Had great food and service would come here again and again ! Also great location right on Avondale blvd

beautiful waitress, and good service Ximena Campos, very good food, and I love the atmosphere

So many options on the menu! Our server recommended the salsa served hot - not spicy hot but temperature hot. It was fire roasted and served warm (a first for me) but delicious! Homemade corn tortillas are so good! The staff is very friendly. The decor and vibe is cool too. Outdoor seating on the covered patio is available. read more

3.5-4 Good spot for brunch if you are wanting Hispanic / Mexican food. It does get busy, there is indoor and outdoor seating. It is very loud, loud music playing. Customer service was good. The time it took to get our food was good too, didn't take a long time. We ordered the chilaquiles for two. The portion is a good size. The salsa on the chilaquiles was okay. The asada and chicken were really good tho. Tried their tres leches, it was good too. read more

I noticed some Tesla charging ports in the entrance but were not operational and the staff told me the management is working g with the shipping center management to get them operational. We were seated sooner than expected. The ambiance and decor is very classy and inviting. Music keeps the vibes going I did notice everything very clean. The cafe de olla is delicious and comes with complimentary conchita. Our food was made to order and just as we asked. Everything was delicious and the homemade corn tortillas were bomb. I had salsa tatemada very good. Our server seemed to be very busy but still managed to provide great service to us. The menu has lots of items I can't wait to try. I will be back. I did like the chef coming out with everyone's order to each table. A nice touch. Bathrooms were clean and it made me smile. read more

I wanted to love this spot since it's new to Avondale and in a convenient location. However, while the interior decor is beautiful and the patio has full coverings from the sun, the food and service were lacking. The wait time for the food was roughly 30 minutes. We were there for brunch. My eggs came out hard which is overcooked from the over easy I requested. Hash browns were disgusting. Like they were cooked in old oil. We sat there for some time before the server came back to give us the check. I think standard good service is picking up the empty plates when dropping off the check. Or at least after collecting the payment. In conclusion, the atmosphere is pretty but the food and service were not good. Do not recommend. read more

Cute place, great vibe, indoor, outdoor and bar seating. Great music playing throughout. Service was good, early on a Sunday am wasn't too packed but by the time we left 930 there was a wait lined up outside. There were many things being served that I def want to come back and try. The relleno was sooo good and flavorful. My eggs, machaca, and hash browns was kinda plain, to my own fault but it was still flavorful! We will def be back. The prices were normal $14-22 per plate. read more

As far as a brand new restaurant goes, this place is doing everything right. Sure you might have your speed bumps along the way, but as some say, this place has "good bones". The service is extremely friendly, the restaurant is clean and stylish, and the food is original and flavorful. We ordered the Chilaquiles and the French Toast. Everything tasted great and the portions were large! We can't wait to see how this place grows, improves, and solidifies itself as a marquee brunch diner! read more

First time visiting and food was great ! Ambiance was great ! Service was great ! Waitress was Viviana she provided excellent service on top of it ! I do recommend to go early and if It's more than 6 people the wait time will be an hour for sure. We waited 56 minutes , even though host offer outside tables it was hot and we waited for inside tables . Overall it was good and honestly food portions are more than enough ! I order protein bowl and it was delicious ! I also order Mazapan iced coffee and it was ok not my favorite so switched to cucumber limon agua Fresca and it was delicious ! read more

Holy crap on a cracker! What a crap show. So excited to try this new restaurant, but what a disappointment. I will never return. The restaurant was freezing. They refused to close the patio, stating that it would not unlock and that people would be trapped outside. Because of this, we were freezing throughout our meal, and our food went cold within minutes of being served. Originally, we ordered iced mocha lattes that came out tasting like watered-down chocolate milk, 30 minutes after ordering, we received them. We returned this drink and got black coffee instead, which was barely recognizable as coffee; it tasted like warm tap water. We ordered an espresso martini that took 45 minutes to arrive, and it wasn't creamy. It was watered down. There was no espresso flavor. The Chilaquiles were ordered with Carne Asada and red and green sauce. It came out cold and congealed. My dining partner ordered a single pancake to go along with this. The pancake came out cold. The syrup was not warmed up. The butter was so cold that it could not even spread on the pancake. I ordered the Birria grilled cheese, which came with a cone and a bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapeño. This was the only part of the meal that either one of us enjoyed. The manager who spoke with us gave the impression that it was our fault for being uncomfortable with how poor the service was, the food quality, and the restaurant's temperature, even though other customers were complaining and changing tables. I felt like I was being gaslit into believing I was the issue, not the restaurant. read more

