Our mission is to celebrate and serve the presence of the mother which resides above us, within our hearts, within the earth, and in all those who nurture us. We serve cuisine inspired by the kitchens of Mexico sourced from locally grown organic ingredients. Welcome to a seat at love’s table. The idea of Gracias Madre was first conceived while visiting the families of our employees in Mexico. We wanted to do both; offer organic Mexican food to the communities we serve as well as honor the mothers who work tirelessly in the kitchens of Mexico and often live without their husbands and children while they work side by side with us in California. Inspired by some of the recipes of these families and the love of their mothers, Gracias Madre serves organic, farm fresh, locally sourced food, full of flavor and love paired along side with our agave-based cocktail program spearheaded by Beverage Director Sean Stewart.

Hadn’t been back since Covid and it’s good to see that the high quality food and good service hasn’t changed. The fusilli with roasted tomato sauce and burrata, pollo ai fungi and minestrone were as good as ever😀

We sat at Table #7 (outside) Few outside tables were occupied. Service was not a problem. We met a longtime friend for lunch. No noise, so we were able to communicate easily. I ordered the frittata w/sausage - $25. Excellent dish and fairly priced. Ambiance is excellent. Looking forward to a return.

We had Alexa as a server and she went above and beyond! She was super sweet and answered any questions we had about the menu. From right when we got there, the host was super friendly and very professional, she was great! The table we got was right next to the fire place. This was a date night we had wanted to do for such a long time, Gracias Madre was incredible!! Thank you for such a lovely night!
