“Some of the best food you will eat. Service is great.“

“My favorite taco place! I used to frequent here when my office is close by. I still make the drive here to get their tacos and burrito and ceviche because I, or my kids, have the cravings. I've been getting their catering trays for company events and it's always a hit. ?“

“I love all their food , and its always busy so today i called to place order that way i could just pick up. I called about 5-6 times nobody answered , the last called i made i was in the corner of la Bufadora , when i came inside place was empty maybe two tables were taken at the most and one person waiting for an order . I asked the cashier, Alejandro if the phone was working and he said they didn’t answer because they were very busy .. Yes they were busy but talking among each other with the cooks when i got there . Nobody in line .😞“

“The food here is so delicious and authentic. Tastes like it came out of one of your tias / tios kitchen! Staff is very attentive. You can see the members working together as a team to serve the customers with the best service. I suggest you come try this place out. The fish tacos is what I ordered and they were absolutely amazing. Thank you Taco Nazo in Walnut, CA!“

“Albondigas were great! Service was good considering it was Mother’s Day.“

“I was told about this place from an out of town coworker that has relatives near by. The owner/cook was very hospitable and everything was surprisingly low priced. Tacos were very tasty and well balanced. I would go back definitely. The only thing I didn’t really like was the parking lot cause its entrance is very close to a busy blvd with fast traffic. You have to exit very carefully. I recommend either parking in the back, side street or back in.“

I've had burritos, tacos and sándwiches from this place and everything I've ever picked up from here has been A+. If you're near, you should definitely stop by.“

“Wow! I was in search of a tasty Mexican restaurant to cater or pick up, to feed 15 volunteers. The manager and staff were very friendly and helpful. Our volunteers LOVED the food. We will be using Chiquita Bonita for future“

“🔥 Two Chiles Rellenos — El Pilon Market & Restaurant 🔥
📍 322 S Glendora Ave, West Covina, CA 91790

Originally $10.95 — now $15.95 — and still absolutely worth going back.

This plate ranks in the Top Ten Chiles Rellenos I’ve experienced across the entire country.
From New Orleans, Louisiana to Biloxi, Mississippi,
from Erie, Pennsylvania to Washington D.C.,
Bar Harbor, Maine to NYC,
Madison, Wisconsin to St. Paul, Minnesota,
Bismarck, North Dakota to Denver, Colorado,
Santa Fe, New Mexico to Phoenix, Arizona,
Las Vegas, Nevada to Pasadena and Covina, California —

I’ve walked the map and tasted many, but this one stands out.

Perfectly battered, generously filled, flavorful without being greasy. The texture, temperature, and seasoning were exactly right. The rice and beans were fresh and authentic Corn Tortillas FRESHLY MADE— NO SHORTCUTS.

This wasn’t just a meal — it was a moment along my Sovereign Person Pathway. A side journey of spirit, hunger, memory, and meaning. The kind of food that finds you right where you are and reminds you of where you’ve been.
El Pilon is a gem. Whether you’re local or walking your own journey across America — this stop is flame-worthy. Don’t miss it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“As a local business owner, I love supporting other local businesses, and Tizoc in Baldwin Park is one of our favorites. At Williz Automotive we order from them often and they never disappoint. We love their tortas, menudo, burritos, chile rellenos, and red chilaquiles. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistent. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“So happy I found this place. Food is amazing“

“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.“

“This place has a huge variety of Mexican drinks and desserts.
There were so many options on the menu that it took me a while to decide what to get.

Horchata was pretty good and easy to drink. Tornado wasn’t really my favorite.
We ordered several different drinks and everything was pretty good.

