“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 .😞“

“So surprised...it's an Amazing Burger wow thank you I'm from Iowa and I had no idea where to eat, but I wanted to have a burger and this bacon mushroom Swiss burger was just delicious and huge“

“I'm here just about every other weekend to get takeout for the family. The Indian flavors really come through in an exciting way. The rotisserie chicken is one of the best I've found in LA, and it's not even the best chicken on the menu. Anything with beans are a must-have.“

“Best shrimp tacos in the world, by far. Have them with the grilled chiles.“

“great service, great grilled chicken👍 maria from Palm springs😀“

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“Whenever we are in the area, we come to Rey’s for breakfast!! Good food and super friendly staff!!!“

“Real deal. My new favorite Mexican restaurant.“

“great meal and very Pleasant service..“

“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.“

“Best shrimp tacos in the world, by far. Have them with the grilled chiles.“

“Went with a good friend on mine and I had the chorizo and eggs which was amazing and they had nescafe coffee which no one has. It reminded me of my mom RIP. They also have an amazing cafe de la hoya which was also delicious. Highly recommend this spot.“

“Amazing birria tacos 😍🌮 came in at around 9pm and I also got a Cantarito. Soooo good. The consomé is also really good. The queso birria tacos are $3.50 & the consomé is $3. Really great price. The Cantarito was $15 but it was really good. I had it with Mezcal 🍹I took the food to go and even though I ate about an hour after I got them, they were still really good. No soggy tortillas 😆 overall 5/5 ⭐! Great service, too! Thank you so much! 🙏“

“Ordered a bowl of albondigas and the chile colorado plate. Holy cow! Shouldve ordered one or the other. I cant breathe now. The soup was amazing. Came out perfect temperature. Veggies were right between soft and crunchy. Meatballs were perfect. Really good bowl of soup for sure. Chile colorado plate was great as well. Full of flavor and beef was very tender. Rice and beans were perfect addition to smear on the flour tortillas. Good music and good ambiance. Staff are very polite and professional. My iced tea never got even down to half a glass. Chips and salsa were also good. Salsa had a bite but not too much. Chips had just the right amount of salt. Awesome experience here. Im gonna ask to load next door every week. Lol“

“Pozol de Cacao was Amazing drink, Plátanos con crema delicious, hand made tortillas every bite delicious, real authentic flavor Plate, Tamal de chipilin, chorizo with black beans all bomb. Hungry thinking about how good it was, i recommend this place 100%“

“¡Al fin! I’ve been looking for a raspado de nuez that’s as good as my favorite place in Northern California (Radpados Maxi). Y’all knocked it out of the park! Thank you soooo much! It’s delicious. And the service was top notch. I’ll for sure be back. A lot. :)“

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

“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.“

“We have been going to Baja Mar for many years. Tonight’s food was so phenomenal that it made me immediately want to let everyone else know. Our standard order is Fish burritos, nachos, and papas tacos. It is always very good, but tonight was out of this world. Wow! I will always suggest Baja Mar to anyone looking for the best Mexican food in LA. Keep up the great work, this is very very delicious food!“

“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.“

“🔥 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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“This is my cousin‘s restaurant, but even if it wasn’t, I still love love, love their food.This family knows how to cook! Handmade tortillas and sopes like they do in Mexico. Their beans are better than my mothers, but don’t tell her that lol I’m a big believer that if the beans aren’t good the rest of the food isn’t good so I always start with the beans!“

“Very nice and good service“

“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.“

“Good food & good margaritas too!!“
