Consistently great food and an amazing atmosphere. The live music is phenomenal. Highly recommend their brunch.
Madre has one of the best selections of Mezcal in Southern California, and the bartender Sam offers great expertise of the product. Sam helped with personal suggestions of his favorites, and gave suggestions of what we should like based on specific flavor profile preferences. We will definitely come back to sit at the bar and order Mezcal from Sam.
Food was VERY flavorful. The waitress warned me that the pork chicharron taco was spicy and it definitely was 🥵. Be prepared for a noisy environment. Lots of music and chatter. Definitely a great vibe as long as you're ready for it.
