28 Best Mexican Restaurants in West Covina

“🔥 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.

“Great food, friendly people
My favorite is a Green Wet Burrito. You won't be disappointed. You can also sit inside & watch TV. The man at the ft counter was very very nice always smiling. Everytime I come in there he has a smile & ready to help!“

“Not recommended FOR BREAKFAST BURRITO‼️ Very disappointed this Morning 01/18/24 with this chorizo burrito 🤦🏻‍♀️🤨 I ask no cheese but is not well done cooked on top of that if they add beans will be more saggy burrito 😝 bad quality chorizo too many hard parts not eatable like tendons type I pointed with arrow/ my only $11 wasted should be my breakfast and lunch there 😔- I’m tired of American breakfast sandwiches/ bad choice today 😖“

“MUCHAS GRACIAS ☺️ X SU ATENCIÓN LA COMIDA EXCELENTE 👍comida al momento y súper deliciosa ♥️😘😘😘“

“This place is a hidden jewel. I never had a menudo like this. In my older years I seem to levitate more and more to menudo. But when you get handmade tortillas with it, omg that makes the experience 1000 times better. This place is so good I want to bring my suegra here. They have othef options but really for a Saturday morning, there is nothing better. Please support this business and pass it along to those who love good food.“

“real life street tacos“

“G's Taco Spot on Wheels great food great customer service and great tasting food great price. At the West Covina Mall 2nd floor food Court.“

“Came on a Tuesday afternoon.

Ordered a breakfast burrito with birria and it was amazing. The chips that came with it was nice, the salsa was tasty and spicy, and the burrito was packed.

Overall would come again.“

“Perfect first stop in Santa Fé for dinner. It ended up being the celebration of Zozobra, so the restaurant was not crowded. Good margarita options, both tequila and mescal, that were tasty. The guacamole table-side was a nice addition to our Christmas-style enchiladas. The meals were fresh, delicious and generous portions including rice and delicious beans. Overall a great evening and would go again.“

“Trusted spot for some amazing tacos, burritos and whatever else they make because the flavor is magical! Don't miss out, dine in or take out; you'll be happy you did. If you can handle hot spicy, try the red sauce. It's some if the best around. I got some cabeza to make it a great day!“

“have been to Rero's Burrito Company several times, often for large take out orders. The food and service is excellent. I highly recommend this place. In particular, I recommend the breakfast burritos with shredded chicken WET with green sauce, I also like the esquites.“

“Todo Es perfecto precio ,calidad , rapidez y amabilidad“

“Great shrimp tacos. Hardshell tacos beef and potatoes were great also. They used cabbage instead of lettuce. That was a bit different for us, but it turns out to be very good. Their salsas are nice and hot. The only thing when looking for a new spot to eat online is that's how I found Bukanas..the online prices are not correct. I would still go back. So check it..“

“A friend brought me here once for the first time and heard that I was about to order tacos. He pulls me to the side and says “foo I didn’t bring you to King torta for tacos, you get a torta” and my boy was right. Asada torta with a side of guacamole 🔥🔥🔥“

“I enjoy the menudo, it's really good, clean & fresh. The Mexican style breakfast are yummy as well. I had the red chili chilaquillas! I gave it 4 stars because their service is a bit slow & I think they need to be more aware of customer's needs (e.g. Refills, napkins etc,.).“

“Riquisimo me encanta el pollo loco“

“This pollo loco is putting out great food. Some pollo loco's are hit & miss, you might get dry chicken, not here. It definitely has to do with the staffs experience. They cook well and quality of food is great. Please keep them all. Every staff member here is happy, friendly and professional at the same time.“

“This place is the spot! Has great food and great customer service.“

“this place never disappoints. the food is amazing and great service“

“Kid-friendly menu! I recommend the chicken bowl!“

“The food was really good was delicious thanks everyone.“

“Stopped by this Taco Bell on Azusa Ave, and honestly, it’s one of the better locations I’ve been to. The staff here are polite and quick — my order was ready in just a few minutes, even though it was pretty busy. The food was fresh, warm, and perfectly made — tacos were crispy, and the burritos were nicely filled.

Prices are still super affordable, especially for how clean and well-kept this place is. The dining area looked tidy, and the drive-thru line moved faster than expected. Overall, great service, good food, and solid value for the money. Definitely one of the best Taco Bells in the area!“

“Taco Tuesday was great. .... Very friendly and helpful. .... I love the food tried the shrimp tacos. Next Tuesday fish tacos......“

“Chipotle is always a reliable pick! Love how customizable everything is — you can build your bowl or burrito exactly how you want it. The chicken and steak are always well seasoned, and the guac (even with the upcharge) is 100% worth it. Portions are generous and it never feels overpriced for how much food you get.

Service is usually quick even during the lunch rush, and the ingredients always taste fresh. Definitely one of my favorite fast-casual spots when I want something filling but not too heavy“

“This is the only Del Taco in the area, that has it all, great customer service, cleanliness, and food taste great. The portion size are good too, unlike other restaurants, the food is fresh. Since I tried their carnitas specials, (which were also perfectly made) I am repeat customer 5xs a week. Lol There is one female cook in the night shift who I noticed cooks very good. And there is a young man who always has a great attitude, very pleasant and joyful, makes the experience the drive thru experience great“
