    I wish I could give this place 10 stars!!!! Food is amazing and staff are super nice and friendly You could never go wrong with Madres Brunch I advise if you are ever in Monrovia go to madres brunch you won't be disappointed !!!!

    Dulce de leche coffee was delicious
    Ashley L.

    This was my first time at Madres Brunch and was excited to try their food. Their following online and reviews on Yelp are what pulled me into try. Unfortunately, the food was not worth the popularity they receive online. The food is beautiful online but in person was a huge let down. Bland and defiantly not a "made fresh" taste. We decided to order simple and something specialty. Ordered the birria Benedict and lacked flavor. The simple two egg breakfast with a $3 addition pancake was not good at all. Something simple lacked so much flavor. Pancake is definitely box mix. Ambiance is beautiful and has character but we also waited quite a while before we were even served. ( mind you, we were seated/waited before other parties) Overall all, our waitress was so sweet and kind. The only thing I would recommend from Madres Brunch is the Dulce de leche coffee.

    Last weekend I came here for brunch with a group of 6. Seeing all the tables full and several names ahead of us on the list, we were prepared to wait but we had no idea that we would be waiting for 1.5 hours. Initially quoted 30 to 45 minutes, but it went so far beyond that. We realized it's a small place, but we were getting a little frustrated when they were seating parties who arrived after us because they had the right number of people to occupy the table(s). Sometimes it was parties of 4, then 2, and even 10. An easy solution would have been to move or separate tables to seat us within a reasonable time. So with that being said, I would recommend going super early (before 10 am) or late (after 1 pm) AND do NOT go in a party of 6! Now, the positive! The inside decor is so colorful and cute. Our server was super nice and efficient. We had drinks and order taken in no time! All the food dishes had lovely presentations and were tasty. There was also a virtual DJ playing some tunes up on the screen that created some nice ambiance. While the dining experience was pleasant, the 1.5 hour wait for a table was not. Therefore, I would not return unless I happened to walk by and saw empty tables. But walk by and maybe give it a try.

    It is located in downtown Monrovia on Lemon St. Parking is on the street or behind the shops. The restaurant is very colorful and small. When you check in for your table, the minutes they quote you is real. I saw a table leave, got cleaned up, and it sat empty for the duration of my wait time (30 min). Im assuming it is allowing the kitchen to catch up on their orders. The food was delicious and the price is moderate for the quality. I enjoyed the food that was ordered and I will need to come back and try their other items.

    The restaurant is located in old town Monrovia. There are various parking lots and street parking. Can get busy. I had to park a block away. Very cute cafe. I love all the decor and wall signs. I tried the special coffee flight (pistachio, horchata, marzapan and abuelita). All very tasty but I think my favorite was the marzapan. I also tried the birria omelette and so nice of them to let me replace the beans with salad for my dietary preference. My friend ordered the combo toast. The food was a little on the bland side but maybe next time I try their sweet dishes. Drinks were great tho. The lady who helped us was also a sweet. So nice and so helpful. Lots of indoor tables. Nice vibes.

    Cortado coffee
    Joy M.

    First time here. Came with my coworkers. Service was amazing! The staff was sooo friendly and soo accommodating! They seated us first outside but the table was really wobbly. They agreed to move us inside. And they took really great care of us. The food was yummmmm! I loved the ambiance. Didn't take pics of the food cause we were starving lol. But coffee was great. Can't wait to bring my hubby and son to try it.

    House brew
    Liv M.

    My daughter and I walked into Madres for a late Friday brunch. We were promptly seated, given menus and water. We split the Nutella French toast and the chilaquiles omelette, to enjoy both savory and sweet dishes. I had the house coffee and my daughter had the iced vanilla cold brew coffee, which she described as delectable. The Nutella French toast was quite thick slices of bread dipped in cinnamon egg batter, topped with a generous slathering of Nutella and grilled plantains. The chilango omelette was a generous portion of green chilaquiles, topped with sour cream and red onions. Our server was attentive and friendly. My coffee was nothing to brag about, it had bitter undertones. Overall it was a nice little breakfast place on the pricier side.

    Pistachio latte and matcha
    Krupa S.

    Cute new brunch location in Monrovia! The staff was so incredibly friendly and I love the interior decor. They have so many drinks you can choose from, from mimosas to horchata to coffee. I tried the pistachio latte half sweet and it was still too sweet for me, so next time, I may just need to stick to a regular non sugar beverage. My bestie got the iced matcha with oat milk and said it was creamy and flavorful. We shared the salsa verde chilaquiles and the churro french toast. Both were delicious. Will be back next time I'm in the area. They have so many locations, check them out!

    Abulita latte
    Francisco M.

    This location us easy to get here with all the street or public lot parking. There's lots of seating but can get filled during the rush hour. There's loads of fun artwork. The staff were nice and helpful. It can be difficult to find staff when it's a rush but that's expected when it's busy. But they do the payment at the table so it's quick. Their menu also comes with a QR code for special menu options. I for the abulita latte and it's pretty good. It definitely tastes like abulita chocolate and it's not too sweet. I got the oat milk so there was an extra charge. The One sandwich is big! I ended eating half and saved the rest for later. It was definitely a good amount of food. And probably the largest slice of bread I've ever had. The birria and consomé was alright. I wish the consomé had more flavor or a small kick. The potatoes were pretty good, hot and crispy. I'd return here again. There's lots of food I wanna try on the menu.

