I keep wanting to sing Copacobana every time I see the name of this place. (Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl...) I digress. It was my first time here and I came here to treat my friend for a birthday brunch and we enjoyed our experience. When we arrived the restaurant was pretty full, but since we were only a party of two, there was one table in the corner available to us so we were seated immediately. Yay! Our server was friendly and gave great recommendations for drinks and entrees. My friend got the Thai Tea Cold brew and Salmon Belly Sisig, I ordered the ube cold brew and Iloko Moco with chicken adobo. We both enjoyed our meals. The Iloko Moco was shredded chicken on top of garlic rice with a gravy and two eggs sunny side up. Very flavorful and tasty, a bit on the saltier side, but overall a good dish. My food was served on a colorful plastic plate which felt a bit weird and gave it a cheap feel TBH. It was like eating off my kids' plastic Gerber dish that they used when they were babies. Yes I always want to feel and look young, but I don't want to feel like a toddler when I'm dining out.
I stopped in for lunch and was greeted warmly when I arrived. They had some music going, and there were many available tables. The decor is cute as well. My server was helpful and kind. I ordered the silog breakfast with the lechon kawali and an extra side of tocino. I also had the buko pandan milk tea. I was informed that the tocino was made in house as it looked different from what I'm used to. The silog breakfast was absolutely delicious as was the milk tea. The tocino was okay. I would definitely be happy to come back and enjoy more of their food.
My family had visited Lola's before and wanted me to give it a try, so we stopped by on a Monday for brunch/early lunch. We were seated quickly upon arrival. Menus are available via QR code at the table, though physical menus can also be requested. Service seemed a bit stretched, as there was only one gentleman handling seating, drinks, and orders, along with two kitchen staff members helping run food. Adobo Rice Omelet ($14.95): Garlic rice with chopped chicken adobo wrapped in a thin egg omelet, topped with adobo gravy, fried garlic, and scallions. The chicken was a little dry, and the gravy leaned saltier than I prefer. This isn't a dish I'd order again. Iloko Moco ($19.95): Country fried steak over garlic rice with two eggs, finished with adobo gravy, green onions, and fried garlic. This was definitely the standout dish for me. The chicken was crispy yet tender, and the thinly sliced Thai chilies offered on the side added a delicious kick. Ube Pancakes ($14.95): Two pancakes topped with ube sauce and garnished with shaved almonds, toasted coconut, and powdered sugar. The pancakes themselves were a bit chewy rather than fluffy, but the ube sauce was absolutely phenomenal and made the dish enjoyable overall. Lola's is located in the same plaza as Haven City Food Hall and GW Supermarket, with a shared parking lot for several businesses. Parking can get pretty crowded during peak hours and some spaces are on the tighter side.
This is a must try place. We ordered the pancakes flight. Ube, mango and avocado. The ube sauce is made with rich coconut cream, giving it an authentic flavor instead of the artificial "milk" taste that some places use. The mango sauce was delicious you can really taste the fresh mango purée in every bite. The avocado sauce was also excellent and adds a creamy, unique touch. Overall, these are some of the best pancakes I've ever had. We also ordered breakfast plate with Lechon. For me Garlic rice was dry but lechon was good. I highly recommend giving this place a try!
Tried this brunch place out for the first time, and it was really good! I would come back to try other things on the menu. My group got there at 10AM on a Sunday, and there was no line/wait. I did see a line start to form outside the door around 10:40 AM. Parking was easy to find at this time. The store is small and cute with lots of tropical vibes. Food was overall good! We ordered four dishes to share between three people: the silog breakfast bowl with tocino, poutine with longanisa, iloko moco, and Thai tea french toast. Portion size was good. We had some leftovers, which were enough for me to eat as my dinner later that day. My favorite was the poutine; it was so crispy and went well with the egg and longanisa! The only problem was that the tater tots got soggy after about 10 minutes so they were not as good afterward. The iloko moco and breakfast bowl were also good. For meats, i liked both the longanisa and tocino. The meats were flavorful and not too salty. I was not a fan of the Thai tea french toast because it was way too sweet for me. The Thai tea flavor was very strong. That being said, my brother liked it. He actually asked for additional maple syrup to pour on top of the French toast because he wanted it EXTRA sweet. If you have a sweet tooth, this may be the dish for you.
First time here. Cute and clean place, nicely decorated with a mural of Lola. Our server was friendly and attentive. Parking can be difficult as there are so many eateries in the same plaza. Located outside next to Haven City. Our food was so tasty and flavorful. My breakfast bowl with the crispy pork belly was so filling. The fat on the pork belly melted in my mouth. It was crisp just right not charred. Our server suggested Maggi on the garlic rice and he was right, it was delish! The salmon sisig was tender and had the right amount of seasoning. I have never had Filipino brunch and this was such a great experience. I can't wait to bring hubby here... will definitely be back.
First off, thank you to the workers for still letting us dine in even though we were cutting it very close time-wise . We ordered a ton of food, and everything was delicious! For drinks, I got the ube cold brew while my friend got the buko pandan cold brew. Totally biased, but I loved the ube one more -- and ironically, she did too . That's not to say the buko pandan wasn't good; the ube was just richer and creamier while the buko pandan had a more subtle flavor. I ordered the Chilaquiles Filipinas with longanisa and it was absolutely worth having longanisa burps for the rest of the day (iykyk). My friends got the silog breakfast bowl with longanisa and the two egg breakfast with lechon kawali. The kawali was super crunchy without being overly fatty, and shoutout to our server for bringing us extra mang tomas LOL. Now for the real star of the show: the ube pancakes. I still think about them. So fluffy, decadent, and delicious. HIGHLY recommend ordering them, especially with a savory dish to balance everything out. The restaurant itself had a fun, lively brunch vibe and was pretty busy when we went. Truthfully, the only downside was finding parking, but that's definitely not Lola's fault
