Throughout our visit, we had to ask multiple times for basic things, and the overall service just felt inattentive and unfriendly by some. The food itself was decent, which is why the experience was especially disappointing. We're Mexican ourselves and always enjoy supporting Mexican restaurants and trying places that serve food we grew up with, but good food alone isn't enough to bring us back. Considering there is almost always a long line and a significant wait to get a table, we expected the overall experience to be worth it. Unfortunately, for us, it wasn't. On top of that they added a 18% gratuity to the check! There are too many great Mexican restaurants with both good food and warm, welcoming service to justify the wait. We would not return by choice!

Even though the place was buzzing with energy and clearly a local favorite, the team handled the weekend crowd seamlessly. The staff was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and fast, making the entire experience feel smooth from start to finish. Since there were five of us, we ordered a variety of dishes to share family-style, which turned out to be the best decision. The absolute star of the table was the pancakes--they are truly outstanding! They nailed both the texture and the flavor: golden on the outside, insanely fluffy on the inside, and rich without feeling overly heavy. The waffles were equally delicious, holding a fantastic crisp on the edges while remaining light in the center. To top it all off, the drink selection was top-tier. Whether you get their specialty coffees or refreshing iced beverages, or even hot tea. Every drink was crafted with care and tasted wonderful alongside the sweet and savory brunch items. It's rare to find a busy weekend brunch spot where both the food and the service shine this brightly. We will definitely be back!

Basin 141 is a bar and restaurant located in Old Town Monrovia. It has a very open layout with high…read moreceilings, good décor, and a nice vibe. We sat at a table by the front window facing the main drag. The area definitely has an old town feel with many restaurants and shops up and down the street. There is also a park right across the street. There is plenty of parking around the corner on the street and in a nearby lot. I started out with the Coughlin's Law cocktail (Aviation gin, house infused vanilla syrup, fresh lemon, egg white, lavender bitters, $16). It was a good light drink with light vanilla and lemon flavor. I always love a good foam top too. She started out with a Basil Paloma (Herradura silver tequila, muddled basil & grapefruit, fresh grapefruit juice, lime, simple syrup, seltzer, $15). It had good grapefruit and basil flavor, and was nicely balanced. We ordered the buffalo cauliflower appetizer ($14). The cauliflower was supposed to be grilled, but it seemed almost raw. The buffalo sauce definitely had a good kick. For my entrée, I had the Black Angus Basin Burger (manchego cheese, carmelized onions, arugula, special sauce, brioche bun, $19). The burger was excellent. The cheese, carmelized onions, and arugula was a great flavor combo. The fries were good, but I'd order them more crispy next time. She had the two taco plate with fish and potato tacos ($15). The taco shells were freshly fried, and it was a filling plate that she enjoyed. We had one more round of drinks and I had the Billionaire cocktail (Old Forrester 100 proof bourbon, lemon, house made grenadine, absinthe, $16). This was excellent. It was very balanced, and not boozy at all with a very light sweetness. Her second was the Smoke and Fire (Peloton de la Muerte mezcal, Ancho Reyes liqueur, muddled jalapeno & orange, fresh lime, agave, chili salt, $15). It was pretty well balanced with a medium smokiness. It definitely had a kick of heat on the finish. Our server Lakyn was friendly and provided good service. The menu prices are cash prices. There is an extra 3.5% surcharge if you pay with a credit card. The buffalo cauliflower appetizer was mostly a miss, but everything else was very good so I'm rounding up to five stars. They have a very good sized cocktail and food menu, as well as many beers on tap. They also have happy hour specials. We would definitely return if we were in the area again.

