    Super fries were awesome. Cheese was super gooey and stringy which I love the spice level was perfect no complaints just wish it was cheaper but everything's expensive now. A super fry and a torta was almost 40 bucks.

    $12 per Torta, worth it.

    TORTAS MUY RICAS! This place needs to be discovered. The bread is super good, very generous serving of meat. The premises are very clean and new.

    I've been here about 3xs now and I have to say pretty impressed and I say that just because the meat marination is delicious . Whenever I get asada it's literally just straight up beef no marination whatsoever or really greasy but asada here is delicious, flavorful, no greasy or oily taste . It's also not dry either .I tried their asada torts which was about $13, super fries which I got twice now has been consistent which is about $18? I would say a little pricey. It always seems empty when I order but it looks as if people tend it take it to go rather than dine in. Toppings are always fresh looking which I appreciate because I feel sad when I get wilted veggies or brown avocado . for the super fries though there is no onion or cilantro and you would have to ask for it if u want it. I don't think they charge for it but I think it's delicious when there is onions & cilantro. The fixes ya know?

    This place is legendary for their tortas

    I've been craving a torta and was in the area so decided to stop in. When I first found out this place was coming to West Co I was so excited! I had gone to the one in Los Angeles when I worked out there from time to time and recalled good experience and great tasting tortas. This location is just across the street from the newer Haven City Market in West Covina. When it comes to the food it's good but wouldn't say amazing. I got the carnitas torta and my son got the carne asada fries. The torta was about $11 some thing and it was ok. Kind of wish I'd have gone with Al pastor or asada. I had the last few bites of my sons asada super fries and would say those were a little better. Although they should be for $16+. As far as the torta goes to be honest id say for the money next time I crave a torta I'm going to El Bukanas. Much better bang for your buck there. I also recall at the one in LA they had a "King Torta" - huge plate size one - but didn't see it on the menu. Maybe it's an off the menu option. The size of the standard one was about the size of a bulillo - average bulillo. It came with carnitas(your protein option) shredded lettuce, beans, avocado, onions, and cilantro. This place is super sanitary and clean. I feel like when I came here before the pandemic they had a salsa station etc. now they are behind plexiglass and can only get salsa at the counter. I had the green salsa - my go to. It was good but came in super small but cute containers. They are located with a small/medium size parking lot at Glendora/Vine. If you are headed North on Glendora or West on Vine you can get in the lot easier otherwise a u turn is needed. The service was good and there wasn't much customer traffic on a early Saturday afternoon- 2 groups and us - take out. We got our food relatively fast!

    Super fries no meat with cilantro and onions added

    I absolutely love their super fries, they have some of the best fries, I love the fresh cheese! The only downside is the price $17 with tax. My son and I used to come here at least three times a week until they went up on their prices. Their potato tacos are really good as well! So I would give 5 stars for how good the food is but 3 stars for the prices

    It has been a long time since I have had king torta. I loved the chicken and Al pastor tacos and I appreciate that they added cabbage and quac on them. Wasn't a huge fan of the carnitas. Next time, I'll probably opt the Chile verde burritos, it was always tasty from what I remember. It was dead quiet when I visited, basic interior, but all the tables appeared to have been cleaned. Staff was not overly friendly, but they got my order out promptly and correctly.

    First time visitor and it will not be my last. Corner location makes this a very easy restaurant to locate. Be warned that the parking lot is extremely small. Perhaps six cars max. I was forced to park on the street which was no big deal whatsoever. The restaurant is small but a decent size with perhaps ten booths. It is very clean and organized. The menu board is clearly visible behind the counter and there is protective glass across the entire length of the counter. The young lady who took my order my very nice, friendly and knowledgeable when I asked her a couple of questions about the ingredients in several items. After placing my order, I sat in a booth for five to seven minutes when my number was called announcing that my order was ready for pickup. Wow! That was quick. Food presentation was great and the taste of each food item was FANTASTIC! I tried a little a sample of each item shown in the attached photos and I was extremely happy and satisfied with the taste, freshness and preparation of every ingredient. The avocado/guacamole fries were DELICIOUS! I had never tried such a combo and it was PERFECT! The chicken burrito was cooked and prepared perfectly, the nopales taco was a also a first for me and i instantly became a fan, the vegetarian torta was tasty, fresh and sooooo good! The horchata was so refreshing on a hot day. This was definitely a great dining experience.

    Special Request Chicken Taco "Amazing"
    Dar C.