Why haven't I been here sooner??? Went to Lolas after church because my husband was looking for a place with good waffle or pancakes. Saw that this place has a good pancake selection so suggested that we finally go and check Lolas out. We got seated right away since the lunch rush hasn't arrived yet. Cute little spot with pieces of the filipino culture sprinkled in their decor. We ordered their special salmon belly sisig (not yet on the menu), burger steak loco moco, fruity pebbles ube pancake, and the ube cold brew. O. M. G. Sooooooo good. All of it especially the salmon belly sisig (make it part of the menu please!). Check them out! They are open for brunch and totally a must try if you are in the area.
hands down Lola MFK is all around amazing. warm and welcoming Filipino culture pride decoration inside. lots of natural light and seating. once on wait list, easy to get seated and not busy on a week day for lunch. we absolutely adored our kamayan enough for 2-3 people. tocino, longanisa, beef tapa, chicken adobo, garlic fried rice, egg, tomatoes, orange slices all yummy on top of banana leaves. the pandan coconut pancake was fluffy and moist. loved our buko and latte flight drink with pandan as the favorite. nico was especially kind, thoughtful, professional, prompt, went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. will return again and again. an epic all time favorite gem. appreciated the diary free coconut whipped cream and coconut milk based drinks. in the future, will appreciate more gluten free and diary free options.
Such a delicious Filipino brunch spot! All the servers were soooo sweet and helpful. I loved all the decor. I suggest getting the cold brew flight! My parents and we were able to try all of their flavors. The ube French toast is a must! I got it with a side of chicken adobo. Deliciousssss! My dad got the bangus and omg it was amazing. My mom got a tocino. My dad loved it. My mom didn't really like that it was saucey. The nice waiter gave her a new tocino with less sauce which was nice and he definitely didn't have to do that. I'm definitely coming back with my husband and older daughter. I know they'll love it too.
Seeing all the positive reviews for this place, I've been wanting to try for myself and it did not disappoint! As soon as we entered, we were greeted warmly and promptly seated. The place was cozy and felt like we had stepped inside Lola's kitchen. Our server was friendly, made suggestions and came to check on us couple of times. I ordered the salmon sisig (which came with a side of garlic rice) and my friend got the longanisa plate. For the drinks, we ordered mango juice and Milo cold brew. Everything was delicious but the real highlight for me was the Salmon Belly Sisig. It came out on a sizzling plate and the portion was more than enough for two. It had the right amount of tartness and I liked the crispy bits on top for added texture. Highly recommend and would definitely be back!
I had a lovely experience at Lolas (West Covina). I ordered the Silog Breakfast Bowl ($15); I selected Longanisa (additional $2). The meal includes garlic rice, sunny side up egg, tomato salad, and a choice of meat (ex: beef tapa, chicken adobo, spam, etc). It's TASTY! The food is very fresh, well-prepared, and clean. I arrived at Lolas (West Covina) on Thursday (around 10:27AM). Parking is surprisingly easy because it's early; however, the lot is shared with the popular Haven City Market which is notorious for competitive, busy parking. Staff is exceedingly friendly, smiley, and personable. Staff regularly walked from table-to-table to chat and connect with customers. If you peak at my attached "interior photo," Staff sneakily snuck a happy pose. Staff is also efficient; I was helped immediately. The food took five minutes and 29 seconds!! EXTREMELY fast. As mentioned, I enjoyed the Silog Breakfast Bowl w/ Longanisa ($17). The food felt modernized for a more health conscious consumer; it lacked the saltiness typically associated with traditional Filipino food. Curiously, the Longanisa lacked the familiar "SNAP" when bitten into; rather, it offered a very soft, tender body usually found at a BBQ restaurant. These sausages were different but pleasant; they're sweet, plump, and gentle. Its rice is also a little dry, but it successfully carried the loving flavor of fresh garlic. Still, the cooked sunny side egg is the meal's showstopper, perfectly prepared and seductive. All in all, this meal arrived with a very picturesque and attractive appearance. It's a gorgeous and tasty dish. Concerning ambiance, Lolas (West Covina) is sleek and clean. The air felt fresh and well-ventilated. There's many tables, and the music is strong and upbeat like a nightclub. I appreciated the greenery and lovely artwork on its wall. Overall, I had a lovely experience at Lolas (West Covina). The food is delicious, fresh, and cooked lovingly. I found pleasant memories at Lolas (West Covina). If you enjoy Filipino food, this is an easy recommendation. 5 out of 5. "Just go."
I want to try EVERYTHING on the menu. We discovered and came in today by accident and as Bob Ross would say, "It's a happy accident" The inside is beautiful and gives you all the island vibes, including the music. The fusion of Filipino and islands is EVERYTHING. Beautiful decor. The service absolutely sweet and top notch, and the food arrived so quickly. He got the sizzling tuna sisig and it was absolutely bomb. And served with garlic rice! I got the country fried steak adobo loco moco and it did not disappoint. Crispy, flavorful,garlic, sauces but not overly sauced. Over garlic rice and two perfect cooked eggs. It didn't stand a chance to be ALL eaten. Cannot wait to come back to try breakfast!! Also, the Ube cold brew coffee is heaven.

