I heard a lot about this place and I decided to give it a shot on a Saturday night with my mom. I heard they have a football bar. They have delicious food and blah blah blah so here we go I decided to order a whiskey sour and a Paloma. My whiskey sour was made twice because the bartender forgot to ask me if I want the egg of course I want it. It's a part of that cocktail.. He brought me the cocktail again, but it was looking really weird and the taste was not really nice and smooth. He offered me to make it again and I'll say no at that point I was really super mega disappointed we had to order food and I decided to cancel it. Imagine the drinks were like that I cannot imagine how the food was gonna be parking situation is really good. You can find parking easy. The team of the establishment seem to be also very top of the game. They're really nice but the drinks are not. They really need a beverage director especially for the bar. What a sadness for my heart that this place has a full bar but not a great cocktails and come back maybe 3 to 6 months to see how they doing again and I'll probably update my review. read more

DIOSA Downey - 3/10 - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Downey, California

Overpriced and Overrated -- Fancy Ambience, Mid-Tier Food This place puts all its effort into pretending to be a high-end restaurant, but the only thing actually high-end here are the prices. The food lacks flavor--honestly, you can get a better, far more authentic meal at a local homemade spot for a fraction of the cost. To top it off, they don't even bother mentioning that the valet parking isn't complimentary until you're already paying for it. Between the hidden fees and the mediocre food, it's a complete rip-off. Save your money and eat somewhere that actually cares about quality over appearances. read more

Ambience, beautiful. Food delicious. Service exceptional. Parking great. They were able to accommodate our very large party. There was an issue with the food, but they immediately rectified it. The prices were reasonable. It's a little dark in a restaurant, but other than that it was a overall good experience. I would definitely recommend. read more

We came here to celebrate our 5 year anniversary and it ended up being such a special night for us! From the moment we walked in, the ambience was just what we wanted. Classy, cozy, the lighting was just right, and the music set such a calm, chill vibe. It felt like the perfect place to finally have a real date night again after having our second baby. Our server Jose was amazing. He explained everything so clearly, gave great recommendations, and was so attentive the entire time. I was extra thirsty and he kept my water full without me even having to ask, which I really appreciated. The drinks were great, we loved the house tequila, and the happy hour appetizers were so delicious. The street corn and tuna wraps were our favorites. Everything tasted fresh and the presentation was beautiful. What really made the night unforgettable was when they surprised us with a dessert for our anniversary. It came out with this beautiful smoky presentation and a sweet little sign. It was such a thoughtful touch and meant a lot to us. Overall, this place made our night feel so special. The food, the service, the atmosphere, everything was just amazing. Thank you to everyone at Diosa, and a special thank you to Jose for taking such great care of us! read more

Food- was great Service- Reception/check in front desk was ok. They can improve. They don't really smile. We asked one of the girl to take us a picture and seemed irritated. Food server was nice and pleasant both the waiter and the one who made our churros. Ambience- was great. The decor was amazing. read more

I really wanted to enjoy my experience at Diosa because the food was actually pretty good. Unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed the meal. When it came time to pay, our server, Victor, made splitting the bill unnecessarily confusing. There were three of us, and we had ordered happy hour items. He told us we couldn't simply pay for what each person ordered. Instead, he said we either had to split the bill evenly or assign custom dollar amounts to each card. We chose the second option and clearly wrote down exactly how much should be charged to each card. The next day, my friend discovered he had been charged $86 instead of $36, an extra $50 that should never have been charged. He called the restaurant as soon as they opened to get it resolved, but instead of helping, he was told the payment hadn't processed on their end even though it had already posted to his bank account. This was several days after our visit. Rather than correcting the mistake, they asked him to wait another day while they "looked into it" and said they would call him back. Mistakes happen, but what really disappointed us was how the situation was handled. There was little urgency, accountability, or effort to make things right, which left a very poor impression. The food was decent, but customer service is just as important as the meal. Because of this experience, I can't recommend and won't be returning. read more

