“Sometimes good, sometimes not so good depending on the cook. First time was excellent, second time we barely had any meat in our burritos. Please be consistent with your portions. Overall it's pretty good and I'd recommend it.”
“As entreprenuers we travel the world and the unknown and get to have great experiences with people. Today we visited World Famous Grill in Downey and Hassan was the perfect gentleman. He helped us with a Kabob Combo Plate with hummus, rice salad and pita bread along with their famous Western Burger which was monstrous and delicious. Our daughter was also able to order chicken nuggets and fries as well. We appreciate these small businesses opposed to all the BIG corporations who usually say no to us asking for food. Thank you again World Famous Grill.”

“It's a hidden gem! I would 100 percent recommend this place to any sea food lover. They specialize in Sinaloense style seafood. The servers and chefs are very friendly. The ambience is nice, they have screens with popular Mexican music videos. My bf and I have tried most of their dishes. This is what we have tried and recommend; Tuna Fit Aguachile de camarón Platillo J Ceviche de camarón Coctel de camarón y pulpo Comadre Empanada de camarón Camarones zarandeados Taco chile mar y Tierra and also the taco chile de camarón Ensalada con camarones roca Albóndigas de camarón”

There are no stairs to heaven in this case.”

“This place is absolutely wonderful. This place gives wonderful food and wonderful atmosphere. I see some reviews on here that don’t make any sense. To rate this place less than 5 stars in absurd. Whoever writes a bad review about this place is a complete fool. I love Oink and Gobble!!!”
“Awsome place to get some cookies. They have different flavors every week which is something I always loveParking: Easy access to parking. Just drive up and get curbside pick up which is super cool . Really recommend if you are trying to get some copies”
“If crowds aren't your thing, you may want to try online to go. It is crowded. And rightfully so bc the food is wonderful. Potato balls and the Cubano sandwich are favs. But you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Park in the structure behind Porto's.”
“I ordered the meatloaf dinner with carrot bread, he ordered pork roast entree and for dessert we had the Apple custard with vanilla ice cream. Great comfort food and recommend this place. Enjoy!”
“Came at 8am, Google said they were open and they definitely were not!Life does happen I'll have to come back and give them a try, thank you for caring to respond, hope all is ok ?”

“First time going to pops Cafe, you must go very early to get a table or the wait can be up to an hr. The place is very small but comfortable. Food is decent for the price, except the coffee is overpriced and the children breakfast too. A small cup of coffee $3.50 and children breakfast $7.95, the portion was small, the juice tiny.I had the vegetarian omelette which I forgot to let them know no black olives and was full of it. Also the American cheese on top didn't gave a good presentation. I would rather had pepper jack or provolone cheese melted, but that's my preference. The pancakes I believe were the best, big and tasty, but if you order other than plain butter pancakes you get charged an extra $2.00 (did not disclosed at time of ordering). Would I go back? Yes but I would ask as many questions possible before ordering and would only go with adults, as is not convenient for a family of 4 (2 adults 2children) to go there because is more expensive ($74) than Denny's. Customer service was great.”

“Without a doubt I loved it, the rice, the beans, the birria taco with cheese, uff delicious and the lady who served was very friendly, the only bad thing is that I live far away, and I will not be able to enjoy such good food again.”

“Let me start with how clean this restaurant is, spotless! No wonder the food is so good, they take pride!We both had the Chili Verde burrito (wet), fries , chips and salsa. Everything was fresh and delicious. ( I think they make their own chips)The service was super quick and friendly. We'll definitely be back.”

