    Birria combo
    Johanna A.

    Great friendly service! Great tasting birria! I got the birria combo that comes with hand made tortillas that taste really good! My boys got asada and birria tacos and they loved it! First time here. Will visit again.

    Even though my girlfriend lives right around the corner she insisted that we drive there.So after about a 2 minute drive to this location, I was famished. She complain that there was a funky smell. But I can recall from my youth, it was the smell of the mop that needed to be changed. Anyways, food was good, prices was cheap for what it was. I got the mini asada tacos.

    Pretty good

    Even though this place is located in a not so nice area, and is kinda of a "hole in the wall" it has surprisingly great tacos for a decent price. Definitely worth a shot, and support this family run business.

    The birria is very good with hand made tortillas if you ask for them. I will definitely be coming back.

    My son was craving a breakfast burrito so we came by to pick up some from here on our way to a…read morebaseball game. I don't know why this was my first time visiting Pepe's, there is a location in Alhambra that's been there forever and really close to where my parents live, but I never went there for whatever reason. But I'm really happy with my first visit at Pepe's. Prices are fair for what you get ($10 for the breakfast burrito) and the lady at the register was really helpful in accommodating my request for a modified burrito. I loved reading the history of the company and the owners on the wall while we waited for our food. The burritos were HUGE, hearty and tasty! The lady gave me a bunch of salsas to try and they were all good. I was totally satisfied with my meal! I didn't know until after I paid and saw my receipt that there is a credit card processing fee. FYI, pay cash if you want to avoid the fee.

    I have came here the past two times and have gotten the nachos in different ways. I got the green…read morechilie pork nachos with guacamole and sour cream and shredded beef nachos with cheese because i love their jard shell tacos so much. I was pleased with both options, however in my personal opinion, the shredded beef was superior. I have yet to try pastor or asada, but that is next on my list. The salsas range from orange, red and green. I believe my favorites are green and orange (a bit more of a kick). The service is fast even when they are about to close. I have had no problems with any of my orders. I have yet to dine in. I simply use the drive thru option every time. This place is great for late night hunger... i am happy that they stay open until midnight. The facility itself is always clean and well kept. I will continue to keep coming back.

    Fonda Don Chon is an authentic Mexican restaurant located in Shopper Ln. In Covina near the…read moredowntown. Parking lot across the restaurant. You can park in the additional parking spots all around Shopper Ln. I have been a customer for many years and tried many delicious dishes. They serve a traditional Mexican open buffet at certain times. The waiting line is expected, but don't feel discouraged because it moves fast. The decor is vibrant enriched with colorful murals. The staff are very welcoming and genuinely warm. The restaurant has cozy and inviting ambience. Outdoor and indoor seating are available. I placed an online order for pickup. It was fast and convenient since I had friends coming for dinner. I ordered the following: - Burrito Panchon 5/5 Stuffed with carnita, beans and rice, served with cream, beans and guacamole. Huge portion! You can choose your protein. - Fajitas Cielo Mar Y Tierra 5/5 Marinated beef, shrimp, chicken. It served with sauteed bell peppers tomatoes and onions, rice, guacamole, beans and pico de gallo. It was smoky, savory and flavorful. - Vegetarian Enchiladas 5/5 Corn tortillas stuffed with bell pepper, corn, onion, carrot, cilantro, squash, and topped with a combination of cream and jack cheese. The portion was enormous. It was a very flavorful and savory. - Carna Asada 5/5 Flap meat marinated with homemade adobo. It served with pico de gallo, rice & guacamole. The meat was juicy and tender. It was such a delicious dish. - Empanadas 5/5 I chose chicken empanadas. It served with salad. The empanadas was crispy from outside and very flavorful. - Ensalada de Nopales 5/5 Diced cactus mixed with tomatoes, onion, lime, and cilantro. - Taquitos 5/5 It was crispy from outside with savory and juicy filling. - Taco de Cameron , taco de Pescado & taco de Birria 5/5 They were savory, juicy and delicious. - Beans 5/5 Topped with melted cheese, really delicious - Large Bionico Bowl 5/5 Fresh fruits like topped strawberries, mango, cantaloupe, banana, papaya, blueberries, apples, pineapple topped with granola and shaved coconut. It was rich, creamy. The fruits were fresh and sweet. It was heavenly! Every box was wrapped with layers of plastic wrap perfectly. I got a bag full of different types of salsa with my order and another bag with tortilla chips. The food portions were very generous. Every dish reflected authenticity and deliciousness. Fonda Don Chon has high quality, flavorful and delicious food. It is my FAVORITE MEXICAN RESTAURANT.

    I have been to Fonda don chon two times and both times I didn't have a chance to order any food …read more The waiter spoke Spanish to me which is fine but he got irritated that my adult children did not speak Spanish . He lectured me as to why my children didn't speak Spanish . If I work and my children's mother doesn't speak Spanish was explained to the waiter . The Reason wasn't good enough. I went to go eat Mexican food not to get lectured. Another time three of us went to the restaurant. There were many open tables . The waiter places us in a table that barely fit 3 not counting plates when the food was ordered . I told the waiter I wanted a bigger table . He said other times 3 people have fit at the table . Your party can fit at that table. I was trying to eat Comfortably. The waiter Got mad at me for asking for a bigger table . Once again it was at approximately 2:30 pm there was plenty of room. The waiter was so upset he was complaining that others have fit why not you guys. I said you know what I don't want to bother you any more so I told my party let's go. The waiter got mad again as we were walking out and he said in Spanish este gente esta fregando. It's too bad some of the wait staff have an attitude problem. I've heard the food is good at Fonda don chon . I guess I'll never find out .
