If you're looking for a chic, pretty place with a cool menu. The drink menu has a unique and funny twist. I had the Coco Channel pretty tasty but a little on the sweet side. The food was good, but overall, everything is overpriced. Our service was just ok... Dined in on a Sunday, and it was pretty slow. Our food came separate. We had to wait another 15-20 minutes for a simple enchiladas plate. We celebrated a birthday, and that was pretty awesome! They give you a menu with a cool quote, champagne shot, and ice cream. The coolest part is obviously the keepsake menu part! read more

UPDATE: First time at DIOSA exceeded my expectations. Granted, I had only been at the bar with my most wonderful bartender Ms. Emily (plata o plomo-is a must try) their margaritas and micheladas were not what I expected during happy hour they were waayyyyy better. So glad to report that yesterday I visited for a second time to try the food and the fact that I came back to report for a second time says something cause I NEVER! I mean NEVER! come back to do a second review. OMG! the Ribeye steak was cooked to perfection, I requested Ms. Emily for my server ( this girl does everything so well) She was very polite, very friendly, and knowledgeable in all things DIOSA, menu drinks, desserts. We also ordered the Guacamole and it was oh so delicious! served with pickled red onions the Guacamole had a nice lemon flavor with fresh tortilla chips that were crispy!crispy! Everything was fresh to order. The crispy braised pork shank was also very delicious it had a nice crispy texture all around and cooked to perfection inside, kudos to the chef. I had the mashed potatoes and rice as my side and it did not disappoint. Still I cannot get over that steak, it had a nice buttery taste. It was so delicious there was no need for steak sauce. The experience as well as food quality.....DIOSA did not disappoint. Upon entering very friendly staff. Our Server, the chef, the bartenders my oh my! This will definitely be my go to place from here on out. read more

David was amazing. Overall the service is great as soon as you walk in. Food and drinks were delicious!

I ate here the other day with friends and felt I should leave a review as I really love the location, the decor and the menu. However, the food was extremely and uncomfortably salty. The ambience is spectacular the menu items are well mixed with surf and turf options. Control because this would make a big difference. I do not plan to return due to the high salt contents on the food, my food with inedible. read more

Had my first experience at DIOSA and I have to give this place a 5 star rating from the food to the excellent service. The managers and servers were top notch and very professional. Paulina our 6ft goddess was amazing at what she does. Fellas if you enjoy fantastic food along with good drinks and better views (if you know what I mean) hit this place up. I will definitely be going back to DIOSA.... I also wanted to include Sherryl one of the managers who visited our table several times to make sure we were taken care of. I would have to say DIOSA by far has the best of everything from the ambiance to the food the service which makes this a 5 star. We need a DIOSA on the Westside so o don't have to drive all the way to Downey but until then I have a reason to visit downey! read more

Lively new restaurant in Downey, great doors and atmosphere. The service is excellent and they make excellent cocktails. We ordered the Enchiladas Poblanos and the grilled avocado guacamole and a bunch of sides everything tasted amazing !! read more

Disrespectful how long they tried making me and my girlfriend wait. We had reservations for 8:45 PM arrived at 8:38 PM and at 9:15 PM we were still patiently waiting. We did ultimately give up, but they had no regard and could care less that we waited or left. Such was the case with many others sitting around not getting any help. read more

The restaurant set up and decor was great....but a little over pricey on the food and drinks.

First time coming here and it was a phenomenal experience!! The service was excellent , the food was fantastic. Thank you Jorge and the rest of the team for making it a such a great experience . We will absolutely be back!!! read more

Food is great very clean very friendly we normally sit at the bar when it's just me and my wife. Our bartender Lorraine always remembers us when we show up even knows what I drink !!!! read more

Being a downey resident i took my family for a Saturday dinner food was huge disappointment. Ordered some old fashioned drinks both looked different color one was lighter than the other one that says that bartenders don't follow consistent measurements or ingredients. The place is just a mirage nice decor but lousy food for the prices. read more

Food was cold when it came out and the food was not enjoyable, staff was telling our party to be quiet but there was no one else in the restaurant besides us. Except one staff member was nice. The decor of the restaurant is good. The food caused me to throw up and gave me a stomach ache so bad I was so close to going to the urgent care. I definitely know I won't be coming here again and will not recommend this place to my friends or family read more

