    Great breakfasts!
    Janine D.

    This is becoming a favorite breakfast spot. We always have great service, meet other nice customers and enjoy a delicious meal! What more can one ask? This lovely little family owned cafe is definitely worth checking out!!

    My Plate! Yes, pink sour cream

    Went to have brunch yesterday for the first time and I did like the service and the food. I been wanting to go there. I noticed the setting from the outside with pink tables, chairs, umbrella. It caught my eye. I had the chilaquiles with steak! Delicious! I do recommend to go and have brunch.

    Looks can be deceiving. I didn't even finish my plate. Take your chances if it's your first time but I know I won't be going back.

    It's a very small space inside and I've seen that they also places tables and chairs outside too, recently. Before that, it was a really long wait to get inside. But that's understandable. What I didn't like was that the wait wasn't really worth it. The chilaquiles tasted like a watered-down version, little flavor and no spice at all. The eggs and rice were mediocre. I think the only good thing my mom and I had was the french toast but even school cafeterias can make good french toast. At the end, I honestly wished I just went to a Mexican restaurant because I know they wouldnt have messed up the rice this bad. I think if they put as much effort into their food as they did with their interior decorating, then maybe this would have been a 3+ star experience.

    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.

    Chilaquiles

    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.

    Visit their other shop!

    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

    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.

    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

    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!!

    Hola amigos, today's adventure brought me to Long Beach Ca…read more Los Compadres is NOT you ordinary run of the mill Mexican restaurant, no sir, do not dare to place this restaurant with thoes, how dare you sir I've always said, Mexican food is poor food, it all the same meat, veggies, cheese and tortilla. If you can afford a steak, you eat the steak, if not cut that one steak and make burritos not much meat, make tacos, less meat, make flautas/taqueros, less than that quesadillas with some meat. You get what i mean. But this high end Mexican restaurant made me a liar! This high end Mexican restaurant doesn't make poor food, this place make food for kings! Every dish is savory every order id above and beyond, to even sit in this wonderful place you feel the like this is what the rich must eat in Mexico, no my friend this is elegance the service is as if your a celebrity and they are working had to keep your business. When you come, and I hope you do, come with respect because the food earned it. The ambiance: Walking in decore, the furniture make you feel like a wealthy rancher like Kevin Costner will walk in at any time. Packed almost always. The food: beyond description but I will try. When ever you see café dela hoja, order it! If you like cinnamon this is coffee made at its best, no sugar or creamer needed, wonderful magical brood to have you sit and see the world around you better, brighter, sweeter. I has chorizo and eggs and a flank steak. Better then mama's.

We came to celebrate two birthdays with a party of 15, and unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. Our server Enrique barely came around, and even when we thanked him, we received no response or acknowledgment. Customer service has just gone down the drain! At the end of our dinner, after spending over $600 as a group, my husband mentioned that we were celebrating two birthdays. The server's response was, "Well, I will have to charge you for two cakes because you didn't tell me on time." My husband paid for the cakes, of course, but the way the situation was handled was very disappointing and left a bad impression. We chose this restaurant to celebrate a special occasion, especially because we have been coming here for years, and unfortunately, the experience took away from what should have been a happy celebration. With a large party and a bill combined of over $600, we expected much better service and hospitality. Very disappointing experience, especially after coming here for years. Unfortunately we will not be coming back.

This is one of those places where you know exactly what you're going to get every time--great food and excellent service. The service is consistently excellent. The staff is attentive, friendly, and does a great job of checking on the table without being overbearing. Their salsa is probably some of the freshest and best I've ever had. It has great flavor and is one of the things I look forward to every time I come here. My absolute favorite is their green chile pork, which I get as a chile verde wet burrito. It is outstanding. I honestly haven't tried a huge portion of the menu because when I find something I really like, I tend to stick with it--and their chile verde wet burrito is just too good for me to pass up. That said, I've also had their ceviche, which is very good, along with their hard-shell tacos. Even the basics like the rice and beans are consistently good. I try to make it to Enrique's at least once a month, and after dozens of visits, they continue to deliver. Consistency means a lot to me when it comes to a restaurant, and Enrique's has earned my repeat business. Excellent food, excellent salsa, excellent service, and one of my favorite chile verde burritos anywhere. An easy five stars.

Palapa next door offers the same food menu but has more drink options. Many opted for outdoor seating on the terrace due to the gorgeous views, but not wanting to wait we agreed to indoor seating. The interior of the restaurant is also very beautiful. The bathrooms were too dark for my tastes though. Our waitress was absolutely phenomenal, super friendly and anticipating all of our needs (water refills, leftover containers, etc.). Service overall by all staff was friendly. We were actually presently surprised with the taste of the food, thinking it might be more Americanized but they actually had very authentic and tasty totopos (tortilla chips). The tomato salsa that came with the chips was also very refreshing. We asked for hot sauce too and the house habanero salsa really packed a punch! We ordered carne asada nachos, pork belly chilaquiles (from the brunch menu), a breakfast burrito, poke, and steamed clams. The steamed clams came in a rich tomato broth and the breakfast burrito was massive. The poke was just okay and the chilaquiles a bit too soggy for me, and the carne asada nachos a bit dry. Nonetheless, presentation and portion sizes were respectable. The last comment is that food here is quite pricey but that reflects the likely high rent of a restaurant in 2nd and PCH. Ola still exceeded expectations and provided a more than pleasant meal.
