Restaurants in Whittier

“You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, with that said I love to try a different item on it everytime I get a chance to stop by. Taste and quality are always on point. It's awesome to see the staff having a blast together with great music in the background making the experience feel fun even when there's a wait. Pricing is perfect as the portions are generous and the flavors are like to other. So happy to see this business growing as I look forward to seeing them all over the nation one day. Keep serving it up #TYQ!”

“We went to the Newport Beach location a couple of weeks ago. This was my first time ordering an acai bowl. The staff was very helpful and patient when I was building my bowl. Overall, from the time we walked in to the time we left, the staff was extremely friendly and nice.”

“First time visiting and staff is very friendly. Samantha helped me out as I was undecided with all the delicious options. I ordered the 2 Quesabirria taco plate. It came with rice, beans and consume. So delicious I order another to go. lol (Don’t judge me #foodlover). The restaurant is clean but was a bit warm. Had an AC on but in this heat, it was still a bit warm. Gave atmosphere 4 stars for that reason. Otherwise, very nice and chill spot. Samantha was great and very tentative.”

“Great food! Highly recommend!”

“Literally one of the best cheeseburgers I’ve ever had. They delivered 25 min after my order was placed. Fries were still crispy!!! Very delicious.”

“Whenever we are in the area, we come to Rey’s for breakfast!! Good food and super friendly staff!!!”

“I feel like I discovered this place - I saw about Puffy Tacos years ago but I’d never had one. And then “I” discovered Arturo’s! OMG! I’m here once to twice a week! Next week I’m bringing friends!”

“Food was delicious. Ordered “The Hulk” and a Pineapple Express. Owner clearly cares about the environment which was clean and orderly. You could feel how much pride everyone took in making quality food. Will be back with others!”

“Good food and friendly atmosphere. a bit cold. in there tho”

“Great date spot, sure to impress! The katsu has a rich flavor and superior texture, melt in your mouth with a layer of crunch. The Matcha Yuzu Ade was so good my partner and I started making our own at home. Kind staff as well, we sat at the booth and it was fun watching the kitchen. I live far away from this place but otherwise would be a regular.”

“Pizza is amazing extra cheese is amazing .
Crust is amazing highly recommended very nice family owned business. Definitely will return soon. Prices are worth the experience 18.99 with tax for XL pizza with 3 toppings .”

“What happened to Georgette and her husband and Dimitri Georgette's brother?”

“muy buena comida y exelente servicio”

“I have been to Off the Hook several times. Each time with different friends and we have always had a good experience. The food is very good and fresh, the portions are reasonable (not too large, not too small) service is courteous.”

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!”

“A variety of choices in drinks and all of them I’ve had so far are great. Can get a little busy but definitely worth a try. Not very much seating so more of a grab and go place.”

“It was wonderful and the food was delicious. The prices are very affordable. I will be coming back!”

“An excellent dining experience. From the moment we entered the restaurant to the time we left it was top tier. Service was excellent, cocktails were perfect and the food was delicious.”

“Best Bar in Whittier!! Amazing bartenders!!”

“Definitely going back food was amazing”

“By far the best food from a food truck I’ve ever had. This is my go to and staff already know my order when I walk up. Staff is also amazing and genuinely want you to have a great experience. My favorite dining in the area for sure.”

“Excellent place and great dining”

“Great place with plenty of variety.”

“Wow… I have been wanting to bring home dinner from Steve’s after work, and I was finally able to time it right. The food was unbelievable!
The flavor of the brisket was perfect and so tender. The twice baked potato was the best that I have ever had. They were very kind when I picked up my food, and the restaurant looked so beautiful inside. I will be back hands down!”

“Bingo and the Los Angeles Dodgers!”

“I've been coming to El Buen Gusto ever since it was in Pico Rivera on Slauson. I moved down to Laguna Beach when I was 18 and had not been back since. I was up on the Whittier side of town and saw this place. A lot of memories resurfaced and decided to stop for old time sake.
Our hostess was very welcoming, warming, attentive and funny. However she didn't know what non-fat water and gluten free ice was. Nonetheless, I ordered the Chilaquiles. The presentation and taste of my meal was something similar to what my grandma or my mom would plate. I'm glad I stopped by, I don't make it up here to this side of town that often yet my next trip up here will definitely warrant stopping by for a quick meal.
For those who live close by you're extremely fortunate to have El Buen Gusto in your neighborhood.
As for location they are located at the southeast corner of Beverly and Norwalk Blvd's. It's not that far off the 605 frwy. If you're heading east on Beverly Blvd it's on the right just as you cross Norwalk. If you're directionally challenged, it's right next door to weeny-dog.
You can't go wrong with the comfort food of El Buen Gusto.
Tell them I sent you....”

