Second time coming here and as a local from Whittier I'll be honest, I was skeptical at first. The…read moreDowney location didn't live up to the hype for me, felt like it was more about the banda vibe than the food. But this spot changed that. The tostada mixta had really solid savory flavor and the tacos sinaloense were on point. Definitely worth it if you're looking for both good food and a good vibe. Ambience was nice, good energy overall. Just heads up, parking can be rough. You can try Main Street or the lot if you get lucky. There is usually a waitlist too. Overall, I'll be coming back and can see this becoming a regular spot.

We really enjoyed the octopus tacos and the shrimp ceviche tostada - they give you extra tostadas and everything pairs perfectly with their draft beers! Veronica and the manager were very welcoming and accommodating considering it was our first time there! LOCATION: - Has a few tables inside and an outdoor patio with plenty of seating - really enjoyed the outdoor seating when it's good weather out! PARKING: - They have a small lot in the back with about 6 spots but plenty of street parking WAIT: -About a 20 min wait for a table for 3 on a Friday around 5 pm NOTES/DEALS: - They have social hour from 3-6 pm with discounts on drinks and draft beer! - Their paper menu is in Spanish but if you scan the QR code on the table or go on their website, they have it in Spanish + English!

Just the crawfish was 3/5, all other items 5/5! I always get garlic butter and "hot" sauce on the side. Everyone gets to enjoy the food and spicy eaters get to dip the seafood in the hot sauce! Hits the spot. Snow crab was yum!!

I kid you not every time we come here we get the same things plus more (sometimes). I always get the off the grill plate. My choice of fish is always Basa. For the seasoning you can get lemon pepper or Cajun. And it automatically comes with salad and rice with butter and choice of dressing. Oh and they include a few triangles of pita bread. The service is always amazing. They do get sometimes busy and it's sometimes a 1 woman show taking the orders and giving the orders but she's a doll! There's probably at least 3 TVs playing sports. Go Dodgers! They have a wide variety of Dodger bobble heads and memorabilia all over it. Oh and there's also an outdoor area along with heaters!

Today was the second time we visited and were not even acknowledged when we arrived. The first time we waited for a little under 10 minutes without even a hello. We left! Today, i went back and asked for the wait time after having waited for 3 min without acknowledgment so I asked on the side and i got an ambiguous answer. When i asked for clarification ... nothing. I left. I am not sure that we will go back any time soon considering the myriad of alternatives around the area. Hopefully they can get different people in the front of the restaurant with at least a little more people skills. 2 stars as the food is good.

From the…read moremoment we arrived, we were impressed by the beautiful atmosphere, spotless facility, and welcoming environment. The staff was attentive, professional, and incredibly accommodating to both me and my guests. Everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the event. The food was absolutely delicious, and the quality exceeded our expectations. One of the things we appreciated most was how clean and well-maintained everything was, along with the ample parking and overall high-quality experience. Choosing your restaurant for this special occasion was one of the best decisions I made. Thank you for your outstanding service and hospitality. I would not hesitate to book future events with you and highly recommend your restaurant to others looking for a beautiful venue, great food, and exceptional customer service.

First time at Santos Fish restaurant. We read reviews and heard the service was not so great…read more I gotta say our server Fernando was very attentive. The Zarandeado fish was excellent. It's a very large portion to feed at least 4 people. We didn't get to try any other dishes or desserts we were too full, but the leftovers were just as good. Will definitely be back to try other dishes. They have this carrot salsa which was really good. Never tried anything like it. Chips and salsa were fresh. Atmosphere was chill. Great place to have date night.

Their quality is always outstanding and their service is quick, informative, and efficient. They have a system that works and a flow that they've nailed out, especially during lunch rushes. You can tell people make this place a regular spot because sometimes I'll see customers come in and the cashiers and/or cooks immediately smile and greet them with a great welcoming. Love this spot

We ordered an asada torta and a shrimp burrito, and the food came out quickly (about 8 minutes), which was a plus. I'll be honest--the torta threw me off a bit. It had ham in it, which I wasn't expecting, and the flavor just felt a little unusual to me. I'm used to pastor having that classic red color and flavor, so this one didn't quite match what I had in mind. Overall, it was a fast and convenient stop, but the food didn't fully hit the mark for me personally.

My only hesitation with the food would be towards their steaks, which are often overcooked, dry and tend to be on the tougher side (despite me always ordering medium rare), so I do go elsewhere when I'm craving a tender, juicy steak. All their seafood, pasta, burger, and brunch dishes and desserts are top notch. Great beer selection, delicious wines and a couple of cocktail options. Definitely check it out if you're in Whittier!

Yesterday(5/30/2026), I went to Boston Lobster for lunch with one of my best friends. Whenever…read morewe're in this area, we usually get a massage first and then come here for lunch. This time, we ordered the Shrimp with Cashew Nuts and the Beef with Chinese Broccoli. The Shrimp with Cashew Nuts was absolutely delicious, but unfortunately, the Beef with Chinese Broccoli was extremely salty. After just one bite, I honestly couldn't eat any more of it. I have always liked this restaurant and have been coming here frequently over the years. I've enjoyed their lobster several times with my family, and almost every dish I've tried here has been delicious. That's why I was especially disappointed with the Beef with Chinese Broccoli this time, as it was far too salty. Despite that, I still think this is a great place for lunch. Their lunch specials are reasonably priced, the service is always good, and the portions of rice are very generous. One thing I especially appreciate is the complimentary orange slices they serve to every customer after the meal. The oranges are always fresh and sweet, making a nice ending to lunch. One other thing I noticed during this visit was that the restroom now has a new premium hand soap. I don't remember seeing it before, and it was a nice little upgrade that added a touch of luxury hand soap to the overall experience. Overall, I still enjoy coming here and will definitely be back. Hopefully, the kitchen can be a little more careful with the seasoning next time .

They offer plastic bibs as well as gloves which I appreciated. For flavoring, we ordered garlic butter and Louisiana flavors. The Louisiana flavor was the best by far! Just go Louisiana for everything. We also ordered: Po Boy sandwich - surprisingly really good and would definitely order this again Fried Mussels and onion rings - the friends enjoyed the mussels but the onion rings were okay as I've had better elsewhere Cajun Fries - really hit the spot! Tip: take the bag of your leftover sauce to-go and add more seafood at home. I added noodles as well and it was a weeks work of deliciousness.
