Contemporary Mexican
A blend of old school and new school Mexican meets West Coast fish house and raw bar.

Día de Campo owners Chef Tin Vuong and Jed Sanford’s vision for a Mexican and seafood restaurant set in the South Bay of Los Angeles. Located in Hermosa Beach, just a block off the sand and strand, Día de Campo is a modern surf lodge, of sorts, catering to those who want to disconnect, leave the day behind and gather with friends and strangers over flavorful food and drinks. The menu has Chef Tin paying homage to the array of Mexican and Latino food he’s enjoyed growing up in LA, mostly coming out of cocinas east of the LA River, while also taking inspiration from the fish houses, oyster bars and surf shacks along the coasts of California, Mexico, Hawaii and wherever the Pacific meets the sand.

    I really want to like this place because the food is pretty good and the margaritas were delicious. However, the music level is extremely loud. And it does not fit the vibe of the restaurant at all.  it’s a cute Mexican place. The music playing is like 90s rap music. Additionally , the service is lacking. We waited at the host stand for a while before having to go inside and find someone to be seated.  as we were going inside to find someone, several waiters walked by, and did not ask if they could help. When I finally found the hostess, she was not apologetic in the least and not real personable at all. After telling her that we had a reservation, she spent several minutes looking at the iPad, trying to figure out where to sit us. To the point that we were worried that she forgotten about us. After seating us, it took several minutes for a waiter to come over. Our waiter was very nice. We were there for a Mother’s Day dinner, and I asked him if we could be moved somewhere where the music wasn’t as loud, perhaps toward the front of the restaurant. He offered to turn the music down. However, I don’t really think he did as the volume didn’t seem to change much.   Overall, the Carnitas tacos were very good & the margaritas tasty. Happy hour prices are good. Service sucks. Turn down the music a little.

    Service was very slow though friendly. Probably as a result, food was presented warm, not hot. Cocktails were delicious but took a long time to get. We tried the restaurant during Dine LA. $55pp. With cocktails our total tab was $144. Our perception of value was low. Based on our experience, we would not return.

    The place is super cute and there are a lot of menu options. We went cause we had a groupon and got the al pastor. It was a really fun and unique dish (presentation wise) and was more than enough food for 2 people. The food was tasty but it did have a good amount of fat that had to be cut out. I liked that the meat was not overly salty. Drinks were solid and the service was good.

    Delicious and accommodating. We made a reservation and were 16 minutes late. I was willing to wait if needed, but the hostess when ahead and seated us. The service was great, I feel that every employee came to check up on us or refill our drinks or salsa. The food was so good, I was stuffed but still wanted to finish it. We will definitely go back!

    This is a very good restaurant for the area. It is quite stylish, a very interesting menu, a good drink menu and has a valet parking lot next door. It is a bit loud so don't expect to have a quiet conversation. The servers don't rush you which is nice these days. The food was very fresh and there are great choices for all types of eaters. We will go back!

    We had the worst service ever, had to wait 30 minutes for our drinks, the food though very good was overpriced. I had told our waiter that we needed to leave by 8, our food came at 745 so we had had no time to enjoy it. We scarfed down what we could and left.

    Terrible. Service was awful. Waited an hour and still no food. Asked to talk to manager and the server never sent him/her over. And their comment kept being, “food is on its way.” Then we were told “sorry for the wait we will give you free salsa…” salsa was served in a tiny ramekin. The people next to us sat after us and were finished with their meal while we were still waiting. And all we ordered were tacos!!!!

    The bartenders were fantastic. It was National Margarita Day and they were slammed. Our bartender was making a wide variety of margaritas - even some of his own concoctions - and never stopped hustling the entire time we were there. A++ for this guy!!

    I have eaten here before due to a Dinner voucher I purchased from Travelzoo. Without this, it would have been a pricey meal for what you are getting. The service has always been very slow and it could be from the lack of staffing, but even the other few times I have eaten here, it has also been slow even before the pandemic. The staff were all nice, though. Their food is good over all but has declined a bit from my previous experience. Maybe it's just a hit or miss for me. But one thing annoying is that they charge for Chips and Salsa. Usually that is a staple "free appetizer" offering from a Mexican restaurant but now they are charging $6 for it. Another thing that I feel is a rip off is their brisket empanada. It tasted ok but definitely not $18 worth for one piece big enough for only a couple of bites. The Alpastor is a good value and tasted good. It is recommended to be shared between 2 people, and they are on point with that. The dessert we had were really good, like the Churros and Mouse Cake (currently substituted for their Lava cake).

