Los Gemelos Store - Madison

We've been to Tienda Los Gemelos several times. The food and the prices make it one of the best options for Mexican in Madison.<br/ <br/ It would be difficult to just stumble across Tienda Los Gemelos. It's tucked away in the back of a strip mall which is perpendicular to the road. There is no signage to let you know it's back there. If you are like us and looking for it based on the address it can still be hard to find. Once you have found it, you'll see a small Mexican Grocery. Walk through the grocery and you'll find a substantially large restaurant next door. It's seat yourself and pay at the counter afterwards.<br/ <br/ The service is fine. Some of the staff are more friendly than others. The chips and salsa are included. Both are fresh and tasty. The menu has a lot of options you don't see at the usual Tex-Mex restaurants. There are various tacos, tostadas, pambazos, gorditas, sopes, quesadillas, and tortas as well as plates such as Bistec a la Mexiana or pechuga a la plancha. Absolutely everything we have had there has been delicious and reasonable priced. On our last trip I had the bistec encebollado. The beef was wafer thin and the flavors were phenomenal. The rice was fluffy and the beans creamy. I really enjoy the food. The Horchata is delicious and we've always been pleased with the margaritas.<br/ <br/ Try Tienca Los Gemelos. You're sure to be pleased.

This restaurant is authentic, delicious, and very affordable! We will definitely be returning.

In my opinion, this restaurant is the best in Madison! I highly recommend trying their gorditas, quesadilla, tamale, or pozole.

I had a delicious lunch at the Downtown location today. I ordered a huge sandwich for only $3! The food was good and fresh, and the homemade hot sauce had a nice kick to it. I wanted to include the location (244 West Gilman, just one door up from State Street) but Urban Spoon had glitches. In any case, it was a great and affordable authentic meal.
