Great spot. Reliable go-to for Mexican favorites. I try to order something new every time cause it's always difficult deciding on just one thing.

Strictly reviewing the street tacos. I will try other things soon but just the tacos alone is really good. This is my second visit to this spot. I got the carne asada , pastor, and chorizo. Very flavorful and filling. Red Salsa was a good add on but not needed.

I had this placed bookmarked for a while. Food pics looked pretty good, especially salsas. On this lazy Sunday and craving menudo, i cruised through options via delivery app. When this place came up, I didn't hesitate. Unfortunately, food was very late and cold by the time it arrived. Driver waited almost an hour and I waited almost two hours for my food. Parts of my order were wrong too. My beef hard shell tacos were chicken and carnitas taco was adobada. The flavors were ok, so almost give them a pass for those blunders. Also ordered the carne asada plate, asada huarache, and menudo. Menudo was very bland. Not something I would order again. The asada wasn't it what I expected for a plate/combination. It was basically chopped taco meat on a plate. Flavor was ok, but again not something I would order again. Huarache was also just ok. Best part of the whole meal was the salsas. They did give us one of each. Red, green and milder one for chips. All in all, was not a good experience from start to end. Going to have to pass on this place next time. Too many great Mexican spots around town to settle for average.

They are so speedy! I went to the bathroom right after ordering, and my burrito was already at the table by the time I was back. Ordered the chile relleno burrito, which was vegetarian, and it was pretty good. Other people in my party thought that the food was too salty, but it may have been the meats that were on the salty side. I really enjoyed the salsas; the red one had a great smoky flavor, and the green was bright and spicy. I do not often frequent the Covina area, but I would not be opposed to coming again, especially since the owners were so kind read more

Delicioso (Translation: Delicious ) The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. Service was lightning fast, and the food did not disappoint. I had the torta de asada--perfectly seasoned and satisfying. My husband ordered a variety of tacos (asada, lengua, tripa, cabeza, and carnitas), and every bite delivered that authentic street taco flavor we were craving. Definitely hit the spot! read more

Their carne asada tacos are AMAZING!!! Probably the best street tacos I've tasted in a while - full of flavor, tender and juicy. They give you grilled onions on the side with a jalapeño pepper as well as their red and green salsa. Now I often crave their tacos! Friendly service and very reasonable prices.

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.

This kind of Mexican restaurant is right up my alley. Great food, stiff drinks, excellent service, and lively atmosphere. Oh, and plenty of chips and salsa!! I had the two tacos combination platter (one beef, one chicken) w/ a skinny jalapeño margarita. Along w/ guacamole to accompany the chips and salsa for the table - this meal was incredible. 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!!

I have lived in Covina for over 13 years, and this is truly one of the best local spots I have…read moreexperienced. I am especially glad it is now in my neighborhood. I will start by saying that I am very particular about Italian food. First, the location is perfect, slightly tucked away with ample parking, a cute and inviting atmosphere, and staff who are genuinely kind and welcoming. When giving recommendations, they speak from a place of knowledge and passion for the food, which is always appreciated. We started with the focaccia and house-made butter. Oh my goodness an absolute must. The focaccia was airy and delicious, and the butter was out of this world. I could honestly eat that by itself. I also loved the pickled sweet peppers that accompanied it. The broccolini was cooked to perfection, served in a generous portion, and was somehow a vegetable that even my six-year-old happily ate. Speaking of my six-year-old, he ordered the kids' red spaghetti, which was honestly one of the best children's spaghetti dishes I have ever tasted. It was flavorful, clearly made with quality ingredients, and far exceeded expectations for a kids' meal. My husband and I shared the torchietti with pork ragù. The pasta was perfectly cooked, with a delicious, well-balanced flavor and generous pieces of pork throughout. The house-made ricotta added a rich creaminess that complemented the dish beautifully. We also had the rigatoni pesto with pistachios and burrata. The crunch from the pistachios paired wonderfully with the creaminess of the burrata, while the basil pesto tied everything together. Another delicious dish. My husband ordered a peach cocktail, which he described as perfectly balanced. To finish the evening, we shared a scoop of their house-made vanilla ice cream and a large slice of chocolate cake. The ice cream was velvety, not overly sweet, and paired perfectly with the cake. The dark chocolate provided great balance without being too rich, and although the cake appeared dense at first glance, it still had a surprising lightness to it. Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough. It is a true neighborhood gem, and I am excited to have it so close to home.

We took advantage of the Dinner For Two four course meal for $65 (only on Tuesday and Wednesday). The corn butter with bread was fantastic. The broccolini was great just as others had said on their reviews. Any main entry you try, will be amazing too. Dessert was The Chef's Choice...Tiramisu. We both thought that it was top notch. By the time we finished our four course meal, we were definitely full. This is the restaurant that takes years to find and never want to let go of.

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.

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.!

I want to say there had been at least 10 orders before I finally set foot into the restaurant, only because my nephew's birthday was being celebrated there. The place looked like it had been newly remodeled/refreshed. It was nice and clean inside, but as lots of restaurants did during and after Covid, they ended up using some of dining space for excess storage, so there was a little section that was a bit cluttered, but that didn't bother me. I was there for the food (oh, and a birthday party...hahaha!) The food here is solid, and consistently delicious, even after they changed owners. Some of my favorites that I order on repeat: Orange Peel Chicken Honey Walnut Shrimp Salt & Pepper Pork Chop Salt & Pepper Fish French Style Filet Mignon My only gripe, is when it changed owners, the prices jumped quite a bit, so I had to cut back on the frequency of my orders. When I was shopping around for catering party trays, they were higher than all the others. Still though, the food is that good, so while I may not be willing to spend the money on party trays, I'll continue ordering from here for regular meals.

Large enough to be shared amongst 10+ adults. Service was great. Seriously, beyond the a-typical pizza joint. All seemed to be runners by young staffers, that seemed to actually care about the customer. Great communication and eager to greet you when you approached the pick-up window. Seriously at levels of in-n-out or chick-fil-a. The areas within this small storefront was clean and tidy. Staff took time to Make sure old receipts were picked up and thrown away and counters wiped down.

Even for a drive-thru order, this Mexican restaurant truly delivers excellence. Despite opting for the drive-thru, the quality of their food was great. The asada tacos and enchiladas were still incredibly flavorful and satisfying. Even in the quick interaction at the drive-thru window, Marco was very attentive and patient. With plenty of parking in the back, it's easy to swing by for a quick and delicious meal on the go. Whether dining in or using the drive-thru, this restaurant impresses with its tasty offerings and excellent service. Highly recommended! read more
