Tlayuda
Jennifer S.

Went here with a friend. We got lucky with the parking because there was 2 spots open. They have live band Friday night and Sunday morning. If you're trying to go then... be prepared to park on the street. Very narrow spots. The inside is absolutely beautiful!! The lights, decor, seating, 10/10. Our drinks were really good too! Only reason 4/5 was because tlayuda I'm pretty picky about since I use to date someone Oaxacan. Although it should be crispy I think it was a bit tooo crispy (hard). The beans and toppings were rlly good. They also gave you 3 salsas on the side which made up for some flavor missing. I'm looking forward to coming back tho!! My friends plate looked amazing.

Had to update my review since I came back to visit recently. The food was delicious and the molcajete was flavorful and had plenty of food to share. Highly recommend! The live music was such a nice experience as well!

I really liked the atmosphere here -- it had such a nice vibe. I overheard someone say they're normally not this busy, so they were kind of scrambling trying to make everything work, which honestly makes sense since it was Valentine's Day. I originally saw this place on TikTok, and my boyfriend decided to bring me here for V-Day They had a special Valentine's menu, which was really cool. There weren't any tacos, which my bf wanted, but realistically tacos aren't very Valentine's dinner vibes, so I think it was a smart move. They also had a super cute little photo op section in the back, which was such a fun touch. Food-wise, everything was really good. The mole chips were super unique and actually really good. The queso fundido was DELICIOUS -- like, no notes. The tlayuda was really good and would definitely order it again. The margarita was yummy. The enchiladas were also really good, and I was surprised by how much I liked the red sauce which normally I'm 100% for the green saice. The food was also more Oaxacan-style than I'm used to, but it was delicious regardless. Shoutout to our waiter Kenneth -- he was amazing. Super friendly, kept light conversation with us, and made us feel comfortable, like we were just chatting with a friend. Overall, such a great Valentine's dinner experience. Would definitely come back

Good spot for brunch. Loved their mole. it was definitely their own flavor of mole, different and delicious. Cute little corner spot off of Whittier blvd, the inside is nicely decorated reminds of day of the dead vibes. We were the first ones there when they opened. Served us right away, helpful in telling us what were the best items to order and drinks that were good. they also serve coffee and cafe de olla.

Taquitos Dorados
Ada J.

A delicious meal here! My shrimp plate was so juicy, delicious rice. The taquitos were crunchy and so good. Loved the little bit of black beans under the taquitos. The service was so attentive and friendly. There was live music which made the meal more memorable. The parking lot is a little small but there's street parking too. Such a great meal. Loved everything.

Awesome experience! Thanks to Eugene the owner and staff. We came on a Friday night for happy hour 2-6pm. They had a live music which was super entertaining. Food was delicious. Great ambiance overall. We loved the Calidad beer and mango margaritas. We ordered the following and everything was yummy! Ceviche Citrus marinated fresh Basa fish tossed with tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, red onion and avocado. Served with plantain Chips Carne Asada USDA Choice outside skirt steak served with rice, veggies, Oaxacan beans, potato taquito with coloradito mole and oaxacan cheese, grilled cambray onion, grilled jalapeno, grilled panela cheese and chimichurri Queso relleno Tortilla soup Asada tacos Calidad Mango margarita

The food tasted great, and the ambiance was fine. However, the parking is very small (only one driveway to get in and out), and the portion that you get for the high price of the food is small. $33 for a small piece of carne asada meat, plus one taquito with rice and beans? I just found out that tortillas are not included. I was offered some handmade tortillas without being told that they charged four dollars for three handmade tortillas. I think the waiter should mention that before putting the order through. Overall, the food and ambience are decent to pretty good. However, the portion size to the cost of it is not so good. If you don't mind paying extra for these portions, then by all means come down. Since I have a family of four I won't be coming back anytime soon. Plus they were out of the lamb, which is what I wanted to order.

Ensalada De SOL
Danny V.

This amazing Oaxacan Mexican restaurant delivers bold, authentic flavors straight from southern Mexico. From rich mole to handmade tortillas every dish bursts with tradition and heart. The vibrant décor and warm hospitality make it a true culinary escape to Oaxaca. Parking is a bit tough, but it's worth it. Great service, especially when the owner brings you the table chips.

Crystal R.

The ambience is super cute in there, probably one of the cutest I've seen in a really long time.. Caso Fundo was really good. I enjoyed the homemade tortillas. Drinks were good. They had live music .

We were looking for a new small business to suppoet for happy hour. we looked on Yelp and the restaurant website for Sol 626 and both claimed to have a happy hour Friday 2-6 with live music. We sat at the bar and were notified there was neither and that the menus were being printed and laminated with new prices. There was another couple at the bar who were also there for happy hour and were disappointed. We stayed anyway for 2 overpriced cocktails. I expected they would honor the happy hour prices since it was just 2 drinks and their bad, but they didn't. Poor customer service and awful way to keep customers coming back.

Food 4.5/5 Service 5/5 Definitely stood out as the only asians in the restaurant HAHA, means it's authentic! Our waiter was so kind and lovely too! Food was good, learned mole isn't 100% my thing, fine to eat, but I'll try something different. Drinks were decent, Appetizer, 2/3 were liked. Unique items / sauces. Was live music playing. Parking is a little difficult but just park next door at the gym where the signs are.

Mago Al Cielo -hibiscus margarita

Authentic delicious Mexican Food Cute aesthetic Great cocktails Live music Comfy seats When we walked in on a Friday around 7pm, it was kinda empty, so naturally I questioned if I had made the right choice for my mother's birthday dinner. Turns out, it was a great choice! Only thing that could've been better for me was for the server to be a bit more attentive. Not a big deal though. I would definitely go back and probably will in the near future. Live music Fridays after 7pm and Sundays 11-3. The duo is grea. I would love to just sit at the bar area and have cocktails while listening to them sing.

Happy hour! Monday-friday 2-6

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

Melontini (4/5) - This drink was spirit forward and came with a cute melon ball on the side. I slightly wish it was a little fruitier.

Caesar salad (4/5) - this was your classic Caesar salad that accompanied our pasta perfectly. Fried zucchini (5/5) - I love that the zucchini was sliced and crispy. 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.
