The most disgusting food I ever tried. Quesadilla was soggy. Chicken was raw. I ordered chips and guacamole. The chips were old and stale. The guacamole was so brown and soup consistency due to the tomato. Spit out the food after one bite. What a waste of money.

Literally just came here last weekend and got 4 tamales for $2.00 each; I came back today because they were good and the young lady tells me I could only buy them in increments of 6 for $3.00 each. The price inconsistency seems like you’re tryna get over on me!

God. This place is great. Tortillas that could beat you in an arm-wrestling match. Flavor that will move you to tears. Cauliflower that can turn the tide of any battle into a victory for the modern vegetarian. Horchata wrung from the garments of heaven's legions. And while you're there, you might as well pick up groceries.

First time here and we got the quesabirria tacos and the loaded nachos. The best Mexican food ive ever had! I got a mango margarita and it tasted like fresh blended fruit - it was SO smooth! The service was amazing and everyone was so friendly. On our way out we grabbed a tres leches cake slice and it was the perfect way to wrap up the experience. Could not recommend this place enough!!

I ordered 3 beef tacos for lunch, but was really disappointed to find the cilantro was old and wilted, with yellow leaves. Fresh ingredients are the most basic expectation at a taco spot, and this place fell short. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

I usually have a good experience here, especially when the teen boy is helping me he’s polite, attentive, and provides great service. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was the opposite. The woman in her mid-30s made me felt like she gave me an unfriendly look the moment I walked in and her attitude throughout was unwelcoming. She didn’t seem interested. It really makes a difference when staff treat customers with respect, and in this case, her service was far from what it should be. If you don’t like your job you should quit ! Not give customers unprofessional service

We’ve ordered take-out from here a few times and it was always good. Today we went in to the restaurant and it was DELICIOUS! I started with a mango margarita and my husband got a michelada made with Pacifico…if it were Saturday instead of Sunday, we’d have had a couple more. We got the choriqueso as an appetizer, it was very tasty, but the homemade chips were amazing. For entree I got the empanadas de barbacoa and the hubby got gorditas de asada, both authentic, flavorful and obviously homemade. One warning, the green chile is spicier than the red! Still good, but definitely has a kick! We brought home flan & pastel de tres leches for dessert and even though they look tasty, we will probably have to wait til tomorrow to try them when we’re not so full.

Zero stars for food delivery. The 3 dip and chips was awful the guacamole is brown, the queso is runny and watered down and hardly any chips. The burrito lacks flavor.. it’s huge but does no good if you don’t want to eat it.

We were visiting from Illinois to see my grandson who moved there. We were getting ready to go back to Illinois and needed to stop and eat, and we stopped at Zavala’s and got waited on by Vanessa. The place was so nice and clean and everyone was friendly and helpful and we will definitely go back there again when we come to Wisconsin next time. I was very impressed with their service and everything about the place.

Absolutely amazing food!!! Couldn't get enough of the fresh warm chips and guacamole! Our server was very kind but got a few things wrong with our order (we didn't ask for them to be changed and just ate/drank what we got), and the dining room was filthy when we arrived -- we had to ask that our table be re-wiped, plus there was a large table next to ours that needed to be cleared and wiped, but it was still not clean by the time we left after dinner. We'd totally go back for the food, though: delicious and lots of it. A great value!

It's a quaint grocery / restaurant. The service was great and the employees were smiling and very polite. The restaurant offers tables and counter service. I tried the breakfast burrito. It was light in the meat portions, definitely did not notice the chorizo. The sour cream was abundant and I was really put off with the pickled jalapenos. IF I ordered it again I would definitely leave out the sour cream and would really wish they could use fresh jalapenos and up the meat portions. I'll give it another try though. Wish they had a drink menu as they serve adult beverages.

Yeah, I’m just simply obsessed with their steak burrito California. I’m a rice girl, through and through, but the way the French fries are cooked somehow so perfectly while smothered between a delicious cheesy sauce and tortilla perfection… MMMMMM. I get this burrito maybe twice a week, so beware of addiction. But really anything here is good, from the hurache to the quesabarria tacos. Don’t expect quick service or good lighting, expect delicious goodness.

Always delicious food - I usually find myself not being able to stop eating until I get too full. The servers have always been nice when I go in, and wait times are reasonable given the circumstances. Pricing is also reasonable. I usually carry out orders so I can't say much for the inside of the place, but it is nice.

Got the steak street tacos and a chicken quesadilla, both were top tier in Madison. The hot sauce is pretty spicy for those sensitive to spicy things. We've gotten the chicken street tacos before and the chicken is a lot drier than the chicken in the quesadilla, so wouldn't recommend those at the moment . We'll def be back though, most things are worthy to go out of your way for.

I bought 6 of their freshly made pork tamale's and they were FANTASTIC. I had never had them before but my husband has and he hasn't been able to find any in the Madison area that he likes. He loved them and so did I! I found out about these while shopping at Woodman's and tried them today, Sunday, because that's when they are freshly made. Definitely would highly recommend!

