I enjoyed my meal here. The restaurant is small but comfortable. They have lots of fun decorations and music playing. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and helpful. The food was really good. I went with a small group and we tried several things, and we all enjoyed what we ordered. The tamales were really good, and I will probably go back just for those.

Tasty red, green and hot salsas, chips are wonderful, guacamole is delicious and tortillas are soft! Tacos are soooo good. Pastor and steak mixed is the best, their pastor is so flavorful!! Will definitely be coming regularly for tacos

Best Mexican food in Madison! Best micheladas, and best seafood/mariscos. As Latino transplants from Los Angeles we are so happy to find a place with authentic homemade Mexican food and drinks after so long ❤️

Fast and friendly service. The food was excellent and prices were reasonable. I had the Mexicano burrito that is pictured with the Mexican flag…. excellent. I was happy to see this local establishment packed this evening. I will definitely be patronizing El Imperio again in the near future. Come on out help support local business. Cheers!

I almost don’t want to increase the review rating of this place because I want it to stay a hidden treasure. Excellent drinks, balanced and great value, obviously using fresh ingredients and they know how to make them correctly. Also great food, the quesadilla fajitas was fantastic. Absolutely no wait and fast service for a Friday night dinner.

Fantastic tacos and margaritas; chicken tacos were especially flavorful and delicious. The premium margaritas are some of the best in Madison. Salsa is fresh and flavorful, service was wonderful. A little off the beaten path but well worth the visit. Highly recommend.

I was, given the space that was there before, expecting more of a take out experience. It was definitely a cozy, sit down, authentic Mexican restaurant with TAMALES! Not many places have tamales. Muy Delicioso!
