36 Best Mexican Restaurants in Covina

“Excellent food and service“

“Real deal. My new favorite Mexican restaurant.“

“Love this place service is great food is delicious nice atmosphere well worth it only my second time going there but won’t be my last still want to go for breakfast 😍“

“It's located next to Mi Pulgarcito Pupiseria Salvadoreña and near GS Ethiopian Cafe. I had went to this plaza for another restaurant but they closed already for lunch. I decided to try this grilled chicken place, reminds me of Juan Pollo or El Pollo Loco. It seems family owned with a young teen taking my order.

I chose to try the 16 piece family special with half spicy and regular chicken ($44.99) which came with 4 large sides, tortillas and salsa. I chose their macaroni salad, potato salad, rice, and beans. I got a lunch special for myself that came with a can of soda. The seasoning on the chicken was good, the spicy chicken had a good heat. The skin was crispy and the chicken was moist. My family did not like the sides of macaroni and potato salad.

The staff was nice and the wait time was not long.“

“I highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic Mexican food. It's a hole-in-the-wall place with amazing food—they do have both indoor and outdoor seating, but nothing fancy. My go-to favorites are the huarache, carne asada tacos, chorizo con papa breakfast burrito, and the chilaquiles“

“This place is consistent. Great food great service with friendly staff. Came in for breakfast. Ordered the chorizo a la Mexicana and the ham and cheese omelette. They gave chips and salsa. Chips were fresh and crunchy and the salsa had a little spice to it. Portions are generous so be sure to bring an appetite.“

“I went with some friends. Randomly chose this off of reviews. Mexican food and hacienda style restaurant atmosphere on one side and a bar with karaoke in the other. The meats were lacking any real spice or seasoning if I recall accurately, otherwise no complaints!“

“The Molcajete Sinaloa and the barbecue of roasted meat, cheese, shrimp and chicken are 10/10 !!!With rice, beans and corn tortillas made right there, it is a delight!Fully recommended. [Original] El Molcajete Sinaloa y La Parrillada de Carne asada, queso, camarones y pollo están 10/10!!! con arroz, frijoles y tortillas de maíz hechas ahí mismo, es UNA DELICIA! Totalmente recomendados.“

“Their chilaquiles was so delicious and my son has been asking to come back to try their dinosaur pancakes! He was so thrilled coming here! Thank you for the great service and great food, so Authentic!! My family and I Love it here! You can also try their canpechana or shrimp cocktail, so good!!“

“Check out the new restaurant in town. Good portion at the right price. First time here and had the Taquitos so delicious.“

“Señor Baja has stolen my heart with their incredible food and friendly atmosphere. The fish tacos are hands down the best I've ever tasted. The fish is fresh, and the batter is light and crispy, making each bite an absolute delight. But wait, there's more! Their señor nachos are a flavor explosion. The combination of savory toppings and a perfect blend of cheese leaves me craving for more. Whether you're a seafood lover or a nacho enthusiast, Señor Baja is a must-visit spot that will leave you wanting to return again and again. ???“

“My boyfriend and I would always pass by this place wondering what it was. Finally we stopped one day and found out its a wonderful taco stop. I mean so delicious and cooked just right. And the horchata was very delicious as well. A must try.“

“Best tacos in the area hands down.

I've passed by this taco stand many times and never thought to stop but the meat on the gryo caught my eye.
The thing that is different about these tacos is that they're made to order, while the gyro for Al Pastor tacos is working Mr. Luigi hacks off a couple inches of meat and cooks them to order as well as any other meats like Lengua (2nd best flavor) and Chorizo and others.
The salsas are pretty good here as well, it's difficult to find a taco place with both good tacos and good salsas.
The drink choices are a little bit low usually they'll have horchata and maybe jamaica and a few cokes or jarritos so that's one thing to improve but the rest is great for an evening taco stand meal.

The best thing about this place is the tacos are reasonably priced unlike other places and trucks and other stands that charge up to $3+ per taco while Luigi's charges $2 per taco and $5 for mulitas and quesadillas and he can also make burritos as well (unknown price)

I highly recommend trying them our here at Luigi's if you can find them at the corner of Barranca Ave and Arrow Hwy.
I've been told that if they aren't there they'll be at Gladstone and Citrus.“

“This is my first time trying this location as we just moved to Covina and were worried we wouldn't find a spot we'd love but we were not disappointed at all. The food was made correctly and as ordered, the workers there were polite and courteous, the prices were fair and the food was absolutely delicious. We definitely found our new spot by our place that we will be visiting frequently. Definitely recommend to go here, you won't be disappointed....“

“Every time I come to Covina, this is my spot. Tacos (quesobirria & lengua) were on point. But my babe got the Cali burrito..man it was so huge and delicious. I was so happy cause he didn't even notice how many bites I took haha. Definitely recommend ??“

“Bought a carne asada burrito with everything (con todo) green mild sauce. Generous portion size, plenty of meat, fresh cheese, cream, guacamole, chopped cabbage onion. It's not a flashy trendy hip restaurant but a small establishment but what they do, they do right. No drive thru but they provide quick service.“

“Ricos Bionicos, Jugos, nieve, flan, taquitos, nachos, tortas, Cafe de Olla, y mas!

