Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Maderas - Kitchen & Cantina is celebrated for its "authentic south central Mexican cuisine" and "incredible cocktails." Guests rave about the "delicious churros" and "flavorful food." The small but vibrant ambiance is perfect for group dinners, though reservations are recommended. Service is generally friendly but can be inconsistent during busy times.

    Place is small, patio open on good season and food is really Mexican not Tex-Mex. Plates are large if you are not used to big meals. Drinks are really exotic. Reservations are suggested because when it’s busy limited sitting is available.

    Second trip and food does not disappoint. Nice menu selection, Mole is wonderful. Desserts are amazing. Servers are accommodating and so helpful. Love the place. Only complaint is seating … both times. First time I made indoor reservations for 8 people and even called and confirmed. But upon arrival was told only outdoor seats were available. Talked them into letter group sit inside with the promise we would move if needed. Didn’t have to move. This time, made reservations for 2 at 6pm. Upon arrival, no one was seated at any tables. Hostess took us to worst table. I requested a better table and was moved without hesitation, but felt strange being asked to sit at the worst table, with reservations and no one sitting at any tables. Hosting process needs work.

    Had a great time and loved the ambiance of the restaurant. The corn on the cob was so good and had a very nice sauce on it. The horchata was also very good and it wasn’t too sweet. My main dish was the tacos de birria which had a hint of sweetness in the sauce, but I’d give it a 8/10. For dessert I tried the churros and they were extremely good.

    The drinks and food are not of great quality as they seem. The drinks are warm and not completely mixed. Everything is overpriced and does not match the quality of the food. In my opinion, it isn’t worth going again.
