The good- beautiful (and I mean BEAUTIFUL!) decor.. you can tell that a lot of thought and $$ went into the ambiance. This place gave off Vegas vibes. Drinks were inventive and aesthetic. There is even a "tequila goddess" that goes around with a cart of tequilas to take shots of, though I am not sure of the charge for this since we declined after getting our drinks. The bathrooms are nice and clean. Plentiful free parking in a strip mall that looks way off base for such a nice looking place. The not so good- the service! Slow and not as attentive/warm as I would have thought from the looks of the spot. The food was pretty but bland. Carnitas tasted dry, like they were kept in a slow cooker for a while. The rice tasted like it was made in an instapot and left there. $10 for chips and salsa that came way after we had our meal. Average price per plate was $28 (for chicken)-$49 (for shrimp enchiladas) with some family size meals like a tomahawk for $200. Didn't look like that came with sides. The menu offerings left a lot to be desired. And on top of it, there's a 3% fee to offset rising costs. Overall, this place was a one and done for me. read more

Leaving the review for the pink guava cake!! Simply amazing!! The mole enchiladas were way too sweet for my liking, but that's ok I know some people make their mole different! I wouldn't get them again, but I def think their food is pretty good :) read more

Visited the restaurant over the weekend and (spoiler alert) it was a great experience! We were seated inside because it was a really warm day, but everything about this place is stunning I couldn't get over the decor and the details in everything. I took so many pictures because every time I turned I saw another eye catching item. The service was great Taylor was our server and she was the sweetest ever! She provided details and recommendations as it was our first time. She really made the whole experience even more pleasant. So shout out to Taylor :) The Tuna tower was beautiful, delicious, and refreshing just so impressed by the presentation and the flavor. It had a nice roasted spicy sauce in there which complimented the fish perfectly. The enchiladas de Mar were also 5/5 I cannot believe how cheesy and delicious they were. The tortilla/crepes with blue corn was a unique way to make enchiladas, but I was totally into it. I also really enjoyed my drink so much so that I got a second one lol My friend and I are excited to go back and try their brunch menu because we had a wonderful experience. Note to self next time bring a cuter outfit for the photo ops haha. In conclusion, This place is amazing :) read more

Came here for my birthday lunch with friends. I suggest to come at 3pm for the happy hour menu. Steak Nachos are the best! They use mole sauce instead of melted cheese and they are delicious. Our server JOSE was fantastic! JOSE was very professional and pleasant, always checking on us. JOSE and LACY took care of us and gave us exceptional service. Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas were also very good. Drinks are delicious! read more

Priscilla was an amazing server! Knowledgeable, engaging and proactive. Made our experience wonderful

We went on Saturday mid day, the restaurant was very clean and beautiful decor. Seats very comfortable. The service was great, very professional and kind staff. We took our kids and they were happy and comfortable. The food was really good we tried burritos, carnitas and enchiladas and they were good portions and very tasty. It is on the pricier side and we wouldn't go often but definitely for special occasion. Oh and the drinks were in nice glasses and great presentation. Overall great experience. read more

Decor is gorgeous. Came for brunch. Bottomless mimosas for 2 hours was $26. Brunch menu selections looked great. Ordered the steak arrachera and eggs. It was a little salty. Had the churros Foster for 2. They make it tableside. It was delicious, although not $40 worth in my opinion. Our server however was exceptional so it was a great experience overall! read more

Echoing most reviewers here that the prices are pretty steep. Appetizers, cocktails and desserts go for $15 and up here, the main entrees $30 and up. The food is pretty decent - i would say the Camaron el diablo (shrimp in spicy red sauce, with garlic butter bread and cilantro rice and beans, Caesar salad and salmon risotto were hits while I would suggest to skip on the Carnitas, Bone marrow, Enchiladas, Steak empanadas. I would say it's great for birthday celebrations given they're able to accommodate large parties and have good interiors and ambiance. The service was friendly enough. We thought the lighting was too dark and it was pretty hot there, some people in our party were sweating through the night. read more

The drink selection was great. We had a reservation but sat at the bar. This place is beautifully decorated and the food was delicious. I'd go back. read more

I originally picked this place because it is woman owned, and I love supporting that, and the setting looked cute! Some spots of the restaurant could use more lighting (leading to the bathroom), but it's nicely decorated. The menu isn't vast, but the dishes are on point! I had the mole and the chicken was so tender and juicy! The salsa from the chips has a little kick to it; just ask for some limes. Their cocktails are beautifully crafted and really yummy. Price point is a little high, but it's definitely a treat! Great place for dinner on a date night. If you get there before 6, self parking is no problem. After 6:30 it becomes impossible to find a spot and you have to pay for valet. read more

