You need to try this!! The molcajete is soooo tasty!!! We come here all the time to buy their meats at the carnicería, and every once in a while we also buy food. Most of what we have tried here is pretty good. read more

Best Meat Market in West Covina. Their Carne Asada and Adoba is sooo good! They also make good hot food if looking for authentic Mexican food. read more

The food here is excellent. I usually get the tacos but today I had a carne asada burrito. The meat was very flavorful, with no gristle. My brother had the wet carne asada burrito and my mom had chicken enchiladas - they both loved their food too. Portions are generous. The staff who work here are friendly. There is a little market there too. The ambiance isn't much to speak of, but it's clean. I usually just get take out since we live close by. read more

We have ordered lunch from here a few times now. Delicious food and it has a salsa bar while you wait. It also has snacks, plenty of drinks to choose from, and is a carniceria. We have ordered the carne asada nachos and burritos, steak plate, bean and cheese burrito, and tacos. The nachos have melted cheese (liquid) and shredded cheese, as well as beans, guacamole, sour cream, and chopped tomatoes. For a party of 7 with drinks, it was 70 bucks. Not bad considering the amount of food we got. We will definitely be back to try other items and for lunch. read more

I had a bean and cheese burrito and my bf had a carnita burrito. U can eat it there if you want. We chose to eat there and the woman that took our order brought it over to us. They were friendly and answered all questions I had. The quality of the food was amazing. Def going back soon. Remember this is a carnecería/market/quik stop/restaurant. Its small but convenient. So the vibe is very friendly and kind of a hole in the wall. You will be pleasantly surprised! read more

This place never disappoints! Been going there for years and the food is always amazing

Great local spot! The molcajete was delicious. It included chicken, beef, camarones, chorizo, cheese and nopales. Hand made corn tortillas? Yes please! So tasty yummy and fluffy. The pupusa calabacita (zucchini) was a tasty surprise! Friendly people too. read more

First time trying did not disappoint also great service! Delicious food! We went back twice in one week lol I think the Al pastor is the best here! read more

Awesome little hole in the wall, and wouldn't expect what's inside when you look at it from the front. They have like 4 different stores all inside one. Not to mention it also has a restaurant menu that offers a variety of Hispanic dishes. The food was also great! They sell raw meat, beer and seltzers and also chips and other liquor store products. The lady that took our order was sweet. Nice place! read more

Amazing little gem ... I can't get enough of their fish tacos.. all their food always fresh and taste so good. read more

I ordered our Christmas tamales from El Pilon this year after tasting a few from 2 other places in Baldwin Park & Pomona. I also sampled Tamale Street's (afterwards) & theirs are good too. Note that some places may run out early or not take orders for pick-up on 12/24. They were not cheap (the cash price was $2.99 each - better than the priciest out there) and they were VERY GOOD - generous SIZE, not 'all masa', with good flavors. We had the cheese/chile , red pork & green chicken. They were not spicy hot - perfect for those of us who prefer 'milder temps' in our Mexican food - just savory! read more

Their meat can't be beat. The asada and cabeza is the best there is in West Covina. They have great tortas, nachos (i prefer ordering it without the nacho cheese, just regular cheese), and tacos, including $1 crispy fish tacos daily! Not only is it quality food, but the portions are huge. The carne asada nachos come with so much meat and toppings, you might need to buy some more chips! Absolutely love this place read more

After reading the "great" reviews, I said I had to try this place. My friend and I went about a week ago. Our orders were simple so I thought. My friend order huevos con jamon, and I ordered huevos rancheros. My friend said his eggs were o.k. My huevos rancheros were terrible. The eggs were over cooked, and the rice and beans had no flavor. I also ordered champurrado; it had a funny taste. Needless to say, I left my food and my champurrado. I won't be going back anytime soon. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing. The gentleman who took our order was nice. read more

I came here just to get some dessert for dinner, and my cake was good. I drove far to get here, don't know if I would be back. read more

Great meat market for your bbq needs. I love the guacamole and red spicy salsa. I definitely recommend them.