“I’ve always seen this place lived literally like a few blocks from here and always wondered about how good this place is. First time coming here and have to say the chips and salsa fire. I order two pupusas one with cheese and beans and the other cheese and jalapeños fire. I order the regular size pupusas they are big. Recommend this place for a chill dinner.”
“The sandwich and pistachio cold foam latte is pretty pricy. About $26. Tuna is pretty good, and seasoned well. I wish avocado was free, I would have liked some, but I’m already paying over $16 for the sandwich. I just really like this place because of the many charging outlets. There are about two per booth table. They also have Wi-Fi as well. Pop music in the background and they usually have a slideshow of rotating menu items on TV’s.”
“I'm going from San Fernando ca. Up to Downey for lunch. Will it be good? I recommend it 100 percent, just one detail if you can. Natural, ask for a disposable cup, I do not recommend glass ”

“When you want to eat something filling, fresh and tasty, this is your place! The gyros are so tasty, I've had both the lamb and chicken. Both are meaty and fresh tasting. You can taste all the ingredients. The fries are so good, and they stay crispy. Highly recommend a side of the potatoes. They are so good! Everything I've had has been great. The plates are great to share too. If you are really hungry I recommend the Zeus Fries. They are enough for multiple people. Give this place a try and you'll be hooked!Parking: Plenty of parking in the back”

“OMG!! Nancy rocked it!! Literally.. you know, it's nice to get off of work and come to a hidden gem like this one.. This saloon is a must! The service is top notch. A bar that cannot go under.. I must say, I've seen many bars and restaurants go under and a lot of investment goes into it.. but u know what, some of these places that ppl think are underrated are actually quite the perfect spot. Happy hour is the on point and local beers on draft are more than perfect. Thanks again Nancy for delivering top tier service to a this very scrupulous, high maintenance everyday blue collar worker. You rocked it girl and I'm so proud of you. It's places like this is is why i choose to frequent these type of establishments. Thank you kindly.”

“Been coming here for yrs and they never disappoint. I always come here for my fried fish fix. Nesha was a gracious and patient server, letting me know the types of drinks and specials available.”
“Food was great and the staff was amazing. The food took about 10-15 minutes to come out and the woman that took our order offered us an extra drink for the wait. I didn’t think the wait was that long to begin with, but I can see why they have so many great reviews already. They go the extra mile!Vegetarian options: All vegan menu.”
“Excellent customer service! The food was delicious I got the garlic fries and asada tacos. The kitchen was playing their music low key louder than the restaurant music so that was annoying. My lady friend enjoyed her pastrami fries and Mexican corn in a cup.”
“Parking: Hay bastante estacionamiento.Kid-friendliness: Tiene el museo donde hay información acerca de la franquicia.Wheelchair accessibility: Si tiene estacionamiento y rampas para sillas de rueda.”

“I lived here in this city for 17 years and came across Verdugos. The whole experience was amazing from the time we came in to meeting Mr.. Verdugos himself came to our table and spoke with us making sure we were ok. The Steak is to die for tender juicy. The chicken salad was amazing. The bread and sauce they serve you was so tasty. The cheesecake OMG. I could go on how good everything was. I will be back. Highly recommended for any event you won't be disappointed. Everything is alcart... Its worth every penny.”
“Love coming here. The service is always great. We always seem to get Pepe but he’s so nice and attentive so we don’t mind. The drinks are really good too both the alcoholic and nonalcoholic ones. My husband says their pina agua Fresca is the best he’s ever had. Plus they have vegan options that’s why we go, their vegan ceviche is chefs kiss! Plus they complimentary chips and salsa are amazing as well. I would definitely buy that salsa to always have at home.”

“It was my first time visiting, One of the best clean and welcome Olive Garden restaurants I had visited. The service received from my waiter Jesus was excellent but the whole staff was constantly greeting us, asking if we were well served, the manager approached as well. Everyone was so polite and i really feel like bringing my family back to this location”
“Sizzling Thai is our favorite Thai food. My husband and I have been eating here for over 20 years. When we 1st started coming here we were young and would share noodles. Now we share the same flavor and tastes with our kids. ?”

