My sister and brother-in-law introduced us to Maderas Steak and Ribs, and I'm so glad they did! We had a wonderful double date and an all-around fantastic dining experience. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The steaks were delicious, the appetizers were full of flavor, and the homemade dessert was the perfect way to end the meal. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. What really made the experience special was the atmosphere and hospitality. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming ambiance that makes you want to sit back and enjoy your time there. The owner even stopped by our table to share some of the restaurant's history and background, which added such a personal touch to the evening. If you're looking for a unique dining experience with great food, great service, and a memorable atmosphere, Maderas Steak and Ribs is definitely worth a visit. We had an amazing time and can't wait to come back! read more

This was my first time dining at this restaurant. The appetizers were excellent and definitely the highlight of the meal. The entrées were good, but nothing particularly memorable and not quite what I was expecting. Based on what I had heard, I anticipated a more upscale dining experience. Once we arrived, however, it became clear that the restaurant has a more casual and relaxed atmosphere. That's not necessarily a negative--it just wasn't what I had envisioned. Overall, the food was decent, the service was good, and now that I have a better understanding of the restaurant's style and concept, I would definitely return. My expectations were simply different going in, and I think I would enjoy the experience even more on a future visit. read more

First time here. We came to celebrate my husband's birthday. Our waitress was Jenn. She was welcoming, sweet, professional and efficient. The hot complimentary sour dough bread melt in your mouth. Everything we ordered was delicious. My strawberry mojito was made perfectly. It was not too sweet. I was able to taste the liquor. My husband received a complimentary strawberry cheesecake . Which was the BEST I've ever had. It tastes amazing!! It wasn't too sweet. It was very creamy, rich and decadent. Ambience is chill, dim lights, really sets the mood as grown up vibes. Live music starts at 6p.m read more

I've been wanting to go to this place for years and this last past weekend my wife and I went to celebrate our birthdays. The service was phenomenal! Our waitress recommended some things and answered all our questions. When the food came out (which was pretty quick!) everything was delicious! The streaks were cooked to perfection and the sauces WERE EVERYTHING!! To finish the meal, they brought out the new york cheesecake and it hit all the taste buds! This place is legit and will be coming back to celebrate all my life achievements! read more

This restaurant is becoming a family favorite. My wife and I eat here for lunch usually but it's become a celebration place too. We came here my wife's birthday, my dad's birthday, and we came here Christmas Eve with my parents. My mom's a vegetarian and they have a full sized vegetarian menu you can ask for with lots of choices. Her veggie burger was massive! My dad always gets the Santa Fe which is a flat iron steak topped with manchego cheese and hatch chilis. I loved that steak too but for Xmas Eve I topped my steak with chipotle peppers and blue cheese. That was pure heavenly. My wife had the peppercorn filet mignon which she loved. Tri tip is always a safe bet. Top it with BBQ sauce and you can't go wrong. Yesterday we returned and tried their entree salads which are delicious. I really like the huge selection of side dishes too. I can't resist the corn nuggets! Drinks are cheap and service is usually really good. Only thing preventing 5 stars is the desserts are pretty bad except the ice cream and there are inconsistencies with cooking the steaks. None of us liked the cheesecake and my dad said the keylime pie is the worst he's had. My wife and I split the bananas foster which was really bad. I do love their vanilla ice cream topping with Pedro Ximinez sherry. Unique and delicious. My mom had this enormous brownie sundae. She's ordered it three times so I assume she approves. I am really glad to have rediscovered this place and cannot wait to try more stuff. The brunch menu has some tasty looking items. read more

Wifey and I were running errands along the OC coast. We wanted to keep healthy with some protein and veggies. Well Maderas Steak and Ribs was a fabulous find ! Parking can be cramped on a busy night keep that in mind. We got there and were seated right away. Hostess and staff were very nice. The place has an upscale but local vibe. Best way to describe it's a feeling like you're going to see a good friend. The old fashioned was Ok. The margarita was also ok. The wilted spinach with garlic and feta was so good I had it as my entree and also as a side to my 14oz prime rib. The prime rib was super tender and flavorful. At first it looked less pink than I would expect medium rare to be - but no worry it was juicy tender and one of the best I have had. Oh did I mention the owner frequently stops by the tables and socializes. Total welcoming feeling. read more

