Service was attentive and nice. Ordered: calamari, butter cake, shrimp taquitos, steak dish, + coffee cocktail which is flamed tableside. Don't remember the total but it was $158 after tip. Overall, it was a good experience and very enjoyable before a game. Not sure if they do anything for birthdays, since I noted it on our reservation but it was a good time regardless.

Fuego Cravings did not disappoint! We ordered the birria ramen, birria nachos, street tacos, a…read morepineapple agua fresca, and a horchata, and everything was delicious. The birria ramen was packed with flavor, and the meat was tender and perfectly cooked. The birria nachos were loaded with toppings without getting soggy, and every bite was full of cheesy, savory goodness. The street tacos were simple, fresh, and really let the quality of the meat shine. The pineapple agua fresca was light and refreshing, while the horchata was creamy with just the right amount of cinnamon. Both were the perfect complement to the meal. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Service was a miss -- we never had a dedicated server so they didn't check in as often. For the food, we tried the stacked enchiladas and posole. I ordered my enchiladas with both roja and verde sauces, or Christmas style. Flavors were good but not memorable. The dish itself was on the smaller side for the price. The posole was pretty tasty and had a huge portion! Came with lots of vegetables and bread on the side. Overall, we were satisfied with our meal but don't need to come back.

One of the taco spots in Rodeo 72; usually I'm here when most stores are closed but since they were…read moreopen I tried them out. There's a kiosk to self-order, I ended up talking to the cashier anyways since there was no line. The ambiance is that of Rodeo 72, otherwise the storefront here is white and clean and nondescript. Tacos de canasta - soft, steamy, juicy, oily, and tasty. I got one of each (potato, chicharron, and beans), which were well seasoned and moist. Birria Mexican burrito - delicious. Maybe I have a small sample size but among the better birria I've tried lately, the meat is tender and juicy and falls apart without any weird stinginess. Comes with consommé which itself is super flavorful and doesn't feel like just oily, muddy meat juice. Salsas - pleasantly spicy, the tomatillo is my favorite. Maybe my experience was different from others since the food court wasn't busy at all. But I'll be coming back regularly when I'm in the area.

Visited Rodeo79 with my bf. It was our first time coming by since we very rarely go to Whittier…read more Tacos were calling for me, so I opted for The Basket Taco. I ordered the tacos dorado with asada for myself. Service was good and standard, so I have no complaints about it. I got notified via text instead of a buzzer. You have an option between frijoles or papas as your base. I went with potatoes. The tacos themselves were good. It was basically loaded potato tacos where they top it with meat. The confusing thing was the "tomato sauce" that they use. I have no reference for what the sauce was supposed to be, but it reminded me more of a salsa and it was too wet for my liking. The tacos already came with salsa, so I didn't think the tomato sauce was needed. Didn't really add much to my food other than drenching it more with the fixings that were already included. Solid taco vendor. They have other interesting offerings I'm down to try like their birria grilled cheese, so I'd probably return if I'm back in the area.

My friends and I had plans to go to ZAMA and found out it was closed so we had to find a new place…read more We ended up here just based off the pictures. Let's start with the margarita I got, I did not taste any alcohol in it (and I cannot have strong drinks! So that can tell you a lot) not worth $18. We basically paid for an expensive agua fresca! Then I ordered the carne asada skewers. The first bite was okay, not very flavorful, but I thought I could just finish it. As I go through the meat, I notice so much fat and very little meat. I grab another piece and bite into it, I start chewing and realize that it tasted like raw meat (with a hint taste of raw meat that spent too much time in the fridge) I immediately got nauseous and spit it out on a napkin. I told our server and he asked me what else I would like. I then ordered the fish tacos, he brought it out in less than 5 minutes (kind of fast if you ask me) I try a small piece of the fish and it wasn't bad, I give a piece to my friend and she only got fat. Why is there fat in my fish tacos! I tried to pick through it so I could atleast get full, but I couldn't do it. The server came to pick up our plates and asked me if I didn't like the tacos, I said no but that's okay don't worry about it. I was so disappointed because I was starving. My friend ordered the rib eye tacos and had to pick through it too because most of it was fat. The only good thing that happened was that our server did not charge me for the two plates that I didn't eat. We thanked him, paid the check and left. Unfortunately, this was not the best food and we were excited to eat and celebrate my birthday.

We had a 12:30PM reservation for their Mother's Day "Mariachi Brunch". The restaurant called us the…read moreday before to suggest we move it to catch the full mariachi set. We changed our plans to 12pm. That's where things started going wrong in ways we couldn't have predicted. There was a huge line outside. All reservation holders, all waiting, none being told anything useful. We stood there for over an hour. This restaurant enforces a 90-minute table limit, so the only way reservations run 60 minutes behind is if you sold more tables than you have. When they finally seated us, they walked us to the very back of the restaurant to plastic folding picnic tables and plastic chairs. The furthest possible seats, out of sight from the mariachi stage. Then we asked for the brunch menu. The server looked surprised, "We're out of the brunch menu. Everyone ordered the same thing." You promoted a brunch, and everyone ordered brunch? Shocking lol. We had to order off the regular menu instead. Our reservation was at 12pm, we sat down at 1:05pm and I finally got my meal at 1:30pm. There were several mistakes to our orders. One person at our table got the grilled shrimp. They served it raw and he sent it back. He ended up not eating and left without a meal. One of the staff was telling frustrated customers that this is simply what you should expect on Mother's Day. No accountability. Just the excuse that wanting a functional experience on a holiday is your fault for going out. This made it worse. And the mariachi? They stopped playing five minutes after we finally sat down. The same guy who told us this to lower our standards told us the band was on a 15-minute break. That break lasted 50 minutes. They came back to play right as our plates were being cleared away. Remember, we were seated in the very back, nowhere near the stage. The band finally made their way toward us just as we were asking for the check. They comped a few items and brought complimentary dessert. It didn't matter by then. This is a bar and lounge that decided to become a holiday brunch venue for one day. The grandmothers in that line didn't come for the lounge atmosphere. They came for the brunch and the mariachi -- the two things this restaurant completely failed to deliver. But I'd bet the staff is somewhere high-fiving each other for surviving a busy shift, convinced we all got exactly the Mother's Day we deserved for daring to go out. We still spend $300. We fell for the trap. And the portions were not large enough, so we went down the street to an Irish pub after and ate some appetizers to make up for it. Better to stick with family restaurants that have experience with special occasions.