    Always great, my favorite is a special request... Chicken Tacos with guacamole, sour cream and cheese... OMG when I say delicious, I'm not joking! Best Chicken Tacos around! Their Chicken Torta is really good too. I'm only giving 4 stars because my Husband always orders the the California Burrito but in my opinion, it's always way too greasy! Very clean establishment, fast service and friendly yet polite staff.

    I grew up in El Sereno and would always go to the original! I moved out to OC and rarely have a chance a to even get out to El Sereno to get a torta and super nachos so I was real sad until I found out there was a second one by my moms place! Now we go as often as we want and the food is always on point! Staff is nice, they got good AC, and they food is delicious just like I remembered it as a kid!

    Hard shell taco
    Robin I.

    King taco versus king torta...who will win? I've driven by this place a lot for lunch and decided to try it. Decent parking and there was no other customer. Ordered a few hard shell tacos and to my pleasant surprise they were delicious. The meat was cooked where it was slightly crispy and they had some spicy guacamole that packed good flavor in the taco. They're not too big but are tasty. Another pleasant surprise was their hot sauce. Comparable to the red sauce at King Taco the smoky heat tasted great! Overall a good place to grab some tacos if I'm the area!

    Yep. That's the slice of avocado

    Mother's Day Dining Experience ​To the Management Team,…read more​I am writing to share my recent experience at your establishment this past Mother's Day. As a long-time fan of your restaurant, this was one of my favorite places to dine; however, my experience during this visit was deeply disappointing due to a lack of communication and poor service standards. ​My primary concerns are as follows: ​Limited Menu Communication: Upon arriving, I was disappointed to find a restricted holiday menu that did not include the dishes I had specifically come for. While I understand the need for a limited menu on busy holidays, this should have been communicated to guests waiting outside. Waiting an hour to be seated only to realize the items I craved were unavailable was a significant letdown. ​Inattentive Service: Despite the restaurant not appearing to be at full capacity, the service was lacking. My father's meal arrived significantly later than the rest of the table's, and basic needs--such as coffee refills for my mother and water for the table--were never addressed. No one checked in to see if we were satisfied with our meal at any point. ​Gratuity Policy: Regarding the 18% gratuity for parties of six or more, I completely respect the policy in principle. However, when the service does not meet basic expectations, being told I must pay a specific dollar amount--in this case, $40--feels intrusive. I am someone who genuinely enjoys leaving generous tips in cash to reward good service; being forced to pay a set amount for a subpar experience felt less like a gratuity and more like an unjustified surcharge. ​I believe your establishment is capable of much better. I hope you take this feedback into account to ensure future holiday guests receive the transparency and quality of service that originally made me a loyal customer.

We were sad to not see any cocktails yet, hopefully mimosas coming soon. I tried the horchata and the signature chilaquiles. Everything was great, fresh ingredients. Good food and good company!

    My husband and I moved to the area about 5 years ago. When driving by we saw a sign that said,…read more"Best margaritas in town". I was like "Oh I'll be the judge of that!" OMG they showed up and showed out! Their Cadillac and mango margaritas are my favorite. Seriously the best margaritas in town. Now for the food, just as good as the margaritas! I love their enchiladas and shredded beef tacos (they don't skimp on the cheese ) I've never had a bad dish. The service is amazing! The staff have become like family and it happened pretty early on. There is a huuuge local following for Amor Indio. I've met so many people from my community and it's so nice to see the same faces in a Friday night.

The service was very good, as all staff we interacted with were friendly and the drinks and food came out quickly, but the food was only okay. FOOD & DRINKS: We received a complimentary basket of chips and salsa. I love a smooth salsa and this one was delicious. We started with a couple small Margaritas ($7 ea.), one on the rocks and the other blended. Tasty and strong! For lunch we tried the Camaron Mojo Ajo ($22.50) and the Enchiladas Suizas ($21.25). The shrimp in garlic sauce was tasty, but the enchiladas were covered with grated Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses, which was not what I was expecting. In Mexico City, they serve them with a melted Oaxaca, Manchego, and Mozzarella cheeses. Now, I did look at several online recipes, and many called for Monterey Jack, but to me the flavor wasn't the same. The shredded chicken could have used a little more seasoning. Also, I ordered a second small Margarita but was charged for a double ($15). It did seem like twice the tequila, but in the small glass, it was super strong! Overall, I wasn't super impressed, but I would be willing to give them one more try.