The food is ok but the prices are crazy expensive for the food experience. I believe they changed owner or chef

As soon as I drove into the parking lot and saw the restaurant, I was like "ooh this place is fancy!" Very aesthetically pleasing. When I walked in, I was continued blown away by the decor. Diosa gives a Javier's vibe. 5 stars for the service and ambiance. Our waiter was very attentive, explaining the menu and constantly checking on us. 4 stars for the food and drinks. If you don't like spicy, make sure to ask the waiter/waitress which dish isn't spicy because everything we ordered was spicy. My shrimp enchiladas meal was just ok. Too much sauce, almost overpowering. I had leftover and it tasted much better the next day...I ordered the jalapeño pineapple margarita and it was nothing but pineapple juice. I told our waiter and it took it back and I ordered the Diosa X instead. Our waiter said he tasted the margarita and agreed that it tasted like straight pineapple juice. Now the Diosa X was smooth! Really smooth! Diosa is a date night or girl's night restaurant. Plenty of parking. read more

Came here last night to celebrate a friends birthday and it was such a pleasant experience. The interior is beautiful. Our waitress Taylor was amazing. Gave us suggestions on drinks and menu options. I had the octopus which was delicious. It was perfectly cooked and tastes just like a steak. They really did an amazing job on that dish. My friend had the enchiladas poblano and my other friend had the salmon. We all loved our food and everything came out exactly as requested (my friends had some dietary requests). The drinks were beautiful and very tasty. They have a margarita cart that comes around and makes your drink table-side. The prices might be a little steep but your paying for the entire experience and quality which we received. Only reason they didn't get five stars was because there was a point where are dishes had backed up, and nobody had come by to pick them up off the table. Maybe some extra bus people so the waitresses dont have to clean up. read more

Came here for a good Mother's Day dinner with my mom and sister (and kids lol). Although my sister booked a reservation at 415pm with OpenTable we still waited 40 minutes to be seated. What was good about that is they have a big patio out front where you sit and wait until your buzzer goes off. Upon being seated finally it was so cute of them handing out Mother's Day cards and a single rose to each Mom. The ambiance is very upscale and it is family owned. We got our drink order taken first and those were pretty quick in coming out. We also ordered the kids their food while the adults pondered on what we wanted. The kids food came out in a timely manner and loved the details to the chicken tenders with fruit on the side. My niece even killed her plain quesadilla and strawberry lemonade. They don't have a kids menu but the waitress will let you know they have a kids "secret menu". I ordered the enchiladas poblanas and they were amazing. Definitely different than what I have had before. I am personally not a fan of mole but this was good it gave it that hint of sweetness without the sour taste to it. Our appetizers was also delicious (shrimp taquitos) the slaw it came with had a kick to it and we ate every bit of it. For dessert we all shared a guava cheesecake and OMG the best guava cheesecake ever! What we loved about it is that it was heavy and empowering in taste. It was light and fluffy and had a fresh taste to it. I highly recommend you try it on your visit here. If you decide to go after 4 or does get busier so just plan accordingly. Parking can also be a hassle since it's a shopping center and it isn't only designated for Diosa. Just be careful where you park, if it looks like it will be tight just find a bigger spot or you'll risk getting your car damaged like mine. Other than the wait time to be seated the food and drinks are worth the price. Everything was tasty and it's understandable why it gets packed it's a very beautiful establishment. Will be back again on a non holiday! read more

my fiancée originally booked this place for bday dinner reservations. he's never been & i was hesitant since i've heard nothing but bad things but decided to give it a try anyway. i should've trusted my instincts. service was horrible. you'd think for a "high end" restaurant they'd at least fake it. nope. food was mid at best. ambiance? there was none that i witnessed. it got to the point where we felt uncomfortable, & when the waiter asked if we were celebrating anything we said no- we just wanted to get out of there. i wouldn't recommend this place if you want good food & good service. read more

If you're craving chicken mole, go to fiesta martin or an authentic spot that makes it because this taste like a jar mole. Service is great, water cup always filled. Passionfruit drink is tasty and sweet but not super sweet how I usually get my drinks so it's refreshing. I need some suggestions on meals to try because as of now it's overhyped to me read more

Los precios de la comida estan muy caros. El servicio se tarda mucho...la comida nada del otro mundo .