    Dia de Campo really needs help managing their service. We were seated and no server ever checked in with us, but they did check in with the tables next to us that were seated after us. Those tables also received their drinks and food long before we did. At one point we asked the manager why we were being ignored and he took our order. Others checked on us throughout the evening, but we never knew who our server was. The food was just so-so. Some tacos came and they were actually cold. I really hope this place gets their act together.

    First: the al pastor was fantastic. Overall: we’re glad we tried it, we won’t be coming back. Staffing kinks are many, service was noticeably inconsistent, i.e., multiple employees asking how it’s going within the first five minutes, gone-poof-of-smoke for the rest of the time (had to get up to ask for hot sauce and then the check). Music was painfully middle-aged-white-guy unoriginal: Stevie Wonder / Guns N Roses / Beatles. Sure it’s Hermosa Beach, but c’mon…

    We come to the restaurant often and it seems like there was a change in management and or chef as the food was different and not as good. The service was terrible it took us 25 minutes to get our drinks after we ordered. And then the drinks were wrong. The margaritas did not taste how they used to they were not of the same quality.

    Awful experience. We paid and left after 75 mins when we still had not received our food, we had a drink each, chips and guacamole (we had to ask for salsa as it was not even brought with the chips). The kitchen was severely understaffed and the server did not even try to make us stay (or offer anything in the form of an apology). The menu has changed (no a la carte tacos anymore) and the music was too loud and rock themed on a Friday night. We will not be coming back although this used to be one of our favorite places in Hermosa for a night out.

    I haven’t been to Dia del Campo since they opened and was looking forward to this meal. First they were out of the fish so we decided on the two tacos plate. Ordered the seafood dip which was delicious. Tacos came out with cold rice and beans. Our fault for not saying anything to the waitperson. But they weren’t busy so don’t understand why food was cold. Very disappointed with the food. Can’t help but compare to better places like Guerilla Tacos. Won’t be returning.

    Decided to try this place just because we'd never been there. It happened to be during Dine LA and we decided to do the special menu. The food was mediocre, the service slow and uneven. We ordered our four course meal then waited for 15 minutes for the first course then were bombarded with the second and third courses immediately. The portions were strange for a four course meal. I got a full size chimichanga after having two previous courses. Ended up just taking it home. Probably a great place for drinks and happy hour but they shouldn't try to do anything fancier than that.

    I have been here before and enjoyed the experience but my visit on 10/18 was terrible. There was a definite gap in service. We waited at the door to be seated for quite a bit and consider leaving then only to be seated and no one even came with water for another 20-30 minutes so 30-45 minutes in and we are just at water service. Several customers came and waited too long at the door and left due to the lack of attentiveness. The menu was unaccommodating for dietary needs and a simple nacho order had to have meat...? The Chimichanga which was offered as part of Dine LA menu was not available for ala cart order and DineLA had to be for the entire table even though the charge was per person and they could not anend dishes to be meatless. Overall poor experience. We had drinks and went somewhere else for dinner.

    The hamachi appetizer was delicious with a balance of flavors, and then it was downhill from there. Service was extremely slow - we ran the risk of running out of time on our 2-hour parking meter during our 4 course dinner. The buffalo cauliflower was solid though probably predictably boring. The prawns were overcooked and therefore chewy. The chimichurri steak was tasty but echoed the flavors of the hamachi, which seemed strange. The chicken chimichanga was forgettable and not helped by the fact it arrived lukewarm. The churros were heavy on the cinnamon sugar and dry. All staff was cordial and portions were generous, but that wasn't enough to make up for the missteps.

    Love the ambience, and the drinks menu was terrific. The food was hit or miss. The tacos were super dry, and no side sauces were offered. The corn was over cooked. But the grilled salad was delicious. I loved the place for brunch, but I think dinner may not be as impressive.
