    Super fries were awesome. Cheese was super gooey and stringy which I love the spice level was perfect no complaints just wish it was cheaper but everything's expensive now. A super fry and a torta was almost 40 bucks.

    $12 per Torta, worth it.

    TORTAS MUY RICAS! This place needs to be discovered. The bread is super good, very generous serving of meat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The premises are very clean and new.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I've been here about 3xs now and I have to say pretty impressed and I say that just because the meat marination is delicious . Whenever I get asada it's literally just straight up beef no marination whatsoever or really greasy but asada here is delicious, flavorful, no greasy or oily taste . It's also not dry either .I tried their asada torts which was about $13, super fries which I got twice now has been consistent which is about $18? I would say a little pricey. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It always seems empty when I order but it looks as if people tend it take it to go rather than dine in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Toppings are always fresh looking which I appreciate because I feel sad when I get wilted veggies or brown avocado . for the super fries though there is no onion or cilantro and you would have to ask for it if u want it. I don't think they charge for it but I think it's delicious when there is onions & cilantro. The fixes ya know?

    This place is legendary for their tortas

    I've been craving a torta and was in the area so decided to stop in. When I first found out this place was coming to West Co I was so excited! I had gone to the one in Los Angeles when I worked out there from time to time and recalled good experience and great tasting tortas. This location is just across the street from the newer Haven City Market in West Covina. When it comes to the food it's good but wouldn't say amazing. I got the carnitas torta and my son got the carne asada fries. The torta was about $11 some thing and it was ok. Kind of wish I'd have gone with Al pastor or asada. I had the last few bites of my sons asada super fries and would say those were a little better. Although they should be for $16+. As far as the torta goes to be honest id say for the money next time I crave a torta I'm going to El Bukanas. Much better bang for your buck there. I also recall at the one in LA they had a "King Torta" - huge plate size one - but didn't see it on the menu. Maybe it's an off the menu option. The size of the standard one was about the size of a bulillo - average bulillo. It came with carnitas(your protein option) shredded lettuce, beans, avocado, onions, and cilantro. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is super sanitary and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I feel like when I came here before the pandemic they had a salsa station etc. now they are behind plexiglass and can only get salsa at the counter[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I had the green salsa - my go to. It was good but came in super small but cute containers. They are located with a small/medium size parking lot at Glendora/Vine. If you are headed North on Glendora or West on Vine you can get in the lot easier otherwise a u turn is needed. The service was good and there wasn't much customer traffic on a early Saturday afternoon- 2 groups and us - take out. We got our food relatively fast!

    Super fries no meat with cilantro and onions added

    I absolutely love their super fries, they have some of the best fries, I love the fresh cheese! The only downside is the price $17 with tax. My son and I used to come here at least three times a week until they went up on their prices. Their potato tacos are really good as well! So I would give 5 stars for how good the food is but 3 stars for the prices

    It has been a long time since I have had king torta. I loved the chicken and Al pastor tacos and I appreciate that they added cabbage and quac on them. Wasn't a huge fan of the carnitas. Next time, I'll probably opt the Chile verde burritos, it was always tasty from what I remember. It was dead quiet when I visited, basic interior, but all the tables appeared to have been cleaned. Staff was not overly friendly, but they got my order out promptly and correctly.

    First time visitor and it will not be my last. Corner location makes this a very easy restaurant to locate. Be warned that the parking lot is extremely small. Perhaps six cars max. I was forced to park on the street which was no big deal whatsoever. The restaurant is small but a decent size with perhaps ten booths. It is very clean and organized. The menu board is clearly visible behind the counter and there is protective glass across the entire length of the counter. The young lady who took my order my very nice, friendly and knowledgeable when I asked her a couple of questions about the ingredients in several items. After placing my order, I sat in a booth for five to seven minutes when my number was called announcing that my order was ready for pickup. Wow! That was quick. Food presentation was great and the taste of each food item was FANTASTIC! I tried a little a sample of each item shown in the attached photos and I was extremely happy and satisfied with the taste, freshness and preparation of every ingredient. The avocado/guacamole fries were DELICIOUS! I had never tried such a combo and it was PERFECT! The chicken burrito was cooked and prepared perfectly, the nopales taco was a also a first for me and i instantly became a fan, the vegetarian torta was tasty, fresh and sooooo good! The horchata was so refreshing on a hot day. This was definitely a great dining experience.

    Special Request Chicken Taco "Amazing"
    Dar C.

    Always great, my favorite is a special request... Chicken Tacos with guacamole, sour cream and cheese... OMG when I say delicious, I'm not joking! Best Chicken Tacos around! Their Chicken Torta is really good too. I'm only giving 4 stars because my Husband always orders the the California Burrito but in my opinion, it's always way too greasy! Very clean establishment, fast service and friendly yet polite staff.

