This is NOT a New Mexican restaurant! Let me repeat again! Beautiful space with outlandish prices from the bar to the food! With all the wonderful Mexican restaurants in LA, don't be fooled by the glitter and shiny lights of this establishment! read more

Service was great, attentive staff, we were sat right away on a Saturday night. Ambiance, very trendy and chic. Gives very much lounge vibes. Huge bar area, they have Plenty of table space. However, did notice kids And elderly present which messes with the vibe but everyone has to eat. I just don't think some of the seating areas they have would be accommodating for children or elderly. They have alot of elevated tables. DJ is spinning between deep house and reggaeton which was cool, made the place lively. Felt bad for the Margarita cart attendant not really selling any margs because people are already ordering from their server. Cute gesture but not sure if profitable. Food, lacked in every area. Yes, it's pricey so expectations were high. Failed, no flavor. For a Latin kitchen you're expecting sazon but everything was very bland. We ordered mexican corn, probably only tasty item however too much lime for my liking and it was spicy which was a good thing. Nopales slaw, no flavor it's literally nopales and slaw. Aguachiles, over cooked, sitting in olive oil with no flavor but they were spicy. Fillet mignon with scallops and 1 shrimp and the only item with flavor was the scallops. They make this potato croquette sounds amazing but it's fried mashed potato and the fried shell is too thick and overbearing again with no flavor. Churros, looked amazing but too hard to eat. Think the flambé ruined them by being cooked in all that caramel. Think it would have been better to just flambé the bananas apart from churros so they maintain their original texture. Drinks had beautiful presentation but couldn't taste the alcohol so you have to order quite a few too catch a buzz but it's going to cost you. $400 for 2, 6 drinks plus everything I mentioned. I'm okay spending on fine dining especially if the food is delicious but this wasn't it. Beautiful place however over priced for bland food. Then they charge a surcharge of 3% for "rising cost " , I thought that's why they were already charging $40 for ceviche? read more

Food was great! Vibe and esthetic was beautiful! The drinks were so cute. Loved it and recommend

ok, lets start with aesthetic. the restaurant is very elegant, very upscale and trendy. They did an amazing job with decor. I dined here for an early dinner last Sunday with a friend. The Staff was amazing, very attentive and constantly asking if we needed anything without being overbearing. Our server was great, very friendly and when I asked for recommendations he did a great job at explaining the dishes. Now the food and drinks.. I was not impressed. The food is ok. We ordered the Steak empanadas and Sea bass tiradito. Nothing special just good. I wanted to try one of their cocktails and had the Madre de Dragones. A little too sweet for my liking but its very refreshing. For our main entree we had the Enchiladas Poblanas and the Steak Arrachera. Both dishes were good, not great, not amazing, definitely not memorable just ok. I have had much more flavorful Arrachera at other restaurants. Overall nothing about the food or drinks would make me want to come back. Ive dine at many restaurants with high prices and for the most part i leave feeling like i paid accordingly for what i ordered. This was not the case at Diosa. Its expensive for sure. Our 4 dishes and 1 cocktail came out to a grand total of $192! I can see why people would want to visit, its for sure very Instagram worthy. But the food and drinks just isnt it for the price. read more

Thank you to our Host David for the great experience last night. He was super attentive and friendly will definitely come back. Food was great as well. read more

This place is to hype Food was not good service is terrible and music is to loud very nice place though

I'll break up my review in portions and experiences: Appetizers: -empanadas - solid app, nothing to write home about. -aguachile habanero/mango - super so delicious, big portion (has to be for the price), shrimp were very good quality and size. -ahi tuna tower - great app, nice spice level and fresh ingredients. Main Course: -Steak - ordered medium rare got med well no pink at all, didn't opt to return due to poor waiter service. -Arrachera - why ask what temp you want it when they char everything, came dry as can be, beans were cold. -Mar y Tierra - Scalops were over cooked and so was the steak, fortunately for the restaurant my wife likes her meat like jerky. Service: Reservation on fathers day for a group of 7 including 3 kids. Upon arrival very rude because we had kids and dismissive to our group, should have been my queue to leave but due to occasion and time it just wasnt practical. We were then seated isolated as to not disrupt others guest with no kids. Waiter immediately asked if we were ready to order, no water, no drink and definitely no pleasantries. We ordered drinks and immediately after asked if we knew what we wanted to order. The entire experience kept the same tone for the entire experience which was 75 minutes from beginning to end. I advise you all to shy away from a main course here, their drinks and apps are great and maybe for a low key evening, just dont bring kids as they will seat you exiled and near others with kids. Such a waste of a meal and overpriced. There are better options, definitely. read more

First time at Diosa, excellent service, good food and reasonable pricing for the atmosphere and quality. David who served us was superb, very attentive, trustworthy, personable and service oriented. He made great suggestions on food and drinks. We are going to spread the news about this restaurant. read more