Melt-in-your-mouth goodness, every single time! Lola's by MFK is the newest gem in West Covina, located right next to Haven City Marketplace on the left side near Ten Shabu. This is their second location (the first one's in Anaheim, which I still need to check out!). As a local Covina resident, I'm so excited to finally have a bomb Filipino brunch spot close to home. I've visited a couple of times during their soft opening. On a Monday morning, it was nice and quiet with just a few other tables. When we came back on a Sunday around noon, it was packed, but we were still seated right away. It was difficult to find parking though. What we ordered... Drinks: Calamansi Juice - Refreshing and perfectly tangy! Mango Juice - Sweet, simple, and delicious. Ube Horchata - Creamy, dreamy, and a must-try. Pandan Cold Brew - Yup, definitely a favorite! Food: Maple Glazed Spam Pancake (not on the menu, but ask your server!) - 10/10. Sweet, savory, and totally unique. Wish there was a little more spam though! Iloko Moco - My boyfriend's absolute favorite! Bangus Sisig - My personal go-to. Super savory and packed with flavor. Adobo Omelette - 8/10. Tasty but a bit saucy for my liking. Tapsilog - Out of this world! Ube French Toast - A must-order every single time. Bonus: I heard they'll be adding a selection of alcoholic drinks to their grand opening menu so can't wait to come back and try those! The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, paying plenty of homage to Filipino culture. Cozy vibes, great service, and food that hits every time. Overall: So happy Lola's by MFK opened in West Covina. We'll definitely be regulars here! read more
I wanted to like this place. I love a good Filipino food joint, and especially one that focuses on breakfast fare. And to be fair, the food was good--great even. My Tosilog Bowl was tasty, filling, and left me wanting for more--even if it came to the table a bit cold. I would definitely order that plate of joy again. Even at $17. The ambience was also super inviting and on par with a place that wants you to feel welcome. Spaced out, good music playing, nice lighting that's more subdued and not harsh--it's a great environment to conduct eating and gathering related functions. The problem is the service. It was some of the least attentive and helpful I've encountered. One of the simplest things I want a server to do at breakfast is notice when I need a refill of coffee or another drink, or notice when I'm having a problem or request. I spent so many minutes here trying to flag down a coffee refill that it really disrupted my good feelings about trying a place with buzz that was new to me. And even when I was able to get my request in, it still took them minutes to get me coffee because they hadn't bothered to start a new pot or pots after it had run out. That's like restaurant breakfast service, ABB, always be brewing. Coupled with that, I just saw the same two members of staff standing idly by when I was trying to grab their attention. This doesn't seem to be the place for customer service. Which is a shame, like I said. I so wanted to love this place because the food is just so appealing. That's one of the best Tocino dishes I've had even not super piping hot from the kitchen. But all the aggravation and frustration trying to be heard and get my coffee filled left me tired. I think I'm worse for having gone here--fuller, satisfied hunger-wise but with a sense of not at all liking the experience of having a meal there. The food is all I recommend about this place. read more
Welcome to West Covina, Lola's by MFK! Lola's is located next to Kawaii Klaws. They are in their soft opening phase at the moment. The hours are Thursday - Monday from 8:30am to 2:00pm. I'd never had a chance to try them at their Anaheim location, but now we get them in West Covina. First impressions, the restaurant is very clean and the tables and ambiance of all their Filipino inspired decorations are memorable. There is artwork of a Lola (grandma) and her apo (grandchild) on one end a welcome sign with common Filipino phases and translations on the other. The table settings have your well known Filipino condiments such as vinegar, banana ketchup, and Maggi seasoning! The menu is via a QR code and very extensive. I'll attach some screen shots of the menu. Many brunch options such as appetizers, breakfast bowls, pancakes and unique coffees and cold brew drinks to name a few. I went with the Lumpiang Shanghai its 8 pieces and priced at $10. I also ordered one of the Silog Breakfast Bowls (+15) with Tocino (+2). The staff was kind and hospitable the entire time. You feel welcomed the moment you step in. The food came out quickly and the presentation of each dish was great. It felt like eating at home. The lumpia was crispy, crunchy and savory! Then the Tocino bowl came out. SHEEESH!! Their presentation was extraordinary. Perfectly cooked egg on top of the garlic rice and the tocino flavor was on point. Everything that you remember as a kid eating breakfast at home. The bowl was a solid option for me and one I'd recommend to others to try. There are so many options on their menu I would already plan to come back sooner than later. Overall, a great experience for me and the food exceeded my expectations. Come in and try some delicious Filipino food! Thanks, Lola's West Covina! Good luck! read more
Tried Lola's, the new Filipino brunch spot right next to Haven City Market (it's not inside the food court -- it's to the left but in the same plaza). The place is clean, spacious, and decorated with really cool Filipino art that gives it such a fun vibe. Service was quick and pleasant. I tried the breakfast bowl with longanisa -- good but pricey! The beef tapa was flavorless... I want to back to try their Ube pancakes and Milo cold brew. If you're in the area, check them out. Just a heads-up -- weekends get packed, so try to swing by on a weekday if you can. read more

