50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Covina

“Dog friendly. No kitchen and allow outside food. Great and very unique beer + fresh sake.

This is my first sake-ery in the US. Had been to a couple in Japan. We tried their beer and their sake. It's hard to find fresh sake in the US. If you have not tried fresh sake, you have to try it because they taste sooooooo much better than any sake you have tried in a restaurant or from the supermarket. The sake are so smooth and very refreshing. Each of them had unique and distinct flavor profiles. Their beers are great too.They brew their beer in Japanese style so it is very unique and different from other breweries. Absolutely coming back for more sake and beer!!!“

“The food & service is always on point“

“As someone who’s passionate about clean eating and mindful of digestive health, I’m always looking for restaurants that balance authenticity with freshness and care. My visit to GS Cafe was a wonderful experience that checked many of those boxes.

I ordered the veggie platter, which came with great portion sizes and fresh ingredients enough for a 2 or 3 more meals! The injera appeared to have some barley mixed with teff, so while it wasn’t entirely gluten-free (as other reviewers mentioned), it was still light, fluffy, and beautifully made. I did miss a bit of that traditional sour tang, but it was clear that real attention went into its preparation.

The Key Sir (beets) were the star of the show — tender, perfectly cooked, and incredibly flavorful. Honestly, it was the best beet dish I’ve ever had.
The Misir Wot (red lentils) was surprisingly mild — a thoughtful touch for those sensitive to spice like me. The entire platter leaned toward a gentler spice profile than most of the 50+ platters I’ve tried over the years, but the staff provided traditional spice mix on the side, which was a lovely option for those wanting an extra kick.

The Gomen (greens) had more of a creamed-collard texture than the al dente style I prefer, but it was still well-seasoned. The Fasolia (string beans) and Atkilt (cabbage and carrots) were cooked nicely, though a touch on the oily side — not enough to upset my stomach, but it could be lighter.

And wow! the Ethiopian smoothie was a beautiful surprise! A refreshing blend of avocado, mango, and strawberry, it struck the perfect balance of sweet, fresh, and hearty.

The staff were outstanding; kind, welcoming, and clearly proud of their food. The young man who served me had such a positive attitude that it genuinely added to the warmth of the meal.

Overall, GS Cafe is an excellent choice for those trying Ethiopian food for the first time or for anyone seeking authentic flavors served in a gentle, stomach-friendly way.“

“My family and I visited the other day and we will definitely be returning. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was enjoyable the perfect place for a family. The owner and his son were the kindest people and you can tell they take pride in what they are serving. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Kal and Ria are really great people! I love the atmosphere and service they provided. I would definitely come back and recommend this to people who want to try Mediterranean food but also like to enjoy the experience. Please come by and visit them! They deserve all the love and support from everyone that visit them. Get the chicken kabob plate its really good!“

“Real deal. My new favorite Mexican restaurant.“

“amazing doesn't even describe my Garlic Knots and Spaghetti Caprese. loads of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and fresh basil. The price was also amazing. wish this was vloser to home!“

“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.“

“great place to eat and drink. friendly staff and awesome food. I highly recommend. five stars“

“The food was extremely tasty. I got four entrees, which were brought out to us fast. For three people I spent around $80, which is reasonable considering the portions you get, plus the drinks. Overall, the staff was hospitable and attentive, so it’s a must try spot, as you won’t regret it.“

“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 😍“

“I just love this place. Since like forever. I love how it can be 100 degrees outside but you step inside and it’s a cozy winter cabin. I really only come here for the salad and bread but I will say I’ve had the small steak the last couple visits and it’s amazing.“

“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 trivia host is amazing and super good looking and I he’s the best thing ever since sliced bread 😬“

“This is a lunch truck but the food is really good. The buche burrito was so delicious that i went back & tried the carne asada burrito. It was good too. The green salsa was my favorite. I liked the pickled red onion too. Take a twistem to close the condiment baggie.“

“We had a great time at BB’s Cafe
We ordered burritos, fried chicken, waffles, and eggs. The food was tasty and fresh, and the portions were just right. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“If not one of the best sushi 🍣 bars in Southern California or is the best in Southern California if you are ever in the West Covina San Gabriel Valley area it's a must stop and check it out the owner is so sweet and if the same sushi chefs one of the most premier chefs in the business I consider myself a condasuer now in sushi try the Javier roll and for the begginers in trying sushi go for the lobster roll u won't regret it well it will pinch your wallet u Will definitely enjoy the meat“

“Muy bonito ambiente sobretodo un lugar muy relajante y la variedad de vinos es un plus. Me Encanto!!“

“I'm a huge breakfast fan, and THIS place is my always go-to spot in Covina. The staff is always friendly, the coffee is quite good and refreshed often, food portions are on the larger side, the taste is excellent, and the somewhat dated decor just fits the whole experience. If you like old school diners... this place is for you.“

