Madres Brunch — Restaurant in Corona

I was excited to try this spot out because I’ve seen it so much on social media. Luckily there was no wait time for us so we were seated immediately. But then we were told twice by both employees that they’d be right over to take our drink orders… we waited maybe 5 minutes or so with both waitresses just walking around and never stopping back at our table again. We didn’t even get waters in the meantime. Just felt like we were being ignored or forgotten. The food was not that impressive either. My husband ordered a side of hash browns and the orange chicken chilaquiles. Less than subpar on both. The hash browns were mushy and too powdery from the amount of seasoning that was put on it. My food was probably the best. I ordered the chilaquiles rojo and my husband and I preferred to eat that over everything else. Overall, I wish the service was better especially considering that they were not that busy. There were maybe 4 other tables in the restaurant so I feel as though the waitresses could have been more attentive. And I will also say, for the price point, my expectations for the food were a lot higher and I’m sad that it didn’t even come close to...

Coming from San Diego, I approached this restaurant with the expectations of a city known for its bold, innovative flavors but I was pleasantly willing to adjust my expectations for Corona. I stopped by while waiting for my car wash next door.

Atmosphere: Very Instagram appealing definitely designed to look good on your feed.

Service: Staff were mostly friendly, though my waiter’s attempt at flirting at the end was awkward.

Menu: The menu is diverse, offering the typical brunch staples with plenty of drink options to choose from.

Presentation: Plates are very Instagram worthy, with a clear focus on visual appeal.

Taste: This is where my experience fell a bit short and it drops two stars. The chilaquiles, which came highly recommended by the waiter, lacked depth of flavor. The green sauce was bland, and the dish overall left me wanting more. I added the birria on the side, but the meat was dry and under-seasoned.

Overall, I probably wouldn’t make a special trip back here. That said, if I lived locally, I might be tempted to try...

Horchata latte You can tell the coffee and horchata was hand made. Authentic flavors, so tasty!!!

Mimosa Flight We got the monthly flight which came with watermelon, green apple, and cranberry. Nice balance of champagne and fruit flavor. The tajin rim added a nice spice

Chilaquiles rojos Thought red salsa would be spicy but tasted more like an enchilada sauce. Large size, didn’t finish but didn’t have any complaints could have come with abut more steak and an additional egg since there was a-bunch of chilaquiles.

Chilongo Green chilaquiles center wrapped with egg. Green sauce was similar to tomatillo sauce. We ordered avocado and sausage on the since which helped balance the meal out.

Overall vibe was great, nice customer service would definitely...