“I’m a Marine Corps veteran. Hadn’t been is this place for about 6 years. From what I understand it’s under new management. Went with a fellow Marine veteran. Food wasn’t at good as before, neither was the menu. But our waitress Marisol was awesome. She made our night.”
“I can't get enough of these corn dogs! I've become addictive to them recently. Especially the potatoes mozzarella one. The service is great, friendly, and quick. I highly recommend giving it a try.”
“Good honest American Chinese food. I ordered the mushroom chicken, sweet and pungent shrimp, wonton soup, and fried cream cheese wontons. I enjoyed the dense fried batter used on the sweet and pungent shrimp. The sauce was light and not overly sweet. I enjoyed the dark mushrooms in the mushroom chicken. The sauce did not over power the vegetables, nor was it over salty. The wonton soup was incredible. The filling in the wontons provides additional flavor with a hint of caraway or anise. The broth was lite and not briny. Probably the best Chinese restaurant in Downey.”
“We really liked their carne asada tacos. Good amount of meat on the tortilla. Doesn't disappoint. Salsa is fire. Really good. People are nice and friendly. Totally recommend.”
“First time discovering fonda maria and the place was honestly great, iced Cafe de olla was delicious and I paired my drink with tacos de birria + service was very friendly and the prices are pretty fair compared to other mexican joints in the area and it was a comforting meal after a long shift, will def be coming back :”
“Came here on a Friday PRIDE night. Got the tacos - shrimp and asada. TO DIE FOR! So much flavor and the toppings were so fresh. Excellent customer service and very attentive. I am huge on cleanliness, the bathroom were tended to very frequently. Thank You Baja's Grill for such a great time!”
“One of my favorite restaurants, i love it. They play music but you can still enjoy a conversation with your companion. I like all the workers. Nice place to est good food.”

Kyoto Sushi
“Always enjoy going to Kyoto, but especially this location. Our entire family came to celebrate a birthday and it's great that this location has long tables to accommodate around 11 people. The restaurant is clean and well kept. The staff is very friendly and helpful too. It wasn't a busy night when we went , so our orders came out quite quickly. We ordered the Spider Rolls, Yellow tail sushi, calamari, Tonkatsu ramen and bell peppers that are on their appetizer list. Everything we ordered was tasty and fresh. Will definitely come back again.”
“This place is AMAZING. The customer service is exceptional and the food is GREAT. Their California Rolls are some of the best California Rolls I've ever had and I catch myself coming back here consistently for 20 or even 40 pieces. Their Beef Teriyaki Plate is amazing as well, tons of meat and tons of rice for a good price.”

“You can't never go wrong with Norms its always a great place to go dine in and have some good breakfast or Lunch or even a late night craving, The waiters and host very friendly and service is always an A+ they are super fast and hardly a wait about 15 mins or less its always my go to every Sunday when I can would recommend always :)”
“Had my car smog done here as I do every year. They helped me bcuz we moved & didn't get my registration in the mail. Got my new tags the same day thanks to their help. They are the best !!”
“The day shift with the white manager is way better than the evenings when he's gone. They screwed up my order again. And what's up with the lack of sugar/cinnamon on the churros.Only going to this Del Taco during the day.”
“Not sure about atmosphere as i went through drive-thru. If you order the ultimate cheeseburgers make sure you tell them to go easy on the ketchup as i hate the fact that it seems they go a bit overboard on it. You cant enjoy the burger when theres ketchup getting on your face and litterally pouring out of the burger after every bite.”
“Like the service have no complaints buttt the play are have took my son twice and honestly if your kid can't stand a toddler being loud or trying to play with them take them to the park...most of the kids are way too big to be there and have ugly attitude's...”
“I love the customer service at this location! My food is always fresh and hot ! The restaurant is always clean and welcoming. I go here frequently and my food is always on point ! Carmen has amazing customer service! The sweet tea and fries is my go to menu item here ❤️”

“Staff was overwhelmed, but still managed to get orders out. The restaurant was 7 out of 10 for cleanness. Atmosphere is a 4 due to some shady customers in the restaurant at the time.”
“Stopped by with my friends for dinner. They sat us quickly, and we were able to watch the game as we waited for our order to be taken. Service was quick and friendly. We ordered the Al Pastor Pizza, The Alfredo Pizza, and the Downey Special. It was delicious and super cheesy! Will be coming back again.Parking: Plenty of parking is available in front of the location in their own private lot. Parking is free.”

