London Double Trouble
A very strong 4* here. Enjoyed this a lot! It's nice to try some Mexican food and it was a first time visiting Liverpool as well.
The tacos were absolutely delightful! Such a solid mix, we shared the first four on the menu and the margaritas were amazing! Would highly recommend them as well.
The staff were nice and friendly, we went when it was less busy and everyone else in there seemed to be enjoying themselves too.
The location is right by the docks which again was a nice experience to see and visit, so it's a lovely location overall.
Solid A****

Decent food quality but was not entirely convinced by the menu and what was available.
It was mostly tapas style and that may work for some but we just felt a little underwhelmed while leaving.
Benefit of the doubt because it was our first visit and it is entirely possible that other dishes might have been better.

Great service, outdoor seating area and good music.
Chicken wings were superb!!!!!! 9/10
Opted for the 'All In Taco Tray' which was nice, however not the best.
Chicken - good
Pork - good
Fish - good
Holloumi - not so good (dry and cold)
Beans - nothing special (bland)
Left with a full belly!

If you are looking for a party this is the place. Music was a bit loud for me couldn't hear my husband very well. Limited selection of Mexican beers but the tequila selection was large. I can easily say it was the best birria I have had in the UK. Hope you like it spicy.

Best Mexican food I have had in the UK. I am. American food snob from the US :) and I was impressed at the good taste and presentation.

I wanted to like this place so much. The sun waa out in the courtyard and the tables were well laid out with a good atmosphere. The menu sounded really appetising. Unfortunately when we ordered we were told there was no chicken so it limited us. We chose the beef tacos and squid tacos. For the price £9.50 each I thought the presentation and the portion size was a joke. The beef tacos were deep fried and the portion size of the squid was ridiculous.
The gender neutral toilets were also in need of a deep clean with sticky doors and floors. Staff were lovely but wouldn't return.

Madre is a Mexican restaurant that truly delivers on quality and flavor. Our meal began with the classic starter of guacamole and chips, and we were not disappointed. The homemade chips were crispy and perfectly seasoned with salt, while the guacamole was fresh and bursting with flavor. Every ingredient, from the lime to the coriander, to the jalapeño and tajin seasoning, came together in harmony.
To drink, we ordered the Black Cherry Margarita & Mezcal Margarita, which was a standout. Nothing better to have with delicious Mexican food.
We then moved onto the tacos, starting with the Birria de Res. The slow-cooked beef shin was incredibly tender and juicy, and the Oaxaca cheese and tatemada salsa added a nice depth of flavor. The tortillas were toasted to perfection and seasoned with the tatemada salsa, which made for a perfect pairing with the beef.
The Baja Fish Tempura taco was exceptional, with the MSC-certified Atlantic pollock cooked to perfection. The crispy batter gave way to a soft and perfectly seasoned fish, and the toppings of chopped tomatoes, coleslaw, onions, jalapeño aioli, and salsa Mexicana made for a well-rounded and flavorful taco.
The Tuna Tostada was another favorite, with a generous amount of fresh tuna paired perfectly with avocado and jalapeño. This dish was a unimaginable, and the flavors came together beautifully.
The special Ribeye Carne Asada was cooked to perfection, and the warm baked flour tortilla provided the perfect vessel for the meat. The queso, crispy onions, and soft tortilla added to the texture and flavor of the dish, making it a well-executed and memorable dish.
The CDMX Ribs were another highlight, with the succulent and juicy ribs marinated in Mexican cola, chili, and lime. Topped with red onions, these ribs were so delicious that we wished they were served in taco form.
The quesadillas were another great dish, with the homemade chorizo adding a nice kick of spice. The melting gruyere and mozzarella cheese were the perfect complement, and the dish was elevated even further with a dip of delicious salsa verde.
We finished the meal with nicely made churros, served with chocolates and a margarita sorbet, which were the perfect sweet end to a wonderful meal.
Overall, Madre is a must-visit restaurant for anyone who loves authentic and flavorful Mexican cuisine. Each dish was expertly executed and delivered on both taste and quality. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients is evident in every dish, making it a truly exceptional dining experience.

Best tacos in Liverpool, by a clear mile. Great service, and the food was delicious.
Birria and fried chicken tacos rocked. Wish the tacos were priced singly rather than for pairs, as I'd prefer to order different types. Prices were good for them though.
Wasn't feeling the special: it was a folded, fried tortilla with two pieces of beef rib on, and sadly some of it was chewy. At £11 for one, it seemed about £3 too expensive. You should never be unable to chew carne asada. The salsa on it was banging though.
Drinks were great, and the mango margarita was a favourite.
As mentioned, service was excellent. We will be back.

Great Mexican food. Cadillac nachos were great loaded with toppings. We got in town late on a Sunday & were turned away at several places. They said come on in and kept the kitchen open for a few minutes extra for us. Loved the food & atmosphere. Service was great

If ever there was a resturant to rave about, it's this! Must go!!
The cocktails were on point! The nachos (one portion is enough to share between three, trust me). The waiter will recommend 2/3 dishes each, stick to 1 and sharing 1. It's too much otherwise.
I really wanted dessert from here but sadly I was stuffed.

Felicidades al dueño!!! The tacos felt authentic and the elote was delicious!! Loved every bit of the experience... Staff was nice and the food was quick to arrive. 10/10 try the £25 Madre experience if you have the chance.

Fantastic food. I've seen some reviewers saying they had issues with service, but I'd argue the only issues here are technical, and that's entirely understandable.
I had an issue with my order but the staff helped ME by ensuring I had what I needed. Didn't have to lift a finger and they were even happy to chat. Super good time.
Food was awesome. Vibe was great. Definitely recommend. Just look at the photos!!!

A tasty meal in Madre. The food was fresh and what we ordered was filling. I did think the prices were a little steep but I'm thinking the location added to that. I particularly enjoyed the nachos (£15) and the quesadilla was excellent but very small. The waiting staff were helpful and the food came quickly. We paid £45 including tip for nachos, 2 small tacos, 1 quesadilla, peppers and potatoes.

Really tasty food and great atmosphere at this Mexican food inspired restaurant! I would say 50% of the dishes in the menu were actually mexican. It is a bit pricy considering the portion of the plates but I understand the restaurant is located in a turistic location. We ordered 1 starter, 4 mains and two drinks for two people and we left the restaurant feelling steel hungry. We ended up paying £30pp.
Anyway, the quality of the food was very good.
