" The mole I had here was absolutely delicious, and the portion sizes were generous. The service was sometimes slow, but they were polite and attentive when they did come around. The atmosphere has a relaxed vibe, perfect for enjoying good food. I’d say it’s worth a visit, especially for the flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

The environment is always buzzing with energy, making it a perfect spot for a night out. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. Five stars from me! " (*Curated Review*)

" Madre is a splendid little restaurant showcasing Oaxacan cuisine at its finest. The atmosphere is alive and colorful, drawing you in instantly. I savored the chicken mole and it was comfort food at its best. The service was on point, and I look forward to returning for more delicious meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly enjoyed my lunch at Madre. The mole dishes are authentic, flavorful, and so well prepared. However, I found the service to be inconsistently good. Some staff members were amazing, while others seemed overwhelmed. Even so, I'm eager to return and order different items to see if my next experience matches the last. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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!
