The Madres chilaques were fire x5 . Hands down the best chilaques I've had, second to my Madres. Savory, flavorful and spicy. I ate them so quick I forgot to take the picture read more

Amazing food! Definitely will be coming back for delicious chilaquiles . Service was amazing fast and yummy read more

OVERALL: I went back again the same week (this is a delayed post) because the food is that good! I look forward to going through the rest of their menu when I visit again! FOOD: I couldn't post all the drinks - but I would highly recommend any of the lattes/coffee drinks. This time around we had the french toast (amazing) and it came with ice cream, green chilaquiles, and divorciados. SERVICE: The service again was excellent. The bilingual staff were so friendly and helpful with recommendations. VENUE: The ambiance is always relaxed and lively. It's a great place! read more

This place was pretty packed and seems popular and we got seated very fast which was definitely a plus. But being that it was pretty busy we did wait a while to receive our coffees and the food came sometime later. I enjoyed the coffee more than the food. I tried the abuelita latte which was definitely my favorite part. It was so good I tried another coffee as well. The horchata latte. Both were great but I enjoyed the abuelita latte a tad bit more. The food was just okay. They do serve you very large portions but I was not too impressed. They got my sister's drink order and food order wrong. Shes lactose intolerant so we had no choice but to send it back unfortunately. And the waiter seemed a little bothered. Also I wish I took a picture of my sister's chilaquiles , they were pretty dry. I wouldn't recommend that plate. If I went back it would be for the delicious coffee. Props to the coffee bar ! read more

So we've been here many times and never had too much of an issue . The food is good our fave being the madres chilaquiles . The service tho... not the greatest . One occasion the waitress didn't even smile and looked like she was over it. The latest experience we didn't even have a set waitress/ waiter. We went on a Sunday . Didn't wait long but we never got our drinks . We all wanted coffee since that's what they love to promote on instagram. They had no coffee flights, no regular hot coffee( it's a brunch spot , like cmon ) . We never got refills, we waited for the food , the food was cold. It was busy but it's still on the smaller side so I don't get why they weren't organized. The last experience really makes me re think about going back . Which is a shame since the flights were decent when they do have them. read more

Madres Brunch - Madres chilaquiles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Whittier, California

Went to Madres today for the first time. They don't usually take brunch reservations, but upon calling 2 days in advance they said they would be happy to take my reservation for a party of 8. We did have my senior parents with us, so definitely wanted a spot with reservations. Well, upon arrival they did not have my reservation. We ended up waiting 30 minutes for a table, which is challenging with our senior parents. I will start with a couple standouts - the iced coffee flight and the el churrito french toast. Everything else we found to be just ok. Needed salt and some spice. I do not recommend the margarita flight. The presentation is really cute, but for the price the margaritas tasted like watered down juice. Service was good, but a bit slow. We asked for extra spoons and plates and got 1 spoon and 1 small plate. I feel like the restaurant has potential, but don't feel the need to go back. read more

I've dined her multiple times! Love their Mexican mocha! Ambience is beautiful and most staff were polite. Food came out in a timely manner. I recommended this place to my mom and her girls and they all have dined there for their brunch as well and love it! Thank you! read more

Chile Relleno omelette was very very good! I highly recommend this dish. Packed with flavor and cooked perfectly, the only con is that it is very small. For $19,.. I would expect more. The chilaquiles were great and huge! It was actually too dense and dry. Their white mocha latte with oat milk is definitely 5/5. They have a very interesting menu and flights of lattes and mimosas. It's very loud inside and definitely a party vibe for brunch. We ate early before the big brunch crowds started coming. There are plenty of seating options and accommodations for big groups. read more