“Nice spot, service very friendly, they jam on good music I got me a double up fruit cup it was so good you gotta try it”

“We tried this little bar while we were visiting friends in the Uptown Whittier area. It's an eclectic little cocktail lounge with speakeasy vibes. We loved the decor and the ambience was great with dimmed soft red lights that made the place very relaxing. They had happy hour going on and we tried the queso con chorizo dip. It came really hot so it was watery and when we tried it, it was oily and mushy. However, once it cooled, the dish was solidified and the flavors really merged and popped- the oaxaca cheese, poblano peppers, and chorizo really blended together into a delicious dish. I highly recommend you try it! They have specialty drinks but carry a full bar and can make many other drinks. I really enjoyed their specialty drinks although they were very small. We spent about an hour there, then headed to dinner with friends. The staff was great and attentive. They were very nice and really explained their menu. It was a cute little place that were definitely visiting again when we're in town.”

“Beautiful ambiance Good Food and Good Drinks The GM Alex was very friendly and hospitable Thank You Alex We will be back!”

“This should be a five star rating. The food was excellent. However, they need to make a better quality Bloody Mary. There was no celery, no olives and no bacon. It is about presentation folks. Plus they used that Tajin stuff instead of salt. Thus only four stars. Make me a better BM and I will give five stars.”

“love the food and service is great”

“i had the dinner special yellow curry with pork. it has carrots and potatos in it! it also comes with rice and a salad :) cheap and filling! also if your like me and dont really like heat then get the mild option. its tolerable!”

“Teresa our server was very attentive to us and we enjoyed the food and the service.”

“I ordered the Chicken & Beef bento box for myself and the Chicken & Beef teriyaki plate for my partner. Food was flavorful and delicious overall. The miso soup that came with the bento box was a little on the salty side. The beef also felt a bit in the salty side, but the chicken was perfect. Both meats also had a smokey flavor that was excellent. Will definitely return!”

“I love Meatball Pho here. It's really good👍 and staff so nice”

“todo espectacular, desde el ambiente, el servicio.. y la comida deliciosa!”

“I gotta say that this was my very first experience & it was totally amazing! The workers were very polite & amazing! And i really recommend this spot! I will honestly be coming back soon! Thank you for this experience!”

“We love going there at least 3 to 4 times a week everyone is really friendly and welcoming especially the manager Velia Campos she told me about the air oven and we love the chicken highly recommend Whittier Denny’s”

“Alejandra has been our server for years! She is exceptional in remembering our orders! She’s one of the best servers at the Washington Blvd location! She keeps us coming back!”

“I stopped by the Carl’s Jr. right off the 605 freeway in Whittier to grab something small to eat, and I’m so glad I did. Adriana provided amazing service—she was patient even though I took a little long to order, and her friendly, welcoming attitude made a great impression. Her positive energy really stood out. I’ll definitely be coming back! Thank you Adriana”

“Magaly & Eduardo, I want to thank you for our belated Valentine's Day dinners that we had on Monday, Feb. 21st. My husband and I both ordered the 4 Course Dinners for the 1st time. Considering that I had the steak, chicken, and shrimp, & the salmon dinner, they were all cooked to perfection. Thanks again for your attentiveness!”

“Food is great, but prices are too much. You pay what you will pay at El Torito or El Pescador but without servers. They need to bring the prices down. Not coming back”

“I've been coming here for over 20 years. It doesn't disappoint. It has been a reliable and faithful lil hole in the wall since my late night partying, clubbing, or barhopping days. Great place when you want to munch on some good Mexican food. Atacor is a true gem that has a special place in my heart. Their salsa is one of a kind and kicks up any dish here. If you're hungry, try the Super Burrito it's worth it!”

“The food was sloppy but good. The device I had to wait and wait for my burger to cook I guess cuz he came back with my drink and said we are waiting on your burger. The fries were a bit cold and the burger sloppy but the soda was good.”

“Desayuno en Jack in the Box 3 días a la semana, y siempre el personal me atiende de lo mejor, no tengo queja alguna, son muy amables, y hablan muy educadas a la gente.”