Opted for the &10 valet which was almost mandatory unless you don't mind a walk across a strip mall parking lot in heels (ugh). Initial impression was mixed with excitement and ahh as ambiance was upscale & chic. We made reservations and were seated right away. We unfortunately didn't get the fun talkative host, we had to read his name on the receipt to fill out the customer survey card. Drinks were ok not too strong not too flavorful. We had a party of 5, who enjoyed guacamole & queso appetizers followed by chicken mole, chicken fajitas, enchiladas verdes & camarones al mojo de ajo. Everything tasted fine dishes are maybe a little pricey for what they are but ehh we understand we're paying for the ambiance etc. What we didn't expect was gratuity automatically added and the service fee (smh) who does that? We'll probably hit Lagos in Fullerton or El Pescador in Downey next time we want a vibey Mexican dinner. read more

Diosa's ambience , lighting and decor was amazing . The server was very polite and attentive but the food was not as expected for a place that stands out . The chips were a bit salty and oily , the food was okay but the drinks were watered down half the time . They were good and then they weren't second time around . Not to mention my whole family received food poisoning. I wish I would've left with a better review as it was a really nice restaurant but don't know if I will be attending again read more

DIOSA! Diosa means Goddess in Spanish. There was so much buzz when this restaurant opened. I finally made my way here after 2 months. Despite the quick experience, it merits a review. The ambience is a 10 out of 10. Whoever designed this place, the menu, the food, the drinks, and everything in between deserves an award. It's honestly a feast for the eyes. I sat at the bar and that alone was an experience. The decor was beautiful. The people who worked there were beautiful. Everything was beautiful. The service was impeccable. Despite the establishment being labeled "upscale" , there was no snobbery to accompany it. The people we encountered were so hospitable and polite. They made our experience there enjoyable. The food was good. That I cannot complain about. Granted I only tried two dishes. The drink I had (I mentioned it was a quick visit) was AMAZING. It had me at first sight from its beauty. I watched the bartender prepare it and I was amazed. I kept asking what each step in the process was. I realized the X Fenty was right up my alley and asked for one. I was not disappointed. If I'd had more time I would've had a second one. I guess my only gripe would be the prices. Then again, inflation is everywhere. I honestly can't justify an order of wrapped shrimp for ....:checks menu price: $28. Despite the prices (and I'll take full responsibility for disliking that) , I'd definitely want to visit Diosa again. I'm so glad Downey had a nice venue like this to dine at. I hope they thrive and stay here. read more

The food was amazingly delicious and the presentation along with the name of alcohol beverages were spectacular and very chic & cute and definitely quench worthy ladies;). The front desk hostess along with the server was super sweet and definitely worth the moment of my experience at Diosa. I believe ladies know the assignment when the girlies gather to have a good time and enjoy themselves because so many of the lady staff members stopped to ask to step in and help take our photos of our rememberable night. Thank you Diosa so much for making this my friend birthday a special night to remember. read more

Overall the food was very good! The restaurant is beautiful, clean and our waiter was very friendly! The drinks are really good. I didn't give five stars only because we ordered the Camarones A La Diablo and the Mango-Habanero Aguachile about a few minutes after arriving. About 45 mins went by and still no food, we stopped our waiter and ordered the shrimp and chicken enchilada and about 15 mins went by and then everything we ordered came out. We also ordered the chips and salsa, really good! I definitely will go back again, hopefully next time it doesn't take that much time for our food to come out. read more

The food was average tasting maybe do to plates getting cold as they served half of are party then 45min later they served most of are party then they took another 30min to bring the last plate that was probably the simplest plate took the longest. The manager didn't come over at all. read more

Great addition to the Downey upscale dining scene. This has been a regular hangout spot for me and my peeps ever since it opened last January. I usually sit with Mike at the bar. He takes of my cocktails, food, special requests etc. He makes a truly exceptional Raspberry Lemon Drop Martini when I visit. Much appreciated. Robert is good too. He got promoted to be a manager now. Good for him!!! Wagyu - Must get. Santorini - Must get. Diosa & Co - Must get. Street Corn - Must get. Fettuccine Del Mar - Superb. Food is on the pricier side for Downey. You are paying for the variety in their menu and the ambiance! Interior decor is well planned and it transports you out of Downey the minute you step into the place. Great for date nights, romantic evenings, and just in general. I recommend. read more

First I will start with the ambiance and decor. DIOSA definitely has that West Hollywood vibe! From the fancy chandeliers to the chic interior, I have to say the owners did a really nice job with the decor. The gorgeous chandeliers hanging in the entryway definitely make a statement! The hostesses were friendly and we were seated immediately which was nice. After being seated, we began to look over the drink menu and with the help of our waitress, we made our selections which we both enjoyed. I definitely recommend the Watermelon Paleta! Once we began to look over the menu, we realized there weren't a lot of options to choose from. For someone like myself who doesn't eat meat, I had asked if they could make their Enchiladas Poblanos without steak and cheese instead. I was told this was not possible, which I found odd. We ended up ordering the Arroz Verde, Poblano Mashed Potatoes, and guacamole. All three items were delicious!! With that being said, I was disappointed with the lack of menu options and the inability to make cheese enchiladas. I am giving three stars for the limited menu options and the extremely overpriced sides. Our bill was over $100 for sides and two drinks! read more

