rev:text	I headed to the Ladonia Cafe food cart after a friend told me that it is one of the best in Madison (after you read this you can call me your friend - that way a friend is telling you to try them also!!!). To be entirely honest, I walked over with an open mind and open expectations. I didn't really think I was going to like the food just from the descriptions and my personal "taste"... I was wrong. Very, very wrong! After arriving I ordered the tamale platter. Two tamales, rice, beans and salsa served on a bed of greens for $8.00. I was told (by my friend) that this should be my order. One each of a sweet potato tamale and a black bean tamale. Now that I am your new friend, I suggest you order the same without hesitation! Very friendly operators and quick service. Exactly what I am looking for in any food cart. My open expectations are still open but my first impressions have made me to start to liking Ladonia Cafe already! The platter was heavy. It was an immediate "WOW - this is a substantial amount of food!" I made myself a promise not to open it up until I walked the 4 minute distance to my office and I was very interested in what it looked like inside. The smell and the weight made me feel like a kid holding a present that kept me wondering what was inside (and it could only be something good). My open expectations are now becoming more defined. I am starting to become impressed. Back at the office and it's opening time. Very well presented - smells amazing and I can't wait to dig in. I start with the rice and beans. Great flavor and consistency. The consistency is what really made me happy. Not dry, not sticky in a bad way and not runny. This portion of the platter goes down easily and is a great starter. The beans have some smokiness and the sides aren't a "sideshow". They absolutely make their own statement! I tasted the salsa. This is heavenly salsa. This is salsa that you wish you had every time you have salsa. This is "I'll buy a jar of that for $15.00!" salsa. It seems odd to focus so much on such a small piece of the platter but the salsa made a HUGE impression on me. This salsa is evidence that not all salsa is created equal. If I had to think of one negative thing to say about the platter from Ladonia Cafe is that I wish there was more salsa. A lot more salsa. Next time I go (which will be soon) I will be asking for more salsa. As your new Yelp friend take my advice and ask for more salsa!!! The tamales were fantastic. I enjoyed both but the sweet potato tamale was my favorite. I was again impressed by the consistency. Not dry, not mealy and not sticky. The flavor of each tamale was brought to life by the filling and not the masa. They were cooked very well, easy to eat and each delivered a new taste. I didn't really "get" why the food was on a bed of greens but I ate them. Tough to argue against something that is good for you and tastes good when mixed up with all the remaining "bits" in the platter. I don't think they really add to the platter but they certainly don't take anything away. Ladonia Cafe delivers a ton of food in their tamale platter. I guarantee you will be full if you finish it all! There aren't many times that I would say that street cart food is a "good deal" but this was a GREAT deal! I hope they don't do it but they could increase the price by a dollar or two and it would be entirely justified. So, I really, really liked the tamale platter at Ladonia Cafe. They deliver high quality food and a great price and exceeded my expectations. They've made a believer out of me and I owe my friend a HUGE thank you for recommending them. Do yourself a favor and take a recommendation from your new friend (me) - order up some food from Ladonia Cafe and prepare to be just as impressed as I was (ask for more salsa!!!).