We had our Sunday brunch here and it was fantastic. We've dined at Lolas by MFK in Anaheim so it's exciting that we have one closer to us. They are still at their soft opening and that's reflected on their menus as well. Upon arrival we got on the waitlist thru a qr code. It was busy yet and we waited about 20 min or so. Friendly staff. It felt homey inside and intimate. We ordered the ube pancakes, birria chilaquiles and tocilog. Everything was good. Definitely a yummy brunch. read more
I came to Lola's by MFK in West Covina for brunch with a friend, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. The vibe is casual, chill, and family friendly with a cozy modern atmosphere that feels really inviting. We shared the Pancake Flight and got the Sweet Avocado, Ube, and Manila Mango pancakes. We were both shocked at how big the portions were. We were expecting mini "flight" pancakes, but these were full size (and tbh worth it). I ordered the Jeepney Breakfast Burrito with Longanisa, and my friend got the Bang-silog. Everything was flavorful and perfectly cooked. For drinks, we both went with cold brews. She had the Ube, and I tried the Buko Pandan, which was so good. I'm already planning to get it again next time. Service was amazing. Our server was super friendly, attentive, and made us feel comfortable without ever rushing us. I also noticed how kind the staff were to everyone who came in, it really adds to the warm, welcoming feel of the place. The only thing I'd warn about is parking. The lot is pretty small and it shares space with Haven City, so it can get hectic. Definitely plan ahead or be ready to circle around a bit. I've already told my husband we're coming back soon. The menu looks too good not to try more, and I'll absolutely be ordering that Buko Pandan cold brew again. read more

