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.

French Toast with whipped cream instead of ice cream.

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.

Elizabeth G.

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.

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.

Darely L.

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!

Sean S.

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

Great brunch spot! Parking can be a bit challenging and limited. Restaurant has a good vibe and staff are friendly. Food was really good, nice portions and decently priced!

Sat down at 1:38, didn't get food until 2:57 . It's only me and daughter she ordered pancakes with a side of bacon I ordered the Alpastor omelette. When food finally came it was only my daughters plain 3 pancakes the staff member sat them down with no utensils and walked away very quickly just very rude honestly . Forgot the bacon my food is nowhere to be found . Very unorganized , bad customer service .

I will admit the place is decorated very cute and is very appealing but other than that there's very little this place offers, the service and the food was mediocre. My husband ordered a breakfast sandwich and the bread was stale and everything was flavorless.. All the food also came out cold which was interesting because we were the only ones there at the time. The waitress helping us took 15-20 minutes to greet us and take our drink order (again we were the only ones there at the time) and she kept walking around on her phone, fixing her hair/makeup and didn't even wash her hands. The place was not clean either when we received our menus they were sticky and gross plus the baby high chairs were nasty.. Im only giving the place 2 stars because the pistachio latte was actually enjoyable. read more

Came for brunch on a Sunday only a 20 minute wait which was great. The vibe was fun with loud house music playing. we came for the chilaquiles and ordered the aqua Fresca flight, sadly the food was very cold but we still ate it. The chips were soggy and the sauce was lacking flavor. The flight was fun and we enjoyed every flavor. While this place wasn't terrible I don't think I'll be back. read more

Shook! The outside was super sketchy, but then again, as a foodie, all the best places are sketchy on the outside lol. I ordered the chilaquiles Verde and they were fire and the plating was upscale. My wife ordered steak and eggs. I tried the steak (cooked medium) and it was perfect! The mimosa flight was standard, but cute because of the accent of the strawberry slices. Because I inquired about the Madre Lemonade, they brought me a complimentary one to try; super awesome and a cool thing to do. The service was perfect; very attentive and friendly. Super cute inside! The music that was playing was a whole vibe; kinda techo'ish/clubish'. Loved it. Very clean inside, including the restrooms. The owner happened to be dining at the time and it was only appropriate to give him an in-person shoutout. This place is a little hidden jewel. We will definitely be back when we are i town. read more

Do not go here for the food save yourself the time and money. The flight of aguas frescas was cute for the photo op but they tasted terrible. The French toast was basically just fried bread and fancy looking toppings. It took us about 4 hours in total to be in and out of there granted that they served messed up 2 out of 3 meals. Then when we did get our food they ended up leaving no utensils and we had to ask about 3 people and 10 minutes later we received them. Just don't go save the money the red chilaquiles with carne was the most edible thing we had but the meat needed seasoning or at least salt. I'm not trying to be petty or rude I'm just saying for the $200 spent the service was terrible and they were rude and the food and drinks were not it. Like I said everything looks cute but served cold and it just taste terrible. Sorry but need to be honest. read more

We came here for a party and I was a little skeptical due to a couple of yelp posts but we were pleasantly surprised. We waited 50 minutes for a party of 20 since there are no reservations. We did not experience any of the negative attitudes posted in other reviews. In fact it was the opposite. Once our tables were cleaned we were quickly sat. Omar, our server, was extremely friendly and attentive. We ordered the Madres chilaquiles and French toast. Both were very good and enough for two people. My wife and I shared and still couldn't finish both. The only down side is they didn't have their margaritas up and going. The mimosas were very good as were the flight of special coffee. They also brought out a special waffle for the birthday girl. The only suggestion I have is to include two eggs with the chilaquiles. All this to say this place is worth your time. read more

This place is the light at the end of a tunnel! I picked it…read morebecause I'm staying next door at the hotel. And because it has Goat in the title, I skipped past the other shops, obviously.

So I ordered the bigger size, she called it a - reserve? I could be wrong but the large let's say. I can't believe how delicious it is, I couldn't even stop myself to take the picture first.

How I will survive living so far from this gem i don't know, but believe that if I do find myself in this area again, maybe with one delicious intent, I will be stopping by The Copper Goat. I wish I got the Barista's name, you were wonderful!!