I ordered crisp pork belly tacos which was quite interesting. I never had crispy/crunchy meat in a taco before which was different haha. The flavor was good although the meat was quite chewy and hard. The chips and dips were good and the veggies and sauce on the tacos were great as well! I believe if I have chosen another protein, I would have enjoyed the tacos more. My friend ordered a salad and she really enjoyed her meal. I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area :)

Okay, Madres Brunch... WOW. This place was SO good. I already know I'm going back. We tried a little bit of everything the chilaquiles with birria, Chilango with birria, and the strawberry shortcake pancakes with condensed milk. Everything was seriously delicious. You can tell I like birria, can't you? I also got the eggs with hash browns and soy chorizo, and I was not expecting to love the soy chorizo as much as I did, but OMG. So good. It was seasoned to perfection. Then came the coffee flight and this is such a fun idea if you're going with a friend because you can share and try all four flavors Abuelita, marzipan, horchata and pistachio. I loved them all, but the pistachio was my favorite. Maybe it was the whipped cream? We also had the Oreo milkshakes, which were so good. BUT THEN... the CHURRO FRENCH TOAST came out. GET THE CHURRO FRENCH TOAST. I'm serious. It absolutely knocked my socks off. I cannot say enough good things about it. I would literally go back just for this. I had some leftovers and took it over to a friend's house after and they devoured it ASAP. On top of all the amazing food, the staff was equally amazing. We met Steven, the manager, and Luz, who was serving us, and they were both so friendly and welcoming. You can tell they really care about their customers and the experience they're giving people. Such a fun brunch spot for a girls' brunch, getting together with friends, celebrating something, or honestly just because you want really good food. There's plenty of street parking plus parking lots nearby, which is always a win. Madres, you have a new fan. And seriously... GET THE CHURRO FRENCH TOAST. read more

This is my first time here but my wife has been to this restaurant's other location so I decided to give it a try even though my wife told me that the food is a bit different but I love to try new things so we came. Place is clean, servers are polite and friendly, music is relaxing and it was not busy when we got here so that was nice. I ordered Huevos Ranchero which I always order in breakfast restaurants and my wife ordered the madres chilaquiles. The food was good but definitely different. It seemed like they have created an American Mexican fusion that was not really to my liking but the food quality was good and well prepared. There was ham, baked potato with bacon bits and fried cheese in my Huevos Ranchero which was very strange to me because this was the first time ever I have seen those combinations in a Huevos Ranchero and I have tried over 100 Huevos Ranchero in 100 different restaurants and this was totally different but as I mentioned the food was prepared nicely and visually appealing and somewhat delicious without the chews and baked potato and ham. Salsa was a bit spicy to my taste but overall I enjoyed it since my wife was with me. I give this place a 5 star because the place is clean, food is good and the wine is nice so if you are into American Mexican fusion breakfast definitely give this place a try read more

I found myself in the area this morning after checking out the School of the Arts with my daughter. We were famished and seeing the great reviews for this place, we gave it a try. On the plus side, the servers were great and the Cafe de Olla and pistachio latte were perfect. But it all stops there. After a super long wait for our food (the restaurant wasn't fully packed yet, mind you) we finally got our mediocre food. Oh sure, my Wilma pancakes were totally Instagramable, but were they edible? Just barely. The pancakes were gummy and rubbery and difficult to cut, even with a knife and fork! The fruity pebbles were stale, totally lacking crunch or flavor. I guess they tried to cover that up with the overly sweet condensed milk topping? It was a huge disappointment. And at $20 for the plate, a huge rip off. My daughter had the chilaquiles rojo and said it was pretty solid, not as good as the chilaquiles we usually get in our neck of the woods, but decent. Overall, this place was pretty disappointing, especially considering the price point. I feel no need to go here again. read more

Tucked in the heart of Monrovia downtown , Madres Brunch is a bright and inviting spot offering a great selection of brunch favorites, specialty coffees, and even champagne flights -- perfect for a leisurely weekend meal. The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed, making it a lovely place to start the day. We tried the Steak and Eggs with potatoes, which came well-seasoned, though the beef was a bit on the chewy side for my taste -- still, it's worth a try for those who enjoy a hearty plate. The Madres Chilaquiles were the highlight of the visit. I asked for the salsa on the side, which turned out perfect, letting all the flavors shine. The dish was flavorful and satisfying, though I wished there were a few more chips and a touch more birria -- but overall, it was delicious. With ample parking in the back, friendly service, and plenty of local charm, Madres Brunch is a great addition to Monrovia's dining scene. Whether you're craving a comforting brunch, a great cup of coffee, or a bubbly start to your day, this local gem is well worth a visit read more

