    Birria tacos
    Trini M.

    Stopped by on Friday for lunch after running errands with the family. The place had just opened, so it was empty. We wanted to catch the game that started at 10 am, but unfortunately they weren't able to put it on for us. The food menu is pretty limited. My husband and I ordered the birria tacos and he also got the esquite, while our son went with the Dirt Dog. What I did like was the large selection of tall cans... my husband got a draft beer and I had a White Claw. Based on the menu pictures, I had higher expectations. My son devoured his hot dog, which looked really good, but the birria tacos were a letdown. They were really small, and while the price reflected the portion size, I still wasn't impressed with the taste or quality. This spot seems like a cool spot to hang out, grab drinks, and watch games, but the food left something to be desired.

    SMALL Dirty Chili Fries, Elote Dog
    Alyssa N.

    The menu is great if you want a cheat meal! I got the chili fries and the elote dog. I recommend getting the lobster roll bun instead of the hot dog one! It's super buttery and crispy, similar to cane's bread!

    LA L.A. Cheesesteak
    Joey R.

    Stopped by The Compound and tried the LA Cheesesteak and the Chili Dog, and both absolutely delivered. The LA Cheesesteak topped bacon wrapped dog was loaded -- tender, juicy steak with perfectly grilled onions, melty cheese, and a soft toasted roll that held everything together without falling apart. Super flavorful, rich, and exactly what you want from a legit cheesesteak. The Chili Dog was just as impressive. The chili was hearty and well-seasoned, not greasy, with crispy bacon, fresh onions, and herbs on top that added great texture and balance. Messy in the best way possible. Portions were generous, food came out hot, and everything tasted fresh and made with care. This is definitely the kind of spot you come to when you're craving indulgent, satisfying street food without the hassle of hunting down a food truck or cart. Service is swift and on point.

    Love the DUI dog with pastrami, bacon cheese, awesome. I will be back. This is fun street food. Great atmosphere good venue. Really something special and different. right off the 5 freeway

    I have/had 80% of these cassettes/CDs!

    The Compound must be the Dirt Dog headquarters because it's massive and is set up like a distribution warehouse. I came here for a music event in the evening and although they typically close at 8:30pm on Saturday, they continued to serve food till 11:30pm for event attendees. I appreciated them for doing that! All the staff were really nice and service was decent. Tucked away in an industrial area of Commerce, you'll pull up to a large lot with a spacious outdoor seating area with interactive games for kids and a dope mural of Kobe, Snoop, Ice Cube and Nipsey Hustle. Upon entering, you can order at the bar and checkout the cool hip hop art work displayed throughout the dining area. They must have some awesome events utilizing the empty warehouse next to the dining area. The sound system was bumpin and the crowd was vibin the night I was there. I had the Elote Dog ($12.50), which was a bacon wrapped hot dog topped with corn, lime mayo, cotija cheese, chili powder, cilantro and bacon bits. It tasted just like the street corn I buy from my neighborhood vendors and I'm glad I opted for the buttery lobster roll bread. If I was more hungry, I would've tried the loaded fries, churros and fried oreos with horchata whipped cream! Next time!

    Tried this place for the first time. It was okay. I got the meal- house dog, esquite, and drink. The house dog has lots of toppings but towards the second half, it was spicy but there isn't anything spicy. Then the esquite was okay but it got salty... Personally, probably won't come again. If I do, I'll probably try the tacos.

    The restaurant was closed when I arrived today 6/12/26 2pm . I look forward to eating here every Friday after class but the security was rude and uninformative , I don't want to go back .

