Authentic Mexican Food that is so delicious! The food was so delicious and so authentic we came two nights in a row! The staff, Jimmy, the manager, and Liz our server made the experience excellente! My recommendations are the chips, salsa and guacamole, the enchiladas, passionfruit margaritas, the flight of Mezcal that is of the house Madre . The salad Oaxaquena is so delicious!

Food 9/10 Ambiance 10/10 Service 5/10 The food and drinks are absolutely solid. The mezcal flights come with little i formation cards about each mezcal which I loved. We got two entrees and appetizer which was a mistake because the plates are absolutely huge, we barely made a dent in the food and the take home box was a good three pounds. My only complaint was the service was so slow we were there for 2 hours, which actually turned out to be a good thing because we ended up hearing the live music which was a beautiful touch. And there was a child that would not stop screaming while I was trying to have a romantic birthday dinner with my boyfriend. Totally not their fault, but the restaurant has good acoustics which made it sound like the kid was screaming right into my ear :(

The Good: The food overall was very good. My carne asada tacos were very tasty and had a slight kick which was nice. The Por Favor draft beer was also very good. Furthermore, the service was pretty good as well. The Not So Good: Automatic 20% gratuity sneakily added onto bill, where there was another open tip line to tip on top of the already generated tip. My problem with this is twofold - 1. Not sure why we were auto charged 20% gratuity when there was 4 of us + 2 kids. That is not a large group of people. 2. Trying to get unsuspecting victims to tip on top of another tip is so tacky. Also, just a heads up for parents - they only have one booster seat in the entire restaurant so keep that in mind and prep accordingly. They have more high chairs, however. Overall, I'd be down to go back because, once again, the food and overall experience was pleasant. That said, the bill rubbed me the wrong way. This is coming from someone who does typically tip min 20% regardless.

Good food and service it was really good and I like the pink design. Over server Elijah was great

Appropriate place to spend Mother's Day at a place called Madre. Reservation got lost tho so the wait was about 45mins. The parking garage was a bit confusing with the signage. Finally parked then you walk upstairs to restaurant. There's areas outside to sit while you wait for your table. Oaxacan cuisine is one of my favorite! The molcajete did not disappoint. Then we were treated to live music with an excellent mariachi band. Great place for drinks, good food, large group and live music

A great spot for Oaxacan cuisine, my wife and I have been by a couple times now for brunch and dinner. While we haven't delved through too much of the menu just yet, we can certainly vouch for the fresh & balanced ceviche de pescado, Madre's enchiladas, barbacoa de borrego, and brightly flavorful enchiladas oaxaquenas de camaron. Drinks have been consistently well-executed with favorites including an excellent Cadillac margarita, Al Chile!, La Mil Amores, and Chido Wey! Seating is plentiful both indoors and outdoors and service is overall decent with room for improvement.
