First time here, came for a work meeting and the inside was nice! We were a large group, the service could've been better, especially with tip included for a large group. The mole was sweet, it was ok if you like sweet mole. The chilaquiles were good, the red sauce was a bit spicy. French toast was a large portion and was also good. Food was average on the flavor. I would come again to try other food and hopefully the service is better for a smaller group or less people.
Arrived at Madres for breakfast, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. I had the birria omelette, and it was packed with flavor--definitely a must-try! I almost passed on ordering it because of a negative review, but I'm so glad I didn't. It exceeded my expectations. The service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience was excellent. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend Madres to anyone looking for an amazing breakfast! Coffee was delicious as well.
I met up with a friend here for brunch on a Sunday. The wait was about 20 to 30 minutes, which isn't bad for a proclaimed brunch location. It felt like a long time though after we were seated to get service. We put in our drink orders, but they took a really long time to come out. They came out almost at the same time as our food, which is rough because you're trying to space out your alcohol intake over the course of the visit. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my mimosa flight. It was pretty standard I got the version with pineapple, orange juice and cranberry juice for $20. Not bad pricing. I got the churro French toast and bacon which was good. The bacon was a little small and could've been crispy. My friend's daughter got the chilequiles which were mid. My friend got the Nutella French toast. She liked it. If you live in this neighborhood or are 15-20minutes away I think this is a nice place to swing by, but for me the drive was a bit much when there are closer places with similar offerings.
Good service, a little pricey I would say but at least they serve some BIG portions. I recommend trying this place out.
If you have a sweet tooth for breakfast, then Madres Brunch is for you! This vibrant yet cozy restaurant offers large portions of pancakes, French toast, and waffles that are best for sharing with your table. Since you cant have sweet without the savory, we also tried their steak and eggs which I really enjoyed most. They also offer a great selection of beverages from mimosas to strawberry flavored horchata. Both the interior and exterior of the restaurant is filled with beautiful paintings on their walls and the staff here are very friendly and accommodating. Its a fun spot for brunch, especially for young adults.
Finally made it to this place! we tried coming last year, but there was a three hour wait so yes I recommend you come early because they get very busy and it gets full; we ordered the coffee flight, the red Chilaquiles with Birria and the omelette with Chilaquiles. Everything was so good. We had no room for dessert, but we kept looking around and all the plates looked amazing. We will come back and try something sweet as well our waiter was really nice. It turns out they were a little short staffed because a couple people called off on Mother's Day so imagine that it's definitely cute. Can't wait to try the other locations.
We had to wait about 15 minutes on a Sunday morning. Not too bad. The exterior is just a basic brick building but inside they have it all decked out in flowers, pink lights, and butterflies. It's very cute. They have flights for everything! The matcha flight was so good. Each one had a very strong fruity flavor. It was hard to pick a favorite. The side of potatoes were great. The French Toast was giant but I think that made them a bit too dry for my liking. I would have preferred a thinner slice of bread to soak up more of the egg mixture. They have an extensive menu though so I would go back to try more.
I loved the aesthetics of this brunch place! Not just the cute wall decor, but also the food. It definitely has picture-worthy dishes to choose from :) Flavor-wise, everything tasted pretty standard, not bad but also not exceptional. However, I would come back here for sure just to have a fun brunch with friends or to try other dishes, as they had lots of options! Lastly, the service was great with kind servers and quick waiting times for the food.
Check the full review @itsamandachamberlain Madre in Riverside was a great brunch experience from start to finish. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere that's perfect for a weekend brunch with friends or family. Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the drinks were just as impressive. The service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Whether you're looking for a relaxing brunch, celebrating a special occasion, or simply trying a new restaurant, Madre is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!
Club lounge kind of vibe if you're into that. Not the mood for 8 am for me. So unexpectedly walked into that not knowing lol For the food I ordered it took about 30 minutes to get and it was a fairly large plate for 22 dollars (it should be for that price) however the food was cold and only slightly warm in the inside of the middle. I read the other reviews mentioning this. So it's definitely a reoccurring thing here. I guess it's cool to come and have mimosas and hang out and listen to music but wouldn't recommend ordering food . For vibes only
First time visiting Madres. Two locations, this was the Riverside one, other is in Rancho Cucamonga. Best part of our order was the coffee. The chilaquiles had some heat, but lacked layers of complimentary flavors. The churro French toast was more like a cronut, harder than French toast is supposed to be, lots of crunch which I wasn't expecting. Maybe with a side of syrup or a carmel drizzle with whipped cream drizzle would have elevated it. It's beautiful inside and fun ambience wise, the staff were super friendly and attentive, I just wish the food delivered as much as the pictures suggest they did. I would come again, I would order the coffee and try different items.
The food here is actually really good, no complaints there. Whoever is back in that kitchen is doing their thing. But the overall experience feels like a test of patience and financial endurance. First off, the service moves at the speed of a DMV line the day after a holiday weekend. We had enough time between ordering and getting our food to reflect on life choices, reconnect spiritually, and consider applying for jobs there so we could check on our own order ourselves. Now let's talk about the drinks. Not cocktails, not fancy handcrafted lavender infused mocktails served by a guy named Sebastian. I'm talking regular soft drinks. Sodas. The kind you buy in a 12 pack at the grocery store. They bring them out in the actual can, no glass, no ice, no refill, no illusion of generosity whatsoever. And if you dare to ask for a second one? Boom, another $4 charge. Charging $4 per soda can while also making me pour it myself feels less like dining and more like I accidentally entered a luxury survival experience. At that point just hand me the Costco case and let me finance it. Again, the food was good. But between the slow service and the hostage negotiation approach to canned soda distribution, it's hard not to leave slightly irritated and oddly dehydrated.
My sister brought me to this beautiful brunch place! It's pretty viral. I forgot that I also saw these pancakes online. They have so many things I want to try and they have monthly specials. I got the mimosa cold brew flight special. It was champagne and cold brew. It was so interesting and so great! I loved every flavor. I also got the sampler toast and I didn't realize it was going to be on such thick soft bread. It was so delish! It had a 1/2 plece of toast with smashed avocado and cooked salmon topped with cherry tomatoes, capers and onion, a 1/2 piece of toast with smashed avocado, egg & bacon, and a 1/2 piece of toast with smashed avocado and cherry tomatoes. My sister got The Journey pancakes. They were so scrumptious. Omg, it was so fun to watch them pour the syrup and sprinkles. I've been thinking about these pancakes a lot. I want to go back so badly!