    I had no idea what to expect today, but I was seriously surprised. This has to be one of the wildest places I've ever walked into for the first time. Huge murals of hip-hop artists all over the walls, old-school 90s music blasting, the music I used to spin back in the day when I was DJing. Every song took me back. I had no clue a place like this even existed, especially hidden in the middle of some industrial complex. You'd never think thete would be a restaurant, but yeah, there is, and it's a cool one! There's a big bar in the middle, and next door they've got a full-on venue for concerts and wrestling. The whole setup is sick. The menu? Totally insane. All the hot dogs looked wild, but I ended up going with the Elote Dog. This thing was loaded. Grilled corn, cotija cheese, mayo, chili powder, cilantro, bacon bits, and a fat slice of lime right on top. And this hot dog wasn't small either, you need a fork just to get into it. Every bite had flavor. The corn and lime together hit just right, the bacon gave it that crunch, and the cheese pulled it all together. Super good. This spot was a little off the route I usually take, but now I'm definitely checking out their other locations. This place was a great vibe and Jacqueline the bartender was super friendly and sweet too!

    Caught this place last minute and met some cool people here. I will definitely be back this season for a game and a beer. Vibes were awesome.

    SMALL Dirty Esquite
    Ada J.

    Ok so don't be scared by the drive here.... Between a bunch of warehouses is a good time waiting to happen! Delicious dogs topped high with quality toppings. Great outdoor space! Iconic murals and music blaring the only way LA knows how to do! Beer and wine options and large tvs to display the latest fights! A great place that cannot be missed out on!

    House Dog SMALL Dirty Chili Fries WINGS!
    Dulce L.

    Spacious sports bar. They have plenty of street parking. Tables inside and outside. Came to watch the Dodgers game with my friends and it did not disappoint. Service was friendly. They have plenty of food and beer options. The food was delicious and affordable. Great place to catch up with friends. They also have a section for kids to play.

    Garlic fries
    Guillermo S.

    I came in for garlic fries and a beer. Subpar service at best. The portion of small fries was smaller than kid's size in most other places. Music is blaring expletives. Not coming back.

    Guadalupe S.

    Worst experience ever for a party. I went to go see Dani flow on April 3, 2026 and the wait to get in was an hour and half all because the gate person was not doing a good job managing the crowd. He just kept yelling at people instead of little folks in one by one. He always locked the gate and that made people push it. I broke my arm because the crowd was getting out of control....

    Is this place clean dog friendly?

    Yes, there is an outdoor patio area. Another patron had their dog leashed sitting next to their table.

    Is it halal certified?

    It's pork bacon wrapped, so I would say no

After planning my dad's 70th birthday party last year and doing literally everything myself at a different venue, I knew this time around I wanted a place where I could actually enjoy the celebration. This venue exceeded my expectations and took so much off my plate. The owner, Gilbert, was amazing from beginning to end. He was kind, generous, flexible, and incredibly easy to work with. Whenever I had a question, he responded to my texts in a timely manner and always found a way to help. His communication and willingness to work with me made the entire planning process so much easier. The venue itself is beautiful. They have two newly renovated banquet rooms at their Bell Gardens location, along with their own parking lot. We used the smaller room, which holds around 80 guests, and it was the perfect size for our celebration. The package included so much--the food, linens, tables, chairs, plating, and even beautiful centerpieces that I was able to borrow. They also have gorgeous, Instagram-worthy backdrops, including greenery and floral walls, beautiful lighting, and a really nice bar area. And one of my favorite surprises was that the birthday cake and delivery were included! I didn't have to worry about ordering, picking up, or transporting a cake, which was one less thing for me to think about. The venue also included a bartender, while allowing us to provide our own alcohol and drinks. This was a huge plus because many of the other venues I contacted had very strict policies requiring you to purchase their alcohol, use their vendors, or prohibiting outside food and treats altogether. I really appreciated the freedom and flexibility this venue offered. There are also speakers throughout the venue if you want to play music directly from your phone. We didn't end up using them because we had our own music setup, but it's a great option to have. They also have TV screens, which gave us another way to personalize the celebration. We displayed a childhood photo of my mom on one of the screens, and at the bar we displayed a custom drink menu we created for the party. Security was another feature I really appreciated. With another banquet room right next door, security helped direct guests to the correct party and kept an eye on the property. It gave everyone peace of mind, and we didn't have to worry about constantly checking our cars or belongings outside. Our guests felt safe and comfortable throughout the evening. The decorating options were also fantastic. They allowed me to come in early the morning of the event, and because there wasn't another party scheduled the day before, they even let me decorate the day before! I had called so many other venues while researching, and none of them offered that option. Being able to get everything set up ahead of time made a huge difference for me. During the party, the staff continued to be wonderful. They were attentive, helpful, and even cleaned up throughout the event, allowing us to focus on celebrating instead of worrying about the cleanup. Another pleasant surprise was the price. Even with everything that was included, we paid a little less than we did for my dad's party last year at a different venue--and at that party, I had to handle practically everything myself. Most importantly, my family and friends loved it. After the party, several people reached out to me saying, "That place was so nice! How did you find it?" Everyone commented on the delicious food, how friendly the staff was, and how beautiful the venue looked. Hearing that from our guests meant so much to me. I am so grateful we chose this venue for such an important milestone. Gilbert and his team helped make my mom's 70th birthday truly special, and I would absolutely love to have another family celebration here in the future. If you're looking for a beautiful venue with great food, wonderful service, flexibility, and so many extras included, I highly recommend this place. You can actually enjoy your event instead of spending the entire time worrying about the details.

