    Super asada nachos & crunchy beef tacos always hit! Paired with horchata or Jamaica...fire!

    Drenched tacos with hella spicy guacamole

    Love the food! But damn they're super tight wads with the lemons . They have them secured in the back inside a safe. Only the master cook has access to those lemons. If anything Bring your own lemons and maybe salsa cause they tight with the lemons lol . Service is ok but the food makes up for it.

    Eggs chorizo bean breakfast burrito - the ONLY kind they make.

    This review is for the breakfast burrito ONLY. I haven't tried any of their other food items yet so maybe later I'll update this review with that. Went in for a breakfast burrito and was told they only have 1 kind which is beans, eggs and chorizo. Nothing else. I got it and it's pretty good, just kinda weird to have a burrito with such a soft flimsy consistency since it's just soft ingredients inside. No cheese, nothing else to firm it up. Also, this place is CASH ONLY so be aware before you go. Cashier was a nice guy, no issues there. Very nice and clean inside. I definitely will go back to check out their other items, just this breakfast burrito was disappointing.

    Has a similar price point to King Taco with an expanded menu. Place was pretty busy and a few tables still had stuff on them after previous customers. Seemed understaffed in my opinion. Had to pay cash. Had the Asada Torta which was a nice portion. The meat was seasoned alright but a bit on the saltier side and the bread was soft when I bit into it. Place is okay but not as good as its counter part in West Covina.

    Definitely not impressed with the location. Right from the start, I asked for a refill on my horchata and was told it was not refillable which was a bit disappointing considering the price. Once the food came out, the taco was surprisingly small, almost snack-sized. On the other hand, the torta was generously stuffed, which was a nice contrast. The taste overall wasn't bad it's edible and fills you up but nothing about it really stood out. The seasoning was just average, and there was nothing that made me think, "I need to come back here." Service was fine, but not particularly friendly or welcoming. The place itself felt a little run-down, with not much attention to ambiance or cleanliness. It's the kind of spot you might stop at if you're already in the area and hungry, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.

    Hard shell tacos
    Allie G.

    Food is absolutely delicious! Tried the hard shell tacos and the shredded beef was juicy and tender. Salsas were delicious as was the guacamole. They're generously topped with lettuce and cheese which essentially leaves you with a mini salad lol. The reason I'm giving 4 stars is the fact that almost every table both inside and outside were dirty despite it not being that busy which means they leave messes on tables for a while after people leave. Now a second thing is that although I know technical difficulties can't be predicted their credit card machine was down when we went and my friend told me it happens a little too often that it's just so inconsistent to not know when it'll be cash only or not.

    Had a delicious Asada Torta ,comes with beans ,lettuce ,onions,avocado and meat,the Bread is so soft and fresh ,I'd eat the bread alone. The carnitas was a bit dry . Service not friendly at all. Plenty of seating inside and out side ,very simple ambience.

    King Torta was hyped to me as a classic neighborhood staple and a good college struggle meal. I'm sure that was the case 20 years ago, but $16 for a torta is pretty steep. The bread was pillowy soft and that was good, the vegetables could've been smaller since they all kind of fell out in chunks. More beans than carnitas. So in a pinch it's fine, but I think they've priced themselves out of a good cost benefit ratio

    So my girl grew up out here and we decided to come this location because she said this was the original one we usually go to the Covina one so we took a little over a hour drive to come here and I'd say this was a solid 7/10 Covina one is way better , not only that the lady up front helping her service was poor I asked if they can cut the torta in half upon getting my order and she responded with "there's a knife right there" with attitude like damn why's it so hard to just ask the cook in the back to cut it for us ? Covina one always does it with no hesitation the area is cool outdoor seating and all but over all I won't make the drive to come to this one again if your ever in the Covina area I suggest you stop there and the torta here just wasn't the same neither for some odd reason ...

    Bad customer service, only taking cash, nobody really carries cash now a days and I barely had enough cash to buy lunch, I asked for a cup of water and the guy at the register was very rude and said water is $1.50 which was awfully rude! Most restaurants offer free water. Definitely my last time here! Plus the meat did not taste fresh! hORRIBLE experience will never be back here again!

The last time I was over here was when it was a kbbq taco spot back in the day. We arrived a bit after 1pm and the small parking lot was full, much easier to find street parking. Especially since a lot of people mentioned in their reviews a lot of take out orders. We sat in their outdoor patio area and recently it's been windy so be sure to bring a light jacket or sweater. The food took a while, but it came out hot and fresh. The owner said hi and asked if we needed anything which was a pleasant surprise. She was super welcoming! The food was delish. My friend ordered the albóndigas special she saw on social media over the weekend - so it's not always available. I got the Egyptian nachos which was beautifully played with a jalapeño cilantro hummus, chips decoratively fanned out and nice pops of color from the pickled red onions and sliced cucumbers. I am sooo full and didn't even finish my food. Gonna put the extra meat in a tortilla at home! I would recommend and will try to make it out again soon.

Also got 2 queso birria tacos which were big!! With homemade tortillas. It was not the best Birria I've ever had but was solid. Their watermelon agua Fresca was refreshing and freshly made. This alone was enough to share between 2 people and be super full. But it is pricey at $39-40 or so for the 4 items. That said it's a locally owned shop and def has a ton of fans as it was busy when I visited and everything is house made! I will be visiting again :)

(Still strange to me) But this place makes some of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten..... I had the broadway sub and it is awesome..... it's a little messy but totally delicious. I also ordered the garlic knots ... wow !!!! Soooo good . My wife had the spaghetti with meatballs... excellent. I can't say anything about the location because I had my order delivered.

Sandwich was massive, however, it was mostly lettuce. Didn't notice from the pictures that the sandwiches aren't very balanced between meats and veggies. It's my personal preference for some more balance or flavor in a sandwich, peppers/onions/seasonings. Honestly, Jersey Mike's seasons their veggies better. I will say the bread at this deli was a notch above Jersey Mike's which is definitely a plus as good bread can make or break a sandwich. Mozzarella sticks were great, although they were normal sticks nothing out of the ordinary but I've definitely had worse sticks (looking at you Prince St Pizza...) so I'd recommend them if fried cheese is your jam! Service counter young lady was nice, she was quick and helpful with her suggestions. Small store, kind of looks like a convenience store and then the deli counter is on the right of the entrance and cashier is in the back. Easy ordering process. Parking is in the back, limited spaces. No inside seating available from what I saw, just counter to order and that's it. Grab and go type of spot for sure. Place was OK - if I lived closer, I would think it's an ok spot to come more often but I would not go out of my way to come.

It is cozy and cute, a good spot for small groups. There are QR code menus on the table so we reviewed the breakfast options and decided to share the breakfast bowl and a churro waffle. plus cafe de olla for each of us. Of course as soon as the waitress walked away, she came back with a beautiful plate of enchiladas for the table next to us and we realized you can order the entire menu all day? This was a bit annoying since it wasn't explained to us, but my friend suggested we share a mole chicken taco to try one other savory hot dish. The breakfast bowl is more like a salad, really nice fresh greens, roasted cauliflower and sweet potato and a lovely poached egg. It could have been a bit more flavorful, maybe some beans to add more protein, but it was good for a break from all the heavy holiday dishes. The mole chicken was right on the edge of being dry, but the mole was tasty and the portion of meat was large. The churro waffle had just a light cinnamon dusting, I was expecting a bit more of a crunch and sweetness. The fruit topping was fresh and yummy and the whipped cream seemed fresh as well. Overall it is a cozy spot and I would go again and try other dishes on the lunch menu.
