    Love this place! They have the best food. I came here months ago with my bestie. I remember telling my husband about the amazing food, fantastic service, and upbeat atmosphere. He even loved my leftovers and insisted we come back together. Today was finally the day! He was hesitant to make the drive at first since we're about 15-20 minutes away. But he had zero regrets after taking a bite of the chilaquiles verdes with chicken. We were also pleasantly surprised at how delicious the passion fruit iced tea was. We try to avoid sugary drinks so it was a refreshing treat. I re-order the birria Benedict. Honestly, just as delicious as I remember it. I ordered a strawberry horchata latte to go. The tvs were playing DJ sets and my husband and I kept giggling that one of the DJs looked like Robert Downey Jr. It was honestly just what we needed for a lazy Saturday. We were helped out by Jacob who was attentive, funny, and honestly one of the best multitaskers I've seen. They're going to start accepting online orders in the next week or so. You'd be missing out by not coming in person but you'd be crazy to not try their delicious food.

    Arrived at Madres for breakfast, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. I had the birria omelette, and it was packed with flavor--definitely a must-try! I almost passed on ordering it because of a negative review, but I'm so glad I didn't. It exceeded my expectations. The service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience was excellent. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend Madres to anyone looking for an amazing breakfast! Coffee was delicious as well.

    Check the full review @itsamandachamberlain Madre in Riverside was a great brunch experience from start to finish. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere that's perfect for a weekend brunch with friends or family. Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the drinks were just as impressive. The service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Whether you're looking for a relaxing brunch, celebrating a special occasion, or simply trying a new restaurant, Madre is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    I met up with a friend here for brunch on a Sunday. The wait was about 20 to 30 minutes, which isn't bad for a proclaimed brunch location. It felt like a long time though after we were seated to get service. We put in our drink orders, but they took a really long time to come out. They came out almost at the same time as our food, which is rough because you're trying to space out your alcohol intake over the course of the visit. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my mimosa flight. It was pretty standard I got the version with pineapple, orange juice and cranberry juice for $20. Not bad pricing. I got the churro French toast and bacon which was good. The bacon was a little small and could've been crispy. My friend's daughter got the chilequiles which were mid. My friend got the Nutella French toast. She liked it. If you live in this neighborhood or are 15-20minutes away I think this is a nice place to swing by, but for me the drive was a bit much when there are closer places with similar offerings.

    If you have a sweet tooth for breakfast, then Madres Brunch is for you! This vibrant yet cozy restaurant offers large portions of pancakes, French toast, and waffles that are best for sharing with your table. Since you cant have sweet without the savory, we also tried their steak and eggs which I really enjoyed most. They also offer a great selection of beverages from mimosas to strawberry flavored horchata. Both the interior and exterior of the restaurant is filled with beautiful paintings on their walls and the staff here are very friendly and accommodating. Its a fun spot for brunch, especially for young adults.

    Finally made it to this place! we tried coming last year, but there was a three hour wait so yes I recommend you come early because they get very busy and it gets full; we ordered the coffee flight, the red Chilaquiles with Birria and the omelette with Chilaquiles. Everything was so good. We had no room for dessert, but we kept looking around and all the plates looked amazing. We will come back and try something sweet as well our waiter was really nice. It turns out they were a little short staffed because a couple people called off on Mother's Day so imagine that it's definitely cute. Can't wait to try the other locations.

    We had to wait about 15 minutes on a Sunday morning. Not too bad. The exterior is just a basic brick building but inside they have it all decked out in flowers, pink lights, and butterflies. It's very cute. They have flights for everything! The matcha flight was so good. Each one had a very strong fruity flavor. It was hard to pick a favorite. The side of potatoes were great. The French Toast was giant but I think that made them a bit too dry for my liking. I would have preferred a thinner slice of bread to soak up more of the egg mixture. They have an extensive menu though so I would go back to try more.

    I loved the aesthetics of this brunch place! Not just the cute wall decor, but also the food. It definitely has picture-worthy dishes to choose from :) Flavor-wise, everything tasted pretty standard, not bad but also not exceptional. However, I would come back here for sure just to have a fun brunch with friends or to try other dishes, as they had lots of options! Lastly, the service was great with kind servers and quick waiting times for the food.

    The food here is actually really good, no complaints there. Whoever is back in that kitchen is doing their thing. But the overall experience feels like a test of patience and financial endurance. First off, the service moves at the speed of a DMV line the day after a holiday weekend. We had enough time between ordering and getting our food to reflect on life choices, reconnect spiritually, and consider applying for jobs there so we could check on our own order ourselves. Now let's talk about the drinks. Not cocktails, not fancy handcrafted lavender infused mocktails served by a guy named Sebastian. I'm talking regular soft drinks. Sodas. The kind you buy in a 12 pack at the grocery store. They bring them out in the actual can, no glass, no ice, no refill, no illusion of generosity whatsoever. And if you dare to ask for a second one? Boom, another $4 charge. Charging $4 per soda can while also making me pour it myself feels less like dining and more like I accidentally entered a luxury survival experience. At that point just hand me the Costco case and let me finance it. Again, the food was good. But between the slow service and the hostage negotiation approach to canned soda distribution, it's hard not to leave slightly irritated and oddly dehydrated.

