This review is long over due. I don't know where to start. I was told about this place from my friend, she is always on the hunt for the best spots to eat in LA & OC area so it was no surprise that she picked such a yummy spot. I walked in here not knowing what to expect, especially because the outside of this joint looks very sad & worn-out (kinda like a man who has been married for over 20 years & decided it would be cheaper to keep her). OK, I'm exaggerating it didn't look that bad! I walked in was greeted by Ali a gentlemen who I think was the owner. He was super kind & had a huge smile on his face. I think we ordered everything on the menu haha! the burritos, everything fries, shawerma, kabob. My friends and I are middle eastern and we are very picky about our middle eastern food, but this place was great! The taste of the food and portion sizes exceeded our expectations, I wish i had pictures to post but I think there is enough on here already to make your mouth water. I wish I had time to write a lengthy review but I dont so Ill leave you with this, if you don't try this place you will regret it forever! I never knew I could love food as much as I did after trying this place out. I will be back :) read more

1/8/22 - I ordered the zinger burger but not only was the order cold but the chicken was overcooked. Disappointed. 1/9/22-Update to my last review: However, I do want to add that the owner gives fantastic customer service. He offered to refund me for the burger immediately after seeing my past review and suggested that when I am in their town in future, they'll gladly prepare an order I will be satisfied with. In this day and age, it is wonderful to see an owner take care of his customers so much. Hence, I would definitely recommend Fatima's Grill! I am looking forward to a much better experience Thank you so much! read more

It's alright. The meat they used is just ok. I had the hot cheetos chicken patty and it barely had any flavoring. It tasted a little bland. It is not as great as they promote it to be. I suppose I'm picky, but if you want to try a good hot cheetos burrito I would HIGHLY recommend you go to Paraiso Juice bar they burrito is Let's see if I visit this place again and change my review, but as of now it was not the best fusion food I have tried. read more

The nacho hot Cheeto fries are SOOOOO good! I recommend you request guacamole; it makes something great better. I also tried their Mac n cheese burrito and carne asada hot Cheeto burrito, they were also very tasty. The food service was also great. The owner personally wipes your tables and makes sure you're taken care of. The menu had a variety of items for everyone; healthy and not so healthy. Overall, I had a good experience and highly recommend it. Be aware it is very filling food so pace yourself and really savor it. If you think you've had enough, trust yourself, but I understand that the food is too tasty to stop. read more

So I came here for the first time after Pete recommended it. I checked out the yelp rating and the instagram post. The owner is Big on posting on social media and he got me with the Volcano Carne Asada Fries. So I stopped by and got them they were $20 and it serves about 4 normal people. The owner told me he normally does not sell these for take out because you can't close the lid but I told him I would take the risk. It was a big portion of food, so much me and my wife had seconds the next day and they still tasted delicious. I will be going back for something else to try of their menu. read more

We walked in here not knowing what to expect, Mexican food or ??? We found a Yelp coupon for this place and decided to try it out. I'm so glad we did. The owner (the man at the counter im assuming is the owner) was incredibly kind. We ordered our food and when it was finished he gave us a free soda because we were new. Such great customer service, it doesn't come around that often. I walked out of there already knowing they deserve a great review. I ordered the Man burrito which was supposed to have hot cheetos in it, it didn't, and let me tell you, this thing was so tasty I didn't even care that my order was wrong! Hands down the best burrito I've ever had, plus the creamy hot sauce went so well with it. Just perfection all around. read more

Came here for lunch on Memorial Day Monday and was greeted by Ali with a smile and GREAT service. He knew I would be sharing the burrito I ordered and asked if I wanted it cut in half. He made great recommendations and even gave us some ice cold water since it was so hot out. This is the kind of place I hope will always have business because they know how to treat their customers right! Not to mention the food and side sauces were AMAZING. Bomb food and even better service. What more can you ask for?! Ali, the dedication to your craft and genuine love for people do not go unnoticed. Thank you! :) read more

A nice place ran by nice people . But the 4 is for creativity . The taste is 3 for me but still worth a try because they offer SO much on their menu and I only tried 2 things . My husband and I ordered the 5lb 3 meat burrito . It was good but the only thing is we ate it immediately yet the hot Cheetos were already losing their crunch . So I would just get it without the hot Cheetos just get some hot Cheetos on the side and eat them while you eat the burrito. I also got a plate with Dolma ( stuffed grape leaves and hummus . That was good . I will come back again to try something else like the shawarma wraps or hot Cheetos tamale . read more

It had caught my attention before, but we were usually there early in the morning before it opened. Last week, I finally had the chance to try it. While my brother waited in the Chick-fil-A drive-thru, I walked over to give it a shot. I generally prefer sit-down restaurants over fast food, and since I had never tried Afghan cuisine before, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to experience something new. Although I ordered my food to go, I found the restaurant to be small but very welcoming. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Ordering was easy thanks to both traditional menus and a digital screen displaying photos, descriptions, and prices of the dishes. For someone unfamiliar with Afghan food, that made a big difference, and the staff was great at making recommendations as well. I ordered two dishes--unfortunately, I can't remember their names--but both were absolutely delicious. I also tried a Salam Cola and another traditional drink that seemed to contain yogurt and herbs. I'll be honest: that drink was a little too strong for my taste, and I couldn't finish it. But that's part of trying something new! Overall, the food was excellent, the service was warm, and I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone. I would definitely come back, and next time I'd stay and enjoy my meal at the restaurant instead of taking it to go. It's the kind of place that deserves to be experienced properly. I'd also encourage others to give new cuisines a chance--you never know what hidden gem you might discover.

