Things to do in Covina
10. Tacos Omanas
Reviewed By pattelbert
In town with someone who had NEVER had a fish taco! A quick search showed OmaÅas nearby and on the way to where we were going.The counter help was exceptionally patient with a gringo who was clearly out of her element.It took awhile but the tacos came out hot and tasty! The beans were authentic Mexican, the rice wasn't bad, and the salsa had great flavor a and a good kick. I guess the mark of a good eating experience is when you want to go back just for that dish. The fish tacos fall into that category,Good job, OmaÅas. We'll stop in when next we're in town.

I had not tried the tacos yet, but this little roadside place does serve up a tasty and filling combo burrito. Friendly and quick service.
8. Broncos Mexican Grill
Reviewed By Shauna R
The restaurant is nice, and a bit small however what it lacks in size it makes up in service. While it seems like a fast food spot, it's somewhat in between, however chips and salsa at your table while you wait, and your food is brought to your table piping hot, with hot sauce on the side. I've never had a problem with my food or anyone that works there, they are all courteous and friendly.

I am not from Azusa, or California. However, I have an amazing place called Alberto's in my hometown that was amazing, so I gave this place a try. (And yes, I know this place is not in any relation) I am super happy that I did, because this place was amazing. I recommend the chicken flautas. I am sure that they are the sole reason I gained weight while going to APU.
6. Taco Ready
Reviewed By Jenae7
Our family visited Taco Ready after reading a little article that rated this family run spot as one of the top Mexican food spots in the valley. The food was fresh and made to order. Since there were eight of us we got to samples many dishes. We will take our food to go next time as the place is small and you have to purchase your chips and salsa. Although the owner made us a batch of hot chips for our first visit and that was nice.

Service was slow. I was not expecting much. Drink specials all night but they are full of ice so just ok deals. The food saved the night. Yes it is a little pricey but large portions and the grilled chicken salad was good. Authentic cheese and other touches made it nice.
4. Mariposa Grill & Cantina
Reviewed By 2CAtravelers
We came here because we were staying nearby and wanted some good, authentic Mexican food. We were not disappointed and soon learned that this restaurant has actually been around for decades, originally located by the Eastland shopping center. Service started off slow but was quite friendly and helpful. The menu is very extensive. Portions are large and very tasty. Drinks are good too! Towards the end, a large party arrived so things got noisy and service slowed but overall we had a very nice experience. We would definitely come here again.

Three of us had dinner here. The food was pretty good, not exceptional. The space was nice and I liked the casual atmosphere. The chips and salsa were better than most. Prices of food were reasonable. I thought drinks were a little high. Service was good.

Iâve been going to Fondaâs since they opened. My grandparents love this place. My girlfriends parents love this place. I love this place! The first thing I tried here was their Birria with some corn tortillas. Nice juicy tender meat that falls apart without difficulty. I occasionally stop by for their brunch but for the past 2 years Iâve been getting the carne asada molcajete with a side of rice and beans and corn tortillas. The molcajete comes with nopales (cactus), queso (cheese), jalapeños (you know.. that spicy chili), avocado, and carne asada (flank steak) all inside of a tomato based sauce. It comes with enough food for 2 people and it costs about $20 so itâs perfect for a small couples trip. If youâre ever in the San Gabriel valley or feel like tasting some good Mexican food then you need to make a trip to Fondaâs!
