Reviews for Madre! Oaxacan Restaurant and Mezcaleria in Torrance, CA

Food was amazing, as always. Service can sometimes forget you (they don't bring silverware, tortillas, etc). But get it with... the pandemic. My main issue is they charge you for anything extra (sauces, etc). It's not a super cheap restaurant, so I don'tknow understand that. But great food ! I had taste of Oaxaca Read more

Food: I ordered Madre’s enchiladas (different meat substituted with cheese) and Tamrindo. Tamrindo was sweet and tangy.... Absolutely loved the drink and enjoyed the food. Service: Quick service. I got my food in about 10 mins from the time Iordered. They accommodated my request and made a meat dish to a vegetarian friendly dish. Parking: They have reserved parkingin an underground structure.

Price, value, quality is not quite right. Chips were greasy, however the homemade salsas were very good, the mole and potato... taco lacked flavor. No bar service during Happy Hour and the one waitress was just okay. Maybe just a bad day, but I leftdisappointed aside from the Frozé. Read more

Amazing staff for finding my lost wallet. Food was 3 stars but could have been better. Servers were amazing. Horchata was good.... The highlight of our lunch was the toasted crickets on the oyster. Delish!! Read more

Authentic AF This is definitely not your typical Americanized, Mexican food. The chili sauces here are complex, balanced, and... straight from the heart of Mexico. Just know if your getting food here, most of the chili sauces here contain chocolate, andindegionous spices. For some, it might be an acquired taste. For me, it was delicious. Service was as outstanding as the foodwas! Read more

I’ve had this place bookmarked for awhile so decided to visit for a girls night. 4 of us ordered the molcajete, a quesadilla,... and the chips and guacamole. Also got a horchata which was really different from horchatas that I’ve ever tried before, reallythick and beany which sounds weird but it was yummy. The guacamole was really good, it was creamy and delicious and chips werereally crunchy. I’ve never had molcajete, so I didn’t really know what to expect, but it looks really impressive! All themeats in there are well seasoned, only complaint about that is there isn’t enough tortillas given to eat with the meat, o alsoit’s kinda hard to eat. Overall the food was pretty good but the service was very lacking. Our server was not very nice, alsowhen the Bill came out later he charged us $60 for the molcajete when it said $45 on the menu, they told us it’s $60 on thepaper menu… but they never gave us a paper menu, so I think that was a little shady. Overall even though the atmosphere wasnice as well as the food I don’t think I would not visit again. Read more

Great, genuinely authentic Oaxacan food! Very delicious and generous portions. Homemade, handmade tortillas!

Great ambiance, they have mariachi on the weekends which is really nice. Service was good, waitresses are friendly and... attentive. I love the mezcal & tequila flights they have on the menu. They have such a cute bar setting. A little pricey Read more
