| - Arrived around 2pm on a Sunday afternoon and the place was packed. Took around 50 minutes to get our order of steak fajitas, pork tamale, side of guacamole, 3 tacos (steak, chicken, pork) and Gordita (potato and chorizo). Waitress was nice but man, that's a long time to wait for food like that.
Fajitas were just okay, more veggies than anything, lacked flavor (and salt), tamale wasn't good, but the proportion of meat to masa was admirable, gordita was okay, and the tacos, especially the steak taco, were delicious. I will go back for the steak and pork tacos. Chips and salsa at the table prior to meal - chips from a bag, not hot and fresh, green salsa, lots of heat and cilantro and fresh tomatoes.
The guacamole was very good, freshly made, and only tomatoes, onion and cilantro with ripe avocados. The chips that adorned it were considerably fresher than the ones at the table.
The beans were okay, the rice was terrible.
It is definitely hidden; I knew about La Mestiza which is nearby (across the street) but you'd have to know this was here to even go looking for it.
I'd likely go back for some margaritas and the steak tacos but that's it. There are other comparable authentic Mexican places in Madison - like Los Atlantes and Taqueria Guadalajara.
