    The entrance
    Danny V.

    This place is an absolute amazing hidden gem. I would strongly recommend making reservations as they are normally fully booked on the weekends. They have some of the best tasting dishes, unique drinks and great decor.

    Such a fun and unexpected spot with a speak easy feel. We stopped by for bites and drinks and were pleasantly pleased with the vibe, drinks, food and friendly staff. You must make a reservation but are able to get seated as a walk-in if its not busy. We had a reservation and were seated within minutes. The front entrance display looks like a butcher shop which is actually functional and not just for display, in other words you can order a nice cut of beef to take home. Once you pass the freezer door entrance inside, you'll be seated in a small dining area with a full-size bar and a wall display of locked Steins which actually belong to club members (which on its own is a whole other can of surprisingly cool worms to delve into). Overall, we had a fun time and enjoyed everything we ordered so we'll def be back. Another plus, there's a free easily accessible parking structure across the street.

    Queso fundido
    Bird L.

    This place is such a vibe for date night! Brian our server recommended the guava seltzer. It totally hit, it was strong and had a great flavor. The queso fundido with mushrooms and homemade tortillas was the perfect start! El comal is what we had for the main dish, 10/10. The meat was tender with delicious flavor. Of course had leftovers it was a big platter. Definitely going to be coming back!

    Came here for beer and food and was not disappointed. Did not have a reservation for a Tuesday night but after 20 mins we were able to sit down. The food is a bit pricey but high quality. Loved the steak fried rice, was enough for me even though it's listed as a side.

    Spicy margarita (very spicy. Too spicy. Not enough flavor balance) & raspberry margarita (I think! Too sweet)
    Mary G.

    Absolutely LOVED the ambiance! Such a beautiful vibe & extremely chill. Not what I expected at all when we walked back, but soooo worth it. The food was delicious! The cocktails were okay, they looked great though. The Caesar salad chicken sandwich was SO GOOD! Chicharrones w guacamole was delicious! The wings, carne asada fries & chips/ salsa were delicious. Our waitress was extremely attentive & on top of our order. Always keeping an eye on us without hovering. Love that. Will definitely come back. Great spot in Whittier!

    Their hot plate, I can't recall what it was called, but it was good.
    Miss I.

    We came here for date night and thankfully we had reservations, because the wait time was 45 minutes long. It was my first time here, you walk into what looks like a meat market store front, you then wait and are let in through a freezer door, kind of like a speakeasy. We ordered their sizzling hot plate with beef, pork, and chicken, it comes with tortillas and a bit of grilled veggie and two pieces of cheese. We had beer and wine . They don't have mixed drinks, as they don't have a liquor license. Cool little date night spot.

    guava seltzer - not great
    Christina K.

    Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 First time here and it was definitely a good find. A speakeasy close to uptown Whittier that looks like a meat market from the outside. Recommend making a reservation for this place before you go. You walk through the "freezer door" to get into the inside of the speakeasy where it is spacious and has cute, dimly lit ambiance with a bar. Started with chips and salsa, not complimentary or bottomless, unfortunately. Chips were good and salsa was HOT, but delish. Then had the guava summer salad - light and refreshing with guava, figs and avocado on it. Ordered a guava seltzer - not great and barely has guava flavor and would not order again. Then for dinner we got the El Comal (chicken, tristar angus skirt steak and pork adobada that comes with salsa and homemade corn and flour tortillas). This dish can be shared and serves 2-3 ppl. This dish was AMAZING. Each meat was cooked perfectly - buttery, moist, flavorful, melt in your mouth pieces of meat. I was actually throroughly surprised at how good it was and was very full and still had leftovers. Will DEFINITELY be back.

    Chicken schnitzel
    Vanessa G.

    We tried the chicken schnitzel at the Booktoberfest. It was fantastic. The chilled red wine cabbage complimented the dish perfectly. Id love to actually go and dine at this place and enjoy dinner and drinks. The staff was very friendly.

