About Madero 1899
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Madero is amazing!! Super cool to find out the building has been around since 1899 - and this spot for over 15 years!! We loved their chips and salsa, queso fundido (cheese pull to the max!) and skinny margs to kick off our meal. We wound up getting the chicken fajitas and Birria taco, blackened fish taco, and fried avocado taco for our main. And WOAHH were we blown away!! These tacos were absolutely stuffed - highly recommend all 3, but it was great that the Birria taco came with a little cup of consome for dipping (or drenching, LOL). They have daily specials which you can check out on their website. Can't wait to come back for Brunch next time!
Cool Mexican restaurant located in Fullerton on Harbor Blvd along with several other restaurants and bars. When we walked into the building, we were greeted with a smile and promptly seated. The building is pretty large and contains both indoor and covered patio seating with a bar. We decided to sit in the covered patio area near the bar. There were a couple of TVs on the wall which were playing sports. And the vibe was chilled. The lighting was a bit muted, I'm assuming for ambiance, so in addition to putting on my glasses, I had to turn on my flashlight to help me read the menu - you can still see but I have trouble reading small print in low light without glasses. I had the Dragonslayer cocktail which was not bad but a tas bit too sweet for me, but I loved the presentation of the drink, which had a flower garnish. My guest had the "Besame Mucho" margarita was really good and also had a nice presentation (lips). Food: Ordered a side salad with a nice tequila lime dressing. The salad also had small cubes of carrots and jicama. A good starter salad. I also had an order of nachos which was piled high with toppings. Overall I would recommend this restaurant and it offers traditional Mexican dishes, and really good drinks.
Been here twice- and they did not disappoint- the staff is friendly and accommodating. The chips were crisp and salted lightly, the salsa was flavorful and not too spicy. The food was great, had flavor and everyone at our table was satisfied with what they ordered, no complaints.
Love the decor and atmoshere. Friendly staff. Great music on. Ordered the mole enchiladas. So good.
Don't lie to kick it. This is the same old spot with a new name. The layout changed a little bit. Cover prices are still crap but it's fun. Drinks are expensive but pours are decent. Great vibes. They just needs more bartenders. It can take 20 min to get a drink maybe longer. Tip well. They remember for when u want that 2nd drink.
