Madero By Las Velas - Murrysville

Madero Cantina in Murrysville exceeded our expectations! This is a place we've wanted to try for years and finally made time to do just that.The atmosphere is like most other Mexican restaurants with dimmed lights and music. The service was great and we walked right in at 7:15PM with no wait on a Tuesday evening.We ordered the El Trio (chips, salsa, queso and guacamole). The queso was excellent the thicker, creamy type but a small portion. I had the shrimp fajitas for my entree, they came out sizzling and cooked to perfection with sautéed peppers and onions. The fajitas came with 4 soft shell wraps which was plenty! The flavor and taste was juicy and plentiful. The fajitas came with all of the proper toppings such as shredded lettuce, sour cream, Mexican rice etc. Alex had the Tacos De Arrachera which were steak tacos, cooked medium well, and chopped into small pieces which fit perfectly on the shell. This came with rice and beans but he substituted it with the Esquites (Mexican style corn) in a shell and it was hands down the best corn ever. It seemed to be mixed with Mayo and melted butter with seasonings. I highly recommend this for a side!Cheers!

Pretty good drinks haha they let me order off the kids menu too, but they don't have ranch, so that sucks.

10/10, the best and most authentic Mexican food (and drinks) in the area!! We love the chips and queso w/ chorizo, and honestly everything on the menu. The margs are well-balanced, not made with a margarita mix and therefore don't give you a sugar hangover the next day. Maderos is a Murrysville staple!

We we're on Walnut for the arts festival and stopped in here for the first time. We went to the rooftop are to eat. There was one waitress and one bartender then a table of 8 already seated and a few more patrons then it got busy. I had to go to the bar to get my margarita that the waitress ordered and the coke my husband got had to be retrieved from the floor below and came up flat. We waited so long for our food that we left without eating. The staff of 2 were overwhelmed and no one from the main floor seemed to care or come to help.TERRIBLE SERVICE. I fault management for this. If they planned better for crowds related to the arts festival perhaps we would have had a better experience. We will not be back.

Madero Cantina is best described as a Mexican restaurant with a more modern and American twist. Coming from a Mexican family, I can say that most of these dishes are not authentic, but that 's no problem. Today, I went with my family to have an early dinner. Upon our arrival, we were immediately greeted and given a place to sit. Our waitress for the afternoon was very kind and gave us our drinks within the first couple of minutes.I wanted to order the Sopes but they were not doing their lunch menu today, so our waitress recommended that I get the Sopesitos. I did just that and I was very pleased with the quality of their food! The meat options were delicious! I also had flautas and chips and salsa as an appetizer. One noticeable aspect of this restaurant is that their food is on the heavy and greasy side. My boyfriend ordered the fajitas and they were really oily but he still enjoyed them. If you have a sensitive stomach, I would be wary of dining at this location. Although this isn 't my favorite Mexican restaurant, I would still come back and try more!
