    CHIPS AND SALSA
    Lisa B.

    Great customer service and good food. The tacos and burritos were good! I like the flavor of the salsas available. They do a lot of to go orders. They also have yummy desserts available! The restaurant is clean with a calm atmosphere. I will definitely come back to try other items on the menu

    Pre ordered delivery for a Sunday morning and it was all delivered right on time. Tried the Birria and the Menudo. Birria was the better tasting and better value. Because you get a lot of tasty beef. Consume is flavorful. The menudo well it's good as well just was not as plentiful as the birria. We had also ordered the guacamole sauce and it is perfection. It was delivery so can't say anything about the dine in experience. Certainly will make Fuego Cravings in to our rotation.

    First time checking out this place- here's our take aways. Friendliness and Service = 10++ (thank you, Keary + team)! Food and drinks = 9 just cuz I don't like drinks that are too sweet Cleanliness = 10 Price = $ Bathroom = clean! Definitely worth coming back to!

    QUESABIRRIAS SPECIAL & JARRITOS
    Larissa T.

    My husband and I had been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. We stopped by recently for lunch, and were so glad we did! We both ordered the Quesabirria Special and Jarritos sodas. The Quesabirria Special comes with consommé (broth from the birria meat to dip the tacos in) and a side of chips, beans, and rice. We were also given red and green salsa (both were tasty) on the side. Both of us thought the food was very delicious, flavorful, and filling. The Jarritos were the perfect addition to our meals. We were also given a free sample of arroz con leche for dessert, which was tasty and much appreciated! The staff here were very friendly, attentive, and polite. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and felt at ease while dining. The interior of the restaurant was clean, had a relaxing atmosphere, and a good amount of places to sit. They had music playing at a comfortable listening level in the background as well. Overall it was a great experience, and we definitely want to come back soon!

    STREET TACOS SPECIAL

    Fuego is absolutely the best!! We go here pretty regularly. It doesn't get tooo busy inside the restaurant but there's some outside seating too. They have an app too and I recommend for points and discounts. The employees are also super helpful and friendly.

    This place is incredible! I can't say enough how much I enjoyed the amazing food, incredible service (so friendly and helpful) and the clean, welcoming atmosphere. Best horchata I've ever had, the churro bites with the sweetened condensed milk was so yummy, the fries were crisp and hot, the nachos were delicious with perfect carne asada and the taquitos de papas were so good. Also the esquite was super good. Highly recommend recommend!

    Pulled up to Fuego Cravings' newer Whittier, CA location for Taco Tuesday and those $1.99 tacos were worth it! They've got multiple SoCal locations, an extensive Mexican food menu, and daily deals you can take advantage of all week long. What we ordered: Surf and Turf fries $16.99 Whittier Burrito $14.99 Quesabirria Special $14.99 Birria street taco $1.99

    WHITTIER BURRITO
    Allison W.

    I tried this spot recently and it was a great experience: Service was quick, food came out fresh, and the portions felt generous for the price. Quesabirria SpecialThe Quesabirria was delicious, especially with the delicious consume. The tortillas were crisp, the cheese had a good pull, and the meat was tender and well seasoned. The consomé had rich flavor and tied everything together. It also came with beans, rice, and chips. Whittier BurritoThe burrito was big, packed evenly, and did not fall apart. Each bite was delicious and incredibly flavorful. Good balance of salt and spice. Easy to split between two people if you are also ordering sides. Hot Cheeto FriesThese were a fun item if you like heavier food. Fries stayed fairly crisp under the toppings. The Hot Cheetos added heat and crunch without overpowering the sauce and cheese. Best to share, since it is very filling. Churro BitesGreat way to end the meal. The churro bites were warm, with a nice crunch outside and a sweet cream filling on the inside. The dipping sauce was a sweet condensed milk and paired perfectly with the churros! Overall a wonderful experience and I would love to come back to try new menu items.

    Shrimp asada burrito
    Crystal B.

    First time trying this place, it was really good. I ordered for pick up had the chicken potato taquitos and Asada shrimp burrito. They do put the shrimp hole, not chopped in the burrito. My husband had the birria burrito and said it was juicy not like some other places where the meat is dry. I do feel like the chicken and potato taquitos could've been a little bit better. Maybe it was the tortilla I don't know. But I do like that they're a Jesus Christ based establishment. I noticed on the receipt it said God bless you and your family with a scripture.

    We came here last week for the first time ever and we were impressed with the service, the flavor and the quality of food! It's your typical hole in the wall spot but with so much more ! We loved it so much the first time that we had to come back today with our kids. (They are the real judges) Happy to say they loved it as much! Today Christina was the cashier and gave us Great service ! And as the cherry on top ...they have board games available while you wait for food! Overall a DEFINITELY 5 star experience And absolutely recommend

    This food was amazing! We had the al pastor burrito and the street taco special (pastor, asada and carnitas) and everything tasted so good! The service was excellent and we loved the relaxed vibe in here. We will definitely return!

    This morning, I decided to break from my usual routine and forgo attending a service, opting…read moreinstead for a quiet moment at a local coffee shop. The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.

