They do an absolute incredible job marketing online because everyone who came in seemed to have seen their food on Instagram. We came to Fatima's for a work lunch after seeing their hot cheeto burritos and wraps online. Everything looked so good! There was a short line outside their door the whole time we were there, but food came out fairly quickly. Their service was super friendly and personable as well! I ordered the hot cheetos beef crunch wrap and I can't say my expectations were too high since I felt like hot cheetos foods were more fad trends. But WOW this was the best crunchwrap I've ever had. I expected ground beef but they use carne asada in their wrap and it was delicious. I'm a huge fan of chewy tendons and fat so loved that their meat had some texture. You probably won't be a huge fan if you only like lean beef but where's the fun in that?! The hot cheetos added a spicy crunch and the lettuce and tomato were super refreshing. But the secret winner was the SAUCE they give to you with the wrap. I'm not sure what it was, maybe a chipotle crema? But the sauce was SO GOOD, flavorful with a kick. It could make a shoe taste good. The salsa verde was also super fresh. The crunchwrap was so big that I could only finish half for lunch. I ended up eating the other half for dinner and even though it wasn't crunchy anymore, it was still SO GOOD. Come try Fatima's Grill, the hype is REAL. Delicious food and great service. Lot's of different options on their menu for everybody! read more

Fatima's Grill - Hot Cheetos Crunch Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Downey, California

Shout out to their PR team for making just decent food go viral. Wouldn't exactly call their food hype since it's not bad, but it's not really special either. I only tried their hot cheeto asada fries. At first, I was amazed by the portion size since I ordered a small. That could easily feed 3 people. But then, you think about the fact that it cost ~$14 and portion isn't that amazing anymore. Plus, I paid $1.50 on top of that for jalapeños and man, I counted 8 slices. Definitely not getting bang for your buck. Kind of a waste of money actually if you don't have enough people to finish the food. It's not like you're going to want soggy cheetos and fries as leftovers later. Taste wise, I liked that they used seasoned fries as their base. The nacho cheese was generous. Their asada was decent texture but I couldn't really taste it past the cheese sauce. I had a couple chewy pieces, but not many. Probably could've thrown in a little more cheetos though since that's really the main attraction. Service was friendly, but that kitchen is so slow. I had my order in at opening and quoted wait time was 50 min. Actual wait time was 40 min. Don't they do prep before opening? How do asada fries take 40 min to throw together? I doubt they're cooking the asada fresh for each order. Fries take 10 min in the fryer. I'll give a generous extra 10 min to assemble. 20 min max necessary, especially when the doors barely opened and there's hardly any other customers. Wouldn't say no if someone else wants to try this place out, but I doubt I'll bring myself back anytime soon. read more

Food is great, this is our go to for our dental office! Fast and friendly service. They have a variety of food and everything is delicious

Honestly... do not understand the hype. Ordered the asada taco, chicken taco, and 3 meat plate. My boyfriend & I don't know how to explain the taste besides "fake". Tomatoes even tasted janky. Not my taste but clearly others enjoy it. Good parking, ordering online was a 10/10 and food came out just as ordered. read more

I love Mediterranean food and when I was looking for a place close by the dealership I was at and this spot popped up I asked some of the people there if it was good they all said it was. So I decided to check it out. Ali helped me out and he was the nicest most attentive person. Not having meat right now he made me a dish with shrimp it was delicious! Loved the decor very vibrant and definitely a Mediterranean Mexican fusion! Bomb! Definitely recommend! read more

food was excellent. I especially recommend the chicken Shawarma salad. Also, the gentleman who runs the place clearly takes pride in his shop. Lots of cool memorabilia on the walls. even though it's just the order and sit down place he comes up and checks on you. Make sure you have everything you need. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Great food! We didn't have to wait long. I hope that they can expand the dining area, but we will definitely come back, insha Allah.