Really enjoyed our first visit here and recommend trying it. Their menu is really extensive and keep in mind, their brunch menu is separate from their standard menu. My cousin had the Chile Relleno de Brunch which was REALLY good. I will personally get that on my next visit. I ended up trying the Sopes de Desayuno which come with over easy eggs. I loved it. The chorizo that comes with it is very flavorful. We also enjoyed some aguas frescas which took me back to my childhood in Guadalajara. Overall, great time. Friendly staff. read more

Food is ok nothing special, had the menudo it was $18 for a medium size bowl with some seasoning and lime it was decent, definitely not worth the $18 better off going to food city. Waitresses were nice but definitely need more training on what the food items need when being taken to the table such as the menudo needs the tortillas, limes, oregano and chili flakes. I had to ask for them and took forever to bring making my menudo lukewarm. read more

We really tried to give this place a fair chance despite the disappointing service and long wait. At first, I was impressed by the restaurant itself and the variety on the menu. Unfortunately, it took over an hour for our food to arrive, and when it did, we were served the wrong items. There were only two of us, yet larger parties around us received their meals first and appeared to have correct orders. The table next to us experienced similar issues, which made the situation even more frustrating. The food itself did not meet expectations, especially for the price point, and we still did not receive everything we had ordered. We had to repeatedly flag down our server to ask about missing items. At one point, I even asked for the menu so we could clarify what we were supposed to be served, as it seemed there was confusion about the dishes. I remained polite and understanding, because my concern is never about the cost, but about receiving what I ordered and ensuring the team is knowledgeable about the menu. It was a very disappointing first impression and, unfortunately, will likely be our last visit. I could understand if they were overwhelmed or extremely busy, but that did not seem to be the case. read more

Went this morning. (4/24)This place was okay. My French toast was okay. Just a bit over priced for my opinion. Since it's just the concha French toast with fruit on top. That's it. If you want eggs or bacon or anything else that's separate. Unless they have something on the menu that comes with all of that. But who knows because the menu has a lot of options. But it was good. My husband ordered a chimichanga burrito portion was huge. He said it was good. Hotness was nice. But service was so-so. Took forever to get our drink order in, that we ended up ordering our food right away. And then someone else became our server??! But there was this couple sitting behind us and obviously she didn't like her food. But I over heard telling her that since. The owners weren't here and that the cooks didn't really care. Or that they didn't really do what they're supposed to be doing. Like wait what!! Maybe I misunderstood her because she was trying to talk very low like if she didn't want someone else to hear her. But overall it's was good. But it was all that. Maybe Will try it again but maybe for dinner. Because breakfast probably not. Ambience was okay. But it seems like they had bad bunny on repeat. Which was a bit annoying because I'm not really a fan. But that's just me. To each its own. Maybe try a variety of Spanish music. read more

I had the chorizo street taco, they were ok at best. Service was good. My biggest complaint was how LOUD the music was. Couldn't have a conversation without yelling, even the waitress had a hard time taking our order. It was so loud we thought we would have to text each other just to communicate. I'm sure the music could be lowered without having an impact on the ambiance. read more

I visited twice, first for breakfast and then for lunch. On my second visit, I ordered pozole, but I was quite disappointed. It didn't have enough hominy, and it wasn't fully cooked. There was a fair amount of meat, though. Pozole is traditionally served with cabbage, radishes, not onion, and cilantro--that's for menudo. On the bright side, the flavor was good. Cafe de olla is delicious and comes with a conchita. The waitress was a bit off, either distracted or making mistakes when we asked for simple things. I'll probably come back when waitresses get more experienced. Two different waitresses were getting the orders wrong. read more