This is such a wonderful place to have a date. The ambiance is romantic yet lively. The bartenders are so friendly, as well as the servers. The food is out of this world delicious. My husband and I have been coming here for years to celebrate special occasions. We recently celebrated our 16 year "together " anniversary, and knew this would be the perfect spot. My husband loves the ribs, Mac and cheese, and green beans. He orders the same thing every time. I usually get tri tip, but this time I got the sirloin. It is AMAZING! By far one of the best sirloin steaks I have ever had. The inside was a perfect medium rare, and the outside had a nice char. I added the seared blue cheese crust and it was absolutely fabulous. I got cole slaw, which I also always get. I tried the dirty rice for the first time and it was so delicious. I will always get that from now on. I love a good rice pilaf, dirty rice and this one was top notch. The bread that is complimentary is delicious. Its a lovely sourdough roll. The cheesecake is also the best around! I have yet to try a better cheesecake. The wine selection is great, and the martinis are glorious. I recommend the cucumber martini. Its very refreshing. The live music is always a hit and we look forward to celebrating here. read more

We have dined here probably 8 times in the past 4 years and we've had hit and miss experiences. We are not big fans of their steaks or prime rib. We are big fans of their burgers, BBQ items, their fresh hot dinner rolls, their deserts, and especially their New Mexico inspired menu items. We came for their small weekend brunch menu this morning that is only good from 11 - 2 pm. Their version of the green chilaquiles (El Paso style) include beef tips with melted white cheese and New Mexico green chili's is outstanding! The semi-pureed black beans has great texture and flavor and perhaps made with a little lard? A must to to get with any of their New Mexican dishes is a side of their flour tortillas shipped fresh from New Mexico. Absolutely the best I've ever had. Early meals and dining here is a better bet than evening dining in my opinion. read more

I had a good meal here with a friend several years ago. My girlfriend and I finished up a leisure activity a few blocks away so we decided to visit Maderas since I was in the mood for a good steak. The front of the restaurant looks classy with stacked stone, nice exterior molding, and wood window and door accents. They share a parking lot with a small strip mall and there is not a lot of parking. The last time I was here, I had to park on Katella a few hundred feet away from the restaurant. However, this time we arrived around 4pm on a Sunday afternoon and got a parking spot right in front. The inside has a nice warm and cozy feel and there is a good sized bar area. We ordered a wedge salad to split for a starter. Unfortunately, the bacon seemed like it was barely cooked at all and was soft and mushy. You usually expect a wedge salad to have the bacon be at least a little crispy. I asked if they could make us another one with some crispier bacon but our server said all the bacon was batch prepared so we settled for another one without the bacon which was good otherwise. For my entrée, I ordered the Sante Fe steak. I have never had a steak before with this preparation and it was really good. The flat iron steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rare and the hatch chiles and melted manchego cheese on top was a great flavor combination. The spinach was prepared perfectly, had a bold garlic flavor, and the feta cheese on top provided a nice complement. The green beans were blistered nicely and had a lighter garlic flavor than the spinach. My girlfriend had the Thai Salmon from the specials menu. The salmon was cooked well done as ordered but it was a little too drenched with sauce. She had the green beans and the garlic mashed potatoes which just had a little garlic flavor. It must have been good because the plate was empty afterwards. Our server was friendly and took good care of us. The prices are just a little bit above average. Overall, we had a good meal aside from the wedge salad, and we would probably return once in a while if in the area. read more

It was a busy night for a dinner date, Valentine weekend. I had a different expectation of a steak house not realising a lot of factors had played into it. Maderas is a local steak place in Los Alamitos and the locals love it. So, I have to give it a try on this special night when an hour and half was the normal wait time. The place was buzzing like more of a bar than a romantic steak place. Fast forward to our table, our steak was divine. I believe the owner/manager checked on us making sure we have the best service and enjoyed the food. Yes we did and we will come back hopefully on a less busy weekend, just a night out on the town to enjoy the slow moments and let my steak melt on my mouth. read more

Ambiance- aesthetically the restaurant is welcoming a bit busy but it's enjoyable and fun.good place to come with family and or friends and enjoy a great meal . Food - the food was good not stellar just good . The steak was perfectly cooked and ribs were on point. All sides were great except the Mac and cheese it's like it came out of a box. The potato soup and tomato bisk soup were really good . If you're looking for a restaurant that is fun to come hang out with family or friend have a decent meal then this is it . read more

We tried this place because a friend recommended it. It was our first time here. There is not alot of parking we found a place on the street a block away. It is a small steak house and busy most of the time. The service was ok took a while to get a server after the guy put our waters down. I ordered filet mignon and my husband french rib eye cut. We both got spinach for our side and I got ranch beans for my other side and my husband a baked potato. My husband's bake potato was so cold the butter didn't melt. By the time our server came around we were almost done with our meal. Basically he felt his whole plate sat before it got served. Food temp was less than warm. My food was delicious and temp ok. The server didn't come and ask how everything was otherwise we would have sent his plate back. This is a pricey place the service should up their game. We noticed too as we got a bank notification that the tip was $10 more dollars than what we put down. read more

Food is great. Service is welcoming and not hovering. Gets busy, especially weekends do make a reservation if you can. Drinks are a little pricey and not consistent in presentation for the value. Food is seasoned and prepared with a variety of sauces. Great to share a couple of plates and sides. read more

Delicious food and great service! I recommend the calamari and the sauteed veggies as a side. The bread is also delicious!

