Cute brunch spot with plenty of flavor! I stopped by Madres Brunch in Whittier and had a really enjoyable brunch experience. The restaurant has a cute, vibey interior, and the dishes are definitely photo-worthy. We started with the rainbow pancakes, which came as a stack of five colorful pancakes. They were definitely fun to look at and made for a great start to the meal. The Madres chilaquiles came with juicy birria and a flavorful red sauce. The steak was also surprisingly tender, and I definitely recommend asking about their house-made salsas to add even more flavor. The birria Benedict was one of my favorites. It came with a side of consomé, and the combination of the juicy birria, runny eggs, and English muffin soaking up all that goodness worked really well together. The pastor omelette was another standout, with flavorful pastor and sweet pineapple that gave the dish a nice balance. Overall, Madres Brunch is a fun spot if you're looking for a brunch with flavorful Mexican-inspired dishes and a cute atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the Whittier area! read more

The ambiance was pretty and festive. The service is friendly and they are really trying to make it in Uptown which is hard. The menu is extensive and a bit overwhelming. Too many choices. The food was underwhelming. It is unfortunate. I wanted it to be good as it was for a special occasion. The portions are small and again they focus on presentation and pretty dishes. I would have preferred a smaller menu. I would have liked to have a more flavorful meal. I had pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs. Bacon was not a good quality, super thin. Pancakes were less than average. They could have come out of a box. Eggs moist. My husband had chilaquiles and they were not appetizing at all. Small portion. Salsa was in a tiny plastic container and could have come out a jar. Coffee was good . This recommendation for the owners is to make it better so that it can be here for years to come. Simplify your menu. Review each recipe for flavor and portions. Maybe make a weekend brunch menu special and make it delicious. Try better quality ingredients. Spend less on presentation and ambiance. Make it taste better and people will come back again. Best of luck in the future. read more

My boyfriend and I came here on a Sunday around 12:20 PM. It was busy, but we got seated in about 20 minutes. The place is really cute and I loved the murals. It was definitely crowded and loud, but that didn't bother me. He ordered the Nutella French Toast and I got the Carbonara Chilaquiles. The portions were huge--honestly a little too huge for him. I kept stealing bites of the plantains, which were probably my favorite thing we had. The hash browns were really good too. The food took a little while to come out, and my chilaquiles were a bit cold when I got them. They still tasted good, but I think I would have enjoyed them more if they had been hot. Overall, it was okay. I think I expected to be more impressed than I was. I'd give it another try on a slower day and maybe order something different, but it wasn't a place that immediately made me want to come back. My boyfriend wasn't really a fan, though. read more

We were looking for a brunch place that was open after 2pm and this gem on a Sunday afternoon. We walked in and while it was kinda busy were helped soon. We ordered all kinds of food and everything we had was good. The restaurant is clean and has a cool vibe, not super Instagramable but not bad. We also got two margaritas they were good and strong! The food was the best part! read more

I went to madres brunch in uptown Whittier couple times now. I enjoy the food I usually get the chilaquiles "the green ones are my favorite". Also tried the birria sandwich, parfait and pancakes. The coffee is a hit and miss I feel like I haven't found one that I really like. The hot chocolate is so good!! Location is not that big but they do have several tables. The only thing is that sometimes they do take a little long to take out the food but I understand they are busy for the most part. read more

We had a great time. The restaurant is perfect for catching up over a meal and drink during the day. It was lively and busy but the staff were attentive and checked up on us often. We did feel like it was time to ago after eating, but it comes with the territory of a busy brunch place. The food was good here and the mimosas had nice and different flavors if you're feeling adventurous. read more

Some brunch spots are all hype, while others surprise you with a few standout dishes that make the visit worthwhile. A weekend brunch with friends brought me to Madre's Whittier, where the menu offered plenty of tempting options--and a few unexpected lessons about ordering seafood. I tried the Ensenada Omelet, loaded with shrimp, salmon, crab, and octopus. Now, I'm a seafood lover, but octopus and I aren't exactly close friends. I asked if it could be removed, but since the seafood mix is pre-made, the octopus had already RSVP'd to the party. The omelet was good, topped with a creamy sauce, but not something I'd order again. The crab appeared to be imitation crab, and while everything was prepared well, it just wasn't a standout for me. The real star? The strawberry pancakes. Delicious! Next time, I'd order those with a side of eggs and call it a win. I also sampled the chilaquiles, and now that's a dish I'd come back for. The Tiramisu Latte was another favorite--not overly sweet and packed with that classic tiramisu flavor I love. A special shoutout to our waitress, Annie, who was attentive, friendly, and made our brunch experience even better. My Verdict: Skip the Ensenada Omelet and build your brunch around the stars of the menu instead. The strawberry pancakes are the must-order item, the chilaquiles are a strong savory choice, and the Tiramisu Latte ties everything together. If you order wisely, Madre's delivers a brunch worth coming back for. read more

