My family and I were headed to a Soccer game and with it being a long weekend and traffic being very light we thought it would be great to yelp a good restaurant on our way so we can sit and enjoy some delicious food. We came across Madre Oaxacan Restaurant And the reviews looked pretty good so we thought we would give it a shot. We walked in and the hostess who greeted us wasn't very friendly and that was a little disappointing to be honest but our server Cassandra was amazing and made up for the hostess. She was very friendly, smiley and knowledgeable about the menu. We asked for her opinion on many dishes and she was great about giving us pros and cons on each dish based on her personal preference. We tried a little of everything thanks to her. As far as the food, we ordered the taquitos and the langostinos. The taquitos we're delicious, I'm not used to seeing them so thin but the chicken was very flavorful. The langostinos was really good too but I have to say the rice with shrimp bits that it comes in is incredible and I would love for them to have a dish with just that! As an entree, my son and I ordered the enchiladas which had a little of everything, green enchiladas, mole enchiladas, chicken, beef and chorizo and it was quite good! I had never had mole before and I think it's an acquired taste possibly but I really liked it. We also did get the flan as a dessert and it's so creamy and delicious, I would definitely recommend it! As for the drinks, all three of us loved our drinks! I ordered the horchata, my son the lemonade and my husband the passion fruit and honestly all 3 were amazing! Parking is a little tough but I'm sure it's the same anywhere there. So just prepare to park a little further out. Overall I really like this place and most of all, Cassandra! Thanks for the great service! :) More...

Wow!! This place is AMAZING. Customer service was great, Oscar helped us and he was very kind and made our experience here delightful. All the food was soooo good and delicious especially the Siete Mares, that was very delicious, the broth was just... can't explain it you would just need to try it to see how amazing it is. The flan also was very delicious, I normally don't get flan because some places don't get it right, but this flan was on point on every taste bite..  I highly recommend this place you will not regret it!

We wanted to try a new Oaxacan restaurant and Madre delivered.  We tried their quesadillas de flor de calabasa and they were delicious. We had Chile's rellenos and tamal de mole  yummy!  We had their mole negro and it was good. For dessert we had flan de cafe and boy oh boy was it outstanding  Definitely worth coming back again.

The drinks here at Madres are oh so good. SO  many different labels of mezcal to choose from. The staff always treats us like family and we love the shrimp enchiladas.  The mole negro delicious. Not a fan of the location in Torrance but this location is far superior and really gots there service down perfectly. Would strongly suggest you come by and try them out even if just for the drinks.

So when I came here this weekend I didn't realize that Madre was a chain and I had just recently been to the Madre in Torrance. When I realized this I was a little skeptical because the one in Torrance......wasn't great. Well this location really impressed me!! It was a decent bit smaller than the Torrance location, but it didn't feel too smushed. The service was great. Our waitress regularly checked in on us, and all of our food came out in a timely manner. All of the food was delicious! The only complaint I would have was with my entree. I got the Madre's enchiladas, and basically this entree is 4 different types of enchiladas. I think this is a personal preference but I wasn't a huge fan of the mole. Everything else was great! This place is super cute and since it is Oaxacan it is different than a lot of other Mexican restaurants. More...

This restaurant has the best food I have ever tasted! We went as a group for my cousin's graduation and the servers were especially nice and attentive. We stayed at the bar section for a while until they had our table ready. Meantime, the bartender was super nice and friendly. Highly recommend! More...

I love madre and been to their other location in Torrance . The host was friendly, greeted us and sat us down as soon as we walked in . It was my moms first time and she had a great experience. The server was amazing, very knowledgeable of the types of mole he was able to help my mom decide which mole enchilada to get. Their food was amazing super flavorful, I always get the enchiladas it's my favorite. There's always parking outside. I didn't get a michelada but I have before and it's a must. More...

Came here at the tail end of Happy Hour with my wife the day we moved to Palms. Loved the food! The Molé chicken is excellent and we can't wait to come back to try more items on the menu. We also had a tostada as well as the queso fundido. I probably wouldn't get the fundido again, being from Texas I long for my Queso fix....The only reason I didn't give stars was the service. Our waiter was a bit rude, but whatever - we will definitely be back since we can walk here from our place. More...

This restaurant has charm and character. Wonderful menu and selection. Many authentic dishes adorned with delicious moles and sauces. No pretense, just lots of flavors and perhaps the best Mexican beer list in LA. And mezcal. And hand made tortilla. And tequila. Great service and family style ambiance. More...

The rapport developed, with the two gentlemen that attended the clientele, was immediately felt and my 1st visit was great. I had a lunch special of chicken "enmoladas" (mole enchiladas) accompanied by a delicious "nopales" (cactus) salad and black bean paste. I did observe dishes being served and all looked delish & spread delicious aromas. All looked authentic, just like the plates I was served on a visit to beautiful Oaxaca. Definitely going back.

YES!! The best Oaxacan restaurant I have found in LA. It is small but well furnished with music and vibes. The mole is quite original and inherently makes my Spanish skills better.

This place just underwent a pretty drastic transformation. I first went here a couple years ago when I first moved here and it was terrible. However, a couple months ago, I saw that they had remodeled the whole place and the food and drinks looked pretty good, so I thought I'd give it another shot. I am SO happy I did. I'm a pretty simple fellow so I went with the house margarita and two asada tacos with rice and beans. It was all fantastic! The margarita was pretty strong and tasted really fresh. The tacos were seasoned really well and the rice and beans were my favorite kind! If you're in the area, this is a really great little hole in the wall Mexican joint. 10/10 will go again. More...

Restaurant was very clean. Staff was friendly as soon as we walked in. Food took a little longer than expected but our waitress communicated with us the whole time. She made sure we had enough water, chips and salsa while we waited. I had the chile relleno and red sauce was a little sweeter than I am used to but that might be because of where the food is originally from. The cheese was a little too pasty for me. The rice and beans were good. I was happy they didn't bring the check till I asked for it. Overall, it was a good place. More...