There are so many options on the menu that it’s a fun place to come with friends and try different things.“

“Quick and friendly service! Every bite of food was like the first! Wonderful Cadilllac Margarita!“

“I have been going for about 4 years really recommend delicious food 🥘 love it 🥰“

“I needed goat. I got goat and handmade tortillas. The food was tasty. The portions were big. I love the free crispy chips and savory salsa. The tamarindo drink was definitely the best I've ever had. Cute decor. Its like taking a trip to an authentic Mexican eatery, but no need to pay air fair. The staff was so very welcoming. I'll be back to get my goat birrieria fix.“

“The food here is great, homemade food made with love they have the best beans/refried ,and the best Carne asada.I have ever eaten...coldest beer in town...but what sets this place apart is the family that owns it...because that's how you Are treated like family👍 REALLY GOOD PEOPLE“

“it was bomb food and service was great.“

“Muy satisfecho con la atención para ser mi primera vez en ese lugar muy rico o comida y todo excelente Muchas felicidades a todos“

“Great food and friendly service!“

“Great tacos of all kind & affordable. Fish tacos, potatoe tacos, carne asada tacos, & more Mexican dishes. It's a small place with only a few tables. But it's mainly a take home food place. They have special either Wednesdays or Thursday & it's 2 for one. They select which tacos will be on special. Customer service has always been kind friendly people.“

“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 😍“

“Best tacos and burritos in Southern California. Maybe even in the entire state. And believe me...I drive everywhere in So Cal and have tried thousands of Mexican restaurants.“

“great meal and very Pleasant service..“

“Absolutely recommend this place! The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the service was excellent. I had the chile relleno chimichanga, and my son got the chicken and cheese enchiladas. Both were really good, and the horchata was *the good kind*. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and nicely presented, and the staff made us feel welcome. Great food, great service, and a great overall experience. We’ll definitely be back! 🌮😋“

“Came here on a whim with my daughter. So glad we did. Food is amazing staff is great. Medudo was so good. Reminds me of eating at my grandma's table. My daughter loved her asada burrito too. The aguas frescas are soo good they are full of flavor and not watered down like other places I've been to. This place definately does not disappoint. Cute little restaurant. Definitely recommend 100%. As a Mexican I am very picky and find it hard to find good mexican food while I am out and about. Will definitely come back and bring others with me.“

“If you have not had the chance to dine in at Girasol, I highly recommend it. The chicharon with guac is a must as a starter, make sure you get some of the spicy sauce. As for a recommendation for a meal, well you have to come in and try. We loved the chilaquiles, the carne en su juego, the menudo, and the breakfast burrito. If you have a sweeter taste, the French toast, the pancakes and the crepe are awesome. But as mentioned before, you just have to come in and try everything.“

“Grew up my whole life coming to this restaurant, it’s the only Mexican food I’ll eat in the states. The absolute sweetest employees and the best food if you give it a chance. If you don’t like one thing, be open to try more :) I love you Abuelita, Abuelito, Samie, and Frankie!“

“This is a small place that feels like you're eating at your Abuelita's place. With authentic Mexican food and drinks. They make the cafe de olla in the clay pot. They even tweaked a meal for me to be the way I like it. I have been a few times and haven't been disappointed. Give them a try.“

“Muy buenas caguamas de micheladas y las carnitas nose digan“

“Un lugar donde se come delicioso, un ambiente super agradable y el servicio esepcional,“

“Excellent food and service“

“The food here is like Grandma used to make. Delicious“

“Real deal. My new favorite Mexican restaurant.“

“Very comfortable place to be in. Everyone was relaxed and you could hear the staff in the kitchen communicating getting the orders out. They have good lighting, a larger modern menu board with a great selection. They had light hearted music playing and a big tv to watch the Dodger games. I was surprised to see Birria on the menu so had to get that for sure! I think I will may this my goto spot a couple days a week so I can eat better for less and no dishes to wash.“

“I noticed a co workers take out tacos so I asked where they were from. Best tacos EVER. So much meat instead of all lettuce like everywhere else. Prices are extremely reasonable. They were so good that my last bite dropped on my white shirt!“

“Enjoyed our brunch of delicious menudo con pata, coffee and a pan dulce to end our meal. The pan dulce was so fresh! The service was quick just right for our appetite. 👌🏼“