We received many compliments from our guests about the venue and the overall experience. Unfortunately, our experience with the owner was very different. While he fulfilled everything outlined in our contract, his interactions during setup made the process much more stressful than it needed to be. Our set up and rehearsal felt uncomfortable after being spoken to sharply, including being reprimanded for leaning on a table. When I politely asked if we could add one additional table (at a cost, if at all possible)), I was also met with a raised voice. It was a simple question. I wasn't demanding or accusatory, but he became extremely defensive. Throughout setup, it felt as though we were being closely monitored rather than supported. To be fair, the venue honored every part of our agreement, and I appreciate that. However, hospitality is about more than fulfilling a contract. On such an important day, I hoped for a little flexibility, warmth, and kindness.

Music was very loud and many people were dancing in a small dancing area. The noise level is so loud that my Apple Watch gave me a warning that exposure to this level of noise will cause hearing loss. There was a total of eleven of us. We ordered some appetizers (a combo platter with various fried stuff, and stuffed mushrooms), prime ribs, New York steak with shrimp scampi, Italian surf and turf, and many other entrees. Each entree comes with choice of soup or salad plus homemade pasta (which is a small side of spaghetti with sauce). Bread is served at the beginning. The bread is excellent. The side of spaghetti is very good. The sauce is slightly spicy which I liked. But someone at my table didn't care for it being spicy. I had the Italian surf and turf which includes 8-oz Filet mignon and 6-Oz lobster tail and lobster ravioli. The Filet mignon was okay (average). The lobster tail was over cooked. The best thing on my plate was the lobster ravioli. Needless to say, I was disappointed. For the prices they charge, I expected to have a delicious well prepared meal. Parking for this place is terrible. The parking lot is very small. Street parking is very limited. I would not be coming back. First of all, food was just average but prices are high. Secondly, It was so noisy that it made my dining experience not enjoyable. Last but not least, parking is a problem.

THANK YOU!

    The hall itself is really nice, but unfortunately the bartender and the AC were the biggest issues…read more It was HOT inside, and on top of that, the bartender they provided, Steph, was extremely rude and had an attitude with the guests. Pretty much everyone was complaining about her. There was also an issue with the drinks. She was giving guests a hard time about opening a different case of drinks because the first one wasn't finished. Like, what?! The alcohol was purchased and provided by the people throwing the party, so I don't understand why she was deciding what they could or couldn't open. The hall is nice and somewhat modern, but between how hot it was and the bartender's attitude, it definitely took away from the experience.