Be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes for your food. The birria tacos were perfect they were so good! I got the taquitos and didn't like them. The hot cheeto mozzarella sticks were oddly good. They have good portion sizes. My friend got the hot cheeto steak quesadilla, she liked it, I did not. It gets busy and the wait can be very long. We sat outside and it was freezing so it's smart to bring a jacket in the evening. read more

Gave these guys another chance and I was blown away! The owner and employees, Manuel and Jose, we're very kind and welcoming. And the food was INCREDIBLE! If you're looking for a great shawarma plate, do yourself a favor and come by Fatima's. You guys definitely earned my respect and loyalty for life. It's been 2 days and I'm still thinking about how delicious my Mix Shawarma Plate was. A+++ read more

I came to eat with my husband on 12/22, the food was amazing. However, the customer service sucks. The day we walked in there happened to be an influencer. We were treated differently than her. The server brought out our food and theirs around the same time. She asked them if they needed anything else and brought out whatever they needed. Yet, when I asked for more green salsa she told me that I had to pay .85 cents and the register to get. We are paying customers and should be treated the same. Though the food was great, that really spoiled our food. I've never left a yelp review before until now. Just thought I'd share that. read more

Owner reached out to me and made things right. Because of this it showed me what this restaurants values and standards they uphold that was clearly displayed by the owner's actions. The food is very good and this is an update as is appropriate to share with whomever reads this that this restaurant cares about the food they make and serve to their customers and they care about their customers themselves, being the bigger person by humbling themselves to make things right. This is a quality and a pathway that is a dying breed, but a true gem when it's genuine and enacted. The owner was a pleasure to deal with and I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again. So in a rare occasion, I am updating my review as the reality of the situation is of such of an improvement I had to let it be known. Thank you to the owner of Fatima's and may they continue to serve amazing quality and tasting food to the people of the community. Thank you for making things right, it is only fair for me doing the same. Cheers. read more

super slow service... no public restroom. crazy prices for a burrito with hot Cheetos...I expected more, super hyped up spot. Not worth it.

Great customer service and great food!! I went here the other day to try out the food (since I've only heard good things about this place). I ordered two Triple threat fries and a gyro wrap to go. For whatever reason, my card didn't go through (probably a scratch on my chip) so the owner said it was okay and advised me to go to stater bros to use the atm while my order was ready. By the time I came back my order was ready and the owner gave me a water (very kind). After trying the triple threat fries and the gyro wrap, I must say everything tasted fantastic. So much flavor in every bite. I suggest sharing the triple threat fries with 1-3 people since the portions are large here. This place is definitely worth your money and time. Lots of parking in this center as well. I will be coming back here to try more items out. Advise: place food order via phone, sometimes the lines here can get long, I can see why! Make sure to check in on Yelp to get your free fries (sweet bread). read more

Service and food was amazing! My girlfriend said Liz was a sweetheart and she was really nice she helped us out with any questions we had as first timers. Definitely recommend especially if you like hot Cheetos! read more

I love this place. The fusion of the different cuisines make for a very unique experience. My friend ordered the Chile relleno burrito, and I had the Hot Cheeto wrap. They both were so tasty, and they give you a lot of food. I had enough to eat later. This is my second time coming here, because it's far from where I live. However, whenever I come this way again. I am gonna stop by again. read more

Heard about this place from social media and had to try it. Placed my order over the phone and picked up my order in less than 30mins. My family and I ordered a variety of items. The quality of the food, immaculate. You could definitely tell the ingredients were fresh and everything was made to order. Not to mention, portions are huge! Especially it being take out, Fatima earned my respects!! Without a doubt, we'll be coming back! Must try if you're in the area! read more

I was so excited. Landed at LAX from Houston and came straight here but had some food quality issues with my first order. The owner was receptive to the comments, questions, and concerns that my party and I had with the food. Ali was very receptive and friendly about using the consumers advice to change up food items. I was brought out fresh food and would definitely be returning in a couple days to bring more friends over for the unique menu. read more

Fatima's Grill - Philly cheesesteak fries, Hot Cheetos Burrito, BBQ Brisket Quesadilla, Chicken Zinger Wrap, and small fries. - Mediterranean Near Me - Downey, California

A local man and his family of Lebanese background, influenced by regional mex-american cooking opened this hole in the wall located in Downey; and the goods dished out of it perfectly captures his influences -There are several variations of lebanon-texmex hybrids, as well as traditional plates from both genres. I avoided the Frankenstein-esque, hotcheeto infused items and got the shawarma mix wrap ( think of a shawarma plate stuffed inside a burrito that is then toasted on a panini grill ) and it was worth the wait, and wait we had: even at the inbetween hours of 2-3pm that we were visiting at there was a line going out the door. Nevertheless, the hype was real. Also, don't forget, complimentary small order of fries w/ yelp check in. One of the most memorable lunch experiences in recent memory, and a true so-cal original. 5 stars. read more

