What a great surprise while traveling thru this area. Enjoyed such nice hospitality (Yes Kim..we mean you) and the food was delish. The fried pork rinds/fresh gauc was salty crunchy and almost a meal by itself. The southwest salad/chicken was just so very tasty..as well as the chicken tacos. It's always a hit or miss while traveling thru..hit this place. read more

Super long wait times, with no actual system to track place in line. We waited 30+ minutes, and it was very warm inside. They had the garage windows open when its 97+ outside. The ambiance was okay.. loud music playing while people are eating. We finally gave up waiting and went somewhere else. Not giving it low score because we didn't get to eat. read more

First time trying Poca Madre and it was really good! We tried the queso Fundido appetizer which was pretty good and the Pina colada agua Fresca tasted so fresh and the little jarrito they serve it in was a cute touch! The birria tacos were huge and filled with meat and had great flavor. The green chicken enchiladas were also delicious. The rice and beans were also. For dessert we tried the churros and they were hot and fresh. The service was great Kim was so nice and answered any questions we had about the menu and then even suggested for us to come back and try the brunch menu. We will definitely be back and I'm happy to have another local option here in Avondale! read more

Went this morning. (4/24)This place was okay. My French toast was okay. Just a bit over priced for my opinion. Since it's just the concha French toast with fruit on top. That's it. If you want eggs or bacon or anything else that's separate. Unless they have something on the menu that comes with all of that. But who knows because the menu has a lot of options. But it was good. My husband ordered a chimichanga burrito portion was huge. He said it was good. Hotness was nice. But service was so-so. Took forever to get our drink order in, that we ended up ordering our food right away. And then someone else became our server??! But there was this couple sitting behind us and obviously she didn't like her food. But I over heard telling her that since. The owners weren't here and that the cooks didn't really care. Or that they didn't really do what they're supposed to be doing. Like wait what!! Maybe I misunderstood her because she was trying to talk very low like if she didn't want someone else to hear her. But overall it's was good. But it was all that. Maybe Will try it again but maybe for dinner. Because breakfast probably not. Ambience was okay. But it seems like they had bad bunny on repeat. Which was a bit annoying because I'm not really a fan. But that's just me. To each its own. Maybe try a variety of Spanish music. read more

First, the bad, because that's what matters when you're spending your hard earned money. I spent over $80 on two plates, so I expected much better. The photos make the food look amazing, and when it arrived it looked great, but that's where it ended. The birria queso tacos had a strange flavor, and the consommé tasted like watered-down canned tomato soup. The biggest disappointment was the ribeye. It tasted like salt and little else. The melted butter helped, but a good steak shouldn't rely on butter for flavor. It's also more expensive than some steakhouses while giving you less. The loaded potato was bland too. I've had similar potatoes from all the berto's restaurant that tasted just as good. The restaurant itself could have been cleaner, with food left on several seats. The service was decent since it wasn't busy, but the dining room was noisy and filled with smoke. Overall, the presentation was impressive, but the food simply didn't justify the price. read more

The Birria tacos were good but don't come with anything for $20 and tasted like french toast they cooked it on the same grill they had just made French toast on. The green juice was good. They didn't offer water or chips and salsa. Not sure if you have to ask for those or not. The service leaves a bit to be desired. You feel like you are there for them not the other way around. I asked for my check and my waitress sat over there for five minutes on her phone and talking with the other waitresses. Overall, the place is a little loud and feels like a knock off of Hash Kitchen rather than its own concept. Very gimmicky. The menu is a bit all over the place. There's not a defined difference between the brunch menu and the dinner menu besides a couple breakfast menu items, but there is a hard stop between the two at 3 PM and a few of the appetizers that they probably should serve all day are only served after 3 PM. I probably won't be back, but if you are into the club, or doing a ladies night out before going elsewhere, then this is the place for you. read more

Food had zero flavor, it looked pretty, but didn't taste like anything. Restaurant is absolutely beautiful though. Music was a little too loud to enjoy a conversation. Service was good for us, however, there were other tables that were obviously frustrated. Hopefully they figure it out. read more

The Fajitas de Camarón was delicious! Shrimp (big) peppers and onions that were full of flavor. Everything tasted fresh, and the portion was generous. I highly recommend trying the La Bolsa Rosa drink, it's refreshing, vibrant, and the perfect way to end a busy day. read more

Service was good; everyone was really nice. Ambiance was decent. Food was blah! Ordered the sopes. The sope itself was really hard and the rest lacked flavor! Same thing for the side salsas. Also ordered the chilaquiles rellenos. They were just warm, cheese was not melted at all when biting into them and they were soggy (as they're served in a molcajete). Sauce could be better. Coffee was good; just needs to be less sweeter. Concha served with the coffee was good! It was the best part. read more

Viviana is excellent ! Great food too ! Street tacos and horchata is so yummy . Great Vibe and beautiful decor .