“Toyitos is a jewel in the city of Downey. Best Rotisserie Chicken around. I love Chicken with fries and Salchipapas( sliced hotdogs and fries). The chicken has special peruvian flavor and peruvian sauces. Don’t forget the ice cream Lucuma flavor, and the peruvian soda Inka ”
“The sandwich and pistachio cold foam latte is pretty pricy. About $26. Tuna is pretty good, and seasoned well. I wish avocado was free, I would have liked some, but I’m already paying over $16 for the sandwich. I just really like this place because of the many charging outlets.

“Gelato Amore Mio offers exceptional service and desserts at great prices. Their homemade ice cream and gelato are must-tries. The crêpe with strawberries, mango, whipped cream, Nutella, Lechera, and coconut gelato was my favorite. Highly recommended for a top-notch dessert experience!”
“This is truly a hidden gem. The biónicos here are amazing. We visit at-least once a week and we are always greeted with a warm welcome and a smile. We visit with my 3 year old daughter and they always acknowledge her and give her their undivided attention. The food is great and the ambiance is nice and cozy. I recommend everyone try this place.”
“If you are tired of most Chinese fusion fast food cooked in heavy thickener and corn syrup sauces, Hong Kong Chef is for you. I ordered the chicken chop suey. It was loaded with chicken and big vegetable chunks. It was more chicken than suey. It is cooked in a broth. No artificial thickeners are added. The orange chicken is not over fried and the syrup was not super sweet or sour. Actually, It has slightly acidic finish. Very flavorful. The Won-Ton soup broth is salted just right. I found the won-ton dumpling did not have sausage after taste ( I did not miss the sausage after taste). The noodles in the Lo-mein were a disappointment. They have a roasted oil fried taste. They don’t seem fresh, but it doesn’t have a bad after taste. The interior of the restaurant is utilitarian and typical of a Mom and Pop operation. I really like the Hong Kong Chef, but it will take a few more trips to see if I can come to love the place.”
“Stopped in on my way to work because I am a little fatty and I love my pan dulce. Plenty to choose from and the service is quick. Fast paced for the early morning rush. Seems like they have some seating if you are lucky enough to sit and enjoy.”
“As a first-time orderer at Fish & Chips, I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. I indulged in their fish, shrimp, chips, and fried zucchini, and every bite was a delightful surprise. The fish was so delectable that it shattered the notion of saving it solely for Lent Fridays—I happily devoured it on a Saturday, just to ensure its quality. And my goodness, was it worth it! While the current star rating stands at an impressive 4.6, I wholeheartedly believe it deserves a solid 5-star rating. Highly recommended for anyone craving a top-notch seafood feast!”
“This place is exactly what the description says, really fast and great food. The service was attentive, genuine and made sure my food came out speedy. A very cool story about the owner and a nice touch having that information in the restaurant. I will be back! Portion sizes are large for the plate too.”
“It had been a while since I've eaten at this restaurant. Food was delicious as always. Will try to come as often as possible. The server Brian has great customer service skills.”

