Zavala's Market & Taqueria

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. Muy mala experiencia, Los tacos estaban secos, Los frijoles estaban secos, incipidos, y viejos.
El arroz tenia muy mal sabor, es triste por que otras veces me ha ido mejor no se que les paso

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.