The Birria tacos were good but don't come with anything for $20 and tasted like french toast they cooked it on the same grill they had just made French toast on. The green juice was good. They didn't offer water or chips and salsa. Not sure if you have to ask for those or not. The service leaves a bit to be desired. You feel like you are there for them not the other way around. I asked for my check and my waitress sat over there for five minutes on her phone and talking with the other waitresses. Overall, the place is a little loud and feels like a knock off of Hash Kitchen rather than its own concept. Very gimmicky. The menu is a bit all over the place. There's not a defined difference between the brunch menu and the dinner menu besides a couple breakfast menu items, but there is a hard stop between the two at 3 PM and a few of the appetizers that they probably should serve all day are only served after 3 PM. I probably won't be back, but if you are into the club, or doing a ladies night out before going elsewhere, then this is the place for you. read more

Absolutely loved our experience at Poca Madre! Such a beautiful restaurant and the food tasted amazing! The staff were fantastic and attentive. Highly recommend checking out this new restaurant. The decor was absolutely beautiful and the plating presentation was unique and added to the menu experience. You can tell a lot of thought and consideration went into the design, menu, presentation and food and they knocked it ALL out of the park! The only thing that was a little weird, was it was 'seat yourself' when we walked in but there's no sign or staff to tell you that so it was a little awkward at first but once we sat down, the staff were quick to come over and get us started. Loved this place and plan on making it a regular spot for us! Definitely come check it out before the influencers find it and it's too busy to get in. read more

This place is brand new and not a chain. The staff is getting up to speed here, but I will say for a new place they are doing a solid job. You may need a little patience while they get their footing but that should be expected. Everyone I came in contact with had a welcoming smile and was super friendly even if they still need a little time to learn the large menu. The food I have to say is absolutely outstanding. The tortillas are home made. The Chimichanga is huge. The Birria tasty. My only recommendation is a little larger container for salsa to go with the chips. My experience here was so much better than Barrio Queen. Let's face it, this part of town has a ton of Mexican restaurants to choose from and so far this is the best I've had out this way. It's a fantastic addition to not only The Blvd, but all of Avondale. The bar is nice and the patio is a great place to hang out. I'm definitely coming back for brunch to give the Chilaquiles a shot. read more

First time trying out this restaurant. Arrived on a Sunday around 10:30 am. As expected, one hour wait. Decided to sit at the bar because there were open seats. Waited 10 minutes for server to take our drink and food order. Food arrived 20 minutes later. I ordered the French Toast with bananas and my son had the Posole. I unfortunately my French Toast was dry. Took two bites and decided I wasn't going to eat it. I sat there for the next 25 minutes while my son finished his meal and the server finally asked me if we needed anything else. I told her to take my plate away because I didn't care for my meal. She responded my telling me "that's not what you told me". I responded, " I sat here the entire time watching my son eat his food and you never one asked me if I needed, wanted anything else, and you want to argue with me"? The audacity of this server. Needless to say, I will never return to this restaurant. I did have a conversation with the manager and he apologized but made no other offer. Needless to say I'll never go back. read more

I believe the intention of this new restaurant is to be different, good and unique, trying to implement an upscale experience in their menu and environment. However, I truly believe that you can do a better when you are trying to serve a $20 dollar plate plus tax. I ordered the Quesabirria (3 birria tacos) and each taco was full of fat (cueros). Disgusting in my opinion and overpriced if you serve this low quality of meat. read more

What a great surprise while traveling thru this area. Enjoyed such nice hospitality (Yes Kim..we mean you) and the food was delish. The fried pork rinds/fresh gauc was salty crunchy and almost a meal by itself. The southwest salad/chicken was just so very tasty..as well as the chicken tacos. It's always a hit or miss while traveling thru..hit this place. read more

Super long wait times, with no actual system to track place in line. We waited 30+ minutes, and it was very warm inside. They had the garage windows open when its 97+ outside. The ambiance was okay.. loud music playing while people are eating. We finally gave up waiting and went somewhere else. Not giving it low score because we didn't get to eat. read more

First time trying Poca Madre and it was really good! We tried the queso Fundido appetizer which was pretty good and the Pina colada agua Fresca tasted so fresh and the little jarrito they serve it in was a cute touch! The birria tacos were huge and filled with meat and had great flavor. The green chicken enchiladas were also delicious. The rice and beans were also. For dessert we tried the churros and they were hot and fresh. The service was great Kim was so nice and answered any questions we had about the menu and then even suggested for us to come back and try the brunch menu. We will definitely be back and I'm happy to have another local option here in Avondale! read more
