    carne Asada Fries
    Stephanie C.

    this the bomb, like the carne asada is marinated and seasoned and the fries are loaded up with sauce. fresh smooth and citrusy guac. pico. HELLA meat like meat for every bite and it had me picking out every piece hell yeah im definitely coming back here service was fast and friendly, she gave me two salsas and i was licking that up fr i also asked for beans on the side which was a good move bc i like them crispyyyy and yes they were crispy and light mmm but the beans were fire, some pinto beans on the side hella generous with it, normally $17 would be a lil pricey for carne asada fries but hella worth the quality here very clean inside and youll be SUPER lucky if u go catch this wonderful jazz band playing in the beer garden (here on sunday evening) def check it out

    Located within the Whittier Brewing House hall lots of seating inside with some pinball machines. This spot is located in the back corner near the restaurants. Don't let the location fool you, this place was SO good! The food came out quick, and the cashier let us switch out our loaded fries with al pastor The meal was very fulfilling, agua Fresca veryyyy refreshing, and the salsa was SO good!! If you've read my other reviews you know how much I'm a spice lover. This hot sauce is really good and doesn't lose flavor with the kick. Flavor 8/10 spice 8/10

    Finding vegan restaurants can be a challenge, so I was thrilled to discover this spot. Everything on the menu is plant-based, and the food was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor. The 'meat' alternatives were incredibly tender, and the variety offered was much appreciated. It's located inside Whittier Brewery, with street parking and a nearby metered parking lot available. Service was fast. They share the space with other vendors, noise levels high.

    Thanks to Yelp we found this place!. We got the 4 taco combo with 4 different"meats" and Carne Asada big burrito. Absolutely delicious and so flavorful. Don't let the vegan name fool you. It's better and more flavorful than the real deal. Located in the Whittier Brewing Company Building. Very reminiscent of Manhattan city. Cafeteria style place plenty of seating. Great to come for lunch or dinner for a date or casual meet up. Samantha was super helpful and so kind. I highly recommend checking it out!

    They really didn't care about presentation of the food. This is how it looked when I got it.

    I have tried all their food including all the proteins. I would say that they have a Good size torta. Cons: Pricing is over the top. I would rank it as the 2nd best Mexican vegan food in SoCal. 3rd best Vegan Mexican food spot in California.

    The food here is always fresh and delicious! Fresh pressed tortillas. Full flavored vegan protein options. Generous serving of guacamole with each order. Salsa is phenomenal! The staff is welcoming and friendly. The brewery is living and busy on the weekend. Must try even if you aren't vegan.

    Vegan burrito and nachos

    Yes yes yes!!! Finally good vegan food that satisfies my cravings I highly recommend giving this place a try even if you're not vegan. My non-vegan partner devoured that burrito. I loved their Al pastor meat and carne. I almost accused them of giving me real meat because of how good it was!! 10/10 will be back again and again.

    I remember being reluctant to try since it was vegan and now I'm a fan. The food is always filling and nothing has disappointed me. 10/10 on the burritos.

    THE BEST MEXCIAN FOOD IVE EVER HAD VEGAN OR NOT! Sam took my order, she was so kind and sweet. The list of proteins to choose from is vast, the flavors are insane. I tried their extra spicy salsa, if you can handle it, it's soooooooooo good. I'm already craving MORE! Ughhh I can't wait to come back!!!!!

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.

However we were going either way because it was also our featured DJ's birthday. We made reservations but that was difficult too as we called for several days until someone actually answered the phone. I was a little surprised because the food we ordered were all pretty tasty, decent portions, and reasonably priced. The service was ok. Orders took a little time to arrive, but they made sure we had chips and salsa and with a full crowd and a limited number of wait staff, they made sure we were still being attended too. It is very loud here with a full restaurant of diners, the live DJ and football games going with loud cheering fans, so if you have sensitive hearing, bring some ear plugs.

Even though the restaurant is small and busy, we were seated right away, which was a great start. Our waiter Washington, was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made our whole experience even better. The atmosphere was perfect too. They had music playing at just the right volume and a big TV showing the live Dodger game, which the kids loved. We started with chips and salsa. The salsa had the perfect level of spice for everyone at the table. The kids ordered horchatas and were excited about the unlimited refills (something you don't always see at other restaurants!). The drinks for the adults were just as impressive. My wife's watermelon margarita on the rocks was perfectly made. It was not overly sweet or syrupy like at some places. Our friends had the "El Jefe" margaritas, and they definitely didn't skimp on the tequila! For dinner, everything was a hit. The kids loved their meals. Albóndigas soup, shrimp tacos, and street tacos--all served with rice and beans. The adult dishes were just as good. The carne asada arrachera was cooked perfectly, the chile verde was full of flavor, and my chicken mole was delicious with a great balance of spicy and sweet without being overwhelming. The portions were very generous, and everything came with rice, beans, and both corn and flour tortillas. The only small thing I would've preferred differently was the chicken in my mole. I personally would've liked a leg and thigh instead of sliced chicken breast but the dish was still very good overall. What really stood out was the hospitality. At the end of the meal, Washington offered us "holy water"-house tequila shots on the house--and it wasn't cheap tequila either! Then after the bill came, he surprised us again with another round of "holy water". That level of generosity and care really impressed us. We also learned that the restaurant has been there 20+ years and is family-run by him and his siblings, which made the experience feel even more personal. You can tell they have a loyal customer base--one couple even said, "See you tomorrow Washington!" The only feedback we'd offer (coming from a customer service background) is that we noticed a few guests waiting at the entrance without being greeted, and one couple actually left the restaurant. A simple "Welcome, we'll be right with you" would go a long way. That said, it didn't take away from our experience. Overall, amazing food, great service, generous portions, and a welcoming family atmosphere. We will definitely be back to try more of their menu!

    I went on a taco run yesterday to try to find the best taco in Whittier…read more Started off the run with a keto taco mixed with asada and al pastor and then a regular tripa taco. Keto taco - toasted/grilled cheese instead of a regular tortilla - needed to be done a little more on one side as the cheese wasn't quite toasty enough to stay in place to slightly resemble the shape of a taco. Bit hard to eat, covered my hands in grease. Asada tastes almost boiled, and this being my 2nd or 3rd time getting the Asada here, it consistently tastes like it was boiled and not grilled. Unsure of meat quality or preparation, but there are no grill marks and it's a bit chewy. Same with the al pastor. Tripa taco was bizarre. Strips of flat skin instead of the usual roundish, cylindrical shape of tripa (intestine). Usually a saltier, fattier meat than asada, which is my preference but the one here was lacking in flavor and the texture threw me off a bit. Tripa can be chewy - unless requested extra done, which is how I normally order it - but there was no saving this tripa. I think it needs to be sliced differently, the cuts made it inedible. Brother shared some of his chorizo taco and it was the better of the bunch. Red chorizo, TJ style, although it was also lacking a teeny bit in flavor... onions and cilantro to the rescue! Still, mediocre. Salsas were ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't think the tortillas were homemade. Service was fine, cashier takes your order, dude at the counter was chill and had a friendly attitude. Seating was limited. Mostly bar style seating but the majority was in front of a window and it had so much heat trapped from the glass that it was kind of uncomfortable. Other seats are too close to the bathroom. Good for a quick bite or just pick-up orders. Wouldn't plan a sit down/dine-in visit. Parking is scarce and has really small spots, wouldn't come if you're driving a pick-up truck or anything like that. Food was reasonably priced, which is good, however; the food was lacking so I would not return.
