“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!“

Vegetarian options: They have the options to provide a vegan meal as long as you order specifically what you want them to add to your order and im sure if you tell them you are vegan, they will make sure to attend to your accommodations.

Parking: There is parking in back by the Barber Shop or 2hr parking in front. Plenty of time to eat.

Kid-friendliness: They got kids menu“

“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“

“Always a good time at Roxanne’s!!“

“muy bien, lo recomiendo es buena. sólo que hay una que me atendió se puso un poco prepotente pero salió bien“

“Wow, the pupusas are to die for!!! Have had them from several places even from family members, but these are soooo good and nice big portion.
2 thumbs up on the food, but place does need a little bit more maintenance. Was there about 12pm sat at a table to wait for my to go order and the table was sticky. Also customer service lacks a little bit of joy in their attitude. Seems like they are tired, it was only mid-day.“

“This is one of the best Taqueria‘s. I’ve ever tried there. Carne Asada burrito his hands down amazing especially with the red sauce on the side and some lemon to squeeze on. It’s absolutely delicious. This is the second time I’ve gone last time I went here was a year ago and I keep coming back every time I’m in the area. This place is way underrated.“

“fast and friendly service with a smile, food is delicious and a lot of food for the price I paid it was a wonderful experience“

“I just came by after my dental appointment to check it out because it looked so cute inside. I ordered the detoxing juice and I wasn’t sure if I would like it but oh my goodness, the first sip was a long one because it was so good! I Wish I would have gotten the bigger size! I’m so glad me and my friend decided to just buy and try it! I definitely will be coming here again and trying out more of their menu. The owner was also very friendly! It’s a little hot inside tho! Wish I could have posted my drink too but it’s all gone now!“

“Buena comida buenos precios hasta las 11 pm en Bell Gardens“

“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.“

“We had the hots for broiled chicken and it was very good, it wasn't dry, it didn't feel like the chicken had been sitting in shelf waiting for a customer to ask for chicken to have your chicken to be quickly served, the seasoning was very light while at the same time it was juicy, the one full chicken was served on a big plate served with French fries, a lettuce salad for $46 (maybe the two sparkling waters elevated the total price this high) the price itself is a downer for us not to go back. It was good, yet not a to die for finger licking type of full flavor chicken for that price.

The atmosphere was the best, we happened to arrive at a karaoke time, and since I lived in the Karaoke Capital of the world, which is Japan, I can tell you that this place is a gem when it comes to Karaoke for Spanish-speaking mature people that enjoy the 70's probably stretching all the way to the 90's romantic broken heart ballads and songs that have to do with, so if this is what you are into, you won't be disappointed, they have the best sound system and everyone was enjoying the good talented amateur singers.

They have good parking, the restrooms are clean, the staff was very cordial, amicable and with very good positive attitude, if you come to eat during Karaoke hours expect a very loud music that feels nice if the music described above is the type of music that stimulates tu corazoncito o lo que aún le queda de corazón destrozado, a mí, me encantó, quizá deba ser que mi corazón parece parrilla de asador de esos que se utilizan para asar a las brasas.“

“This is a local small business with great food. Service is what you would expect from a mom and pop spot. When I grabbed a Coke out of the fridge it was super dirty but I was ok switching it for a less dirty one and cleaning it out so I could drink it. Tacos de marlin were absolutely fantastic. I’d definitely come back to try other items. Price is great considering today’s economy. I ate in so they gave me chips and salsa at no cost.“

“Visiting from Texas.... and this is a MUST GET every time we come to Cali... I love the Bean and Rice frappe with extra shot espresso and no chocolate 😋 The Orchata ice latte is delicious too... wish we had this coffee shop in conroe texas!“

“Demasiado deliciosos los buñuelos, la limonada de Coco, uno de los lugares para sentirnos cerca a nuestro país; su ambiente familiar, la música 🎶🇨🇴“

“Restaurant doesn’t have any bells or whistles, simple hole in the wall but the menudo was delicious! Both my husband and I ordered it and it was HOT, a hint of spice and flavors well balanced. No idea about everything else but we’ll definitely come back.“

“la mejor atención al cliente, la comida excelente y las medidas de seguridad sanitaria que están practicando... Genial“
