Madera Cafe

We really enjoyed our experience at this restaurant. The server was really accommodating and had a good knowledge of the menu. The food was really yummy and all very fresh. It was nice to get free salsa and chips that were quite spicy. Also, I usually do not like grits but I got the shrimp and grits and it was flavorful and came with a great amount of shrimp and was really worth the price. We also got the three dips and they were all amazing and very tasty. I would definitely recommend eating here if you are in the area.

I have been to Cafe Madera on several occasions and was disappointed with the service each time until today. Elizabeth was our server today and although she is new she was very attentive and prompt. If she didnt know the answer to a question she asked and gave us the answer right away. Each time I have been here the food has been good but today was by far the best. I had the blackened fish tacos which were served with a side of black beans and Spanish rice. I am picky about grilled fish tacos and these were seasoned perfectly as were the black beans. We also had the queso and salsa. Late in the meal I asked for a beer because I needed to cool off the heat from the peppers. Elizabeth brought it to me right away. I mention this because in the past I have been left waiting on my drink for ten minutes. They also had a low key guitar player providing wonderful instrumentals and landing a cool atmosphere. All in all I think The Plaza Mariachi is a fantastic place to bring friends and guests from out of town. There are several options for food, drinks, and desserts from lower to higher prices. I was pleasantly surprised with my service today as that has been my only complaint each time I have been there. Make it easy for me to part with my hard earned money and I am happy to do so in exchange for prompt service with a smile and one of Plaza Mariachi's yummy Margaritas, Palomas, or Mojitos. Make sure you stroll around and check out the shops as well as the beautiful artistry that makes The Plaza Mariachi so unique.
