I came here for lunch, and it did not disappoint. I had a birria taco, esquite (corn), and a large horchata. The taco was delicious, the esquite was very tasty (I did have to remove the mayo as I am not a fan), and the horchata was good and refreshing. The female employee who assisted me with my order was very friendly and hardworking. Located in the Rodeo 72 food court, this small restaurant was very clean, well-maintained, and fully stocked with everything guests need to complement their meal. read more

Immediately, I got suckered in by their Halloween esquites. I'm a sucker for seasonal things, especially for Halloween themed snacks and goodies, and both my friend and I love esquites so this was a double whammy for the both of us. I think the biggest warning was the AI slop menu picture items that they had but you know we had to give them the benefit of the doubt. They had aguas frescas, other Mexican snacks and drinks here and our food came out decently quickly where it looked like only 1 worker was working. We got the Jack Skellington Hot Cheetos esquites and it's a simple design so it mostly looked like the picture. Not too watery. Easy to eat and simple to make. Along with a large horchata that was pretty standard, not too sweet. Altogether with tax this was around $20 which is a bit of a steep price to pay, but at least the pictures were cute. read more

Tried 3 large aguas frescas,, lemon cucumber, mango passionfruit, and ube horchata. There was a pretty long line when we got there, but our drinks came out quickly since we didn't order any food. All three drinks were delicious and super refreshing without being overly sweet. The ube horchata was my boyfriend's favorite, while I really loved the lemon cucumber. The mango passionfruit was a little thicker and super sweet. Definitely a nice stop if you're in the area and want something refreshing. read more

This place looks refreshing. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. I got their super pretty purple ube horchata and ube coconut mini pancakes to try. The ube horchata was perfectly sweet, chilled, milky, cinnamony, and had those beautifully light vanillay nutty Ubey flaves that I love. Pure deliciousity. The mini pancakes were topped with plenty of fresh bananas, toasted shredded coconut flakes, sweet ube drizzle and were perfectly pillowy, chewy, and fluffy. Overall this place is pretty good. Ube horchata small $7 Ube coconut mini pancakes $10.99 read more

Date of visit: January 17, 2026 Selections: Hot Cheeto Esquite Dragonfruit Lemonade Experience: I was craving esquite after my husband mentioned that this location was selling some when he came back with an agua fresca that was Dragonfruit Lemonade for us to share and tacos for himself. The agua fresca was good, but the esquite was a bit lacking for me because all the toppings aka mayo, cheese, butter, and Cheetos were on the top and none of it was mixed in with the actual corn itself, which makes sense for the Cheeto bits to not be soggy. But even when mixing it all together, I just felt like it needed more mayo for me. read more

Ordered from their truck at the Venice Winter Fest after seeing how many Birria dishes they offered. I got the Birria Torta for around $20, not sure if prices were higher because it was a festival, but the portion was big and the flavor was solid. Service, however, was really slow. I asked for salsa and a to-go bag right when they handed me my food, and it felt like it took ages for them to bring it over, which was pretty frustrating. Overall, good food but the pricing and slow service make me unsure if I'd return. read more

Made a purchase yesterday on 08/20/2026 @6:53pm. I ordered 3 quesabirrillas. The salsa was bubbling which should've been my first sign to not eat here. It's 1:30AM and I woke up vomiting. Terrible food handling I'd be weary of any food from this location. read more

I'm basically a regular here at this point. I always end up stopping by, especially if there's even a tiny chance they have the Ube flavored Agua Fresca. That's always my first choice. If not, I'll grab a strawberry milk or the strawberry milk/watermelon combo to temper my cravings. I was obsessed with their mango colada, so I'm patiently waiting for that to make a comeback. Until then, the ube horchata and ube banana milk are my top two! I've tried a ton of things on their menu and everything has been good. The mini pancakes are always a win, especially the ube ones with vanilla ice cream and bananas aka that's my comfort order. The short rib plate was super flavorful, and when I just want a quick snack, the taquitos cup hits every time. I even went to their one‑year anniversary event and left with a whole bunch of their $1 churros because they were that good. No regrets. Everything here is consistently delicious, and I'm genuinely grateful this location exists because it's become my little treat-yourself stop. The workers are always super friendly and definitely remember me because I'm here so much. If you see me here again... mind your business. read more

