Everything was good EXCEPT the STEAK.. No... Seriously…read more This was probably the biggest steak disappointment I've had in a while. The place comfy, the ambience is dark and bar-like, the drink vibes look chill, I have no complaints about the service. The service was good and the staff was nice. All this makes the steak disappointment that much worse for me. We ordered Ribeye and Shrimp Salmon Lobster Mac and Cheese Asparagus Lobster Roll (Sushi) A drink from the bar The Steak.. The steak came served on a cast-iron skillet. I ordered it medium-well. It arrived a little more medium than usual, but that was not an issue. What disappointed me was the puddle the steak was sitting in. Traditionally said puddle is a mixture of butter, thyme, and whatever seasonings you used on the steak when cooking it. In this case, that puddle was flavorless. It really tasted like the steak was just sitting in a flavorless oil. The steak was very bland, very difficult to think someone could send out a piece of meat out like that, especially when you find out what it costs. It was not worth it and not worth the final tab unfortunately. Really wanted to find a steak W for Downey but I don't see myself being interested in this place again.

I loved the black and white decor and dim lighting. The service was stellar. Our waitress was polite and attentive. She checked in on us often, laughed with us and assisted us in making the best food on the menu. She packed up our leftovers to go. The bartender and the staff that brought our food out had great attitudes. Now the food... the food was so freaking delicious. We order birria empanadas and Cameron Taquitos as an appetizer. The Cameron Taquitos were my favorite they were so delicious. For dinner we order the chicken and steak fajitas tender flavorful and delicious dish. The chicken and steak enchiladas looked good as well. The black bean were on another level. I generally dont like black beans but Diosas recipe took the cake. Overall we had a blast, thank you Diosa for taking care of us. I will definitely be back.

But overall the experience and atmosphere are amazing, I reminded them after I ordered myself a dessert and they brought me some nice ice cream and sparkler firework which was really cool and made up for it but I still had to pay for my dessert. The carne asada was too tough and chewy so don't order it. The smoked guacamole great, the empanadas great, the drinks great. Overall I would recommend if you could overlook a few service expectations.

I looked on yelp to find a local Mexican restaurant near my friends apartment. That led me to this…read moreestablishment. I was looking for two chicken tacos, two Carne Asada tacos, and a chicken burrito. They only serve their tacos in a three taco combination. The picture shows how plain and lifeless those tacos were. Each three taco combo was $26. No toppings, no rice and beans, and nothing to justify that price. On the menu, there was a long list of toppings that it was supposed to come with. They did not have Jamaica to drink, so I ordered watermelon and strawberry Agua Fresca's. When I was given my bag, they forgot to include the drinks, and I had to ask for them. My total was $77 and I regret leaving them an eight dollar tip on top of that. This place is a total rip off.

This is an established restaurant on Whittier Blvd in Pico Rivera just off the 605 fwy. It's…read morebetter to access the parking lot off Gregg Rd instead of the "main" entrance on Whittier which is easy to miss. Food is reasonably priced and tastes good. Obviously steaks but chicken and seafood are also ok the menu. We did the Sunday brunch for $49 which included bottomless mimosa, champagne, or fruit juices; a starter salad or parfait and a breakfast entree of your choice. I chose the sirloin steak and eggs. Very good value! Our server was excellent! She kept our drinks full and explained everything on the menu! She also went out of her way to meet all the requests from our large group (including our bill splitting request). Ambience is best described as dark. Not spooky or gothic; just no windows and lighting that requires you to use your phones as flashlights. For good food at a reasonable price with great service - highly recommended ; just bring a light with you.

I've become a regular here for multiple reasons:…read more 1) The ambiance can't be beat! Great music, ambient lighting, classic steakhouse vibes that are hard to find these days. 2) The servers! Tiffany always gives quick, friendly, excellent service at the bar and knows how to make a great cocktail. Her knowledge is extensive and varied, and I've never heard her say she doesn't know how to make a drink, no matter what has been presented to her. Even when they're slammed, Tiffany has never been short or rude or grumpy towards me or any other customer that I've seen. 3) The food: classic, huge portions. I always have enough leftovers for a second meal later in the day or the following day. I love this establishment and hope it remains open for many more years!

Awesome steakhouse!…read more Party of four on the patio which I prefer. We tried the Dine LA menu this time. It was a 3 course meal. We were served complimentary bread which had sourdough slices, spicy flat crackers and sesame sticks. Have to say I was genuinely pleased for the generous bread basket. AND our server surprised us with additional slices of hot garlicky cheese bread TOO! So yummy. Appetizers: calamari - crispy with two sauces ( Hubby got this.) Wedge salad ( Two of us got this.) Chopped salad ( I got this.) Entrees: Two of us got the ribeye Steak w choice of rice pilaf, mashed or baked potatoes, ( veg included tonight was broccoli.) Another got the filet mignon.( He enjoyed it) I got the Sea Bass. It was the BEST sea bass I've had .. ever! It was Parmesan crusted and perfectly cooked. I'm getting this every time I come here! (As long as they have it on the menu... ) Desert: We ended the meal with two chocolate cakes and two cheesecakes . Both were good as our server had indicated. It was additionally nice that the Host and manager came by to see how we were enjoying the meal. Basically, we had a great time here and are already planning our next visit. FYI valet $6

Like the previous visit, I went during DineLA and brought a first time guest. She was excited to try it since I've been talking it up and enjoyed it as much as I did. DineLA is a standout bargain. The bread basket with the sourdough bread and chili crisp crackers was a great start. The calamari with the lemon butter and marinara was done right and the choice of two sauces a bonus. The cheese bread arrived just before our food, a delicious precursor. Pepper steak topped with the onion bacon and pepper topping was perfection, mashed potatoes and broccoli the perfect pairing with broccoli cooked just right, still retaining some crispness. My friend had the rib eye and crispy onions and was equally enamored. The lemon tart was the finale. I took some of the filet home and even leftover, it didn't lose anything. Although we didn't order anything made tableside we saw Steve prepare a Baked Alaska at a nearby table. He passed our table later to check on us and we enjoyed a nice conversation with him. That's a nice touch when the manager stops by and chats for a bit. Service was well paced and our server was friendly and engaging. Valet parking at $6 is reasonable but you can park free on the next block by the church. It was a wonderful return visit for me and first time visit for my friend. We made a pact to come back again and again.

The owner, Ralph Verdugo, has created a great atmosphere, and it's clear that everyone takes pride in what they do. You can taste the care that goes into every meal. Elba and Fernando behind the bar are always friendly and provide outstanding service. My personal favorite is the fish tacos, they're fresh, flavorful, and the reason I keep coming back. The fries are also some of the best around, crispy, perfectly seasoned, and a great side with any meal. My kids love the fried shrimp and the cheeseburger, so there's something for everyone in the family. One of the things that really sets Buena Mesa apart is the entertainment. The live rock bands are the best and always put on a great show, making it a fun place to enjoy a meal, have a few drinks, and spend the evening with family and friends. If you're looking for a friendly neighborhood restaurant with amazing food, outstanding service, and top-notch live music, I highly recommend Buena Mesa. We'll definitely be back again and again!
