    This is what good food looks like!!! The hot Cheetos burger comes with pieces of Cheetos, double patty, nacho cheese, lettuce, onions and their secret sauce which I requested to the side. The loaded fries is probably my favorite off their menu because of one thing: bell peppers. I think it’s genius to add bell peppers on fries. It really gives the taste of chicken fajitas or Mexican hot dog. I will def be coming back again! Shout out to the staff and store owner who made our experience special and comfortable! ❤️

    Got the Hot cheeto burger combo & the Philly sub combo, washed it down with a cold can if Dr pepper. The hot Cheeto Burger was pretty good, the meat was nice and soft and it was very cheesy with good flavors. The Philly Cheese sub was good too but the fries were super Bland (wish they added more salt). Their sauce that they make and sell in the bottle is really delicious (Dipped my fries in them). The staff was friendly and it's a cute little place on the corner in the plaza with parking.

    Before heading into The Stardust Club just down the street from here, decided to check this place out. The wifey followed them on IG and wanted us to try it. I got the Philly cheese steak fries & she got the Schwarma combo plate. Everything was so amazingly delicious, I couldn't believe how good my Philly cheese steak fries tasted. Everything was fresh and made to order. I got their aguas frescas in a bottle which I had before and just had to have it again here. The strawberry lemonade is so refreshing with great natural flavors. I didn't try the Schwarma however did taste the hummus and that was amazing too. I got a chance to speak to one of the cooks and was really friendly. I enjoyed his welcoming hospitality. The server and cashier was quite pleasant and accommodating. Place was clean, organized, and service was excellent. I'll be coming back for more items on the menu.

    I'm a die hard fan of this place, especially for the halal options that happen to be absolutely delicious. I only get to go here once in a blue moon but every time I leave with a fond memory of an amazing meal. The birria tacos (pictured) here are the absolute best. Nice staff and a diverse selection of flavorful items on the menu. I've had the loaded fries in the past and that hit the spot. Hot Cheetos Carne Asada burrito pictured, which was also A+

    Food was amazing! Big portions, nice for leftovers! We had the birria tacos, they were so good, we ordered them a second time while on vacation!! And my husband isn’t much of a Mexican food fan and he was drooling over them! Kids got crunch wraps and fries topped with brisket and mac and cheese, so good! Will make it a point to go back next time we’re on vacation!!

    Super large menu with a huge selection of Mediterranean and Mexican cuisines. You should study their menu before you get there because it's humongous. I will return to try other things. Only complaint , some portions are small and too much rice to make up for the smaller portions.

    I am very surprised by the 4.5 stars, the LA food scene always surprises me. In a region of the country where good Mexican and Mexican -American food is everywhere, this just does not cut it for me. Although the service was nice, the inside of the restaurant was unique and I appreciate that its halal, the food just wasn't up to par. Being halal does not give you an excuse to not have good food. For $15 + tax, I got the hot cheetos carne asada burrito. It was 80% rice and cheetos with too much nacho cheese sauce and carne asada. The carne asada was good, but with all the extra stuff it was barely edible, it seems that the food is made for instagram photos rather than real consumption. A real socal burrito should have meat, pico, and maybe fries if it is a burrito california. This food is gimmicky, try it for the sake of trying it, but it didn't do it for me.

    Stop here to try some of the viral food I've been seeing online . Can't complain we ordered a few items & all had very good flavor & food was cooked to order. If you're looking for something spicy or even want a sweet treat to wash it all down, you won't be disappointed!

    What can we say about the hospitality and the welcome to the customers. We are out of town visitors and we came based on the instagram findings. Due to the month of Ramadan and the fact it's halal, they are accepting orders even last minute which speak volumes. The place is small however they have seating outside that accommodate many more. It was packed when we got in and wait time was 30 min. We were willing to wait to see the food and taste it. We ordered the chicken birria tacos and the 3 meat hot chetos burrito. Please see the pictures as they match their photos on social media. It was very very delicious and we couldn't finish so they wrapped it for us as we have a plane to catch tomorrow morning. We are going to have the rest of it tomorrow. Thank you to the owner and his children for a wonderful experience.

    Ouch and ouch again. I do honest reviews for places i visit i display pros and cons of a place, no need to argue with employees who work there. Me being half Mexican half Arab i tell you this place is 2/5, would i come again of course not. The good, asada taco was bomb hot, good, and delicious. The beef koufta with hibibi mix was good. The things that are bad, the chicken w hbibi mix wasnt good. It was dry as hell. The worst things, the biria with cheetos and cheese.. it was okay, temperature wise cold as hell. They charged me for the cheese and chips even though it was in the picture. The G should have told me something but he was quite. Was it bc 5pm its close to closeout time at 630? Idk Btw, 2 cokes cannt cost $10, idk where we live homie. Like i said, i paid their fair price to try it and will never visit again. Maybe for the kufta and taco.. will see.