Went with the family to celebrate father in laws birthday.. Beautiful inside & outside, definitely wasn't expecting this type of environment in Downey. As a Downey native not something that speaks what the city truly is. Found myself in a night club style restaurant.. workers looked like they were ready for the club. Didn't expect all the parking stalls to be coned off (which about 20 parking stalls) so we'd have to use the valet. When being sat down about fifteen minutes past our reservation time. We were greeted by our table host after sitting for about ten minutes.. ordered our beverages and requested specialty drinks and were told it would take 30/35 minutes to receive those drinks and that we're welcomed to enjoy table side drinks which were provided on a cart that a host was rolling around. We ended up not ordering our alcohol beverages, and went straight to ordering our main dishes.. which took an hour to reach our table.. which was a party of eight. All entrées came at separate times and not a few minutes I'd say about 10 to 15 minutes apart. Table host didn't show his presence until end.. when we asked another host to provide us with our bill. We didn't get asked for any refills or apologized on behalf of the service we were provided. Also, food was cold... which shouldn't have been.. and the price the customer is paying for each entree and drink is pretty aggressive. Beautiful restaurant, but management, service, and pricing is poor. Sad, but we wouldn't make our way back. read more

The best night of my life thus far! This is by far the best restaurant in Los Angeles county. David is the most amazing human and was a pleasure. If I could give it 100 stars, I would! -alfy Sky Works Inc. www.mycloud.studio co-founder/ceo alfy@skydesign.io read more

Aesthetically pleasing, ambiance is ok. After 4 there is valet parking only. Food is ehh .... nothing I must have. Drinks are ok, but way expensive! $23 each drink! I spent 175 with tip for my mom and I. We had 1 appetizer, 1 main entrée and 2 drinks. Sorry but I won't be back. read more

Who remembers this being hometown buffet..... bring that back seriously, ready to pay ridiculously amount of $$ on a wanna be high scaled restaurant then DIOSA is the place to be. I get the fact it's new to the area, staff is trying but they need to be more well trained. Your better off going to El Torito or Acapulco Restaurant for good meal. read more

Was excited to come here. Walked in and it was beautiful. So we expected it to be amazing. Service was ehhhhh. Not enough waitresses. Felt like our waitress was trying to help every table. Took us 20 mins to order drinks. Then literally 39 mins to get our drinks. We got our appetizers. That we ordered 15 minutes after our drinks. Before the drinks. By the time we got them. We were already getting moody. As we like to have a few drinks before our food. Our food came pretty quick from ordering. Wasn't bad. Got the enchiladas Del Mar. the ambiance was nice. read more

The decor is super nice and everything seems to be clean. The prices were outrageous for average food nothing really stood out as it tasted like something from any other place. Cheap store bought tortillas. It's more the presentation than it is good with taste which doesn't match the price. Service was good but the drinks were horrible and I felt like they don't know how to make the drinks proper for being around 20$ per cocktail atleast make the drinks right and good. Would I come back? Doubt it. It's more of a one and done experience. Overpriced. I'll give it a 5.5/10 and that's being courteous. read more

The ambiance was good. Everyone is attentive and polite. The restaurant is beautiful/fancy. The food was horrible! Both my friend and I agreed the food was bad I ordered their poblana enchiladas and she ordered the mar enchiladas and she also didn't like them. We had originally ordered a strawberry horchata drink and it was not good at all it was chalky and the after taste was horrible. We politely asked our waiter to forgive us for sending the drinks back, but it was just not fair to pay so much money for bad drinks he politely asked us why and we told him and got us some new drinks which were some sandia dulce drink. The dinner highlight was their guava cheesecake. read more

This place is amazing!! I wish I would have taken more photos. This place is located in Downey, CA. There is an open parking lot in the front but valet is also available. The ambience is very glam and sophisticated. You open up the big glass doors and are welcomed with beautiful hosts and a beautiful chandelier. Food is amazing. The steak empanadas for appetizers are juicy and filing, the ahi tuna tower paired with some yummy garlic chips is delicious and shareable. The camaron taquitos are small but have a great taste and church. Of course the tomahawk steak is delicious, can never go wrong there. The mint chimichurri goes well with the steak, gives a good kick. The bone marrow is on the small side but delicious and the red pickled onion compliments it well. For drinks; from best to least liked; coco channel, lavender honey lemonade, skinny margarita and the Kylie. Desserts: you have to try the churros foster, it's a whole experience and so delicious! read more

I went to celebrate my birthday along with my friends it was such a great experience. The service was great. Right when you get there,they greeted us with a tequila cart, which I thought was a great way to start the night. The food was delicious and the drinks exceptional. The ambiance of the restaurant was amazing as well. read more