Molinos Coffee

Parking can be a little tricky, since there is only street parking available. Molino's shares an entryway with the Hideaway, which is a lounge. Inside Molino's, the interior looks rustic, with brick walls and a huge window. There is a couple of tables, with people at work. At the front, is the coffee bar. There have the menu on a chalkboard and a smaller sign with the specials on a small table. There was only one worker and she had greeted me when I came in and to let her know if I needed anything. I saw they have a pastry shelf of muffins. I ordered the 12oz iced horchata latte. They have multiple sizes. Once I received it, I did taste some horchata, not much. It was still good though. When I went to the restroom, I saw that Molino's was connected to the Mission Galleria! I had no idea!

So if you get a large ceremonial matcha with cold foam, expect to pay $14.00 each. Two matchas with…read morecold foam? $28... The coffee shop itself is perfect for downtown Riverside--very fitting with the vibe and style. The lady working was very friendly. However, the menu is extremely busy, and you practically need a key to understand what's what or even how to order. Once we ordered, I noticed the ceremonial matcha is made with a handheld electric frother, and the cold foams are premade in jars and simply added on top (not made fresh). When we received our matchas, let's just say it tasted exactly like it looked: mostly milk with very little matcha flavor, topped with subpar cold foam. This is by far the most expensive, worst-tasting matcha I've ever had. I can usually find a way to justify things or give a place some grace, but this was beyond help.

Back to the Grind

I didn't want to enter any cafe very small/ with petite tables or judgement if I sat down for 1.5 hr to work on my computer. I bought a sausage croissant which was just ok, but still a nice quick breakfast item. I was able to sit in a comfy chair with an outlet source & table to conference in my meeting. I was left unbothered & comfortable the whole time, which I greatly appreciated. There are several lounge chairs, tables & areas to space out to work, read, lounge, etc! I would certainly return another day to try out their coffee menu and those earl grey lavender scones (wish I saw those first!!) The barista was kind & the atmosphere very pleasant!

SERVICE here is VERY BAD!…read more The service at Back to the Grind was genuinely one of the most unprofessional customer service experiences I've had. While I was in the middle of placing my order, an older gentleman wearing glasses abruptly walked away from me mid-conversation to speak with someone he knew. No acknowledgment, no "I'll be right back," nothing. I was left standing there confused and waiting while they casually chatted amongst themselves. At the same time, my husband approached another employee -- a young woman with very long black hair and a pink bandana (see pic)-- simply to ask for the WiFi password. Without even looking at him, she told him he needed to "buy something first." When he explained that I was already ordering, she repeated herself in a dismissive tone and continued making sandwiches without making eye contact once. What stood out most wasn't just the lack of hospitality, but the overall attitude from multiple staff members. The environment felt cold, dismissive, and inconvenienced by customers being there at all. Ironically, the café advertises community classes like yoga and live meditation classes on the window, yet basic customer service and professionalism seem completely absent. The food itself was fine, which is why this review is specifically about the service experience. Even after how poorly we were treated, I still left a tip because I refuse to match that level of disrespect. Management seriously needs to address the customer service culture here. One rude interaction can happen anywhere -- but multiple employees displaying the same behavior reflects a larger issue.

As far as options go, I think there's a decent selection of more unique syrups for coffees. They do change it up throughout the year. The drinks here are definitely more of a premium price point, but I think they're generally good. On this particular trip, I wanted to try their new syrup flavor (it was some form of orange zest, or something similar?), but noticed my latte had no real flavor in it after a few sips. Upon looking at the receipt, the person who took my order just gave me a regular cafe latte and didn't add the syrup I requested. The coffee was fine, but I would have liked trying something new. I have gotten several of their food options before, and I think that some of them are well-priced for the portion and some can be more on the expensive side. I think the avocado toast was pretty robust and was a good value. The steak and eggs are somewhat hit or miss, and I have had it multiple times. The cut of the meat can be chewy at times, and then also more lean and tender other times. Sometimes it comes with large pieces of chewy fat, which isn't quite to my taste. The sandwich options generally are a good value. I do kind of wish they switched up their menu a bit more often, since this current menu is rather basic and they have had more interesting food options before. Overall, a decent choice for a more premium coffee, tea, and food for the Downtown/UCR area of Riverside. Service is okay, and I have had somewhat mixed experiences with that. The employees generally seem pleasant and they're nice, but I have gotten incorrect orders at least a couple of times. During this particular visit, in which the photos are from, I had to ask two different people to get extra napkins. Our actual server was the first to acknowledge, then possibly forgot and didn't come back.

