GARDUNOS SPORTS BAR & GRILL REVIEWS

There used to be a Gardunos on Whittier Blvd. Now I have to travel to El Monte for their delicious food. I ordered the 7 Mares soup. Pure flavor! I've never had such a tasty bowl of soup. It was a good serving that turned into another meal. Hubby got the wet burrito. It was big and packed with meat. Plenty of parking. No wait. Affordable menu. Fast service.

First time visit for me, and it's been many years since my second half had been there.. Customer service was great, we ordered a carne asada & a Carnitas oven burrito. It was made to order and delicious. Meat was tender and salsa was smoky and spicy.

Typical. Nothing out of the Ordinary. Restaurant is equipped with several Big Screen T.V.'s for patrons entertainment.

PROGRESS ON MAIN REVIEWS

This cocktail bar is fairly new - very surprisingly spacious. The drinks are very good and have a nice presentation, considering the cost of the drinks is on the cheaper end. The bartenders/staff are super friendly and professional - which is ideally why we’ll come back for a future cocktail experience. Thanks, guys - cheers.

Super fun venue with a great variety of cocktails and beers. I was there for a wedding reception and had a great time. My wife had the Pancho Vina and enjoyed it very much. I had the blood orange beer and loved it. The venue is in downtown El Monte with plenty of parking.

Love hanging at Progress for UFC events! Great spot for large groups. Cocktails and Sliders are excellent. Staff is friendly.

THE 626 CRAFT BEER & COCKTAIL BAR REVIEWS

One of if not my favorite bar. Brought to you by Ramirez liquor beer and keg delivery store in boyle heights. They have craft beer on rotation. As well as on point mixed drinks. And fire micheladas. They have Ami jukebox to bumper your favorite jams and billards to have fun with your friends.

Short guy with the beard was the coolest dude ever, served exactly what me and my wife asked for. Drinks created the best vibe I’ve had at a bar in a while. Water and cups were the clearest I’ve seen since Alaska.

My boyfriend and I went and had a great time. The bartender was very welcoming. The happy hour was nice five dollar rum and cokes and they were on point!! This will definitely be our new spot.
