Great experience! Beautiful location inside very nice vibe. Food was great and drinks were reasonably priced.
I've been to Diosas a dozen times and have always enjoyed the experience, but today was truly disappointing. We made a reservation to celebrate our daughter's 27th birthday -- I even noted it on the website -- yet not once did anyone acknowledge the occasion. No candle, no "Happy Birthday," nothing. For a place we've supported so many times, that lack of effort really stung. When we arrived, we were made to wait for our table even though all the tables were clearly ready and set. Then, instead of being seated at a booth, we were given a regular table. When I asked about moving, I was told booths are only for first-come, first-served guests -- which felt dismissive, especially since we had a reservation for a special occasion. When my daughter ordered an horchata, our waitress, Estaphany, casually said, "I think we're out. If we are, it'll take 30 minutes -- do you want to wait?" There was no effort to offer alternatives or check right away. As she was collecting our menus, she pulled them from under my knife, causing it to fall onto my pants and leave a stain. To make matters worse, my daughter's carne asada taco order came out wrong. She had clearly requested no cheese and no beans, yet it arrived with both. We had to send it back. Our bill was $300 -- and for that amount, you would think we'd be able to enjoy our lunch and have a special, memorable experience. We've been here when it's busy and have never had the kind of poor service we experienced today. What made it worse is that no one ever apologized or made any effort to make things right or make us feel better about the situation. For a place that's usually been reliable and enjoyable, this birthday celebration was a letdown from start to finish. Diosas really missed the mark today.
Food was delicious but the pricing here is definitely overpriced. We had a group of 7 and we definitely didn't mind paying the 20% gratuity but once we split the check for payment we didn't realized they still charged 20% from all three tabs making it 60% gratuity for a table of 7 for a total payment of 398.00
Overpriced for the quality of the food. It's a place established for the pure aesthetic. Won't be returning.
The ambiance was AMAZING! The service was exceptional from the time from beginning to end! I enjoyed my birthday dinner, thank you!
We celebrated a birthday. They were so prompt with our food and drinks and everything was on point. They also gave the birthday girl a yummy dessert
The food and drinks are great!! Service is not bad either, the food is just a little slow to come out. But outside of that, this place is definitely worth the time.

My friend and I were skeptical because the location doesn’t feel high end when you first arrive. To our surprise it was quite lovely after entering the establishment. We initially went to the bar it was a Sunday so it’s “happy hour all day” we got our drinks 1 lime and 1 mango margarita both were very delicious and HUGE!
We decided at that point to get a table the gentleman at the host station was very accommodating and sat us very quickly.
Food: We shared everything because it was our first time and we’re a little greedy haa we started with the chicken taquitos the chicken was very flavorful and moist it came with this Serrano dipping chutney like salsa (so good)
The chips a salsa (A MUST) the salsa is so unique it tasted like it was fire roasted idk I’m not a chef haa just get it!
We also got the enchiladas suizas it was nice, cheesy, and the chicken was delicious you could taste the freshness of what I’m assuming was tomatillos or maybe salsa verde idk but once again get it! Haa
Our lovely servers name was Linda… she was very polite she checked on us regularly and also gave us time to just chit chat and didn’t rush us… I asked about the Al mojo de ajo… she highly recommended it… when I tell you it was scrumptious I said “listen Linda”, listen to me (she got scared and thought I didn’t like it haa) it was the opposite the flavors slightly citrusy, lots of garlic there was a creamy texture to the sauce, some pickled onions or radish idk and to top it off some grilled crusty buttery bread.. I was in heaven and in love haaa I asked her to please tell the chef he did his thing…
Needless to say we enjoyed our meal and we will be back!!!
Only thing I’d recommend is that there be someone always at the front desk to greet people upon arrival (maybe because it was a Sunday) but I witnessed several parties come in and no one was there to say hi.. 👋 (minor detail)
Yum all around! I definitely recommend! 💙

loved everything about this restaurant, went for my daughters 21st bday, our waiter marcos was amazing! definitely coming back!
This was our first time at Diosa Downey and it was pretty good. We went in a Wednesday night and the place wasn't too full so the staff was pretty attentive. The good was delicious, we were very happy with the food. Hope to visit again, soon!!!

Priscilla is the absolute best waitress ever!!! Friendly, professional, fun, funny, kindhearted, genuine, and provided the best recommendation. Her thoughtfulness allowed my Bestie to have one of the best birthday lunches to date. Hats off to the person smart enough to hire her! 💯🥳🥳🥳🥳

This place is stunning! The drinks are amazing! Last night was my first time ever here. We were greatly greeted at the entrance but everything took a turn when our waiter came to great us. He treated us with no warmth. There was not “welcome” it was more like “what do you want” type of vibe.. what I ordered was beyond salty and I literally woke up in the middle of the night to throw up. The drinks were delicious. Over all, if the service and food would’ve been as amazing as the drinks and vibe, I easily would’ve gave this place a 5 star review.

Loved my experience at DOISA! The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented. The drink was unique and refreshing, and the service was excellent from start to finish. On top of that, the elegant décor and aesthetics made the atmosphere feel really special. Definitely worth a visit!
Best service ever 💯

Let’s start out by saying my first drink I ordered had a fruit fly, and after I let bartender know, she made it seem like it was OK, “oh its just a fruit fly” like if it’s normal. She did exchange it. Food was chewy and disgusting! Place is cute and the vibe is okay
