Beyond excited to have Mariachi Los Criollos back for Cinco de Mayo this coming Monday, May 5! You probably heard them in Bruno Mars’ bolero-inspired single “Risk It All,” released in February of this year (if you haven’t heard it, stop what you’re doing and open Spotify now! 🎻🎺). Founded in 2007 in the heart of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mariachi Los Criollos migrated to Los Angeles in 2018 with a singular mission: to elevate the tradition of Mariachi to the global stage.

What people say
Vegetarian and vegan restaurants have become increasingly popular in recent years, and Gracias Madre on Westcliff Drive in Newport Beach is a prime example of why. This Mexican-inspired eatery offers a unique dining experience that caters to those who follow plant-based diets. The restaurant's rustic ambiance is both sophisticated and inviting, with whitewashed brick walls, high ceilings, and exposed beams that create an open and airy feel. The patio area is equally impressive, with built-in heaters for cooler weather and mature olive trees providing shade.
But what really sets Gracias Madre apart is the food. The Oaxaca Bowl is a must-try dish that combines flavorful ingredients like black beans, quinoa, avocado, and salsa verde to create a deliciously satisfying meal. And if you're looking for something to wash it down with, the cocktail menu features creative concoctions that are sure to please any palate.
Gracias Madre also offers special events throughout the year, such as their extended brunch during Memorial Day weekend or their Drag Brunch during Pride Month. These events add an extra layer of fun to an already enjoyable dining experience.
Overall, Gracias Madre is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for vegetarian or vegan options in Newport Beach. With its beautiful ambiance and delicious food, it's no wonder this restaurant has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
