A Toda Madre - Mexican Restaurant

I never thought I was brave enough to try some of the things on this menu but I did and I loved them. a toda madre is a mexican restaurant and by far the best one I have eaten at. It is also a tapas restaurant which means that you don’t get one big meal instead you get a bunch of small meals for everyone to share with the other people that you are eating with. When you get your table here is what happens. First they give you some bread with an interesting butter that is ruddy and is peppery. After that you get to chose your drink I would recommend the limonada and then they give you some guacamole and home made chips. Later you start to order.  There is a link to there site at the bottom if you want to check the whole menu but here are some suggestions. My favorite is the mole because part of it is brought from mexico. Another recommendation is the arroz with plantains which is kind of like bananas. One of my other favorites is the albondigas. After that you get dessert where I would highly recommend the churros which are kind of like doughnuts but are 10 x better and have a really, really, really good passionfruit curd. Quote from my little brother “I would eat churros All day”.  The restaurant is also very cool with the air plants hanging in front of the window and the awesome light fixtures. This IS my favorite restaurant. You really should come here so here is the address and there website with the menu on it.