Visited this place twice and it's consistent in service, warmth, and taste. Henry took care of us our first visit and Dom this time around. Staff are so kind and welcoming from start to finish, and slip in small talk inbetween meals without seeming too forced. Ambiance is very cozy and nostalgic with pictures of maybe the family that started the business and pieces of Filipino culture. The vibe overall is comforting. Food is PHENOMENAL. So far we've tried the avocado pancakes, both tapa and longanisa bowls, ube/pandan cold brew, ube fruity pebble pancakes, pandan milk tea, and the calamansi hibiscus agua fresca and I have no complaints at all. Avocado pancakes taste just like the avocado shakes we used to make at home. Everything is so tasty and everything else we've yet to try sounds amazing! It seemed like people either visit a lot or they really do treat people like they're family whether or not it's your first time. It's just hard to stay away. Thank you, Lolas! read more
The hit Filipino Brunch restaurant Lola's by MFK originating in Anaheim has finally hit West Covina, in the recently poppin' Haven City plaza nonetheless. It is currently their soft opening and they have been open for a little over 3 weeks. My party of 6 arrived on a Sunday @ 11 AM and they were at full capacity, but luckily we only had to wait about 3 mins for them to prep a table for us. Service was great, and the staff were friendly. Dom particularly was enthusiastic and loved the vibe he brought to the table. And onto the food, we were disappointed the Bangus Sisig was sold out for the day but then we would not have ordered the Birria Chilaquiles! Great plate to share with the table and the beef was so so tender, it was clear that it had been slow cooked for a minute. Definitely the fav dish of the day for me and a few others! We also did the Kamayan with the usual spread of Filipino breakfast meats (tocino, tapa, longanisa, + chicken adobo and a few lumpia), some fried eggs and tomato over a bunch of rice. And of course you gotta drown it in vinegar. If you're eating as a party of 2 I think this would fill you up on top of maybe one shareable appetizer if you're reaal hungry. Not mind blowing, but super comforting - tocino was my fav. Pancake flight was huge! 3 flavors to choose from - we did Ube Fruity Pebbles, Ube Oreo, and Manila Mango. Mango was hands down every one's favorite and highlighted the natural super sweet Philippine mango flavor well. Adobo Rice Omelet (not pictured) was great for a few bites, but the sauce was extremely rich for us so I'd maybe suggest sharing the dish unless you're really into that. Thai Tea French Toast was tasty, but we could not taste too much of the Thai tea (more of an aftertaste), but it could be the super rich Ube we had from the pancakes right before haha Ube Horchata of course was also a banger highly recommended. Awesome experience, great authentic Filipino comfort food, and a super welcoming addition to the West Co area! read more
Never had Filipino brunch. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. The people are super chill and I got their drink flight, pancake kamayan flight with their avocado, ube fruity pebbles, and guava flaves, and brunch kamayan to try. The drink flight came with a citrusy hibiscus calamarsi, average mango and apple juice, and cinnamony spiced ube horchata. All the pancakes had crisp edges and were super fluffy and buttery and topped with flavored yummy sauces. The avocado one had all those earthy and creamy notes, the guava one had light fruity tropical guava flaves, but my fave was definitely the ube fruity pebbles one which was amazingly nutty, vanillay, not too sweet, and perfectly complemented by the crispity crunchy fruity pebbles on top. The brunch kamayan came with Garlic Rice, sweet sticky Tocino pork, savory Chicken Adobo, sweet fatty Longanisa sausage, tangy vinegary Beef Tapa, crispity crunchy savory Lumpia, super juicy fresh crisp Tomato Salad, and perfectly cooked Sunny-Side-Up Eggs. This place is lowkey pretty good. Drink flight $16 Pancake flight $20 Brunch kamayan $65 read more
Everything was great here. Came on weekday for brunch. For 5 very hungry girls we came out very full which was surprising because the portions seemed smaller this time. The moco loco, bangus, mango pancake and ube cinnamon rolls were so delicious. I kinda wish they had Kona coffee but the regular was fine. They also have a good list of cold drink options as well. Service was quick and we enjoyed the simple but impactful decor. The mano po mural was an eye catcher and the r&b 90s jams were music to our ears! read more

