Ok, we have had the chicken and it's good! It's super flavorful and it's just good! I don't know... it's those things you just have to try for yourself and you will Understand. But.... Thats not all. We love their works breakfast burrito. I don't know why but it hits the spot. Chorizo, sausage and bacon.... Mmmmm it's just good! For the price and the size, can't beat it! And I also get their Dino fries and it's their seasoning! I don't know what they use but it's just bomb! And the ranch!!! Oh my! It's all just good comfort food! You just have to try it! It's not a big spot...it's small but the staff is super friendly. Downside: no public restroom

The special marinade/sauce that goes on the grill chicken.

Dino's Famous Chicken is an old school family-owned Los Angeles restaurant establishment in 1969 known for its Greek and Latin-inspired charcoal-grilled chicken plate. Their signature dish: charbroiled chicken on a bed of fries, soaked in a special marinade and sauce. Comes with coleslaw, corn tortillas; and salsa upon request. If you order the grilled chicken plate, I recommend getting the special marinade on the side; therefore, you can control how saucy you like it. Otherwise it's over powered by sauce in my opinion. I wasn't a fan of their signature dish. Chicken was too dry. Breakfast, char-boiled burgers & hot dogs, plus Mexican-American fare are also available. Next time, that is what am sticking to! Service is great. Restaurant is very clean inside.

Fair Pricing. Chicken has a zesty unique taste and pairs good along with sides. The DUI fries are also worth it for what you pay for. Customer service was great and wait time was not too bad.

So I was out this way and I had tried this place out in LA once with a friend. So in this round I was with my coworker and we decided to give it a try. We both ordered the chicken but she got her chicken without the vinegar sauce on the chicken but I got mine on it. I wish I got the chicken without the sauce and on the side like hers. It still was good but yeah I don't like my chicken overly saucy. I'd prefer dipping into a sauce. The chicken was tender and tasty and we both finished our meal. I got the onion rings hoping it would be the bomb too but it fell short. It wasn't seasoned well nor did it taste great or even good. I ended up tossing that into the trash. They have their own parking lot but if full they have street parking. Service was fairly quick. The place was kinda clean and many open seats to sit inside and a couple of seats outside if you wanted to sit outside.

When in my hometown, I have to stop and buy their charbroiled, delish, spicy chicken, beans and rice to bring home; it is so good. Also their freshly charbroiled burgers are some of the best I've ever had. Great customer service and always clean in the restaurant.

Nice mom and pop establishment I have had there famous chicken delivery per grub hub and never really disappointed. So I decided to come in, nice cozy and clean. Two tvs going. Counter staff very friendly my wife was curious about the pastrami. She was worried it was to salty. One of the counter staff gave her a small taste nice customer service right there. Wow the pastrami casadilla was huge talk about a meal my wife had a bright smile. My wife said it tasted great. With a small side salad with lettuce a tomato purple onion slices and dressing My choice was a wet burrito carne asada green look great. Asada coooked well well packed with chips surrounding the burrito. Sauce covered the burrito Plating on both was great. Grabbed a side of fries shoe stringish request no salt and they obliged. Good amount of fries. For being a long time establishment they have updated POS andq great menu. Let me start this way. Price to product = 9 Customer service = 8 Plating = 8 Food(taste, quantity) = 8 Cleanliness = 7 I will come in more often worth the time, Good mom and pop. I won't dis for no public restroom because they have 2 signs letting you know.

Full menu + pricing.

Full menu and pricing as of February 24, 2026. Seasoning on fries is delicious, wonderful junior burgers.

Good food great service friendly ambiance takeout and plenty of tables for clean indoor dining.

Zucchini Fries

It's in the name of the restaurant. Dino's Famous Chicken is nicely prepared and very flavorful when you add the marinade juice over your meal or the marinade can be used as a dip. Presentation and taste 10/10. Absolutely no complaints on the chicken. I was a little disappointed with a pastrami sandwich I also ordered . I specifically asked for the meat to be cooked on the flat grill for that next level flavor but unfortunately did not get what I was expecting. Maybe there was some miscommunication but next time I'll be "very" specific. Meat flavor was good. Zucchini fries were as expected. Staff was very polite and friendly.

I'm sure there has been many reviews done on Dino's it's a classic staple if you are anywhere in LA you have had or at least heard of Dino's. It has been years since I been to the original location and was driving down telegraph in Pico Rivera and to my surprise I saw it had my brother stop immediately and I had to get some chicken. Flavors just but brought back so many memories and woke up every single taste bud. Chicken in the chicken juice is phenomenal. I ordered the plate with fried rice and beans it was delicious. Service was great they were friendly place was clean and neat. I would have given it a perfect 5 but they don't have a customer restroom and that's a big no for me specially I'm usually with my lil ones who as soon as we walk into a new place need to potty. Besides that everything is great I would probably just do pick up so I can be more comfortable.

