Featured in magazines, newspapers, television media, and other reviews. Madre's has gained much notoriety since its opening in April 2002. Madre's has been featured in many publications such as Style Magazine, L.A., People, Esquire, and Travel Magazines. In addition, Madre's has not only been recognized as the best new restaurant in the Pasadena Weekly, the best celebrity owned restaurant with City Search, and the best Latin cuisine by Sky Radio, but, in 2003, it was awarded one of the Hottest 75 Tables in the World by Conde Nast Traveler.

The uniqueness about Madre's is that it is a family-owned and operated business in addition to having everything carefully chosen and decided on by Ms. Lopez herself. Madre's has become the venue for exposing and embracing her heritage, and a way in which to share a bit of herself and her passion.
