    Never been compelled to leave a Yelp review until today. Downloaded the app just to leave this review. Only because they forced me to download the DoorDash app otherwise, I wouldn't get my food they said. The wait was long, the service from the young man behind the counter was indifferent--bordering on poor, the food was excessively salty, less than ideal, and cold by the time I got home because of the wait from them making me stand there and download an app to confirm the order. I order via DoorDash web and they made me download the app because they said they needed to visually confirm me clicking "received order." Never had to do that. All in all, poor experience.

    4 Taco Plate (Tuesday Special)
    Richard L.

    Had the Tuesday lunch special, 4 taco plate. Selected Al Pastor as meat and went with hot salsa. The meat was good and salsa started off with small amount of heat that built up toward the final taco. The lunch special turned the normal 3 taco plate into 4 tacos, making it a filling lunch. Definitely worth the price. Friendly staff and quiet atmosphere with a steady stream of to-go orders walking in.

    All ready for sitting in

    Looking for some late lunch so grabbed 2 special Asada fries crinkle style fries, Asada and cheese topped top tomato onion chopped. I grabbed a burrito mujado. Great as always as well as filling. The proprietor always friendly sorry forget his name. I love the atmosphere of the place history along the walls. The original Joe's and the Norwalk skating ring and past customers. Atmosphere = 9 Food = 9 Wait service = 8 Specials = 8 Main proprietor = 9 I recommend this mom and pop. To sit in or to go. Got horchata and other drinks

    This is another place large chili cheese fry and bacon cheeseburger for 2159 taco Joe's B Robin people

    I went into this place to order a small pastrami chili cheese fry and bacon cheeseburger the price was outrageous. Small chili cheese fry and a bacon cheeseburger came out to 31.79. They charge me for a small chili cheese fry then also charge me for a a pastrami sandwich and a bacon cheeseburger then when I ask the question about does a small chili cheese fry come with the same amount of pastrami as a sandwich. The guy told me way less than a sandwich.... I just don't understand how you can charge someone and they not receive what they're charged for this place is robbery and that cook is shady. it's already hard for people out here for them to be taking people's money.

My husband and I have been wanting to try the Ube sliders for a while, and we decided to get that. We also go the Panda Style fries with spam. When we got our food, everything looked so delicious. We've had the Panda Style Fries before. And it never disappoints. The fries have great taste from the seasoning to the sauce. And the spam brings out that saltiness the fries need. I love the grilled onions on top. We usually eat it from the top to the bottom, so we usually don't get much sauce or toppings when we get to the bottom. I think it's meant to be mixed, but we don't want it to get mushy. The be sliders were good. The patty, sauce, and grilled onions were good. The Ube bread didn't have much Ube taste to us (imo). And I felt like I was getting more bread than the actually patty and what was inside the burger. I felt like I could have used more sauce to soften up the dry texture I get from the bed. But overall it was good. This place is located inside the Steelcraft so it has a nice, chill ambiance. The place can get busy, especially when they are showing games. But a nice place to hang out and chill over some food and drinks.

Now I stood in front of this establishment their 4 screen menu and special that jump on the screen, for two specials. BBQ bacon chopped sandwich.. You can watch the grill as the cook staff makes the food. Impressive how the young man manages the grill with pride. Counter staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Food is made to order so it takes a few minutes which is great because it's fresh and hot. The special we got was any sandwich and drink and they had two more special flashing that's why it took a few to decide. The sandwiches were well made hot, tasty and good size drinks also good size. So so tasty so filling, bread to meat ratio well done.

Love their wide open dining space, kids area and even dance floor. Restrooms require a code, but you can get them from any of the restaurants/long-standing vendors. Food variety is perfect with awesome eats at Tacos Arandas (veggie friendly), Barrio (our friend Sid's favorite), Un Rinconcito Argentino (an instant hit with my Argentinian), Pana's Cafe, Panda Sal's, ChocoFaberries, Off Duty Beer + Wine and others. They even have a full arcade and ample parking in back. Service is top tier. Even the employees who help keep SteelCraft thriving are personable. Family friendly, friend group friendly, pet friendly and very welcoming of everyone. Definitely making Downtown Bellflower even more of a hub. Free Wifi. Free Parking, including street parking with no restrictions after 6pm. Live Music on certain days as well as events. Open at 7am daily at the corner of Bellflower Blvd/Oak Street. Closing hours vary, though go until 11pm Friday - Saturday, and until 9 or 10 pm on other nights.

It's nice that parking is accessible in the front on Bellflower Blvd. and in the back parking lots. There are areas where you can sit on stools or on picnic benches. Also several corners where there's shaded trees and a swing bench. It's nice to have the eating area in the middle of the courtyard, but I really don't like the dirt area. But I get that it's probably easier for spills to be soaked up so people don't slip and it's less maintenance. If you're a fur-parent don't worry, there's even a couple bowls from which your pet can get fresh water from their drinking fountain. Or just bring your own bowl and fill it up at the water station. It's really a pet friendly place. We brought our Shih Tzu along and saw another dog sitting on the bench. Food choices are good, you can enjoy a beer and burger, tacos, Filipino/Korean fusion, Coffee, Boba, Argentinian food. There's also a big screen which they televise sports games. Price wise it's about $15-$20 per person for a complete meal.

The cashier that helped up out provided exceptional service. There were a lot of items in the menu, so my husband and I were just standing there staring at it lol. The cashier was very helpful with recommendations. He even let my husband sample the beer. When we decided what we wanted, I got the Stand Out Burger and my husband got the bbq sandwich and a beer. And we both got onion rings and sweet potato waffle fries to share. You can also request as many sauces on the side as you want. We got the house sauce, Meyer lemon aioli, ranch, ketchup, and mayo. For a regular burger, the Stand Out Burger was delicious. The burger patty was nice and moist. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, just how I asked for it to be made. I added extra pickles (that were free and available at the counter). My husband really enjoyed the bbq sandwich. He's a big bbq lover, I don't really care for bbq. When I tried it, it was very saucy and bbq forward. The sweet potato waffle fries were one of my favorites. It pairs well with the house sauce and ranch. I kept dipping it in what I thought was the Meyer lemon sauce, but turned out to be mayo (lol) and I kept saying the sauce didn't taste of lemon. But the sweet potato waffle fries actually pairs well with the Meyer lemon sauce too. Another favorite was the onion rings. It had a nice thin batter and when you bite into it, you get that crunchy texture. This pairs well with the ranch and ketchup. We would definitely come back to try other things on the menu!
