Tacos & Beers

Tacos & Beer, with Some Weird Sushi? A Great Place For Friends to Hang Out - A hidden gem in Madera that was devastated by Covid closures and staffing issues is making a comeback with incredible food as just a fun place for the community to hang out with friends and neighbors. I'm talking about Tacos and Beer on Avenue 17 near Country Club. About a year ago, I was in the process of writing a review on this place after we picked up a tray of what they call "sushi", then the location closed for a while before I got a chance to try their tacos or beer. This week, I was able to get back and check out the rest of what they have to offer.  I have to say I do not understand how this place is not packed every night. The place has pool tables and dartboards with a state-of-the-art jukebox and televisions everywhere to watch whatever game is playing. I saw a plethora of beer taps, and their menu lists another dozen or so selections of bottled and canned beers. The food menu is filled with tacos and Mexican dishes made from traditional land-based meats (beef, chicken, and pork). Though it looks like they specialize in seafood tacos which is ironic considering what they call sushi does not seem to include anything close to seafood.Let's address the sushi thing. What they offer is not sushi. It is not even close to what you might think of when you think of sushi; Sushi does not contain bacon or hamburger. If you order sushi from this place expecting traditional Japanese cuisine, you will be disappointed. I would almost prefer they did not even use the term "sushi" to describe what they offer because sushi it is not. Whatever it is, though, is very good. When we got our tray, I had to get out of the mindset that I was eating sushi. Once I did that, I realized that they had created a menu with rice, seaweed, traditional sushi sauces, and a wide variety of other items I would have never thought to use for sushi. We ordered five of their most popular rolls, and they were all delicious. There was nothing left by the time we were done with our tray, not even a crumb. So if you are someone that is afraid of REAL sushi with raw fish, this might be exactly what you are looking for. It is well worth the price and something we will order again.This place looks like a fantastic joint to hang out with friends after work to share a beer,  eat some great food and just relax and have some fun. Check out their Facebook page for hours and photos of what they offer. Like everywhere nowadays, they are still experiencing some staffing issues but the staff I came into contact with were friendly and welcoming. It looks like they are not open on Sundays, but that could change if business picks up. I would highly recommend finding a babysitter and taking your partner to this fun, "new" place right here in Madera.

Very unprofessional place, no one ever answers the phone for orders & take forever just for one meal . So many other complaints from many other people , they are super RUDE and UNFAIR to employees . If you aren't a favorite just forget it ! They will fire you for no reason ! Never going to that place ever again !! Wouldn't recommended to anyone either .

Always a great place to drink beer play a game or two of pool . And the tacos n sushi rolls are delicious!

Good friendly place to have some drinks and the food is great. On the weekends Night club after 9 21 and over only.

Very good twist on sushi.I went to pick up and it was ready right away. Couldn't actually stay to long inside the restaurant because of everything with COVID-19 restrictions but overall looked like a great place to hang out.

Disappointed! The place was not busy. The waitress was nice.However, it took over 30 minutes to serve our food. They have the audacity to serve what's pictured below. That's not a taco, that's leftovers. It felt like a slap in the face considering the price.

ever since they switched owners the sushi has been terrible the crab and the shrimp mainly has been tasting like it's just been sitting there for days and don't even get me started on the tacos they are full of grease enough to make your stomach turn the next day over all terrible food I would never come to eat again

For my experience here at tacos and beers didn't reach my expectations, the employees don't have any kind of friendly customer service skills/ rude to women but to the men they have a different tone . The bathrooms are extremely unpleasant to the smell and dirty . No toilet paper was stocked no handsoap. And to top it off My beer glass was still dirty and has lip stick stains ...! I tried to like the place but just couldn't ! Nearly most of their foods weren't available just aweful ! If i could put zero stars i would.

‍How long have yall been closed ? Huge disappointment we decided to come try this place out after a double header of softball only to arrive and find out its closed despite the hours. Shame.

We don't live out here, but my in laws do, so we pass this place a lot. Me, and my wife decided to try it out. I was surprised when we walked in. The place was real clean, and the bartender came to our table with menus pretty fast. We actually came to see if it would be a good place to watch football the next day. He told us they were closed on Sunday, and Mondays. He took the time to answer questions we had about the food that they served. Overall we liked the place, and will be back!