They have a small book exchange, often sell local art, have cute merch, and just opened up a bakery right next door with extra seating. I'm kind of a snobbish third-wave coffee person and although this place isn't trying to be that way, it still is my favorite spot because of the overall vibe, how genuinely kind and down to earth the baristas are, and how comfortable it is. A lot of coffee shops are so brightly lit and trying to be hipster still in 2026, but this place is just kind of homey and the classic cozy coffee shop we all want to go to. So if you're a hardcore coffee connoisseur and are looking for the highest quality coffee, this might not be your spot. If you're looking for something with yummy drinks and baked goods with a chill environment you'll be very comfortable in, this is 100% your spot.

Ate here 09-30-25. Really enjoyed this spot! Would love to come again! Ambience is really great! The art on the walls is beautiful and the music gave me modern loungey club vibes, but was quiet enough to hold a conversation. I was digging it. Food was presented well, delivered in a reasonable time and more importantly was delicious. I had the Gold Bowl and my husband had the Birria. The "vinaigrette" from the Gold Bowl tasted more like soy sauce, imo. It wasn't terrible but I think for such a fresh bowl with salad and salmon, it would be better to have incorporated a type of berry sauce to keep the freshness rather than make it so salty. Luckily, it's on the side so you can add it by choice. Also decided to splurge and have the Horchata and Banana shake. Weird combo for us to be eating with our food, but the heart wants what the heart wants, haha! Both were very delicious. Alexis was our server. He was very attentive and super friendly. Definitely made the place a very welcoming environment. If I was to give a "con" about this experience, I would advise the worker who was sitting at the bar area on his phone and greeted us (if it was his responsibility or if he was on break, I don't know?) to not let the customer "sit wherever you like on this side" if not all the tables are clean and floor isn't swept underneath it. I couldn't see until I sat down at the table, but it definitely needed a good wipe down (which was done promptly once we sat without asking) and there were some broken tortilla chips under the table. I didn't mention that to the greeter, because it wasn't THAT huge of a deal for me. Oh! And I'm not a fan of plastic cups for water. I really do prefer glass for a restaurant. Plastic really cheapens the experience and does not keep the beverage cold. All in all, wonderful experience. I would have given 4.5 stars, but since that's not an option, you get a 5! You deserve the 5 more than the 4! Thank you for a great time! =) read more

**Madre Brunch - Riverside, CA** My wife and I stopped by Madre Brunch for a lunch date, excited to try their take on classic Chilaquiles. She opted for the Mole Chilaquiles, while I went with the Madre Chilaquiles, both accompanied by a side of seasoned potato wedges. To round out the meal, we shared their signature coffee flight--an intriguing selection of four different Mexican-style coffees. The coffee flight was a pleasant surprise, offering a nice variety of flavors that showcased traditional Mexican influences. Each cup had its own distinct profile, making for an enjoyable tasting experience. Unfortunately, the food itself was a bit of a letdown. While the flavors were solid, the overall execution missed the mark due to one recurring issue--dryness. The potato wedges, though well-seasoned, were noticeably dry. The Chilaquiles followed suit; my wife's dish came with grilled chicken on the side, which suffered the same fate. Mine featured Birria and a fried egg, with the Birria itself carrying great flavor, as did the red sauce, but the dryness of the dish detracted from the experience. Additionally, our plates arrived only warm rather than hot, which diminished the vibrancy of the flavors. On a positive note, service was outstanding. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and well-versed in the menu, ensuring a great dining experience from that perspective. The ambience also deserves mention--the restaurant has a clean, inviting atmosphere that makes for a comfortable visit. Overall, Madre Brunch has potential, but there are execution issues that need fine-tuning. With a little more attention to ensuring dishes are properly heated and moisture-balanced, this spot could be a true standout. read more

Madres Brunch is an absolute Riverside gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the cutest, most Instagram-worthy atmosphere. The decor is stylish and modern, with charming touches that make it feel cozy yet trendy--perfect for a brunch date or a fun outing with friends. I loved the decorations, art murals and the music! Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the mimosa flights kickers! These aren't just your basic mimosas; they come with fun, flavorful twists that take the experience to the next level. Each glass is perfectly crafted, giving you a chance to try different refreshing combinations that pair beautifully with the food. Speaking of food, the chilaquiles are an absolute dream! The tortilla chips are perfectly crispy, drenched in just the right amount of sauce, and topped with fresh ingredients that make every bite packed with flavor. Whether you go for red or green sauce (or both!), you won't be disappointed. And a huge shoutout to our amazing waitress, Natalie! She was so friendly, attentive, and made sure our experience was top-notch from start to finish. She had great recommendations, checked in just the right amount, and added to the welcoming vibe of the restaurant.

