    Omanas holds its own and I have been a long time customer from days in south El Monte location. The chile verde burrito is my go-to! I say I'm going to get something new but can't help but order that. Plenty of tables and a shared parking lot. Plenty of options for the whole family.

    Try this little hole in the wall place hidden in the back of the 7-11 strip mall. The cook rolls the tacos with one hand pretty cool. Non stop people for a sunday night. Inside has a handful of tables to sit both takeout orders and sit in's. Not a long wait for orders. Chile Verde burrito very tasty the pork was shredded I am used to chunks it had a little kick to it the beans were very good I would like to go have a bean and cheese burrito. We also tried the steak picado taco recommended as one of the favorites the tortilla was dipped in something but it was good tender pieces of meat bathed in the goodness of onions tomatoes, that makes a sauce. We also had chicken taquitos comes with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, avocado sauce, laying on green chili. I made the mistake and had the cream on the side, but that makes the whole taquito is super good. The cream is very tasty. Wasn't a fan of the chicken that seem like it was overcooked for the taquito. They have taco Tuesday every taco for only two dollars. If you want to try the different tacos that they have.

    Great small spot for delicious Mexican food. My son and I shared the carnitas plate or rather, my son ate the carnitas plate and I took a few bites. He loved it. The best he has had which is a big endorsement. I barely took a picture before he had his second scoop. Omana's is located in a small strip mall with a 7/11 and laundry mat.

    Located in a shopping plaza just west of Barranca, next to a laundromat, Tacos Omanas has been around over 40 years. Our usual taco place was closed for Labor Day, so I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Prices are reasonable, restaurant is clean, food is good. We got the California Burrito w/ asada, an asada meat burrito, a carnitas taco and pollo taco. My family still prefers our other taco place, but Tacos Omanas still hits the spot for our taco and burrito cravings.

    I was in the area and decided to stop by since a good friend recommended this place a few months back. I was pleasantly surprised at the authenticity of the chile verde burrito. Just the right spice and as tender as it could be. The flour tortilla made me feel that I was in Sonora. Will be back for the rest of the menu.

    Wow, bad experience here. First timer and stopped in for a burrito. Young lady at the register greeted me, which started off good. Asked what the burritos have in them (meat rice, beans, cilantro, onions, etc)...she said beans and meat only. Surprised, I said ok. Ordered the steak picado burrito and man was I disappointed in this Mexican Restaurant. I don't know if I ordered the wrong thing but the burrito literally had just beans in it. No veggies, maybe a couple pieces of meat, it was falling apart because of the massive amount of beans. I couldn't believe the cook actually made it the way it came out. Reading the reviews, looking at the picture, I don't want to believe it but this place is a one star for a comfortable feel while you eat. Tops for the Worst burrito I've had ever. I'm in the area often and would love to stop by again, it'll be tough. For now, I would not return and don't recommend.

    Ordered a chile verde burrito and it was more beans than anything, the burrito would fold. Not a bad taste, but not satisfying either.

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 was…read moredebating between this one and Casa Moreno down the street, but this one looked less brunchy. 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

This plate also includes refried beans, rice, "garnished salad," and warm tortillas. I left El Camichin (Covina) full and satisfied. (Important Note: Bring cash. There's an increased cost of 3.84% for card.) I arrived at El Camichin (Covina) on Sunday (around 1:40PM). There's street parking; however, there's also many nearby public parking lots. El Camichin (Covina) is located in Downtown Covina near a Taco Bell. El Camichin (Covina) is crowded and popular. The customer chattering echoes loudly; the strong Latin American music flies off the walls; and the bar machine's occasional grinding & clanking noises are blaring. El Camichin (Covina) felt cramped and chaotic. A basket of chips and salsa were quickly placed on my table. Soon, I received a cup of water. These complimentary chips tasted crusty, hard, and a little stale. Thankfully, the salsa tasted fresh, and it carried a lovely addictive heat. The cup of water also tasted fresh and clean. My server (name tag said Lalo) is prompt. Lalo spoke English and Spanish. I observed how Lalo glides from table to table to check-in with guests. "How you doin, brotha'?" he'd exclaim. I ordered the Al Mojo de Ajo / Camarones Shrimp Plate ($24). It arrived in 12 minutes and 22 seconds. Very fast. Concerning the food, there's genuine fresh and flavorful quality hidden amongst its ugly plating and presentation. At first glance, the Al Mojo de Ajo / Camarones Shrimp Plate appeared underwhelming and unappetizing. It looked clunky like something dumped from a cafeteria. However, as I slowly tasted parts of its dish, I found myself pleasantly surprised. Its jumbo shrimps came huge, plump, and dripping with butter. They felt fresh, soft, and juicy. Next, the refried beans came thick, fresh, and clean. Its melted cheese created a welcomed savory creaminess. The rice was warm and dry, but its texture and flavor were enhanced as melted butter drizzled over its grains. I especially enjoyed the corn tortilla. These tortillas felt fluffy and stretchy. Unfortunately, I disliked the "garnished salad." It tasted like warm, old lettuce that was scraped off a few random tacos. The ambiance at El Camichin (Covina) felt chaotic, almost like a festival. It's reminiscent of a noisy sports bar at times. El Camichin (Covina) has many flat screen TVs playing football, and many customers appeared absorbed into the game. Fortunately, El Camichin (Covina) felt relatively clean despite being so busy. The floors looked a little messy, but the tables were shiny and smooth. Thankfully, the interior also felt well-ventilated. I also appreciated the beautiful art murals on the walls. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at El Camichin (Covina). This location felt popular and chaotic, but there's genuine good ingredients and food hidden within. I left full and satisfied. 4.5 out of 5

I also don't appreciate the poor attitude that two of the bartenders have been displaying lately. They have favorites and it shows a lot. I understand that when it's time to close it's time to close and go. But if you're serving other people and treating those same people nicer because they're your favorites, well that's not cool. In the end we're all patrons. We all support when consuming. But above all, it's the poor attitude that I will never pay for. I used to like coming here often. I probably will never again. I also know that occasionally in the bar they overcharge for cocktails thinking customers will not notice because they've been drinking and bartenders refuse to adjust the check. This is terrible and now you know.