Decided try a restaurant in uptown Whittier, we usually stick to the La habra/brea area. We arrived around 8:30. We were seated right away, there were plenty of open tables still. We were also greedy right away. I just ordered a regular brewed coffee. Kids ordered lemonade and husband ordered the margarita flight. They are a huge variety if espresso drinks, maybe next time, The don't have a full bar, just margaritas and micheladas. The margaritas in the flight were nothing special, as the norm for most alcoholic drinks anywhere it was mostly ice, although their flight came with different flavors most of them tasted like flavored syrup. I would skip it next time, for the price is steep $25 for the flight, small and mostly ice. We shared two entrees for they looked really big. We ordered the birria sandwich and the rainbow pancakes. The birria sandwich is served open faced with pork rinds. The birria was good, but the huge pieces of Texas style toast were not working for it to be eaten like a typical sandwich. Served with potatoes, those were decent. The pancakes were ok, huge stack, with different colored pancakes. Nothing special, either. Service was ok, not superb, except for the busser and food runner. He was hustling and he was the only one doing both jobs! I'm sure why this place has 4.5 starts, cute place and decor, music was good, but food was mid. read more

A roach ran out of the bathroom. So gross. I saw the health report someone posted about a vermin infestation and figured maybe it got cleaned up. But we left after seeing the roach. read more

Madres Brunch - my friend trying their chilaquiles rojas con un dulce de leche iced latte :) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Whittier, California

Apparently they offer free mimosa to people if you write a good review? No wonder why I see so many suspicious 5 star reviews here. Madres Brunch is a cafe that serves mexican style brunch items. Parking was really easy and can be found behind the restaurant. I arrived around 9:45 AM and did not have to wait, but once I left around 10:30 AM it was already getting really busy so use the Yelp waitlist for convenience. The cafe itself wasn't too fancy. It felt like an office space with a homey feel and instagram decorations. There were a lot of tables. Honestly the food here is kind of overpriced. I had the al pastor omelette for $19 and portions were small for what its priced at. It didn't come with a side of toast or potatoes either. The omelette itself was just eggs and al pastor, no vegetables. It didnt even taste like al pastor if im being honest...like there was no pineapple in there. I think the French toast for $16 was a better value because it comes in 2 big slabs of toast. Our server citlaly was nice and attentive. She refilled my water quickly whenever I needed it. Everyone here is super friendly and would always ask if everything was ok. read more

Great Service!! Anna was great server! Mimosas were bomb !!! The Birria Benedict was really goood!

They had me at Agua Fresca flight. Madres is one of those restaurants that I saw on social media, and immediately had to go check it out for myself. From the vibrant pink decor, to the tantalizing menu offerings, Madres Mexican brunch set up for success. Located in the beautiful Whittier downtown, Madres never fails to pull in a brunch crowd at any time of the day. I visited around 10:30 and there were tons of people waiting outside to be seated. It took us about 30ish minutes to get seated, and luckily downtown is a great place to walk around and explore while waiting to be seated. They conveniently call your cell number you provide when your table is ready. Our server asked if it was our first time there and explained the menu and off menu items. Not listed are some of the drink flights that they do such as the agua fresca flight, coffee flight and mimosa flight. Our table ordered the Agua Fresca flight which consisted of 4 drinks for $12. Here is what I thought of the food: Agua Fresca Flight: Refreshing, the strawberry and lime flavors were 10/10. Madres Chilaquiles: Hearty and meaty, so much food and the red sauce is spicy and delicious. Pistachio Waffle: Loaded on pistachios and topped with pistachio ice cream, loved the flavors on the waffle. (It's super green so not sure if its food coloring or natural) Overall a great place to have brunch with friends, offering so many delicious Mexican food options. Downtown is great place to explore while you wait, and I highly recommend you come visit. read more

Ridiculously Delicious! Took a recommendation from the waiter and was served a primo omelet. You can taste the freshness of the cheese, beans, tortilla and sauces. Added a little chicken on top to perfection! Will be back soon. read more

