Madre's Cocina

This last weekend my wife and I were out and about finishing shopping and wanted to pick something up for lunch I had noticed a hotdog stand in a shopping store parking lot and had been thinking about giving them a try but they were a no show. So heading north we noticed a taco stand across from one of the chain burger places. Why wife knows how much I like street tacos so it was a no brainer. There was one customer ahead of so we had time to decide Both of us chose the taco plate, they showed three different options on the menu so we asked if we could have one of each which they said sure you get beans and rice as your sides. I notice that Elotes was also available so had to have that too!! It's nice that they have a debit card reader which made payment easier. Seams like a family run stand with mom running the show with dad manning the grill, I'm guessing their daughter takes orders and handles the toll plus helping where need. Everyone was friendly the order was given to us quickly. Now they were in a parking lot I didn't notice any tables but that was ok home is close and everything was hot when we got home. Each of the three tacos was moist and nicely seasoned. The beens and rice are pretty typical fare but good! Now the Elotes was delicious a corn on the cob dipped in a savory sauce dusted with a cheese powder with a drizzle of not a hot hot sauce but it has a little zing you gotta try it! I was looking to see if this stand was on Yelp when we ordered but couldn't find anything maybe I miss spelled the name so no pictures this time, sorry but next time I'll do better! Nice to have an option like this in the lake Stevens area will definitely be back.

So glad they are at the Stanwood Farmer's Market! When my husband finished his 4 carne asada tacos, he immediately said he could eat 8 more of them... Clearly, we will be back for more in the near future!

Great authentic Mexican food with original recipes packed with flavor. Friendly atmosphere and quick service. They came out to our place of business and provided our company all with lunch. 3 entrees to choose from (one vegetarian) severed with beans and rice and your choice of flour or corn tortillas. Side bar with custom toppings was perfect to make the meal the way you like it. Drinks provided from them were classic Mexican sodas, name brand sodas, ice tea and water. Can't wait to try more of their food in the future. Thank you all so much!!!

Best Tacos in Washington, I can't wait for the Tamale batches to come out! They do bulk tamales for the holidays too!
