“It's a small restaurant so we were a bit skeptical but the food was good. It was a little bit different than usual Mexican. Fajita had a different flavor and texture than the Fajitas I had before but I still enjoyed it. Fish tacos were really good too.Don't get discouraged by the looks of the restaurant outside, try the food!“
“. I lived in azusa for 13 years and Max's was a wonderful place to visit with family or have birthdays/events. I left for three years and when I returned and brought my fiance for the first time, I am happy to say it's still the same wonderful service and happy atmosphere!“
“Such a diamond in the rough!Please don’t let the shabby strip mall fool you! Once you enter the restaurant, you will be transported to a beautifully lit, fine dining restaurant, at a fraction of the cost. Our server was perfectly attentive, the ambiance was superb, the food was impeccable, and the owner, Gabriel, was warm and welcoming. And the coffee is amazing!I will definitely be returning soon!“
“I had no idea this restaurant existed. If I did, I would've come here at least twice a week. This is easily one of the best Mexican places I've been to in a while. So homey, clean and welcoming. It's in a strip mall, so parking is plentiful and easy. It's the restaurant beside the laundromat. This place specializes in birria. So we got their birria pizza and nachos with birria meat. You order everything either from a cashier at the counter or through a kiosk nearby. It's very high tech. The nachos came out within 5 minutes. It tasted fresh and home-made. My son and husband just attacked it with gusto and barely left me any. The tortilla chips were light and didn't taste greasy. The birria meat was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. This was the best dish of nachos I've ever had. That's saying something! The birria pizza was so flavorful...it isn't made with pizza dough but with crunchy tortillas that were generously packed with the meat and cheese. I was surprised by the structural integrity - it didn't fall apart even after I dipped it into their consommé (which tasted like a liquid dream) multiple times. I couldn't stop eating because I enjoyed the mouthfeel so much. The owner, Francisco, was kind enough to allow us to sample their churros which were made in-house. They were the most righteous proportions of crunchy and soft. And dipped into their dulce de leche (which is not cloyingly sweet but surprisingly balanced and complemented the churros so well) - we knew we were addicted. All in all, this was such a serendipitous find. We're so lucky we stumbled upon this gem. This must not be gatekept! Go to Fuego Cravings and thank me later!“
“Had the Salmon with Green Curry and the Shrimp Garlic Noodle. Honestly some of the best seafood in the area!! Amazing staff, incredibly friendly and welcoming!! If you’re in the mood for some good fish/seafood options, check them out!! 5/5“
“This is a hole in the wall. The sauces this places produces is pack with flavor. These bold flavors come in different variations of heat mild is ok the hot one is spicy but enjoyable and extra hot you better be ready to guzzle water. You can taste the difference in the spices the owner Nam uses he takes pride in his work and the taste is there. No wait unlike the big name places, but their food speaks volumes. This place holds true to great food from a family business. This place has won this foodie over. Hidden Gem in Covina there are a few of these places and this is one of them. Glad to have stumbled upon it. Glad I didn't listen to the 1 bad review.“
“We had a great time here! It felt like you were transported to the mountains of China. The food was artfully presented, and it was fun to have something different in a sea of Chinese restaurants. Our group wasn’t into the super spicy, so we didn’t try the ma-la stuff. The service was not super proactive but we were served quickly when we did ask for anything. All in all a great experience. Follow @teamibrahimre for more reviews & local highlights!Kid-friendliness: My kids loved the koi pond and the rocks ?There were enough non-spicy foods that my kids could enjoy.“
“The 20 oz. Rib eye and Filet Mignon steaks, Potato Romanoff and racing atmosphere made our evening superb. The only thing better was our server "Bobby"who is on top of his game. We look forward to seeing him and another great dinner at The Derby in October. Thank you for making our evening so special.Richie and Marcia Mc DonaldParking: Easy Valet Parking, very professional staff - a delight to do business with“
“All kinds of foods from Akasaka sushi restaurant are always Hugh! Big! more n more foods coming!!! Particularly the Hugh sizes for hand rolls, Big volume for sashimi, even the lunch combinations.... Fish's are so freshly and smell good!! Tasty and delicious are guaranteed.... One of the best sushi shop in the area!! Services are good enough n right on... could be more effective but the restaurant is so busy all the times..!! Simple n classic Japanese style small petite sushi shop designed...“
“The workers are all so kind! Especially the woman with the bob. She was very beautiful on the inside and out. You can tell she wanted you to just have a good time eating there. My friends and I came and she was so sweet to all of us. Thank you for being sweet to us and letting us have a good time. :)“
