A friend of mine is a Cerritos local, and this was our second visit. First and foremost, the staff was amazing. The gentleman working the front door was incredibly polite and welcomed us with a smile, even wishing us a great time as we walked in. The two bartenders were outstanding. Unfortunately, I didn't catch both of their names, but their level of customer service was exceptional. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the night. For food, we ordered the lumpia and the pepperoni flatbread pizza. Both were absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend trying them. We also enjoyed a couple of ice-cold beers. I ordered a glass of water as well, and my water was refilled almost immediately every time it was empty--a small detail that really stood out. The DJ kept the atmosphere fun and lively, and we were able to catch the MMA fights on their multiple flat-screen TVs, which made the experience even better. My buddy Jason says this is the best dive bar in Cerritos. After this visit, I'd have to agree. In fact, the customer service we received here was better than what I've experienced at many upscale, "bougie" establishments. Outstanding food, excellent drinks, incredible service, and a great atmosphere. Job well done, Shipmates! I'll definitely be back.

The location is a little hidden and was somewhat difficult to find at first, but once inside, everything was well organized and easy to navigate. The staff did an excellent job throughout the event--friendly, attentive, and impressively fast despite the crowd. I also appreciated that they limited the number of guests, which kept the atmosphere lively without feeling overcrowded. It was nice that this wasn't strictly an adults-only environment, as we were able to bring our child along and still enjoy the experience. The food was good, the service was great, and the overall setup made for an enjoyable afternoon of soccer. We'll definitely be back during football season to catch a few games.

So decided to try the tomahawk Tuesdays. I got there roughly…read more6:45 pm ordered a drink for me and my girl ,so our drinks arrive which I thought there were our drinks wrong the server only gave me my beer and my girls drink was in tray as well but he took it ànd gave it to another table . So we waited 7 more minutes to get my girls drink so we can cheer together after that time my beer was warm but ok It was a mistake so I let it go or was it just careless Who knows . So I ordered some coconut shrimp for an app . Which were ok . And then we ordered a whiskey salad which was good ànd I ordered my tomahawk a medium well which I was splitting with my girl . So we finished our appetizer ànd salad . Ànd no steak yet . Ordered 2 more drinks finished them and nothing . Then I notice a couple that came in 25 mins after us getting their steak and I was questioning myself like where is mine . Then another couple that came in 45 mins after me got theirs . So then I was concerned ànd call the waitress and asked Whats going on she was very defensive telling me medium well takes longer that medium rare that's why they got theirs before me . How is that possible when 1 couple came in 25 mins after me and the other 45 mins after . So then the manager comes and tells me they cook the medium rare first then the medium well . So let me get this straight i had to wait 45 mins for someone to arrive so they can cook theirs first . It doesn't make sense . As management she shouldn't lie or cover up for anyone else mistakes or lack or work performance. On the contrary she was defensive and thought it was ok to bring a steak after waiting 1 hr and 15 for a steak after it was ordered . She came after I ordered a box to go If I wanted a free desert . Like really à desert. No I would have been a ok with honesty ànd treated fairly ànd tell me they screwed up. I wish owner ship reads this ànd reviews their surveillance video . This Is steak house not à fast food joint I am paying for service ànd to get treated well The food was decent but the service and management is poor ,eventually they will run the customers always if nothing changes .

This visit, we tried the caldo de res (Genaro's recommendation), and it was absolutely delicious. I felt revived after every spoonful. We also ordered the trio chilaquiles with red, green, and mole sauces which was a great way to experience all the flavors. The real showstopper, though, was the café de olla. It was the perfect blend of warmth, spice, and sweetness. Such a wonderful way to start the morning!! Great food, genuine hospitality, and an experience that keeps us coming back. Highly recommend!

They have a waitlist for pool tables and text you when one opens up, which is super convenient. They also have a big projector screen with couches that can be reserved, perfect for groups. Drinks were good, the Jolly Rancher shots and Jell-O shots were fire. My friend and I both got mango margaritas on the rocks, but somehow mine tasted way better (more mango-y and I requested Tajín on the rim while hers seemed watered down. Guess it depends on your bartender). They had darts in the back, and a DJ in the front with upbeat music, and tons of board/card games (though some boxes looked a little worn and like they could be missing a few pieces). Didn't try the food, but everything I saw looked good. Also loved that you can walk in and out, making it easy for smoke breaks. Overall, great vibes, fun games, and a perfect hangout spot. Would definitely come back!