The food is EXCELLENT, one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been in Madison! But I don’t think is fair that they charge you an auto gratuity for a table of 2. Gratuity is always optional, I always leave a tip but when I’m obligated to do is not called a tip. The owner should increase their pay instead of charging the customer.

I was super excited to try this place. So I did about half hour ago. I had a few minutes to try birria tacos, takeout. I'm going to take the meat from the tacos, re-season, and re-make them. I guess this is what food made without love tastes like. Greasy and unflavored with no napkins to wipe away the tasteless stain of failure.

Tried Zavala's after googling "tamales madison" and seeing all the positive reviews on here.
Tamales are Sat/Sun only, are already made and available at the front counter, still warm. They are VERY GOOD. Surprisingly, a little spicy. And thats a good thing.
We also got the enchiladas dinner. OMFG so good. Pretty spicy, white folks will prob complain about it. Absolutely delicious. Have to mention the beans, obv home made (not from a can). Great mixture of spices. Also spicy and so delicious.
Wrapping up, we got the tacos. Carne asada, onion and cilantro. Pretty good. Better than most of the other places in town for sure. Not legendary taco truck level, but pretty good.
Excited to try the tortas next time. The menu picture looked amazing. Given how good the enchiladas and beans were, I bet the torta is gonna be mind blowing.

Estaba por Madison buscando un buen lugar para mi hijo porque a él le gusta mucho los tacos de birria. Google me recomendó este lugar a lo cual llegamos con altas expectativas. Bueno la comida está buena, el servicio fue excelente. Lo que no me gustó y lo escribo aquí para que futuros clientes sepan mi experiencia a muchos no les importara pero para esto está este medio, para poner nuestra opinión. No me gustó los cobros ocultos que me hicieron.
1. Te cobran un dólar extra por cada taco que consumas si es de birria o lengua en mi caso así fue. ( bueno eso supongo porque ni siquiera está escrito porque es ese $1 extra)!
2. Te cobran los chips
3. Te cobran el 20% del total de tu cuenta por gratitud ( propina). En este lugar la propina no es voluntaria, es impuesta!!!
No me importa haber pagado $79 por unos tacos, una quesadilla y un sope. Lo que no me gustó fue que abusen del cliente poniendo cargos ocultos.

Food was incredibly good, that is once the correct order came out. 3 orders place, all 3 incorrect even after the waitress came back to confirm one order 3 times.

I’ve been going here probably the last 4 months when we stumbled upon it.. the Nacho Deluxe WAS perfect for two people to share. We’ve gone here so much that the employees know us by face and know that we order the nacho deluxe.
AT FIRST, the food (our norm) included Nachos deluxe & Steak Tacos- it was perfect. The portions were great, price was affordable, and most importantly it was delicious!
However, over the course of the last two months or so our food has been horrible. We keep going back because the Nacho Deluxe is just the right size for the right price. The size of the nachos has gone down dramatically, chips are stale and most importantly…. The cooks do NOT READ what you request. They make things how they normally would make them. If you specify that you don’t want something- they need to make sure to honor that because it could have something to do with religion, dietary needs or be life threatening. They do not honor that, and don’t look at what you request. That has gotten worse in the last month or so.
Most recently today, we placed an order and asked for rice on the side. They forgot our rice on the side so we went to get it .. the container had a hole in the plastic top and there was PIECES OF PLASTIC IN THE RICE. There ended up being rice on the nacho.
The Staff who work at the register are usually pretty responsive and great. They tend to make it right by doing what they can.
Photos are included on the beginning nachos to what we’ve been getting lately.
Great atmosphere and they have a wide variety of options at the grocery store area.

Really good food, definitely one of Madison's top Mexican restaurants. It's a grocery store and restaurant, and the whole place is well-kept and roomy.
🌕🌕.🌕🌕.🌕🌕.🌕🌕.🌗🌑
We got a shrimp tostada (tostada de camarón), they were as good as homemade, perfectly balanced.
🌕🌕.🌕🌕.🌕🌕.🌕🌕.🌑🌑
We also got the quesapizza, which was cheesy, gooey, crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. A classic and well-exectuted quesabirria.
🌕🌕.🌕🌕.🌕🌕.🌕🌕.🌑🌑
Lastly, we got the pork pozole. The soup was pretty standard, good, and a bit spicy- we really don't think it needed to be spicy though. They loaded in tons of pork, which was so tender. Load the pork and hominy onto a tortilla chip with crema, dip in the soup, and it serves, truly, as a delicacy. This pozole is unmatched by any chicken pozole in Madison, because of the meat.
Overall, I definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves Mexican food.

Ordered food for pick up, usually a good experience but this was below subpar. The tacos were dry and tasted ok. The rice was honestly bad and the beans were dry and clearly old. Chips were good and the salsas were great as always. Overall mids experience, surprised because zavala used to be a go to place for me. Service was bad, did not receive what we ordered on top of that the food wasn't good. Disappointing overall.