You will order an overpriced meal for sure. The food that we ordered just seemed like overpriced tacos. The food came with your typical store bought tortillas. The restaurant is beautiful and our waitress was amazing, but Not somewhere I'd choose to return to myself unless a friend invited me or an event was taking place here. They have girls in glittery dresses going around offering margaritas. The plastic bottles with the labels slapped on them made the small cart look tacky. They do not bring the food at the same time for everyone. By the time one of us was done eating the other plate would finally arrive. The crème brûlée was one of the most unique I've tasted, so for that five stars. read more

What a wonderful gem in Downey! Beautiful decor inside and out. They have all day every day happy hour at the huge bar. We ordered from the happy hour menu and most items were reasonably priced. The Goddess Hour Margarita had a mixture of ingredients and was quite strong. We enjoyed the salsa trio and the different colors, tastes and textures of each. The shrimp taco was my favorite; enough shrimp and plenty of vegetables. While yummy, the lobster quesadilla didn't have enough lobster to match it's $35 price tag. We were served and checked on by three of four bartenders. All were beautiful and friendly. Two managers asked about our experience while dining and on our way out. I will definitely return. read more

A little late, but still. Went here a little while back, their first Monday open in over a year. Had a great adventure here! Was a little nervous when we arrived to see the interior decor and a few of the menu items. Thought we bit off more than we could chew. Then, Lisa came over. She was a champ! We were able to go through the menu with her, and she really helped ease our minds, especially with a family of 4, and 2 adventurous little ones. The atmosphere felt classy, yet relaxed. The quality of the food was incredible. Lisa (who I kept calling Tina because I'm horrible with names), kept our glasses full, our bellies satisfied with her recommendations, and our faces smiling and laughing all evening. Honestly, we discussed leaving because we felt uncomfortable before she arrived at our table. After talking with her, staying felt like a great choice, and we were very happy we did. It's been over a month and we're still raving about our meal and Lisa's service! Looking forward to coming back to try some more from the menu. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Vintage Fashion - it tastes really good, and has a wonderful presentation (much like everything else they do here)! read more

I really wanted to love this restaurant but unfortunately it fell short in so many ways. The positives: - Possibly the most GORGEOUS restaurant I've ever been to. Every detail of the ambiance was just perfect and beautiful. Very classy and elegant. Also, super trendy and cute. It was very beautiful! - The staff was very friendly and welcoming - They have beautiful presentations for drinks and food. The negatives: - I hate to say but they had horrible service. Everything took SO long to come out. And SO long to order, and just SO long for everything. We were there for a total of 3 hours! Dinner should never take 3 hours but they took forever for everything! - They messed up our order many times. Didn't bring out things we ordered, food and drinks. Also messed up our food orders in general - Most of us ordered steaks and requested them to be cooked medium in which they allllll came cooked well done. I could NOT eat my $75 filet mignon well done. It was extremely disappointing. - The drinks were just OKAY. Very mediocre. - Everything was very over priced for the way it tasted and just in general. I think if they made simple tweaks to staff, service, food and drinks I would possibly give this place another shot! But our original visit was less than par, unfortunately. read more

Everything was perfect here at Diosa from beginning to end. We were greeted at the door by a pleasant young lady and taken to our table right away. Our Server Emily was a 10/10. She was pleasant and always had a smile. She suggested some drinks and plates she felt I would like. Drink was amazing and food was great.

Diosa has such a modern and chic interior. It's kept tidy and well-managed. This is one of our go-to spots around Downey, and it never disappoints. The staff are efficient and attentive. For this visit, we tried the Fettuccine Del Mar, Diosa Guacamole, and Mango Habanero Aguachile. Fettuccine del mar: The noodles are cooked perfectly, and the parmesan cheese is fantastic. The noodles and the cheese are mixed in front of you, which is unique. The chicken was fresh and grilled to perfection. Tableside chile flakes and herbs are also served along with garlic bread, which goes well with the pasta. Diosa guacamole: It has such a rich flavor you can taste the freshness of the guacamole in every bite. Mango habanero aguachile: the salsa is perfect and refreshing, and the shrimp pieces are fresh. read more
