36 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants El Monte

“Everyone so nice to us. Really enjoyed the restaurant and its employees“

“This is great comfort food like Mom would make. The tortillas are awesome and the birria is juicy and tender! Highly recommend.“

“the restaurant is super clean. If you show up thinking you're going to order Orange chicken, Broccoli beef, kung pao chicken or any of that chinese fast food then this is not the place for you. BUT if you're looking for some delicious mouth watering dumplings cooked in various forms then you're at the CORRECT place. I brought my mom here and we tried the pork chive regular dumplings, the pan fried beef and cumin dumplings and the regular fried rice. All of it was delicious. Also they give you a complimentary bowl of egg drop corn soup. NOT a small bowl but a good size portion, it was GOOOOOD. I will definitely be back with the rest of the family and I want to try the beef noodle soup. DON'T fall asleep on the fried rice.“

“Came in for lunch with a couple friends and had a pretty good experience overall. The dim sum selection was larger than I expected, and most of the dishes arrived hot and fresh. The shrimp dumplings were probably my favorite, while a few of the buns were just okay. Service was friendly, though it got a little slow once the place filled up. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and felt clean and welcoming. Prices seemed fair for the amount of food we ordered. I'd definitely come back to try some of the items I missed this time around.“

“Love this place love the meets they host the drinks are really good and so is the tofu“

“it was bomb food and service was great.“

“Cute place with inside seating. Salmon bowl came with good size portion of salmon, cucumbers, tomato and spinach on a bed of brown rice. oh, and nicely spiced secret sauce. I definitely recommend and will be coming back to try some breakfast options.“

“The bolo bao ice cream sandwich was the bomb! I had it with ube ice cream. The garlic fries - lots of fresh garlic with a side of bomb lemon aoili and house sauce! The best! Passionfruit green tea was perfect for the hot weather! So cute inside too! It's a smaller space and a one man show. Everything is made fresh so please be patient - it's worth the wait! Great service! It's a hidden gem to the right of BofA in the plaza. — at CrispyandFluffed.“

“The moment the lady brought my tacos to the table, I got butterflies. The handmade tortillas and beautiful garnishes looked so appetizing, and the flavors were just as good as they looked.

The prices are great, and the whole experience felt authentic and welcoming. This is definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to whenever they’re open and I’m in the area.“

“The food and the service were amazing!!!“

“I recently visited a coffee shop that offered a wonderful experience with its relaxing atmosphere, delicious drinks, and excellent customer service. As soon as I walked in, the comforting smell of freshly brewed coffee created a warm and inviting feeling. The shop had a modern yet cozy interior with soft lighting, comfortable seating, and calming background music that made it an ideal place to relax, study, or meet with friends. The menu featured a wide variety of beverages and snacks, including espresso drinks, cappuccinos, iced coffees, teas, pastries, and sandwiches. I ordered a vanilla latte along with a chocolate croissant, and both were outstanding. The coffee was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced in flavor, while the croissant was fresh, flaky, and delicious. The presentation of the food and drinks was simple but attractive, showing the care and quality put into every order. The customer service was one of the best parts of my visit. The staff members were polite, welcoming, and attentive to customers’ needs. They prepared orders quickly while maintaining a friendly attitude, even during busy hours. Their positive energy made the overall experience even more enjoyable. The coffee shop was also very clean and organized, including the seating area, counter, and restrooms. Free Wi-Fi and charging outlets near the tables added convenience for customers who wanted to work or spend extra time there. Overall, this coffee shop provided an excellent experience with high-quality coffee, tasty snacks, and a comfortable environment. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable place to enjoy coffee and relax.“

“Love the food!“

“Very good place to get your Peruvian food fix. The menu is pretty diverse. We got the classic lomo saltado and tried the ceviche de pescado. They first gave us bread that was garlic bread surprisingly with the aji sauce. It was delicious and spicy and garlicky. The ceviche de pescado was excellent. It had that tangy citrus orange marinade with lime and with the nuts and corn nuts. The white fish was soft and cooked thoroughly and delicious. The lomo came out in huge portions that surprised me (basically two meals). The sauce and fries went well together with the onions rice and tomatoes. The meat was decent and it all went together well.

The table came in a lazy Susan style for family style sharing which is convenient. The waiter was very nice but not very attentive as we had to ask for water and check & boxes by intentionally getting their attention and walking to them for assistance. The decor is very chill and homely with a variety of music in the background. The whole place is very red and decorated with various Peruvian cultural references.

Prices are fairly reasonable for the portions you get.“

“People say this spot has some of the best fast food fried chicken. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their 4 piece meal with half fried and roasted chicken, beans, plantains, and tortillas. Yall know im a bean fiend and these beans were smooth, savory, and flavorful. The plantains were sweet, soft, caramalized, and a bit tart? Not really for me. The roasted chicken was super savory, flavorful, juicy, and actually really yummy. The fried chicken was perfectly crispity crunchy and just as flavorful and juicy. Pro tip is to make a taco using the corn tortilla with all the yummy ingredients. This place is actually pretty good.

4 pc meal $16.30 before tax“

“The food and the service were amazing!!!“

“Just a great family-owned shop. They’ve got some of the best donuts I have ever had. I am from San Francisco, and I can tell you, these donuts are better than any I have had in the city. Their sandwiches are a great size, especially for the price. $12 for a hot cup of coffee, huge sandwich with all the fixings, side of hot chilis and a large, perfectly fried glazed donut. I wish this family could have a location everywhere. Best of luck to their business!“

“Best customer service I can’t get through my day without my morning coffee from my favorite Starbucks in El Monte on Garvey they greet me by name first thing in the morning and always make my coffee just perfect“

“Very relaxing always the best place to enjoy friends the best 💚“

“I appreciate this place. It’s tricky to drive and park here so keep that in mind. The only way to enter the plaza is going north on Peck Road or east on Ramona. The staff here is overall very professional and wonderful. The quality of their drinks and bakery items is great too. I like their muffins, coffee, espresso and lavender latte. Look forward to trying more items.

Updated: Their strawberry matcha latte and horchata latte are amazing today, paired with their wonderful customer service. I look forward to trying their banana one some time. Their matcha horchata and strawberry mango Fresca are good too.

Note: for hot strawberry matcha latte, your milk options are oat milk or almond milk“

“I often take my friends to this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I visit this place often. This recommendation is always successful. The the food there is delicious and the team is attentive and cooperative. always when we visit this place we pass a splendid time. highly recommended.“

“I frequent this location and their service is always quick and friendly. I wanted to leave a 5-star review specifically for today's experience. I was there on May 27th around 8:30AM, and the staff working the drive thru speaker was an absolutely pleasure to speak to. He really went above and beyond.“

“Came in for quick lunch, carne asada burrito with green chile, food served quickly, healthy size burrito, hot and juicy, food servers have great personable attitude, friendly and professional, will return again soon, also horchata was cold and refreshing, Thanks!!“

“Todo esta muy sabroso todo esta echo al momento todo es fresco recomendado al 💯 %“

“People there are friendly , pizza are delicious very good price.. I highly recommend.“

“The beef pho wasn't as tasty as other places, though maybe because there was an event that day and they keep adding water to the broth or something. Not too much meat either. I'll come back to try other stuff on their menu like their sandwich and drinks. Decent amount of parking as it shares the plaza with other stores. Not much seating inside.“

“Bomber#1 in USA. May be the best around the world...“

“Good ambiance and good food.“

“They have the best Pupusas I’ve ever had. 😋“