    Michelada Flights
    Faith D.

    3.5 stars. Nothing wrong per say but nothing blew me away either. The service was the highlight of my experience, as many others shared too. We arrived on a Friday around 11:30am and the place was packed! Luckily my friend and I grabbed an outside table. We ordered Michelada Flights, which were a little too sweet for me and one was incredibly salty (think beer, lime, salt). The Popeye Omelette was good but average. My friend had the Birria Omelette which looked & smelled fantastic. I love old town Monrovia and will give Madres another try.

    This is such a cute gem in the area! My teen son had seen all the hype about it on IG and asked me to take him. So glad we visited. We went during the week around lunch time hour. We were seated immediately, despite thinking we might have to wait a long time because they appeared busy. We ordered the flight aqua Fresca which were all super delicious. My son ordered the fruity pebble pancakes where they even did a full presentation when they served it to him. He loved it! I had the green chiliquilles with steak and it was beyond flavorful and delicious. The black beans were my fav with the queso fresco. The staff were friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back with my girlfriends for brunch!

    I'd give this place 3.5 stars. I've been wanting to try out this place since I see it on social media a lot. Since one finally opened up near me, I decided to give this place a try! I got the special of the month, lomo saltado chilaquiles, a pistachio latter, and an order of the churro French toast to share. I was a quite disappointed in the lomo saltado chilaquiles. The idea was great but it was definitely not lomo saltado. First of all, it has bell peppers. I've had quite a few lomo saltado dishes and I don't think they have bell peppers in it. It was also missing that "wok hey" that lomo saltado usually has. The chips also were too soggy for me. I like a good crunch to my tortilla chips. I was also quite disappointed that they didn't have that green spicy sauce that most Peruvian spots have. This was quite a miss in my book unfortunately. The churro fresh toast tasted exactly how it sounds. The bread was fluffy, perfect cinnamon taste, and I really enjoyed the churros on the side. I would recommend trying out their sweet brunch dishes as it seems like that is what they're known for. Since they just opened, they're still trying to figure out the logistics of service. I had no complaints but it does seem like the kitchen took a little longer to make your food. The space is well decorated and it started getting really busy as the morning went on. I hope for the best for this location but I am unsure if I would return.

    The only good thing here- pistachio coffees blended and iced
    Nicole S.

    This was such a let down! Came here on a whim based on the Yelp reviews and, ended up leaving disappointed. Husband ordered an omelet. Oh my goodness what a sad excuse for a breakfast classic! The meats were not even cooked into the eggs nor was the cheese. It was like they plopped it on there as an after thought!! My eggs... had HUGE chunks of egg shells in them!!! Best thing about the visit was the coffees we had before the food. We both had the pistachio, I had iced he had blended. We ended up getting it mostly refunded and went elsewhere. The manager was very nice and did apologize- but the damage was done. One other note/ the 2 TV's sat on the same channel which was of a female DJ spinning and just bouncing back and forth to the beat- 45 mins of watching this was.... Painful!

    Love the wall art - so lively and vibrant!

I am not usually the biggest fan of bbq(a lot of bbq sauces aren't it for me)... but I LOVE Jake's, the secret is in the sauce!! It's sweet and tangy in the perfect way and ends up with a smoky flavor from when they cook it as well. I looooove the huge beef ribs here, and the chicken is pretty good too. I've also tried the baby back ribs, which my family loves but I'm more of a beef kinda gal. Haven't tried much else on the menu because I just love the beef ribs so much tbh. The fries and salad are good, some other sides kinda feel like an afterthought, but the sides aren't the highlight here. I like the "roadside" nostalgic vibe inside, and the staff are nice. Some of the staff have been there for a long time and know a lot of the customers. Overall, this is my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood, and when Monrovia comes up in conversation, I always mention Jake's :)

We sat down then we look at the menu to see what to order everybody order on their own but my wife and I order BBQ combo it's come with a half a chicken,Tri Tip,two BBQ pork ribs,two BBQ beef ribs and two sides,we decided pick potato salad and mac n cheese to our meal. The atmosphere at Jake's Roadhouse is relaxing and a feeling see classic interior sign from the past that you can remember those doesn't exist anymore but enjoy walking to back in time. The waiter but out meal our BBQ combo meal to our table it looks scrumptious good. I cut a piece of the bbq chicken it was juicy,and tender and getting that smoke flavor in the chicken. And a bite of the Tri Tip it was tender and cover bbq sauce it good but it little bit too much of the bbq sauce but I enjoy it. The bbq pork ribs were very meaty they so good then bbq beef ribs they were meaty too with good flavor. The potato salad were very good full of flavors in the potato salad and mac n cheese was amazing cheesy good that I really enjoy. Meal come two muffins they very good. Everybody including ourselves enjoy the meal we were very happy and next try different items.