    I grew up in El Sereno and would always go to the original! I moved out to OC and rarely have a chance a to even get out to El Sereno to get a torta and super nachos so I was real sad until I found out there was a second one by my moms place! Now we go as often as we want and the food is always on point! Staff is nice, they got good AC, and they food is delicious just like I remembered it as a kid!

    Hard shell taco
    Robin I.

    King taco versus king torta...who will win? I've driven by this place a lot for lunch and decided to try it. Decent parking and there was no other customer. Ordered a few hard shell tacos and to my pleasant surprise they were delicious. The meat was cooked where it was slightly crispy and they had some spicy guacamole that packed good flavor in the taco. They're not too big but are tasty. Another pleasant surprise was their hot sauce. Comparable to the red sauce at King Taco the smoky heat tasted great! Overall a good place to grab some tacos if I'm the area!

    Yep. That's the slice of avocado

    Everything about this place is on point. From the asada soft tacos to the hard shell shredded beef…read moretacos to the pastor tacos and watermelon juice. I come here frequently... The asada is premium steak chunks that is superior to any other asada you would get from a regular taco spot. The watermelon juice is one of the most refreshing drinks one could get on a hot day. The hard shell crunchy shredded beef tacos are so huge, i got full off one on one visit to thus spot. The nachos are heavy as hell and totally worth ordering. The service can take a little bit if time if there is other cars in the drive thru... but, it's well worth the wait. If you hungry... this place will not disappoint. This will not only fill your hunger, it will change your life. Good food, great service, friendly employees. Try the Habanero hot sauce while you are there. That hot sauce is one of my favorites. Do yourself a favor and try this amazing fast food spot.

As you drive into the lot, you'll see 2 sets of drive thru's - both work. Kinda of like the old school In-N-Out's. I already knew I wanted the breakfast burrito with sausage. I also wanted to try the taquitos, but I held off and got an order of fries instead. After placing my order, I drove up to the window....I had no idea where to stop to be honest. Then I saw the register, so I stopped there. She employee read my order back to me, I paid and waited. It didn't take long. Got home and I dug in. Breakfast Burrito - it's thick. They filled that tortilla with beans, eggs, sausage and potato's. That tortilla was holding on for dear life. Look I'm a sucker for a good breakfast burrito and this one hit the spot. They didn't skimp out in the sausage and eggs. Most places fill it with beans and fillers. Rero's did not do that, it was a good ratio. Fries - look, you cant mess up fries. They gave you a huge box filled with them They also gave me a small bag of tortilla chips and they tasted a little stale. Like Chipotle chips. Overall good value and the burrito hit the spot. I would definitely come back

    I would've rated this a 5 star but had to knock one star off…read more I came with my family who tried the place just a day before and told us how amazing it was so we had to try it out. It was next to the mall so we can hangout before and after dinner. It was confusing, the building of the place is connected to another restaurant on the other side so we didn't realize until after parking and had to earl around to find the entrance. Upon entering, it was dark and resembled a bar setting, a little stuffy and loud. Luckily our table was outside so after sitting, it wasn't as loud. We were a pretty large group, we got chips and salsa on the table and our other half group was running a bit late. So we ordered for the whole table and kept a menu in case the m others want to order too. The reason for the one star off is how hard it was to get a server to help, we got plates for our food but no utensils, we wanted more chips but someone had to point out another server will help instead, and only one (maybe manager) was really helpful and quick but we only saw them once. Maybe it was busy so they were all working but we felt a bit ignored for a while. My uncle wanted to order a breakfast dish but we didn't realize breakfast was only until a certain time because our server said no breakfast. We ordered a lot of food too, enough to bring back for us all to have lunch the next day. We got Tablón el Paisa, Molcajete regular, and other dishes across the other table. The cheese was super delicious when hot, once it's cold it's hard to share without a knife. My favorite is the quesadilla I used to make a burrito out of all the meats and guacamole. The pork was delicious and my son ate a lot of it. The bacon shrimp was a bit hard, chewy, and dry, had to dip it in sauce. Everything else was delicious and would definitely comeback but on a less busy day to see if service is better! Restrooms were inside and so a bit of a walk from the patio into a log hallway.

Since then we've felt absolutely nauseous and my two sons eventually vomited this morning around 5:00AM. My boys had the kids pizza with fries and a free ice cream that came with the kids order, I ordered the taquitos appetizer. The only food items all three of us shared were the chips and salsa, the french fries that came with the pizza, and the ice cream. Have never liked El Pescador, only went to watch the Mundial, but now getting possible food poisoning has been the icing on top. Will not be eating here any time soon, hopefully ever again. Also, total was like $50 for a kids meal and appetizer, which genuinely weren't good. I took the majority of our food home as left-overs.
