“If you LOVE rock, especially Spanish rock and you better roll up to this place. Cover charge is $5 on Saturdays. The only downside of this place is that it's small so it can get kinda packed at times. I would still recommend you try it out at least once.“

“My husband and I went there tonight, for Valentine's Day. We had the Steak/Salmon special. This ribeye was the BEST steak I've had in my life. So tender and so tasty!!! The salmon was wonderful, so delicious! I totally recommend their food. Yes, their prices are high, but you're getting the best food possible. And, really, on a special occasion, it's worth it to enjoy delicious food and great service!! Thank you, Verdugos, for a great Valentine's dinner!! We pray you are the most successful restaurant in Downey!“

“lemme tell ya 'bout Kelly's Tavern. Shiiiit, them drinks was cold, that Bloody Mary was fire, and dem bartenders? Lawd have mercy, they was fine as hell.
I went in for a lil' somethin' somethin', and lemme tell ya, I almost forgot why I came in the first place. I was too busy watchin' them mix dem drinks. It was like a magic show, but instead of rabbits, they were pullin' out these incredible cocktails.
Let's just say I left there feelin' good, both inside and out.“

Environment was lively with games played on multiple screens. Clean, bright and welcoming. Owners are always hospitable and fun to interact with. Go here, but save a table for me :)“

“Chips and Guac were great. The new Don Julio Margarita was way over iced. I went with Cheyanne's suggestion (our gracious waitress) and ordered the Tripple Trio with the burger sliders, southwest egg rolls and the honey crispers. I took one bite of each thing and it all was just ok. My friend on the other hand loved her Long Island ice tea. She ordered the Ancho Salmon with broccoli and ate every bite of it.“

“I recently visited Tempo Cantina in Downey and had a generally positive experience. The restaurant itself is small, with old tables and chairs that give it a somewhat rustic feel. While the ambiance is cozy and inviting, the decor could use an update.

The drinks were good, but not particularly memorable. The cocktails were well-made, but lacked a wow factor. The food was similarly decent, but not outstanding. There were some highlights, but overall, it felt like the dishes could benefit from a bit more refinement.

Despite these criticisms, Tempo Cantina has a certain charm that's hard to deny.

Overall, I'd recommend Tempo Cantina to those looking for a casual, laid-back spot with a good atmosphere. While there's room for improvement, the restaurant's charm and potential make it worth a visit.
