    Came here on a Sunday for a lunch catch up with some friends. Great location in Whittier and parking is quite plentiful. Server was friendly and welcoming, and quick with our orders. The tacos I ordered were so good. Definitely coming back here with the missus. Great location and cruisy vibe.

    Guac!!

    Awesome. I had a couple of cold ones and guacamole with carne. Excellently prepared, presented and served. Watching the street fair and chilaxing. This guacamole is as good as the one I had in CDMX!

    Just came back from Las Vegas last night and I didn't have a chance to try the David Chang Asian Mexican fusion at the cosmopolitan hotel ... BUT, as it turns out maybe I shouldn't! Desvelados (I translation must mean "definitively fabulous ") is a testament to a grandmother's recipes and the history of old traditions. I usually don't post menus but the menus say it all, and besides I'm too busy enjoying the delicious flavors. BTW the hostess Nancy is very gracious and the chef (yes, chef as his skill is more than just cooking ) prompt and on point. I asked Nancy if she was part of this family owned business ; she is not but certainly takes care of her patrons as if she is part of the family. Now for the photos

    This is the cutest little place in Whittier. If you're in the mood for good tacos with tortillas hechas a mano, a beer, and some bomb ass snacks--look no further. They have a little bit of everything for everyone. I ordered La Mamalona which is like a quesadilla with carne asada and shrimp and guacamole. BOMB. I added the green salsa. Folks, even the homemade salsa bottles on the table were delicious. Everything we tried here was a hit and everyone left bursting at the seams. I'd like to add the service we received was EXCELLENT. She was extremely attentive to our party and even brought my mother in laws agua fresca fresh. The attention to detail she had, the ability to serve when she was the only person working-chefs kiss. This is definitely a spot we will be returning. There was a burrito with flaming hot Cheetos that had my my name on it for next time!!!!

    Excellent place, server, and food. I can't think of what else is excellent, but this place pretty good. My order here was the el pastor and the quesedilla with carne, cheese, avocado, and shrimp. It was so delicious and filling. Gotta give it to this place for being wonderful! The server was polite and super chill. Ambiance of this place looks great for a bar, and has cultural vibes. Ya'll did a really good job!

    First time here and can't wait to come back! It was so hard to choose...I literally wanted 1 of everything lol. The restaurant was clean but the seating layout is a little weird. Maybe don't come with a large group of friends because of how small the place is but do come hungry. I am not from the area but I was able to find street parking nearby with no problem. The waitress was very helpful and provided great service. She informed us that the alcohol they use for certain cocktails is Agave Wine. The food portions were a nice size and best part is HANDMADE TORTILLAS! If you know me, I am a huge sucker for fresh made tortillas. Ensenada taco (shrimp) is a 10/10! The shrimp were HUGE (not like other places) and the sauce they use is FIRE!!! Carnitas taco is a 10/10! The meat was tender (certain places they give you more fat than meat) and paired with their salsa was delicious Al Pastor taco is a 9/10...it would have been a solid 10 IF there was pineapple. The meat was also tender and very flavorful Quesabirria taco is a 9/10! The tortilla kept falling apart which made it difficult to dip in the consome and eat. It was a little pricy compared to my usual spot however, the Monterey cheese made me forget about the price lol Overall, service and food was a 10/10, I highly recommend eating here

This place instantly became one of my favorites after just one visit. From the moment you walk in, the whole vibe hits you--the moody, neon-lit ambiance sets the tone perfectly. It feels elevated, a little edgy, and honestly just the kind of spot you want to spend your night at. The music is curated so well. Not too loud, not too mellow--just the right balance where you can vibe, have a conversation, and still feel the energy of the room. You can tell they actually care about the experience, not just throwing a playlist together. Now let's talk about the drinks... because that's really where they shine. Every cocktail feels intentional and crafted with care. You can taste the quality immediately--nothing watered down, nothing basic. They have a really cool mix of classic cocktails and modern twists, and even the familiar drinks feel elevated. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every round because you trust the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. Service was on point too. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain drinks and made great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. I came in not knowing what to expect, and left already planning my next visit. If you're in Uptown Whittier and looking for a spot with great energy, amazing cocktails, and a full vibe--The Vandalist is it. Thank me later

Could not have been happier. From the moment we walked through the heavy wooden door (fancy!) until we left- the host, the waitress, server, manager and even the owner were amazingly attentive and welcoming. When it's your birthday they put a nice sign at your table and everyone stops by to wish you an amazing bday. They also check in to make sure you're having a good time and enjoying your delicious meal. Now for the food: fresh, al dente and tasty. All adjectives you want running through your mind after the first bitesss. We ordered stuffed mushroom- hot and nicely seasoned. Mushrooms not overcooked and stuffing not overly cheesy. The shrimp linguine another hit with fresh tomatoes and jumbo shrimp with a nice snap. The light seasoning with lots of garlic was just perfect. We also ordered the beef short ribs. My friend said it melted on her mouth and the fresh mash potatoes- just right. Did I mention the portions were huge! Lots of goodies to take with us. To add to the dining experience we watched as patrons steadily came and went throughout the evening. You can tell this is a favorite for many. There were High-5s, handshakes and lots of "Welcome back friends!" Just an overall beautifully decked out neighborhood restaurant with so much heart and soul. I heard that the restaurant has been handed down from their grandparents... I'm sure they would be very proud. Highly recommend.

I went with only masizo not wanting to deal with the bone, and my son ordered sopa de tortilla. The consome the birria comes with has rice and garbanzos, which was interesting. My son ate a little bit of his soup and asked me for some of my food after I gave him some to try. He finished most of my consome, but I was happy he preferred the birria as he can be a little picky. The meat was very tender and had a really good flavor. The salsas served were just okay, neither the red or green were spicy at all.
