    Wet "Shredded Beef Burrito" is what was ordered, but rcvd a Steak Burrito with extra rice instead. ‍
    Cory G.

    I thought this place would be so bomb, especially since it's in El Monte but it lacked flavor and the burritos are filled with rice, not the quality ingredients you'd expect. I heard there's other location in Downey that might better but I haven't tried it yet.

    A friend and I started coming here to try the happy hour specials in the bar. Our first visit was in April. The food is tasty and Edwin and Alex in the bar area are great and very attentive servers. But I also noticed that every time we were there, the door to the women's restroom would never close completely or not at all. It appeared they had tried to fix it, but the problem persisted. On May 8th we decided to stop by for happy hour and once again service and food were great! But the women's restroom door couldn't be pushed closed at all this time. So I asked to speak to a manager. Guillermo Bonilla came out immediately. I informed him how great the food and service were in my experience, but also asked why they couldn't fix the door. He explained they had attempted several times but that the problem would come back. I shared my discomfort and he quickly reassured me he'd take care of it. Well, immediately within 10 minutes, workers were there to fix the problem. Thank you Guillermo. I appreciate when management actively listens to their customers and takes action. I love to spend my hard earned money where I feel customers are appreciated and that we matter. This place has become one of my favorite spots!

    Shrimp ceviche

    Great customer service! Love how I'm greeted with such a warm welcoming. Food is always fresh and tasty. Cool layout and where the bar is located. Cool vibes.

    Ambiance and happy hour was lit. The service was good and they accommodated our large group. We stayed for hours.

    Killer margaritas and shot flights; the Bar is trendy. Happy hour is a must. This place is quickly becoming a local favorite. Portions are decent. I love the nachos and quesadilla here Service is a hit or miss, but it's okay. When you have good company, the chips and salsa are fire. It is very spacious and great for large parties.

    Aguachiles
    Erika M.

    This was my family's first time eating at this establishment. We normally visit the W. Covina location. I decided on the Aguachiles because I love shrimp and I wanted to try something new. My go to is always the fish and/or shrimp ceviche. The portion seemed small but they were tasty. I like my shrimp to be a bit more cooked. Service was great! And the ambiance was relaxing. We did not sit in the bar area. We sat in the dining area. I would definitely return to this location. I probably would not order the same dish because of the portion size. I think that would have been better as a lunch size option.

    The menu book is very animated LOL so many photos and options. Their guacamole is delicious! It is a must try! The price is worth the portion and the price. I ordered the salmon with rice and shared with my husband. It is very filling and they cooked the salmon perfectly. I think next time I will try their burrito. It is super big and looks tasty too. The service is amazing and friendly. Their service time is fast. Parking is free. www.serenescreen.com

    Inside the restaurant

    As I entered this restaurant I absolutely loved the 2024 New Years decorations. I also loved that they had so many televisions everywhere, and some of them had the Star Wars movie on them. This place is not that big but it looks like it can hold a lot of people. Everything looked clean and well decorated. The service we received was great! Our waitress had a huge party of us to deal with and she handled everything perfectly. She made sure everyone was taken care of at all times. I just wish I had gotten her name because she was amazing. Now to the food. I seriously thought the food was way over priced for what you got. My shrimp cocktail was $19 which is way more than I pay at better restaurants. There also wasn't that many shrimp in my cocktail. Although it was good tasting, it wasn't worth the price for me. My husband ordered a beef taco plate. We noticed that the beef taco had hardly any beef. It had a teaspoon worth of beef inside the taco but it was mixed with a ton of onions to make it appear full of beef. My husband hates onions so this didn't got well for him. The beans on everyone's plate seemed like canned beans. I saw a bunch of dishes that we ordered and none of them seemed worth the prices. Everyone agreed. Although the service was great, I definitely wouldn't return to this location because of the prices. The food just wasn't worth it for us.

It's just off one of the Main Street. I haven't spent anytime in this city so everything was all new to me. We found street parking right out front but did noticed when we got inside that they had a parking lot out back. The place isn't that big. A dive bar of sort but was quite nice. One side is the bar and counter while the other side host three pool tables. There's also a couple of hi top table in the middle. They did offer happy hour everyday from 4-8 pm with free pool. And free pool Tuesday Thursday and Sunday all day. Drinks specials offered as well. We only popped in for a drink which was glad to know that happy hour was happening. The bartender behind was sweet. It wasn't that busy when we walked in. Bartender and a couple people utilizing the pool table. It was pretty chill but I'm sure it can get busy later on in the evening. Drinks specials offered were quite nice for the price. We also tried their spicy margaritas which was great. Bartender knows his skills. Also, a quick round of pool. The vibe was mellow and chill. Don't know if the music changes often but it was somewhat metal that was going on when we walked in. Crowd was great as they were all there for the same reason. Drinks and pool. Overall, it was a cool place for a pint and pool. Somewhere people meet up for drinks.

