“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!”

“Wow! I called today, Sunday, last minute for a party of 12. We were accommodated and seated within 30 minutes. Rashad the manager was our waiter. He was kind, personable, accommodating, just amazing. The staff that assisted Rashad also very nice. The food was outstanding. My party could not pick a favorite. However, we reordered the fried rice and Wagu Dumplings. You cannot go wrong with any item on the menu. The atmosphere is beautiful and intimate. Always a good time and great vibes. The owner is consistently pleasant and gracious. Highly recommend! Check out Nyx as well.”

“The food is really good!!! More specifically the beef bowl is delicious but its pricey roughly $15.00 for a regular bowl
and $20.00 large bowl.
Plus a drink gets over priced. But good food is expensive. If they adjust the prices this place could see way more volume.”

It was just unfortunate that I didn’t realize there were other drinks I could have ordered. The bites were all very tasty and filling too. Would definitely return to try out their full menu.”

“From the moment you approach the patio, you can tell the place is well cared for and thought out. Very clean inside with lots of energy put in by the owner to create an experience and place to relax and have a meal. When I complimented her on how the place looks, she said it's her mission to make it feel that way. It was toward the end of the evening so her and her son were taking trip after trip to keep all the patio plants alive during this heat wave. In an unassuming strip mall, with a touch of cute design to make it a cut above any other local Mexican restaurant worthy of any special occasion.”

“Cool little 24 hours spot, but what’s different about this place is the quality of food. The ingredients were fresh, and the meats tasted good. IMO the food tasted much more authentic than the other 24 hours spots I’ve been to (which I can’t mention bc they are actual names of people). Also, they have good Chorizo which is pretty hard to come by… pause.”

Coffee Shops • $
“Maverick Coffee in Whittier gets four stars from me!
The place is super cute—it's actually a bike shop that also features a coffee stall inside. Their menu is definitely limited; they don't have a lot listed, but they do offer a Thai iced tea. The tea is home-brewed, which is a really nice touch! They also have a refrigerator stocked with a few different kinds of canned sodas. No food!
The only real downside is that there is no seating available. It's strictly a get-your-drink-and-go kind of place, not a cafe where you can sit down and hang out for a while. On the plus side, parking is very easy. Since it's right on a street corner, there's quite a large parking lot, which I'm assuming is built to accommodate all the cyclists who ride over.
Overall, it was a nice experience and a cool spot to grab a quick drink!”

Barbeque • $$
“Just came by for a leisurely Labor Day early lunch and Manny did not disappoint. We ordered two #3 combos, so 6 meats and 8 sides for 4 people. We had the brisket, tri-tip, beef ribs, baby back ribs, pulled pork, and the chicken. For the sides, we had 3 smoked beans, potato salad, 2 cole slaw, and 2 mac salads. It was nothing short of a feast! The meats were well-smoked, flavorful, juicy, and Manny was as kind as he was generous and attentive. He threw in 4 free sodas, free bread, a free side (we went with an extra cole slaw), and threw on a free kielbasa as well! We couldn't finish everything and the food we took home would easily make for an extra meal for all of us. We drove all most an hour, in the rain, from Torrance; this was not our first dining experience here, and it was just this kind of generosity and service that we experienced the first time that brought us back and will continue bringing us back as long as he stays in business.
Many thanks again Manny, it definitely was the perfect way to kick off a relaxing Sunday; we came for good food, good service, a good experience overall and you did not disappoint. Much love and respect!”

“Went in for a peanut butter latte and pumpkin spice. Both were really good and well mixed. The service was really good they took their time explaining the menu. The place itself was super clean.”
Hawaiian • $
“I went to Aloha Stacks for breakfast on July 3rd. When I got there the line was out the door, but it moved pretty quickly. We ordered and got a table very easily. The food came very quickly and the wait staff was very attentive, checking to see if we needed anything several times. I had the chicken katsu and waffles and my companion had strawberry crepes and a side of kalua pork. All were delicious. It was very busy but they didn't rush us out. Parking is difficult...I parked on the street nearby.”
“Mama Wang's Pantry is a hidden gem! Great selection of quality loose-leaf teas, unique blends, and wonderful personalized service. The owner is friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to help you find the perfect tea. Defitely worth a visit.”
Chicken
“The chicken here is amazing! You can really taste how fresh it is, and it’s obvious they use fresh oil. Unlike many fried chicken places, there was no greasy or heavy aftertaste at all. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon!”

“I’ve made this a weekly stop! I’m hooked on the chile rellenos, calabacitas and rajas! The beans and rice are very good, as well. I tried the carnitas taco, it was delicious. The enchiladas were very tasty and meaty. My daughter loves the queso birria taco! It is a must try! BTW Fideo! Who serves fideo?? Yup! Amiga’s Cafe!!”

Barbeque • $$
“Just came by for a leisurely Labor Day early lunch and Manny did not disappoint. We ordered two #3 combos, so 6 meats and 8 sides for 4 people. We had the brisket, tri-tip, beef ribs, baby back ribs, pulled pork, and the chicken. For the sides, we had 3 smoked beans, potato salad, 2 cole slaw, and 2 mac salads. It was nothing short of a feast! The meats were well-smoked, flavorful, juicy, and Manny was as kind as he was generous and attentive. He threw in 4 free sodas, free bread, a free side (we went with an extra cole slaw), and threw on a free kielbasa as well! We couldn't finish everything and the food we took home would easily make for an extra meal for all of us. We drove all most an hour, in the rain, from Torrance; this was not our first dining experience here, and it was just this kind of generosity and service that we experienced the first time that brought us back and will continue bringing us back as long as he stays in business.
Many thanks again Manny, it definitely was the perfect way to kick off a relaxing Sunday; we came for good food, good service, a good experience overall and you did not disappoint. Much love and respect!”
“First time ordering and I was thoroughly impressed. My pizza was ready and waiting for me before schedule, the service was prompt and polite, and the food was delicious. Got a medium Margherita pizza and it was one of the best I've had. The crust is thin and crispy, and I can tell they're using quality ingredients. Additionally, they're pretty reasonably priced considering the cost of food these days. This will be my go-to pizza spot going forward.”
Thai
“My wife and I came here on a whim and we were pleasantly surprised. First time here and instantly turned into our new Thai go to restaurant. The food was excellent, huge portions, and great pricing. Good thing we came at 5pm because the crowd filled up the place pretty quickly. You can't go wrong here, just don't come for dinner rush hour!”

“If you’re craving authentic Mexican comfort food, this spot will hit every note. They offer a variety of traditional Mexican dishes! Homestyle meals with homemade corn tortillas! 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!!”
