Tu Madre- Westwood

We loved Tu Madre. We had reservations, but we made them incorrectly for the Santa Monica location instead of West Hollywood. They were able to assist us and seated us without much delay. The manager also took care of the Santa Monica reservation so they wouldn't charge us a no-show fee. We ordered a quesadilla appetizer for 2 of the kids to share, and a potato taquito appetizer for another. The 4 potato taquitos were actually 2 halves of a baked potato rolled in a tortilla and fried until crispy. It came with a delicious mild-medium spicy sauce. We also ordered tortilla chips and guacamole and a bowl of street corn with butter and elote seasoning. The corn was sweet and out of this world! I had a cauliflower rajas burrito with poblanos, corn, onion, crispy cheese, salsa roja, turmeric brown rice, mozzarella cheese, poblano ranch slaw in a spinach tortilla. It's also available in a flour tortilla. The menu called it a "Veggie-centric satisfaction that brings the heat and the sweet". The cauliflower was perfectly al dente and not mushy. I loved it and highly recommend it. My wife had the vegan banh mi bowl, described as 36-hour marinated tofu, crispy kale, pickled carrot, avocado, crispy onion, house ponzu 'Vegan Vietnamese-fusion that brings the crunch". She loved it. I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order at Tu Madre. I highly recommend it.

We had such a great time at Tu Madre in West Hollywood! The vibe is super fun and welcoming, and the food was incredible. I got the chicken bowl and it was packed with flavor — so good. We also tried the street tacos and loved them. Service was friendly and fast, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I’d go back to and recommend to anyone looking for a great meal in West Hollywood.

The food was good! Its fusion! So its not just mexican food! They use a lot of different spices and condiments. The place was super cute. It’s outside seating but its covered! And the service was amazing!

Food was amazing! Took my partner’s mom here for dinner and we all loved it. Great cocktails. The red velvet churros with whip cream were TO DIE FOR. They seemed a tad understaffed, took some time to get helped for more drinks and dessert.

Tu Madre in West Hollywood is a gem and one of those restaurants you cannot help but recommend to friends. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, with a lively energy that makes it perfect for a night out with friends or even a casual date. The tacos here are what set the place apart. These are not ordinary tacos. They are specialty street tacos with bold and creative flavors. Some of the favorites include the crispy fried chicken tacos with a spicy agave glaze and poblano ranch slaw, ahi tuna tacos with citrus ponzu and sesame accents, Korean BBQ tacos layered with kimchi and Fresno chili heat, and the unforgettable pastrami taco topped with fried egg, chipotle aioli, and queso panela. Each taco feels like its own adventure and the quality of the ingredients shines through in every bite. The cocktail program is just as strong as the food. Mezcal and tequila take center stage, but the bar team gets playful with unexpected combinations. Drinks like the spicy mezcal ginger pineapple cocktail or a creative twist on the classic Paloma with sparkling rosé are balanced, refreshing, and a perfect match to the food. A big part of what makes the place so special is the team. Don is truly the host with the most, making everyone feel welcome the moment they arrive. And do not mistake the person running around helping with tables for a busboy. That is Chef Domingo, who cares so much about the restaurant that when he is not in the kitchen he is out making sure every guest is taken care of. Two Madre has the kind of food, service, and energy that makes it a standout in West Hollywood. Delicious tacos, excellent cocktails, and an atmosphere that never fails to deliver. Highly recommend.

Tu Madre’s happy hour is seriously one of the best deals around! $10 margaritas? Yes, please. The chips and salsa are super fresh, the potato taquitos are next level, and the street tacos are the perfect size—and at around $1.50 each, how can you not?! Everything is flavorful, satisfying, and such a steal. Great vibes, great food, and an unbeatable happy hour. Run, don’t walk!

Had such a great time bringing a friend here who hadn’t been before, and Tu Madre definitely delivered! We ordered the shrimp tacos (so good!) and tried out the tequila flights, which made the whole experience extra fun. The vibe was lively without being overwhelming, and the service was excellent. A special thank you to Thelma for her warm hospitality—she really made us feel taken care of. Definitely recommend Tu Madre West Hollywood for a fun night out with delicious food and drinks!
