    Receipt. Kimberly E was rude and did not want to refund me for my missing food.

    Don't come here. They will steal from you. On 3/23/26 at 7:54 PM, I ordered one Saltado de Vegetal AND one side of fries. The Saltado de Vegetal should have come with fries, but they made it without fries for some reason. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until I got home so I called the restaurant and let them know that I was missing fries and could be back in 2 mins to pick them up. The girl I spoke to on the phone verified that there should have been fries in the Saltado de Vegetal. She said that the cook made a mistake and must have thought I wanted fries on the side instead of in the Saltado de Vegetal. Therefore I was still missing a side of fries that I was charged for. She offered a discount for the next time I come in, but I was still charged for French fries that I didn't have and she stated she would not refund me because they were closed. (I called at 8:14 PM and the sign says they close at 9 PM). She stated the hours on their signs were wrong, she couldn't help me, then hung up. When I called back, straight to voicemail. I used to come here often to support because they never had customers, but now I see why. They will steal from you. According to the receipt, the server's name was Kimberly E.

    The Inka Spot is a Peruvian restaurant in Whittier. Smash Tuesday $5 Special; you get 1/4 chicken with one side . They are famous for the Tallarín Verde with Lomo Saltado. This is Creamy Pesto topped off with Peruvian beef stir fry. Saltado Camaron with fried rice. This dish comes with shrimp stir fry with fried rice. If you love fried rice, try it with shrimps. The Pescado frito with rice and salad is a Fried Fish with garlic steam rice and salad. The fried fish with rice is huge and buttery. Whole pollo with fries & salad comes with rotisserie chicken served with fries and salad. The chicken plate with rice or fries are completely delicious. The jalapeño creamy sauce is complimentary and tastes so good with beef or chicken. Service is friendly and cozy atmosphere. The location in a food hall offers a lively vibe.

    Was craving Peruvian food and decided to give Inka Spot a try which is located in Rodeo 72. Each dish is served with a side of aguadito. aguadito rating: 5/5 super flavorful and delicious tallarin w/chicken: 2/5 it was okay at best? Wasn't super impressed because the noodles felt like spaghetti textured ones and not the typical ones I've had in a tallarin dish before. lomo saltado w/chicken: 4.5/5 Delish! Fries were well seasoned and tasty, good chicken portion. overall: The tallarin w pollo wasn't really as flavorful as I'd hoped and needed all of the extra salsa provided added in to provide spice and flavor.

    Peruvian food  so good

    Love Peruvian food and this place hits the spot, the chicken is delicious! The cashier was great in recommending dishes to try and made me feel so welcome. Also a plus that they're inside a food hall where there are cool little places to sit & enjoy the entertainment.

    soup (that I didn't order) that turns out has  the cilantro rice in it.

    Got there today @ 12:40pm. Not a person near the place. (that should have been my first clue.) I ordered the 1/2 rotisserie chicken combo that is advertised @ $15. After ordering one small side salad i see the $31 charge. The extra charges were kind of explained... i guess..? i bit the bullet and then waited and waited and waited...Meanwhile the one worker is literally standing there doing nothing but playing on her phone...for 20 min. Tried to get her attention she just kept looking down. There was no other customers that even stopped by! Finally i get the food. The chicken looked tasty but turned out lacking in taste ...like bland. Then i see the 'cilantro rice' and it's basically soup!! lol I ask for some extra sauce and get told it's another .50 for the smallest portion 1 oz.? the pinto beans were fine but the whole experience was a disappointing and i will never go back to that place especially in light of the fact that there are so many other options here. Much better. I guess I'm just disappointed that I picked the worst place! :(. Beware!

    Their chicken is very bland. The mango drink I got from their was also very thick; didn't like it. I won't order from there again.

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!

Our waitress, though I forgot her name, was exceptional. She greeted us when we sat at the table and gave us some good recommendations on what to try. I had the chilaquiles verdes with carne asada and they were really good! I don't usually have green chilaquiles but these were excellent. The salsa had the right amount of flavor in it paired with some potatoes and beans. I also felt it was a very big portion of food, especially for what we paid. I would say I definitely want to come back to try some of the other items on the menu here. The menu was massive with so many different things to try and it all looked really good. Everyone right down to the owner and the Bussers were super friendly and said goodbye to us as we left. It was a very heartwarming experience and that type of hospitality goes a really long way!

    This place charges $1 for paying with Debit card. I'm surprised no body has reported them yet…read more Debit is just like cash. Under the Durbin Amendment this is prohibited. I told the man that charged me that was not okay to do. He just said that was part of the machine. Which I know it's not lol I ended up just paying cash. To avoid anything and walk out. You might think it's just $1 but with many transactions that adds up. And it is illegal to charge fees on Debit card transactions. Food was okay. I had chilaquiles with asada and I give them a 5/10. I was expecting something different but it's just typical food you get any Mexican restaurant. The coffee was nothing but water. I like a good coffee with breakfast and that coffee was so watered down I give it a 1/10 lol

There is two sections the front and back, the front is where you dine in or sit at the bar, the back is where folks play board games, not my thing but looks fun. We sat down and were greeted quickly. The waiter was very attentive and gave recommendations ect., they have a monthly special based on a fun character. There are tvs playing game streams (not sports). I ordered a smash burger w/ sweet potato tots. The smash burger came with two patty's, lettuce, tomato, pickles, cheese and the tots came with a unique smoky flavored sauce, it was surprisingly delicious and executed perfect. I really enjoyed the meal and the price was very fair. Not your regular spots bar, it's a gammer bar restaurant with delicious food, recommended if you're a local who wants great food in a quiet ambience without all the screaming and yelling a sports bar gives.

Every dish that came out was crafted with intention--you can taste the quality, the creativity, and the consistency. Nothing felt rushed, nothing felt basic. It's the kind of place where you go thinking you'll try a few things and end up wanting the whole menu. And let's talk about the drinks... perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and actually memorable. Not just your typical cocktails--these are the kind you come back for. Service was just as impressive. Attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell the team cares about the experience, not just turning tables. I'm new to really exploring more spots around Whittier, and I can confidently say--this is one of those places you keep in rotation. Whether it's a date night, night out with friends, or just pulling up solo at the bar, it hits every time. Do yourself a favor--go check out Guildhall. Thank me later.

My food was so good and made fresh. I also like how they put the salad dressings on the table and baked potatoes sides so you can get what you want. They also make a mean homemade sour cream that is scrumptious!!! The presentation for the lobster and baked potato is impressive!! I was definitely intrigued!! FYI: they also give you unlimited salad !! You love chocolate cake? Well this is the place to get it!!! I had the chocolate layer cake and it was greaattttt like Tony the Tiger would say!! It was warm soft and melted in my mouth!! I'm not a dessert girl but like I said I wanted to all I could since it was the weekend...you know, work hard play hard :) For my drinks, yes I said drinks lol...it's Saturday!! I tried the espresso and raspberry lemon drop martini and they were great, not too sweet and you can definitely taste the alcohol. I highly recommend their cocktails and they have so many and they get a lot of new ones so ask your waiter which ones that they do have for that day you go. Also, which is very imperative, the service was outstanding. We had the pleasure of having Alberto and he was beyond perfect. He was very attentive, came back the whole time didn't mess up our order and was very patient and had a really good heart. He recommended great suggestions on the menu.
