Wonderful experience coming here. The sparklers to the tomahawk steaks, wonderful. Drinks were different and the variety of alcohol were plentiful. Make reservations before arriving here. They have 5 different kinds of margarita, you can order the flight if you don't know which one is your favorite yet . All the tacos are delicious. Many items are shareable. Can come for evening out or family too. Loud music with plenty of new experiences. Parking is difficult especially at night, there is valet for $8, but parking nearby neighborhood is easy too. It's near neighborhoods and other bars and restaurants. Feels like a club but with no dance floor. Very fun and interactive. They also sell long stem roses too.

We went on New Year’s Day and the waitress let us know it was happy hour. Everything we ordered from the happy hour menu was good except the hamburger, it was plain lol drinks were also good! Will definitely go back!

Celebrated my brother’s birthday here and we had a great experience! Our hostess, Ana, did a phenomenal job on checking in on us. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a party vibe experience.

Seated quickly. Not very busy on a Friday midday. Good happy hour menu. Cool wall art. Colorful atmosphere. Margaritas had too much syrup. The Mr. Tempo Vip rolls were very tasty and good portion. The chips of the complimentary chips and salsa were a bit too think and hard for my liking. The happy hour birria tacos were really good. I would get these two items again.

I recently visited Tempo Cantina in Downey and had a generally positive experience. The restaurant itself is small, with old tables and chairs that give it a somewhat rustic feel. While the ambiance is cozy and inviting, the decor could use an update. The drinks were good, but not particularly memorable. The cocktails were well-made, but lacked a wow factor. The food was similarly decent, but not outstanding. There were some highlights, but overall, it felt like the dishes could benefit from a bit more refinement. Despite these criticisms, Tempo Cantina has a certain charm that's hard to deny. Overall, I'd recommend Tempo Cantina to those looking for a casual, laid-back spot with a good atmosphere. While there's room for improvement, the restaurant's charm and potential make it worth a visit.

It had been about two years since I’ve been here and I was disappointed. I feel the place hasn’t been maintained to be the nice decent restaurant it was. no smile when greeting seemed like I was at the taco stand waiting for a table. The food was good I can’t complain on that the drinks were also good and my waitress Luna was awesome. The restroom had no seat covers and there were no towels. Come on Tempo we can do better and prices are not as cheap I was there to celebrate a bday and I was low key embarrassed and disappointed I could have chosen somewhere better for the same price. Maybe because I went on a weekday.

This place has horrible seating arrangements outdoors, super crammed seating arrangements and the seats are metal. Food and drinks were way over priced and the food comes in small portions, the alcoholic drinks were very very light, couldn’t taste the liquor on mixed drinks. The burritos looked like taquitos. The food was just decent but great. The wait time was horrible, service was horrible when we went. Would not come back for the food. Yes the food looks pretty but it’s Way over priced and it’s mediocre.

First and last time coming did not enjoy the service at all. It was a weird vibe all night, it was my sister's birthday and i think we should have just went somewhere else but anyway. End of the night, 6 separate checks everybody paid on a card and tipped at least 15%. This was a easy table, I'm talking bring the order pick up the empty plates, no special orders. One person paid in cash and did not tip and was short.25 and the waitress came back for a quarter and that felt kinda weird. With the to money she got, I would have gone in my pocket and put .25 in but that's just me.

I am sorry but I have to give Mr. Temp Cantina a 1 star on the food and drinks we have never visited this location before we actually visited them because family from Northern California wanted to go there as there had heard about them thru social media, we order drinks and appetizers, we all 4 agreed that the nachos soggy and dried ( very little carnitas) and grilled octopus was hard and tasteless, chips were good as well as the queso fundido, wings ok we thought the lamburgini churro desert was good but overpriced 20.00 we’re not good their margaritas had a strong bitter taste like if the lemon juice was either old or to strong. I am sorry to say this but will not comeback to Mr. Tempo May be it is just us that the 250.00 we spent there was not worth it. Atmosphere was a 3 as the place looks old and not kept up was not impressed at all.

I won’t EVER be returning. -100/10 I brought my mom here for Mother’s Day, to get Brunch, just based off the reviews I was hopeful it was good. (I was WRONG) We both got bottomless mimosas and the Pork Belly Benedict. The eggs weren’t runny.. (like they should be) the hollandaise sauce was just bland. And the meat WAS NOT pork belly. It was PULLED PORK. If you’ve had them you’d know there’s a HUGE difference. You can see the meat in the pics is NOT pork belly. On top of all this I found a long black hair in my hash brown. I understand it happens so I didn’t say anything but unfortunately it really disappointed me all around. I will say the server was attentive and always refilled my mimosa which was nice. But yeah I just can’t back up the food.