Came in for early Mother's Day brunch. Excellent food, service and ambiance! We had a little of everything - Adobo omelette, Ilocos Mocos, Bangus-silog and Ube pancakes. All very tasty and everyone was satisfied and happy with their meals. We also had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Henry who was super cool and most hospitable! Definitely recommend! read more
Lolas by MFK is a family feeling (not too big and not too small, but kinda homey) brunch spot located next to haven city market but it is worth the hype! The serving sizes were the only thing that concerned my fiancé and myself but it was worth it especially the fish! The flavors on both dishes were great and I we cannot wait to try what else is on the menu! We also had amazing service from our waitress and I wish we got her name but I'd like to thank her and she made the experience easy for us. We will definitely come back again and if you are in need of Filipino brunch definitely go give them a try! But don't wait too long because it can get busy in a blink of an eye especially during lunch! read more
Love that there's a closer location to the SGV. Great food and great service. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, their loco moco is delicious. The gravy is perfect and the patty is perfectly cooked and juicy. The pancake sampler was great if you can't decide what flavor you want and they give you plenty to even share around the table. read more

After hurrying everyone Saturday morning, expecting them to be packed with a long wait, I was pleasantly surprised to walk in around 9:30am and find several tables open & available. The server made several suggestions and we ended up going with two of them, being the Bang-silog and the Ube Pancakes. We also got the adobo rice omelet, and a side of longanisa, washed down with coffee. The food came out surprisingly quick but did not appear to have been rushed, and everything was delicious. The server was attentive, checking to make sure we were happy, while also providing prompt refills on our coffee and water. As we sat and enjoyed our meal, more folks came, and went, but the cafe never filled up to a point where anyone was waiting for a table. I don't know if it was just New Year's weekend, if word hasn't gotten out about them, or maybe they're just a local gem that is not being crushed, meaning they can attend to their customers, and provide good food and great service. read more

Food here was amazing and tasty. Their avocado French toast was my favorite dish. A very awesome and welcoming place! read more
This place is located in the same shopping center as Haven Market so parking is a bit hard to find. I came here to try their Ube Horchata and it was amazing! Ube and horchata flavor was perfect as you could taste both in the drink. I didn't get to try their food but will definitely look at it next time I come around! Employee was friendly and quick to get my order as I just had one drink. Lots of seating inside with clean interior. read more