Decide to check out the news about RODEO 72. Busy booming and a lot of people a multi selections of food and treats. Music is booming a mini restaurant too. We chose Mexican for our first time here. The Agua Fresca nicely displayed. I got the Birria burrito and my wife got the Birria queso taco combo. I got the Horchata damn just the right amount of cinnamon my wife the dragon fruit wow what a kick! We got our food nice Lil Plating consume nice and hot. And taste fresh. My wife's tacos were good had to get here to slow down. My burrito pretty good size and packed. Meat cooked well some salsa on the side green fresh and red spicy kick but not tongue burning. Counter staff very friendly POS is up to date A grade nice Lil pop up. I like the graphic widow it's see through so you can see the food being cooked. This establishment is worth the first time coming Price to product = 9 Plating = 8 Customer service = 9 Menu = 8 Cleanliness = 8 Atmosphere = 7 I probably will return food is great counter staff is great. Just need to try more on the menu to earn that 5 star. read more

Las Chelanguas is located in the Whittier Rodeo 72 food hall. It was a hot day so I decided to stop here for some refreshing agua fresca. Service was awful. We noticed items would sit at the window for a long time before the front of house staff would call the customer for pick up. They did not have a pager or texting mechanism unlike other places in this foodhall. They just call out your number so you'll have to stay nearby to listen for your number. One of the things that annoyed me the most was that we stood in line and the cashier WENT TO GET AGUA FRESCA FOR THE PERSON BEHIND US. What the heck?!?!?! And they had to be super slow in doing so. I should have left because the wait wasn't worth it. When she finally took our order, I had to decide on what Agua Fresca flavor at the cashier. NO SAMPLES! Whatttttt?? All other agua fresca places I've been to anywhere else in the world offers samples. And their selection was much more limited than other similar businesses. I ended up getting the 32oz Agua Fresca ($8) in a dragonfruit flavor. It was TOO SWEET even after the ice melted down. My boyfriend tried their Birria Taco ($3.50) and he didn't look too impressed. I wouldn't consider coming back here given so many other options in the area and really awful service. Hopefully they can make improvements for the future for the sake of their customers. read more

Service was horrible ! birria ramen was amazing but after i ordered a strawberry shortcake churro sundae, first of all, NO ICE CREAM, and then the cashier charged me extra for strawberries when i didn't ask for it i had just asked if it had strawberries in it. The cashier kept disappearing and coming back out going to the bathroom coming back out and then forgot about the ice cream she said she would give me because this is definitely not a churro SUNDAE. On top of that i had ordered dubai strawberries, it was basically just hard chocolate which came off the strawberries and strawberries it tasted like i was just eating strawberry no dubai and no chocolate. i mean the cashier was super nice and tried to fix everything but it's obviously frustrating read more

We stopped by the new storefront at Rodeo 72 and loved the agua fresca. Even though the place was new, the line was not too bad. We got our drinks fairly quickly after ordering. My wife and I ordered the cantaloupe and the watermelon flavors. Both were nice and cold, and refreshing. I particularly loved the small bits of fruit in each of our drinks, and the fact that the drinks did not taste overly sweet (like some of the other places at the food hall)! We would come here again to try the other flavors. read more

The tattooed girl at the register needs an attitude adjustment. I didn't appreciate the eye roll when I asked for my food to be to go. Also, they sent me home with semi fried birria tacos, old brown lemons slices and no red hot salsa. On top of that, it's $5 a birria taco. I will not be going back. read more

Saw this place on tik took and after trying it I have to say I love it, the staff is so nice and funny just like on tik tok.

Food is amazing! If my little one didn't say a word the entire time, she just ate... I know that biihhh was smackin!!!

BIRRIA QUESADILLA . I ordered the birria quesadilla and was absolutely blown away! The meat was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, with that deep, you only can get that from hours of slow cooking. The cheese was melty and gooey, with the perfect crispy, tortilla. The consommé. broth took it to a whole other level. totally addictive. Portion size was perfect, and it was served hot and fresh., this is comfort food at its finest. Highly recommend if you're craving something delicious and packed withflavor! read more

Las Chelaguas - Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Whittier, California

On Friday, 2/13/26, @ 1:14 p.m., I placed an order for a classic burrito @ Las Chelaguas located @ Rodeo72 food court & provided my cellphone # for order pick-up notification. Several minutes later, I received a message that my order was ready for pickup. When I approached the counter, the cashier stated that I had already picked up my order then realized her mistake and stated that she had accidently given my order to another customer. She apologized & immediately placed a second order. After several minutes I again was notified that my order was ready. She gave away my order a second time! She tried to offer me a taco in-lieu. I refused & said I ordered a burrito. I asked to speak with a manager or supervisor but was told they were too busy in the back cooking. I asked the cashier to cancel my order & refund my debit card. Of course she didn't know how to do that. Twenty minutes later my order finally came out & I received a rice-filled burrito. I'll NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN! read more
