While the food is just as good as ever, sadly a major fire has the restaurant relocated to a temporary building down a small side street (follow signs for Food Truck) and as the temporary kitchen is a food truck, there are a few menu limitations (no booze being the main one)). They still have my wife’s favorites-steak tacos and my go to -the meaty chicken enchiladas. For now, the Food is served in takeout containers but they have ample seating inside and out in the temporary space and most importantly the same strong customer service and friendliness. While they work to rebuild, they need our dining dollars more than ever so make a point to over there and get some of their great chow!

Best place in the valley! This is a labor of love it shines in every bite & the warm hearted owner Chef Leo. Everyone treats you like family the food is top notch. Grilled pineapple in guacamole is out of this world, tacos ohhh the tacos! The most uniquely delicious thing I’ve ever had and dream about is the mushroom enchilada. I could care less for mushrooms tried this on a whim. I’m addicted. The churros are amazing. Thank you Chef Leo & your amazing staff for feeding us through the rebuilding and giving us a cool place to eat in the meanwhile. I’m so happy you are back!!!! Hugs and gratitude for sharing you amazing talent & filling our bellies!

Got this recommendation from the Hertz counter and could not have been happier. To begin with, the staff was extremely welcoming and we were seated instantly. Food selection and service were absolutely awesome, even our picky kids loved it. Chips, Salsa and Guac were some of the best I've ever had and only topped by the entrees. Would definitely recommend this to ANYONE in the Phoenix area and would stop in if I'm anywhere within a 3 hour radius. Delish!

They were remodeling the restaurant when we visited, so we were directed a little past the restaurant to their temporary food truck area. There was an option of indoor and outdoor seating. Very comfortable. The staff were amazing. Angel walked us through the menu. He was exceptionally friendly, helpful and personable. Everything from the chips/guacamole to the tacos and salad were so tasty! The tacos were very filling and the steak salad seemed to have more meat than salad. All the flavors left us wanting more until we could not eat a other bit. The aqua fresca was so refreshing. The flavors were not watered down at all. This location is only about 20mins from the Phoenix airport. So even if you are just passing through, stop by to try this place out. It will be worth the effort. Everything is made fresh. Come hungry, leave more than satisfied 😋

Cocina Madrigal: The Guacamole is Pure Gold (and those Tacos are Legendary!) 🥑🌮🥇 Oh, honey, you didn't just eat lunch, you went straight to legendary! I found Cocina Madrigal operating out of their food truck/patio setup in Phoenix, and let me tell you—the hype is real! This place, which was voted Yelp’s #1 Restaurant in America in 2022, proves that incredible flavor can happen anywhere. Let's start with the important stuff: that Guacamole is the best I've ever had! It's fresh, chunky, and the perfect flavor bomb. But the tacos? Chef Leo Madrigal is a genius. I had the Pomegranate Steak Tacos (made with gorgonzola, fried peppers, and pomegranate marinade!), and it was an unbelievably delicious, boutique-crafted flavor bomb. I've never had those unique, gourmet ingredients together, but it was amazing and sang together in perfect harmony. The temporary setup is buzzing, and the staff is friendly and efficient—they are carrying the flag for one of the best restaurants in the country. Forget sad airport food; you totally bypassed the map and went straight to fabulous. This place is a must-try! #CocinaMadrigal 🌮 #PhoenixFood #BestGuacamole 🥑 #YelpTop100 #GourmetTacos #PomegranateSteakTacos 🥩 #ChefInspired #FoodTruckFinds 🚚 #TravelEats ✈️ #FlavorBomb 💥 #SparkleAndShine ✨