It's a new family owned business that supports woman's advocacy .Loved the food, the service , and the ambiance. The restaurant was beautiful modern looking . Loved the melted candles up in the front . Will definitely go back . read more

DIOSA Downey - My drink - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Downey, California

Nice, but it needs work. The restaurant is beautiful, from the floor to the ceilings, to the outdoor patio. They have a doorman and advertise Valletta parking on the website, but had none when I went!!! And trust when I say you'rere going to want to vallet, during dinner/ weekend. The parking lot is so small it's so hard to find parking. The food is a bit expensive for what it is, but you expect to pay that in a restaurant that is considered upscale. The food was presented beautifully and tasted very good. We ordered the quac, queso fundido, veggie empandas, and bananas foster churro thing. Everything we ate was delicious and had a mini show with dessert. The drinks were amazing. Highly recommend Fridas Garden. The service, however, was lacking. They are very nice but not enough staff for the amount of people that go. If you have a dinner reservation, expect to wait almost an hour to be seated. Then, when you do get seated, you have to wait 15 before even being acknowledged to get a menu. I understand it is popular and busy, but maybe don't take walk-in clients if there is not sufficient staff. Also do NOT order a drink from the girls pushing the carts. It's a total rip off. She offered us a margaritas while we were waiting to be seated and thought how nice of them to offer complimentary drinks while we wait for a table. Then she asked how would we like to pay. We were a little shocked, but whatever it's fine we can pay. So we get the bill and it's 76 dollars for 3 margaritas. Are you kidding me !!! It had not even a shot of off brand tequila and some juice in a martini glass. I'm sorry, but it is ridiculous. I gave this 3 stars because it's beautiful, food and drinks taste great, but if it really wants to be high end it needs to have high end service. Oh, and don't advertise valet parking if you don't have it. read more

DIOSA Downey - Fridas Garden - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Downey, California

Great concept, needs more attention to details in the timeliness and synchronization of their service. Drinks are slow to come out, yet there are plenty of staff at the bar and surrounding areas. Their cocktails are very visually appealing, but the ratios are not well balanced. Our entree's were served approximately 5 minutes apart. I hope the details get worked out. I would enjoy having a restaurant of the caliber they are attempting be a main stay, but the quality of food, drinks, and service has to match the level of its price point in order for it to be justified. read more

Amazing food! Beautiful Ambiance! Exceptional Service by Rogelio, he was so polite and patient with all our questions and request. Thank you Rogelio for the great experience! We will be back! read more

I had an amazing dinner and drinks with my family. The lobster ceviche was amazing along with the Tomahawk steak. Also the cast iron carnitas were great and plentiful for everyone to share. Actually most plates are shareable. The place has amazing decor and great music. read more

Food was excellent and the service was great too. Wonderful ambiance and beautiful decor.

I give them a 2 on service n a10 on presentation n food - my friend and I visited this place during the week on a Wednesday at 1:30 and we were very disappointed with the very very light alcoholic drinks - needless to say it was not worth the $425 + tip for that lunch read more

It's a loud place, in many ways. Potential cozy vibes except you're constantly having to yell over the loud music and noise to have a conversation with your party. Might as well make it a show and dinner how chaotic it gets in there. Food was okay, nothing special on the menu and salmon was dry. Drinks were good, can't complain. Service okay, they were busy, it was during busiest dinner time. read more

Great atmosphere and fun time with delicious drinks. Get the bone marrow. Will be back for sure!