Recently came back to try more menu items. I started off with a mimosa and it was absolutely delicious and well made. Next I ordered the fruit salad, which is definitely a great option with a variety of fresh fruit, yogurt, and granola if you want a sharable dish. Of course I had to have the Mazapan latte (hot). Personally I prefer the hot option over the iced option. My favorite dish to order here is the chilango. I opted for red this time, which was just as great as the green one. Maybe I'll ask for half red and half green because both sauces are made well making it hard to choose between either. The service has been consistently great each time I have dined here. The servers are always attentive and offer excellent recommendations for the many menu items they offer. I look forward to my next visit. read more

The service was really great. I wouldn't recommend for large parties because it's a tight fit. The food was OK, nothing special. Lattes were a bit too sweet. The star of the show was the abuelita iced coffee. I'd recommend the sweet breakfast over savory. Overall 6/10 read more

I went here to meet a friend. Went at Noon and they told me they will be 40 minutes. I was asked to put my number and got text. One hour later I see people that came after being seated. Then I go asked the girl and I saw my name being reactivated. I was standing and chatting there the whole time and paid for drinks from them as well that they wanted to charged than include in the final bill. Once seat the wait was long. The water was not filled until asked and like prior reviews there are flies in restaurant. Should by one of those lights. Also food was high price for less meat and up charge. Presentation was good but that was all they have to offer. Watch the owner will not comment or state how they will fix similar observation from this place. I would not go here again. Rather better to eat at home I see a Facebook add today about this place from news. They need to have a better setup and get some order in their business read more

Great spot for cute/trendy brunch or breakfast in Uptown Whittier. Parking was plentiful on the main street at 9am on a Sat without a wait probably til closer to 10am or after. Ambience is bustling and colorful, with neon signs and green leafy arched walls. Tables are fairly packed in what looks like formerly 3 shop spaces combined into one restaurant. Service was attentive and friendly. The caffeinated drinks: my friend thought the cold brew was solid: you can tell the owner appreciates coffee. I enjoyed the hot chai latte with oat milk: not overly sweet and came in a lovely ceramic cup. The food: the Madres Chilaquiles were en pointe--medium spicy with perfect fried texture/sauce. My friend appreciated the quality/authenticity--none of that plain chip crispness of some chilaquiles wannabes at other places. The pistachio waffle was okay (a little dry), and the star of the dish was the pistachio ?butter/cream topping and toasted/candied pistachios. Would recommend and come back for brunch! read more

NORA was the best! Great experience with the girls for a girls brunch! Great food and even better vibes! Stop by AND ASK FOR NORA!!

Well we came here with high expectations because of all the hype on social media and sadly we were so disappointed by the food and service. I ordered a waffle with eggs and bacon. The waffle was cold and the eggs were colder. The bacon was precooked and it wasn't very appealing. Aft r telling the server about my food they brought new eggs but they looked overcooked and had a strange taste, and the waffle had to be changed to pancakes because their waffle maker broke. My friend ordered green chilaquiles but got red ones instead and the server didn't even ask if she could change them. We both ordered cafe de olla, but it really wasn't all that. Needless to say we were seriously disappointed and won't be returning and don't really recommend this place at all. read more

Great brunch place. Don't pass on the hash-brows! Ana did good multitasking and dealing w the crowd

First time here at Madres. The signage on the outside is 0 to none, there are flags above the door but not too noticeable. My friend walked right past it. It is immediately next door to the movie theater. Walked in and got attention right away and was seated. The waitress was very nice and friendly. She came to check on us promptly. I ordered the Avocado Salmon Toast. It was fresh and delicious. I will go back to try many more dishes on the menu. A lot of healthy choices. read more

Thanks Cari for the recs and the amazing service read more

Came here for breakfast. I give it 2 stars for cold chilaquiles and it took a long while for the food to come out. So that only means the chilaquiles was just sitting on the counter. Also, for 3 plates and 3 coffees for $84 (gratuity inc) is unacceptable for what we got. Another reviewer said her plate came out cold too but I needed to see for myself. There goes my hard earned money :( read more
