“ The place is scrumptious!!! Lol ... I had the sampler tostadas which u had a choice in between 5 different style ... Your able to pick three. I had "Mariquita", "Conejita"and Mango. Don't let the pink sauce fool you. Flavors are good. First time coming differently will back to try the rest of the Flavors! ”
“ The staff was polite. We took our food to go. Waiting time was 30-40 minutes, but everything was delicious. Tacos El Diablo was yummy. The restaurant was busy and small. As I waited, customers came and went to dine or pick ups. I would return. ”
“ Always a good time here. Food is always fresh, great portions, and delicious. Staff is very welcoming. ”
“ A totally unassuming gem in Downey. The Diabla Shrimp Quesadilla is one of the best quesadillas I've ever had. The lobster nachos were delicious as well. I'll definitely be coming back here again. ”
“ Food is good, but be aware they changed it to take out only & tray orders only ”
“ Don't let this hole-in-the-wall for you. It's definitely worth the 30 minute wait just to even sit down. The tacos are awesome and the tostada mixta is spicy but worth the burn! ”
“ The best seafood in LA. No other place compares to it. I miss them being open on a daily basis. But I can still order online and pick it up on weekends. ”
