    4+ mom and pop type spot located in a strip mall that specializes in hot and cold sandwiches/ subs. They have a fryer here so they do items like fried seafood (including sandwiches and items like fish and chips, etc.). Couldn't decide what I wanted for lunch the other day and this popped up on my radar. Came in on the later side after most lunch time for most people so it wasn't busy at all and plenty of parking. Was greeted by a friendly, helpful person when I came in. I decided on the Nena sub, which was one of the specials of that particular day. This is basically their version as the loaded up, Italian meats sub. The prices here are more than reasonable, especially when you consider the size of the sandwiches. The bread is fresh and soft. Definitely a great sandwich / lunch spot that could easily be a rotational player in the area.

    Very good the bread makes the difference very old looking place which is a plus the cashier said it's been here for 50 years! The clam chowder was OK, probably wouldn't get that again however the sandwiches are very good. I would come back if in the area the overall experience was very pleasing.

    9. Ham, Bacon, Cheese Sub
    Crystal N.

    This spot is in a small plaza area so there's available parking. There's a menu at the counter for you to browse before ordering. I ordered the ham, bacon, and cheese sub. The small is perfect size to fill you up. I thibk next time, I wouldn't get the peppercinis in it. I was the only customer when I went in so the lady was quick with my sub. But overall p good. I would come back!

    4. Coppocola and Cheese Sub
    Isabella D.

    It's a tiny hole in the wall, just how I like it. Made to order. Just one worker. I got the coppocola and cheese sub with French fries and pink lemonade. It was great. I loved it. Side of ranch and hot sauce. Delicious. They have a huge menu! I wanna try their meatball sub next time. If you like an old fashioned deli, you'll love this place. I didn't need the fries! That sub was so big and filling. I saved half the sub for later. And the fries super hot and crispy! Yummy

    Philly Cheese w/ Avocado mmmmmm..
    james B.

    This review is based on my first visit to Tj's. Me and my wife both got the philly cheese with avocado with a side of fries. Both of us really enjoyed our sandwiches because the bread was toasted and warm. The meat was plentiful and the perfect meat ratio with the onions, mushrooms and other fresh veggies. The owner was super nice and helped us navigate through the menu and decide on a warm sandwich of our liking. This is the kind of place that'll make forget about subway and all the other chain sandwich places that cost around the same. I highly recommend trying the philly cheese with avocado and mushrooms. Also get some fries!!

    So I was next door, fixing my Ram's football jersey at Lee's embroidery shop, when I found this place. I was first apprehensive when I saw this place, but was starving, and sometimes these little Mom & Pop stores are hidden gems. Well after eating here, this gem shined pretty bright. What a pleasant surprise. My hot roast beef sandwich was of average size, but very flavorful, the roll was was fresh, lightly crusty, but soft on the inside. The female staffer was really nice and friendly, offered me a free ice tea, while waiting. Bonus points for her and the offer. Kind of enjoyed this sandwich, better than Subway. With the above average sub, I'll definitely be back for my sandwich cravings.

    Sorry couldn't wait to eat some. But there always a Knockout

    I always order from Maria and she never disappoints. Sandwiches are always good and even my company enjoys them. I Highly recommend them for lunch or dinner or party's. They also make party trays to your liking

    So Fresh & Delicious!…read more I tried C&R Fresh Foods for the first time a week ago. I did some research on Yelp to see the menu and recommended options. I was craving a wrap so why not come give em a try. The parking lot has plenty of spaces as it located on the long strip mall in this part of West Covina. The location is pretty chill and quiet outside of the TV playing soccer. The staff who took my order was friendly and allowed me to try sample some smoothies. I came there for the BLT wrap with avocado. My order was served within a few minutes. The staff offered jalapeños on the side as well and constantly checked in with me. I was happy with this wrap! The freshness of the veggies and the crunch from the bacon was perfect. One specific detail I'd have to mention was the cream cheese they use in the wrap. It elevated that wrap it to a new level and brought out all the flavors. I'd return again just for this item. Good customer overall with great food. Come by and try out C & R Fresh Foods! ( ^_^)b

The owner gave us a bunch of free samples to try which I found to be all delicious. I ended up getting a Strawberry Banana Orange smoothie and it was so good! You can taste that they use fresh fruit to make their smoothies. My family also got the Blueberry Banana smoothie. This one was also surprisingly delicious and a bit unique as it had a slight nutty flavor to it. I think the drinks here are made better than Jamba Juice or Robeks. And you'd be supporting a small shop! Overall, this spot is great and the owner is really cool! He was super amiable, and you could tell how much he cares about his business. I'll definitely come back for their smoothies and to try their food items!