A weekend brunch with friends brought me to Madre's Whittier, where the menu offered plenty of tempting options--and a few unexpected lessons about ordering seafood. I tried the Ensenada Omelet, loaded with shrimp, salmon, crab, and octopus. Now, I'm a seafood lover, but octopus and I aren't exactly close friends. I asked if it could be removed, but since the seafood mix is pre-made, the octopus had already RSVP'd to the party. The omelet was good, topped with a creamy sauce, but not something I'd order again. The crab appeared to be imitation crab, and while everything was prepared well, it just wasn't a standout for me. The real star? The strawberry pancakes. Delicious! Next time, I'd order those with a side of eggs and call it a win. I also sampled the chilaquiles, and now that's a dish I'd come back for. The Tiramisu Latte was another favorite--not overly sweet and packed with that classic tiramisu flavor I love. A special shoutout to our waitress, Annie, who was attentive, friendly, and made our brunch experience even better. My Verdict: Skip the Ensenada Omelet and build your brunch around the stars of the menu instead. The strawberry pancakes are the must-order item, the chilaquiles are a strong savory choice, and the Tiramisu Latte ties everything together. If you order wisely, Madre's delivers a brunch worth coming back for.

Once we were ready she had our table already prepared. We have to order inside first before you can be seated. Once seated our food came out not too long after. Everything looked and tasted delicious! We ordered the chilaquiles verde, short rib omelette, tropical pancakes (seasonal), and the mango curd french toast (seasonal). The chilaquiles verde was savory and tangy. It wasn't soggy at all and definitely one of my favorite dishes. The short rib omelette was savory but didn't give me any wow factor compared to the other dishes I ordered. The tropical pancakes were so pretty. I only tried a piece of it without the syrup which I think was a mistake because the kumquat syrup was my friend's favorite. I definitely need to try it again with the syrup. Best for last, mango curd French toast was my favorite! I fell in love with sweetness and tanginess of the mango curd. The French toast was soft and you can taste the butter. I wish it was a main menu item. I'll definitely be sad to see it go. They have lots of seating inside and outside.

The moment I took my first bite, I immediately noticed that the ricotta tasted sour and spoiled. I drove back to the restaurant to request a refund. Unfortunately, my refund was not honored because the manager, Aimee, was not present. Karely, the lead on duty, seemed unsure of how to handle the situation and attempted to explain that the sour taste was simply the lemon in the ricotta. That explanation was disappointing because there is a clear difference between the intended lemon flavor and the taste of spoiled dairy. What upset me most was the lack of concern, apology, or effort to make the situation right. As a customer, I expected the issue to be taken seriously, especially when food safety is involved. If a manager is unavailable, staff should be properly trained and empowered to handle customer concerns appropriately. I am currently four months pregnant, which made this experience even more concerning. I wasted my time, gas, and energy driving back to the restaurant, only to leave without a refund or any resolution. This was by far the worst experience I have had at a restaurant in Downey, and unfortunately, I will not be returning.

For breakfast, we ordered a short stack of pancakes, the breakfast combo, and an avocado toast. Everything was very much like a traditional breakfast and tasted good overall, no complaints. I especially liked the avocado toast. Every place seems to have its own variation, and this one had a slight salsa flavor to it, which was actually really good and a nice twist. The service was very friendly, and the atmosphere felt welcoming. I would definitely come back again and would love to try some of their desserts next time.

The line was moving at first, but as soon as the game started, it completely stopped. They have a sign at the entrance that everyone in your party had to be present before entering. However, while we were waiting, we saw people being allowed inside because members of their party were already in the restaurant. That was inconsistent and unfair to everyone who had been waiting patiently inline. Another customer in-front of the line spoke up and told the hostess and the security guard about the situation, but they said there was nothing they could do and the host walked away and the security guard kept saying he just works there and does what he is told to do. The manager never came out to speak with the people waiting or address the situation. What made it even more frustrating is that the restaurant had a 90-minute seating limit clearly posted on the entrance door. That policy did not appear to be enforced, as guests stayed well beyond the posted limit while those of us waiting outside never had the opportunity to get in. We understand that World Cup games bring large crowds, but if you're going to post policies and ask customers to follow them, they should be enforced consistently for everyone. Better organization, communication, and management would have made a huge difference. After waiting nearly two hours before the game started and during the game, we left extremely disappointed and hungry. We were planning to consume. Not only were going to watch the game but my party and I were planning to eat and drink and have a good time. Never coming back here, and neither should you.