Between the amazing food and the kindness they showed, they've earned a loyal customer. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious tacos in LA!

Located in Downey, CA, Fatima's Grill is a hidden gem that offers a delectable blend of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. Recently, I had the pleasure of trying out their menu, which includes a variety of dishes, including the Hot Cheetos Burrito, Shawrma Mix Wrap, 3 Meats Kabob Platter, and Philly Cheese Steak. The first thing that caught my attention was the warm and inviting ambiance of the restaurant. The comfortable seating and beautiful décor create a relaxing atmosphere that is perfect for enjoying a meal. The staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly, providing excellent service throughout the evening. Now, let's talk about the food. Fatima's Grill offers an extensive menu that includes a variety of dishes, each with its unique flavor profile. One of the standout dishes was the Hot Cheetos Burrito. This unconventional dish is a must-try for those looking to try something new. The burrito is stuffed with tender meat, beans, cheese, and crunchy Hot Cheetos, making it a spicy and satisfying meal. The Shawrma Mix Wrap is another dish that stood out to me. This wrap is filled with tender, juicy meat, fresh veggies, and a tangy garlic sauce. The combination of flavors is simply divine, and the wrap is an excellent option for those looking for a lighter meal. For those who love meat, the 3 Meats Kabob Platter is a must-try. The platter comes with skewers of chicken, beef, and lamb, all cooked to perfection. The meat is tender, juicy, and full of flavor, making this platter an excellent option for those looking for a hearty meal. The Philly Cheese Steak is another dish that is worth mentioning. The sandwich is stuffed with tender, thinly sliced steak, sautéed onions, peppers, and smothered in melted cheese. The sandwich is served on a freshly baked roll and is a great option for those looking for a classic American dish with a twist. Finally, talk about some of the dishes that are already favorites on the menu. One of my favorites is the hummus. The hummus at Fatima's Grill is creamy, smooth, and has the perfect balance of lemon juice and garlic. The pita bread is warm and fresh, making it the perfect pairing for the hummus. I also appreciated the Muslim-friendly service at Fatima's Grill. Thank you very much and look forward to returning in the new future Inshallah! read more

I was really excited to check out this Mexican-Mediterranean fusion spot, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The concept sounded amazing--who wouldn't want to try shawarma tacos or chile relleno with a twist? Sadly, the execution didn't quite match the hype. First, the vibe: The decor is a mix of hip hop and Kobe Bryant tributes, which is super cool, but it's completely overshadowed by random Halloween decorations, like a Chuckie doll, that make the place feel more like a Spencer's adult store than a restaurant. It's a lot to take in, especially in such a small, cramped space where finding seating is already a challenge. Speaking of space, the wait times were rough. Even with no one ahead of me, it took 25 minutes to get my food. If there's a line? You're looking at closer to an hour. Oh, and heads up--there are no bathrooms for customers, which is pretty inconvenient for a place that can get so packed. Now, for the food: I loved the creativity of the menu--tacos with Cheetos, shawarma with Mexican flavors--but the quality was hit-or-miss. The chile relleno taco was loaded with flavor, but the beef shawarma was tough and overly gamy. Not what I was hoping for at all. Ordering was straightforward with the kiosk tablets or the option to order with a staff member. The woman who helped me was nice, but I noticed she was a bit sarcastic with the customer ahead of me, which was awkward. Overall, I wanted to love this spot, but the long waits, cramped seating, inconsistent food, and chaotic atmosphere were too much. Cool concept, but they need to refine the experience before I'd consider coming back. read more

Fatima Grill is a culinary gem that masterfully blends Lebanese, Mexican, and Halal flavors into a unique and delightful dining experience. From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home. The menu offers a wide array of dishes, and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and creativity. I started with the asada burrito and chicken shawarma. The asada burrito was packed with tender, flavorful meat and fresh ingredients, wrapped in a perfectly grilled tortilla. The chicken shawarma was equally impressive, with tender and juicy chicken seasoned to perfection. For the main course, I opted for the chicken shawarma tacos. This fusion of Mexican and Lebanese cuisines was nothing short of amazing. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the spices were perfectly balanced. The fresh toppings and homemade tortillas added a fantastic touch. One of the highlights was the Halal aspect of the menu. It's great to see a restaurant that caters to diverse dietary preferences without compromising on taste or quality. The staff at Fatima Grill were friendly and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. The restaurant was clean, and the ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it a great place for both casual meals and special occasions. Overall, Fatima Grill exceeded my expectations. Whether you're craving traditional Lebanese dishes, flavorful Mexican cuisine, or a unique fusion of both, this restaurant is a must-visit. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their delicious offerings! read more

