Rooted in Mexico. Cooked on Madison Ave.

Made With Love
Tequila-Forward Cocktails
The bar program at Madres is as intentional as the kitchen — built around agave spirits, fresh citrus, and flavors that earn their place alongside the food.
The Story Behind Madres
The name honors the mothers and matriarchs whose kitchens are the soul of Mexican cooking. Angel Ortiz built this place around that idea.

Been here several times and the food is always amazing!!! Price is fantastic to match. If you haven't been or order take out you are missing out.
Alexandra Baker
A truly fun restaurant. Tasty food, delicious drinks, upbeat music, and friendly service made our night! We came to celebrate my birthday and the dancing skull head with a Tequila shot topped things off. Will return many times.
Melissa Patel
This place is a whole vibe! The service was great. Everyone was so friendly so welcoming so nice and so entertaining! There was a short wait, but very much worth it. There was so many things I wanted to try, but I ended up getting the chicken alamada and it was delicious.
