They give you chips and salsa, which were OK and then we went ahead and ordered their Molcajete for around $36. It comes with Carne Asada, chicken, nopales, green onions, Mexican cheese, shrimp, side of rice and beans and guacamole in your choice of corn flour tortilla, which are also house made, which were phenomenal. The only thing I did not like about this was that the chicken was super dry and flat similar to a Molanesa. They were quite a few birthdays at which mariachi band comes up to you and sings to you and gives you a cake which I thought was pretty nice. I would come back to try the other items and bring your family. The staff was very friendly and I liked how prompt they were. We ordered our food and within 10 minutes. It was already at our table.

This morning, I decided to break from my usual routine and forgo attending a service, opting…read moreinstead for a quiet moment at a local coffee shop. 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.

The atmosphere, the energy, and the overall vibe made it such a fun and memorable dinner. I didn't remember the name of the dish at first, but based on what we ordered and how it was served, I'm pretty sure I had the bone marrow. It was absolutely delicious--rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented, served with tortillas and fresh toppings that balanced everything perfectly. Definitely one of those dishes that stands out and makes you want to come back again. We also celebrated a friend's birthday, and the staff made it extra special by bringing out ice cream with candles, which was such a thoughtful and fun touch. Little moments like that really elevate the experience. Between the food, the ambiance, and the great service, this place checks all the boxes. We loved spending our evening here and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend for a night out, celebrations, or just a great dinner.

I finally made the drive to Downey to try this chicken spot I have been eyeing for monthsssss!…read moreTheir parking lot is located in the back of the restaurant as street parking appears to be limited. They As we are a primarily chicken household, I brought my family with me to try their chicken plates and creative chicken plates. My first initial thought walking into Chicken Koop is that it has calm party vibe... the reason I say this is because through our whole time in the restaurant, they were playing a lot of my favorite songs. For a second, I thought my phone had connected to their speakers, lol! Pictured below is the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate. The Friend Chicken Sandwich was so juicy and flavorful; the breaded chicken patty had a perfect crunch to it. The 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate was also another delicious and great choice. The chicken was cooked perfectly- again no dry chicken and it was juicy w a crunchy outer skin. The Brussels sprouts can out perfectly as well.

The breaded seasoning had a distinct flavor that felt a bit "off" for a chicken and waffles pairing. The Waffles: it has good texture and taste. Seating: There are both indoor and outdoor seating options, and the bar is partially outdoors. Outdoor Vibe: The outdoor area is covered, but keep in mind there is no AC, so it can get quite warm. I'm glad I checked it off the list, but I didn't leave feeling like I needed to return.

I come all the way from Pasadena because nothing compares to the flavor, energy, and experience here. Every dish is authentic with an incredible twist of cuisines that somehow works perfectly every single time. The food is bold, fresh, creative, and unforgettable. And Liza is truly the heart of this place. Her positive energy lights up the entire restaurant. She treats everyone like family and you can genuinely feel the love she puts into everything. It's rare to find a place where the atmosphere is just as amazing as the food, but Fatima's Grill delivers both. You don't just leave full, you leave happy. This spot has become more than a restaurant for me, it's a whole vibe. Amazing people, amazing energy, and seriously some of the best food I've had anywhere. I'll gladly keep making the drive from Pasadena because places like this are one of one. Highly recommend!

She checked on us often, anticipated what we needed, and made sure every detail was taken care of without us having to ask. Mariam is a perfect example of what great customer service should look like.clear communication, genuine friendliness, and a commitment to making guests feel valued. The food was excellent as always, and if you go, you absolutely have to try the Café de Olla. Mariam even offered me a refill to go, and I'm not going to lie, that made the drive home feel extra good. The atmosphere is great for large parties with plenty of space to relax and enjoy your meal. If you're planning to visit, ask for Mariam. You won't regret it. She's the kind of employee a restaurant should be proud of. Honest, hardworking, and worth every bit of recognition. La Barca, give this team member a raise. She's a keeper.

The restaurant was fairly empty when we arrived. We ordered gorditas, guacamole, and nachos. I had a margarita, and my friend enjoyed her nachos with a refreshing cucumber drink. We also purchased a cup of *Champurado* to go, after sampling it - and it's truly exceptional. My gorditas featured a delicious mushroom "meat" and soy chorizo. The chorizo had a delightful kick - a pleasant spice, not overpowering. The mushroom "meat" was fantastic! The guacamole was perfect, and I appreciated the NO tomatoes. I didn't try the nachos, but my friend seemed to thoroughly enjoy the diverse ingredients. We had a wonderful time and I'll definitely be returning. I highly recommend the *Champurrado*, the gorditas (especially the mushroom one!), and the guacamole. The soy chorizo was also excellent.