    Stopped by for the first time for diner on a Thursday night and it was ok. The girl at the front was nice and opened the second door for us. The ambiance is great upon entrance; the place is nice. We sat down, they took our order and the food came out in a timely manner, well most of it, but the drinks were delayed. Ordered juice for my son that never arrived after being told twice it was on its way. I ordered a second margarita that also never arrived. I will say that these items were not on our check. Food was tasty and we enjoyed dinner and ice cream for dessert, but service was a little slow and it wasn't too busy. I'd say visit this place if you haven't been to a speakeasy and try their food, and hopefully you have a better experience than ours.

    Chile verde Mac and cheese
    Pauline C.

    What I've Tried - Guacamole de Chicharron - Chile Morita Wings - Chile Colorado - Chile Verde Mac and Cheese La Bodega Brewing is such a hidden gem! The food is AMAZING (dinner menu). If this place wasn't so far, I would visit more often. Service is great and decor is beautiful! The IPA and seltzer I tried were good. Chile Morita Wings is so flavorful that you don't need ranch! Chile Colorado with the handmade corn tortillas and beans are amazing. Although the tortilla is thick, all the flavors together work. I always get the same things when I visit but will need to be brave and try the brunch menu one day! Parking is easy! There is a structure across the street. They take reservations! Enter through the refrigerator door.

A weekend brunch with friends brought me to Madre's Whittier, where the menu offered plenty of tempting options--and a few unexpected lessons about ordering seafood. I tried the Ensenada Omelet, loaded with shrimp, salmon, crab, and octopus. Now, I'm a seafood lover, but octopus and I aren't exactly close friends. I asked if it could be removed, but since the seafood mix is pre-made, the octopus had already RSVP'd to the party. The omelet was good, topped with a creamy sauce, but not something I'd order again. The crab appeared to be imitation crab, and while everything was prepared well, it just wasn't a standout for me. The real star? The strawberry pancakes. Delicious! Next time, I'd order those with a side of eggs and call it a win. I also sampled the chilaquiles, and now that's a dish I'd come back for. The Tiramisu Latte was another favorite--not overly sweet and packed with that classic tiramisu flavor I love. A special shoutout to our waitress, Annie, who was attentive, friendly, and made our brunch experience even better. My Verdict: Skip the Ensenada Omelet and build your brunch around the stars of the menu instead. The strawberry pancakes are the must-order item, the chilaquiles are a strong savory choice, and the Tiramisu Latte ties everything together. If you order wisely, Madre's delivers a brunch worth coming back for.

There is more outdoor seating on the covered patio than indoor seating. Both seating areas are nice. The lady who seated us was very friendly and pretty attentive and especially considering she wad handling a lot of other tables. Both the house eggs Benedict and house French toast were good. Was expecting crispy bacon on the benny considering the description, but the only difference from classic seemed to be the avocado. The benny egg and muffin were both collected well, especially the eggs they did a great job on those. Wife didn't like the flavor of the hollandaise sauce, but thought it was fine. She liked the French toast much better. You did not need syrup as the butter cream and chocolate sauce were plenty sweet on their own. Half serving is probably ok for one person, full was nice to share. The bathroom was clean, large, and single person--great for a pit stop before you head out! The mason jar waters were cool. Overall, nice local joint for a peaceful weekend or vacation breakfast. Definitely recommend giving them a try. Will be back sometime.

There were NO customers as we entered the restaurant, perhaps we came in rather late, an hour before closing. Nonetheless, considering there's no one inside the place, the service was aloof, distant and not attentive. As staff were going home, the two waitresses did not check on us for refill of coffee and water. When we paid the bill and generously tipped, we said, "bye!", the waitress was seating with her phone glued to her face. The food was decent. I ordered the "House full French Toast", and it is loaded with sliced strawberries and bananas, and drowned in chocolate drizzles. The brioche toasts were a tad dried and spongy but well coated with eggs. Delicious still. My other half ordered a Spanish omelette; it was good. We both got a little queasy in the tummy afterward. Considering spotty service and average food, we're not coming back. 2.5 stars.

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.

Melontini - 2.5/5 light, somewhat good flavor but nothing memorable. Ambience seems nice but it can be loud inside with open floor plan.