Service was not great waiters were nice but the speed of service was not good considering there was only like 10 customers in the building. It wasn't good. my drink stayed empty for too long more than once. For the prices they charge I would expect them to check on us more. Also, we ordered something called a ahi tuna tower & it was just a little plate of tuna. Don't you think if you use the word tower it should be something that looks like a tower ? Didn't really make sense to me. read more

We came here to celebrate a friends birthday. First let me start with the parking. Although there is a big lot it can be time consuming to find a spot because of all the people there. We had reservations we waited about 20 minutes, however it was ok because that is how long it took to find parking. We were seated and our waiter came over immediately. We started with drinks I had the strawberry basil margarita it was amazing and my friend had the X fenty which she liked. We ordered the smoked guacamole and chips, there was huge chunks of avocado so I had to mash it to make it more like guacamole and you do not get a lot of chips but they are very tasty. We ordered street corn (that our waiter must've forgot about because we had to ask about it and it came after our meal came). I ordered the rib-eye Parilla and my friend got the Mar y Tierra. I had to send my steak back because I asked for well done and they gave me medium rare. The place itself is beautiful, service is okay, the hostesses were great however the wait staff seemed bored very straight faced no emotion at all. Also they have a 3% surcharge that is added to your bill. I would say you can give it a try. I would also say 7-9 may be the busiest times and it won't help the parking situation read more

Ok so the restaurant scenery is nice however this place is more to go hang out for drinks not really a dining experience the food took over 45 minutes and the place wasn't even that busy I started off with ordering a agua fresca and it consisted of them giving me a drink made out off bar syrups which tells me they do not have it so why say yes we serve it then after a long 45 minute wait for our food it was just a regular ribeye nothing special !!and carnitas which I had better at a food truck and they gave me store bought tortillas very low quality some oregano butter rice and regular black beans not what I was expecting for the prices the only thing I cared for on this restaurant was the scenery however the place was super loud more like a lounge feeling read more

Tried their a la carte tacos: carnitas was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Shrimp was even better with the cheese and slaw! Not to mention the delicious drinks and awesome service! Thank you David! read more

The one star is for how nice the place looks...but that's it...intentions were good I assume...food completely sucks as it's tasteless and overpriced... drinks completely suck with very minimum alcohol if any.. bartenders have no clue even on basic drinks they have to google how to make them ( true story)...this place might survive because the majority of the crowd comes from outside Downey and are used to hometown buffet, acapulcos and king taco so they get mesmerized by the fancy decor.But if you know about good food and drinks I guarantee you will be disappointed....but hey don't believe me and go try it yourself... read more

The food is not good here, the ambience is unique, but it is definitely a different vibe if you want to enjoy a nice quiet dinner. Actually feels like you're just having dinner at a club. They have a live DJ and everything. It's a very nice restaurant aesthetically but the food is not good and it is overpriced. read more

I came in a last minute reservation which was at 9:30. I was seated right away and I well informed about last call and the kitchen closing soon. which I appreciated so much no surprises.

Went to Diosa this past Saturday and it was so much fun! Loved the vibes and especially my server David! If he happens to be there when you go ask for him, especially if it's your first time there like it was for me because he knew so much about the food and drinks and went above and beyond to listen to what I liked and recommended the prefect drinks for me and my girls! Thanks David! read more

We were able to get fast reservations on a Sunday. I made them very last minute at about 1:45 for 2:15 for a party of 3. We got there and they sat us pretty quickly. Manager/supervisor not sure who she was greeted us and asked if our first time, it was. She explained the menu, which was very helpful. They also have a "secret menu" for kids. The place itself is very nice the people the chairs the decor just everything very nice!! The food and drinks so good, I honestly didn't expect it to be so good. Different food and drink vibes in comparison to other places. Waitress Mary was very nice and helpful also, her and the other girl constantly checked on us. Menu price is a little more on the expensive side not a place I would go to often but on special occasions. But would come back again for sure, no doubt. My daughter loves fancy places and this def checked that off for her lol read more

First time coming to this restaurant, the place is so beautiful and they greet you right away as coming in. Everyone is very friendly, our server Prisila was very attentive and super quick and efficient when bringing our drinks. Rosinis helped us also and was super quick and helpful with all the questions we had about the menu. The manager came to greet us a couple times and asked if we needed anything. My friends and I had a great time and will definitely return. read more

The customer service was excellent. The ambiance is nice. Nothing else was or could justify the $368 tab. The octopus was over cooked (chewy) the lobster was extremely salty (over seasoned). The quality of the food was off the mark. Drinks were not good and over priced. A odd thing,, they have a " margarita goddess" that walks around pushing a cart. She will make you a custom margarita. Thing is she sells it to you as this is better than what you can order from the bar. Okay, if it's better and you are slamming the bar's over priced sugar loaded cocktails. The staff definitely try's to bring the West LA/Beverly Hills swag to Downey ... just falls short on quality food/drinks. read more