Friendly staff. No wait when we got there! I've been to the Anaheim location so i was very happy that i now have one closer to home! Alcohol license pending, so no yummy mimosas for now but i did enjoy the ube cold brew! The food was fantastic! I do however wish they had a kids section on the menu that included bacon. I'll be coming back regardless! Can't wait for the alcohol menu! read more
Came by on a Monday morning ready to feast on amazing filipino brunch! I've visited the first location in Anaheim, and this did not disappoint. So happened to be helped by the owners this trip and they are just the sweetest and most hospitable people ever! There were some new items I wasn't familiar with, and they were great at explaining the dishes (even offering modifiers if needed). My friend and I opted for the Longsilog [Longanisa, sinangag (garlic fried rice), and itlog (egg)], sinigang chicharron, and tuna sisig (supposed to be bangus, but they didn't have any on hand). All the dishes were delicious and an excellent combination of traditional home style Filipino cooking with an American twist--my fave was the sinigang chicharron. I honestly can't recommend this place enough. Great vibes all around from the welcoming crew, chill music, and delicious food. read more

Service was amazing. We were well taken care of. The food is great too. It's definitely worth a try. We went during lunch but it wasn't that busy. It's in the same plaza as haven city so it is a pretty lively environment. Parking can be hard to find if you're going during peak hours. Would definitely come back though! read more

Your childhood filipino dishes with a beautiful modern touch! Our group of 6 visited around 10AM on Sunday and were seated within 5 minutes. We were welcomed by warm, attentive staff who took the extra mile to converse to make you feel welcome. Each dish was colorful and beautifully plated (especially the pancake flight). Your eyes definitely eat first here! Here's our order: $5 Ube Horchata - Light and refreshing! A great balance between the ube and horchata. $65 Brunch Kamayan - Meaty goodness! Served on a plate rather than traditional spread (in case you're expecting the full kamayan experience). The tocino was my favorite, and the tapa was served in a thick, steak cut which made it extra juicy. $18 Birria Chilaquiles - So TASTY! Crunchy and tender beef, a definitely my favorite. Pancake Kamayan Flight - Mango is a MUST try!! Ube oreo and fruity pebble were delicious, though a bit similar in flavor. Consider mixing up with another flavor if you like variety (but if you're an ube fan, go for that ube overload!). $6.95 Thai Tea French Toast - Soft french toast and infused in a light thai tea sauce. I like that it's not too sweet. We had a great experience and had been excited to visit since Lola's announced their opening. Recommend giving this a try! read more
I used to drive to Anaheim for this and was so excited when they opened one 10 minutes from my house! I got my usual Bangsilog and it was just as good as the Lola's in Anaheim. It was cooked perfectly with crispy skin, the meat was tender and had the right amount of tang from the marinade and flaked apart perfectly. The garlic rice had just the right amount of flavor to not overpower the bangus. One of my favorite spots and I see myself coming back often since it's so close to me now. read more

Good food and our server provided great service. Another team member was tossing to go boxes around and throws the cup lid on the table when we asked for the items. Could have been better with service. Overall, good food and we've tried the Anaheim location and the service usually is great. read more

Really great place for Filipino food! Had the breakfast bowl with chicken adobo and side of longanisa. chicken adobo was a bit dry but still good. pandan cold brew was delicious & strong with subtle hints of pandan. went around 10 and was able to get seating for 6. foot traffic started picking up around 11. read more
Nice airy decor, friendly staff. You can hear the cooks singing inside, great positive vibes! The food was delicious! Wish there was extra rice to absorb the extra sauce from my chicken omelette. Son loved the French toast with Nutella. Line is out the door, highly recommended you arrive early! read more
Nice place. It's a soft opening, so I know they are trying things out. Nice feel of the place. The bangus sisig was good, but a touch too much mayo and the he portion was quite small for the price. My son loooved the Nutella Abuelitas French toast. The adobo rice omelette was a little disappointing. The sauce balance wasn't quite the classic taste one looks for and the texture was a tad syrupy.