“Been coming sense i was 15 years..im 20 and more years to come. Food and service is always good, the ambiance of this resturaunt is outstanding. I always get the number 17, Taco and a tamale with rice Nd beans. Can never go wrong, even tho prices have gone up..food has remained the same.”
“I brought the family for lunch to eat before going to the movies. I'd give 10 STARS if it was possible! Sublime experience all the way around. It was my wife's first time, but Steven was as patient and helpful as possible with our questions. We had regular Buffalo Wings, Dragon, Tai Chile and Jamaican Jerk. All 4 flavors were delicious. The dry rub on the Jamaican Jerk was perfect. Will definitely be back! The seasoned fries are the bomb!”
“For about 20 years Narai Thai has been, at least, a once a week tradition. When my daughters had their first communion we had their party here. I know every dish on the menu. You can not go wrong with anything you order. Very high standards. Congratulations!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“I grew up nearby and I have never been and now I regret not finding this place sooner!! I found this spot on Yelp. THANK YOU YELP!! It's soooooo good. We were looking for a restaurant that was sort of in the middle of us and friends in Whittier. And I am incredibly glad we find it. Their food is really good. The restaurant had tons of seating and I love the decor, and the staff is so nice! I ordered the lomo saltado, my husband ordered the aji de gallina and our friend ordered the chaufa marisco. We were all so happy with our meals!! And A+ for a kids menu! I cannot wait to go back the next time I am in town.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Came to the drive thru here and ordered 55 burgers, 55 fries, 55 tacos, 55 pies, 55 cokes, 100 tater tots, 100 pizzas, 100 tenders, 100 meatballs, 100 coffees, 55 wings, 55 shakes, 55 pancakes, 55 pastas, 55 peppers and 155 taters and the total was only $680.00.Overall, great value for the food. Even better if you can start a pay it forward chain and have somebody else cover it which I unfortunately was not able to do. The rich guy in front of me refused to pay for my order even though I told him HE HAD TO. The woman behind me then began ordering the exact same thing as me negating the purpose of the pay it forward line completely.”
“I visited this location today! And I was left feeling so touched and warm-hearted by the staff. Everyone was kind and attentive. The food was prepared quickly and they made sure everything was in the bag due to it being a takeout order. The place was clean and so organized. Not to be dramatic but it's one of the best habit locations I've visited thus far.”
“This BK is the best around the 562 hands down come check it out and find out for yourself, the food is really good and the people who work there are always very helpful.”
“I went through this drive through 45min before closing just on a whim when I was driving past and I'm very glad I did. The staff was VERY friendly I ordered a medium roast and it came out absolutely perfect! I've been having trouble with service and my drinks being wrong at starbucks, so it was really refreshing to have such a wonderful experience, even if I was just going through the drive through! I only wish I'd caught the name of the young lady at the window. Her customer service was excellent!”
“This location is always clean, and the staff is very helpful with a smile. They even give my dogs biscuits when I order through the drive thru. I preferred the seating before the remodel, but oh well.”
“Cleant eats! Felt like it used to be more popping pre pandemic but what can ya do. They got everything really, burgers ?, salads ? sandwiches ?, pastas ?Solid 7.5 -8 in my opinion. Ima stifler tho..get the chicken or salmon cibatta, hella good! Definitely a grub spot, check it out ”
“Update Jan 24: Just tried the small nachos and it was the worst nachos ever for $13, I should have just stuck with getting a burrito!Highly recommend getting a burrito, especially a breakfast burrito or a bean cheese with your choice of meat burrito. I'm a huge fan of California burritos but the CA burrito here isn't the best but it's not bad. The salsas green and red are amazing so get a few. The service here is not bad either though you can catch a few workers bored on their phones but they're friendly. Place seems clean for a very public open space and there's a drive thru. There are only a few spots to park and they can be blocked by cars waiting to place an order in the drive thru. I recommend parking perhaps on the street then just walking over to place an order either to dine in or takeout. I definitely recommend this place and I'm looking forward to trying everything on the menu, but the last time I was here, Dec 2023 there was a sign indicating they're moving locations soon. Don't know where yet. TBD I guess.Parking: There are a handful of spots which can be blocked by cars waiting at drive thruKid-friendliness: Yes kids would like it here if they like Mexican foodWheelchair accessibility: Yeah this place works with wheelchairs”
