“Service, service, service! This restaurant has it down!!!! We read great "near" 5 star reviews. Ive heard a few times how great it is. But I mean...it just started to spring drizzle and to avoid the crowd, son and I opted to sit outside. They have heatlamps yall!!! There was no wait! The staff gave us an option. Im a vegetarian, and they had me at no lard in the food. Yess! I ordered a hibiscus margarita on the rocks. Delish. He put a lil drizzle of chamoi and tajin. I loved it. He brought a sample of pomagranate margarita also to try. By the time we left the masses had arrived! The food was great. I like the generous blop of pico de gallo, guac and roasted salsa. Great experience and at least 4 employees checked on me. 5 stars !!!“
“It was late, about 20 minutes before closing. I walked in and was greeted by the gentleman there in a very friendly manner. I ordered the 8 piece with sides. Got home and my wife and I absolutely loved and finished every bit of it. Great food, great service. Will be back soon“
“La verdad la comida estaba muy rica! Disfrutamos mucho de los burritos de carnitas. Este establecimiento queda recomendado! Los precios también son muy razonables! Todo está limpio por dentro y lo atienden a uno con mucho cariño! ****** Delicious pork burritos here. We enjoyed the food and the restaurant was clean. The staff was very welcoming and I am for sure returning on my next day off to try another burrito.“
“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.“
“If you're looking for a good time on a Friday night come here. I reserved a table for my moms birthday and the staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The woman who host the karaoke was very sweet and our waiter as well. Me and my family had so much fun.“
“First time eating here and I was very pleased. We had reservations for 18 but only 15 could make it. The staff was so accommodating and took extra care to make our birthday celebration to be a successful event. The food was very tasty. I am definitely going back!“
“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. ???“
“Excellent service from Fabian, Mario and Fernanda every time we go there. It is our weekly hang out place because we love the food and their service.I love trying most of the menus on their list.Vegetarian options: They have variety of options that is not on the menu.“
“The food always has an authentic taste of home, it is fresh and very delicious. Its exquisite sauces and good quality ingredients. If I want a good Mexican food place, I will definitely choose this place, now add the attention of the waitress, she is always there with a smile for you! I recommend it 10/10 ?“
“Love this little drive-through place. Not too far from my house convenient to drive through. The food is excellent and very flavorful and always hot. They just wish it was a better place to sit around there and eat. But I usually pick it up to take it home and enjoy dinner! Can't go wrong here!“
“I had the fish tacos. Super delicious and tasty. The staff are very friendly and generous. Asked for extra onions and cilantro and they gave a lot. The salsas could’ve been tastier, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the green one on the side. Overall solid Mexican food and would recommend to anyone in the area! The ambiance of the restaurant is also very cute and makes you feel like you’re in Mexico“
“The albomdigas soup was as great as II remembered it. The price blew me away. I suppose all businesses had to jump on the price gouging bandwagon to keep up with their competitors incomes.It's no longer about the best prices in town. It's what people are willing to spend to get what they truly enjoy, no matter the cost. I won't be rushing back anytime soon. Because I can't afford steak prices for soup that's just a couple of meatballs and a few veggies in a small bowl. With rice and beans on the side.Mexican food recipes were created from has a history of being able to feed a large number of people on a small budget. I spent a lot of time in Mexico and they are the most gracious people who will share whatever they have to eat always.This is the very best Albodigas soup. So delicious, yet at $18 all I could do was remember how I used to be able to eat here a couple times a month for this treat when it was well under $10.00. I may only go on special occasions now. This time it was my 65th birthday.“
“Been going here almost 9 years, the food is INCREDIBLE, the service is efficient and friendly, their tacos are AMAZING!!!! I highly reccomend their Al Pastor!!!!! Their burritos are top notch too!!!! And don't forget to try their green AND red sauce you won't regret it!!! If you're looking for a taco Tuesday spot, YOU JUST FOUND IT!!!! 10 out of 5 stars.“
“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 ??“
“I went for lunch on a Thursday afternoon, and I loved the grilled fish dish! My mom is super picky about Chiles Rellenos, and she loved theirs! My aunt ordered a chile verde wet burrito with carnitas, and she loved hers! We'll be back for sure!“
“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.“
“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!“