Are you a foodie? Are you also a Flamin' Hot Cheetos fan? If your answer to both questions were both yes, then this is the place for you. This place is best known for the addition to Flamin' Hot Cheetos on several items on the menu, including fries, burritos, and more! Come for the Flamin' Hot Cheetos Burrito, but stay for the fries! When coming here, you'll definitely feel like you have to order everything or else you'll have some serious FOMO if there's anything you missed...so be prepared. I ended up ordering the fries and the burrito. While both were delicious, I waited a little too long to eat my burrito (the fries are way more than enough to get even two people full). The fries had a ton of hot Cheetos, giving every bite that nice crunch. Definitely a great dish to eat if you're trying to cure a hangover from a night of drinking as well. When it was time to eat the burrito, I was in shocked to feel how heavy that thing was. It almost felt like a baby! Nevertheless, it was delicious as well. Pro-tip: Come extremely hungry. These guys are not kidding with their portions! read more

This place is a 3 min drive from my job and has earned my "BEST RESTAURANT IN DOWNEY" title! Everything I've tried gets a 5 star review. I didn't think the tacos would be great but I was pleasantly wrong! The meat is so good! My go to taco place is king taco but their meat here is 10x better! The tortillas are better and the creamy spicy sauce is ! Love KT sauce for this one is a fair trade. In the taco competition, I'd chose FG! They are tiny. You can eat one in three bits, two if you're a guy who takes big bites. The sopes taste homemade and are perfectly cooked. They have some crunch and are not too thick. They are heavily topped with meat and several other toppings. Best sopes I've tried outside of my mom's kitchen. California burrito is big enough to feed 2 people, seriously. It has french fries in it and when I bit into it, it kinda seemed like a bad combo but it was really good! I split it with my sister and my nephew ended up eating what we could not finish. Quesadilla de asada. Huge portion size. With so many options here, I'd say for a huge picky eater or a child that is a difficult eater, I'd say oder this. Don't get me wrong, it's good! But at the bottom of my list from everything I've tried Chicken kabobs on a bed of rice with pita bread. So much food that I ate leftovers for lunch the next day. I can't wait to try their full menu! Also, their creamy sauce is $5 and totally worth the price. The guys working there are always super chill and friendly. Great customer service! Come check it out! You won't be disappointed read more

I had a favorite spot which was crush kabob but this oneeeeee..... takes the win. (3 meat platter) Rice was flavorful, meat was tender and well seasoned. Which is always a PLUS. A very generous amount of food for $25 . You literally get two meals in one and maybe even three. Loved the salad it comes with.(huge fan of pickled onions and radishes..not so much of the beets but still good enough to eat. Hummus was a little bland wish it had a little more flavor but other than that I am definitely coming back again! We got there 15 min before closing and the cashier was very friendly. Service was great. She explained the menu to the best of her abilities ( she might have been new) 8/10 overall. read more

Service was absolutely terrible, worst i've had in Downey. The food was good but a bit overkill - only recommend it if you're drunk or feeding children who are looking for something 'fun'. Ambiance is terrible with it being tiny and neglected. The food was still just a 6.5/10 read more

Yesterday i officially had the best fish tacos ive ever had in my life !!! The food in general is excellent ive probably tried half of Fatimas grill menu hopefully ill go through it all soon. Service is quick, food is always at the right temperature which i really care about. The utensils, packaging and everything about the food is top notch !! I had the chance to meet the owner and he is a really nice guy, he seemed like he really cared about how we saw his food, he was frequently asking us how was everything and just showing us how passionate he is about his food. The two hour drive is definitely worth it. He has a great menu for kids aswell, my kids really loved the food so its a win win for the whole fam. Tryyy his fish tacos!!!! You will thank me later. read more

This review is specifically for their Brisket Sub Sandwich. First the Fatima Grill has outstanding friendly employees. What do you expect when you order a brisket sub? I expected sliced or cubed chunks of beef Brisket. Instead the sandwich is made of shredded beef. Shredded beef makes me question the beef used in this higher priced sandwich. I have never been to a restaurant and ordered brisket and it was served shredded. However even if it was brisket the meat was chewy because, in my opinion, it was overcooked causing it to be dry. So a hard pass on their Brisket Sandwich. read more