I recently visited the new Madres Brunch location and it's such a great addition to the Monrovia brunch scene. The space is bright, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed brunch with friends or family. One of the highlights was their coffee flight, which is a fun way to try a few different drinks if you can't decide on just one. Everything was well balanced and beautifully presented. Their famous strawberry shortcake pancakes called "The Journey" definitely lived up to the hype. The pancakes were fluffy and topped with fresh strawberries, giving it that perfect sweet brunch vibe. We also ordered the steak & eggs breakfast, which was hearty and satisfying, and the Madres chilaquiles, which were packed with flavor and a great savory option if you're not in the mood for something sweet. Overall, the food was delicious, portions were generous, and the service was friendly. If you're looking for a new brunch spot in Monrovia, this one is definitely worth checking out. I can see it becoming a popular weekend brunch destination. read more

I was really looking forward to trying this new brunch spot Madres in Monrovia, the photos online looked incredible! We visited on a Saturday morning around 10 a.m. It was lively but not overcrowded, which made for a pleasant atmosphere. I was especially excited to try the pistachio waffles and pistachio latte. I asked the server to leave off the ice cream and strawberry cream because I really wanted to focus on the pistachio flavor. I also ordered a side of one egg. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to expectations. The egg arrived cold and rubbery, and the waffles were quite dry and dense, with a noticeable amount of green food coloring but very little pistachio flavor. My friend tried the pancakes and felt they were also dry and lacking in taste. That said, I think this place has a lot of potential , the concept is fun and the ambiance is lovely. With a few tweaks to the recipes, especially for the waffles and pancakes, I could see it becoming a real brunch favorite. read more

Madre's Brunch is hands down one of my favorite spots for both food and drinks. From the moment you sit down, you can tell they put real thought into every detail. The menu is full of bold, flavorful dishes that feel both comforting and elevated. Everything I've tried has been fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented definitely not your average brunch. The drinks are just as impressive. Whether you're in the mood for a classic mimosa or one of their signature cocktails, they absolutely deliver. The flavors are balanced, refreshing, and crafted with care you can taste the quality in every sip. What really makes Madre's stand out is the consistency. Every visit has been just as good as the last, with great portions, amazing flavor, and a fun, welcoming vibe. It's the perfect place to relax, enjoy great food, and catch up with friends or family. If you're looking for a brunch spot that truly hits on both food and drinks, Madre's is a must visit. read more

Here's a polished Yelp review: Really enjoyed our brunch here. What stood out most was that the food was brought out in the right order and with real care. It did not feel like they were just serving plates. It was obvious the meal was prepared thoughtfully from beginning to end. The bacon was thick, the sausage was great, and the eggs were done right, which is harder to find at brunch places than it should be. You can tell they actually put effort into the details. My wife also really liked the mimosas. They did not just label the flavors. The drinks actually represented the flavors well. As far as ambience, it's really for the ladies and it was packed with girlfriends coming together. GET THE STEAK AND EGGS. We'll definitely come back. read more

