42 Best Mexican Restaurants in Covina

“Real deal. My new favorite Mexican restaurant.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 😍“

“Excellent food and service“

“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.“

“The place looks unique from the outside, also has a drive thru. Inside seating about 4 tables plus outside patio seating. Very friendly staff and inside decor has a very Hispanic/Mexican homestyle warmth. Now the food... so far I've been stuck on their carnitas and asada tacos! Comes with grilled onions and roasted jalapenos! Sooooo gooooood! Meat not dry and very tasty. They are not cheap on the meat either! I also love the abodado burrito (may have mis spelled that), I will try that on a sandwich next visit. Great little gem in town. Us over at the Acura dealer enjoy their food very much! See you guys there!“

“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.“

“On Arrow Hwy and Barranca city of Covina, there's this little gem call Luigi's tacos B.O.M.B tacos!

Best around street Tacos and Burritos all their food is packed of flavor, fresh and best of all unlike other taco stands that barely put any meat, not here they always put more than enough meat on their tacos and Burritos so definitely you get your money's worth.

All the times I've been here they keep their taco stand pretty clean again unlike others that have trash laying around their taco stand this one here they keep it clean. Service as well pretty friendly, dudes cooking the food as well friendly with that welcoming attitude no salty faces here.

Overall awesome spot to hit up for some late night taco cravings. Prices are really reasonable, some of these taco stands around the area are way overpriced that's why you never see anyone hitting those up, so definitely recommend this one!“

“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. ???“

“Yum! This was our first CA Mexican stop after traveling from Oregon, and it did not disappoint! We actually had planned on another place not far from here but parking didn’t allow it, which honestly was a blessing in disguise. I got the carnitas tostada (huge!!) and it was topped with delicious guacamole. The chips and salsa were fresh and flavorful. My daughter got the pancakes and eggs and she enjoyed them. Large portions, extremely friendly service and great food. I hope to be back in the area again someday to visit.“

“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 ??“

“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.“

“They’ve been setup in Fontana on the southwest corner of Sierra & Highland. I’ve only had some asada tacos and a lemonade so far but both were very good. I’m usually skeptical about food on the side of the road but it was very clean & smelled great.Good tasting food, friendly staff & a bonus is they’re all wearing mask & gloves ? reasonable prices as well!“

“tacos de pescado delicious“

“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.“

“Where this spot really stands out is the size of the burrito. It’s huge! What I really love is that it’s a no-rice burrito, unlike most places that fill theirs with mostly rice and beans. This one is loaded with cheese, sour cream, and guac in every bite. The hot sauce has a real kick, too definitely not for the faint of heart!“

“real authentic Mexican food“

“Chile Verde..🎤dropped 😬🌮🤘“

“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....“

“Great vibe, great food! Go there!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Alberto's is the real deal, plus it's one of the only places in the Covina area to get some late night food
Don't be fooled by the many wannabees that use the red and yellow color scheme and names that kinda sound like Alberto's, they're just not the same.“

“I loved it so much!!!

I recently took my wife back to her hometown in La Puente, and we stopped at Snap E Taco in nearby Covina. The food was excellent — flavorful, fresh, and made with care. The portions were generous, and everything tasted just like authentic home-style Mexican food should.

The service was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere had that classic local charm that makes you feel right at home. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why small, family-run spots often beat the big chains.

If you’re in town and craving Mexican food, Snap E Taco is definitely worth the stop. We’ll be back next time we’re in town!“

“The Carne Asada Plate! Bomb!!“

“dope place!!! I'd be back for sure“

“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!“

“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😄👍“

“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.“

“Muy recomendable, los nachos están súper deliciosos y con bastante carne ! Y su horchata muy rica. Su atención al cliente : amables y hablan español. Gracias ☺️“

“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“

“Juan Pollo is very good. They would be very excellent if they offered Mac n Cheese. But they don't. Reason why Food category rec'd 4 stars. But hey it's my choice. Though you ask my husband and he would say they are very excellent.“

“That steak grilled burrito combo has 2 little burritos with cheese melted on top holding them together. 👌 I combined them with the garlic dipper and it was exquisite, truly a treat. Warning do not eat if you have a weak stomach. 😇✌️“

“Very great service, Alfredo the manager is one of a kind. Congratulations to the whole team!!!! 😃😃😃“

“Great service, clean interior and the Turkey Del Taco was delicious!“