I have been to Madres Brunch twice and have loved everything I've gotten each time. The first time we came was on a Sunday around noon and we did have to wait a little over an hour to get sat but once we placed our order the food arrived super quickly. I was hesitant to try the red chilaquiles since I feel like restaurants just can't get the sauce right here in the states but Madres delivered! They tasted like my grandma's red chilaquiles (without the spiciness). The churro French toast was one of the best things I've ever had and their iced coffee flight was amazing. I had the horchata, abuelita, pistachio, and mazapan flight. I don't hate mazapan but I don't love it either but the mazapan iced coffee was one of the best things I've ever tasted. The pistachio one was a bit of a let down, I didn't think it was good but since it was part of the flight it didn't feel like a waste. The horchata and abuelita coffees weren't bad but next to the mazapan one they fell short. Overall, I would definitely keep coming back. Even when the wait times are long the service is quick and the food is great. read more

Today was our first visit to Madres Brunch. We were seated very quickly and our server Mary made us feel at home. She recommended a few things for us and we loved each and every thing she picked out for us. I had the Mazapan Latte and the chilaquiles verdes. The portions were huge and we still managed to clear our plates! My husband ordered the chilaquiles de mole and he said they were amazing. Our daughter had the Journey Pancakes and you must know this plate is an experience of its own! So so fun! We also had our 8 month old baby with us and even the baby loved this place!

Service: 5/5 Our server, Dee, was very quick and checked often, amazing service overall Food: 4/5 Food presentation was top notch, as well as the flavor of the dishes. Traditional dishes were made to match a modern taste, but still have that traditional touch to them. Furthermore, the combination of Mexican flavor alongside other cuisines made it taste so much better! The only reason it lost 1 rating is due to the side of salsa lacking some flavor, it carried heat, but missed the mark when adding to food. Furthermore the strawberry agua Fresca tasted a little too artificial, almost too sweet, so it also missed a bit there, but the food itself slapped, portions were hefty and delicious. Atmosphere: 5/5 Very cute, colorful, pink, vibrant, this place screams out "BRUNCH VIBES" the moment you see the exterior and when you walk in. Overall: 5/5 I just rounded up to 5, but this is a very welcomed addition to the Riverside area and if you want to have a nice fast, friendly meal definitely stop by while you're in the area. read more

Madres Brunch is a spot I would happily recommend to family and friends. I've visited twice, and both times the food,and especially the chilaquiles,were absolutely exquisite. The Chilaquiles Rojos and the Birria Chilaquiles are standouts and a must-try for anyone who loves chilaquites. Prices are fair considering the combination of quality food, friendly service, and the Intagramable atmosphere. The coffee is decent, but the Horchata Latte is what truly shines. On my most recent visit, I noticed a discrepancy on my check regarding an item that had been overcharged. When I brought it up, both the waitress and the manager handled it with professionalism and grace. They explained that the menu needed updating to reflect the new price, thanked me for pointing it out, and honored the old price without hesitation. I wouldn't have minded paying the updated price, especially given how good the food was, but their respectful and courteous approach really stood out. read more

From the moment we walked in, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. Jessica was incredibly attentive without being intrusive. She knew the menu inside and out and offered fantastic recommendations that suited our tastes perfectly. Her enthusiasm for the dishes really added to our experience, and we ended up trying things we wouldn't have normally ordered--everything was delicious! Not only did she ensure our drinks were always topped off, but she also checked in on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. Her positive energy was infectious, and it truly elevated our brunch. If you're planning a visit to Madres Brunch, be sure to request Jessica as your server. You won't be disappointed! Thank you, Jessica, for making our brunch so memorable. Can't wait to come back! read more

Where do I start... I came in here with my husband for a brunch date to have the MOST HORRIBLE experience. the host who i dont know her name ignored us standing there for a good 2 minutes and when i said excuse me she just put her hand in my face, then she sat us at a dirty table. My server, ericka was very rude and even when i tried to fight it with kindness she responded with passive aggressiveness and eye rolls. which whatever we decided to try to ignore it. Our food was okay chilaquiles were stale. when i went to go leave feedback to the manager i think his name was ruby or rueben he was very dismissive and unapologetic. ive been to madres once before at the rancho location and had a better experience by MILES. will be going back there this place is just as ghetto as area is. PS- shoutout to the busser who was very kind and attentive we left him double the tip we left our server read more

