Con Madre Cocina — Restaurant in Austin

Con Madre Kitchen (Feb.25, 2023)

This was an unintended destination. It was selected because the airbnb host suggested it, and I was buying her a meal and went with where she wanted to.

The place was suggested the previous day as a good breakfast place. The first piece of advice is to avoid going to the place close to closing time in the evening. The place was definitely underlit, and walking around stairs in dim light poses challenges. While the taste of the food was decent, the meat hung around throughout the day was pretty dry and chewy. (I definitely would avoid the Chicharron that time of the night.) The 2 sauces that accompanied the meal were interesting. I still have not decided if I like them or otherwise. Pricing was on the high end despite it being a food truck environment. This rating was for an evening (7-8 p.m.) dining experience and will not likely reflect the full potential of the food.

Considering how long this place has existed, I am pretty sure it has potential. Unfortunately I was disappointed with this...

EDIT Business replied blaming rising food costs over past 6 months, yet you can find similar reviews that are 1 yr+ old. (See last picture) Also, hardly an excuse to charge $3 for a grand total of 12 bacon bits crumbles between 3 tacos (yes, we counted). The only thing worse than bad food and service is horrible excuses from management for it

Can't speak on in person experiences, but my experience from DoorDash ensures I'll never find out. Paid extra for EXTRA bacon in breakfast tacos and received literally a few tiny crumbs (see pictures). That amount isn't sufficient enough for a regular amount let alone paying for EXTRA. Aside from that, tortilla was hard, tacos were greasy, and I hate the taste of chorizo, ordered no chorizo, yet the potatoes taste like chorizo. Will avoid in the future. I hate wasting food but can't force myself to eat...

I'm in Austin visiting and ordered from here not knowing any better. Do NOT order via Ubereats. I ordered the "Jefe Burger" and it was just some mediocre burger with hardly any grilled onions. I ordered their "steak cut fries" and received fries that tasted like they came out of a frozen bag and did NOT look like the picture they advertise. I ordered 2 orders of breakfast tacos and the entire thing was incorrect and only received 1 order of tacos. I also ordered Horchata and omg... They give Horchata a bad name, literally powdery, fake Horchata and tasted super chalky and overpowered with cinnamon. I could have just ran to HEB and bought myself a small bag of Horchata for way cheaper. The food is overly priced, not delicious at all, super mediocre. Totally not...