“Excellent and addictive. The last time there was good service, the only thing missing was some tablecloths that I ordered, and an order of corn that I paid for, but hey, it's understandable, a lot of customers. I hope next time they won't be missing ? Thank you all for your good attention.“
“Food is salty and flavorful. This is a good thing. I highly recommend the beef sashimi and lamb skewers. Beef sashimi kept warm very well. One thing to note is that you have to "send" in your order using your phone. Im a oldie and this is annoying. My friend ordered for us. The English menu is not entirely translated correctly. It takes quite a bit of time to get your order. So keep ordering Their flavored soju cocktail is too sweet, barely any soju. They have 2 beers on tap...coors light and a japanese one (i think). I was a little eerrked with the "server" bc she made it sound like ordering 12 lamb skewers between 2 ppl was alot. So we reduced to 10 skewers. We ordered like 20 more skewers after Pls we're pigs lol The setup inside is not ideal but whatever. The deco is totally weird and im wondering what the concept is. There was karaoke that started when we were about to leave... so glad we were leaving. Hehe“
“Visited this establishment the other day. It is a small venue, but the people who work here make you feel welcome. I tried some empanadas (shrimp) were delicious! I had a campechana cocktail and a tostada de camarón. Both of these were also delicious. I loved the chips and salsa and I appreciated the fact that the food here is made fresh as soon as you order. The service here is great. The ladies who work here are courteous and very friendly. It was a good first impression and I would definitely come back to dine here.“
“Friendly staff, we had more than one server taking care of us, food came out fast and efficiently, bottomless chips and salsa and the fish tacos have made it to my top 5 that’s I’ve ever tried! The sauce, the crispy fish, the flavour. 10/10“
“Thee best place for breaded fried fish and shrimp. They have daily specials with many different items to choose from. Not only seafood but steak, chicken, and burgers. Thursday dine in only,1 free kids meal w/purchase of 1 menu item over $13.95. Kids under 12. So many special combinations. Daily specials and take out family packs. Many items that I wanted to try, but i didn't know where to start. So I will be going back real soon. Oh prices are very, very reasonable. Trust me you won't be disappointed.Parking: Corner restaurant so u can get in or get out parking lot easily. Handicapp parking space is limited.“
“Amazing!This place blows The Boiling Crab, Kickin' Crab, and Seafood & Crawfish out of the water. It feels more authentic Vietnamese-Cajun than the other establishments, and we love that. They're very attentive to you and your table and I love that the brought out the waters immediately! They offer gloves and apron. The dining room is large and seating families is no problem. The food is high quality and the prices are competitive. This place was a little empty on a Saturday night, but the food was absolutely incredible. Wishing them more business!“
“This place is remodeled from when I last visited. It's spacious, clean and the food is fresh and delicious. ? I had the fish tacos and my wife the chilaquiles. My wife loved her plate which was served with rice and beans. My fish tacos..... WOW!!!! They were delicious. They are now amongst my top 10 of best fish tacos, for sure. The fish portions are huge and barely fit on the regular size tortilla. The taste was fresh, not fishy. It's and absolutely must try. I will definitely be coming back to try some of the many other dishes they serve. As for their prices, the menu did not have any. Our bill for 3 people was $45. This includes sodas and our food. I thought it fair. The service was awesome. They were very attentive and made sure we were content during our visit. The restrooms were very clean and are handicap friendly. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family for dine-in or take out. ❤️Parking: Free parkingWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“
“It was my first time going, especially after seeing the reviews. The food was really good and pricing also. BUT my only complaint is that the girl employee was clearly on something. I was trying to enjoy my food but all I could notice was her erratic behavior, then her sister came in another strange character. I left feeling icky and the experience was not comfortable for customers seeing that sort of situation.“
“First time here. Good size portions for the ceviche tostadas. I asked what were the top selling and the cashier said pescado, camaron, and aguachiles.I ordered two of the three (camaron, and aguachiles) and they did not disappoint. They were loaded with ceviche and tasty. The tostada was solid, crunchy, and did not break apart if you wanted to lift it to eat.Check out the picture. They do have beer on the menu.“
