“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 .😞“

“this is, hands down, some of the most interesting and delicious fusion food you’ll try. Anything they put together is thoughtful, layered and full of nuance. get the sauce sampler packs; and try everything on the menu; but the birria is to die for.

It’s so affordable, too; honestly if I could eat here every day, I would.“

Best part of El Camino is the love of God in this place!! Thank you El Camino family for everything!“

“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.“

“10/10 we are from Arizona and stop by this place any time we are in town. It’s amazing. The food is as authentic as it gets and absolutely delicious. Make sure you try the horchata too! Staff is super friendly, and on top of it. Amanda, thank you for making our experience so enjoyable. Environment is top notch, love the music. If you’re ever craving some authentic tacos or Mexican food in general please give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed.“

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

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

“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.“

“Deliciousness! Very good portion and reasonable price! Staffs are nice!“

“great meal and very Pleasant service..“

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

“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.“

“food is delicious. 😊😊😊😋😋😋😃😃😃“

“Came here for lunch with a friend. Great service. Enjoyed the handmade tortillas (corn), tamales, and barbacoa. Very very yum. FYI there is a 4% service charge (nbd, imo). Try the Pozol de Cacoa (it's somewhere in between horchata and champurado).“

“Excellent food and service“

“🔥 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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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 enjoyed the chili verde plate with a melon margarita very much. I use to go to the owners other restaurant Carumba's in Alhambra for over 40 years until it closed. So glad to have found their other restaurant, even if I have to drive a lot farther, it's worth it.“

“Best place to go, when hunger hits. Good price good taste“

“By far the best food from a food truck I’ve ever had. This is my go to and staff already know my order when I walk up. Staff is also amazing and genuinely want you to have a great experience. My favorite dining in the area for sure.“

“it was bomb food and service was great.“

“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.“

“what i like about Cabreras 1st the awesome service. 2nd the best mexican food that is made with love. and what makes so good is the great music they have it's like eating at home which makes feel like your with family. keep up the great family feeling. oh and when I asked for something that's not on the menu you make it just like eating at home..“

“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.“

“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.“

“Super friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. The chicken was crispy and juicy. Salsas are definitely worth a try! Food was served straight to our table within 5-10 minutes after ordering. The staff was so helpful in picking out deals and coupons. I highly recommend this place. The prices are low, and just a great establishment overall.“

“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“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“When you visiting the area stop by for amazing tacos, we had the tripa, asada, cabeza tacos, pastor quesadilla and sincronizada, everything was delicious, the staff were very friendly, they are from Oaxaca and Veracruz means the taste is real Mexican style. They are parked on the street and the park area is safe.“

“Good food & good margaritas too!!“

“Probably the best little hidden gem in this area. It's got a big quiet parking lot. The place is completely unassuming from the outside.
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.“