I saw the reviews and I had to try this place. They have been open a little more than a year. It has a small Mexican grocery section when you walk in with seating available just past that. Nothing fancy, but the food was delicious and hot.
I came for the $2 Taco Tuesday special, but also ordered the Huarache Estilo Moroleon $14.99. It is a huge folded homemade corn tortilla (see pictures). Choice of a meat as well no extra charge. I went with shredded chicken, but the steak and carnitas (pulled pork) and beef all looked like great options! It comes with grilled onions and a grilled jalapeno pepper!
I had a ground beef and a chicken taco. All the food seemed very authetic Mexican and a big step above other Mexican restaurants.

The food is always hot and fresh—even when you take it to-go—and they have the best quesabirria tacos in Madison. All of their food is absolutely delicious and we’re so glad we discovered this restaurant. One of our new favorites.
5 stars for the food and service. 4 stars on atmosphere; the restaurant itself is clean and hygienic, but its still just part of a grocery store, so there’s not anything particularly special about the atmosphere. However; don’t let that stop you from trying the great food!

The food is pretty ok! Steak is always dry but the woman at the counter was friendly. My biggest issue is maybeeee don’t sell expired products? This is over a month expired… bought it today…

Wow!
A hidden gem that is how I will describe it.
We haven't been there before, and we didn't know they existed until I google for Mexican Restaurants.
What a surprise....food is fantastic.
They have a small grocery section, but definitely, their business is th3 food.
My wife got "empanadas " and they were good , almost perfect , just like home.
I got "huarache " and be careful with this plate because you have to be extremely hungry or share with someone. It worh the try .
I tested pozole, and it was good. It was flavored, salty, just the way it should be.
We went back yesterday, the empanadas are so good that my wife ordered it again. I got tacos barbacoa(beef, steal, tripa) all good and delicious.
Try it, you won't regret it!

I had high expectations, tacos were decent, i am always excited to squeeze fresh lime on but the limes they gave me were so dry that they were white!!! Nobody would look at these limes and decide they are good to serve to a paying customer.

Came here with my friends ! I love coming here everyone always greets you here with positive energy and good service, lady at counter is very generous! Even if the store is a bit busy she is always positive ! I understand most people will be a bit angry but that’s how business will be we don’t always get the most kindest people but we have to understand that they are trying there best ! That’s why I don’t make it a big deal because I understand how restaurants can be busy and stressful sometimes ! But the lady at the counter and the guy always have a positive attitude thank you !!

Recommended by friends. The tacos were great, especially the pastor and best of all the carnitas!! There’s a cute dining room beside the little market. Service was quick and super friendly! Loved the horchata! Got a burrito with asada to-go and it was huge! Can’t wait to go back to try out more of the menu!

This place has my vote. The staff is very friendly, especially the young lady taking my order at the front. I never made it out of the parking lot until I was full, the food is that amazing. My nachos came in a pizza box, so I definitely got my money's worth. Thank You Zavala's Market

Zavala's is an unassuming tiny cafe and market tucked into the corner of a strip mall that one could pass by a hundred times without spotting. But then you would miss out on this family-owned gem. Tasty food, reasonably priced, with attentive service (okay, mine was the only occupied table). Can't wait to return and try the flan.

Very good food, very quick service. The first time I went there, I will be going back. Fresh tamales every Saturday and Sunday at a very good price. They also have a small grocery store with authentic Mexican delights. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Ordered the chicken torta for pickup and it was amazing. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the torta was huge! The atmosphere reminded me of the taquerias in Phoenix and Tucson where I grew up. Highly recommend!

If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out on the best Mexican food on the west side of Madison. It’s a must!! Plus, the staff are pretty amazing too. 😉 I had the Quesabirria Tacos, Shrimp Tostada, and Lengua Tacos 🌮 😋

This is easily the best taco spot in Madison. The pictures speak for themselves. Food is top notch and the service is always very attentive. It’s a casual sit down spot, or perfect for grabbing takeout. More authentic than your usual Tex Mex spot. The birria is the best I’ve had anywhere, but everything we’ve tried has been excellent.

I went on a Tuesday which was 2 dollar taco night. The tacos were fantastic. I had 3 chorizo tacos as well as some chips and a spicy salsa. Everything was amazing and the service was great. Heavily underrated place to eat.

EXCELENTE
El lugar es pequeño, no es un restaurante con el que puedas llegar con toda la familia y encontrar mesas disponibles, más bien es una pequeña tiendita con lo básico como sodas,snacks y cosas que encontrarias en una pequeña marketa. Los tacos y antojitos son excelentes y deliciosos, si tienes hambre y quieres algo rápido y sabroso este lugar es el indicado, voy seguido y veo que la gente pide comida en su mayoría para llevar o si vas solo o en grupo pequeño de dos a cinco personas pueden encontrar mesas fácilmente. Sin duda es uno de mis lugares favoritos cuando voy de paso y se me antoja algo rápido y delicioso. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
