Taco N' Madre — Restaurant in Cairo

My family has frequented this restaurant since they opened 10 years ago. Even when my exterminator told me not to eat there and a live roach fell off my husbands plate onto the table, we still went. Even when my whole family, and everyone we knew that ate at the restaurant one particular day got violently ill, we still went. Even when they lost their liquor license, we still went. But the rudeness of the owners that I have witnessed has escalated out of control. Customers aren’t given a ticket or check. They add it up on a little calculator at the register and tell you the amount to pay. The amount they give sometimes seems questionable and appears to vary, there’s never anything on paper or a receipt. When I asked the price of an entree, since my bill was almost twice what I expected it to be, Rigo berated me and asked me what I wanted to pay for my food. He then followed me into the dining room, continuing to berate me for questioning the bill. I have never in my life seen a business owner treat customers so rudely. They will never ever ever get another dime...

Very authentic and definitely better than the other Mexican restaurants in town! We tried a few different things, all were good. The only complaint is the food was extremely slow coming out! We waited 45 min between appetizers and the main course. It's just 2 people back there making the food and they do a great job, however it seems they have more tables than 2 people can handle at once, when busy! Plus the fact that the waitresses are constantly having to squeeze past them to make alcoholic drinks, which certainly slows things down. They should probably rearrange that setup so the chefs aren't being interrupted every couple of minutes! Nonetheless, we will be back, it was very good!

EDIT: We went back and took my parents, service was MUCH quicker! However, we all agreed that the ground beef (on nachos etc) tasted like it had either been scorched and the "good" stuff was scraped off to use in the food OR it had been cooked on a pan that had been forgotten and scorched prior to using to cook it... Still, overall a pretty good...

Had lunch there today with a friend. Experience was pretty good. Food tasted well. However, after the meal I left with my friend leaving my car in the parking lot. She dropped me back off to pick it up and I walked back into the establishment to use the restroom before my 30 min drive home.

When I walked back in the Owner (I'm assuming) said to me. The restrooms are for customers. I said yes Ma'am I understand I was just here and had lunch. Proceeded to the restroom. Came out and my my she was salty. Asked if I was mad at her. I said no I was just trying to explain I was just here. She called me rude which is not in my nature. I said I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you're talking about I was not rude in any way towards you. Then a man walks up and proceeds to tell me I can't talk to her that way.

Bottomline the Owner seems to be confrontational and nasty. I will...