I've been wanting to check this place for a while after reading the reviews and looking at the photos. I ordered the hot Cheetos crunch wrap and the nacho cheese came out ice cold. I dined there so there's no excuse! They made me another crunch wrap which I appreciated but honestly it was still cold. I didn't bring it up again since I was on my lunch break and had to quickly eat and go. This just gets worse, after dining here. I felt sick after an hour and threw up 2 times. I left work an hour earlier so I can go home and rest. I called the restaurant that day to speak with Ali who he says is the manager. I explained my situation and he didn't care at all! Just plain rude, horrible customer service!!! Every restaurant have off days and I like to try other items on their menu at least three times before I make a firm decision. I was willing to come back here and try another dish since they have other unique dishes that's inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. After talking with Ali, I'm never going back here again! I value customer support above all else, and this place lacks that! I won't deter all you yelpers to go elsewhere but just don't get the Hot Cheetos crunch wrap. Hopefully other dishes come with fresh ingredients and you don't get sick like I did. I wish you guys have a much better experience than I did. Hope this review helped anyone who will dine here! Update: The owner personally messaged me on yelp and gave me his personal cell number. After speaking with the owner who is the real Ali. The person I called at the restaurant was not Ali, his name is Jose and he pretended to be Ali. I specifically asked for his name and if he was the manager. He said "yes". I don't know why he's using a fake identity. When a customer asked to speak with the manager, an employee shouldn't lie regarding this matter! Hopefully, Ali will speak to Jose because this is not professional! After speaking with Ali, I could tell that he genuinely cares about his customers and he really cared about my wellbeing. I was also fully refunded for my meal and he personally apologized regarding this issue. Like I previously mentioned, I value customer support above all else and I'm super glad that Ali delivers A+ customer support. I really appreciated his effort to solve this issue and I felt welcome to come back anytime. And, I will come back to Fatima's Grill to try another dish. I'm upping my review score from a 1 star to 4 stars due to customer service. Thank you Ali for genuinely caring about my wellbeing and trusting your customers. I know 100% that if you were there in person, this wouldn't have happened. Two thumbs up to Ali! read more

Love this Mexican/Mediterranean fusion spot. There loaded fries no matter what flavor is always tasty, fresh, and juicy. Fries were crispy and the toppings were generous. Their shawarma wrap are my other favorites as it gives that herb and zesty flavor along with the chicken a balance taste bud experience. Service is slow but that's because they want food to be as fresh as possible. Ambiance is like a sports bar as it has lots of LA sports team decor and local urban icons. Chill spot overall. read more

This place is amazing!!! The vibes when you walk in are immaculate for all hip hop heads, Kobe fans, sports fans, or if you bleed LA! Shoutout to Liza, she was the best giving amazing recs and making it easier to choose from the long menu (which is long because they can just cook their ass off from three different cuisines). This place is the love child of interracial relationships and is a 10/10 recommendation and I'll definitely be a regular now!! read more

Thank you Jose for such great service. Very welcoming and attentive. My mom and I came for the first during lunch time. We loved it

Placed a catering order through Ali and everything was taken care of to perfection. From helping me pick items as well as the correct amount of food, to packing the food into my car. Amazing service. Additionally, everyone loved the food. I was told this was the best Mediterranean food they've eaten. Highly recommend this spot. 10/10. read more

The guy taking my order was great. He had great customer service. I ordered the Carne Asada Fries, without hot cheetos, the Hot Cheetos Burrito, and the Chicken Swarma and and Beef Swarma burrito. The carne asada fries, aren't carne asada fries! Where's the cheese?!?! Why all of the toppings and no cheese?!?!?Classic Carne Asada fries have cheese! I was disappointed to say the least. I completely understand that this is a fusion restaurant, but at least our cheese on the fries. Way too many toppings on the fries. The Hot Cheetos Carne Asada Burrito was more like a bean and rice burrito with 5 Hot Cheetos and only grilled on one side. This flavors are great, but lose the nacho cheese and add regular shredded cheese. Please go light on the rice and beans! The first 5 bites were rice and beans only. Please add more Hot Cheetos! The Burrito looked nothing like the picture. I expected more from a place with such good reviews. The location was clean on the inside from what I could see. I would go back, but only after these recommendations. The food isn't bad, just overloaded with unnecessary ingredients! The HOT CHEETOS Burrito could be EPIC, if you made the changes! Please add cheese to the Carne Asada fries. I don't want a salad on top of my carne asada fries. I just want carne asada fries the classic way, but that's just me, I suppose. read more