The salmon was very good! Only downside is that it's very loud so don't expect to have a convo lol definitely more of a club atmosphere. The drinks were good. read more

Drinks were good but service was really slow! It took forever for our drinks to come. We ordered our drinks and waited about 30 minutes for our other drinks to come. The bill came faster than our drinks. Empanadas we're good. read more

Food and seevice were amazinnnng! The drinks were strong and delicious and our server, David, was awesome!!! We got seated right away too. Would definitely come back! Loved the Ahi tuna lettuce wraps and the steak nachos, would definitely recommend!! read more

The place is gorgeous, David was beyond awesome. He was very patient with our never-ending questions. He had great suggestions and checked on us regularly. Food was delicious, the Ribeye, Octopus, and guava cheesecake were among my favorites. read more

Loved my experience at Diosa . Very aesthetically pleasing I would definitely recommend the watermelon paleta!! Taylor was a great waitress very attentive , respectful and extremely knowledgeable. read more

Great food and great service. We had Lacy take care of our table and she did an amazing job for my daughters birthday:

Thank you Lisa for the wonderful service! We had an amazing birthday celebration at Diosa courtesy of your hospitality. Your poise, succinct knowledge of the menu items was so refreshing as we made the best choices of our delicacies. It was a great birthday celebration. Thank you Lisa, thank you Diosa for the great ambiance. read more

Beautiful restaurant! Went here for my birthday with two other couples and the food and drinks were delicious. Service was great as well. I definitely recommend this place for a special occasion. Ambiance is very elegant and romantic. read more

Been wanting to try this place out for a while but i was not missing out on anything. Food and drinks were good but for the price point, nothing worth coming back for. It is extremely nice inside and you definitely won't get the same ambience anywhere in Downey. My coworker's drink had a small bug on it and when we told the waiter, he really didn't seem to care or say sorry and just brought another drink for her. Service was okay, I think this place is definitely more of a just one time thing for me. read more

Loved this place! I'm so happy Downey has a spot like this. It's really upscale. The food was great and so were the drinks. It's beautiful and also the music was fire! Can't wait to come back!! read more

Ambiance was definitely a 5/5, comfort 2/5 the chairs were not comfortable, Service was slow & it was not busy. The food was ok some flavors were there, I ordered the Ribeye it was a 3/5 due to having to send it back because it was undercooked and thats a big deal to me because now again I have to wait. Bone Marrow (Short Rib) 3/5 due to all the grease & it could of had more flavor. I ordered a salad it never came out and sadly the Octopus that I was eager to try never came out as well smh. Dessert was 4/5 the Sundae we ordered was really good it could have had more bananas but definitely worth it. read more

Food was good but you have to pay for chips and salsa which is an insult to Mexican restaurants, I ordered 2 orders of empanadas and was charged for them but didn't receive the items I was charged for. I didn't want to make a scene and I ended up paying $450.00 for 5 people. Honestly this place has a great ambiance but if I am going to pay these prices, I rather go to Beverly Hills or Malibu, not worth it at all. Paco's in Culver City, Gloria's in Downey are far better choices and you will feel better after you leave, this place doesn't give you any value for your money read more

We celebrated my wife birthday here, the ambience was very pleasant, food was delicious and the service David provided was great very knowledgeable and friendly, definitely recommend. read more

I have been here a few times now, mainly for drinks so my review will be merely on the bar. Drinks are good I haven't explored the menu much but their skinny margarita is amazing. Ryan is amazing! Superb customer service even through the rush. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because seems like not all bartenders have the same recipe for drinks. Last night I had to have my skinny margarita remade twice. read more

The food was ok. The service left much to be desired, but the ambiance was beautiful. You very quickly forget that you're in a strip mall in Downey because of the amount of thought and time that was clearly taken in decorating the very lux interior. With that being said the service was a bit disappointing. We stopped in at 7 on a Wednesday and it was very clearly not busy but there was still a wait time. Once we were seated it took a while to get someone to come back to take our drink order or even our food order. When we finally placed our orders it took even longer to get anything to our table. For comparison there was a table next to us seated 20-30 minutes after we were and we all got food and drinks at the same time. The food was okay once it finally came out. Nothing to write home about. The carnitas were very dry, but the salsas were spicy and flavorful. The drinks were very pretty but again nothing extraordinary. Overall I'd say if you want a very instagramable dining experience this is the place for you, other than that it's a once is enough for me! read more

Good food and drinks. Definitely an experience away from downtown La. Nice to have a restaurant like this in the area and away from the madness. read more

This place had everything, ambience, food, drinks, plus service. I will be returning

Celebrated a Birthday, excellent drinks and food. Love the enchilada plate, guava cheese. read more

See all

Service was bad at the start with the host. Everything else was a snowball effect. For what your pay the service is horrible.