If I could give you zero stars I would, we got there about 11:45 and were told the wait time was 30 minutes we waited in the car came out and were told we still needed to wait another 20 minutes. We waited outside for half an hour and checked in and were told we were next. Then a group the came in 40 minutes after us was seated before us. There was a large group waiting before us and we're getting frustrated the hostess kept telling everyone 20 minutes was the wait . Then when someone complained about waiting two hours the hostess decided to tell the customer that she did like her attitude when she was expressing the frustration of the 2 hour wait. The hostess was a tool and should fine another job she was complaining because she had to help buss tables because they were short staffed. Never again am I coming to this circus and I will make sure know of my friends ever experience it either read more

First time here and I'm already impressed! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch. The hostess, Anna was incredibly welcoming and well-informed -- she answered all our questions with ease and gave some great recommendations. Our waitress, Cindy, was especially wonderful -- so kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout our meal. She made us feel right at home and really added to the overall experience. The vibe of the restaurant is super cool -- trendy but relaxed, with just the right atmosphere to escape the heat outside. Whether you're just stopping in for a mimosa or looking to chill for a while, it's definitely a refreshing spot. So far, it's been a great experience and I'm excited to come back again. Highly recommend if you're looking for great service and a cool place to unwind.! read more

Don't let social media fool you. This place is overhyped and overpriced dont come here on an empty stomach because you'll leave disappointed. This place is known for their chilaquiles which were good i just dont know why they would sell the chilaquiles with no eggs. You have to pay an addition 2$ per egg if you want eggs in your chilaquiles. There are no refills on the drinks. And the drinks range from 6$+ & a lemonade is 7$ (no refills). This place overall has really poor service i waited over 45 min just for the check , my plates were picked up and i was waiting on the table for just the check. Pancakes have a rubbery texture as well. Servers will do anything but come check on you. I had to waive and get up and chase my waiter multiple times and he still didn't give me the time of day. read more

A Delicious Surprise with Stellar Service! Just had a fantastic brunch experience that deserves a shoutout! The mimosas were perfectly crisp and refreshing -- a great way to kick off the meal. I ordered a divorciados that was bursting with flavor, and the pumpkin pancakes were a cozy, seasonal treat that hit all the right notes. What really made the visit special was the service. Our server Omar was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. The ambience added a unique charm -- the walls are adorned with vibrant paintings of butterflies and roses that give the space a playful, artistic vibe. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, and a memorable atmosphere! read more

Madres offers a charming atmosphere that's perfect for those who appreciate aesthetics, but our recent brunch experience had its ups and downs. I tried the chilaquiles divorciados, which were more like tostadas divorciados, and found them lacking in flavor. My niece enjoyed her Popeye omelet, although the mixed green salad's vinaigrette was a bit too reminiscent of apple cider vinegar for her taste. My sister opted for the 2 egg breakfast; however, she found the bacon not as crispy as she'd prefer, and the hash browns were more like mashed potatoes. Additionally, we weren't offered refills during our visit. While Madres has a lovely setting, if you're looking for a more satisfying culinary experience, I'd recommend trying Yolis instead. read more

My fiance and I just moved into a new home close by and wanted to find a good brunch spot. I found Madres on google maps and decided to give it a try. We have their Horchata Latte iced and it was DELICIOUS. Not too sweet but not too bitter either! Then I ordered the chilaquiles rojos. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was even better. Maybe we came on a good day but the food wasn't dry at all and was full of rich flavor. The chilaquiles weren't too spicy so that was a big plus for me. The service was great. Super friendly staff and we were always checked. We also got our food quickly. The restaurant overall wasn't too loud, we came at around 1pm on a Friday. This will definitely be one of returning spots. read more

I wanted to take a moment to share my recent experience at Madres Brunch in Riverside. I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional customer service provided by Jessica. She went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was enjoyable and memorable. In addition to the outstanding service, the food at Madres Brunch was truly exceptional. I had the pleasure of trying the strawberry pancakes and steak eggs, both of which were delicious and prepared to perfection. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience. I am looking forward to returning to Madres Brunch to sample more of their delectable dishes. Thank you for providing such a wonderful dining. read more
