    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Hazy IPA

    We shared the appetizers off from their menu and i ordered their cheeseburger with fries. Combo with beer is heaven! The staff were very attentive and timely management. The front building is look like small local shop but there is tables, chairs and bar behind the shop. It's very cool. They sell merchandise and pack of beers too.

    Kobe Steak came out overcooked
    Mike L.

    I really wanted to like this place, but there definitely is a lot of room they can improve on. Came with a party of 3 and ordered a variety of items. The guava salad was amazing. Everything else was either overcooked or unfortunately not what we ordered. For mains we got Kobe Steak + Porterhouse + 3 Lobster Tails. The steaks were supposed to be medium, but came over cooked, both well done. Shame how the Kobe beef came well done at $110 per 6oz! (Teardrop). They also spaced out all the sides and each entree came out 15m apart, so didn't have a chance to eat everything together, or it cooled off. Timing of dishes can improve. Also we asked which desert she recommended, and she said cheesecake so we ordered that, but bread pudding came out. She seemed busy so we didn't say anything and just ate the desert. Overall the total for us 3 was around $620 with tip. They did credit us $28 for drinks so there's that. I think it's cause when she asked how the Kobe was, we said it was great but overcooked. Overall 6/10.

The breading to zucchini ratio was perfect and paired perfect perfectly with a marinara sauce. Short rib pappardelle (5/5) - this pasta dish was the absolute highlight of our meal. In order comes with two servings, which is more than enough pasta for a second meal for two people. The short rib was flavorful and tender, and the Alfredo sauce and fresh pasta were amazing. Cannoli (4/5) - the cannoli was a simple way to top off our delicious Italian meal. I like that on one end there were chocolate chips and the other end there was pistachio.

Today I took my sister to introduce her to the best steak sandwich around. She started eating before me and said it was not that good. I'm looking at her like she's crazy as I put mayo and mustard on my Sammy. I take the first bite and notice this is NOT the flavor that I had before. Added a little salt and pepper thinking that will help. NOPE! Each bite was tough and loaded with gristle or inedible fat or something that I couldn't separate with my teeth. I'm pulling pieces apart and having to eat around the tough meat. I took the sandwich up to the register and asked them if they changed the cut of meat they use. They said no, it's always been either rib eye or NY. Every single one of the many I'd had before were the same. This one was different. Even looked different, as if it had been run through a machine in an attempt to tenderize it. Didn't work! You could see through some parts kind of like the way a knitted scarf would look If you stretched it out and could see the holes in it. Anyway, the guy said, "You must have got a tough cut" or "bad cut". I can't remember exactly the wording. But then he just shrugged me off. No offer to fix the problem. I was hungry, I hadn't had breakfast, and it was obvious the guy didnt care, so I just went back to my table and ate the rest of the bread and fixings while gnawing off any edible meat from my horrible steak. $26 for a sandwich and fries. Not willing to spend that much and hope I get a good cut of meat. I'm done.

Orders took a little time to arrive, but they made sure we had chips and salsa and with a full crowd and a limited number of wait staff, they made sure we were still being attended too.

Service was also quick and attentive! I rounded up to a 5 stars, but this place is more like a 4.5 to me- the only thing that's preventing it from being perfect is their rampant use of AI. When I called, they had an AI answer my questions, and the Ai voice was super annoying and kept interrupting my questions. The uncanny part about the AI responder is that they play restaurant ambient noises in the background so that it "feels" like you're talking to a real person- it just feels so dystopian in my opinion. They also play AI music constantly in the restaurant, which can be repetitive and annoying to some. Anyway, I'm definitely coming back, but I would probably like this place even more if it had more of a human touch!
