Madera, California: In the heart of the San Joaquin Valley


Most Loved Local Eateries
Madera, CA

Not many of these iconic Madera establishments are still around. Like most communities, Madera has been inundated by franchise and big corporate businesses, while the locally owned mom and pop shops have all but disappeared. For those of us who grew up in the 40's, 50's, 60's & 70's, these local favorites were the best. I'm sure to have left out a few good ones. Suggest them in the comments, and I'll add them to the list.