The food was good. However, the prices are ridiculous for what you get in the way of courteous service. You get two waiters; one waiter was amazing, hence the 3 stars. The other waiter (a big guy with a beard), was a Diosa in his head. The attitude was something we could do without. It's not only a privilege for me to be there, but it should be as much a privilege for your business to have a customer- crazy how often this point is missed at restaurants. Please the guest, THAT'S IT! Nothing more important. The restaurant is trendy and vert well decorated with an outstanding bar. Too bad. Not returning just based on attitude. read more

My husband an I had a very pleasant experience, the drinks are not only very pretty they are also very tasty. Our server Prisela answered all our questions regarding our food, and everything was 10/10. We will definitely be back. read more

DIOSA Downey - Goddess Hour Margarita - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Downey, California

Came here for a friends birthday and it the ambiance was nice. I noticed it's like really fancy and almost came in regular clothes. The lady at the front was very kind and made sure we had a place to sit. The front area was spacious to where we can sit. Our waitress was such a sweetheart and made sure we were good. The food was alright. Overpriced but okay quality of food. The drinks were alright. Some of it did not taste good. Restroom was dirty. You think a place that charges a lot would have a clean restroom for their guests. In all...the service was probably the best out of everything. Also it was cute the had people selling roses and extra shots lol I will come during happy hour and try it again. read more

Visit them for an amazing experience!!! No regrets . read more

This establishment seems to be going downhill. The service, food and overall stock management need serious improvement. When we arrived, there were only two other occupied tables, yet service was still painfully slow. I really don't know what our server, Emily, was doing this whole time, she seemed to be aimlessly walking around. She doesn't seem to like her job. We weren't offered chips and salsa, and they were out of micheladas, apparently for several days, which reflects poor inventory management. There was also confusion with our drinks. We requested house water but were given bottled water. After pouring the bottled water into our cups, Emily then mixed it with house water, which was a strange way to resolve the mistake. I still don't understand why she didn't just leave it the way it was. To top it off, Emily left us the check then never came back around to pick up my credit card. I had to go to the front to check out. As I'm signing the receipt, for some unknown and odd reason, she felt the need to tell me that the side of rice and beans was actually $6 but she only charged me $3.50. When in actuality the happy hour menu clearly stated $3.50 for the side. The food was mediocre at best. I ordered the birria empanadas and received two medium-sized empanadas that were supposed to contain mushrooms, but mine had none. My wife ordered the chicken enchiladas. I would give these two dish a 6 out of 10. Overall, a disappointing experience made worse by our server. Wouldn't recommend or go back. read more

Came with a friend on a Saturday afternoon. The place wasn't packed but everyone was seated in the same area. We were greeted by our server and he introduced himself to us by name--I've eaten at many places where they just say "Hi, I'll be your server this evening". He explained both menus and the various options they had. My friend is vegan and she wanted to get the enchiladas. She told Christian she didn't want it with any meat, just veggies, which prompted him to ask if she had any dietary restrictions. He said he'd asked the chef if he could make substitutions and the chef did. Christian even came back to inform us that the sauce they normally use is a cream base (dairy) and brought out a vegan version for her to try. The attention to detail and care for the customer's preferences along with the taste and good portion of the food, is what made it a great experience! I'd come back at night to experience the fireplace that's at the center of the tables and to try other items on their menu. While the ambiance of the place is aesthetically pleasing, we didn't find the benches near the windows to be comfortable. You can't rest your back without feeling so far away from the table, forcing you to sit up and lean forward. read more

I had a great time at the bar with Danny. Service was excellent. Food was world class, (props to the chef, yes they have a real chef!) and ambience that you usually don't find in this area, if you haven't been, you must go. I recommend the Mar y Tierra (surf and turf) Plate! Bro read more

I went to this new location for happy hour and I was not disappointed. A Very upscale Mexican restaurant They had a nice variety of food items and drinks on their menu. Happy hour is from Saturday to Monday all day:) We tried various items from the menus and everything was flavorful, hot, fresh and with quality ingredients. We loved the margaritas and pina coladas.The decor is so beautiful and modern. Beautiful atmosphere. The chefs, waitresses, and hosts were phenomenal. They were very friendly, funny, kind, and very accommodating. Easy parking and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The bar area is large with high end furniture. I will try the brunch next time. read more