After writing a less than satisfactory review of King Taco, I was determined to fully satisfy my craving for Mexican food. The restaurant is located inside a convenience store type. Parking: it's located in an old strip mall where the streets don't make sense. I had trouble getting to it since the plaza had a street for their parking lot that ran parallel to another street that also had parking spaces. I just parked somewhere and walked along the strip mall to it. Maybe my google maps was off or maybe I was directionally challenged that day. Who knows? Service: To my pleasant surprise, the cashier was very friendly and willing to answer any of my questions. To be fair, he kind of had a case of RBF. As soon as I ordered at the counter, I went and took a seat. They graciously brought out my burrito. Food: I ordered an al pastor burrito sans beans. There was rice and pico in it. It was pretty darn delicious, but it wasn't the best I've ever had. The al pastor was missing the smoky element and I found it to be too chewy for my liking. I also thought the burrito had too much rice and not enough meat. I think the next time I come back, I'll opt for carne asada. I thought the salsas were a little watered down. The pickled veggies were good. read more

Good food and great service. I also have purchased the meat they sell to grill and it's very tender.

This is our go to spot for delicious authentic Mexican food. It is a small market with a few tables set up so we usually order for take out. The gal that answers the phone is sweet and efficient. The food is bomb and their Philly Cheesesteak is the best kept secret in town. Give them a try - you won't be disappointed! read more

Food is supper yummy and priced accordingly. It does get busy Saturday mornings so be prepared to wait. But it's worth it!

If you're looking for true authentic Mexican food, this is your place. I haven't been to some of my favorite spot because the food is so good. The staff is super friendly. I live across the street so I'm great to have El Pilon so close. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SPOT. read more

Oooh Grandma the burrito you just made for me is so delicious. Mmmm, I could have sworn it was made by Grandma. The nice aroma, the light touch of spices, melted cheese, immensed in tasty sauces on top of my huge burrito with sour cream on the side. Heaven! Simply Heaven. And enough left over for lunch. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-pilon-market-and-restarurant-west-covina?userid=cjotiAHFSbFuvbxTWmGi1Q#peXs79DCDrAOW-3_i7SOcg I don't think anyone understood what I was ordering, but it came out perfect. The workers here are very polite and professional. We started to clear the tables and they said leave it. They clear the tables for ya too. Overall, this is a very immaculate meat market / restaurant that will survive despite several other Mexican restaurants within yards of this place. Place: 5 stars Very clean and nice inside Food: 5 stars Perfect burrito Condiments: 3 stars Needs More sauce in Jalapeno / carrots Price: 4 stars Great for quanity and quality Service: 4 stars Quick service, brought right out to your table Ambience: 4 stars It's a market / restaurant, not Rodeo Drive. Parking: 4 stars private parking lot ------------- Next day....breakfast was terrible read more

¡Barriga llena, corazón contento! These are hands down the best tacos I've had in LA so far. Very reasonably priced as well(less than $2 per taco!). The protein portions are substantial, and the tacos come FULLY LOADED! Don't forget to taste the salsas on the side, takes them to another level. Only complain(first world problems...) is that I wish they would put cheese on their tacos. The quesadilla was OK. VERY GREASY! But it comes fully loaded with guacamole and sour cream on the side! Customer service has always been on point here. I feel like part of the fam I seriously recommend this spot next time you're in the mood to satisfy your authentic Mexican fix. Their menu is FULL of good stuff. read more

There's a lot of Mexican restaurants in this area but this one stands out. It's a half restaurant half liquor store with a meat market. Food taste good and portions are not to small.

The first time we came here during dinner time, it was empty so we walked out. Thought we would give it another try, the experience was much better than I had expected. Food was pretty tasty. We ordered spicy shrimp, it was way too spicy for me but it was tasty. Steak with eggs. And a soup. The rice here was pretty good. This place was also a lot cleaner than most of the Mexican restaurants. The staffs were pretty friendly. read more