“The place have been on my tagged list to try and I finally dropped in for lunch with my aunt and stuffed ourselves silly with yummy food & fabulous drinks. HIGHLY recommend!FOOD: They have reasonable lunch specials available from which we ordered the chicken enchiladas & al pastor street taco. Both were great & very tasty. I also had a craving for chilaquiles so we ordered that off the regular menu and my cravings were very well satisfied. We forgot to order the highly recommended shrimp empanadas but that’s a perfect excuse for us to go back soon!DRINKS: I mean they are truly one of the highlights of our meal. The signature “La Sexy Michelada” was one of the best I’ve had. It literally had a whole half of a mango seasoned with chamoy & tajin balanced on a tamarind candy stick in a large glass mug liberally rimmed with chamoy & tajin. The michelada itself was perfectly made IMHO. My aunt ordered the Margarita Flight and she thought every single one was delicious & unique. Her personal fave was the cucumber margarita & mine was the mango margarita.“
“Love love love the cucadachaShrimp ....I'm sure I misspelled but all their shrimp are bomb and shrimp cocktails as well. My only complaint is Please UPDATE your online menu .....I ordered for my company and WOW we went off of the listed prices on menu on websiteDefinitely not updated , and increased by 2 to 3 dollars , I understand things are going up but then I as a customer should be able to count on the business to keep me updated on NEW PRICES , because your food is delicious ? people will still pay but kinda unfair to have that surprise when u get the final bill and it's 50 bucks more then calculated from online prices .Just a friendly suggestion, I love to refer people . Also small tacos not worth the price at all“
“I came here on a whim. It looked like it had recently opened up not long ago. If you dine in, they offer free chips and homestyle salsa that is incredibly fresh. The inside ambiance is between an actual restaurant and fast food chain. The tacos and burritos were off the hook. Great quality meats. I had chili verde, asada and shrimp, and all 3 were above par. I also partook in their own style of michelada mix. Although i enjoyed it, i thought the price was a bit steep. If they brought down the price a bit for the michelada mix (as it's a separate charge) from ordering a beer. I would be downing a lot more of them. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The establishment was very clean inside and out. The waitress was attentive, the food was great, and i will definitely be coming back. One of the better mexican food joints in the immediate area.“
“Tried the Two Fish Taco plate with rice and beans. The fish was really fresh and hot. The salsas were good. The red one is kinda hot and the green one is on the milder side. They also give you chips and salsa. The combo comes with a drink but if you want an agua fresca they charge another $1.25. I had the pineapple and it was really good. A great quality meal for a great price! I would love to try the ceviche next time.Parking: This restaurant is in a strip mall shopping complex so there is plenty of free parking.Wheelchair accessibility: There are handicap parking spots and ramps to get up on the curb. Inside is kind of small and may be a little hard to maneuver if it's during one of the busier times of the day like lunch and dinner.“
“This is an interesting spot. It's in a mall where many of the signs don't even bother with English which is a good sign. You know you will probably get something authentic. I was passing through the area and came solo for lunch. The main dining area was filled with large round tables and was filled with customers. I was ushered to a small room with small tables for small parties like me. I asked what they were famous for and she directed me to the black cod. At $42 it was a bit pricey for lunch so I went for the three cup casserole with chicken.I'd say the food was good. Didn't blow my socks off but I would definitely come back. Service was great.“
“Uno de los mejores restaurantes de comida Mexicana que hemos visitado toda la comida muy rica y buen servicio por supuesto que vamos a regresar una y otra ves gracias Iván Esparza mil gracias por la comida tan buena que Tienen y el lugar súper limpio“
“I love the lunch specials at El Camichin. The chimichanga is my favorite, and I recently found out you can order it burrito or flautas style. (I prefer burrito!)The service here is always friendly, no matter how busy it is. Whenever I have questions, they patiently explain things to me. After I order, they welcome me to sit down in the restaurant while I wait for my food. :)“
“I’m a fan. Lots of history here. This was also a filming location for the movie Bad Santa. The hotel IS haunted. But I don’t believe it is yet operational again. The Mayan is and it’s a really cool place. The staff is super friendly and engaging as well. Be sure to walk around and check out the pictures on the wall. Yes! They are from the 30s and 40s. Welcome to Old Route 66.“
“Went to Giovanni's to celebrate my wife's birthday. Decided to keep it local and came here for the 1st time. We really enjoyed the food and service here, the lobster ravioli was delicious, the clam linguine was good too! Our server was great and the atmosphere was relaxed and quiet. If your in downtown Covina this place is a gem. Definitely recommend Giovanni's for a nice dinner. Btw the cocktails were ??“
