“TACOS NOT ON MENU!

Great non-Mexico tacos! But so good. Crispy! Their burritos are fried so a little different. These old-school taco places are nostalgic and need to stay around. Service is always fast and friendly with reasonable prices. They make their own hot sauce, so it's pretty good. Go if not just for nostalgia.“

“The food here reminds me of home, their chilaquiles were sooooo good, the are more true to Mexican style and their pancakes are omg to die for. The staff is so sweet, they try to make your experience feel like you are home this became easily one of my favorite places to have breakfast at in Whittier“

“Over all a nice experience. Sharon was welcoming and provided excellent service. She was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and delivered the food promptly. Additionally, she was very attentive, checking on us three times during our visit. We greatly appreciate Sharon’s service.“

“great drinks and food! nice fun and relaxing setting“

“Food was delicious! Pollo, Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Asada tacos (names of tacos are pronouns) were fantastic. If I had to rate one first place it would be the Carnitas, a very close second was the Al Pastor. The restaurant was busy and bustling, the staff were super friendly. 4 tacos, a 500ml Mexican coke with a large bottled water was about 17 bucks. Great prices. They do not accept cards, so make sure your ATM card is in working order. Mine is a bit old and it took me a few minutes to get it to work. Definitely want to go back here.“

“The food was delicious, but the service left a little to be desired. It took a long time to serve. They didn't bring everything at once. The chilaquiles are supposed to have eggs. I told the waitress, and it took a long time to bring them, when the rest of the food was cold. Also, the chiles toreados, which are supposed to go with the food. Why would I want that when I've finished my meal? It took them more than seven minutes to bring a beer. It would be great if they could see how they could speed up the service. Perhaps that's where I found the most flaws.“

“It's been a few months since we've been there. My husband doesn't care for it as much as I do. I told him let's please go and I would treat him. I was craving their beef hard shell tacos. They were closed because of July 4th holiday. Apparently, they stayed closed for a couple of days afterwards. He said that is why he feels that they don't stay open long enough for business. If you notice their hours. However, their food and atmosphere is amazing. As well as their service. One time, we ordered for pick up. They were so nice. They threw in extra chips and salsa. Needless to say, I was kinda disappointed that they were closed. Next chance I get, I'm going back. Vrfig“

“The best barbacoa!“

“I’m a huge critic with tacos. I was asked to go in with an open mind and their asada tacos did NOT disappoint!! Food came out quick, hot, and full of flavor. ZERO fat and loaded with meat. Worth the drive from La Verne! They have some new forever costumers!🤍🤍🤍 must try!!!“

“With every new Peruvian restaurant that I go to, I just have to try their Lomo Saltado since that's my barometer for Peruvian cuisines, and Bodegon No 69 very much delivers!

The Lomo Saltado is a classic, must-try staple in Peruvian cuisine. Cooked in a wok with soy sauce (there is a lot of Chinese influence in Peruvian cuisine due to the historical Silver trade between China and Spain within Peru), the best kinds of Lomo Saltado is bursting with flavor. The Beef here is thick and hearty, and the sauce is so delicious. The fries are also nice and crisp, too. There's a reason it's one of my favorite dishes and Bodegon serves it well!

To be fair, Bodegon is a bit pricier than majority of Peruvian restaurants that I've gone to, but it also offers a few items I have not seen elsewhere. Most notably, the Anticuchos or beef heart skewers. Heart is one of those meat choices that can be polarizing because of its tougher chewy texture (it is a muscle after all), but this Anticuchos grilled meat is just tender enough and the flavor is so good, especially with their Rocoto Sauce and Patata Brava (Peruvian-style fries potatoes). Only the corn feels forgettable. It's an adventurous dish that is rewarding to your taste buds!

On the other hand, the Tiradito a La Crema Ceviches is a bit underwhelming. It's thin-sliced Hamachi and the mild Aji Amarillo sauce is just a bit polite and mild-mannered. Maybe the other Ceviches are better here.

Lastly, you can't really have Peruvian cuisine without the proper Peruvian drinks, and I highly suggest the Inka Cola and if you fancy an alcoholic drink, the delicious Pisco Sour,which is the national cocktail consisting of pisco (grape brandy), lime juice, syrup, and egg white, with bitter sprinkled up top. It may be similar to a margarita, but it is just so much tastier!

All in all, Bodegon No 69 has some delicious, albeit pricier, but delicious Peruvian cuisine. Just skip the Traditional Ceviches. The staff is wonderful and so friendly and the interior is very cozy and warm.“

“Super buena me encanta tengo años consumiendo y no lo cambiaría por nada“

“this place never disappoints. the food is amazing and great service“

“I discovered this Guatemalan restaurant that by the way opened its doors a few months ago, when I was helping my sister pack for her move to another state, we came to eat a little late but we received a very pleasant surprise, the food is super tasty, the restaurant very clean and the attention is very friendly. The prices are very affordable and the portions are generous.
I have always traveled to Los Angeles for Guatemalan food but there is no longer a need since this restaurant promises. I hope the community gives them their support.“

“best chicken ever tender ,juicy crunchy! mmm!“

“My favorite brunch spot. I regularly drive here from Pico Rivera just to have their coffee lol. BEST cafe de olla I’ve had from a restaurant. Super friendly and attentive staff and amazing food. My favorite dish is their chilaquiles and adding chorizo, eggs and avocado. Sooo good. Parking is sometimes hard to find only bc this spot is so popular on weekends but there is street parking as well.“

“Great breakfast and service.👍👍“

“We rarely dine in, it is usually a take out. Saturday's or Sunday's, we highly recommend their Menudo or Weekday's their 7 Mares , it is delicious and pricing is not bad at all. However, be aware that if you take out then no tortillas will be included.“

“Great food and atmosphere“
