" I visited Madre for a family celebration and it was perfect! The staff was incredibly accommodating, even with a large group. I enjoyed the mole enchiladas – they were bursting with flavor and beautifully plated. The live music made our night so much fun and added to the festive vibe. A true experience of Oaxacan gastronomy that I can't wait to share with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" A fun evening spent at Madre, the food was delicious, especially the different types of mole! The service can be a little slow, but with the vibrant noise, it didn’t bother me much. Every dish was well-presented, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I would recommend it to friends looking for a flavorful meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I appreciate that they’re committed to authenticity, but I found parts of my meal lacking in seasoning. The ambiance is engaging, though, with a nice selection of mezcal. The staff was friendly but occasionally overwhelmed, leading to a bit of a slower service experience. Overall, I think they have potential but could use a bit of focus. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was expecting more. While I appreciate the focus on Oaxacan cuisine, I found the flavors to be a bit off. I had the mole with chicken, but it didn't have that authentic richness I was craving. The service was okay, but not as attentive as I would have liked. The ambiance was nice, but it felt a bit chaotic due to the live music. Not sure if I would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of the best Oaxacan experiences I've had! The moles were amazing, and I loved the variety of tacos they offered. As a big fan of mole, I can say that their recipes are on point. The service was friendly, and we even got to enjoy live music during our late lunch. The only downside was a bit of noise, but that’s expected with live performances. Overall, would come back again!

" Madre is a mixed bag for me. The atmosphere is fantastic—the live music creates such a great vibe. However, the service was hit-or-miss, and I did not appreciate the staff’s attitude at times. On a positive note, the moles tasted authentic, but I found some dishes quite salty. I might return, but I’ll be more cautious about what I order. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely experience dining at Madre! The mole enchiladas I ordered blew my mind; they were so rich and flavorful! We also tried the churros for dessert, which were heavenly. The staff was attentive, but I did notice some delays in service during peak times. Still, the overall experience was delightful and the ambiance is cozy and welcoming. A hidden gem for sure!