“The restaurant employees are patient and kind. This was my first time coming here and the gentleman was very helpful. The paramount area was clean. I ordered chicken and carne asada fries and it was delicious. I will be coming back to order something else!Parking: Alberto’s have free parking in their lot.”
“Warm welcoming , great customer service . Really love the team working today at 6:00pm. My daughter and I felt comfortable enough to ask about sandwiches we didn’t know about . Thanks guys!!”
“So my boy asked me to bring him some of that chicken, which I’ve never had so I thought I’ll stop by and check it out when I come in full of teenagers young people youngsters I could probably see at least 60 youngsters and 10 of us adults that place was packed a lot of goodbyes nice environment it looks like it’s very popular for teenagers. I tried the chicken and the dip and sauce the bread and coleslaw. I gotta say it’s pretty good I’ve never had it. Now I know it’s a good place to eat.”
“Besides milk tea, they also have tea/coffee by itself, and the standard add ons like honey boba. Has a drive-thru and offers some snacks like strawberry croissant. Parking lot is huge as they are located in a large mall. Jasmine Milk Tea at 75% was much too sweet for me, I'll definitely order 50% next time. Honey boba was delicious! At first it was a lil mushy, but once the drink sat in ice for a while, the Honey Boba firmed up and developed that amazingly bouncy texture that Taiwanese drinks are known for. Music is appropriately not too noticeable, great background music to work with. They have lots of outlets along the wall, 5-6 large tables, and one super long community table. I will totally be coming back again!”
“This place used to be one of those places that at first glance used to be like any other gimmicky potato selling place. It wasn't. The sweet potato fries with whatever you decided to sprinkle on them were delicious. The tots, wings and tenders were pretty good too.Today I visited one for the first time in a while. To my surprise and shock, they no longer have sweet potato as an option which I felt was the star of this whole food experience.I hope this is temporary and something that's up with this particular location. Had they had the sweet potato as an option for fries this place would definitely be a 5 star for me.”
“Drive thru ordered in dark night. It was an unhappy atmosphere.I had to ordered twice since 1st order didn't include my sandwich. I ordered two sandwiches in the 1st order but it seemed missing.”
“Meals are good and decent. But I'm really surprised with there coffee, one of the best I've ever had. Try another Taco Bell and same thing; found my new coffee spot. ☕️”
“First time at this particular location and I gotta say, I was impressed with the cleanliness, food quality and overall experience. Loved the dinning room design and layout, made us feel at home. They even have a communal fireplace and sitting area. Service was fast, employees were kind & Food was as expected coming from Wendy's. Would recommend coming in for lunch, they have a nice little Biggie Bag Deal that offers a burger, fries, 4ct nuggets and a drink for $6!! They do however need better sauces ?Kid-friendliness: Live their kid friendly meals but need better drink options for kids like flavored water or sugar-free juice boxes”
“The place was packed it was great to see so many people having a good time I thoroughly enjoyed myselfKid-friendliness: Kids were able to be themselves playing in the game room”
“After my boyfriend took me here the first time, I am now officially obsessed with this place and I want him to take me back every time I get the craving for Mediterranean food ? I've only gotten the chicken kabob wraps (twice) but they're sooooo good. The pita bread is warm and soft, the chicken is tender and flavorful, and the potato chips they come with are spiced in the best way and sometimes crispy, sometimes soft (tbh I like my potatoes both ways so I'm not complaining). There's an outdoor dining area that kinda has romantic vibes and it's really nice to sit outside on a pretty day. The staff have always been nice so far and the service is reasonably fast, plus bonus points bc they have a restroom. I can almost guarantee that your hands will be a saucy mess when you're done with your food (well, at least if you get the wraps ?), so it's great that you can wash your hands! Love this place ?”
“I love the molcajete at this place and their handmade tortillas. The only bad thing is that for takeout they charge you an extra charge for packing your molcajete with the rice and beans separately. It's absurd because that dish is not served all together and for takeout. It should be the same without any extra charge in the head, it is possible to deliver a molcajete to take away in a single container, everything mixed apart that they use a small plate where all the sauce is in the bag and all the guacamole mixed with everything, Mr. Manager, be careful, the customers deserve the same quality both in the restaurant and for takeaway, they charge us the same, their dishes must be served in the same way without abusing the customer”

