If there was a no star I’d give it a a 0. Service was shitty. It was my grandmother’s 89th birthday and the service was horrible. They only took the order from half of the table of 16. My brother and sister had to walk up and order. I was so pissed I didn’t bother to order. They didn’t come back and even ask if we wanted water. My experience was something I won’t forget.

I must admit before tonight id never heard of Huntington Park nor this place. But in discussions I had with a repairman at my apartment place I was told this is the place for Mexican food. The menu is on a wall and contains all the familiar dishes with the ubiquitos beans and rice. from the combo plates of my youthThe food is terrific. I explored some new dishes Pechluga, manchamantel and molcajete. c hicken, beef and fish dishes. great stuff. The place is a bit worn and different from my admittedly uptown taste. spanish is the prefered language. As my friend said it is worth the drive to experience the food. private parking lot, helpful english speaking(some)staff

I’ve been coming to Diana’s since I was a little girl. Its always been the«go to spot» where my family meets up and catches up on life. It’s really unfortunate that this place has gone down hill within the last couple of years and now it’s worse than ever! The food isn’t cooked the same anymore. The beans taste like canned beans, the rice is stale and the overall meal has been cold on several occasions. Ive even gotten sick! There is no service as you pay at the counter and a lady rolls up to your table with a cart full of plates. A bit unsanitary as she looks for you through the whole restaurant. The place is falling apart and it used to be so genuine. The restrooms are horrible and so are the tables and chairs. The karaōke they have is soooooo annoying! It takes away from the experience of eating and talking to your friends as the sound of the singing is blasting through the whole eating area. They should move it to one of the back rooms. I really hope the owners take notice quick because its soon going to become a «has been»!

I don’t usually eat at Mexican restaurants but when I do… its probably going to be a wet burrito FTW. Diana’s Restaurant has a big giant wet one for you. Do you like it red? You like green ones? I go for the Diana’s wet green chili carne asada burrito smothered and covered in mild green chili sauce with chunks of meat on top of the melted cheese. Piping hot though so be careful not to burn your tongue. The Diana’s wet burrito comes with choice of meat and a side of rice and beans. I think it’s item #31. When you enter in and to the right is the huge ass wall menu. The menu items are categorized and numbered. Many choices and all look pretty good and decently priced. You order and pay at the cashier on the spot for faster service. Your drink and chips and salsa are giving to you on a tray and you self seat at a table of your choosing. Food is brought out by a server quick and promptly. The inside is old and outdated. A few TVs from all angles and a full stock bar. Came on a Friday night and looked like they were having a karaōke ritual. Diana’s has potential and looks like it could be a great place for weekday happy hour. Just needs a little investment and self promotion.

I went there for a karaōke night on a Thursday night, the service is bad. There is only one waiter for the whole restaurant. I ordered some chicken with some cream sauce and by the time it was brought to my table it was super cold. The lady who gives the Karaōke her name is Columba is very rude and she likes to insult customers. If she don’t like you too bad and their is nothing we can do because she is the owners niece. I even went to their headquarters office to complain about her and also provided proof regarding her insults and rudeness but like I said she is the owners niece I believe his name is Samuel. I use to go there with my family and have a nice dinner n drinks, but for some reason that lady Columba is very unprofessional and it seems she doesn’t want anyone else singing better than her. Will never go there again. Definitely do not recommend this place. This woman Columba has issues and does not take her job seriously.

404+ menu items ??? You stand in a slow line to order your food at window. ONE server/dishwasher delivers your food to your table on a cart. The server walks around aimless and is required to ASK every person seated without food what they ordered to deliver the meal ??? Perhaps number table order flags would cut down on un necessary conversations with lost uninformed servers. When the food is ready, the cooks place the food in a window for the server/dishwasher to deliver. The food is inches from people standing in line. The food is exposed at a waist high level near those waiting in line to order– no glass, no barrier, etc… Wandering fingers, coughs, sneezes etc. yuck. Food was ok, nothing to drive a long distance for. Long wait times in line. The server/dishwasher was not available to refill drinks/provide salt shaker/provide salsa. Hopefully is getting paid to do both jobs(his hair net and clear plastic apron was a nice touch serving food!). Diana’s should spend a little money for a motion study to increase productivity and increase profits. Good luck

The place and location is a bit sketchy. The menu gave me anxiety because its huge and on a wall. The staff is OK. I would recommend better customer service. I came here for lunch on a Friday with some co-workers. It was about 7 of us. There is no waiter service sort of… You order and pay for your food and then someone brings it to you. The food was good and this is why I am giving it 3 stars. I had the aguachiles which were the right amount of spicy so I was not super embarrassed by my nose sweating and eyes tearing up. I also tried the nachos with carne asada and oh boy were these delicious. I would only come back here during lunch because its one of the closest Mexican restaurants around my job.

