“ I've been looking for a local spot to get a taste of Fortaleza anejo. Lo and behold, Bizarra has all three expressions of Fortaleza. $16 a pour is a good price and they serve you their free chips and salsa. I will definitely be back. Cheers. ”

“ Food and ambience all 5 stars! Wait staff was friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking ”

“ The most delicious tacos. Relaxing atmosphere and excellent service. I'm looking forward to going back do I can try everything else! ”

“ Seated right away host made good suggestions and the sever also. The food was authentic and delicious had the carne asada and camarones al mojo de ajo and had arroz de leche, reminded me of my mom's going to visit this place again! ”

“ My favorite spot in Whittier and the only place where I will eat tacos! Service is always great- shout out to Ricardo! He's the server with gray curly hair that's always friendly and smiling. Gracias, Ricardo :) Their SALSA is the BEST I've ever had. I'm not Mexican so don't come at me lol. I am Colombian-American, but I want to say this restaurant has many favorites of mine. To top it off, the playlist is on fire tonight! Thank you for all you do! Come see for yourself. It will not disappoint :) ”

“ Boyfriend and I stumbled up on this on our morning walk and so glad we came in. We ordered the veggie omelette and blue corn pancakes. I am now deeply in love with blue corn pancakes. I don't think I can have pancakes any other way. Service was impeccable and the restaurant is gorgeous. It wasn't very crowded which I like. You also have the option to build your own fideo which I will do next time. Look forward to my next visit! ”

“ Bizarra Capital is located downtown in Whittier. The restaurant has a decent menu and drink offerings. Chips and salsa are complimentary and the salsa has a very nice bite to it. The Asada taco and Chorizo also were very flavorable and provided a distinct spiciness to the meal, not needing salsa or hot sauce for extra flavor. Service was very good and the company was even better during the meal. ”

“ Another amazing meal tonight Ricardo was very accommodating. My mom and I will be back.Maybe next time we will invite my sisters . ;) ”

“ Great time going to Bizarra Capital again, we loved seeing the updates they made inside, BEAUTIFUL! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here. We enjoy yummy food; salsa, tacos, and fideo. Everything was delicious and we plan on coming back again! The service was great as well! When choosing a beverage, the waiter took their time to explain the drinks and even allowed me to sample the Agua Fresca. ”

“ Bizarra Capital can be considered to be a nouvelle cuisine Mexicaine based on traditional post & pre-conquest Mexican roots. Since Socal is so multi-cultural, possibly some French, Japanese and other influences can be parsed out in this modern eatery.  First off Octavio was great in guiding us through possible menu selections. He was patient since we ordered piece meal and hadn't decided on the entire meal, but wanted something to eat while perusing other options. Amazing since he had to wait on half of the restaurant.  0) Totopos fried, crispy corn chips were light, golden brown with a pleasing corn masa taste. The cooked salsa seemed made from tomato sauce & finely ground chiles with a satisfying, semi-sweet Umami.  The Tortillas de Maíz for various dishes at Bizarra are very good, rough ground & having a toasty corn scent.   1) **Guacamole is not mashed but sliced like vegan Sashimi. Garnished with lightly fermented, acidic Pico de Gallo/chiles, onion, tomato, cilantro. Dollops of Burrata-like sweet Queso Fresco accompanied by a tostada de Maíz.  2) Costa Azul/Blue Coast is 4 meaty shrimp wrapped in bacon, stuffed with standard, boring, tough American ham. Wish it were the excellent Jamón Serrano de Bellota instead of the ham. Also it is over fried so the bacon borders on almost charred.   Came with a sour Tomatillo based Salsa Verde & mayonnaise infused with Salsa Roja looking almost like Sriracha which is fine. At $22 though, it's a  pass. 3) ***Pato is excellent harking to French Confit de Canard slowly cooked in its own juices. The puffy corn masa based fried Chalupa is pleasantly leathery and has textures like fried Croissant, the passé "cronut".  The orange-chocolate Salsa seems to refer to Canard à l'Orange. Chopped Cilantro seals the deal. This is the gran obra/masterpiece at Bizarra, imo.  4) *Fideo reminds me of Japanese Rāmen or Italian Minestrone. Beef broth infused with red chile hue. Light Umami, Chile piquancy & herbal flavour with initially almost al dente Capellini d'Angeli/angel hair pasta.  Shrimp is sweet, meaty, moist with a slight garlic tinge. Chorizo is porky, firm, chewy. Tons of add ons from their unlabeled Fideo menu list.  5) Huitlacoche Quesadilla: Good quality corn mushrooms that look whole instead of looking like just a black smear. The Queso Oaxaca is a creamy version of Mozzarella. Salsa Verde. However, the whole Huitlacoche Quesadilla is absolutely bland. Wish that the Huitlacoche had been lightly sautéed in a touch of butter, chicken broth, Pico de Gallo powder, onion for some augmented flavour. At $16, another pass.  6) Chicharrón Quesadilla: Fried pork belly skin then slow braised in its own juices till the rubbery, fatty skin is almost translucently gelatinous. Full of porky gaminess like roasted premium Cochinillo Ibérico.  Queso Oaxaca oozes slowly out of this folded, fried Quesadilla. The Jalapeño Aïoli (ah ee oh lee) is a Chile piquant version of a garlic infused mayonnaise sauce from southern France. Good if you lIke game meats.  1-6) Ice Tea: Rather weak standard American "Lipton" ice tea since I had drunk too much Sakè (sah keh) at my down home favorite Sushi Dragon in Sun Valley the day before.  Looking at the wine list, I was so surprised to see only 3 wines from México!!!  Valle de Guadalupe in Baja California del Norte has amazing white & red wines that were all developed in mind pairing with Mexican cuisine! My experience is that French wines generally don't rise to the occasion with chile based foods.  Bizarra Capital  4 stars ”
