“I love the molcajete at this place and their handmade tortillas. The only bad thing is that for takeout they charge you an extra charge for packing your molcajete with the rice and beans separately. It's absurd because that dish is not served all together and for takeout. It should be the same without any extra charge in the head, it is possible to deliver a molcajete to take away in a single container, everything mixed apart that they use a small plate where all the sauce is in the bag and all the guacamole mixed with everything, Mr. Manager, be careful, the customers deserve the same quality both in the restaurant and for takeaway, they charge us the same, their dishes must be served in the same way without abusing the customer”

“I visited this location today! And I was left feeling so touched and warm-hearted by the staff. Everyone was kind and attentive. The food was prepared quickly and they made sure everything was in the bag due to it being a takeout order. The place was clean and so organized. Not to be dramatic but it's one of the best habit locations I've visited thus far.”

Potato Corner 251 Stonewood St, Downey Fast Food • $

“This place used to be one of those places that at first glance used to be like any other gimmicky potato selling place. It wasn't. The sweet potato fries with whatever you decided to sprinkle on them were delicious. The tots, wings and tenders were pretty good too.Today I visited one for the first time in a while. To my surprise and shock, they no longer have sweet potato as an option which I felt was the star of this whole food experience.I hope this is temporary and something that's up with this particular location. Had they had the sweet potato as an option for fries this place would definitely be a 5 star for me.”

7 Leaves Cafe 8901 Apollo Way #4A, Downey Cafe • $

“Besides milk tea, they also have tea/coffee by itself, and the standard add ons like honey boba. Has a drive-thru and offers some snacks like strawberry croissant. Parking lot is huge as they are located in a large mall. Jasmine Milk Tea at 75% was much too sweet for me, I'll definitely order 50% next time. Honey boba was delicious! At first it was a lil mushy, but once the drink sat in ice for a while, the Honey Boba firmed up and developed that amazingly bouncy texture that Taiwanese drinks are known for. Music is appropriately not too noticeable, great background music to work with. They have lots of outlets along the wall, 5-6 large tables, and one super long community table. I will totally be coming back again!”

Would recommend coming in for lunch, they have a nice little Biggie Bag Deal that offers a burger, fries, 4ct nuggets and a drink for $6!! They do however need better sauces ?Kid-friendliness: Live their kid friendly meals but need better drink options for kids like flavored water or sugar-free juice boxes”

My husband and I try to encourage our kids to have confidence and order for themselves, my child (8) was so nervous. We went at a busy time and you could tell the management was stressed. However, Marcos greeted her with a happy energy and enthusiasm that she felt so confident after ordering. He also told her that he liked her pink shoes and that his girlfriend loved pink too! (Which made her feel so cool)! Great Job KFC!”

“We stopped in for brunch and we were very pleased. When we got there three buffet didn't have variety. Most of the trays were empty but that's ok, what we had was delicious.I ordered the veggie omelette. Everything had so much flavor. My choice of drink was the agua fresca watermelon flavor. Refreshing!!!We sat outside and the vibe was fun. The music was really good. Our waiter was fun but it took him awhile to get back to us. My suggestion.... When you order your drinks, order your food at the same time. We placed our drink order and still needed time to look over the menu for the entree. He brought it drinks and was gone for quite she time. We weren't in a rush and the ambience was nice so...I Guess not a huge deal. ?We will be back, the food was very good.”