The turkey and avocado wrap was okay 3/5 because it had barely any avocado but the fried chicken was pretty good. My daughter ordered the Mac and cheese with fries and no complaints there. This place is covered in tvs so it's perfect to watch all sports and have a drink. I'd definitely go back for drinks and try something different on the menu. I can't really speak to service since this isn't a traditional sit down spot but the worker at the counter was decent and the food runner too. Overall lively atmosphere to enjoy time with friends and family!

    0/5 Take-out review:…read more Ordered for pick up at 4:25pm. Got in line more than 10mins early - and I literally saw my pickup order waiting on the side of the register area, of which they had ONE PERSON working the register on a holiday, causing the line to go out the door. Sweet . No way to just be like - hey, can I get my food? No - order ahead, and still wait in a line that is out the door because the Dodgers played an hour ago, and now the World Cup is on - ON FATHER'S DAY- and we don't want to pay more than one cashier during this craaaazy time. ‍‍‍ Received my food at 4:30pm (after being there at 4:15 and ALREADY SEEING IT SAT THERE), and I even told the person at the register "it feels cold," and she said "So sorry!" I believe her, because it's not her fault (it's management/ownership)- but she just looked at me so I left. Ordered a chili cheese burger: Asked for chili on the side so the bun wouldn't be extra gross and soggy during the 11 minute drive home. Got a regular double burger, with no cheese. Also, no chili on the side. Or on the burger. It was just a mediocre double hamburger.....yay? My fish, which admittedly I dipped into on the drive home...? Not cooked. It was literally so gross I spit it out. The outside wasn't flaky/crispy - it was cold, moist, and uncooked. Because it touched the "wedges", all of it was thrown out. We ordered pizza. Clearman's is officially, and forever going forward, a no-go. I'm sure it's meh for dine-in, because we've dined in before. But to-go? Absolutely no.

    I found this spot when looking for breweries in the area…read more This spot looks like it's by the metro station. Theres ample parking in the back entrance. Which was the confusing part since there's another entrance. The gps sent me to the back of the brewery lol. Once we entered we realized that lol. The spot is decorated with lots of videogame merch which was aesthetic. The menu includes seltzers, lagers, & ipa. We tried the lager & seltzer which were both 10/10. There's also snacks such as chips/popcorn. What's pretty fun are the TV's mounted at tables where you can play some of the games. Smash bros to Mario cart. They also have sega games which was pretty cool to see. The staff was friendly and open to questions. The day we went was pretty quiet, I'm hoping to visit with a bigger group so we can play some of their game selection.

Thanks and cheers to the kind person that bought our drink. Sometimes I like to save it for another veteran but today I was thinking... no you know what.. this one's for me this time. So thank you. Last time I came here, I enjoyed their stout. Today, I enjoyed the El cachorro. Solid Mexican lager. Glad we found our way back here.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, as I generally try to support businesses and highlight positive…read moreexperiences. However, my experience here raised serious concerns due to what felt like misleading and inconsistent business practices. We found this venue on Yelp for a birthday party, and initially everything sounded great--almost too good to be true. Thankfully, I kept text messages documenting what was discussed, and we had others who could confirm those conversations. After placing a deposit, the experience quickly raised red flags. There was no formal service agreement when I requested one to confirm terms, and pricing began to shift leading up to the event--hourly rates, equipment rentals, and additional charges were inconsistent from what was originally communicated. With the event only a few days away, we felt we had no choice but to move forward despite these concerns. During the event, there were also uncomfortable interactions between the owner and my guests, including issues around cleanup and unexpected implications of added fees that had never been discussed. Final charges (outside of the bar tab) were informally presented, which further reflected a lack of professionalism and organization. After the event, upon reviewing everything more carefully, I realized I had been overcharged compared to what was originally agreed upon, which was extremely frustrating and reinforced my concerns around transparency. Most concerning, photos from our private event--including images of children--were later posted publicly for promotional use without our knowledge or consent. When addressed, the response we received was dismissive and did not acknowledge our concerns. I took time before writing this to ensure I was being fair and objective. Unfortunately, the pattern of misleading communication, lack of clear agreements, and post-event overcharging made this a very negative experience. If you do consider this venue, I strongly recommend getting a detailed written agreement covering all terms, pricing, and policies in advance. Based on my experience, I would not return or recommend this location.