“So this place really blew away my expectations. I had read the reviews and knew that they made killer coffee. Once I got here I didn't realize just how quaint the place is. Absolutely adorable within a co-op space. Delicious coffee and incredible baked goods!I will 100% be back whenever I'm in the area shopping at my plant nursery!”
“A hidden gem. Have family that is lactose intolerant and their non-dairy boba teas are delicious. Their service is great. The times I've been the employees have been friendly.”
“Been coming to this bakery since the 2000's, still do and love the cakes here every time!I highly recommend the tres leches pasteles, churros and the chocoflan. It's quality is always the best, decorations are beautiful and the flavor is perfect!Hoping to visit here again soon this year for future birthday events ♡”
“A small, hole in the wall with excellent homemade food (what I was looking for), great tasting food, huge portions. I had the Santa Fe Omelette with Potatoes O'Brien and Pancakes ?It's small, but don't pass it by.”
“Easy, fast and delicious! Servers are really friendly and willing to answer any questions you might have. This place is very clean, but does not have seating available. It's a small establishment so I recommend you order ahead of time, but if not, you can anticipate to wait 5-10 minutes. No complaints!”
“This is a great little spot!! The service was fast and friendly which I greatly appreciated plus the shop was very clean. My açaí bowl was beautiful presented which is always a great part of the experience. I did find that the serving of acai was a little small for the price,and I wasn't completely blown away by the flavor but overall, I think you will really enjoy grabbing a bowl if you are in the area. I would rate it a 4.5 if it was possible.”
“I personally enjoyed it. It's more of a local spot. More laid back. It's more of an older crowd maybe ages 30-50.There's no food just beverages. It gets busy but the bartender was great and getting the drinks out quick!”
“Buddy's Bday, they brought out their very special bday celebration, beans with cheese and 2 chips inside, it was epic. We were drunk and had a great time, good food, good atmosphere, TV's, the server knew what time it wasn They serve Tall cans of beer, so lfg! Def be ”
“Best Pupusas I've ever had so far. I ordered the Plato Tipico Sample, which had a variety of different items to try (pastelito, platano, etc). Would recommend this option for first timers who are unsure of what specific item to tryShoutout to the kind waitress who gave me the recommendation and forgave my shoddy attempt at practicing my Spanish. Highly recommend!”
“Really nice bar many drinks to choose from friendly bartenders variety of beers and decent price love the music sports and atmosphere over all will be coming back ”
“This is such a a great little gem. The artwork and overall vibe of this place is amazing!! Prices are reasonable and the service was great!! Very friendly people and knowledgeable about the food. The food is amazing! Everything has such great flavor! My favorite is chilaquilas and these were phenomenal. Will definitely come back.”
“This place was really good the only thing the service was slow and the kitchen was sloppy. Their was a burger patty on the floor and they didn’t pick it up. Also there was lettuce all over the floor. Good food just sloppy kitchen.”
“Great spot for boba. We tried the milk tea and matcha both tasted great. I didn't like the squid balls a bit sweet. The fried rice was okay would not order that dish again. Garlic chicken needed more flavor. Friendly atmosphere.”
“I'm a old customer, been eating at this place for years, I can't recall how many years but the pizza here is incredibly delicious. I would've gave this place 5 stars but at my most recent visit, I started to notice that the pizzas were smaller and for the beef pizza with pepperoni, the beef changed from small pieces but more portions of it to marble shaped sizes but smaller portions. Now, they arent serving more of the toppings as before, which disappointed me and my family. I also got a Hawaiian pizza and also had fewer toppings. The pizza cutting skills arent the best but overall everything else is going fine. I'm waiting to see more toppings, but not the downfall of this business. (No pictures included, already ate the pizza)Parking: Pick up parking”
“Great little spot. Service was great ( they were very accommodating for my wife's allergies letting us look at the labels of done ingredients). Coffee was good, oatmeal was good and gluten/dairy free!”
“I love Starfish Sushi it is my go-to sushi spot. They have good service have never waited too long for my food and they have never given me any problems and have been kind and polite. They have really good food and I always try something new I love their burrito roll and their sukiyaki bowl can't wait to try takoyaki there for the first time and I find the atmosphere pleasing it's not too loud and I can enjoy food and time with my family. Only bummer for me was when the menu changed and sukiyaki was taken off the bento box but it pushed me to try new things.”
“I usually don't give a 5 start because most locations let you tough out out with the kiosk but I got to deal with a person, yay. The food is always good and fresh with wonderful ”
“Amazing food. Had the crunch roll and chicken teriyaki bowl and couldn't get enough of either. Ordered takeout so cannot speak for service but will definitely be returning!”

