Highlights/Lowlights
1) amazing food!
2) gluten free friendly
3) very casual
This may now be one of my favorite lunch spots in Madison! La Taguara has awesome food at pretty reasonable prices. The cuisine is Latin American and Oh so good. Gluten free menu options are marked clearly on the menu and there are a ton of them.
The ambience is very very casual. I would say this is more of a lunch place or a quick dinner. You order at the counter, take a number and your food is brought out to you. You get your own silverware, soft drinks etc.
We had the pan fried white cheese appetizer that comes with this awesome pico de gallo type salsa. I had the chicken arepa and a side salad, and my friend had empanadas. Everything was awesome! The arepa "bread" is gluten free so you don't need to make any modifications to the menu option. The salad comes with this bright green dressing that is also awesome to dip the arepa in.
The staff is super friendly and answers all questions quickly and cheerfully. Stop in for lunch if you haven't had a chance to, it's a great spot!
