    Found myself in Norwalk and came across this place with a huge menu selection and a bomb happy hour menu (mon-thurs 3-7pm for the food selection) I asked the server what I should get and he was so sweet and recommended one his fav dishes the enchilada suiza, basically wrapped chicken in a creamy tangy green sauce. The sauce was different than what I've had in other places so it was a very fun try! It was so savory yet so tangy and complimented the juicy chicken filling well. I also would have to say I was really impressed by the rice. It was bursting with flavorful and the perfect consistency. The refried beans are something I usually pass on but I cleaned this whole plate up this time. Notes: free chips and salsa (with a nice kick)

    Tortillas (handmade)

    Angel took care of us in the bar area. I had a tamarita which is a tamarind infused margarita . The tortillas were warm and freshly made . This is by far one of my favorite Mexican restaurants to dine in at . Don't skip on the appetizer soup it's good and has a shrimp . Also if you like sports they do have big screens in the bar area .

    Ordered for pick up for my family and the service was good very kind hostess. The place was clean and lit well with tv to watch games and music to enjoy your meal. We ordered the kids burger and the buns were burnt. Not ideal for a toddler, I ordered pollo en crema chipotle and it was delicious, perfectly seasoned and well balanced. My mom got an enchilada roja de pollo with a chile relleno, it was good but the relleno sauce was not seasoned enough and had a spaghetti sauce taste. I got an horchata that was pretty good

    Always a busy restaurant. Went in for happy hour. Had a great experience. The food and prices were great. Ordered taquitos, tacos gobernador, and baja style with ceviche on the side. Also ordered a carne asada burrito. All the dishes were sized to share and we left fulfilled. Service was great and prompt. For this overpriced Mexican food establishment, happy hour is the way to go if you are on a budget.

    Went here on a Tuesday night. Plenty of seating and restaurant has a bar area. They have their own parking space. Serving size is huge and good for sharing. They have a pretty good selection of Mexican food. Service is ok. Definitely worth a try.

    Great food and great service at this restaurant in the city of Norwalk with plenty of parking on the side and back of the restaurant.. Their chips and salsa were very tasty and the food was yummy with big portions. They have great Happy Hour deals too.. I look forward to returning to this place so I can try out different items on their menu in the near future.

    Their happy hour is the best! Great deals and great food. Service is always fast. The servers and hosts always go above and beyond to male you feel welcome. A family of 4 can eat for under $60 from the happy hour menu and the plates are just the right amount. It can get pretty loud in there when theyre busy because of their open floor plan and high ceilings.

    Why doesn't this restaurant have 5 stars all across the board?! I usually go to the Long Beach location but this one was closer to my parent's house in Downey. Their usual spot closed down so I had to take them to my all time fave. I'm drooling just thinking of the food. This location is so new and pretty. Thank you for the great service and making my parent's first time so memorable.

    Not the best experience compared to every other time we have visited this location. The esquites and tres leches cake were delicious. Not what I expected, quality of service and food has gone down.

    Authentic machaca and beans were so good. Coffee was delicious. Waiter was very attentive, fast and friendly. Good music in the background. Not loud. Was able to carry a conversation.

This place instantly became one of my favorites after just one visit. From the moment you walk in, the whole vibe hits you--the moody, neon-lit ambiance sets the tone perfectly. It feels elevated, a little edgy, and honestly just the kind of spot you want to spend your night at. The music is curated so well. Not too loud, not too mellow--just the right balance where you can vibe, have a conversation, and still feel the energy of the room. You can tell they actually care about the experience, not just throwing a playlist together. Now let's talk about the drinks... because that's really where they shine. Every cocktail feels intentional and crafted with care. You can taste the quality immediately--nothing watered down, nothing basic. They have a really cool mix of classic cocktails and modern twists, and even the familiar drinks feel elevated. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every round because you trust the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. Service was on point too. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain drinks and made great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. I came in not knowing what to expect, and left already planning my next visit. If you're in Uptown Whittier and looking for a spot with great energy, amazing cocktails, and a full vibe--The Vandalist is it. Thank me later

As we went in we were greeted by a hostess and were seated right away at the bar area as requested. The bar was not busy but there were people there also eating, the dining area was pretty busy and the service was pretty quick. The restaurant has a nice modern Mexican style look, they were playing bad bunny and other similar Spanish music and the sound system was good and not too loud. I order the black aquachiles which were pretty bomb and not too spicy, it was served with onions, avocado, black hot sauce and tostadas. My wife ordered the tacos gobernador and they were served in a wooden board and a side of some really good spicy Serrano chile. We had beer as well. Pretty good restaurant, they have definitely improved since the last few times I've been there in the past during covid. I would recommend this restaurant.

I come here regularly--about twice a month--and have even celebrated my birthday here, so I felt confident in what to expect. When my husband and I arrived and asked for the happy hour menu, we were told it was not being offered "because it's Cinco de Mayo." While I obviously knew the date, there was absolutely no indication anywhere online or during booking that happy hour would be canceled. That was really frustrating and felt misleading. If there are exceptions to regular specials, especially on a day that might bring in more customers, that should be clearly communicated ahead of time. It doesn't make sense to remove happy hour entirely without offering any alternative promotions--if anything, I would expect more incentives on a day like this. We ended up leaving without ordering because the experience started off on the wrong foot. Disappointing, especially since this has been a go-to spot for us in the past.