This small, family-oriented Juice bar is located on Arrow Hwy & Hollenbeck Ave. by Vicky's Barbershop with a small private parking lot.
Their menu consists of so many yummy treats such as 'Ice cream, Raspados (shaved ice), Bionicos (Fruit salad), shakes, smoothies, iced coffee, fresh juices, and even food such as hotdogs, sandwiches, salads, tortas, taquitos', etc.
I tried their 'Strawberry smoothie' and a 'Bionico', which is a fruit salad with sweet cream and toppings over it. I liked that the cream was not too sweet. The fruit was fresh and everything tasted great, ideal for this hot weather.
They also have 'Fruit Party Trays' which are perfect for a potluck or simply a gathering.
Service was amazing, very friendly, and welcoming.
Overall, I had a good experience here and will definitely return to try other goodies.“

“This is the last time I buy anything from this establishment. ...this is not the first time ..I purchased a double chicken bowl $14 by itself ..and I got a handful of chicken or I should say remnants It looks like they cleaned the chopping block ..this supposed to be a double chicken bowl ..I'm done w epl“

“dope place!!! I'd be back for sure“

“Chile Verde..🎤dropped 😬🌮🤘“

“tacos de pescado delicious“

“real authentic Mexican food“

“Great vibe, great food! Go there!!“

“The Carne Asada Plate! Bomb!!“

“Been going to Pepe's for upteen years. Today's experience made me realize how badd they've let it go as far as the inside. I went from table to table looking for a clean one. The feel of grudge on the tables leads me to believe they are wiping down but not cleaning much less disinfecting. Most of the seats are taped up. The stereo kept going in n out so they put it so loud it was uncomfortable to enjoy my Tacos. Basically inside and out are looking pretty gettho these days. Food is still good but really Management needs to get in there and see how badd it looks...and whoever thought those paper mache pinatas and those hanging placemats are attractive... their not.
Get rid of those dust collectors“

“The food here is amazing. Best salsa in town and the ceviche is fresh.“

“Idk what people are complaining about. If you can't afford to buy food just DONT go out.🤷‍♀️ They complain but they don't even tip. We've gone a couple of times at odd times of the day and night. Our go to order is the Aztec burrito without beans and add cheese. So good! Love the meat, it's not dry not over cooked like a piece of plastic. Its done fast and the ladies are always nice. Try the Aztec burrito guys😄👍“

“I’ve been coming to Tulia’s Taco Truck for over 12 years, and the quality has been consistently outstanding every single time. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. You can really taste the difference.

The customer service is top-notch—friendly, welcoming, and efficient. Prices are more than fair, especially considering the generous portions and the high quality of the food.

Tulia’s has been my go-to taco truck for over a decade, and it will continue to be for years to come. I’m also looking forward to the day I can book her catering service for my next event. Highly recommend!“

“It's not called the Mariposa anymore it's called Maricios . They have excellent food with a wide variety of food. From authentic Mexican to pizza and hamburgers. Something for everyone. Great prices too. Would recommend it with a 5 out of 5 star rating.“

“Soo delicious, stopped by this location coming down from Big Bear. Had been craving it all weekend, and it didn't disappoint. Everything was delicious, from the Pollo, to the frijoles, arroz, and ensalada de papa.. my mouth is watering writing this review, super sad I don't have a Juan pollo closer to Compton.“

“My husband and I came to eat here and loved the food and service! The music and the environment was very pleasant. We will definitely be coming here again. 😊“

“Very popular place, even for delivery!You want to go here for Mexican food. Don't go to a trashy unsafe food tent that's never inspected with all their ingredients out in the open, gathering who knows what on top of insects. Don't order from a cramped suspect food truck. Order here!“

“Came in for a lunch break between work… I get the feeling that it’s a family owned place which I really enjoy… Large portion of fries which is always great… I wish there were more outlets in general and diners and restaurants so I could work, eat and charge my stuff“

“I love this place. Do not go out of your way to eat here, but if you're in the neighborhood, stop by.
Take away and (marginal) patio seating.
Large menu. Reasonable prices. Easy access to parking. Reasonable amount of parking.“

“Drove from DTLA to Covina just for Taco Tuesday. Love the Club Theme Vibe the music was Amazing. The food and Drinks out of this World.“
