One of my favorite casual restaurants in town. Anything with the beef brisket is awesome. Wash is down with a lonestar or shiner bock.
the vegan queso dip is SO GOOD. tastes cheesy without trying too hard, but also has its own uniqueness. highly recommended whether or not you prefer dairy free living!- Alexander SmithSeptember 26, 2015Great happy hour, actually good portion sizes for Mexican food, not overwhelming. And a salsa bar to top it off.
Taiowa WanerApril 18, 2023The burritos (chimi style) and tacos were very good. The wait for the food was slightly long—possibly due to arriving at the end of the dinner rush, but the food was well worth it.
Meg CharmingMay 23, 2014Vegans will not be disappointed! The nachos and frito burritto were phenomenal! Yummy drinks, too :)
Keith CaveyAugust 2, 2017The smoked brisket taco is excellent, as is the el pastor and pineapple. All-day happy hour Tuesday and Thursday!
Faustina BohlingMarch 31, 2012The staff here is great. Just hang at the bar and chat it up:). The black bean and chorizo tacos are good! May want to ask for the sauce on the side.
Kayla WilkeApril 21, 2018So many vegan options. I love the vegan queso and the carrot tacos the best! 🥕🌮
Excellent service and some of the best Mexican food I've found to date. And I am a bit of a confessed Mexican food addict.
Get an El Cubano!!! And don't forget to shake for your meal every Wednesday night!! Happy Hour all day n nite Tuesday and Thursday!!!
David HarrisonAugust 4, 2013Best tacos in Madison. They have a wide variety of taco options that are all excellent, and its nice they let you mix and match.- Be sure to go on Tuesday's and Thursday's for all day happy hour!
Bring back the old menu.. new prices and options blow for those who just ordered per taco as some went up more than a dollar each.
Erik LaingDecember 5, 2012I advocate for getting a plateful of the pork and pineapple tacos and a house rocks.- Get the Avocado Frito & the Green Chili Chicken tacos... They are the best!
Yoli ZDecember 31, 2014Tubb's leaves a LOT to be desired. Where do I begin? They charge for chips & salsa. What Mexican place does that? Took forever to get a meal. Tacos & burritos =meh. Boring. Tamales=just heat no flavor- The frozen strawberry Margarita is the only flavor worth considering
Ask for your enchilada with half chili meat and half suiza sauce. YUM!!!
TheNotorious JPGMay 4, 2012Wouldn't redeem my loyalty margarita but our server Matt was awesome and the food was delicious!!
El Pastor with pineapple. Ho. Lee. Cow. Best taco I've ever had.
Jason M. Is full of shit. I am drinking a palace rocks I got in under 3 minutes. :-)
Prices went way up. Avacodo Frito taco went from 2.25 to 3.50.
Don't drink their water, I think something died in their pipes. Yuck.

"A surprisingly large venue. The beverages and snacks are reasonably priced and the variety of shows is strong. Parking can be tough, but you can use the United Way lot across the street."

"The sweet potato fries with black berry jam and spicy mayo are a must! Big serving to split with 3 or 4 if u want room for your main course"
