    The best chilaquiles ever!? Friendly staff, cute place, parking can just be a little bit unlucky depending on when you go.

    The pink floral Bridgerton inspired decoration is so girly so pink so cozy. We made a reservation and was immediately seated and water/drink order was offered. The steak was very tender. The French toast, off menu, was fluffy. The interior fits about 12 people with sidewalk seating. So it's petite. Overall, nice experience.

    We visited Mother's Kitchen on a Sunday at 2 PM. It was a bit busy, but for a party of 2, we got seated within 10 minutes of getting there. We both ordered chilaquiles, I ordered the green and my boyfriend ordered the split of green and red. A couple minutes later, the chef comes out and lets us know that they ran out of the red, so my boyfriend just did all green instead. Once our plates came out, we noticed that our rice was missing. We had to ask the server if rice came with our meal and they said it did but they were out, so we can substitute it with potatoes or hashbrowns. We asked for potatoes. A minute later, the server came back saying they were out of potatoes, but they have fries and hashbrowns, so we got the fries instead. It was a lot to deal with, within a matter of like 10 minutes of sitting down at this restaurant, but I get that we were within 1 hour of closing. It was just a very strange experience to have. On to the food itself, the chilaquiles sauce could have used more spice and salt. It was also weird that the chilaquiles werent topped with any onion or cilantro. I think that would've given it more flavor. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best. We would give it maybe a 6.5/10 rating. The fries, however, were veryyy good! I would have rather just had that as my meal than the chilaquiles itself. Overall, our experience was a bit lacking. Maybe we have to come back right when they open so that they don't run out of stuff? Our server was very friendly though, so I don't fault him for anything. 3 stars for being seated quick, the cute decor, friendly service, pricing isn't too harsh, and delicious fries.

    I'm not going to lie, I'm more of an Orange County girl. But it's my new mission to find all the local Long Beach hidden gems. And I hit the jackpot with mother's kitchen. This place is locally owned and operated. The owners son, Habid was our waiter and took great care of us. It's also, woman owned. The owner, Ericka also has a gorgeous vintage / antique / shabby chic shop in Long Beach. And this reflects in her gorgeous restaurant decor. (Everything is so pink, including their tacos on taco Tuesday) It's street parking. when we walked in, Habid instantly greeted us and sat us down. We came around 2 pm. They do close at 3 pm. So it's a breakfast, brunch and lunch place. They only have 5 tables. Which fill up VERY fast. I wanted to try a couple different things. So we ordered the - Potato taquitos plate (comes with rice and beans) -Chicken burrito wet style -Chilaquiles (pick what sauce you want, how you want your eggs and what cheese) and comes with rice and beans. -And a side order of home fries with onions and bell peppers (huge portion for the price) We went for mostly lunch items. Although they have some incredible breakfast items (their French toast is very popular) After we ordered all that food, the owners son moved us to a larger table so we would have more room for everything. Which was really thoughtful of him. Seriously, the customer service he provided was amazing Everything came out in a very timely manner, it was the best rice I've ever had. Wasn't overcooked or undercooked, not too salty or spicy. It had the best texture and flavor. Same with the beans. So flavorful and not masked with tons of salt Everything was perfectly seasoned and tasted extremely fresh. The prices are great. Especially for the amount of food you get. The portions are very large. When we asked about the dessert options (they don't have a lot of choices. They have things like cookies and etc.) unfortunately they were out of everything since it was the end of the day As a yelper with a long list of places I want to try, it's hard to pick places I want to try again instead of trying new places. But I 100 percent will make this place a staple. (Can't wait to get my hands on their burger and pink tacos on taco Tuesday) -I'm in love with the decor. It's seriously so beautiful. It would be perfect for a girls day brunch -The food -The prices -The customer service -And love the fact it's family owned and operated. Come support one of Long Beaches hidden beautiful gems

    Came here on a lunch break from work and it is amazing!!! Family-owned, worker at the front was very nice. Quick service my food was ready within 10 minutes. Food is amazing, seasoned steak, rice, and beans. Green salsa it comes with slaps. Will definitely be back

    If you're on the hunt for the perfect girls' brunch spot, look no further than Mother's Kitchen. Just a heads-up: if you're driving too fast, you might miss this cute little gem--but trust me, you'll want to slow down for it. Everything about this place screams "girly" in the best way possible. From the adorable décor to the pops of pink, it's the kind of spot that makes you want to snap a few pictures before your food arrives. There's even a few outdoor tables in pink, perfect for soaking up some sunshine with your mimosa. The food? Good and satisfying, but honestly, the vibe steals the show here. It's more about the aesthetic and experience--a place where you just feel happy to linger and laugh with your besties. And let's not forget our waitress--sweet, stylish, and so attentive, adding that extra sparkle to the whole brunch experience. If you love a place with personality Mother's Kitchen is calling your name.