    My husband and I have been eyeballing Fatima’s for quite sometime!!! We were so excited to finally experience them in person and see if their food photos would match up to the flavors and reviews we had been seeing! We are glad to say THEY DO! I think the hardest part for us was narrowing down what we wanted to try on our trip, because there were sooooo many things we wanted, but had a feeling the serving sizes were going to be pretty big! We ended up getting the quesarito surf and turf with half of it dipped in hot Cheetos so we could compare. With as excessive as it looked we LOVED all the flavors that came through and it was impressive at how packed they are able to fill it while still being able to wrap it in a second tortilla!!! The fries inside were also perfectly flavored and cooked plus the plump shrimp, everything!! The QUESA birria tacos were loaded with lots of cheese for epic mouth cheese pulls plus the added chili relleno on top was bomb! Loved adding the fresh radish slices inside the taco and omg their lebamex sauce with it definitely took it up a notch on flavor and some added spice which we loved!!! The restaurant was small, but so cute with lots of fun signs, very clean and the staff was incredibly friendly! We are eager to go back and try more of their creations! Everyone eating their looked so happy and all the food we saw looked and smelled incredible! Next we have to try their crunch wraps, schwarmas and crazy fried chicken brisket burger! Honestly we know everything will be solid! Please do yourself a favor and check them out!! The quality and freshness of the food comes through in each bite as well as the love that they infuse into it! Fatima’s is a MUST!

    Grabbed to go from Fatima's and the mixed meat wrap and falafel fries were both satisfying. Definitely worth trying this hole in the wall place for wine fusion middle eastern and Mexican fare. However, I bet the food would be even better if eaten fresh at the restaurant.

    Seen they were trending on tiktok so we came to check it out. We ordered and waited about 15 mins for our food. Atmosphere was super cool, love all of their decor and style. The food wasn’t bad, it was a bit too much for me.. lots and lots of different flavors. I forgot exactly what we ordered but I took pictures because I was really excited lol. We only ended up eating less than half of everything. I will go back and try something different.

    I came across a video on instagram advertising Fatima’s grill, and after flying in from Texas I knew this had to be on the bucket list. Everything was amazing. The food and presentation were both top-tiered, but even better was the service. Ali, the owner, greeted us with a smile and was very helpful. He made sure we were taken care of and went absolutely above and beyond. The burrito and nachos his team made me were by far the best I’ve ever had. I ordered a surf n turf quesarito and their loaded nachos. If I ever come back to the city of Downey I will be sure to visit every time. Thank for everything.

    Great services! Welcomed us and helped with the menu as we were first timers. The atmosphere was clean with hand sanitizers at each table. It also a very fun and LA down decor, wall to wall! But most importantly the food was INCREDIBLE!!! I got the birria and shrimp tacos and it was the best birria I have had. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

    After having an amazing Wrestlemania weekend, what other way to end it than with some FASCINATING FOOD. Their system was down, so the owner took the down the order by pen and paper. The owner was an extremely chill, professional, down to earth person. Have been following their Instagram page for months and finally go to try their food. The food is no hype! I ordered the Carne Asada Hot Cheetoh Mac and Cheese Quesarrito. My wife ordered the Carne Asada Crunch Wrap with Nacho Cheese and Hot Cheetohs. The food was as good as it looked! We were not disappointed. I am ashamed that I was not able to finish the whole burrito before I got full🤣. That thing was huge! I did save it, though. Wife was not able to finish the wrap eighter. Again, AMAZING FOOD... The restaurant was clean, and all the workers were extremely nice. Like I said, the system was down, but they allowed me to pay them via cash app since I did not have cash. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some BOMBASS FOOD!!! ***No Filters used for the pictures ***

    Driven by many times, off Alondra & Paramount, they we have tempting pictures in the windows. We shared a chicken quesadilla and it itself was pretty good. Cheese wasn't greasy, chicken was tasty, fresh radish slices were crispy and lime slices were also fresh. The salsas, green & red, were prepackaged because they weren't hot at all, but added flavor. No pickled carrots like other places, but the plate it was served in was pretty. I will try this place again, will see if they have hotter sauces.

    Birria Tacos were awesome as always, Burrito was also excellent, we were a little disappointed with the Carne Asada Fries as they were very dry. The loaded fries are much better.