I like Lebanese quisine and I am a regular customer at Fatima Halal Meat Market, on Florence Avenue in Bell, CA. But that is not the reason I am giving a 5 star review here. Fatima's Grill is like an extension to their Meat Market. I have tried almost every Arab/Lebanese eatery in Orange County and Mr. Ali and his food beats them all. And here's why...Mr. Ali and his staff are very caring and attending to my needs and wants. I sometimes even tell them how I want my food made and they oblige. For the price I pay for the food, this is a quality that I value. Expect the same treatment for yourself also. The quality of the food is home cooked and nothing beats that. The sauces they use, you cannot find them any where else in Southern California. Their spices are not one fits all dishes, like you find in most restaurants today. Their salads, hummus and tabbouleh are all homemade. This gives their food a distinct Lebanese authenticity that I have not found anywhere else, yet.They are small now, but I am hoping for them to grow in the future. But the thing I like the most about these guys is that I can call in advance and have specialized Lebanese foods made for me. For example, grilled chicken, makluba, kibbeh and bulgur. These I have already ordered and had made. So go and try these guys out. Lebanese cuisine is one of the most healthiest in the world. Considering the prices they offer, you have nothing to loose. read more

Decided to see what all the hype was about this place. I stood in line for about 45 minutes then I ordered my food. After about 30 minutes my food came. Had their Carne asada burrito. Meat was hard. Taste like they save the left overs from the night before. I asked the owner if I can order something else because the burrito just did not taste right. The guy rolls his eyes and started to argue with me and said "it's an acquired taste you will get use to it." I was a bit surprised he was trying convince me to eat something I clearly did not like. As I was looking thru the menu to order something else this guy started arguing with another gentleman. I think he was a customer from the business next door because Fatimas was really packed and they were probably taking up space from the other business. Looks like this guy has a lot on his plate. Maybe since his business is so popular he should move it to the Promenade where there is clearly more space to handle his clientele. Any ways I guess that gentleman must of upset him so much he forgot about me. To much drama at Fatimas forget this place, it's only a burrito. He clearly has no approach on how to handle complaints and has no respect for his business neighbors.I just left and went to Tacos Gavilan. I gave 2 stars for the effort. read more

Mixed Feelings: Teen Foodie's Perspective My recent visit to a restaurant, based on my 16-year-old son's reaction to their food, left us with mixed feelings. As avid food enthusiasts, we often explore different dining spots recommended on Instagram or through online searches. This particular restaurant, while not far from our house, proved to be both impressive and overwhelming. The menu boasted a variety of tantalizing options, albeit at a steep price point. Portions were generous, almost too much for one sitting. We opted to try their burrito, a unique concoction filled with chips, corn, and coated in hot Cheeto dust. While I found the abundance of Cheetos overwhelming, my son absolutely loved it, devouring it with gusto. In our enthusiasm to sample various items, we may have bitten off more than we could chew. Our bill totaled nearly $70, and while the experience was memorable, it left us feeling a bit overwhelmed. In hindsight, I would recommend trying one item at a time to fully appreciate the flavors without feeling inundated. Overall, while the restaurant offers intriguing and sizable portions, the hefty price tag and overwhelming flavors may not be for everyone. It's worth a try, but perhaps approach with caution and a selective palate. read more

"I recently visited Fatima's Grill in Downey, California, and was blown away by their unique and delicious Hot Cheeto burger. This isn't your average burger; it's a flavor explosion! The combination of the juicy patty, fresh toppings, and the fiery crunch of Hot Cheetos is simply irresistible. It's a must-try for any burger lover looking for something different. Beyond the burger, I was impressed with the excellent service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome. It's clear they take pride in providing a great dining experience. What's even better is that Fatima's Grill offers all this at a very reasonable price. You get a lot of bang for your buck, making it a great option for a satisfying and affordable meal. Hygiene is also clearly a priority at Fatima's Grill. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, which added to the overall positive experience. It's reassuring to know that the food is prepared in a clean and sanitary environment. If you're in Downey, California, I highly recommend checking out Fatima's Grill. Whether you're craving the Hot Cheeto burger or looking for a tasty meal with great service and prices, Fatima's Grill won't disappoint!" read more

If you're looking for food that feeds the soul as much as the stomach, Fatima's Grill is absolutely worth the drive. I come all the way from Pasadena because nothing compares to the flavor, energy, and experience here. Every dish is authentic with an incredible twist of cuisines that somehow works perfectly every single time. The food is bold, fresh, creative, and unforgettable. And Liza is truly the heart of this place. Her positive energy lights up the entire restaurant. She treats everyone like family and you can genuinely feel the love she puts into everything. It's rare to find a place where the atmosphere is just as amazing as the food, but Fatima's Grill delivers both. You don't just leave full, you leave happy. This spot has become more than a restaurant for me, it's a whole vibe. Amazing people, amazing energy, and seriously some of the best food I've had anywhere. I'll gladly keep making the drive from Pasadena because places like this are one of one. Highly recommend! read more