Came to Madres Brunch in Whittier with my family after a friend highly recommended it, and I have to say -- they were absolutely right! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the great energy and positive vibes. The atmosphere is welcoming, lively, and just puts you in a good mood right away. The service was awesome -- friendly, attentive, and on point the entire time. And the food? Excellent. My compliments to the chef! Everything we ordered was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The variety on the menu is impressive -- honestly, it made me want to order more than one plate because everything looked so good. If you're in the Whittier area, do yourself a favor and stop by. I guarantee you won't regret it. Highly recommended! read more

I really wanted to love this place because the space itself is adorable and the reviews had me pretty excited to try it. The atmosphere is definitely cute and very photo-worthy. I ordered the chilaquiles rojos along with a dulce de leche latte. Unfortunately, the chilaquiles just didn't quite hit the mark for me flavor-wise. I usually love chilaquiles and order them often, so I had high expectations, but these felt like they were missing the depth and balance of flavor I was hoping for. The latte was better and had a nice creamy flavor, though it leaned a little too sweet for my personal taste. I could see it being perfect for someone who enjoys sweeter coffee drinks. Overall, while the aesthetic and vibe were great, the food itself didn't fully live up to the hype for me. read more

The girlies wanted brunch. I hadn't been to this spot since it had been changed from it's former ownership and I was pleasantly surprised at how cute it was!

I was here to celebrate my daughter promoting from elementary. It's been a place I been wanting to go but was worried....it was all hype. Let me tell you it's not. Service amazing all the servers were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I had the madre's chilaquiles and they were delicious. The sauce is home made has a little kick to it. Presentation is beautiful but taste matches it. My kids loved the experience and my hubby enjoyed his meal too!! Cleaned his plate ...glad I got a picture before. Definitely recommend to celebrate or have a nice meal. Then you can go shopping or go to the movies next door. read more

Madres was really cute. The mole chilaquiles had nice flavor however they were a little dry. I like a saucy chilaquile. We also ordered the oatmeal and that was gorgeous! Oh my gosh, so many yummy topping like nuts and fruits. The staff were very nice and attentive. Over all, I do recommend this restaurant. Perhaps for me, I'll request extra sauce on my chilaquiles to suit my taste. read more

Took myself on a breakfast date and found Madres Brunch on Yelp! The restaurant was good mom and pop. I would definitely come back to try other options on the menu. It was my first time and the restaurant is in a good location with parking in front and behind. I ordered the mole chilaquiles which were flavorful with a small little kick of spice. The service took a bit long to order which I would recommend being patient. Overall I had a good experience and worth checking out if you're craving chilaquiles. read more

SOOOOO GOOD! Got the matcha waffles, so delicious. Their chilaquiles SOOOO GOOD. Everything was so tasty. The servers were not very attentive so unfortunately we did not tip. We were neglected after being sat down. It was a week day so it was nice and quiet and the seating was pretty fast. It was all perfect except for the neglect of the servers! Thank you! read more

Cute vibes. Came for breakfast on a Sunday and we were seated immediately. Upon leaving, there was a crowd waiting outside to be seated so they seem to get real busy after 12pm. I love the variety drink options from coffee flights to mimosa flights. I opted for their special of the day which was the Ferrer Roche Latte and it was so good! As for the food, it was mainly sweet breakfast options. We got to try the french toast, waffles, and chilaquiles. They did mess up on one of our orders but they made it right and removed it from the tab. Overall, the service was quick and they were welcoming. Cute breakfast/brunch spot for the family or even a girls brunch. read more

When hubby is off midweek and we have time we love stepping out for brunch. This time I was craving Madres' Mole Chilaquiles so we drove in & it was worth the wait! I had the chilaquiles & hubby had the Popeye Omelette with a side of hash browns, which had a whole different spin from the traditional hash browns. These were a little mushy and red from the salsa mixed in... regardless they were delicious! I had an Affogato coffee (YUM!) and an Oat Milk Horchata Latte, perfection. The ambiance was fun with people drinking misosas enjoying the yummy food. The service was always fast and friendly. read more

