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.

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.

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.

I only managed to get a picture of the mimosa and margarita flights but let me tell you the food was out of this world. It was crazy who would've thought that this tiny little pink house of a restaurant would have the most amazing French toast and Chilaquiles. Do yourself a favor and find a location near you. It is amazing. You will not be sorry and by the way they have Wycliff champagne you can't go wrong.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Came here for brunch with my friend. I ordered the eggs with bacon, beans & added a pancake. Honestly the beans were sooo good, the star of the plate. The pancake was a good add on. We did get seated at a rather dark table lol I wish we were able to sit where there was more lighting. I ordered an iced chai with oat milk & vanilla. It was pretty good. Good for a first time experience :)

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

I lowkey hate that I came here on a day that there was a local marathon nearby and a surplus of people that stopped by after they finished... I feel like it makes it hard to gauge how the service would've been on a regular day when they weren't so busy, because it clearly looked like they were struggling a little bit as it almost took 10 minutes for them to just get our drink order... But nonetheless, the parking lot here is absolutely terrible... circled around for a bit but ultimately ended up parking across the street Ordered some green chilaquiles since that seems to be the go-to here... at first, the plate seems like there isn't much food in there, but it's actually pretty packed. In terms of flavor and spice though, I would just say it's average... there was pretty minimal meat on it for the price in my opinion, but hey, maybe I was paying for ambiance, not food portions... the churro French toast was pretty yummy Getting our check was another frustrating almost 20 minutes of waiting... I'm sure this place is decent for what it is, however, I don't think the food alone was enough for me to want to come back again and hope that the service is better

The vegan soyrizo and vegan eggs were delicious, kids loved them

The food was good, I had the red chilaquiles my husband had the green chilaquiles. The portions are good, we could've shared one order. My daughter had the Journey pancakes and she really enjoyed them, it's a big portion so if you have two kids, they can split it. They weren't serving alcohol yet, so I opted for a Dulce de leche latte, very delicious. We only waited 30min, our waiter was nice and attentive even though it was busy. I will be coming back to try more from their menu. read more

First time here tried the coffee flight, favorite was the pistachio! Food was a little slow to come out but tasty. Serving size is shareable! Seating area is small but cozy. We tried the Los cubanos (fried pork chop, baked potato with eggs). Mole chilaquiles were more on sweet side than spicy but tasty. Shout out to Mari she was attentive and pleasant.

Walked in with coffee and were told no outside drinks (understandable), so we left it in the car. After being seated, it took about 10 minutes for someone to take our order and we weren't offered drinks. Food took 25-30 minutes to arrive, and our waiter never checked on us or offered refills. We ordered the huevos rancheros and chilaquiles verdes, both around $20. Both lacked flavor, and the chilaquiles were extremely dry. After tracking down our waiter, we let her know and were offered only a $2 discount on a dish we didn't even eat. Disappointing food and inattentive service for the price. read more

The over all vibe of the restaurant was good! The food portions were very questionable! I ordered the French Toast, eggs and hash browns. The French toast looked like two big bricks! The crust was so thick it was inedible. The middle of the toast was basically a cinnamon roll. The eggs where so small it fit in a tiny bowl like container.... Now the hash browns were just this goop slapped on a plate it looked anything other than edible! This is some horrible food I wouldn't give this shit to my dog. Update : it's now 2 hours after I had Eaten there and I'm having stomach problems.... No need to say more you get it. read more

Super cute little spot, if on a weekend definitely come by 10 to ensure good service. They get real busy real quick. We got chilaquiles with birria and the birria omelet. Both were really good, I would say they can cut the amount of tortillas in half on the chilaquiles and make them fresh so they aren't mushy. Overall good, just need a few tweaks. read more

The server was very kind, but overall this restaurant was disappointing and overpriced -- definitely not what I was expecting. If your goal is to drink and enjoy a party vibe, this place might be for you. I, however, came hoping for a good breakfast. The coffee was absolutely rancid. They put it in a containter and pump the coffee out of there. Wonder when those containters were cleaned last.The chilaquiles (we tried both red and green) were maybe a 6/10 at best. The green chilaquiles were put together nicely and passed the taste test, but this place really needs to do better. On top of that, they charge extra for basics like adding an egg or protein to the chilaquiles, even though it didn't come with any. We were asked how we wanted our eggs cooked but weren't told there would be an extra charge. The horchata, couldn't tell you if it was good because we never got it. The menu felt very limited -- oddly, most of the "brunch" items came topped with ice cream. For my grandmother, the best I could order was a plain waffle with a side of potatoes, since there really weren't any solid breakfast options. In the end, the friendly service couldn't make up for the poor food quality, limited choices, and read more