Went in for breakfast with co-workers, food was ok nothing to do a cartwheel over. I got the 4.99 breakfast combo, food was ok, portions for price idk. Also pancakes advertised were waay smaller then expected, asked for refill price on my drink, they told me I had to pay full price, coffee for my co-workers was free. Odd I would expect the coffee to more expensive

I can’t believe how rude the staff is. I literally stood at the counter today as the only person waiting to place an order and yet the staff couldn’t be bothered to take my order. One was blabbing on the phone, the other fingering a napkin staring at the counter between us. It’s not the first time I have had to walk out of here for the same reason. That’s it — I am off to Avila’s!

Love the food here. They have seafood(no oysters) soups of chicken meatball and beef tried them all really good. Mexican played like enchiladas burritos fish filets a huge menu depending on what you crave I guess. I like happy hours Monday thru Thursday from 4 – 7 some plates are on special beers are 2 $ drinks are 2×1. Good for family/friends have an awesome time with karaōke from Wednesday-Sunday hosted by lovely lady Columba. I would give five but I would be nice to make a couple changes with the service besides that everything is awesome

We came for breakfast and let me just say the food was nasty. The staff was rude. I was very disappointed with this restaurant. The food was overpriced and it had no flavor. I will NEVER come eat here again.

I LOVE the mariscos at Diana’s Huntington Park. They have a very outstanding Aguachiles dish(the raw shrimp served in a spicy tomatillo sauce with lots of lemon and cucumber, for those of you who don’t know what that is). The other amazing things to try here are the Tacos Gobernador. These tacos are unlike anything I’ve had before. They are OUT of this world. The molcajete is also very good. Overall, its great place for authentic mexican food. They have Karaōke in the back on most nights if you’re into the Latin jams. This is also a great venue for events if like banquets or quinceaneras since they have the hall in the back of the restaurant.

Tasty food. My kids love the asada nachos. I like the lengua en mole. Lately the food has been hit and miss. Hopefully Mr. Magaña can have a little pow-wow with his crew, and step it up. Overall I love Dianas. Very affordable. Parking is great, and Dianas is a stones throw away from Starbucks.

I was craving some carne asada and nopales and came here. Boy oh Boy! The menu is crazy big! Too big. It would take me one day to read. We ordered a beef taco, cheese enchilada plate, and the carne asada plate. I paid $ 20, which I think wasn’t bad at all. The carne asada was big and juicy. The beans are really great and almost buttery like. The taco was perefectly crisp and the salsa is rockin. It’s not spicy but still very tasty. The cheese enchilada was a little too greasy. I will definitely be back. P. S. Karaōke here too!!! I might come back to bust out some Selena!

I was desperately craving some Mexican food so my friend and I decide to try out Diana’s. I’ll start off by saying that I will, under absolutely no circumstance, set foot in this place again. The menu alone is so unGodly long that that it just makes the process of ordering rather complicated. Seeing as you have to order at the counter with the cashier before being able to sit down, I can only imagine how crazy it can get when you have a whole crowd of people standing in front of the never-ending menu overhead trying to decide what to order. Now, once I found what I actually came for on the menu(Carne Asada, item #171, I kid you not), I literally stood in front of Ariana the cashier and waited for her to finish her conversation with her co workers before ever turning in my direction. I should also add that her conversation was neither professional or appropriate as it held plenty of expletive words. When she finally decided to take my order, all I got was«what can I get for you?» as a greeting. She was curt and non informative at best. Now for the food! Save the fact that our orders were brought out at different times(my friend’s came out within ten minutes, and mine hit the table 20 minutes later) but our sides of refried beans tasted like they took all of 5 minutes to heat up on the stove after being scooped out of the can. My steak was extremely over cooked, and the tortillas were barely edible as they were rather hard and cold by the time I got to tear off my second piece. My friend could barely finish his molé and it’s usually one of his favorite dishes anywhere. Perhaps because it had too much time to spoil on the table while we were waiting for my steak to be finished being over cooked in the kitchen. Sorry, Diana’s. I’d say, «Better luck next time,» but there definitely won’t be one of those.

Well I was dreading writing this review because I grew up on Diana’s but I have to say my last 5 visits have not been consistent at all. From burnt beans and rice to cold food. I still love their Flan but my love for the wet burritos and tacos and other favorites will now be forgotten. Sorry Diana’s our divorce is final