“My wife and I came here on a Saturday night and there were maybe about 3 other tables occupied. There was live music which was great. We didn't see anyone working so we sat ourselves in a booth and patiently waited for someone to take our order. Ended up ordering the botana la palma and ceviche de pescado. About 5-10 minutes later we were informed there were no more fish for the ceviche, so we decided to go with shrimp instead. The service was a bit slow or non existent. Maybe because the restaurant was hosting a paint&sip on the other side and required the waitress' attention. Nonetheless the food was amazing! Seafood tasted fresh and full of flavor. Where it went a bit wrong was when we got our bill. I typically just double the tax for a 20% tip, but didn't realize until afterwards that 1. The tax was off and 2. We got the wrong bill. The botana la palma was $25 and ceviche i believe was around $19, but was charged $25 for sashimi de atun azul. The tax was only $2.49 so our tip was unfortunately lower than intended (sorry, I was tipsy). My fault for not checking, but I was in a rush. Overall, would definitely come back, but will double check my bill.“
“The customer service right off was awesome the entire experience, the AC was on and it was a beautiful sunny day. Very pleasant atmosphere, but most importantly, the food was AMAZING, we got the #2 $130. We tried And we couldn’t finish it! everything tasted fresh, the sauce is made fresh every day and I could tell, hands down the best! I didn’t get the older gentleman’s name, he was super helpful, Rachel and Lauren super courteous, over all super sweet girls! I rarely leave reviews, but this place Definitely deserves it!“
“I just had the best Friday night this year here. Came with my favorite people for some margaritas to unwind, and left having had the best Mexican food in the area and the most delicious margaritas. The customer service was wonderful, our waiter especially was very kind and personable. The ambiance of the bar was amazing and relaxed. Perfect for a Friday night out! We were especially delighted to have heard a few nice karaoke performances“
“Had to update. Can't even update the STAR reviews if I could I would update them 2 stars I've been coming here since they opened, and at least 2x a week, love their food n service but the prices in last year have gone up by almost $5 each item. That's why I cut back n only go once a month if anything or less. I use to spend at least $60 a week there. Now prices have tripled and just not it anymore. Shouldn't take advantage of price hikes that everyone else is doing like rents, gas, food, etc. Smh“
“Any neighborhood where I seem to keep on finding some gems, I would add this to the list. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but you walk in and it's a pretty large, nautical themed mariscos restaurant. The folks here were super friendly. I came in, got seated right away and was given some chips and salsa while looking over the menu. The salsa has a nice kick to it and was tasty. I don't think I've ever had it, so I ordered the aguachile verde. Super fresh shrimp and really fresh ingredients. The sauce was spicy. Prob right at my personal threshold. I really loved the citrusy acidity of the sauce, which was balanced by the earthiness of the red onion. Just a really delicious fresh dish. I thought the prices were reasonable especially for what I got. Definitely recommend this place and I would love to come back and try some of the other items on the menu.Parking was pretty easy for me especially at lunch on a weekday. I'm not sure how it is on the weekends.“

“Are you looking for a place to eat in Baldwin Park/ El Monte area ? Try this joint u don't regret. They have specials Mo-Fr from 6.99 to 11.99 . Today, asada plate , so delicious ... Also, carnitas , fried chicken,milanesa,and pork chops so good ... Complementary chips and salsa , very nice staff.“
“It was my first time visiting this little small gem ! I haven't had a torta Ahogada since I was in GDL. I must say it was pretty good . I will visit again and try something else. Customer service was good too . Champurrado was good too!“
“We went specifically to try their menudo. It came recommended by my nephew. He was so right. The flavor was on point. Just like "mom's." Honeycomb tripe and "pata" were tender. Plus, their "cafe de la holla" was delicious. Will need to come and try other dishes on my next visit.“
“A small Mariscos/ seafood restaurant located in an unassuming strip mall on the border of La Puente/ City of Industry. I'm not sure if it's gonna change, but as of 9/23, this place is only open Fri - Sun. Kind a hard to spot from the outside or driving by but once you get in this place is a clean, cozy mom-and-pop style restaurant. The folks here are always friendly and helpful. The food is fantastic and fresh and really, really reasonable in terms of pricing. I've been here three times now as I'm writing this and I think it's one of my new favorite spots. Since it is only open on Friday through the weekend, I only have been here for Friday lunches. The food: Dorados de camaron taco - my go to. Had at least one on all my visits. Perfectly fried, crisp on the outside, and a plump / good amount filling in the middle. It might rival another place that's famous in Los Angeles for fried shrimp tacos. And also, am I crazy to think that this reminds me of some shrimp Vietnamese egg rolls I've had? I just love this item so much. Ceviche tostada - super fresh with a clean flavor and generous amount of topping with avocado. Filete empanizado / pescado estilo Ensenada tacos - i'm a big fan of both these tacos as well. Just a big serving of perfectly fried fish with delicious toppings. Coctel de camaron - really reasonable pricing for a good amount of delicious fresh shrimp in a not too spicy cocktail sauce. Overall, I just really like this place. I like everything about it. It's one of those places where I feel like I'm the only non-native Spanish-speaking person that comes in which I feel like is a sign for a good time. Especially with the music.“