    If I'm being honest I don't understand all the bad or less than decent reviews! I am thankful my friend and I had a great experience. It seemed as though this restaurant gets crowded and I had been forgetting to call and make a reservation, so I did a few hours before we came and were able to get one right away for a party of 2 indoors. We went on a Saturday afternoon around 12pm. We did arrive I think half an hour late but they were okay with it! Try to come early to find street parking, we got lucky and found a spot nearby right away. It wasn't that crowded for a Saturday afternoon either, two tables were still available indoors and plenty of seating outside. Service was great, but it did take us a while for us to get our food so we were munching on the tortilla chips forever. The food did turn out so good at least! My friend got the chilaquiles and I got the tacos. I got pollo, asada, and al pastor. All were super good. I did want the pink tacos but those are only on Tuesdays but I was happy regardless. Portions are amazing, we did have to take some of our food home. Indoors was also so beautiful! I recommend coming here for a small cute brunch. It would be difficult for a large party though if you wanted to get seated indoors. I would definitely come back!!

    This is the decor behind one of the tables.

    I felt warm and welcoming vibes as soon as we walked in!!! Charming and very cute restaurant that makes food with lots of love! Ordered the chilaquiles with both red and green sauce, the french toast, horchata coffee on ice, and the Bid Burger! The chilaquiles plate was served with a generous amount of beans, rice, and chilaquiles with eggs over easy. Both of the red and green sauces were on point! I would absolutely order this meal again! The flavorful french toast was served with 4 pieces of toast and fresh fruit and a lightly sweetened cream. The delicious horchata and coffee iced drink was refreshing and served with whipped cream. The Bid Burger was served on a warm and soft Hawaiian bun and the fries were crispy and yummy! Bid was very friendly and helpful, excellent service! I highly recommend this spot, it's a new favorite of mine! There is plenty of street parking!

    This is a quaint restaurant tucked away on Orange Avenue in Long Beach and could be easy to miss. Inside is beautifully decorated. Inside has 5 tables and indoors it seats 12 people. Not ideal for large parties but a great spot for a couple since four of the five tables seat 2. Pink and peach florals are draped throughout with candelabra chandeliers. I ordered a breakfast burrito to go. Opening the bag I was pleasantly surprised at the size. Unwrapping it I was a bit disappointed feeling how greasy it was. Not something I enjoyed. I really did like this place and was hoping for a new go to for breakfast. I ate a quarter of it and tapped out. Street parking only but you will not have to walk far. Hours are seven days a week from 7am-3pm Rating based on Decor 5 Food 1

    Chilaquiles add steak

    Thought I'd give it a go. As most have stated the place was tiny. Wife ordered the wet burrito with asada. She got it with both the red and green sauce. Green sauce was pretty tart, red was ok. The worse part was the asada, tiny bits burnt to a crisp. Definitely not worth it. I had the chilaquiles and added a steak. I assumed it would have been carne asada or arrachera but I'm not sure what cut it was. Just look at my picture. The egg and steak didn't come on the plate so I threw it together for the pic. Other pic shows how it came separately and man is that a sad steak :( I wanted to try the cafe de olla but it wasn't ready so I can't comment on that. I guess I gave it a try but doubt I'd come back. If you're looking to take fancy pics this is probably your place but if you want amazing Mexican food go elsewhere....

    Upon arrival, the space of this location will surprise you. I thought it'd be a large space, but it was quite small and cramped inside, but they offer outdoor seating on the curb as well. I was quoted a 30 minute wait because my party preferred indoor seating. While waiting, one person arrived saying they called ahead for a reservation of a party of 5/6, which was unfortunate because I wasn't notified about a party that big being ahead of us, the sign in book only showed 2 parties ahead of me with less than 3 people per group. Only one person arrived and took up all that space right away while waiting on their party to arrive, while my entire party waited in the beaming sun. The party eventually arrived at the same time we were sat, which just sucked because my 4 top arrived together and already knew what we'd order. We would've been half way through our meal if they didn't allow that person to sit without their entire party. I think they can improve service and even benefit on a better table/reservation system. However, the food was okay. It was definitely brunch and familiar food, but nothing about it was fresh, unique or even tasted homemade. The sauce on the chilaquiles didn't taste authentic, it tasted like it was from a can. A lot of the food didn't have that home made quality which is what I imagined coming to a small family owned business like this. The theming is gorgeous, and the cafe de la olla was fine, but I do think this place is mostly for the cute vibe and aesthetic.

    I've driven by here many times...today was the day to check it out. This is a tiny little space that seats about 15 people. They are family owned and operated. They serve breakfast and lunch. It is so sweet...everything is pink and roses. The decor is really well done! AND, the food does not disappoint. We had the breakfast sandwich on Hawaiian Bread, with egg, bacon and avocado. It was absolutely delicious. It is served with perfectly prepared French Fries. The young man who waited on us was so attentive and personable. Our whole experience was just delightful

    Finally made it out and they are about to close. :(…read more It was very busy when we arrived and we had to wait about 20 minutes, but after being seated, everything was smooth. Trying several items on the menu provided us a nice sampling of what they have to offer. We enjoyed everything we ordered. My favorite was probably the Brussel sprouts as they were cooked to perfection and not sweet like most restaurants serve them. A close 2nd was the chicken parmesan served over zucchini noodles. The final item ordered was a mushroom pasta with shrimp. The shrimp were fantastic with a light char and perfect flavoring. The pasta was good. It was a bit to spicy for me with the chili oil so I only had a small portion. The inside is simple yet inviting with an open layout. They seemed a bit short staffed, but every one was hustling and honestly we were well taken care of. Sad I won't have another opportunity to try more of the menu, but grateful to squeeze in this visit before they close in about a week.

