"Fun fact: Madre boasts the country’s largest private mezcal collection (yes, really) as well as consistently great Oaxacan food. This local mini-chain has several branches around the LA area, but we love the slower pace at the original location in Palms. Come here to forget about the joke you cracked at work that didn’t land with a mezcal flight and mole-drenched tamales. Madre’s folded tlayudas are a hit, too, glued together with melted quesillo and spicy chorizo." - sylvio martins, jess basser sanders, brant cox, arden shore