“Ordered the dry pot crab from here for the first time for take out. The crab was so delicious and spicy, seriously, I'm craving it as I type this The service was quick and friendly. The decor inside is very aesthetic too, I highly recommend eating here!“
“I tried this restaurant 3 times before writing an honest review; so here’s the true… great food, great service the customer service is friendly and fast! I order the food to go and my drive is over an hour but they are careful to pack it in a way that keeps great until my destination. Great job ?“
“I’m originally from vegas so I have a specific Chinese restaurant I go to but considering I will be in Cali for a while I decided to try something new! Amazing I got the shrimp fried rice and the chicken wings it was amazing and super fresh! The only thing was I had to add extra soy sauce because it didn’t seem to have been enough which that is a simple fix. Amazing job. I definitely recommend and would have this again ?“
“Popped in to check out this place in Baldwin Park. Pleasantly surprised. We not expecting to have breakfast at a fish place. Cafe de Olla was huge and perfect Eggs with chorizo where perfect. I asked for a grilled Chile. The house sala not very spicy. Service Staff went out of their way to make me feel at home. Overall: good place to come check out in San Gabriel Valley- Baldwin Park“
“This place is SUPER BOMB. I've never had aguachiles like these before they're so identical to the ones in Mexico. Their tacos are delicious specifically the Maniaco Tacos. The service is good and quick ! Even their sauces they offer are delicious as well. My family and I love coming here for mariscos definitely THE spot in the area no one compares.“
“Was passing through on a Sunday afternoon when the Wife and I searched for Thai lunch...ran across this quaint place. Food came out hot and fresh. Quality and quantity were good for the price and the presentation was quite surprising... well done (see photos). Service was friendly and quite hospitable. This place is quite small, so it is recommended to either call for takeout or show up in small groups of 4 or less as seating is very limited, but quite a treat for the sitdown service. We had Pad Thai and Pad See ew and Thai Tea. Definitely recommend and we will be back.Parking: The parking lot is small and limited as this location does have other businesses.“
“A few years ago, I went to El Perihuete and I loved it. I hadn't been in a while because it was in the South Gate area and that's a good 35-40 minutes from where I live. A few months ago, my coworkers ordered ceviche and it was soooo good! I asked about the place and have been going since. Just the other day, I was told that El Marisquero was actually El Perihuete. No way! Except this spot is in El Monte like 15 minutes from where I live. I have picked up ceviche for my family and I a few times since then. Everyone loves it. It's a whole little package too. It comes with a bottle of Tapatio, saltines, and an entire pack of tostadas. I'm not too fond of the tostadas so I usually just swing by the market about a block or two away to get different ones.The service is great. They are very attentive but I don't feel like anyone's breathing down my neck either. Nobody walks up mid-bite to ask any questions.The ambiance is super chill. The place is nicely decorated. It's just a great spot overall! I'll continue coming here on a somewhat regular basis. Especially while it's still kinda summertime. You've gotta check this place out!“
“I really enjoy going to Johnny Shrimp Boat. It's such a great place to be! One of my favorite things there is definitely the beans with the gravy, they are just so delicious. I also appreciate the friendly and cheerful nature of the guy in the front, he always puts me in a good mood. Oh, and they even have succulents available for purchase at the front. It's definitely worth checking out, the food is simply awesome!“
“Food is fresh and delicious. Does not have like a dirt taste to it like some other seafood places I've been to. They really hook it up and are not stingy with their seafood.its not like they're counting shrimps, again, like other places. They got few TV's and I believe a jukebox for entertainment. Staff is polite and friendly. Been here twice and I like it.“
“Always came here with my family when I was small and my family was really close to the owner where he would give me free ice cream. Staff is so friendly and always welcoming. Fortunately the quality of the food never lost its taste. Everything comes out fast. Chips and salsa are very good.The Hollenbeck/Azteca burrito is the best burrito I've ever had in my opinion.10/10 Would recommend. The beef taquitos are great too. Overall, great food, great service, and great environment. Will always be one of my favorite restaurants.“
