"A South Bay spot highlighted for moles and mezcal cocktails, blending Mexican regional sauces with agave-forward beverage programs." - Eater Staff
"With locations in Torrance, Culver City, West Hollywood, and Santa Carita, you’re never too far from Madre. This Oaxacan restaurant serves everything from mole to pozole in a casual room with a huge mezcal collection. While we certainly support getting involved with a frozen tequila sunrise on a 90-degree day, the margarita with mezcal joven is our go-to order. The sweet and spicy notes from red chile liqueur and agave balance out the smokiness. $11 Cocktails; $10 House Mezcal; $9 House Tequila" - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park
"Madre is a fantastic Oaxacan restaurant that started in Torrance and recently opened a new location on Fairfax. The expansive menu features everything from mole bowls to pozole to chorizo memelas, plus fantastic cocktails to go. If you’re looking to feed the whole family, they also offer different meal kits and group packages. Available for takeout and delivery." - brant cox
"A welcome addition to its Raleigh neighborhood, positioned as a fun choice for a girls' night out or for grabbing cocktails and appetizers in a convivial setting." - Eater Staff
"This Oaxacan favorite is best known for its mole, but what’s a plate of mole Palenquero without mezcal? The Smokey Margarita is a favorite, with its charcoal-infused mezcal and homemade chili liqueur, as is the Chido Wey (nanche-infused mezcal, house tepache, honey, lemon, and spicy bitters for a kick). If the smoke of the Oaxacan spirit is too much, then the Froze, with tequila reposado, makes for a fruit-forward alternative." - Vox Creative