Seated quickly. Wait staff was friendly and helpful. Food was great. Many sides to choose from. Only disappointment was they only serve prime rib on Friday to Sunday. I ordered tri-tip and it was tender. Every one was as ordered and delicious. I have to go back to have prime rib. read more

The food here is amazing. but What makes it special is when they have Violin and Guitar entertaining you throughout the dinner. This duo is incredible. Extremely talented and personable. read more

I really found my new little hidden gem. It's my second time back and we got the prime rib. It's here for the weekend. Made to perfection. The service is excellent. It wasn't crowded and we asked for hot sourdough with their whipped butter. Oh! Don't leave without trying banana fosters. Sooooo devine! Pricing is just right for the quality. I'm now a new fan! read more

Maderas Steak & Ribs - Bananas Foster (serves 2) - Barbeque Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Decided to go here for lunch today with my son because hey its Friday,and who doesn't like a good steak on a Friday especially for lunch. i've heard good things about this place, so I was curious to check it out for myself. The waitress was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated and I asked her for suggestions on the menu which I thought would be helpful in making my decision I could've opted for something off of the lunch menu, which would've been cheaper, but she recommended the prime rib as it was only served on weekends and you know what ? why not. My son who is 10 and really does like good burgers opted for the kids burger special, He usually orders off the adult menu, but said he wasn't very hungry. This is where it all went bad, my prime rib, looked like it had been straight broiled and never seen an oven the whole time that it was cooking, not only was it tough but it's supposed to be prime and I'm telling you right now this thing was barely choice. There was no marble or vein in it and to make matters worse they cut off all the exterior of the prime rib ,reasons being unknown, but it was definitely weird (as seen inPhotos.) my son's burger was sad too. This thing had absolutely no dressing, no lettuce ,no tomato just bun meat and cheese. The damn thing didn't even have ketchup on it for christ sake. Honestly, super disappointed in this meal look at the pictures and see for yourself. I'm telling you right now. This meat is absolutely not prime as advertised because it was so chewy that it was almost inedible It felt like this place was trying to do a lot, but really struggling with its identity of fine dining. Probably should've told the waitress about my food but then again she never asked how it was so I didn't want to be that guy and just left it alone. 100% will NOT be back and I would not recommend it to others either. read more

Visited last night with my family for my birthday service was good...but the food not! My daughters salad was SUPER OVER DRESSED! My son inlaw could not get the taste of blue cheese out of his mouth, I ordered the filet Oscar there SO MUCH BUTTER melted butter on my plate and no crab! I'm now sick to my stomach and didn't eat all. And there was NO crab! I called today to speak with the manager and the level of desperate I received was unbelievable ! The man on the phone refused to talk to the manager and was SO RUDE! I told him that I was going to post a review on YELP and he said go ahead! Never ever going there again read more

Came here with friends, and we're so glad we did! Love finding gems like this. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, and our server was amazing, her recommendations were spot on! **Update! Our server name is Christy*** Stated off with the onion brick! So glad we did! Way better than Lucille's! Steak & Ribs: The steak was great, and the baby back ribs were a must-try! Highly recommend upgrading. The mac & cheese was next-level good, going to get that every time! Steak Plate: Cooked well-done for my wife, and she loved it! The corn fritters were delicious, and the mashed potatoes were on point. The only minor letdown was the garlic butter, it needed something, just can't put my finger on it. Tri-Tip Sandwich: Super tender meat, perfectly toasted bun, not burnt, just the right amount of char. THE BREAD... WOW enough said about that! We'll definitely be coming back! read more

So the food and service rules. But I gotta be honest the bar area smells like straight sewer. So does the bathroom area. The vent I think is right by the bar and they don't clean it properly. Or something not right is going on there. I wanted to go back because of the amazing food. The service was just as good, but I cannot handle that smell. Also, they will try to cram you into small table set ups. If you ask nicely for a larger table, they can make it happen. read more
