Migrants - Madison

My name is Shelby and I wanted to share with you my personal hero of our family. Chef Oscar’s impeccable talent of creating edible art allows my lost senses to return. After over exposure to vaccines during the pandemic I am unable to taste flavors and textures at any other restaurant. Chef Oscar fixed this handicap at his lovely establishment Migrants.I have lived in Madison 40+ years and have never been to such establishment that provides a guest experience, incredible and creative cuisine consistently. Chef Oscar knows what he is doing and shows humility while doing so.People in our retirement community would love to make a monthly trip to Migrants for drag brunch, taco Tuesday. We are tired of eating flat, lacking creativity, plain frozen dishes from Sysco or Reinhart Food vendors. I wish we could hire you for personal chef cooking courses!Looking forward to seeing you again soon!Dietary restrictions: Very Vegan friendly

I have eaten here a couple of times and as a vegan really want to like it, but a visit in January 2023 has completely put me off of this place. Customer service was not great and I have concerns about how the food is being handled here. People were wearing gloves while on cell phones and preparing my meal. Overall the flavor of the food is mediocre.

Solid lunch spot. Stopped in for my 1st time for a business meeting. Steak and shrimp quesadilla was on point. Huge side or rice and beans.

2023 Two years later and the food is even more attractive! The quality of the taco dinner has brought us back again, and we're over an hour away. The tacos that are new to us are the lamb, quinoa chorizo, squash spinach. It's an amazing grouping of flavors with the 8 different sauces we can add on our own. It's still worth trip.2021 Migrants was recommended to us, and we are very pleased with the service and options of their menu. Fish Tacos on Friday were salmon, and the Chorizo Quinoa were both outstanding! The range of options for flavors, are amazing. We live an hour away from the restaurant and are so glad we made the trip!

The food was good, and they were training new staff when we went, so hopefully, that explains some of the confusion when ordering. Overall, the food didn't seem that fresh, which could be down to the frequency of customers. There were a half dozen people that came in during the 45 minutes or so we were there. I think this place is worth giving another shot. The flavor of the food was good, and their menu is expansive. I am interested in trying other things. I will just need to go at a busier time and see if the food seems more fresh.
