavors are exactly the same: fresh tortillas, perfectly seasoned meats, and that incredible guacamole that keep me coming back. The food truck is surprisingly efficient, and the staff is as friendly as ever. It feels like a little slice of the restaurant experience on the go. My go-to order is still the steak tacos, and they taste just like they did in the dining room. The only downside is missing the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant, but honestly, the food makes up for it. And there is a dining room with A/C. If you loved the restaurant, definitely find the truck, just around the corner from the original location. It’s the best way to support them until the doors open again. And if you’ve never tried it, this is the perfect chance. You won’t be disappointed.

The service and food make this place an incredible stop, especially if you’re from out of town. Everything I had was amazing — from their aguas frescas and appetizers to the enchiladas. Easily a 10/10!

Our family is tremendously glad that Cocina Madrigal is back and still as delicious as ever! We are a huge fan of the enchiladas - my mom and I love the chicken enchiladas and my sister enjoys the Wild Mushroom enchilada. Each bite is packed with flavor and we feel it’s a testament to the restaurant that the sides are just as drool-worthy as their main entree counterparts. The salsa and chips are so fresh and delightful when warm. There is a lot of heart behind this food and we taste it in every dish! Please indulge yourself if visiting Phoenix or as a resident at this restaurant the next time you can. It’s our favorite local find! They currently operate out of a food truck and maybe in the building next to it - we couldn’t quite tell. All seating is now outside (maybe in the future this may change). There is a beautifully-decorated, shaded, and misted outdoor seating area for those dining in and an additionally shaded and misted area for those waiting for to-go orders.