Stopped by for brunch and started with a Pacífico Michelada. The server asked if he could pour it for me, which was a nice touch and appreciated. Ordered the Steak & Eggs, a 10oz flat iron steak, two sunny side up eggs, country potatoes, and toast. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare, but lacked a strong sear and needed a bit more seasoning for my taste. I found myself adding salt to bring out the flavor. The sunny side up eggs were cooked well, with set whites and rich, runny yolks that paired nicely with the steak and potatoes. The country potatoes had a good texture, soft on the inside with crispy skin, but also needed a little more seasoning to really stand out. The chile de árbol salsa had a nice kick and helped add some much needed flavor to the plate. Toast was okay. The slices were a bit thick, so the center stayed too soft and did not get as crispy as I prefer. Overall, the brunch was decent and executed well texture wise, but leaned a bit bland for my preference and needed extra seasoning to really shine. read more

Food was very good. Onion brick was awesome & steaks were on point. Grilled chicken breast were also very good. Everything came out hot. Great service read more

got to try out this branch of madres! so first time at this one! Food: -chilasquiles with birrria: it was solid! a lot of meat and soooo many chips. I couldn't finish all of it o_o but it was a worthwhile one! I think next time, I'll try the verde chilasquiles as I'm big on cotija cheese and beans!! Ambiance: -different vibe than the other location, this felt a little more like old town feels and vibes Service: -prompt, friendly, and lovely staff! Overall: -Madres is a solid brunch spot that's on our rotation! ...and I just found out a new one opened up that's even CLOSER to me so...look alive for the third review! read more

The service and food here alone deserves 5 stars. Seemed like they are known for their chilaquiles, and it did not disappoint. For the price, the portions are fairly hefty so make sure to come on an empty stomach. I got birria on the side because they initially forgot to add it until I asked, and the birria was tender and good. The pistachio latte here is a bit sweet, so I personally wouldn't order it again, but definitely would come back for the food. Fyi, theres a parking lot with 3 hours free parking behind the restaurant which has less flowing traffic compared to the street, so I would park there. read more

OMG SO GOOD! It's like being back in Mexico! From the outside, to be honest, it looks kinda weird but once you sit down and start eating, it all makes sense. The colors, the music, the energy, it all comes together as a vibe. Love it! Food and drinks are absolutely incredible. Plus they open earlier than the other restaurants in the area. That's how we found it. Lol. Service is amazing and the place is spotless clean. Instead of the 5 second rule, you can apply the 5 minute rule here. Hahahaha. So happy to have a new go to breakfast place in Whittier. Enjoy! read more

Food is always hard to review because everyone's palette is different. It was our first time here but I don't think we will be going back. It was expensive for what it was. Portion size was good but the food was ok. The house coffee was horrible it tasted burnt, my husband had the Mexican coffee and he said there was a weird after taste. The service was good. Staff was polite but didn't really check on you. And nothing like having a waiter blow his nose and not wash his hands after, just continued to serving his customers. The ambiance was colorful. read more

Location is nice and big. Food is had was average. I tried the green chilaquiles with steak. It was not what I expected. The tortilla on th chilaquiles were a little soggy and food was not hot.

I ordered the divorciados. The menu made it sound appetizing but the everything was bland and meh. They could've served a whole baked potato but it was a half of potato that was over cooked and dried out. Parking can be hard since it's uptown but park down the street and walk a few blocks. Customer service was pleasant. read more

It's located in a quaint little old town looking area in Whittier, street parking available. Our first impression was that the vibe was a day club x 1980s diner, IG ready backgrounds x Betty boop mural, quite an interesting combo. We ordered the birria omelette and wanted to order the Los Cubanos which they didn't have so instead we got the Ranchero. The food was good but a little under seasoned for our taste, but easily adjusted by adding some condiments/hot sauce. Flat white is on par with what is expected from a brunch spot. Service was good but our wait for food was about 25 minutes. read more

We were seated at 11:20 and food didn't serve until 12:05... very inefficient, the waiters and waitresses were all over the place but no food served. All the tables were waiting for their food. We told them to cancel our orders if food were not made, then suddenly the cinnamon toast came, we then had to wait for another fifteen minutes to get the waffles. Food was cold, the latte was always just warm not hot. Sorry, won't come back again to this place. read more

We came in for Mother's Day brunch. Put ourselves on the waiting list 2 hours ahead and still had to wait another 35 after checking in. Everyone is very nice, our server was very busy but attentive and other servers are very willing and accommodating to bring you whatever that you ask for. I've been to the Madre's in Placentia before and I do have to say the food portions are way bigger at that location But also it isn't his crowded is the one here in uptown Whittier. The ambience is like any other brunch spot very busy and loud. The food. I can't say one bad thing about this place!! although this portions are smaller the food is the same. The birria Chilaquiles, Birria omelette and birria breakfast sandwich 10/10! read more

We did have a large party of 25. Everything took very long. Our water came out without ice. We waited for our food for at least an hour. Our party's food came out at different times.
