They had a nice menu and my wife and I decided we would come back soon to try some of their breakfast options. It is a small space so it wouldn’t be able to accommodate a large group but if it’s just you and a significant other you may enjoy a tasita de café de olla and some of their churros or other fresh baked goods. Give it a try for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

“Good honest American Chinese food. I ordered the mushroom chicken, sweet and pungent shrimp, wonton soup, and fried cream cheese wontons. I enjoyed the dense fried batter used on the sweet and pungent shrimp. The sauce was light and not overly sweet. I enjoyed the dark mushrooms in the mushroom chicken. The sauce did not over power the vegetables, nor was it over salty. The wonton soup was incredible. The filling in the wontons provides additional flavor with a hint of caraway or anise. The broth was lite and not briny. Probably the best Chinese restaurant in Downey.”

Luv what you serve (it's Great) ... I would just like to add that Lemon ? not only is it good but it also cuts the taste of the frying oil from one food item to the next, when there is no Lemon all the food starts tasting the same and the frying oil can be a bit overwhelming.

Albert's Mexican Food 7347 Imperial Hwy., Downey Mexican • $

“1st time here - recommended by a coworker, I went for the carne asada super nachos - guacamole, sour cream, beans, cheese and salsa on the side - and let. Me. Tell. You! This was awesome! Tasty, meat was soft and not hard OR salty (believe me, some asada is just ... ?), and this is a huge portion. See picture lol - but yes, delish and enough to feed 3 people. Or 2 very hungry people. ? I also got a hibiscus drink (agua de jamaica) and pretty good, a little on the sweet side but not terribly so. In all, highly recommend as well!”

DIOSA Downey 8432 Firestone Blvd, Downey New Mexican Cuisine • $$$$

“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.”

“Here’s a refined version of your description:

Tucked away as a true hidden gem, this cozy spot serves family-style Chinese food at unbeatable prices. The warm and inviting atmosphere, paired with exceptional customer service, makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. We opted for the family meals, which allow you to customize your order based on group size, with flexible options for each dish. You can even adjust the spice level or swap ingredients, like we did by changing one chow mein to a veggie version instead of beef.

Every detail was carefully attended to, from the food’s delivery to the impeccable service, and most importantly, the taste. The dishes were savory, fresh, and comforting—approved 100% by my mom, who already can't wait to return! And let me tell you, the wonton soup was simply perfect, bursting with flavor in every bite. The ambiance suits both large groups and solo diners, and you get to pick your seating when you walk in. Whether you're sharing a feast with family or ordering a single plate for yourself, this spot will leave you wanting more.”

Maria's Grill 13232 Woodruff Ave, Downey Mexican • $

“This place is a hole in the wall with a small bar and a few booths. I missed it as I was trying to navigate with Google. It doesn't have a super clear sign but it's worth going. My dad and I came here after seeing that our normal place was packed. So worth it! The salsa was amazing. They give you homemade tortilla chips with that salsa and it's bomb! We ordered the molecaje and queso fundido. Also amazing. They had the dodger game on and it was a bit noisy but overall a fun time with great food. I can't wait to go back!”

“This review is long overdue. I have been living in Downey for the majority of my life and I always pass by the plaza where this shop is located but I only found out about it through someone. Best bagels & coffee in town. They are always working hard! I’d rather support this small business than a franchise. I love the dalgona & viatnemese iced coffee & I also love how they added specialty donuts. The nutella strawberry is my favorite.try the lox bagel when you can !! It surprised me.Also they recently added a kiosk to place your own order which I think is an excellent & efficient addition because it does get packed sometimes. Won’t stop coming here!”

“Ecuamex is one superb cafe out here in SELA, Downey to be exact. This coffee shop is the perfect alternative to try to a good cup of coffee that doesn't come from a franchise. Their drinks are always made with the best quality and thinking of their customers. I love all of their drinks; their staple, Ecuamex is a must and my fave, Topochico cold brew is a perfect refresher. Here, in the picture you have a Cafe de Olla which is the perfect introduction to this Cafe.”

“We love this self serve boba spot! Every flavor is usually working, they have sample cups to try out flavors. Their toppings bar is always clean and full. The boba is nicely cooked and just the right chewiness. We love the combos for the food and being able to pick a rice dish with the fried pork chops for a combo price is nice for a quick lunch with boba tea. Cashiers are always friendly and work quick to have your food out. Only a handful of tables so not much seating. Lots of parking. Their tea is a good brew and not bitter.”

“The food was excellent! The portions were large and the drinks were amazing but our bartender/order taker/server/host/and everything else was a wonderful man named Raul! I believe his last name was Trepes? I hope that’s close? Anyway, this man practically ran the place because of a staff shortage! He provided everything we needed quickly, was extremely polite and he has a great sense of humor! I hope corporate realizes what a great job this man is doing and pays him well!!!”

I had the dulce de leche first and it was amazing and the freddo expresso transported me back to Greece. Not everone gets it on point. I had to go back for more after my lunch and I got a little creative and created my own and was glad to see that someone else was there to assist the young girl out.”
