The best Birria Tacos In Town...!!!There I said it. The sauce. Drink it right out of the cup. Yes it's that good.Okay down to business. A nice market compared to the one on Monona. Good deli selection. And the prices are reasonable. Canned goods and snacks... yes. Produce... yes. Standard. But the hidden gem is the kitchen. Fresh hand made tortillas, birria, menudo, all the good stuff. The decor is what you expect from a small shop. Kind of like something you see in xalapa or la Paz.The people who work there has been great to us.For Birria Tacos... I would drive out of my way to be there for it.

Mercado Marimar is another cultural hidden gem being a small family owned Mexican market and restaurant including a butcher shop centrally located along busy Park street in Madison, WI! It looks very tiny from the outside and super easy to pass up but when you walk inside, although nothing fancy, the energy is vibrant and festive offering the community a little piece of Mexico with fresh produce, meats, and lots of delicious popular Mexican snacks/treats! Towards the back, they have a restaurant that is mostly for to go orders but there are a few tables to dine in! The restaurant serves great Authentic Mexican food like street tacos, Menudo, burritos, tamales, and tortas! My favorite is definitely the amazing Birria tacos which is a must try menu item! On weekends they even make fresh tortillas with a authentic tortilla machine!I love getting Mexican snacks and treats! They have sweet treats like the conchas (Mexican sweet bread) and Tres Leche Cake which will satisy any sweet cravings! There are shelves full of salty & spicy snacks like the chips with a shelf full of different flavors of Takis! Mercado Marimar is a community staple in Madison, WI that brings the community together!

Very delicious tacos hidden in the back of this grocery store! Came here with a few friends and tried a variety of tacos, everyone thought they were delicious!! Prices were very reasonable and service was fast after ordering. There is a small parking lot on site that is easy to get in and out of.

Amazing family run grocer on Park just off the beltline. Don't expect splendor. The tacos are amazing. Let the kids watch the crazy tortilla machine work on Saturday mornings. Tamales come out Friday, I believe. They make menudo too ( but I've never tried it ). The tongue "lengua" is identical or even better than street tacos I've had in Monterey. Their house made salsas are fantastic and the butchers are extremely friendly, but speak slowly. All summed up, this place feels like walking into a bustling northern Mexican village shop or a big city neighborhood store. It's other worldly (but not premium in look or feel).

This is my comfort food when I'm missing home (SoCal). Birria tacos are 11/10. Mole is flavorful.

"Don't cry because it's over--smile because it happened." That's the only way I can describe discovering Mercado Marimar in my last couple of weeks of living in Madison. The tacos de birria were simply incredible. Despite the fact that it was clear across town from our house and we were deep in the trenches of packing, prepping our house for sale, and moving to Virginia, we went out of our way to visit twice in two weeks. The service was courteous and patient and the food was outstanding. My spouse and child loved their tacos as well--asada and al pastor, as I recall. Fresh, delicious, authentic, fast, and well-priced. Will definitely be back when we're in town to visit.

My favorite spot for tacos in Madison by far. Especially on the weekends when they're cranking out fresh tortillas and have weekend meat specials like carnitas and barbacoa! And definitely try a Birria taco that they've recently permanently added to the menu The grocery section has tons of fresh veggies as well which is helpful when we need to grab just a few things after grabbing lunch!

Best birria in Madison, everything is handmade fresh everyday. Can see them making tortillas from scratch as you wait for your food. Also is a grocery store with a butcher too. Great prices and friendly staff

Amazing food, pound cake and champurrado is to die for . I had the best carne asada quesadillas , empanadas preparadas , tamales , tacos and consomé in my trip to Madison . And the staff is so genuinely nice and friendly. Love that place . Parking is tight at peak hours.