However we were going either way because it was also our featured DJ's birthday. We made reservations but that was difficult too as we called for several days until someone actually answered the phone. I was a little surprised because the food we ordered were all pretty tasty, decent portions, and reasonably priced. The service was ok. Orders took a little time to arrive, but they made sure we had chips and salsa and with a full crowd and a limited number of wait staff, they made sure we were still being attended too. It is very loud here with a full restaurant of diners, the live DJ and football games going with loud cheering fans, so if you have sensitive hearing, bring some ear plugs.

    I went on a taco run yesterday to try to find the best taco in Whittier…read more Started off the run with a keto taco mixed with asada and al pastor and then a regular tripa taco. Keto taco - toasted/grilled cheese instead of a regular tortilla - needed to be done a little more on one side as the cheese wasn't quite toasty enough to stay in place to slightly resemble the shape of a taco. Bit hard to eat, covered my hands in grease. Asada tastes almost boiled, and this being my 2nd or 3rd time getting the Asada here, it consistently tastes like it was boiled and not grilled. Unsure of meat quality or preparation, but there are no grill marks and it's a bit chewy. Same with the al pastor. Tripa taco was bizarre. Strips of flat skin instead of the usual roundish, cylindrical shape of tripa (intestine). Usually a saltier, fattier meat than asada, which is my preference but the one here was lacking in flavor and the texture threw me off a bit. Tripa can be chewy - unless requested extra done, which is how I normally order it - but there was no saving this tripa. I think it needs to be sliced differently, the cuts made it inedible. Brother shared some of his chorizo taco and it was the better of the bunch. Red chorizo, TJ style, although it was also lacking a teeny bit in flavor... onions and cilantro to the rescue! Still, mediocre. Salsas were ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't think the tortillas were homemade. Service was fine, cashier takes your order, dude at the counter was chill and had a friendly attitude. Seating was limited. Mostly bar style seating but the majority was in front of a window and it had so much heat trapped from the glass that it was kind of uncomfortable. Other seats are too close to the bathroom. Good for a quick bite or just pick-up orders. Wouldn't plan a sit down/dine-in visit. Parking is scarce and has really small spots, wouldn't come if you're driving a pick-up truck or anything like that. Food was reasonably priced, which is good, however; the food was lacking so I would not return.

    Best mexican breakfast in town. If you are looking for a delicious home-style cooked meal this is…read morethe place. They have chilaquiles and platos with nopalitos, which is how you know it's good. A nice and small cozy place to come and enjoy a breakfast or dinner with family. Just good food and good service all around. The menudo and omelettes are really good.

    Truly so disappointed !!!…read more First of all the server was super rude - trying to talk in Spanish like we didn't know what she was saying and got surprised when we answered in Spanish ! Second the menudo was super cold - I asked for pata and was charged for a bone and a bit of nervio (you can tell it was literally just bone ) like who would pay for nothing ? And why would you make someone pay for something Que se Mira Que no tenias !!! The chilaquiles - I was not given sour cream - la salsa estaba bien espesa !!! And then we asked for sour cream and they looked so surprised and still asked if we wanted some !!! The first server had such an attitude problem like she didn't want to be there ! Second server super helpful . I asked for the owner and apparently there's a new owner Porke I've never seen this owner before . I knew it was a kitchen staff member . The prices did not match what we were charged and a 4% fee in cards is crazy !!! Anyways overall I used to love this place before it became what jt is now sadly ! I was super happy to bring my family because the food has always been top quality and truly this time everything was super disappointing !!

    We were looking for a brunch place that was open after 2pm and this gem on a Sunday afternoon…read more We walked in and while it was kinda busy were helped soon. We ordered all kinds of food and everything we had was good. The restaurant is clean and has a cool vibe, not super Instagramable but not bad. We also got two margaritas they were good and strong! The food was the best part!

    Some brunch spots are all hype, while others surprise you with a few standout dishes that make the…read morevisit worthwhile. A weekend brunch with friends brought me to Madre's Whittier, where the menu offered plenty of tempting options--and a few unexpected lessons about ordering seafood. I tried the Ensenada Omelet, loaded with shrimp, salmon, crab, and octopus. Now, I'm a seafood lover, but octopus and I aren't exactly close friends. I asked if it could be removed, but since the seafood mix is pre-made, the octopus had already RSVP'd to the party. The omelet was good, topped with a creamy sauce, but not something I'd order again. The crab appeared to be imitation crab, and while everything was prepared well, it just wasn't a standout for me. The real star? The strawberry pancakes. Delicious! Next time, I'd order those with a side of eggs and call it a win. I also sampled the chilaquiles, and now that's a dish I'd come back for. The Tiramisu Latte was another favorite--not overly sweet and packed with that classic tiramisu flavor I love. A special shoutout to our waitress, Annie, who was attentive, friendly, and made our brunch experience even better. My Verdict: Skip the Ensenada Omelet and build your brunch around the stars of the menu instead. The strawberry pancakes are the must-order item, the chilaquiles are a strong savory choice, and the Tiramisu Latte ties everything together. If you order wisely, Madre's delivers a brunch worth coming back for.
