“ The vegan options here are amazing! Best soyrizo I've ever had. Lucio was our waiter and he was ultra friendly and helpful. ”

“ They have the best service at Tu Madre, and their excellent food and great margaritas at a great price brings us in for happy hour all the time. The only thing I wish to change would be to eliminate the processed Velveeta-type cheese currently used on the nachos and substitute real cheese. I had to avoid all of those chips. Otherwise it's an amazingly portion and the meat part of it is delicious. My friends also enjoyed their tacos. And the guacamole with crispy fresh chips is outstanding. Oh! I almost forgot the wonderful complimentary birthday dessert, just hot from the fryer red velvet churros! - complete with flaming Roman candle. That was an unexpected delight. Parking in the neighborhood is ample. See you again soon! ”

“ Fried chicken taco is so delicious. So flavorful.. good combo of sweet and spicy. It's a fancy taco though, like $10. Their breakfast burrito is my fave... although this time it lacked more cheese. They give free chips and salsa. Would love to come back for happy hour sometime. Ambiance is so cute. Street parking or park on lot structure on 4th street or 2nd street. Service was quick. ”

“ My boyfriend and I decided to fuel up at Tu Madre before catching The Cirque de Soleil Kooza show about 15mins away, and let me just say--it was a showstopper in its own right! We stuck to the happy hour menu (because who doesn't love a good deal?) and feasted on the Jackfruit Carnitas tacos, Eggplant Chorizo tacos, street corn, and their VKBBQ burrito. First off, those tacos? Bursting with flavor! The Jackfruit Carnitas had a smoky-sweet vibe, while the Eggplant Chorizo brought the spice game up a notch. At happy hour prices, these were a total steal. My only tiny critique? A smidge less salt would've kept me from guzzling water like I was prepping for a marathon. The street corn, though--chef's kiss! Sweet, savory, and perfectly charred, it worked as a delightful palate cleanser between bites. Honestly, I could've ordered an extra plate or two. Now, let's talk about the VKBBQ burrito. WOW. The flavors were next-level delicious, and sharing it with my partner meant I could enjoy every bite without overstuffing myself. (Two burritos would've been way too much for me, but sharing one was just right!). As a vegetarian, it's hard to find a good burrito that just isn't rice, beans, and cheese. This was one of the best I've ever had. Much better than Kogi Trucks tofu burrito! And shoutout to the complimentary chips and dips! That green sauce? My new obsession. Service was great, we were seated right away (it does help that we came on a Wednesday!) and ordered right away. I did have to get their attention a few times for water and the check - even though the restaurant was not as busy. If only Tu Madre had a closer location, I'd be there weekly! But with happy hour only Monday through Friday and LA traffic as relentless as ever, I'll just have to plan my visits carefully. Still, it's worth braving the congestion for these tasty tacos and burritos. 10/10, would return for another pre-show dinner! ”

“ Perfect place for a date night or dinner with friends. They have a great selection of food. We selected a variety of tacos, because they all sounded so good. My favorites were their unique options, their Chicken Bahn Mi and Crispy Shrimp. The restaurant has a fun vibe, and is a lot bigger than it looks. The service was amazing. We will definitely be back again to try other items on the menu. ”

“ Went thrifting in the area on a Saturday morning and ended up here for a quick bite to eat. Walking in, it's a super cute interior with a neon sign that says "make tacos, not war". We were sat very quickly (probably cause it was still earlier - 11am ish) and they gave us chips and salsa to start which is always a plus. My friend and I each ordered two tacos. I got the crispy fish taco and beef brisket taco. Both were delicious, but I would recommend the fish taco out of the two. Texture was lovely and it paired so well with the slightly sweet mango salsa. The pickled onions added acidity to cut through the sweetness. Exactly what I wanted from a crispy fish taco. Note about the bathroom - the floors were extremely slippery when I went in with no sign to indicate why. And it smelled like the back of the kitchen for some reason. Aside from that, this is a super cute place! The tacos were tasty and it's great for pictures. ”

“ Tu Madre is an aesthetic LA spot to get fusion tacos. Out of the 3 tacos I got here, the vegan one was the best?! *shocked face* Surprised that they had so many vegan options so bring your herbivore homies. Although we didn't dine in, the interior gave off Tulum vibes and looked like an exciting first date spot or a place to drink / snack with your gal pals. My tacos came with some nice and crispy tortilla chips. Mmm. brisket taco: 3.5/5 nothing special chicken al pastor taco: 3/5 just ok?? forgettable mushroom taco: 5/5 whoa whoa shredded, savory, saucy mushroom with the fresh mint, thai basil, and pickled fresno chili packed in a corn tortilla?! incredible. Tons of places to get tacos at in LA but I'd def go here again for the flavorful and fire vegan tacos (9 options.. Nine!!) And so my hunt for unique and delicious tacos continues.. ”
