    Maybe if you spent less time focusing on political activism with your NO ICE posters and more time on cleanliness you wouldn't have a disgusting C grade from the Dept of Health. That's OK, I'll head to Taco Nazo in La Puente.

    Background On Visit: Stopped by to get a quick snack before I played pickleball nearby. Credit Cards: They're accepted. It would be nice if the staffer told me that there is a $0.49 surcharge. Restroom: Restrooms are available. Location/Parking: Located in a strip strip mall between Laurens Ave. and Maine Ave.. Shared parking can be found in the front of the shop. Ambiance/Decor: Hole in the wall type of shop. Doesn't look modern like other Taco Nazo's. I guess this shop focuses on authenticity. There's music being played inside the shop. You might have a hard time hearing your number being called to pick up your food. Order Of Operations: 1) Order at the register 2) Find a seat 3) Once your number is called, go up to the pick up/condiment section and get your food. Service: Service was alright. Food came out at a decent time. The staffer behind the register was friendly and offered great suggestions. Food Of Choice: 1) Fish Tacos: Fish tacos were great. I was quite happy that the fish was a decent size and they load up the taco quite nicely with all the fixings (cabbage, tomatoes, cilantro, and some white sauce) 2) Bean and Cheese Burrito: Burrito was quite cheesy! It was nice eating it with the green sauce. El Taco Nazo For Thought: I would mind coming back to get more fish tacos.

    Dined in for lunch on 1/21/26 at 12:30 PM. It wasn' busy. Parking: Plenty on the side or in front Food: 1. California Burrito - 3/5, too wet for me. I am not used to a super wet burrito. Usually they mention if it is. I wish there were a little more fries but that is just my preference. 2. Fish Tacos - 3.5/5, they loaded these tacos up!! Fish was fried and fresh, but the downside was too much sauce. I wouldn't recommend. Price: California Burrito costs $14.00 and the fish tacos cost $2.99 each since it was a weekday promotion. Overall, I would come back and just get when they are known for! I ordered the shrimp burrito before and it was bomb!

    This place has really good food overall. All their tacos and burritos are excellent. Nachos were good, nothing special. I'm a big carne asada nachos guy too.

    Two fish tacos and one shrimp taco.

    We stopped at this spot as it came highly recommended for their fish tacos. I tried two fish tacos and one shrimp taco. The fish tacos were really good! They definitely reminded me of the tacos I've had in Ensenada. The shrimp taco was ok, but I wouldn't get that again. I would get another fish taco instead. My daughter had two Al Pastor tacos and she liked them, but they weren't my favorite. The service was great! Everyone was very welcoming and seemed to be genuinely happy that we were there! I would recommend this spot for sure!

    Fish tacos (10/10) and agua frescas (10/10)

    I grew up going to this place on a regular basis during Lent for fish Fridays and going back as an adult it tasted just as good! The fish tacos are always the thing I recommend people to try, along with their agua frescas -- I'm impartial to their jamaica! The staff is always welcoming and eager to serve you. There is plenty of seating to enjoy your food there, which you will once you smell it!

    My mom was at a doctor appointment and asked me to pick her up. She asked if I can take her to grab something to eat and SHE picked Taco Nazo. She lives in Baldwin Park and we were in Baldwin Park so I asked, "in La Puente?" No right here and pointed to this El Taco Nazo. Huh, I didn't know Taco Nazo had a place here? Well it's not. I kind of started to suspect it when I didn't see some of the specials I am used to seeing at the LP or La Habra Taco Nazo. I can't imagine why there are so many Taco Nazo copy cats. I go to Tijuana regularly and they have a knock off there too but all meats, no fish. Why put yourself up to a standard you are not going to achieve. Anyways, she picked this place and ordered two fish tacos. They did NOT look like I was expecting and while they were OK, it isn't the standard that I thought I was signing up for. The tacos were cold. We were surprised how fast they came out. Like we ordered them, sat down and they are on the table. Now we know why. She was not happy but let me just repeat, SHE asked to come here. She did tell me how delicious some of their other dishes are. I would have to see it. It's not that this place is bad but you state that you're Taco Nazo and your NOT. So the expectations are there but they don't achieve the same standards.

    Place is a decent little hole in the wall. The food is actually good. They put a lot of shrimp. Very little Avacado so you might want to take your own Avacado . The buckets of beer $35 for six. The fish tacos are pretty decent size. The atmosphere is very clean. They have a live singer.. He's the cook.! But he does have an awesome voice. And if you want chips and salsa, you're gonna have to buy them.. services pretty quick. It is very fresh.. my to go place for cocktail, just don't forget the avocado.

    We finally made over to the best fish taco and shrimp in the heart of Baldwin park..... it's a must when we are in the area.

    Order my food here and couldn't eat inside because for some reason they had the other half of the restaurant closed down.

    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'm sorry, but I wanted to like this place. Let's start with…read morethe drink. -Cafe De Olla. I don't know, I've had it at quite a few places. Even made it myself. Just wasn't a fan of theirs. Now the food.... I had the Chon's Breakfast Comal. The chorizo was ok. Lacked quite a bit of flavor. Potatoes tasted kinda like they were boiled and then finished in a sauce, then plated. The bell peppers and onions were fantastic. A lot. But they were cooked well. Over easy eggs were decent, despite one of them being cooked all the way through. Comal was perfect temperature. But insanely greasy (which is expected from chorizo). Rice. Eh... Rice is rice. Wasn't bad. But was all "Oh my goodness this is amazing." Beans tasted like the refried Rosarita's can. Just topped with cheese. The salsa. It was pretty good. The 1st time. Until I found a hair. Then I was given a 2nd one. And when I decided to eat it, it was no good. It was starting to spoil. I realized this once I put it on a bite I was about to take and immediately put it in my food i was about to chew in my napkin. After about 15 minutes when my server finally came by, I told her of the situation. She said "I'll go check." Then disappeared. Someone else gave me the check, and then someone else brought the receipt. The initial server didn't pop up until I was getting up to walk out. So no manager interaction. No "we'll comp your coffee." Just a "Sorry you didn't like it." As I walked out. Ambiance is cool, but some table placement doesn't make sense. That needs to be addressed. Will I come back here? I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not. But I'm talking like 80 no /20 yea. So I guess we'll see.. So I'm giving this place 1 star. I'm sorry, but this is my opinion based on my 1st experience here. Maybe it'll be better. We'll see....
