The service was not what I expected. The food was brought out separately and appetizer was supposed to be first and it came out at the end.

Everything about this restaurant is top notch! From the decor, service, and food you can't go wrong. Happy to have found this gem in Downey

Beautiful restaurant but the food was not good at all. Would not recommend save your money and go somewhere else.

You're really just going there for the décor. Pulpo smelled old n really fishy, they forgot to bring my mole but the carnitas were good. The tiradito was good. Drinks were soooo not consistent. I get it! They are just trying to get it together. My bill was $600 for 4 people. I wanted to love it SOO bad, just didn't work out. read more

We went to DIOSA for the friends and family night the day before it was set to open. The food and drinks we actually really good. We order the Tomahawk steak, one of the better I've had at restaurants. Worth the price and I highly recommend. The service was fast and efficient, ordered a Pineapple Serrano Margarita, not on the menu, and was impressed. We ordered a few since they were so good. Aesthetic is upscale, dress up not down. read more

Decided to try this place for myself after I asked a family member what they thought of the place and they said it was overpriced for the food not being good. When I arrived I had a reservation at 9:15 and ended up being sat at around 10:05. My reservation was for indoor because it was cold outside and we ended up being sat at those tables that are "indoor" but are actually more in the outside patio. When we requested to be sat at another table the host told us we had to be put at the bottom of the waiting list because they're fully booked until I told them that I'm not waiting another hour since I had already waited AFTER having a reservation. She finally sat us at another table with a nasty attitude. The food was not that good. We ordered the pollo con mole, pollo Al pastor, empanadas, and the Serrano mashed potatoes which were truly awful. They tasted like bland mashed potatoes with a small flavor of Serrano peppers and the green rice that was served with the other dishes was also pretty bad, it tasted like microwaveable rice. The only thing that was worth the price was the drinks, especially the espresso martini. If you're looking to overspend on some mediocre food this is definitely a good spot to do that. read more

DIOSA - Pollo con mole - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Downey, California

Outstanding food, the ambiance, and service. We had Josue as our waiter he was amazing. This place makes you feel like you are in an upscale Beverly Hilla restaurant with a twist of that Mexico vibe. The music had a great vibe and all the servers are great, sweet, welcoming, and friendly. Will definitely be back. Food is top Mexican cuisine. A must if you are in Downey. read more

We were expecting a better service, my husband and I came on a Wednesday night for some drinks. We waited 45 minutes and our drinks and appetizer never arrived. We have been to finer and busier places and have never experience a service like this one. read more

We tried Diosa on opening day, it is a beautiful restaurant. The staff was very attentive and the entrees we tried were delicious and well presented, coco risotto salmon, enchiladas poblanas and octopus zarandeado. I hope they will be offering a happy hour at their gorgeous bar. Welcome to Downey! read more

Beautiful and food is great, everyone was so nice, the drinks are good also and have a good presentation

Ivan and Melisa provided one the best service I have experienced. I'm myself work in the the industry, I'm a bartender myself. They made my experience unique, I highly recommend for you to come to this Restaurant. You be the judge for yourself, you won't regreted. I guarantee you. The vibe is unique read more

Good food and great service by Rogelio! We enjoyed the flight of Diosa margaritas and appetizers!

I just want to start off by saying that for a restaurant that advertises itself on being high end. It was insane the amount of time it took for the host to seat us, and on top of that there was no parking what's so ever! Everyone was doing laps around the parking lot to find parking. Unbelievable. Then we get inside and it takes a server 10min to come the table and offer us water. It was just to of us I find that a little absurd. I'm not one to complain about price, but if what you guys are looking for is to provide high-end dinning you should really go visit places like Dal Rae, and Maestros they may not have the esthetics but the food and the service is superb compared to here. I'm going to give this place another month and see if they've improved. read more

We were so excited to visit Diosa and the perfect opportunity was my cousins graduation. Diosa food and service did not disappoint. Our server had great recommendations and the restaurant was not your typical Downey restaurant. All was good until we witnessed the owner speaking to an employee. We had to talk my cousin out from confronting her. Let me just say that the way she spoke to him was very, very unprofessional. I wouldn't even talk like this to a child. We will not be coming back. I am not someone to write reviews but this made us so upset. My group and I refuse to support a business who lacks professionalism and plain respect to its employees. Good luck Diosa but thanks to your owner we will not be returning. read more

The ambiance is the best aspect of this restaurant, it does make you feel like you are at a luxurious place. However, the food was subpar and the drink was mediocre. The menu was overpriced for the quality you receive. read more

If you care for nice decor and that social media picture or status, then this is the place for you. Otherwise wayyyyyy overpriced for what you get. Better tasting food off a street vendor or your typical casual restaurant. read more