I've been eyeing this restaurant since it opened and I saw them on Instagram! Finally went for brunch, and it did not disappoint!! Amazing food and super friendly/welcoming staff! Every dish we ordered was delicious and was not overly sweet and/or greasy, which can be tricky to find with Filipino restaurants. We went on a Saturday for brunch, and there was no wait either! We will most definitely be back! Can't wait to try some of their other dishes and drinks! Great restaurant that puts a fun spin on traditional Filipino foods and flavors! read more

I was really excited to try Lola's. I love Filipino breakfast aka rice with meat and tomatoes in the morning. My favorite was the longanisa. Unfortunately, we did not like the tocino. It was tough to eat because of possible overcooking. I also wish it had more taste, but adding the vinegar from the table helped. Both meats were also lukewarm at best when served. The lumpia was good- nicely fried and crisp. Dom, our server, was very kind and hospitable. Would like to try their pancakes and French toast next time we are in the area. read more
I tried this place today during their soft opening, and my first impression was how bright, airy, and welcoming it felt. The décor is warm, with neutral colors and plenty of natural light. We were immediately greeted by friendly staff and seated right away. My husband ordered the Ube cold brew, which was delicious--rich in Ube flavor, sweet but not overpowering. My son had the Silog breakfast bowl with scrambled eggs and Spam, which he devoured. The eggs were fluffy, moist, and perfectly cooked. My husband and I shared the breakfast burrito, which came with a side of pork rinds and a delicious green salsa that had just a mild kick--perfect for those who don't like too much spice. The burrito itself was wrapped in a unique tortilla that was nicely grilled, adding a great texture to the combination of eggs, gooey cheese, and savory sausage inside. We also tried the Tres Leche French Toast, which was absolutely outstanding. The Ube sauce was balanced--not overly sweet or overpowering--while the toasted almonds added a lovely crunch. This dish really elevated the classic French toast. There are still plenty of things on the menu I'd love to come back and try, but everything we had today was excellent. Overall, this is a fantastic new spot that I highly recommend read more

I was craving Filipino food and decided to visit Lola's By MFK at their new location in West Covina. The ambiance was immaculate and the customer service was amazing. I was immediately greeted with a warm welcome and a big smile. It's a cozy little restaurant that makes you feel right at home. I came looking for authentic Filipino food, and the level of authenticity definitely met my expectations. I highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves Filipino cuisine or is open to trying it for the first time. I ordered one of their most requested dishes--pork sisig--and it did not disappoint. The sisig was creamy, savory, tangy, finely chopped, and perfectly crispy. I personally don't like thick-cut sisig because of the texture and fattiness, so this was perfect for me. I do wish it had been a bit spicier, since I love a little kick. Chef Henry was kind enough to let me try their Kaldereta, a tomato-based beef stew--and I loved every bite. Rich flavor, juicy meat, and the tenderizem. Top tier. I ended my meal with their Ube Cheesecake Brownie Bars and boi oh boi... AMAZING. Rich, soft, slightly crisp on the outside, and it just melts in your mouth. It's one of those desserts where after one bite, you simply can't stop. read more

I am so glad that Lola's opened a West Covina location. We used to drive all the way to Anaheim just for the Adobo Rice Omelet. They also have the best longanisa around imo. Can't wait to come back more often so we can try the rest of the menu. (Although I'll probably end up just getting the omelet again). read more

Lola's by MFK offers a warm, welcoming and family environment just like entering a Filipino family household. Service and food were consistently great. Lola's is in the same plaza as Haven City Market. Parking can be tricky as that parking lot is pretty busy. The foods we ordered were: ube pancakes (soft and sweet), ube horchata (highly recommend!), bangus sisig (packed with flavor), beef tapa silog, tocino silog, and lumpia. The food and presentation were all flavorful and delicious. Shout out to our very friendly server Dom! read more

Ang sarap ng bang-silog nila dito. It's crispy and not too salty. You can definitely taste the ube in the iced ube cold brew coffee. Sarap! I'm used to eating so much more rice than what they gave me but I am super thankful that they give just enough rice. read more

The ube pancake was really good, the beef tapa was a bit tough and chewy, but I was concerned about the scratched plastic plates used to serve hot meals. Over time, worn plastic can shed microplastics and is harder to sanitize properly. I hope the restaurant considers replacing older dishware to ensure both hygiene and safety. read more
