“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!“

“Service was friendly and attentive, The pupusas were made fresh to order which added to the yummy nom nom flavor 🤤 Dining in let's you hear the fresh pupusas being made, my mouth was watering as we waited. We will come back for more soon! The bean and cheese pupusas were my favorite.

The kids menu was fair, my toddler had a great time and ate more than half of his food: it's a win win.“

“when we want a tasty meal, we come here. always delicious“

“Great food! Friendly service!“

“Amazing dinner at The Green Chile. Shredded beef & green chile melt, Southwest Enchilada and a Cherry Sopapilla with vanilla ice cream! This dessert just shot to the top of my all time desserts list!“

“Best Tacos ever!!! This family owned business has catered many of my families events, and they offer the best tasting, highest quality food. Tacos Y Chile offers a very wide variety of food options. Fun, fast, and friendly- the owner's make sure the presentation is always welcoming and inviting. They are quick to clean up and so reliable, dont go any where else for ANY of your catering needs, EVER!!“

“The atmosphere was astonishing I was mesmerized as I tried to catch ever beautifully decorated chandelier and pieces of art Mosaic, especially the ginormous faux melting candle. Just as you catch from the side of your eyes it a cart wheeling private bar tender inquiring on if you would like a margarita! We ordered a $75.00 plate of filet mignon, shrimp, and scallops; I was disappointed for that price they give one shrimp a d two scallops? Steak was the bomb dot com though.“

“Fish tacos are AMAZING!
The Lengua was boiled or over cooked for me.
Great food, homie feel inside, service is VERY Good.

Parking: I usually park in the liquor store parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Very clean.
Lots of seating.
Salsa bar.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's a slim doorway but worth the amazing food.“

“1st time going and it was definitely a great experience. Best Chili rellenos I've had in a very long time.it wasn't soggy like most places. Tacos were also very good.thank yous much .the reason for 3 stars on atmosphere is because of the cleanliness of the woman's restroom..“

“I loved it so much!!!

I recently took my wife back to her hometown in La Puente, and we stopped at Snap E Taco in nearby Covina. The food was excellent — flavorful, fresh, and made with care. The portions were generous, and everything tasted just like authentic home-style Mexican food should.

The service was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere had that classic local charm that makes you feel right at home. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why small, family-run spots often beat the big chains.

If you’re in town and craving Mexican food, Snap E Taco is definitely worth the stop. We’ll be back next time we’re in town!“