“It's not a high-end, expensive Italian restaurant but food, service over all experience was a good one. Beer from the tap tasted a bit funky, but ehh, it got the job done. Will definitely rather go here than Olive Garden.”
“Walked in on Jan 13, 2024 about 11:00am to a young blonde headed lady with a Bad Attitude. Her demeanor was not “Customer Service”Style.Ordered “The Classic” from her and she put in a the container so quickly I didn’t expect it to be tasty but they were after I heated up at home in my Air Fryer.”

“Great experience for coming for the first time. Great service and very friendly and of course very attentive. Chef Quail was awesome and cooked our delicious food. Will definitely come back for a great show.”
“Not sure how anyone can give this place less than 5 stars. Food was phenomenal (Tierra y mar), service was amazing, but the bananas foster… wow! Flying back home to Texas with a smile! Muchas gracias.”
“I love the atmosphere here. The servers are nice and friendly, service is great overall. I tried their mango tostada for breakfast ? which was delicious. I also had a mimosa flight ?. I went on a Saturday and they had a DJ playing. Highly recommend if you are in the area.”
“We stopped in for brunch and we were very pleased. When we got there three buffet didn't have variety. Most of the trays were empty but that's ok, what we had was delicious.I ordered the veggie omelette. Everything had so much flavor. My choice of drink was the agua fresca watermelon flavor. Refreshing!!!We sat outside and the vibe was fun. The music was really good. Our waiter was fun but it took him awhile to get back to us. My suggestion.... When you order your drinks, order your food at the same time. We placed our drink order and still needed time to look over the menu for the entree. He brought it drinks and was gone for quite she time. We weren't in a rush and the ambience was nice so...I Guess not a huge deal. ?We will be back, the food was very good.”
“I ordered the meatloaf dinner with carrot bread, he ordered pork roast entree and for dessert we had the Apple custard with vanilla ice cream. Great comfort food and recommend this place. Enjoy!”

“OMG - the food are amazing! It is NOT your typical taco restaurant. This is for the adventurous ones! I love it. The Tablita option is WOW!!! Head, cheeks, blood, etc...for the adventurous people! I love the head! I ordered the pork belly taco and it was literally a slap of pork belly for my one taco! Definitely recommend for anyone who loves food and unique food. The parking lot is big, but not enough to accommodate during lunch hours, so watch out for that.Parking: can be very crowded during lunch hours and everyone is vying for space”
“I love coming here because of the service. Sushi in the area is usually hard to find. Their quality and authenticity is admirable. The wait staff is very warm and doesn't rush you to order, like other places do. I only marked down on atmosphere because it's a hole in the wall that should be preserved this way. I don't need it upscaled to meet trendy vibes. You can't go wrong with any of their sashimi! Sorry no pictures, we ate it all up.”
“I come every week and Arline is the best. I ask for her to be my server everytime now. This place has good food but definately come for the best service and beer towers. They give you a cold mug everytime. If you try the food the ceviche and shrimp cocktail is the best. 10/10 experience if you ask for arline ”
“Everything is made to order. I tend to like mushrooms, grilled peppers and onions in my cheese steak. Try their Philly's Best Sandwich if you're down to try that combination.”

“I was looking for a freshly made cake for my granddaughters 3rd birthday. It was very last minute, but I found Marrisa’s Cakes in Downey. I walked in and noticed the nice cake models on display. I also was able to see a customer’s cake that had just been finished and it looked really nice! Most of all I had been treated with quick and wonderful service! I am hoping that the cake is as good as my experience!”

“Pretty nice place to grab a churro. I had the cinnamon sugar, and a strawberry tres leches, wasn't even expecting them to have cakes. The vibe of the place it's nice, the prices of the filled churros price it's kinda steep other than that, great ”
“Food was delish! We had the machaca burrito, birria burrito, birria sandwich (bolillo), a birria empanada, and two drinks - strawberry hibiscus and strawberry horchata.As far as the drinks, my fave was the strawberry hibiscus - not too sweet, not too bitter, just perfect. The strawberry horchata was too sweet and too cinnamony for me. My husband loved it tho. My teen loved the empanada - those are her fave. The burritos are very well made, not skimpy at all. My teen couldn't finish her birria sandwich (bolillo).We will be back!”
“This place is absolutely wonderful. This place gives wonderful food and wonderful atmosphere. I see some reviews on here that don’t make any sense. To rate this place less than 5 stars in absurd. Whoever writes a bad review about this place is a complete fool. I love Oink and Gobble!!!”
