“An Extraordinary Hidden Gem in Whittier!

I hosted my mother's 80th birthday celebration at this aesthetically, beautiful restaurant about three weeks ago, and let me tell you our guests are still raving about it! This place is truly a hidden gem in Whittier.

From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The Oaxaca-style food was outstanding, rich in flavor and beautifully presented. The dessert was a definite hit with everyone, and the ambiance was exactly what we had envisioned-warm, inviting, and perfect for such a special occasion.

Xotchil, one of the owners, was an absolute pleasure to work with-professional, extremely accommodating, and incredibly responsive to every question and request I had. Her team-Liz, Ines, and Raul-were equally amazing: friendly, attentive, and very professional throughout the entire event.

We were also grateful that the owners allowed us to bring in a Mariachi band, a Dueto band, and even a photo booth to make the night even more memorable. It was truly a magical and heartfelt evening, and I couldn't be more thankful for how everything came together.

This milestone celebration meant so much to our family, and choosing this venue was one of the best decisions I made. Thank you to the entire team for your excellent service and for helping create such a beautiful and unforgettable memory for my mother and all of us!“

“Ordered a bowl of albondigas and the chile colorado plate. Holy cow! Shouldve ordered one or the other. I cant breathe now. The soup was amazing. Came out perfect temperature. Veggies were right between soft and crunchy. Meatballs were perfect. Really good bowl of soup for sure. Chile colorado plate was great as well. Full of flavor and beef was very tender. Rice and beans were perfect addition to smear on the flour tortillas. Good music and good ambiance. Staff are very polite and professional. My iced tea never got even down to half a glass. Chips and salsa were also good. Salsa had a bite but not too much. Chips had just the right amount of salt. Awesome experience here. Im gonna ask to load next door every week. Lol“

“great food for us Puerto Rican“

“My husband and I just tried this place tonight and it’s so good! We ordered the revuelta, been and cheese, and plain cheese. They were all full of flavor. Would definitely come again.“

“I grabbed a Cubano today while meeting friends at Brewery X... this was a generous portion of sandwich with LOTS of tender, delicious pork. The pickles mixed with the mustard and flavors perfectly. I had to bring the second half home because it was so much in one half of the sammy! Thanks guys!“

“Delicious, juicy, chicken with exceptional service. I have never been so satisfied with a fast food chain. $35 easily feeds a family of 4 which is a hard deal to beat. My kids like the fried chicken better, but don't sleep on the roasted chicken because it is so flavorful.“

“Great food, service, drinks and ambiance.“

“We were here for the X-JAMM Elements of Sound event during NAMM 2019. I bought our tickets because of Devin Townsend, but we were both excited to see Larry Mitchell, OHM (guitar god Chris Poland) and Larry Mitchell perform live, as well. I had no idea what to expect from the venue itself; I bought tickets two days before the show and was super disappointed by our placement. We were in the front row, but sitting at stage right. I thought for sure I'd miss a lot because I am so vertically challenged. Turns out I had no reason to despair. Our seats were practically on stage. They set up a small row of seats where the pit would live (in another, non-seated venue). We had up-close views of all performers, and the audio was expertly mixed to allow us to experience the music in all its glory. We were shown to our seats right when we checked in, and instantly had one of the friendliest waitresses at our side, asking for our drink and/or food orders. We both asked for a Guinness and told her we might order food later (it's not food from the restaurant next door if you're curious; they only serve stadium-type items). She came back empty-handed, apologizing profusely that the bar was out of Guinness. We changed our orders, and let her know it was totally fine, but she was so sweet and I could tell she felt bad. She made it a point to check on us throughout the night (we did end up sharing an order of $8 nachos to go with our $8 beers; at least she hooked us up on the cheese sauce), making sure not to bother us while a performance was actually happening. Now that I know that this place exists, I'll keep an eye on their events calendar. I liked how easy it was to get there, and how friendly the staff was. I just know to plan to eat dinner ahead of time, to save money.“

“Best food casera in town! Yo lo recomiendo. Y seguire viniendo.“

“One of the best tamales I ever had.“

“Saltenas were great and returning solely for them. Seemed like a family owned restaurant with nice decoration. The main meals felt a little bland, but I am not familiar with Bolivian cuisine.

We ordered, got out water and food and never saw waitress again - did seem like a quiet time of Daya and would not be surprised if they helped out in kitchen.“

“This is a hidden gem definitely one of the most affordable taco places and very delicious foood too. I definitely recommend they open early as well which is great. 10/10 I will definitely be coming here form now they also have a special for everyday of the week days mon-Friday which of course Tuesday is taco Tuesday and tacos are just 99 cents. The works are very nice and helpful! Great customer service“

“hand made tortillas for tacos really delicious“

“Service is top notch. The gave me a real fork, a real knife, a real plate, and then, brought it to my table. I wasn’t expecting all that from a fast food place. Then the chicken and the yucca was exceptionally good. This place was awesome for any price but for what they charge, they’re definitely the best out here“

“Very great service, Alfredo the manager is one of a kind. Congratulations to the whole team!!!! 😃😃😃“
