Lots of juice options to choose from. They can even custom make juices. There's lots of Mexican treats to choose from. I ordered a regular esquite. They have an option to add crushed Cheeto dust on top. It's a local fav.

Hawaiano and Mango-Strawberry raspados
Jessie A.

It had been too long, 2years actually, since I had been here. I was not disappointed! The Hawaiiano raspado is so damn good. It's not too sweet, tastes fresh and has actual fruit chunks. Idk why it took me so long to come back. Won't happen again. Located right on greenleaf so parking can sometimes be difficult. Price - some complain about the prices. A raspado is about $8.50. Honestly, it's best raspado I've ever had and the serving size is large. I'll pay it again.

store not opened when online ordering says it's opened in the morning, so I order an item and I wasted my time going, called and no one answers, then get a notification it's ready in the afternoon. terrible service from the girl (transfers phone without telling me first). manager Chris doesn't know how to answer the phone properly, just says "this is Chris," ummm, who are you? i don't know you, then tells me "don't come here" when I am pissed that I went and it wasn't opened. didn't try to fix anything, just took the easy way by hanging up the phone, that's not a way to run a business. be on time when it says it's opened or close the online ordering. be better. As you can see I placed my order and called at 11:33AM because it says it was opened at 11:20AM, but it wasn't when I got there. Yes, I used my reward that paid for my order, that should not make it for you to treat people bad. he answers the phone saying "this is Chris" like I'm supposed to know him, I was already talking to someone, explain to me why the phone was given to someone else abruptly. Didn't seem like you knew anything about the conversation, when I already explained myself to the worker, and no one was rude, by asking who are you! Yes, I am upset because it's a waste of my time after calling and being at the store where the door is closed and unopened. to Chris' reply: I can assure you that it was not opened, even the sign was not on, this is a lie as I have proof that this is not the case. I called 2 hrs after when my order said it was finally done AFTER calling the 1st time, again another lie. the lady staff spoke to me first, but didn't know how to handle the issue, so she then gave the phone to someone else, again another lie. never said you were the manager, just kept saying "i'm Chris" another lie. ofc i'm going to be upset because I was JUST speaking to someone, yet another lie. now you are attacking my character, cool...by speaking quote on quote nicely and calmly, but only repeating yourself and saying "I'm Chris" is not helpful. definitely could have explain yourself by saying "let me help you, I am the manager" but no, "i am Chris" is all that you kept saying. you think you were helpful, but in fact let me tell you, you were not in fact helpful. revise your times from your business to match the online ordering one. this would have been prevented if my order never went through and y'all were indeed open.

Bionicos
Mama C.

Got Escamocha medium size. Service good - we saw our order being prepared fresh. Great for pickup

This place has something for everyone. They are willing to modify and substitute any of their menu items with something of your choice (fruit). Loved the variety of menu options. They also sell classic thrifty ice cream, candy , soda, chips.... Most of their menu options also come in two sizes and they fill each one up! Store was clean and staff were very friendly. Located in the heart of uptown Whittier

Teresa E.

Friendly staff, latin antojitos like bionicos, esquites, licuados & tostilocos. Located right next to the Whittier Starlight Cinema. Looking forward to trying more menu items. I was craving churritos and they hit the spot, they even prepped them for me. Service was fast.

So I went to this sandwich place a few months ago and I was thinking, 'man, this place is really…read morecute with their wall of tinned fish, olive oil, and artisan foods. I just wish they had more T-shirt options because their sandwiches are so freaking good I'd wear their t-shirt' Hey. Guess what. They have more t shirt options now that are bad-ass. Can I say bad-ass? I just realized my entire review is about their merch...This time I got the curry chicken sandwich. I initially got it because curry chicken sandwiches always have a sweet element and most places do raisins or apples. Here, they did peach, and I was like, 'damn. I want to try this.' But when I bit into it, the star of the freaking show was the peppercini!! What!??! That vinegary balance with a tiny kick. Mmmm, yeah. Super good that I ate way too much in one sitting.

I've tried a few of their sandwiches and Spicy Gabagool…read moreSandwich is my favorite! Everything is well balanced and the spread is very tasty. Second favorite was the seasonal Pool Boy! Cream cheese and potato chips? Somehow it all worked. Sad it is gone. My coworkers love the Prime Rib and BBQ Brisket. I don't recommend the Tuna Salad Sandwich or the Italian. Tuna was dry and the Italian had heavy amounts of olives. We order delivery at 11:AM and don't normally get our sandwiches until 1:30PM. Wait is probably even longer if you are there in person.

PRO-TIP: Download the app because not only can you order ahead of time, access freebies and promos,…read morebut by signing up, you immediately get 2 ube beignets which are around $7. I remember Shootz carrying all of Rodeo X, but it's clear that this is one of the favorite spots for Rodeo 72 with many people picking up to go orders here and waiting in line to get their dinner, as well as me seeing a lot of people eating their delicious katsu throughout our walk through of this food hall. Although the app does give you a time estimate, it's still slightly off, especially with how popular they are, so keep that in mind, but staff are grinding and doing their best. The cashier ran back in forth to take orders, fulfill the completed orders, and then went back into the kitchen to help them cook and pack too. Hard working! My friend and I got the: 1) Creme Brulee Musubi: -A staple for any Hawaiian spot and this is a unique and tasty twist. -It's a grilled spam musubi topped with green onion, their signature kimchi butter and brûlée'd brown sugar. -Great mix of salty, sweet, and savory. I can probably eat several of these in 1 setting if I'm not paying attention. 2) Mac Salad: -I wasn't going to get this to start with, but I had this at their other location when I ordered a plate, so I was immediately swayed when I was mobile ordering. -Deliciously thick mac salad, made with shredded tuna (don't see this very often), mashed boiled eggs and macaroni. Generous amount of paprika on top too. Very creamy, and rich. Can't go wrong with a good mac salad. 3) Ube Beignets: -Comes out steaming hot, yummy ube filling. Sweetness to me mostly came from the powdered sugar surprisingly. I love beignets, so this was a no brainer to how good it was going to be. If you're brave you can shove the whole thing in your mouth, if you want to enjoy it, probably around 2-3 ites. Second time having Shootz. Delicious Hawaiian style food. Simple menu, indulgent, and if you have too much of it too often (that kimchi butter man), it's not good for you, but man is it delicious!
