Enrique's Market

This is the closest, local spot for tacos so I've been here a few times now. The food prep is pretty quick, so they don't take orders by phone. This is true, since it only took about 10 minutes to get my two asada burritos, four tacos (half carnitas, half chorizo), an elote and salsa---with one order ahead of mine. The man taking orders is always friendly and approachable.My favorite thing to order is their steak burrito. It's filling, flavorful, and they take the time to grill both sides making the tortilla crispy (mmm!). I also love their salsa roja! It's spicy and has a smoked chipotle flavor. They never seem to throw enough of it in my bag, so I've had buy an extra container to be satisfied. Their carnitas is often dry, chorizo over-salted/greasy and the elote was watery. I would recommend asada and lengua, if ordering tacos. These items would generally get a two-star review, but because of the service, price, and of course my favorite item, I give them three stars and am a returning customer.

Enrique's Market is a part taqueria, part butcher shop, part Mexican grocery store that serves the north side of Madison. The restaurant has a nice selection of Mexican street food (tacos, tortas, tostadas, burritos, tamales and elotes). The carne asada is excellent - well trimmed and loaded with flavor. I am less of a fan of the carnitas which tends to be too dry. The homemade salsa are solid as well.

True authentic Mexican food! Delicious! Very friendly customer service! Fast service reasonably priced. I love this place.

Stopped by for the first time to pick up some lunch to bring on the boat and tried two carnitas tacos, two pastor tacos, and one chicken tamale. I agree with an earlier review that the carnitas were pretty dry - the side of green salsa definitely came in handy. The pastor had good flavor, but were rather oily. Despite all this, they still tasted great and at $2/taco they don't have to be perfect. The $1.50 tamale was the winner of our lunch, by far - it had a nice, smoky flavor. They also have some weekend specials written on a piece of paper by the counter. It's a bit chaotic inside (at least on a Sunday afternoon it was), so even though they have a few tables and table service with menus, I think I'll stick to carry out.

Best place in all of Madison to get authentic Mexican tacos, and I've tried Gloria's, la rosita, and the place by woodmans lol, Enrique's still at top for me. The people here are very genuine and helpful. The atmosphere is welcoming and always funny conversations and friendly encounters.

I drive by this market daily. For some reason it popped into my head that they might serve food, and I thought, if they do, I bet it's amazing. I looked on Yelp and Google, and sure enough... tacos, burritos, and more at this little market! I tried the Pastor taco and a Carne Asada burrito. Both were awesome! I look forward to trying more varieties of the tacos. The burrito had a toasted tortilla and fit so many great toppings inside! (Without busting open like other places.) Plus, the total was $11, which would beyond fill me up! What an awesome find! And maybe dangerous...

Just stopped in this small Mexican/Latin American market for a quick carry out dinner. The man running the counter was very friendly. We tried the pastor, chorizo, lengua and carnitas tacos. They came in corn tortillas with onion and cilantro and a green salsa on the side. They were delicious! They have a few tables in front, so you could eat in if you wanted but it seems like more of a carry out place. If you are looking for some quick delicious tacos on the North side check them out!

There was no option for 10 stars or I would rate Enrique's at 10.Ask Enrique to decide what you should eat. Get what his family eats at home. Amazing food. Super friendly.

Great carne asada (steak) tacos, great tamales. Pastor ok. Carnitas are basic. If everything was as good as the carne asada and tamales I'd give it 5 stars. Quick service, cook was nice. Woman behind register was knowledgeable, quick and very courteous. I recommend this place if you're looking for a quick fix!

Very good tamales (and for $1.50 ea). My friend said her tacos were fantastic. See pic for menu, has a bunch of seemingly authentic meats