I was so excited to come here but unfortunately my experience was horrible the customer service was terrible they made us wait 20 min even though we had reservations the food was great and thankfully the waitress made up for it but overall I would not recommend coming here read more

Food/drinks are great, all around restaurant is great. BUT valet kid(because he acted like one better yet an ass) almost hit my car while he was trying park someone's else's car. He acted like like nothing was wrong and also the other valet guy.. all this happened today Saturday around 530pm. Diosa u need to hire more responsible valet drivers. read more

I called to reserve a table at 7 and Alexis the front desk person answered and said nothing available till ten. I asked if there was anything available before 7 assuming she maybe something was available before 7. She answers with an attitude and that is just not acceptable when you're working in hospitality. So rude. I will not be going there again. read more

This was our first time visiting Diosa, and we had an amazing time. The decor was chic and modern, and we were welcomed and seated almost immediately after arriving. The staff was extremely responsive to us, and knowledgeable about the menu. Our waiter was Roger, and he was fantastic! His personality was very engaging, and he even took the time to talk sports with my husband, which my husband loved! Every food item that we ordered was delicious, and the drinks were great as well. My family and I all had a great time, and we will most definitely be coming back. read more

Anybody that leaves a bad review here really just doesn't like the price lol. The food was amazing, beautiful location, and good service. I was skeptical at first but me and all my party really enjoyed the food. Everything was so flavorful! The carnitas were a 10/10. It's a must try and happy this place is so close to home. read more

Guacamole was $20 with 10 chips we asked for more chips. (We were a party of 4) They charged us $4.00 for the extra bowl of 4 chips.

The ambiance was nice. Food was good. Sherryl went out of her way to make some amazing drinks. She also checked in on us several times to make sure everything was ok. Sabina was also extremely nice to us. Great service and the staff was amazing and attentive. read more

I've been waiting 2 weeks for the even planner to reach out to me. Still waiting and this is for a large work event.

please be aware they automatically tacked on an 18% gratuity and then there is a 3% rising cost also tacked on (wth raising cost ?) and then they show what you should put for gratuity on the bottom of the bill so I got nailed for over $80 and unforeseen expenses. just not right and not worth it. they should be ashamed! not going back for just so so good read more

This place was everything and more, starting at the concierge greeting you to your server that was at our beck and call . Now the drinks were Devine and the food matched. As for the rooms are absolutely beautiful the atmosphere is great. In others words I love this place and highly recommend. read more

The place is really nice and fancy. I was disappointed at the service. There were so many employees on the floor and yet no one came to our table to offer any service after sitting there for 25 minutes. A couple sitting next to us had sat down 10 to 15 minutes prior to us and no one had offered them any service. Another couple sitting adjacent to us had drinks on their table but we're upset because no one had come to take their food order. We got up and left and so did the first couple waiting for service. I also believe the couple with drinks left. Very disappointed. Prices were a bit on the high end, cannot tell you if it was worth the price ‍ Will NOT try it again. read more

Drinks were great. Food was an after thought for the restaurant. Everything Came out Luke warm, scallops were mushy and the food was way over priced. I go to some of the best steakhouses weekly, and this was extremely disappointing. read more

The place is nice. You will have amazing instagram pictures. Other than that, the servers had no idea what drinks or food to recommend. They shouldn't be in a party dress if they are going to serve. Saw my servers chonis. The food was eh! I've had better mole. They do not add enough mole to begin with. The rice was mushy. The queso fundido was good. Wish I had house made tortillas for the price! The steak empandas were delicious and I have to give it to them for their guava cheesecake and vanilla ice cream. So to say the least... go get your pictures in during a happy hour and bounce to your favorite taco spot. I've definitely had had better food for the price. I would go back for the guava cheesecake though lol. read more

Went here as a first timer to celebrate my anniversary and had a great experience. The drinks and food were delicious, and our server Fernanda was great as well! Good vibes all around! read more

The Diosa in Downey great place nice and fancy I Loved their enchiladas, but I just went recently, and they were way better the last time I went. read more

Subpar service for the restaurant rating on yelp. I was a walk in and the front desk person who I thought was the hostess told me she will be looking if they had empty tables. I was not offered a seat or to wait or even an invitation to the barn. When i was sat down, my waiter came to get my order, he did not introduced himself. My gf wanted regular coffee and there was no coffee , and he did not offer anything else. I asked about tea and for a sangria. He brought the tea and no sugar or a spoon. My sangria was something I did not recognized as an sangria. I order the octopus and a dessert for my gf. I was not given the right utensil to eat my octopus. The waiter was in a hurry with us. I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. I could have spend more on specialty drinks but the demeanor of my waiter discouraged me. I still tipped him close to 20% but it was a negative experience. My gf and I felt unwelcome and there was no recommendation for first time goers. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner. It is nice inside and I wasn't going to write a review or anything but a lot of things were just annoying with this place. First, we had to pay $10 for valet parking... in Downey. This isn't dtla where parking is scarce. It's a whole parking lot and you have to get valet. Second, the food was mediocre at best. $20 for a chunky unseasoned guacamole with cheap stale chips that you can buy at the 99. The enchilada poblanos were lacking in flavor too. Definitely not worth $37. The waiter was terribly slow, didn't fill our water, and to even check out we had to wait like 30 mins to get our check. Then they charge a 3% surcharge to the check to support the staff. Just add it to the prices instead of tacking on a 3% service charge to the check at the end. Such an easy skip and I think a lot of the people who go here go for the aesthetics and not really so much the food which you can get better almost anywhere else for cheaper. read more