Campus Billiards & Sports Bar is located in the same plaza as Frostbites. My boyfriend and I were…read morefeeling spontaneous and decided to stop in for some Pool ($12/hour). Definitely the type of place for large groups to hang out and have a good time. In addition to the pool tables and the tv screens, they also have a lot of board games for patrons to hang out and enjoy. It's hard to explain but the ambiance is more for partying than for date night. The guy at the pool table next to us kept trying to talk to us, and every time my boyfriend went to the restroom he tried to chat with me. Awkwarddddd... He was even sad when we left... Sooooo weird. He even came over and asked if I was in the APA... apparently some pool group. He must be crazy cause I'm awful at pool. Even without the creeper, it got uncomfortable as more people showed up. I had my purse and jacket put down at a table and this group decided to sit down around it. I felt the need to move my belongings. And as people came in, it was hard to shoot without hitting someone. You basically have to compromise your shot or hit people, and I'm not trying to hit anyone. It's one thing if the other customers are annoying, but their staff was annoying too. With their staff coming to take orders from the tables, there was this one waitress that kept walking into my zone when I was trying to shoot. I'm not even a professional and I thought it was annoying. I can't imagine how the pros would feel. Note that our table was in a lower foot traffic area. I can see why it's popular but it's not for me.

The bikini bar theme adds to the fun without ever feeling over the top - the bartenders are professional, friendly, and genuinely know how to make people feel at home. It's exactly the kind of local spot that keeps you coming back! A huge shout-out to Sheila, who took care of us for two days in a row. She is an absolute rockstar behind the bar. She was incredibly gracious, hilarious, attentive, and somehow always knew when we needed another drink before we even had to ask. She has that perfect personality for bartending - fun, engaging, and just the right amount of playful flirting that makes everyone smile while still making you feel like you're hanging out with an old friend. The drinks were cold, the service was fast, the conversations were great, and the overall vibe was exactly what you'd hope for from a classic neighborhood sports bar. Whether you're stopping in to watch a game, shoot some pool, listen to music, or just unwind after work, The Sportsman's delivers. It's rare these days to find a place where the service stands out as much as the atmosphere, but Sheila and the rest of the staff absolutely made our visit memorable. We'll definitely be back, and hopefully we'll be lucky enough to catch Sheila behind the bar again. If you're anywhere near Los Alamitos and haven't been to The Sportsman's yet, you're missing out. Five off the back somewhere like what's the frame-shot stars isn't enough!

Went to this spot on an early evening weekday with my girlfriend, and had dinner. The service was…read moreextremely poor in a non-busy restaurant and had to wait at least 10 minutes for a server to attend to us. We truly did not feel welcome right from the very beginning. Our server was nice, but he did not bring water or chips to our table all evening. We ordered 2 slushy margaritas, loaded carne asada fries, and 2 dinners. Did not receive our drinks until almost 15 minutes after ordering them. The straws were way too short for the margaritas and we could not use them after they were sinking into the drink and ended up level with the rim of the glass. Our dinner was served before our appetizer and we had to ask for it. The loaded carne asada fries was terribly portioned with about 10-12 fries on a big plate. Our server also did not ask if I wanted corn or flour tortillas for my carne asada dinner. At other locations they have always asked before the dinner is served. Our busser was very intrusive, reaching over our table to grab things off the table, never asked if he could take away our plates, and tried to take away half a cup of chimichurri that my girlfriend was still using for her dinner. No apology whatsoever. The dinner did taste good, and that was about the only redeeming quality of the evening. We ordered flan for desert and asked for our check. We were astounded to find that the restaurant was trying to charge full price for our drinks ($16 each), when it was promoted as a happy hour special at $10 each. When we showed this to the manager, he gave an attitude and said, "I'll fix it." Honestly don't understand why we were reprimanded for pointing out a special that the restaurant offers. I tried messaging the company about our bad experience and receieved no response at all. This is honestly one of the worst dining experiences we have ever had and will not be back.