Terrible parking, poor and slow service, took 1.5 hours to get food, sat us in the sun and wouldn't change it. Expensive. Went for Mother's Day but chaotic, poorly organized, and poorly executed. Ambience is nice except for the table. read more

Food was amazing, I fell in love with the shrimp plate especially. Drinks were good as well and I loved the ambiance of the place. They treated me to a happy birthday little poster and ice cream. It was a very nice 1st time eating here. read more

I had made a reservation for 7:45pm for Valentine's Day in advance, and fully aware this was going to be an extremely busy evening. To start the evening, my date and I checked in and handed a buzzer and told there's a two hour dining limit. We were waiting for about 35 minutes at the bar and I asked about our table at the hostess desk, and she let me know she called my name. I didn't hear my name being called, nor did the buzzer go off, so that was already an interesting start. Then, the young hostess was basically running to the tables outside and was told by another staff member to slow down. The outside thankfully had heaters and the decor wasn't too bad, however, the music that was playing a personal speaker and also playing music off of someone's phone. The speaker was very loud and my date and I started to hear artists like Taylor Swift and the Black Eyes Peas play, which I notified the server the music was terribly loud and also not pleasant. The server said the manager won't change the music but can authorize the music to be turned down. Overall the server, staff, and food were thankfully good but the reservations should've been limited in order to have your guests have the best quality experience and not have it be so disorganized and an after thought. My date and I were dressed up and had to sit outside with individuals that were clearly not dressed appropriately and we felt like the entire experience was an afterthought. Our bill came and finally left around 11:30pm. read more

Food- large portions, very delicious and presentation is on point. Ordered The chips and sals they taste freshly made salsa could have been more spicy just blande. The chicken fajitas are very good and so is the chicken skewer. Drinks- presentation on the drinks is a 5 star. Everything comes out looking good and great taste as well. Parking- terrible here is where they lost a star. Signs are well posted. Can't tell between regular and valet. read more

I tried Diosa for my first time today and it was a delight. I was greeted by the host and was taken to my table immediately. Victor was my waiter and he was amazing. Very attentive and he was able to tell me about a couple great items on the menu and offered a green and red salsa that he thought I would like with my dish. For my Sunday morning brunch, I had mimosas and the shrimp enchiladas with rice and beans. My dish was delicious and full of flavors. On top of the delightful food, the ambiance was beautiful. The staff were so inviting and the customer service was a 10/10. Ps-Sundays have all day happy hour! read more

DIOSA Downey - Shrimp Camaron Taquitos - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Downey, California

Three stars only because the restroom smelled so bad. When we went into the restroom, the lights were off, so no one was in there before. It smelled like a sewer. It was really bad. We came for happy hour. Michelada was decent. $6 not bad. Nice variety. I wanted to try the queso fundido from the regular menu but it was $21 with chorizo The price point here is high and the food is okay. I saw $45 for aguachiles. I didn't try them but I hope they're good. I just don't think this restaurant fits the demographic of Downey. Maybe Beverly Hills. That's the vibe when you walk into this place. The service was good. They do add gratuity for a party of 5. Which is wild to me. read more

The decor is beautiful, very elegant.... however the food and drinks were overpriced. I had the Arrachera steak and too much was going on. Too much onion and bell peppers on top of it which took the steaks flavor away. It looked more like a fajita plate. Our waiter Victor, wasn't personable. We felt like we were bothering him if we asked for something .Will not be back! read more

This place is so good. Wow. I had been meaning to try this place and it did not disappoint! I had a dinner party for my 32nd birthday . I tried the margarita flight, octopus , Diablo shrimp and a Cesar salad. The ambience I was breath taking and the service was impressive. There is valet parking and regular parking in the lot. The place is very intimate and dimly lit. I can't wait to go to brunch there and happy hour. 100% would Recommend this establishment. read more
