Had a great dinner overall with the food, ambiance, and service! My family was lucky enough to be served by a sweet girl named Caitlin who really made it an amazing dinner! I loved this restaurant and could not recommend it more so you can expect me and my family again soon! Ps get the shrimp tacos they were to die for.

The food was delicious and extremely flavorful. It blew my expectations out of the water. The staff was inviting and friendly throughout our stay. The ambiance was mostly quiet as we went on a Monday. I only have the after photo... I could have licked the plate.

Recently brought my parents to see the capitol building in Madison and after wandering around a bit, were in the mood for some lunch.My dad is a big fan of BelAir Cantina in the Milwaukee area so he was excited to see they had a location near the capitol in Madison.The restaurant itself is bright, sleek, and modern inside.We started things off with their queso blanco fundido which comes with two ample bowls of hot and fresh tortilla chips. The dip itself is a tasty blend of white cheeses and spices. I could eat way too much of this. For my main, I got a quesadilla with a side of guacamole. The quesadilla was tasty with, in addition to the guacamole, a side of crema. I will warn the side of guacamole was huge. It easily provided guacamole for everyone at the table. My dining companion also opted for sweet plantains to share which were decadent and delicious. They were the star of the show for me. Buttery, sweet, and topped with crema and queso fresco--they were absolutely dreamy.The service was prompt and efficient.Get to it!

I hit up BelAir Cantina on a Wednesday night in August 2024 and sat outside on the patio. We had the chips and salsa (3 types of salsa) and each had a burrito, and split a half pitcher of margaritas. The salsas were all different but each tasty in their own right. The margaritas were well made - not overly boozy but enough to make a half pitcher just right for 2. We each got a burrito ($11 Wed Special) and first off, they were huge. But more importantly, they were delicious and well proportioned. We were both impressed with the taste. We could only eat 1/2 of the burritos - so they became lunch for the next day. We'll definitely be back to work through the tacos. Lastly - the service was very good! We had a really pleasant experience!

Enjoyed a BEAUTIFUL day on the patio at BelAir Cantina downtown Madison after the Saturday morning Farmer's Market on the square. It was not busy but the service was a little slow - which we didn't mind today since it was so nice out. The food was good - tasted fresh. I enjoyed the brunch tacos. My favorite was the "East Does It" Taco (chorizo). I also had the "Bacon and Egg" taco and the chicken breakfast taco fhat had strawberries on it and a waffle taco shell. Those two were also good but the "East Does It" chorizo taco was definitely the best. The inside of this place is super super cute with plenty of seating too so would go back even on a day with poor weather.

BelAir has turned into a staple spot for me when I'm craving Mexican food. Service really varies depending on the time of day. During the school year, this place will get super busy on Tuesday and Thursday nights with the college students. You might be waiting quite awhile for a table. However, during daytime hours we don't typically have an issue!There is pretty limited outdoor seating, but the inside is pretty spacious. There is also a bar where you can order drinks and wait for your table during those busy hours. I love their chips and guac! The added radish is the perfect touch. I also appreciate how they allow you to turn any burrito into a bowl. However, my last bowl I got was a bit bland and the lettuce in it was soggy.Overall, I've had pretty good experiences here and continue to come back.

Belair has super reliable tacos.I feel like taco Tuesday Thursday deal is a pretty good steal (discounts on select tacos) and the food has always been solid.I've had a great time with all of the servers, a bunch of fun young people. It's bright, not too expensive, and a pretty fun vibe in there.

Fun place with good vibes love the corn planters! The chips & salsa aren't my favorite all 3 salsas are a little off, I feel like they should lock one down. I did enjoy the black bean & corn taco a lot but the mushroom taco was too salty. The radish was a nice garnish was a really nice touch!

As someone who regularly goes to the Tosa and Brookfield locations, this one wasn't my favorite. The service was good, but the carne asada was over cooked. Also, not sure if this place had a Touchtunes, but loud bagpipe music was playing for a good five minutes. It was funny for the first minute as I've never heard that in any restaurant before, but it got old after awhile. Still will always recommend Bel Air regardless of a random one off experience.

Still in the restaurant with an absolutely heinous stomachache. That being said, i was shockingly surprised by my food. i went in with very poor expectations, and that low bar was honestly met if not slightly surpassed. our server was nice though, i did accidentally like a few of his instagram photos when doing the 'ol stalk! but he was nice regardless. Like i said though, the food was genuinely moderately better than i expected, and i love a nice surprise!
