DIOSA Downey offers an enjoyable dining experience with attentive service and a lively atmosphere. The staff is friendly and willing to customize menus and make special recommendations. The menu features dishes like the Caesar salad, steak empanadas, carnita tacos, guacamole, shrimp Alfredo enchiladas, and protein bowls. Happy hour includes drinks such as watermelon mocktails, paletas, and the Gemini margarita, which are popular and delicious. Visitors especially enjoy the chips and salsa, which is unique and tastes like it was fire roasted. The chicken taquitos are flavorful and moist, served with a Serrano dipping chutney-like salsa, while the enchiladas suizas are cheesy and fresh, with tasty chicken and a hint of salsa verde or tomatillos. The Al mojo de ajo is highly recommended for its citrusy, garlicky flavor, creamy texture, and grilled crusty bread, making it a standout dish. The restaurant is suitable for celebrations, with staff going above and beyond to make special occasions memorable, sometimes serving champagne and ice cream for birthdays. The place looks like a temple, fitting its name Diosa, with a vibe that feels like a Goodest Palace. While service is generally good, some reviews note that food can be a little slow to come out and that there could always be someone at the front desk to greet guests. Overall, Diosa Downey is a lively spot with great food and drinks that many find worth the wait.
