    Chile Relleno plate
    Leanne V.

    I hadn't been to this restaurant in years and recently remembered about it after seeing it on Instagram. The service is really great the staff is very friendly. I ordered the pina agua fresca and it was delicious! I also ordered the Chile relleno plate. The chile relleno was delicious. I was a little disappointed that the plate didn't come with rice, and instead came with salad aside from the beans. Beans were ok. Overall a great experience. Restroom was very clean. I definitely recommend this little gem in Covina.

    This is mecican restaurant kinda a hidden gem. give driven past it many many times, not noticing it. I was recently invited to this restaurant for Sunday brunch. They offer champagne flights (three for $23) and terrific Mexican entrees. They have a pretty extensive menu. I tried their Menudo. The menudo was very tasteful, came with all the usually accompanying oregano, cilantro, lemon. My only dislike was the menudo was a dark color. I'm used to a light colored tripe, otherwise it was good. I akso ordered a side shredded beef taco which was amazingly perfect and fresh. My sister in law had the machaca breakfast, which she loved, and ate it all !!! Chips n salsa were also very good and served fresh. The customer service, once i was sat was exceptional. They quickly took our order, brought our drinks n food, and did not ignore. The staff kept checking to.make sure we were happy and if we needed anything. I will definitely visit again !

    Delicious food, great friendly service, and really nice decor! Lots of great vegan and vegetarian options as well.

    New promotion!

    It gets better and better everything, we go. And I just love the employees and the new menu items!!! Had the albondigas tonight and the walnut champurrado and I'm officially in love!!!

    Blended margarita
    Monica M.

    This place has always been a mainstay for me as far back as the 90's. It's an oldie but goodie with consistent flavors and service! For the last several Sundays I've door dashed their menudo and cafe de olla - always *chefs kiss* the best for a Sunday breakfast. Today we dined in - for the first time in awhile - and it was like coming home. The restaurant is festive with lots to look at and homage to cultura from floor to ceiling, left to right. I had a blended margarita and the enchiladas suizas - all well done, flavorful, and good! Past dishes I've had include the molcajete which was always piping hot, flavorful, and complimented by hand made tortillas. Service was excellent. I felt well taken care of and got to visit with the owner Lilly for some table side chit chat. We will definitely be back in person!

    Terrible customer service skills

    I had a very disappointing experience. I asked if my meal would be spicy and was told it was not, but when it arrived it was too spicy for me to eat. When I politely mentioned this, the server repeatedly insisted it was not spicy. I simply wanted to move on and leave. Additionally, I ordered a kids' meal that included a soda per the menu. The soda was flat, so I requested water instead, yet I was still charged for the soda. When I asked about the charge, the server told me "You know what? You need to leave. Just go." with a nasty stank face and attitude. I remained polite throughout, especially with my children present. As someone with restaurant experience, I understand issues happen, but the server's response felt unprofessional and made us feel unwelcome.

    The oregano and chili powder came in.

    Heard good things about this place so we decided to check them out. We ordered a menudo on Sunday. It was watered down and the condiments they sent them in small ziplocks that I didn't feel comfortable eating them. The cup had more water down soup than the meat and hominy. We ended up getting sick from it. It was pricey to be honest. The employees do need more training . Sorry to say won't be coming here or recommending it to anyone.

    Mujarra Frita
    Joannie T.

    Had the tamarind mojito, so tasty! I had Mojarra Frita, it was a large fish and very tasty also. Salsas were authentic, homemade tortillas. It was a very authentic family run restaurant. The family was very sweet and very appt that we can came in. Everyone should come and taste their food and feel their hospitality.

    Mojarra Frita
    Alex B.

    From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us warmly, making it clear they genuinely care about their guests. I ordered the Mojarra Frita, and it did not disappoint--it was perfectly crispy, served piping hot, and generously meaty. An absolutely delicious dish. I'll definitely be returning for another great meal!

    Great food. Excellent place for party. Excellent service. On July 12, we had a surprise birthday party for my dad.
    Helen P.

    A surprise not yet birthday party for my dad. Excellent service excellent food. I highly recommend this restaurant for everybody. This was my father's favorite restaurant.

    House sangria
    Joshua B.

    Ordered the flautas with chicken and the house sangria. Cleaned the plate as it was a solid offering. Beans, rice, undressed salad (I mixed it in with the beans and rice), small cup of guac, and two flautas. No frills, but that's not what I eat for. Everyone here has been super friendly (even after I clumsily knocked over my sangria)! Only the second time coming, but we definitely plan on returning.

    Arrachera Mi Rancho Grilled Arrachera
    Lorena C.

    This was my first time coming and it did not disappoint. Food was so good! It was the best carne asada that I've had. Very cute place and you can tell this is family owned. Very cute server, she was so nice and friendly. I definitely need to go back and try more.

Why should she have to pay for a second plate to be re-fired because the first plate should've been correct.! I will never come here again because the lack of common courtesy and respect was not given to this lady by your server and the manager shame on you..! You need to wake-up and take care of your customers, and serve the food as ordered. Shame on you. I will NOT return.!

Thankfully we were able to detour from Anaheim on our way to LAX. Special shout out to the dedicated staff who graciously accommodated us and allowed us to sneak in a bit early in order to fulfill our cravings and still make our flight on time. I grew up going to Casa Moreno since the original spot in 1995, you can say it's home for me. My kids have therefore grown up visiting it every chance we get when visiting our family in the area. We generally all share and pass our plates around in true family style because we can never decide which all-star traditional plates to order. This time, the kid's quesadilla, 3 Amigos, Steak Fajitas, Chicken Flautas and Machaca made the cut. The look on my son's face when the sizzling platter was headed his way was just as magical as seeing him hug Chip and Dale. Every single bite warmed our hearts and filled our homemade food starved bodies. Casa Moreno is undeniably the greatest Mexican food that Los Angeles has had to offer for over 30 years. Their traditions span throughout three generations and the second you crunch those warm chips covered in their "Chilanga" salsa, you'll be hooked. The best part is that my local family is always there and pleased to come sit with us. We are all unfortunately spread apart across the country but Casa Moreno will always be the place that brings us together. Our shared experiences and memories there always make it HOME. Thank you Casa Moreno for all the sacrifices and hard work to stay around this long, it is very much appreciated by this LA girl living in Hawai'i.

Called in my order and it was smooth and easy. This place is CASH ONLY and they have an ATM inside if needed. Arrived and the cashier was friendly and easy transaction. Received my burrito in no time and I devoured it as soon as I got back to work. The meat was tender and not dry. HATE it when it's dry and tough. Seemed like they gave a little too much chile verde sauce but I think I'd rather have too much than too little. It was not the best wet burrito I've had but it's definitely delicious and I would have it again without any hesitation. The restaurant was clean and there were plenty of tables for guests.

Typically, El Picosito formulates their burritos w/ the protein of your choice, beans/rice, cheese, onions/cilantro and hot sauce- I made only one change, pivoting from the hot sauce to sour cream. My burrito was good sized, filling and quite toothsome, a rib-sticking, finger-licking meal. While I canmot affirm if they're "a lil bit spicy," they are a lotta bit tasty.