“Food is good but customers service is bad they sound unhappy and mad I like the food but sometimes I think twice of coming to this location because of the customers service”

“Gracias por su eficiencia y ubicación…”

“The Best Service ever, the Only Mc Donald’s the I have seen with Great customer service the Employees are Awesome”

“AFTER HEARING ABOUT NEW YORK BAGELS TODAY WAS THE DAY I TRIED😋 DELICIOUS 😋 VERY FRIENDLY TOO! FELLOW CUSTOMERS SHARED THERE FAVORITE BAGEL ON THE MENU...BREAKFAST BAGEL! WE WILL BE BACK!”

“Was it horribly hungry but wanted something and they told me about their special. We get half of any of their sandwiches, fries and a soup, I had the potato soup and it was so thick and cheesy. I used it as a dip. Price was inexpensive considering you're sitting out with someone taking care of you. Very impressed. Ate the soup and fries first. So they're not in the picture.”

“Amazing tacos, best cabeza and tripas tacos. The salsa is always so good, not too spicy. Friendly service, quick service. I wish they would put some tables outside to enjoy the sun.”

“Well…. I give the servers high marks and the food was good, but the kitchen was so slow! We hit the hour mark and were just about to walk out, and the server finally came with out food. Beer was ok. The server was nice and comped our beer and soda. Still y’all. An hour for food is too long.”

“This place lets you try burgers from around the world. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. They’re family owned and operated and I got their Cuban fries, chihuahua burger, and Colombian burger. The fries are cut and fried in house and were a bit soggy but had plenty of gooey cheese, ham, and grilled onions and had good potatoey flaves. The chihuahua burger had a meaty patty, buttery bun, rich chorizo, creamy nutty avocado, gooey savory cheese, nutty crunchy lettuce, and bright cilantro. Could maybe use something acidic like a salsa cuz it does get a bit rich. The Colombian burger also had a good patty and bun and had a sweet pineapple jam, cheese that kinda got lost in there, and crunchy fresh coleslaw. Was kinda getting more Thai vibes from this one for some reason but am lowkey so here for it. Overall this place is lowkey pretty good.

Chihuahua burger $7.95
Colombian burger $7.95
Cuban fries $6.95”

“so far everything I've tried has been delicious!”

“The curry and masala are amazing at the Fullerton location! I will be back this week for lunch. Oh, and ordering online was so easy :) thank you!!”

“I ordered a Spanish latte frap with an extra shot of espresso and tasted nothing like coffee. I asked staff if they did put the extra shot of espresso said they did but felt they weren't really trying to resolve it really, i just wanted them to either remake or get a different coffee,but other coffee was good hazelnut iced latte.”

“The Birria ramen and quesobirria tacos are absolutely delicious! Fresh salsa bar and fresh grilled onions. Delicious, fresh aguas frescas horchata and Jamaica. Great service and friendly employees. All the Whittier locals love this place!”

“I got the Toasted Honey Latte and it was so good! I got this as a recommendation and I am so glad I tried this coffee. The service was fast and the environment was conversational.”

“Yo shout out to @Hunter Gonzales 🙌... I've been looking for a pizziaria 🍕 that reminds me of Pizzamania and it's been a mission. I can honestly say the searching is over. Not only did they make it like how it was asked, it was freaking delicious 😋👍💯”

“We love Joy. My family have been regulars for many many years. Food is awesome. Service is great, servers friendly. Only bummer, when we, as a family, went to celebrate my birthday on Saturday, we presented a gift certificate my husband & I were gifted from my Kids. It was issued at the end of 2019, expired at the end of 2020. Because of Covid we did not venture out until late last year. They did not not honor it. A little bit of a disappointment, but not going to keep us from frequenting our fav local sushi restaurant.”

For being a Japanese restaurant this food is very tasty, the only thing is that they will serve your food in to go plates. Understandable, but if you are craving something with a lot of variety very good food, healthy and good in nutrients I have to recommend you this place. Also, if you are on a diet this place have the BEST fresh produce you can imagine so gymbros and gym girls do not miss this place 👍✅”

We tried the Spicy noodle dish with chicken which was tasty with a forgiving spice to it.

Beans made from scratch!! They specialize in authentic tacos, Mexican soups, menudo and pozole & a variety of Mexican comfort foods you'll love.

Taqueria Carnitas Sahuayo brings a taste of Michoacán!! The Carne de Puerco con Chile is pure flavor — tender pork in a deep red chili sauce that’s both rich and bold. The fried queso quesadilla was ridiculously cheesy, the adobada burrito packed with saucy goodness, and that flan… SO creamy!! Don’t miss out on the agua de Jamaica!! Bold, tangy, and refreshingly floral!! Insanely refreshing!!

Every bite is hearty, rich with flavor and a taste of Michoacán that’s a definitely crave-able!!

Wonderful customer service from Juan and Javier!!”
