Madre

Madre is a mexican restaurant that truly delivers on quality and flavor. our meal began with the classic starter of guacamole and chips, and we were not disappointed. the homemade chips were crispy and perfectly seasoned with salt, while the guacamole was fresh and bursting with flavor. every ingredient, from the lime to the coriander, to the jalapeño and tajin seasoning, came together in harmony. to drink, we ordered the black cherry margarita & mezcal margarita, which was a standout. nothing better to have with delicious mexican food. we then moved onto the tacos, starting with the birria de res. the slow-cooked beef shin was incredibly tender and juicy, and the oaxaca cheese and tatemada salsa added a nice depth of flavor. the tortillas were toasted to perfection and seasoned with the tatemada salsa, which made for a perfect pairing with the beef. the baja fish tempura taco was exceptional, with the msc-certified atlantic pollock cooked to perfection. the crispy batter gave way to a soft and perfectly seasoned fish, and the toppings of chopped tomatoes, coleslaw, onions, jalapeño aioli, and salsa mexicana made for a well-rounded and flavorful taco. the tuna tostada was another favorite, with a generous amount of fresh tuna paired perfectly with avocado and jalapeño. this dish was a unimaginable, and the flavors came together beautifully. the special ribeye carne asada was cooked to perfection, and the warm baked flour tortilla provided the perfect vessel for the meat. the queso, crispy onions, and soft tortilla added to the texture and flavor of the dish, making it a well-executed and memorable dish. the cdmx ribs were another highlight, with the succulent and juicy ribs marinated in mexican cola, chili, and lime. topped with red onions, these ribs were so delicious that we wished they were served in taco form. the quesadillas were another great dish, with the homemade chorizo adding a nice kick of spice. the melting gruyere and mozzarella cheese were the perfect complement, and the dish was elevated even further with a dip of delicious salsa verde. we finished the meal with nicely made churros, served with chocolates and a margarita sorbet, which were the perfect sweet end to a wonderful meal. overall, madre is a must-visit restaurant for anyone who loves authentic and flavorful mexican cuisine. each dish was expertly executed and delivered on both taste and quality. the attention to detail and quality of ingredients is evident in every dish, making it a truly exceptional dining experience.

I wanted to like this place so much. the sun waa out in the courtyard and the tables were well laid out with a good atmosphere. the menu sounded really appetising. unfortunately when we ordered we were told there was no chicken so it limited us. we chose the beef tacos and squid tacos. for the price £9.50 each i thought the presentation and the portion size was a joke. the beef tacos were deep fried and the portion size of the squid was ridiculous. the gender neutral toilets were also in need of a deep clean with sticky doors and floors. staff were lovely but wouldn't return.

If you are looking for a party this is the place. music was a bit loud for me couldn't hear my husband very well. limited selection of mexican beers but the tequila selection was large. i can easily say it was the best birria i have had in the uk. hope you like it spicy.

Our waitress was liz from halifax and couldn't ask for better service, lovely place and drinks and food was fantastic. liz is very polite and attentive never far away for our next order any wait to come back again on our next visit.

Great service, outdoor seating area and good music. chicken wings were superb!!!!!! 9/10 opted for the 'all in taco tray' which was nice, however not the best. chicken - good pork - good fish - good holloumi - not so good (dry and cold) beans - nothing special (bland) left with a full belly!