Don't get me wrong.It was tasty and if you have money to spend like that very well worth it, but that's not my budget! It's a once in a while thing ...Most definitely!!! We were brought a sliced sourdough baguette, And a,' Pumpernickel" brown bread with oats sprinkled on top,warm & such a delicious flavor, I'm so glad they start the meals with bread for, 'FREE" I asked for the basket filled again((had to take that home)) My server was so kind. A young man named Kai... He was very sweet and understanding... We explained it was our first time at the Cheesecake Factory, And we asked him to show us the ropes on what he felt was a,'BEST SELLER" the plates well liked by others... He recommended to me the,' Shrimp and Chicken, Jumboyla, and told me if I don't care for the type of noodles that came with it, ((and, I didn't)) ...they have many other types of pasta....I almost went for the bow tie, but I decided to get the spaghetti noodle with mine.... It had a delicious SPICY"flavor (Kai said he could 'Lighten up or Spice it up" however I like it...) I told Kai, I love spicy...so that's what I got!!! And the big chunks of Blackened chicken were tender,juicy and flavorful...i really enjoyed it... I didn't eat it all because I knew, I came for dessert!!! So I didn't want to overeat, and I wanted to enjoy a piece of Cheesecake! I ordered the Sourcream topped Cheesecake with Raspberry sauce on the side....and so glad I ordered it on the side...it was very tart...a little goes a long way... My son had a really good idea.... He dipped the fork into the raspberry sauce container and then took a piece of the cheesecake off with that same fork and it was just enough sour raspberry to go with the cheesecake, ((so glad we didn't pour it over the top.... It was that strong.!!)) So we dipped and bit each bite... We shared that piece and decided to take home the Chocolate Mousse piece of cheese cake thet my boy, Blake wanted....it was an excellent idea...not stuffed full...Just right! We were there at 1:30 pm on a Thursday,nice,not loud not crowded,just perfect!!!! I enjoyed my time there...My birthday is September 29th...and I will be back! 'HIGHLY RECOMMEND!" And if Kai ends up being your server...he's a great guy...DON'T 4GET TO TIP GREAT SERVICE! 2026

On 8/29/26, I called Cheesecake Factory Arcadia around 5:15pm, and placed a $75 takeout order, I…read moregave the guy my name and phone number and repeated the order twice because he said it was really busy and he couldn't hear. He said, come and pick order from the lobby in 25 min. I arrive in the bakery area in the lobby and two ladies said no guy works there taking to go orders, and my name and order is not in the system. No apologies but she offers to take my order. I already had spent a total of 45 minutes to get food from them. No thanks, I am not waiting another 30 minutes I am good. I drove thru Chik Fil A got food in 12 minutes with prompt excellent customer service and no attitude it wasn't what I wanted and no cheesecake had to get ice cream instead and only cost me $30. I saved $45 and probably 4500 calories. I usually don't leave reviews but since I was so angry or hangry and the ladies in the bakery had an attitude after I showed them the number I dialed was their number to prove that a guy took my order. I was too tired aft working all day and it was hot, and I was too hungry to reasonably deal with a manager who was probably going to have the same attitude because it was extremely busy so I decided to spend my money elsewhere and forewarn others if they are going to order a (to go over the phone) always get the name of the person who takes your order so you can report them if they forget to put your name and order into their system, that was my mistake and human error on their part along with bad attitudes from the bakery ladies. I am sure that one dissatisfied customer is not going to effect them and even if I tell 10 people or a review on Yelp is not going to yield an apology for their unprofessional attitude and actions.

Service was excellent from young man waiter, didn't know his name. He served us on Thursday Aug 20…read morefor private seminar. My turkey club sandwich was good, except very light on the turkey. Fries excellently crispy yet tender. My date got the beef dip with real beef, not processed meat. Overall good meal and nice ambiance and excellent service. Minus 1 star for the scanty amount of turkey.

Been coming to this Mimi's cafe since I was in elementary school. The highlight of my grandparents…read moretaking me here on my birthdays was the Oreo chocolate pudding desert with gummy worms on top. I am now in my mid thirties and still very much enjoyed this place..Until they tried to rob me. If the $18 for this basic breakfast was not enough, Mimi's has the nerve to charge $6.99 for two extra eggs on top of this flimsy meal. $25 for this pathetic breakfast. My faith in this place has deflated as quickly as the pancakes you see here. Will not be coming back and I recommend you stay away should you suffer this publicly accepted robbery. Absolutely shameful. Edit: That cut and paste corporate crap is as egregious as your face lady. Want nothing to do with the greed you suck from