Had high hopes for this place. The design was inviting but the service was terrible. We got our drinks and the waiter said he'd be back to take our order. So much time had passed that I asked my friend we ordered our food right? We hadn't placed our order and we were searching for where the server was. After finally getting our order, the food came. Food was pretty good but I was really upset with the service which brought down the quality of everything for me. It wasn't even a full house which upset me even more. read more

They just opened - well recently. They didn't have a liquor license so no drinks to make it a bit more tolerable. The food is okay, maybe under seasoned I had Birria omelet. Meat was okay. Eggs no salt. Nothing special. My GF had some strange strawberry pancake. The texture was rubber and strange. The fake strawberry was gross. I feel like these places that focus on vibe with "shows" for serving food should focus on the food. After the show nobody comes for mediocre food. read more

err for 19 dollar, you would expect the chocolate pancakes to taste like chocolate... it didn't. it took a minute for the food to arrive too. it's really just 3 dark looking pancakes smothered in chocolate sauce, and a singular small scoop of chocolate ice cream on top as the only condiments i had. no where in sight was a bottle of syrup nor was i offered some. other than that it was too overcrowded. i was seated right away at the bar since it was just me. i had to waive to get anyone's attention though. like no greeting no nothing from anyone, and i had to ask if i could put an order with the bartender, after he spent 10 minutes just making straight drinks. parking was difficult to find in the dingy parking lot, i was the first to decide to just park on the other side of the gate, when i came out 3 other cars decided to also park there and put me in a tight spot. i missed it when it was placita. read more

The Mazapán Latte is a perfect melody for anyone who is addicted to mazapán like me. We need to take about Madres Chilaquiles. Who would ever thought of adding birria but pork rinds to this dish. It is so flavorful and delicious. We also had The Frenchy (French toast). These dishes are a delight that you begin to eat and savor with your eyes followed by your taste buds. I can't say enough other than I will be back to try more of their specialties and flavorful lattes. There's no way that the food does service. They are in par one in one. Dee was very kind, friendly and helpful in giving us suggestions on the menu. Thank you Dee for your spectacular service; see you soon. I will be bringing my friends soon. read more

Muy bueno todo. The ambiance great vibe overall. This was such a great unexpected find and we'll definitely be back next time we're passing through. Highly recommend!

Location is near Mission Inn on Main Street. Price is on the higher end so plan to pay an average of $30/person. The only thing that was a bummer for us was the loud music for lunch hour experience. The music was loud and made me think it would be best for a club atmosphere? Maybe it was just me but I felt anxiety eating because the music was so upbeat and loud. Music is a big part of the eating experience. I know some people may be fine with it. For example, we had breakfast at Tio's Taco and the music was spot on for the dining experience.

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.

If I could rate separately for service I would give it a 5…read more This place is not lacking any help in the waiter and waitress department. We have not been here since the 90's and I have to say, it was much better back then. All in all, there is just no flavor. The salsa tasted like watery tomatoes, our waitress gave us a little side of habanero salsa to incorporate with it but that heat is the extreme for me. We ordered the Mesquite chicken and steak fajitas which were less than average. Not sure if it was just a bad day, but the taste of the protein did not match up to the wonderful smell of BBQ outside the restaurant. The tortillas were just ok, first batch was not even warm. My Michelada was good though. Bummer visit after being away for so long. Looks like the interior could stand a makeover.

And we also got their wet supreme burrito mojado, with the mole sauce all over it Also tried their agua fresca, loved the cucumber and lime flavor! Great size for two to share, and we had a blast just eating and enjoying the sights laid out to see. Their pickled onions got a spicy kick to it! I loved the added crunch instead of just having the typical hot salsa. Service was great, with the waiters and waitresses checking in on us every now and then, and I liked that we pay first then eat, so we just leave after we're done! Excellent experience as the weather was perfect too, the outdoor seating has some mosquitoes but be sure to go when it's not molting hot outside!

