A Toda Madre Kitchen - Whittier

I booked a reservation, but they were closed. they called them and said they were closed, but when I went on the website, the bookings were open

It says they're open, but I'm going in and they're closed.

Although we had reservations, we were called 30 minutes before the arrival and said we would not be served. I understand it was raining, but the caller was short, didn't even let me in a word. sat at another place on the street and had a great experience.

The venue is renovated at this time. they just sit in the open and rain, so they kind of kicked us out because they don't have anything else to place you.

This place was cute and disappointing at the same time. The hostess/server was odd. Most places have a bubbly/friendly person greet you. Not here. Most walk around looking so serious and upset. We got there and ordered. Waited. Waited some more. I had to ask for the chips and salsa. Waited some more. When my food came it had a hair.. finally got the chips and salsa btw the best thing in there is the chips. Very nice, crunchy and warm. No spice at all. Mexican food has to be spicy or at least have some spicy salsa available. I asked for salt and salsa to give it a better taste. Never got the salsa. Overall I think it’s cute, definitely expected more. The food is average, the michelada is Clamato and beer. That’s it!
