    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.

    Delish food. American food, as well as, Mexican foods with a delightful fresh spin. Love their mimosa flights. Everything we've had here is do yum: green chilaquiles , breakfast sandwich, waffles with fresh fruit, Madres chilaquiles and other items. 10/10 food and drink experience Good for large parties, too.

    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!

    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! We each ordered our dishes - I got the chilaquiles which were delicious! We got our mimosa flights and had a great time! Everyone enjoyed their food, and we will be back soon!

    Steak and eggs

    Steak and eggs was okay, steak needs more flavor. Potatoes were great. & the coffee was delicious

    Beautiful abundant oatmeal!

    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.

    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.

    Green Chilaquiles $17 + $7 extra for steak

    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. Drinks were great! Wish they wouldn't charge $7 more for the steak on the chilaquiles. Service was awesome! No complaints there. If Food quality was better, I'd give it 5 stars!

    Divorciados.
    Sontue P.

    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.

    Love coming to Madres!! Delicious chilaquiles and great service!!! Shout out to Ana, our waitress for the her awesome service. Let the mimosas flow.....

    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.

    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.

    I have been wanting to try this place. We booked a reservation thru Yelp and were quickly seated upon arrival. The restaurant is super cute. It was busy but didn't feel crowded or rushed. Staff was friendly and answered all of our questions about the menu. The food and drinks were delicious. The portions are also big. Will definitely be back to try different items on the menu.

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.

Walking inside, it definitely gives off that classic, old-school diner vibe. We were seated right away since it wasn't too busy at the time.

The portions were decent, but overall, the food quality was just okay. Nothing terrible, just not particularly memorable, it had a bit of that "cheap" taste to it. That said, the service really stood out. Our server was kind and patient, especially while dealing with my little one being a bit of a handful, which I definitely appreciated.

I ordered the New York steak medium well with rice pilaf and a salad with ranch. My food also came with corn and 2 onion rings. I received my steak and it was medium rare, I decided to just eat it. The steak was okay, the rice was disgusting, it was not rice pilaf at all. It was some sort of orange rice that was lacking flavor and tasted rubbery. The corn was your basic corn no flavor. The onion rings were just okay. The salad was extremely watered down, you couldn't even taste the ranch as it was drowned in water. The only thing I liked from this place was the banana shake and the service. I do not see us returning to this place as we were very let down.