This place was a totaled letdown. at first glance, the place looks great. There's a need for improvement in services and better time management in the kitchen. The drinks were ok and the food would have been good had they followed my request. They don't take accountability nor do they make any attempts to rectify their mistake, instead they lie to your face and make up an excuse. The music is too loud to converse with your company and you can't hear what the servers are saying unless your seating right beside them and you're shouting the whole time there to get your order in. During the 2 hours that we were there we were constantly asked if we had ordered the food and drinks in their hands, they had no clue which table the food and drinks belong to. Now let's get down to the poor time management in the kitchen .. for the price that they are charging for food plus the 13% surcharge, food should be coming out at the same time or at least a couple of minutes apart not 10- 20 minutes for each person. No one wants to seat and stare at the other person eating while they wait for their meal. I definitely will not recommend this place nor will I ever go back again. read more

I had higher hopes for this restaurant and was very disappointed. This is not the place to visit if you are looking to find reasonably priced food and drinks. To start off, valet is not optional and you are forced to pay for parking. Next, we were not seated right away because we did not have a reservation despite the fact that there were open tables; it was a Wednesday night and the restaurant was not packed or busy, by any means. While the food tasted, which is the only positive thing that I have to say about this place, the portions are claimed to be "shareable" - which they definitely are not. Additionally, the plates are incredibly expensive on top of being small portions. The drinks were the most disappointing part of the evening! I ordered a fight of margaritas, which I was excited for because I like tequila, but I did not taste any alcohol in the drinks whatsoever! Mind you, there are tequila bottles placed all around the space as decoration, but they failed to include any in the drinks! When I brought this concern up to the waiter I was dismissed and told that the drinks are meant to be "sipped." Well, how else am I supposed to drink a margarita? Aside from being dismissive, I was advised to order a drink from the "Gentleman's Section." The fact that there was a separate section for drinks made specifically for men seems sexist - are women not able to handle stronger drinks? It rubbed me the wrong way but I ordered a drink from that section anyways to see if there was any difference - there wasn't. Later on, the manager stopped by to check in on our table because we were dissatisfied with our drinks. I told them my concerns and was dismissed with the same, seemingly scripted, response of the drinks needing to be sipped which was very frustrating. Thankfully they took those drinks off our our tab, but the entire situation was very disappointing. The bill was still astronomical even with those items removed so I cannot imagine what it would've been if they had been included. All in all, not the best experience at this restaurant. read more

The Ambiance is the only reason for the two stars. I liked that the music isn't overpowering and can still have a conversation. Food was inedible. We ordered the rib eye steak that was too salty and had a burnt crust on top. No steak knife was given on delivery of the food. Had to ask for one. Should be given automatically on the plate. The steak empanadas were ok, the sauce inside over powered the steak and mushroom flavor. The corn was ok, lacked any real flavor. Puesto in HB had better corn. The Steak Arrechera was burnt and I only ate one piece. I had no plate with my steak, I stupidly gave it up when done with the appetizers. The steak was delivered on a black iron skillet placed on a riser and two ramekins of the rice and beans, napkin wrapped tortillas. The best part of the meal was the store bought guerrero tortillas. Rice was bland, I will not comment on the black beans as I personally do not like black beans. Service was good, our server was on top of things. She kept checking up on us. I probably will not be returning not even if a close friend were to celebrate their birthday here. read more

I just dined at Diosa, walking into this restaurant I notice the awesome fancy atmosphere of this restaurant. I admit that I was impressed by the whole look of the restaurant but then my party was showed to out table witch was a fast to get us too our table but then it was all down hill from there, they asked if we would like a light on our table cause it was a little dark but not too dark around the dinning area ( not bad thing ) but then waiter came over and introduced himself witch he was very friendly but after taking our drink order it was about half hour till our drinks were brought too us and then when we placed our food orders it was almost a hour till we received our food and let me say the food is over priced for the quality of food that is being served in my opinion! I would not recommend this location only if you want to try to impress someone and like to spend your hard earn $$ on mediocre food! read more