I would've given it five stars , but had to take one star away for using food color which is a huge no no for me due to researched and documented health concerns. We ordered pistachio waffles and low in behold we got dark colored green waffles. I was very disappointed. Everything else was going well until the waffles arrived. I would still come back, I'll just not order the green waffles, or next time I'll ask if they can omit the food color. But it's probably a pre-mixed batch. Other than that, food is good, service is good, ambiance is good. I'll definitely be back. read more

Visited Madre's for brunch after a morning hike, and it really delivered on food and ambience. We got there around 10am on a Saturday and were seated right away--no wait, which was a pleasant surprise. The vibe is bright, stylish, and fun with great music and vibrant decor. The menu is playful, featuring things like mimosa flights and latte flights that make the whole experience feel a little extra. I ordered the Ensenada omelette, which was packed with seafood and perfectly paired with a salad and half a baked potato. My friends ordered the chilaquiles with steak, though the steak was forgotten initially and brought out after we pointed it out. We also tried both latte flights--my favorite was the specialty flight, full of nostalgic, and unique flavors. The classic latte flight was more standard and didn't stand out. The only drawback was the service. Our waitress wasn't rude, just noticeably disengaged--no smiles, no warmth, and her demeanor felt out of place in such a fun, inviting space. It didn't ruin our experience, but the contrast was hard to miss. A few basic things were missed too, like refilling water and bringing salad dressing--all brought once asked. Overall, this is a solid 4-star spot. The food is yummy, the atmosphere has all the good vibes, and there's more I want to come back for (especially the strawberry pancakes and churro French toast)! read more

Not Sure Where All The Hype Comes From, The Food Was Okay, They Charge Extra For Everything. Crema, Queso And To Top It Of They Barely Put Any On Your Plate, Probably With The Intention To Make You Pay For More. The Avocado I Get But 7 Dollars? The Table Next To Us Left Almost All Their Plates Completely Full. Service Was Okay, They Don't Come Around Often But You Can Definitely Hear The Chatting At The Bar Or In The Kitchen. The Place Is Nice And Cute But Definitely Not Worth It. I Must Say The Coffee Is Good. Also I Saw Another Review Mention The Bathroom, I Guess They Really Don't Care Cause The Picture I Took, Looks Exactly Like The One They Took. read more

We came here for brunch with another couple on Sunday afternoon. We got there around 11:30 AM, and it was about one hour and 15 minute wait. There is a waiting area outside in front of the restaurant. When we came in, the space is very cute. It's a more intimate space than the location in Rancho, but it was lively with the decor. We were able to bring our dog, they were very flexible to let him sit under the table. My partner got the Chilaquiles and I got the eggs Benedict. My food was amazing just like the other location. I think it was also reasonably price for brunch. They also had a variety of fun mimosas. We did not get any, but they definitely looked great on the carrier and they came in so many cute colors. We definitely recommend coming again, but maybe a little earlier in the day or a weekday, to avoid the long wait. read more

Absolutely horrendous customer service. We were seated for about 15 mins if not longer before someone came to take our drink order, meanwhile another table by us sat after and received their drinks before anyone spoke to us. Food was ok BUT they brought out one dish 15 mins after the rest. They comped that dish but the rest of the food wasn't very tasty by the time we ate it because it had gotten cold by the time the entire party got their meal. The avocado toast was extremely bland. I saw another review from today discussing bad customer service, not sure if it's the staff on today or the standard and expected here read more

This place was amazing! We had brunch with a group of 7. We had drinks and the food was delicious. The music was awesome if you like bad bunny which we do! The service was in a timely manner and she was the sweetest! It's Latin theme so they had birria eggs Benedict, frijoles fresco and cafe de abuelita. Perfect Day! read more

This place is a real gem! I love places that have a strong vegan menu, I am vegan but my son is not, breakfast and brunch is our favorite, I treated him to Madres for his 19th birthday, he loved it! From the parking lot, entrance and walking in, intentional art and photo ops really brings a fun and playful experience and over all ambiance. The colors and decor is absolutely beautiful and picture worthy. Service was very friendly, attentive and fast. Food is extremely flavorful, delicious, hot and fresh! Portions were perfect! I really enjoyed my experience from beginning to end and I will definitely come back! Pricy but worth every dime! Excellent service is a bonus! read more

Huge shoutout to Alexis for making our morning! From the moment we sat down, he was so warm and welcoming. He's got that rare mix of being super 'on point' with the details while having such a fun, charismatic personality. If you get Alexis as your server, you're in for a treat! read more

It smelled so good I couldn't wait to take a photo! It was yummy! 9/10 food, 3/10 service - she didn't want to split our bill and didn't refill our waters. She barely checked up on us as well! I'd understand if the restaurant was filled, but there was only three tables there. I work in customer service and definitely know that the way you treat the customer, makes the whole experience. We were frustrated especially because we had asked for water twice and never received it. Ambiance reminds me of Kalaveras, there's paintings inside! read more
