A Toda Madre Modern Mex Grill: Review *****

Sandhills News and Janice Wolters arrived at A Toda Madre Modern Mex Grill at 715 E. Main Street at 11 a.m. on Jan. 10, an hour after they opened. They were the only customers and were greeted warmly and taken to a clean table.

This was not the first visit to A Toda Madre Modern Mex Grill. Sandhills News has enjoyed their freshly made chile rellenos but this time, ordered something new.

A Toda Madre Modern Mex Grill features a juice bar and traditional Mexican drinks.

They do not serve tea but have a large selection of bottled soft drinks and the sugar-free Dr. Peppers were served ice cold.

Instead of the usual high-carbohydrate chips, a basket of pinwheels donned the table. They are a crunchy, salty snack and are properly called Chicharrones De Harina.

The menus were clean and readable with clear descriptions of the dishes.

The Arroz, Cheese dip, Y Proteina (ACP) was served hot, and the chicken was soft and savory, and the vegetables were not overcooked.

This was an excellent dish with moist rice and supersized for second-helpings.

Return trips are in the future.

A Toda Madre Modern Mex Grill is owned by a hometown high school graduate, Jahaira Aguirre Suazo.

Drop in anytime for thoughtfully prepared authentic dishes and smiling staff. They open at 10 a.m. each day but check their closing hours because they vary.
