Worth every star! Arrive early to avoid the rush; the casual space fills quickly with eager diners. Metered parking is available nearby, so plan accordingly. The menu shines when shared, making it ideal for friends who enjoy sampling together. Be sure to save room for pancakes/waffles--someone at the table must order a sweet dish. I really enjoyed the mango michelada. The food was so good you forgot to take pictures. Don't forget to ask about their specials! read more

Madres Brunch - Just go and order The Journey! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Very disappointed with our experience at Madres in Long Beach. When we arrived, we waited quite a while before anyone came to seat us. We were then told that we were no longer allowed to sit inside and had to sit outside because it was after 1:45 PM. We explained that it was extremely hot outside and there were a lot of flies, but we were told that sitting outside was our only option. What made the experience even worse was the attitude of the manager, who was very rude and insisted that this was their policy because they close at 2:30 PM. In my opinion, telling paying customers that they have to sit outside in uncomfortable conditions simply because the restaurant is preparing to close is ridiculous. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the experience. The French toast arrived burnt to a crisp, and the portions were surprisingly small considering that many of the plates cost over $20. We honestly found ourselves laughing at how little food was on some of the plates. There are plenty of other brunch spots in the area offering better portions, better value, and a much more welcoming experience. Very disappointed. Definitely not worth the price, and we will not be coming back. read more

The service is great. The servers are very welcoming and accommodating. Nice decoration and clean atmosphere. We enjoyed The One, birrira sandwich. It was so good. The pistachio waffle and strawberry pancakes were beautiful but tasted okay. You can taste the food coloring in the aftertaste. That's my only critique. read more

On a trip and looking for brunch in Long Beach. Based on the reviews we thought we would give this place a try. Service was slow and unpleasant. Food was average and lukewarm. Ambiance was... sticky. Everything. The floor, the table, the chair. All sticky. Don't bother. read more

As you walk in, the first thing you'll notice is the vibrancy-lots of pink! When I visited in January, it seemed like the Christmas decorations were still up--or perhaps that's just part of the usual charm. I appreciated how colorful the space was, complemented by the ambiance of coffee shop music playing in the background. We arrived at a good time, before it got crowded. The tables are set close together. Impressed that servers were able to squeeze through with large plates. Most of the seating is designed for small groups of two to four people. On to the food, I felt it was on the pricey side. But you'll get your money's worth with the portion sizes. Although, I didn't really enjoy my Nutella French toast the day after. It dried up too much. But I really enjoyed the plantains the day of. If you get a French toast or waffle, I honestly feel you could divide it among 3 people. My companions were fans of their juevos divorciados and the madres chilaquiles. Overall, i would recommend trying their spot out: creative plays on breakfast foods, attentive servers, and nice ambiance. read more

Overrated. Service is slow had to wait like 15 min to get someone's attention. Chilaquiles were super dry. We also ordered a breakfast platter that came with raw/cold sausages. After 15 minutes I had to stand up and let them know. They then brought new sausages but soaked in oil. read more

Nothing beats brunch with your homegirls! Recently, we all got together for brunch at Madres Brunch in downtown Long Beach. The restaurant is on a corner, parking was minimal, and there was only metered parking available. The restaurant itself is super cute. Pink is definitely a big part of the theme. We went around noon and sat inside by the window, which was nice because we could people watch while we ate. I kept it pretty simple and got the two egg breakfast. It came with two scrambled eggs, toast, and a choice of bacon or sausage. I decided to get both, added a pancake on the side, and got breakfast potatoes. Both of my friends ordered the chilaquiles. One got green sauce, the other got red, and both were topped with steak. I really enjoyed my breakfast. It was super simple but very filling. Both of my friends liked their chilaquiles, but they did wish the chips weren't so soggy. I also got a super cute white mocha latte with an intricate design on top, and it was delicious. Our waiter was amazing, very attentive, and funny, which made the experience even better. I enjoyed the food, the vibe, and spending time with my friends. We definitely plan on coming back to try more items on the menu. read more

The family was up in Long Beach for a tournament, and my daughter were looking for a place to have some brunch. She spotted this very bright and very pink restaurant and was set on going here. Walking up we didn't have to wait long before being seated and thr staff were all great. Very helpful with the menu and were great checking up on you to make sure everything was okay. My daughter opted for thr rainbow pancakes. They were your every day pan cakes and nothing really stood out about them. Good, but it was a pancake. I opted for thr chchilaquiles which were already pricey at $17. I added the birria meat which was an extra $7. I have to say that i assumed I would have gotten a good portion size of birria, but it was a very sad scoop of birria. The chilaquiles were tasty, but the birria did lack in flavor sadly. There were plenty of other dishes that other customers were having that looked really good. I would return, but if i got the chilaquiles again, I would opt to not add meat as the portion you get doesn't match the price. read more

This establishment does not have a liquor license. They don't sell tequila or any liquor. They have a beer and wine license so the "margaritas" are wine based meaning they consist of no actual liquor. If you're looking for a full bar, this probably isn't the best place. The food is good. It is a bit mid. They have a huge menu with a lot of options and everything is presented well. The servers are kind and the service is fast. The restaurant is small inside. You're seated very close to other tables. It is cute and has fun music but it's definitely underwhelming compared to the pictures you see on social media. read more

We visited Madres Brunch in Long Beach this past Saturday, although it's not my first time at a Madres this location was amazing. They sat us relatively fast considering we had a group of 10 adults and 3 children. Once seated our food and drinks arrived surprisingly fast. Our server was very sweet and attentive. The food was delicious and as always so was the horchata latte I ordered. My niece began to cry toward the end of our meal and one of the managers came over with an ice cream for her which completely changed her mood back to happy baby. Thank you all again ! We will def return read more