We were so excited to try this restaurant. We drove from Beverly Hills to try something new. The place is beautiful. Great atmosphere & dj. BUT there were so many issues. - The food takes way too long to come out. They're def lacking in the kitchen. $75 filet & scallop plate came out with micro scallops that you top sushi with. On top of the steak being cold. The pollo el pastor is dried out chicken skewers. The rice was mushy like it was from a microwaveable bag. No flavor. - the presentation of the drinks & food are great for pics - The Busser broke a drink at our table, we never got a replacement for it. - Nothing was comped for any of the inconveniences or us waiting for the food to come out so late. They offered us a free shot for the awful experience. That's it? -The food was not worth it. It was like el torrito overpriced at best. -Their servers seemed new to hospitality & haven't been trained properly. Our waitress couldn't recommend anything because she hadn't tried the food. How do you not have a tasting with your staff so they can know what to offer? Def won't come back here. read more

Beautiful restaurant! Although it's overpriced, it's worth a good treat for date night or celebration. What really put a damper on our experience was the service. The service was so slow and drinks took longer to arrive than our food. If I chose to return, I'll make sure Roger is not our waiter. Great service is key for any establishment and we certainly didn't receive that. read more

We came to celebrate a dear friends birthday and from the minute you walk in the place is freaking cute ! We were sat down and our waiter Jorge was so accommodating to our needs, Priscila the supervisor in charge came over to greet us and made us feel incredibly welcomed. Service was just amazing overall ! The drinks are super cute and the and very tasty. Let's not even get started with the food from the guac and chips to the tomahawk everything was so delicious! Ambiance was very chill because it was a Wednesday night but I am looking forward to coming back on a weekend. read more

The ambiance is nice. The server was nice to give her a 10/10. However, some things need improvement from the managing side. Food takes a while to come out. If you have plans to go somewhere else after I wouldn't recommend eating here. It does take a while to receive food. I ordered the empanadas. They were a little saltier than expected. However, kitchen can improved on that. I also ordered the French toast. I loved it 10/10! The drinks were presentable, loved for Instagram. The only thing that I didn't like were the cups and plates dusty with a hair in it. I didn't say anything and requested a new plate. In my opinion it can be a hazard for germs to collect. Otherwise, it's a nice place to spend a girls day. read more

Beautiful restaurant. The ambiance is upscale and very hip. I went for happy hour with a group of colleagues. I waited over 30 minutes for my drink. The drink was pretty but weak. I thought maybe i wasnt treated right because i went for happy hour, so i went a second time with some friends during the middle of the day on a Saturday and again the service was painstakingly slow and i just cant justify going to a restaurant as pricey as this is and not getting great service. Both times I went i had to flag servers down for simple things like a napkin and my drink. read more

Two stars, one for the service the waitress was amazing and knowledgeable, and the other for the ambiance, I must recognize there is never being a restaurant like that in Downey. Although if the continue to serve food like that I'm not sure they will last long. We had the grill guacamole that came stray out the fridge, pardon my innocence but if I'm asking for grill avocado guacamole ($20.00) wasn't it supposed to be warm and tasty, instead we got a freaking black frozen avocado super salty and nasty I got the arrachera ($55.00) which was good but not amazing for the price, also we got the mango habanero aguachiles ($35.00) worst aguachile ever and salty as well. Almost every single cocktail goes to $20.00 and up, beer choices are ridiculous only five kinds of beer, and the choices are not so good. I had my salt intake for the rest of the year with these dishes, super pricey and not flavorful. This is the type of restaurant that now is the hype but in the king run won't succeed because of the most important thing, the food is not good and is ridiculous expensive. For dessert churros for two $40.00 dollars crazy read more

DONT BE FOOLED! Came last night w party of 8, it took 30 minutes for our drinks to come and each drink came one by one?? The food was def NOT worth the price and the servers were EXTREMELY slow. They forgot one of our dishes, and brought it after we paid.. and still charged us?? JUST, DONT COME LOL read more

The restaurant definitely has a West Hollywood flashy kind of vibe with it's lighting decorum, use of glass and mirrors. The staff is very friendly, accommodating and hospitable. Unfortunately, the food was very ordinary with basic food profiles. Carnitas with Spanish rice, beans and not homemade corn tortillas ($45), steak arrechera (skirt steak) with roasted peppers, arroz verde, black beans and corn tortillas ($55). The carnitas was not very flavorful and the skirt steak was rather tough and chewy. The cocktails were tasty. For our dessert, we tried the ($40) churros with caramelized bananas with ice cream on top. The churros were hard rather than soft and fluffy and the bananas were not sweet. Unfortunately, this restaurant did not live up to expectations. This is flash over substance. The service and presentation are beautiful but the food is just ordinary but is priced like end dining. Sorry I have to be honest. No ill intent here. read more
