Hands down one of the best Mexican spots around!…read more We ordered the Burrito Panchon with grilled chicken and the chicken enchiladas, and everything was absolutely incredible. The Burrito Panchon was massive, packed with flavor, and the grilled chicken was super tender and perfectly seasoned. The chicken enchiladas were just as good, pure comfort food with amazing sauce and perfectly melted cheese. The food came out fresh and hot, the service was super friendly, and the portions are extremely generous. If you're looking for authentic, delicious food that hits the spot every single time, this is the place. We'll definitely be back for more!

I enjoyed my meal. Also, had lunch for the next day. Service was amazing, it was a busy night and they had plenty of servers. Drinks were never left empty and all employees were very content on helping all of us. In the way of ambience, this place has lots of seating indoors and a few tables outdoors. Be prepared for a little bit of a wait, depending on the time of day but well worth it. While we were there, they had several birthdays celebrated. With a little song and a little dessert.

I'm glad I made the right decision. On a Sunday afternoon, there was a short wait for a party of two. They were certainly busy with all the outdoor tables full too. When we got seated, they gave us some of the best tortilla chips and salsa I've ever had. I would go back just to eat this again. The menu is very extensive, but ultimately I decided to share the Supremo molcajete $31. There was so much food that we couldn't finish all of it. It came with guacamole, rice, and beans on the side. They also brought out warm tortillas. The best part of the meal was the singer. He would choose songs from his phone and then just sing casually into the mic. He didn't even go around asking for tips, like they do in Mexico City! Street parking (free) Bathroom in the back Outdoor seating available Big groups are ok, but space is tight

Welcome Home We…read moreescaped the storm in Hawai'i and after a fun filled Spring Break week at Disneyland, my son's one and only request was to eat at Casa Moreno!! 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.

In fact, their air-conditioning was a reprieve from a hot day when we walked in. Alex greeted us with his friendly smile & very attentive to us even giving us some extra beans & radish to go.

I would recommend people to try this place as it is one of a few family-owned establishments that really worth trying.

There was only one table taken, very clean and you can either order on a tablet or at the counter. The lady who took out order was friendly and explained her most popular items. We choose the birria quesadilla with a small consomé, chilaquiles verdes con huevo, agua de horchata and an agua mitad de pepino y mitad piña as as she recommended. The service was fast, food taste fresh. The chilaquiles were too soggy for my liking. I prefer crunchy tortilla chips, the salsa was ok- not spicy and the egg wasn't scrambled as I asked for. Rice and beans were good. The birria quesadillas was decent, nothing out of this world. The horchata was not good, it tasted powdery - it kind of tasted like a gelatina. The agua de pepino mix was good. Refreshing and not too sweet. I don't think I would be coming back here. I wasn't very impressed.

It was tasty and there was plenty on the plate along with rice, beans, and a small salad. Absolutely love that they put a fire roasted chili on top, radish slices, and an orange slice. The service was great! As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted and asked if she could take my order. Sidenote, you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. They have a salsa bar, which I got a picture of, it will be in this review. All of the salsa looks fresh and tastes amazing! They serve fresh chips with a light amount of beans on top. Yummy! The ambience of this place is a cute trendy vibe. Since it is a couple days after Valentine's Day, they have decor for Valentines in the lobby and small hints throughout the restaurant. Definitely be forewarned they are a cash only business. They do have atm in the lobby. I had enough cash on me to pay for my food. Chili Verde plate and a small soda came to $23 and change.

After making a quartet or so of food deliveries from El Picosito Taqueria in Covina over the past…read morefew months, your favorite Yelp correspondent decided ro see if the restaurant lived up to its name...which translates to "A Little Bit Spicy." After I nearly blew up my poor en-suite microwave (I didn't realize the El Picosito staff had DOUBLE wrapped my burrito, an inner layer of aluminum foil encased within an outer paper layer) the rest of my W evening dinner was uneventful. 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.

I'll usually ask them for them to extra toast the outside tortilla so it has a bit of a crispy crunch to it. My favorite so far is the California. Has a good mix of meat, fries, and guacamole which makes each bite feel balanced. Order comes complimentary with red or green salsa. Sometimes they'll add some tortilla chips in the bag although it seems I only get this sometimes. Parking lot is small. They do have a drive through which is nice. There are some outside tables to sit around if you want to eat there.

This charge is not legal due because it is not posted. In writing about it! Surge charge will conflict me tipping which isn't fair to the servers! Filed a complaint to the BBB.

Right away, the vibe was giving outdoor patio but with cozy indoor energy. Super clean inside and out, and the staff was really friendly. Our waitress this morning--her name was "B"--was the sweetest. Super kind, always checking in on us and making sure we were good. If you're like me and super indecisive, I usually stalk the menu the night before. But this menu was HUGE--pages and pages. I flipped straight to the brunch section in the back (three full pages!) and landed on the Supreme Skillet: potatoes, over-easy eggs, bell peppers, ham, and sausage. It came with three tortillas of your choice--I picked corn. Taste-wise, it was good, but I wish there were bigger and more pieces of meat. Compared to other skillets I've had, this one was a little light on the protein. It was $17.99. I'd rate it a 6.5/10, but with the refried beans on the side, it bumped up to a 6.9/10. My bestie ordered the Combo Benedict with French toast sticks, and honestly...the French toast sticks were the star. Super crispy, fluffy inside, and perfect with syrup. We also got the mimosa flight--mango, strawberry, and peach. All were tasty, super cute, and very Instagram-worthy. I can totally see this place popping at night with music and drinks. That said, even in the morning with only one other couple next to us, the music was pretty loud--it was kinda hard to talk during our brunch, literally had to look at besties lips to know what she's saying. I can't even imagine nighttime volume, lol. Overall: Ambience: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 3.5/5 Definitely a fun spot to try, especially if it's your first time! But def plenty better brunch food out there! Happy eats!

I could've walked out and gotten hit by a bus and would've been happy that this was my last meal. We were seated upstairs and it was a little more intimate and cozy w/ low ceilings (look out tall people!). Service was so on point, we never had to rubberneck once, the servers were always present without being overbearing. Not sure if there is dedicated parking for the restaurant, but there was plenty of street parking during Sunday afternoon. I think I found my new favorite Mexican spot in the Covina/Azusa area!!

The restaurant has great decor all over the restaurant and a lively atmosphere. The staff that helped us were all attentive and personable. We were given chips and salsa shortly after seating. I love the locations that offer fresh crispy chips. I ended up ordering one of Desebrada Shredded Beef Burrito (wet) and they told me I could do the half red and green sauce. I also ordered one of the Chicken Dorado (crunchy taco). My wife ordered a taco combo plate and Jalapeño Vodkarita. The portions were generous and abundant. My burrito was hefty! I enjoyed every bite of that wet burrito. Saucy and full of deliciousness. The affordable pricing is great because of the amount of food. The taco was fine, but I'd got with a burrito again since you can take the rest home. My wife enjoyed her food and drink. We had never been here in all these years.