It did look quite busy on the patio when we checked in with the hostess. We were informed that it would prob be about 20 minutes or so for a table and if we wanted to wait at the bar. Exactly what we did. Bar area had maybe 5/6 hi top chairs that look onto the bar. Gabriel and Francisco who were working was knocking the drinks out one by one. Sitting there and just watching them create magic for everyone, it was quite amusing. Seeing how it's made and presented with precise detail, it was an art. While waiting for the table we started off with the raspberry lychee martini and the spicy margaritas. Both were great. The right amount of kick with each sip. Gabriel was knocking them out one by one and man was he busy. Fransisco took are of us while we were eating which we ended up just having our dinner at the bar instead. The last time I remembered the chicken Parmesan which was excellent. So we started off with the grilled prawns as a starters. Five prawns in a skewers and grilled with a delicious sauce accompanied. It was tasty and quite delicious. Decent size and meaty for each bite. Entrees was a little mishap as our meal was mistakenly given to the party next to us which they enjoyed. Honesty mistake but we laughed it off. Kitchen was informed and a rushed was put on our order. We weren't in a rush so it was fine with us. They apologized and graciously offered us a dessert after dinner. Something simple but very graceful for the honest mistake. Entrees, the wild mushrooms pasta which was quite tasty and pretty decent in size. The cream sauce which wasn't too over powering the meal was great. Each bite was very tasty. Then there was the chicken Parmesan which why we were here and expecting. The last visit it was excellent with grilled broccolini, slices of tomatoes on top and mozzarella cheese and onto spaghetti pasta. It was great. Thinking it would be the same this time which it wasn't. This visit, it was just served with squash pasta and buffalo mozzarella on top. Honestly it wasn't what I expected, somewhat of a little disappointed. Chicken was good don't get me wrong. But the hot meat with sauce and then you have literally COLD squash pasta paired with it. It was a little underwhelming. Overall, we still had a nice experience. The place was pretty full and of course the lakers were on so it was fun seeing everyone cheering them on. Bar seating for a meal was great as we had fun conversations with both Gabriel and Francisco. Plus they were cranking them drinks out one by one. Excellent in what they do. The drinks were great, grilled prawns and wild mushrooms pastas were excellent. Chicken parm, this time was a miss. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and cocktails. Also the dessert, highly recommend the Cinnabon with vanilla ice cream. Wow, it went down very well. Hoping next time will outdo this.

We came all the way from Santa Clarita and we're not disappointed. Past all the namebrand places by the aquarium and came here and we're not disappointed.

I'm not sure if it's always that lively on Friday nights, but it was the weekend of Warped Tour, so there was a lot of music and energy. If you're looking for a quieter meal, this may not be the best night to visit. The food itself was good, but the wait was much longer than expected. We waited almost 40 minutes for our order. Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.

This place popped up, and it was happy hour. So we thought why not. We got lucky and found parking close (rare for that street). And walked over and immediately loved the vibe. We walked in and were greeted immediately, and then brought upstairs. The decor on the way up was awesome. The old school nature, with paintings and abstract vintage pieces.. love. It felt like we were in an old industrial building. We were surprised that it was pretty empty when we got up there. We sat at the bar, and love the decor upstairs too.

For starters, we got the Parker House Rolls, which comes with truffle butter, local citrus honey, and grana padano cheese. These rolls were so fluffy and flavorful. We also ordered the hummus, which was so rich and creamy, and the oysters from the raw bar. For the main, we ordered the Smoked & Glazed Pork Chop, Fish & Chips, and the Wedge salad to share. And let me tell you, that everything was so good. The Smoked & Glazed Pork Chop came with a whole show, where staff would bring out the dish in a smoke-infused glass dome and open the dome when presented on the table so we can smell and see all the smoke. Not only was it beautiful to look at, but it tasted just as beautifully. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the rainbow swiss chard, cheddar grits, candied pecans, and avocado honey helped balance out all the juiciness from the meat. They use haddock fillet for the Fish & Chips, which was fried to perfection. The Wedge Salad is what actually knocked my socks off! This was one of the best wedge salads that I've ever had. It had your key ingredients: iceberg, buttermilk dressing, red onion, crumbled egg, tomato, bacon gastrique, blue cheese, dill, chives - but something about this salad was different! It was so refreshing, flavorful--just everything you want in a dish.

He immediately complied and proceeded to then antagonize him by telling him people eat there. He said yes I understand and got off. She proceeded to turn back MULTIPLE times to keep going. She then said you and your party can get out or I can call the cops. When I asked the clear manager in his outfit, requesting who the fake GM was, he along with the Bartender on shift played stupid as to supply her name. Margarita clearly was not a GM but felt that she needed to keep creating an unnecessary situation. The situation was already de escalated when he complied with what she asked. Do better with your staffing saint and second.