    Churro French toast
    Kristen S.

    First time visiting Madres. Two locations, this was the Riverside one, other is in Rancho Cucamonga. Best part of our order was the coffee. The chilaquiles had some heat, but lacked layers of complimentary flavors. The churro French toast was more like a cronut, harder than French toast is supposed to be, lots of crunch which I wasn't expecting. Maybe with a side of syrup or a carmel drizzle with whipped cream drizzle would have elevated it. It's beautiful inside and fun ambience wise, the staff were super friendly and attentive, I just wish the food delivered as much as the pictures suggest they did. I would come again, I would order the coffee and try different items.

    Madres Brunch' The food was delicious, the chilaquiles were especially yummy, and the pancakes had just the right amount of sweetness. Our waiter, Omar, was friendly, helpful, and attentive, making the experience even better. Great food and great service. We'll definitely be back!

    Club lounge kind of vibe if you're into that. Not the mood for 8 am for me. So unexpectedly walked into that not knowing lol For the food I ordered it took about 30 minutes to get and it was a fairly large plate for 22 dollars (it should be for that price) however the food was cold and only slightly warm in the inside of the middle. I read the other reviews mentioning this. So it's definitely a reoccurring thing here. I guess it's cool to come and have mimosas and hang out and listen to music but wouldn't recommend ordering food . For vibes only

    I had an amazing experience at Madre's brunch. Fatima was an amazing waiter and the food was absolutely delicious. The decor is very pretty as well and the atmosphere is just right as well.

    Do they have a liquor license yet?

    Not yet!!!! Hopefully soon... but there Coffee is delicious!!!

    Do y'all have your liquor license yet?

    They don't. They used to serve alcohol but not sure why the recently told us they don't have a license. Maybe they served without the cities knowledge.

    Can we make reservations?

    No you have to wait outside in the heat or cold depending on the weather. And have to stay near the door if not you'll be skipped.

The meal started off strong with their chips and salsa--super fresh and flavorful. For my entrée, I had the chicken fajitas. While they were cooked properly, I wish they had a bit more seasoning to really bring out the flavor. My wife had the enchiladas divorciadas, which were beautifully presented, but unfortunately, the filling was a bit cool. She probably should have sent it back, but since we were in a hurry, we didn't bother. On the positive side, my daughter had the carne asada burrito, and she said it was excellent. Service started off great with our younger male waiter being very attentive at first, but it slowed down significantly as our meal went on. By the end of our visit, I actually had to go up to the register to ask to pay. It was lunch time, and it wasn't that busy, so this felt a bit out of the ordinary. Despite the hiccups, I'm willing to give Morena's Mexican Cuisine another try, as it may have just been an off day. The chips and salsa, along with my daughter's burrito, showed that they definitely have what it takes to impress. I'll reserve final judgment after my next visit!

I found out about it through my cousin, who's a UCR alum, and I'm really glad I finally got to try it. The staff were super nice and attentive, constantly coming by our table to check if we needed more water, tortillas, or anything else we might want. Even with how busy it was, they still made sure everyone was taken care of, which I really appreciated. The restaurant was packed, and it actually surprised me because I don't usually see that many people at restaurants in Riverside. The energy inside felt lively but still comfortable. One of my favorite parts was the fresh tortillas. They come out hot and fresh from the oven, and you can literally watch them being made right in front of you, which made it even better. And the best part is they're free. We ordered the carne fajitas and chile relleno. The fajitas were incredible, the meat was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, with that perfect smoky sear that comes from being cooked fresh on a hot skillet. Everything came out sizzling and stayed flavorful with every bite. The chile relleno was also really good, with a nice balance of savory and slightly creamy filling that paired well with the sauce. It was actually my first time trying fajitas, and I can confidently say I'll be ordering them again the next time I come back. I definitely plan on returning while I'm still at UCR to make up for all the years I didn't know this place existed.

First time coming to the restaurant for all of us. The ambience was cool and I liked the fact that they made the tortillas fresh. The food was cool I guess. My grandmother got the chicken fajitas but there were no bell peppers with it, just onions. The tamale was mid. My Dad and myself ordered a basic bean and cheese burrito. I did not like the fact that it wasn't mentioned that the beans are made with bacon until AFTER we received our food! My dad doesn't eat meat and the rice is made with chicken as well. The server did bring him something else but this needs to be stated on the menu or upon ordering! We were sat right next to where they made the tortillas and can see them being made since they had glass windows around it. However, there was one gentleman that was making tortillas who was on his cell phone texting or whatever CONSTANTLY at the same time while doing this. He had a glove on one hand and no glove on the other, and was touching the tortilla dough.....We all know how dirty a cell phone is! And what made it worse is at one point he itched the inside of his nose with his finger, and didn't even wash his hands or have gloves on after that. Definitely made my stomach turn and what caused me to go and write this review. I suggest a camera be placed at the tortilla station, add the notes about bacon in the beans and chicken in the rice, and add bell peppers to the fajitas. Also, maybe give the option of meatless beans and rice for the non-meat eaters