I believe the intention of this new restaurant is to be different, good and unique, trying to implement an upscale experience in their menu and environment. However, I truly believe that you can do a better when you are trying to serve a $20 dollar plate plus tax. I ordered the Quesabirria (3 birria tacos) and each taco was full of fat (cueros). Disgusting in my opinion and overpriced if you serve this low quality of meat. read more

Went this morning on the 22nd of February with a party of 5. I called to make a reservation at 8:30 that morning for 10:30am and was put on hold for 6 minutes then hung up on. I tried to call back but it went to voicemail. I told my wife. Let's just go in and wait because it looked good and I was willing to wait. Upon arrival the hostess took my name, my family and I sat down in the waiting area. 20 minutes go by and I start seeing people who came in after us with parties of 4+ getting seated. A couple I assumed had reservations. I'm not mad at that. I actually think it's great they take reservations for parties more than 4 cause it does make it easier to plan for both the guest and the business. But then I started seeing walk ins get seated with 3 people, 4 people and I waited a bit longer till I decided after waiting close to 50 minutes how much longer for me and my party. The girl said she called my name and nobody came. I kindly told her that was impossible because as soon as I put my name on the list I sat in the chair RIGHT NEXT TO THE HOSTESS. If y'all got cameras please check. We were there from 10:22-11:05 waiting to be seated. Never once left that chair. I was there with my wife, mother and children. All of us would have heard her call my name. As soon as I explained that to her she just said "well you see I called you once inside and twice outside and nobody came. Your name is crossed off here. So I'm sorry I don't know what you want me to do. I can go get my manager but you're just going to have to wait" saying sorry does not mean anything especially when you're saying it with an attitude. As soon as I was met with confrontation and combativeness is when I matched that energy and explained that for a while they had tables outside able to accommodate my party, they had a couple tables inside that they could have accommodated us with before setting up to take a reservation that was coming in and yet she never once thought to ask the whole time we were sitting there what the name was to our party. She just let us sit there. If I didn't ask I'd still be waiting. I was so close I was also able to hear every conversation she was having on the phone. She was telling people estimated wait times. One conversation I remember in particular was that guest made a reservation the night before for Sunday morning and it was cancelled. Apparently the guest called and asked to be put back on the list and she said she would go ask her manager. They allowed it! The guest came in with 5 people and got sat immediately. So you can cancel a reservation there and get put back on and not have to wait? Essentially that's just cutting the line. When I got to speak with the manager I explained my perception of everything and let him know I have been observing the dining room and patio; tables had been open to accommodate my party. I understand staffing. So just cause tables are open doesn't mean they can just sit people. They'd get bottle necked. What I was explaining to him is that multiple parties were coming in after us and getting seated and he can make it right by sitting us promptly and serving us since we waited more than we really needed to off his hostesses mistake. I'm lead to believe she crossed my name off on accident and instead of apologizing and making it right for my family and myself. She got defensive and gave me an attitude. I get that mistakes happen. All I ask is for accountability to be made and for the mistake to be corrected. She even tried to come over to Pablo and explain herself to him while I'm asking for him to just make it right. She was giving me an attitude in front of him. I wasn't asking for anything free. I wasn't asking for someone to be in trouble. I just wanted to be treated fairly. I got hung up on, I got passed up on for close to an hour, and then I got an attitude from someone instead of them apologizing for making what could've been a genuine mistake. All in all despite all of that. The food was really good. Bridgette and Pablo were amazing as a server and manager. Those 3 there is why I'd give it another chance. But that girl that was hosting needs more training on customer service. I've been in leadership roles for a long time and employees who lack self accountability and professionalism especially at the front end will hurt your establishment. Won't matter if the food is good. The first thing guest see before the food and tasting the food is the service you give to the customer and the cleanliness of the business. The cleanliness was great the food was great the cooks MOVE (they pumped food out fast and it was good). Pablo, Bridgette, and the kitchen team. Thank you so much for making the experience better than what started out to be a disaster. read more

First time trying out this restaurant. Arrived on a Sunday around 10:30 am. As expected, one hour wait. Decided to sit at the bar because there were open seats. Waited 10 minutes for server to take our drink and food order. Food arrived 20 minutes later. I ordered the French Toast with bananas and my son had the Posole. I unfortunately my French Toast was dry. Took two bites and decided I wasn't going to eat it. I sat there for the next 25 minutes while my son finished his meal and the server finally asked me if we needed anything else. I told her to take my plate away because I didn't care for my meal. She responded my telling me "that's not what you told me". I responded, " I sat here the entire time watching my son eat his food and you never one asked me if I needed, wanted anything else, and you want to argue with me"? The audacity of this server. Needless to say, I will never return to this restaurant. I did have a conversation with the manager and he apologized but made no other offer. Needless to say I'll never go back. read more

The food was wonderful and they had a lot of varying options for brunch that I've never seen at other places! I don't recommend going on weekends if you want a chill meal. The service was OK but I think our server was a little overwhelmed with the number of tables she was tending to. Overall, I'd go again! read more

Friends brought us today for breakfast. Everything was delicious. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed. From the perfectly soft pastry on top of the Cafe de Olla to the warm fresh salsa and chips. The chilaquiles did not disappoint. Ariana was our server. The was genuinely friendly and happy. On top of it all it's a beautiful atmosphere. We will definitely be back. read more

I had the chorizo street taco, they were ok at best. Service was good. My biggest complaint was how LOUD the music was. Couldn't have a conversation without yelling, even the waitress had a hard time taking our order. It was so loud we thought we would have to text each other just to communicate. I'm sure the music could be lowered without having an impact on the ambiance. read more

I had a really disappointing experience here. After we ordered, our waitress never brought plates, and despite multiple attempts to get her attention, we were ignored. I even tried to get help from another staff member (who appeared to be handling multiple roles- bartender and host), but he also walked past us without acknowledging us at first. It was honestly embarrassing, especially since other customers noticed. When he finally came over, there was no apology. We also had to flag down the waitress again just to get the bill, and throughout the visit, no one checked on us or offered things like water refills--even though the place wasn't busy. On top of that, I ordered the "Golden Hour" drink, which took about 30 minutes to arrive and unfortunately tasted extremely bitter and unpleasant... it was way too acidic that it burned my throat. It's as if the bartender did that on purpose- if he did, please be very careful and not order any drinks from the bar. Overall, the service was very poor, and the experience felt frustrating from start to finish. I hope management takes steps to better train staff and improve customer care. read more