“The services and food is wonderful“

“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!!“

“Amazing experience! I love the atmosphere, looks like the old restaurants from the movies. 🤩 The server was super helpful and the food was delicious. Definitely I’m coming back! Btw the restaurant sells Disney products in the entrance.“

“Fantastic customer service. Kudos to Brianna and Edward. First time at this location I will definitely return. Nice ambiance and spacious. Manager "Joanna" was very helpful. We had the bunch of lunch, They never let the quantity or quality run down and the salad bar was very fresh. Thank you ?“

“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“

“Good times, great people and awesome staff“

“The Carne Asada Plate! Bomb!!“

“Best pizza in town 🍕😍😋 Kids love it ❤️“

“Great food! We had pizza and it was great. Not greasy. Friendly staff.“

“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 ??“

“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. ???“

“They have a great system and food.
Everyone knows it that goes. It all runs like clockwork. They are geared to handle it because they are so good they get that much business. I think everything goes better when they're busy. Super friendly staff, generous servings, good service all that makes this a five star pick. Look at the aerial view and see even they're drive through is perfectly painted for efficiency. Sweet!“

“Everything was good!! Service, food and wine!“

“Townsent is a hit or a miss. I guess it depends who is manning the kitchen and who is taking your order. Today for lunch the food sucked. I ordered for 2 people, 1000 year pork, crispy fried shrimp, stir fried clams with ginger sauce and Kung Pao scallops. The 1000 year pork was a little chewy, normally it should melt in your mouth. The ginger clams and scallops had no flavor at all, we had to spice it up ourselves. It tasted like it was just boiled in water. The steam rice was soggy and looks like it’s been steamed way too long. The only thing I enjoyed was my hot tea. The waiter never checked on us at his own. We had to whistle him down. Maybe their food and services at night is a better hit. All I know is that I had good dining experience with them in the past. But today. It really sucked!“

“I'm surprised it's still around“

“They used a heart-shaped rainbow sticker to attach a receipt to some old man's bag and he had an absolute epic meltdown on facebook. 5 out of 5 stars. Keep up the good work.“

“Delicioso! Delicious! 🤤 Sabor a Perú was amazing! My family and I were doing an errand in the Covina area and I decided to Google some Peruvian food options and came across Sabor a Peru. It was an excellent choice. The food is just sooooo good! Delicious made from scratch & the portions are generous. The pricing is also what I consider good. Every single dish we order was amazing but I’m in absolute love with the Tallarin Verde de Pollo & the Lucuma Ice Cream. But again everything was amazing. Thank you Sabor a Perú.“

“I don't know why it took me so long to come to this place. The pizza is excellent. We got their signature pizza. The ingredients are very fresh and has a soft crispy crust. They have a full menu a goodpizza place would have. This is the original Red Devil. All the others are not affiliated.“

“This place is like Subway, but with pizza instead of sandwiches (and much fresher ingredients). They have a menu of pizzas, but you can customize all of your toppings as you watch a staff member put it together for you every step of the way - from saucing to firing it up in the pizza oven so it comes out fast and hot. The crust is consistently perfect (thin and crispy), there are a ton of fresh, quality ingredient options, and the flavors are amazing. This is a place I have frequented for years and I can honestly say that I have never had a pizza I didn't like. I've tried a handful of them, but my go-to is the green pie (pesto basil sauce, mozzarella, feta, zucchini, eggplant, artichoke hearts & fresh tomatoes). My husband does not like vegetables too much, but even he has learned to let them make it as-is, without customizing it, because it is SO GOOD! The chicken wings are juicy, meaty, and delicious. The salads and Mediterranean plates are great as well (chicken/beef kabob, falafel or chicken shawarma served with rice, salad, hummus, pita bread, and garlic sauce). There is even a dessert counter where you can usually find an assortment of treats like macarons, Dubai chocolate bars, and Baklava. They also serve beer (bottled and on tap).

Aside from the great food, the place has a great ambience with a large & spacious indoor dining area as well as a large shaded patio area in the front (facing bustling Citrus Ave), big screen TVs, and even a little game machine for the kids. They do a great job of keeping it all nice and clean. A small touch I really appreciate is that they conveniently keep extra plates, silverware, condiments, and to-go boxes out in the front so you can use as much as you need without having to ask for them.

On top of all that, it's in a prime location in downtown Covina so there is plenty to do if you have some time to walk around. Great for families and casual date nights.

This place hits every.single.time.“

“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!“

“this place is bomb.!! and the service is incredible..“

“My favorite brunch spot. I regularly drive here from Pico Rivera just to have their coffee lol. BEST cafe de olla I’ve had from a restaurant. Super friendly and attentive staff and amazing food. My favorite dish is their chilaquiles and adding chorizo, eggs and avocado. Sooo good. Parking is sometimes hard to find only bc this spot is so popular on weekends but there is street parking as well.“