There is a salsa bar that can help add to your meal like spicy pickled carrots, cucumbers, salsa and pickled onions. My favorite part of this place is the art decor. They're all made from materials that were bound to go in the trash, most notably cans that they open for cooking. So you'll see lids and the other material from cans beautifully molded into these structures. It may seem random but I found lots of humor and play thrown into the craftsmanship of it all. Some pieces are like playing I Spy. It was funner to see than a lot of museums I've gone to actually. It's truly just packed with art. I even got to meet one of the artists as he was working on something. He was really friendly. There's a few of them who work on them together and I learned they've been doing this since the 90's! How cool. It's so nice to see all the things they've come up with to create. Go check it out! Definitely a date worthy spot too. My bf and I had a lot of fun walking around seeing what they created.

Their coffee, tea, and baked goods are fantastic, but the main reason I love this place is because it's very cozy and the perfect place to read, study, catch up with a friend, or go on a date. They have a special, themed menu that changes every month. There is almost always seating available. 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.

Honestly, the line is mainly due to the customers taking their sweet time while ordering. You might have a hard time finding a table to sit at inside, but they also have outside seating. Price-wise you'll probably spend around $15-$20 per person. I highly recommend their grilled chicken sandwhich. It comes with grilled chicken, lettuce and tomato, all on a toasted sourdough bread covered with pesto and cheese. For the side I typically get the Italian pasta salad, which is always delicious. One thing about this sandwhich is that the chicken will never cover the entire bread and it will never be distributed evenly. So you will always have one half that has less chicken and ends up being part veggie pesto sandwhich, which is still worth it. The other favorite is a turkey club sandwhich on a croissant. It's basic, but also very tasty. They also carry a variety of pastries and serve Klatch coffee (brewed coffee) if you need a sweet treat afterward.

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.

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. If you're looking for a brunch spot that's cute, trendy, and delicious, Madres Brunch is the place to be! I'll definitely be coming back! read more

5/5 I had such a wonderful experience at Madres Brunch in Riverside! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting -- stylish décor, a lively yet relaxed vibe, and the perfect setting for a weekend brunch. Our server Alexis was absolutely the sweetest -- attentive without being overbearing, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. She checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed, which really elevated the whole dining experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. The menu has a great mix of comforting brunch classics and unique, creative dishes. And let me just say... the mimosa was delicious -- perfectly balanced, bubbly, and refreshing. It paired so well with the meal and really made the morning feel special. Service was prompt, our drinks were never empty for long, and everything came out at just the right pace. It's clear the staff here cares about creating a great guest experience, and it really shows in the little details. If you're in Riverside and looking for a brunch spot that combines delicious drinks, great food, and genuinely kind service, Madres Brunch is the place to go. I'll definitely be coming back with my bestie! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Madras Brunch, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The restaurant itself is welcoming, with a vibrant atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The menu offers a delightful array of choices, showcasing the rich flavors of Madras cuisine with a modern twist. What truly elevated our brunch was the outstanding service from our waitress, Jess. She was attentive, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations that we thoroughly enjoyed. Jess ensured that our drinks were always topped up and that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The food was simply fantastic, with each dish beautifully presented and bursting with authentic flavors. every bite was a treat. The chef's creativity and attention to detail were evident in every dish we tried. Overall, Madras Brunch exceeded all our expectations, thanks to the delicious food and exceptional service. Jess, in particular, made our visit memorable with her warm hospitality and professionalism. I can't recommend this place enough and will definitely be returning soon! read more

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

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

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Madres Brunch, and I have to say, Jessica made our experience truly exceptional! 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 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

I recently visited Madres Brunch and tried the Wilma Pancakes--a vibrant and playful dish topped with condensed milk and Fruity Pebbles. The pancakes were fluffy, perfectly cooked, and the combination of sweet and crunchy toppings made each bite a delight. The presentation was as fun as the flavors, making it a memorable treat! What really elevated my experience was the excellent service from Jessica. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Her warm attitude added a special touch to an already great visit. If you're looking for creative brunch options and outstanding service, Madres Brunch is a must-try! Don't miss the Wilma Pancakes! read more

This place caught my eye passing by with its beautiful art work and color! (Pink) I checked it out with my friends and we ate on a Sunday. First of all, parking is hard to find. They have a small parking lot, it took 25 minutes to find parking. I ate the chilaquiles w/ birria. It tasted so dry, it was soggy and our server kept coming to our table every 2 minutes, I felt rushed! She kept asking us if we were done and we barely even touched it. It's a cute spot, the drinks weren't even that great (coffee flight) my daughter got French toast and it looked super pretty but tasted undercooked (you can taste the egg). Cute spot, food is horrible. Oh & it was sooooo expensive ! read more
