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 read more

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!!!! read more

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! read more

It was honestly super good had been bought everything almost everything. It is good for about four people. the music is great Service is goo read more

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 read more

Went here for the first time today. The place was empty. There was someone behind the bar that barely greeted us and told us where to grab a menu. We seated ourselves outside and nobody came out, so we got up and left. Needless to say we won't be back. read more

Came here for the first time tonight. To be honest didn't have high expectations. Most taco places taste similar in the area. This one is definitely set apart from the rest. Prices are a little on the higher side for one taco but definitely get the quality for the price. Everything was delicious. Will definitely be coming back. read more

everything is delicious. I really recommend the Rancho roll taco and the West Coast everything is delicious and the service is the best read more

The 5 star reviews here are fake! This place was so shitty. We got there and it was empty, there was only one other group there (already a bad sign). They were out of most things on the menu and the server Daniel was a douche bag. We ordered our food from what was available and a round of Micheladas. Daniel the douchey server had offered us a round of green tea shots in exchange for a 5 star review (asked us like 4 times). We didn't do it until finally he offered us a beer in exchange. We talked him into a Michelada instead of a beer and he agreed. Cool. He brings over the Micheladas and there was no beer in them. It was all mix. Daniel is a scammy, deceitful douche. I will not return. We will not be back to this establishment. Daniel and the other bartender were both drunk as well. Specifically Daniel couldn't even stand up straight while taking our orders read more

Came here for Valentine's Day and the ambience was so cute they had balloons and the lights were pink and very much the valentines vibe we were hoping for but not expecting. The food was also very yummy we had the asada fries and Mexican sushi which is basically just a skinny burrito chopped up but nonetheless a good experience for my nonsushi eating bf. Lol The drinks were also very yummy and were $14 each. The service was also very good. They were very attentive and even gave suggestions with the drinks (convinced me to get on the rocks instead of slushy) over all it was a good experience and will be definitely be coming back with friends. read more

This is not elevated food, this is fun food, comfort food. This is food you want when you're up late and want to keep the party going. This is what you want when the party is winding down and the menudo is coming out. Desvelados is a place to go if you want fun tacos, fun drinks, and a good time with friends and family. I've been here twice in the past few weeks and plan to return. The service has been very friendly. Shout out to Teresa and the wonderful house made Aguas. The aguas are served in a massive stein and the jamaica is the perfect balance of not too sweet. There are many margaritas and micheladas to choose from, also very generous in size. The drinks are perfect pairings to the wide variety of crazy and decadent food options they have here. One of the reasons I want to return is to try the wide variety of options here. What we've been doing is ordering the Canasta de Los Pobres (10 small tacos, your choice of meat) and then ordering a few of the other options off the menu. My favorite by far is the Sinaloa taco, pork belly, pickled onions, and avocado with cheese. I've had a few more off the menu- all good,but the Sinaloa has been my favorite. Back to the Canasta. While they are small tacos, more traditional, and served with no frills, they are served with a generous amount of meat. I suggest ordering the pastor and remember to ask for the pineapple. I will no doubt be returning to try other items on the menu. I also have a feeling it will take a quite a few trips because the menu is massive. read more

If you're looking for greasy, fatty , cheat day type food, this is the place to be! The food here is so good! Super tasty food truck/street style Mexican food. Our waitress was awesome. Very attentive and quick with our order! They have indoor seating and a few tables and chairs right out front. Music playing to vibe with but can be a little on the louder turn up side, which is not an issue with me. I love gorditas and the vampiros. They do not skimp out on the meat/filling on the gorditas & thr vampiros are that really good greasy you want on a cheat day. read more

more like a pub, not for fine dine-in.. but is that stopping you from having good food or a good time?... we just stopped by for a couple of drinks and ended up having a good time... The server suggested trying No Manches Slush, which is wine mixed with fruits & lime, and spices.. kinda spicy but has a great taste... ordered some beer and they served uniquely- with sauce and some chill spices for crafting on top Mexican style type and lemon Their sushi taco platter is too good... enough appetizer for 2-3 folks... loaded with meats, veggies, cheese, and don't know what... but great taco man.. I had a great time spent with the folks... read more

I'm not sure how I feel about this place. I was in uptown Whittier for the day and we decided to check this place out. Outside it looks very inviting. Music playing, fun vibes. I really wanted to like it. The tables are pushed up against the walls for space, it's long and narrow. The food: I had a Sonora taco. I'd never had one before. I loved the concept of it. The pepper, Monterey cheese and meet in a corn tortilla- great idea. BUT.. the meat was dry as hell. The service: beyond slow. When we got there, it wasn't super busy. Our food took forever to come out, and they brought out my food separately from my husband's order. Weird. Then getting our bill took long, as did paying for the bill. I literally had to waive someone down. Maybe their other locations are better, idk but I don't think I'll be coming back to this one again. read more

We love coming here! Food is great and everyone is really friendly. The music is good too! Their tacos are amazing. We always get the taco platters here because it's enough for the whole group. Their margaritas are also very good and refreshing. We never wait a long time for food or drinks. It was also nice to see the bar so clean and well kept which was much appreciated! This is my favorite location to go to! read more