My boyfriend and I heard great reviews about this place, so we decided to give it a try. I ordered the Popeye omelette, and my boyfriend got the chilaquiles rojos. The food was flavorful; however, our only complaint was that it came out a bit cold. The service was amazing. I'd say that was the highlight of our experience! We'll definitely come back to try it again. read more

First impression: cute, nice downtown location. Quickly came to realize how poor their signage is, with several patrons walking around trying to understand how to get a table. Being that this is a corner location, with two different entrances; the need for signage at both doors informing patrons how this establishment works is very necessary. One detail observed, a poorly monitored host stand. Not sure how this can be reworked, but I did notice that serves appear to be seating tables and taking orders. Definitely need to improve communication all around. There is a plethora of seating inside and out, with servers all running around. It took a minute to get a drink order in, and I think I ended up speaking with 2-3 different servers throughout my meal, which made it confusing when I needed a napkin or was ready for my check. Maybe this is how they operate, but to me, it took away from vs adding to the service delivery. Sad that LB Taco Co is no more. I will not be coming back here when there are several taco spots in LB offering more than this place has to offer. Hope it all works out for y'all. read more

Looking for a dog friendly brunch place or somewhere to bring your hangry friend? This spot is it. Come hungry. The food is so filling and so good. Shoutout to our server Uly and one of the restaurant founders, Junior. The service was on point and prompt. All the staff were super friendly. This is a dog friendly restaurant, so don't forget your fur baby/friend. Dogs are allowed inside and outside the restaurant - they have a patio for outdoor seating. Ordered multiple items and they were all good. Would recommend all of them, especially the Birria Benedict and the Los Cubanos. The meat was not dry and flavored tastefully. For drinks, the strawberry lemonade was especially good - nice and sweet, but not too sweet. Reservations may be a no go, but this place is definitely worth it. Be prepared, there may be a longish wait. They also accept large parties. I had a 10+ party and we waited for about 40 min during busy hours. read more

Went for the first time on a Sunday morning at 6:30am. We had the whole place to ourselves for an hour. We had also been waiting until their liquor license went through. I'm not going to have brunch without a mimosa . I'll include an alcohol drink menu. Service was great and the food was good. In the future I'll need to work through all the interesting choices on the menu. read more

The food here is always incredible. The fresh aqua frescas are flavorful and juicy. The service is also attentive and energetic to match the vibe of the dining area. There are only about 6-7 tables inside, a mixture of two top and four top. Probably not so great if you're needing accessible accommodations or strollers (unless they fold up). There is only an in person waitlist and, on the weekends, you'll be looking at least an hour if it's nice weekend. If you can wait at peak times, definitely worth it! read more

Great atmosphere, staff is great and food is good. The restaurant is small so you'll have a bit of a wait. But it's worth it

Went Saturday around noon, it wasn't completely packed and we were able to sit down right away. I ordered a Strawberry Horchata Latte, which tasted like warm strawberry milk and it is sooo comforting!! Then I ordered the Madres Chilaquiles it's a 10/10 for me, would order again! I also ordered The Hazel waffles, also delicious because I have a sweet tooth and enjoyed it! The ambiance was cute too and the walls were cutesy. Overall, I would come again. read more

The food here is decent--solid flavors and nothing truly disappointing--but it feels noticeably overpriced for what you get. The drinks are even more expensive! Service was genuinely good and attentive, which is why we decided to give the place a second chance. Unfortunately, the flies were a major problem both times. We tried eating inside thinking it would be better, but it was actually worse. Multiple flies kept landing on our food, which completely killed the appetite. There's clearly an issue with flies in the area, and it's hard to overlook when you're paying premium prices. (And let's be honest--we all know where those flies have been.) Overall: I wanted to like this spot more, especially with the friendly service, but the combination of high prices and persistent flies makes it hard to recommend. Might be worth a try if you're in the area and can sit outside on a breezy day, but I probably won't be back. read more

Love everything except I am a bit disappointed with the portion of surcharge for birria with chilaquiles. Seriously I basically had more tortillas than beans, eggs, cheese, cream, and also the I am confused as to why this option doesn't come with rice already included. The price for this doesn't match my expectations! $33 dollars with change just for myself by the way. read more

We had a great experience here. Came in for a late lunch, it was busy but we only had to wait about 15min. I had my puppy with me, and they are very dog friendly and even allow dogs inside. The food was very tasty, I had the chilaquiles which were recommended and my friend had the birria. The portions are huge from all the plates I saw them bringing out. They also have a variety of coffee drinks and mimosas. read more

I am sorry to have to write this but it's expensive to eat out and you should know. As such, I expect more than what I got. We ordered the special beef pozole which looked like they had poured oil over last week's beef fat. It was unclear if they used any beef stock as it had the consistency of syrup even though the supposed broth had no flavor. We had to send it back. We also ordered the turkey club which was comprised of mostly bread and the bacon was actually thick pink fleshy ham. I ordered the chilaquiles with steak and had to remove several pieces of cartilage/fatty pieces. There was also not much green chile sauce or it had been sitting at the kitchen long enough for the chips to soak it up. The color of the steak was also pale brown like it was past its time. I had to plead for water refills three times. I feel badly for the staff as it seemed like there were only two waiters for a very busy restaurant. They also forgot to remove the pozole from our bill. I had waited so much throughout the entire visit that I had to finally get up and approach someone in the kitchen so I could pay my bill and leave. On a positive note, at least the ambiance was nice, because that was about it. read more
