    I came here for lunch, and it did not disappoint. I had a birria taco, esquite (corn), and a large horchata. The taco was delicious, the esquite was very tasty (I did have to remove the mayo as I am not a fan), and the horchata was good and refreshing. The female employee who assisted me with my order was very friendly and hardworking. Located in the Rodeo 72 food court, this small restaurant was very clean, well-maintained, and fully stocked with everything guests need to complement their meal.

    Tried 3 large aguas frescas,, lemon cucumber, mango passionfruit, and ube horchata. There was a pretty long line when we got there, but our drinks came out quickly since we didn't order any food. All three drinks were delicious and super refreshing without being overly sweet. The ube horchata was my boyfriend's favorite, while I really loved the lemon cucumber. The mango passionfruit was a little thicker and super sweet. Definitely a nice stop if you're in the area and want something refreshing.

    I'm basically a regular here at this point. I always end up stopping by, especially if there's even a tiny chance they have the Ube flavored Agua Fresca. That's always my first choice. If not, I'll grab a strawberry milk or the strawberry milk/watermelon combo to temper my cravings. I was obsessed with their mango colada, so I'm patiently waiting for that to make a comeback. Until then, the ube horchata and ube banana milk are my top two! I've tried a ton of things on their menu and everything has been good. The mini pancakes are always a win, especially the ube ones with vanilla ice cream and bananas aka that's my comfort order. The short rib plate was super flavorful, and when I just want a quick snack, the taquitos cup hits every time. I even went to their one‑year anniversary event and left with a whole bunch of their $1 churros because they were that good. No regrets. Everything here is consistently delicious, and I'm genuinely grateful this location exists because it's become my little treat-yourself stop. The workers are always super friendly and definitely remember me because I'm here so much. If you see me here again... mind your business.

    Made a purchase yesterday on 08/20/2026 @6:53pm. I ordered 3 quesabirrillas. The salsa was bubbling which should've been my first sign to not eat here. It's 1:30AM and I woke up vomiting. Terrible food handling I'd be weary of any food from this location.

    This place looks refreshing. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. I got their super pretty purple ube horchata and ube coconut mini pancakes to try. The ube horchata was perfectly sweet, chilled, milky, cinnamony, and had those beautifully light vanillay nutty Ubey flaves that I love. Pure deliciousity. The mini pancakes were topped with plenty of fresh bananas, toasted shredded coconut flakes, sweet ube drizzle and were perfectly pillowy, chewy, and fluffy. Overall this place is pretty good. Ube horchata small $7 Ube coconut mini pancakes $10.99

    Date of visit: January 17, 2026 Selections: Hot Cheeto Esquite Dragonfruit Lemonade Experience: I was craving esquite after my husband mentioned that this location was selling some when he came back with an agua fresca that was Dragonfruit Lemonade for us to share and tacos for himself. The agua fresca was good, but the esquite was a bit lacking for me because all the toppings aka mayo, cheese, butter, and Cheetos were on the top and none of it was mixed in with the actual corn itself, which makes sense for the Cheeto bits to not be soggy. But even when mixing it all together, I just felt like it needed more mayo for me.

    Ordered from their truck at the Venice Winter Fest after seeing how many Birria dishes they offered. I got the Birria Torta for around $20, not sure if prices were higher because it was a festival, but the portion was big and the flavor was solid. Service, however, was really slow. I asked for salsa and a to-go bag right when they handed me my food, and it felt like it took ages for them to bring it over, which was pretty frustrating. Overall, good food but the pricing and slow service make me unsure if I'd return.

    This is our favorite Aguas Fresca place in the City of Whittier. They are so tasty and refreshing! Staff are friendly and helpful. They provide samples to help narrow down between all the yummy options. Place is very clean and nicely laid out. We are excited to see they added a Birrerria menu!! Will need to try next time!

    Decide to check out the news about RODEO 72. Busy booming and a lot of people a multi selections of food and treats. Music is booming a mini restaurant too. We chose Mexican for our first time here. The Agua Fresca nicely displayed. I got the Birria burrito and my wife got the Birria queso taco combo. I got the Horchata damn just the right amount of cinnamon my wife the dragon fruit wow what a kick! We got our food nice Lil Plating consume nice and hot. And taste fresh. My wife's tacos were good had to get here to slow down. My burrito pretty good size and packed. Meat cooked well some salsa on the side green fresh and red spicy kick but not tongue burning. Counter staff very friendly POS is up to date A grade nice Lil pop up. I like the graphic widow it's see through so you can see the food being cooked. This establishment is worth the first time coming Price to product = 9 Plating = 8 Customer service = 9 Menu = 8 Cleanliness = 8 Atmosphere = 7 I probably will return food is great counter staff is great. Just need to try more on the menu to earn that 5 star.

    Las Chelanguas is located in the Whittier Rodeo 72 food hall. It was a hot day so I decided to stop here for some refreshing agua fresca. Service was awful. We noticed items would sit at the window for a long time before the front of house staff would call the customer for pick up. They did not have a pager or texting mechanism unlike other places in this foodhall. They just call out your number so you'll have to stay nearby to listen for your number. One of the things that annoyed me the most was that we stood in line and the cashier WENT TO GET AGUA FRESCA FOR THE PERSON BEHIND US. What the heck?!?!?! And they had to be super slow in doing so. I should have left because the wait wasn't worth it. When she finally took our order, I had to decide on what Agua Fresca flavor at the cashier. NO SAMPLES! Whatttttt?? All other agua fresca places I've been to anywhere else in the world offers samples. And their selection was much more limited than other similar businesses. I ended up getting the 32oz Agua Fresca ($8) in a dragonfruit flavor. It was TOO SWEET even after the ice melted down. My boyfriend tried their Birria Taco ($3.50) and he didn't look too impressed. I wouldn't consider coming back here given so many other options in the area and really awful service. Hopefully they can make improvements for the future for the sake of their customers.

Friendly staff and prompt service. The unfortunate negative is it's location and I'm referring to parking. There must be 8 business crammed into this lot. With a bar to the right and a laudermat on its left finding a parking spot is like winning the lotto. Now layer in one driveway and you have to make a 3 point turn just to navigate to leave. The short answer is I will absolutely go back to this place as long as there is a parking space to be had.

Well I received the flautas (which were very tasty) but they were BALD. There was about one tablespoon worth of guacamole on the side. And a tiny little pinch of lettuce. I immediately asked the waitress if it was missing the toppings, and she said "yes it's missing sour cream." She left and came back and said there was no more sour cream. A Mexican restaurant without sour cream? Oh! really wish I would've known that before ordering because, like I said, I love my flautas drenched in toppings. I would've ordered something else had I known there was no sour cream. I requested some extra guacamole to make up for the lack of sour cream. With guacamole and the salsa that comes with chips, it still tasted pretty good but my heart was wishing I had sour cream and tons of cheese. It was definitely a tasty meal but was a HUGE miss on the lack of toppings, which is what I crave when I order flautas. I've never seen flautas look so sad and lonely. The rice and beans were okay. Not too bad not too good. Just ok. It's a shame the restaurant is super beautiful but the food doesn't really seem authentic.

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.

The iced flight was also a great way to sample several of their flavors without having to commit to just one. For food, the Birria Benedict was the standout and easily our favorite dish.

Definitely a place where I recommend coming hungry and ordering several things to share! Excellent service, as well.
