We had breakfast and supper today from La Parrillada. Breakfast was amazing as I mentioned last time. If you are in that mood where you want to order in, La Parrillada is a great choice. The packaging presentation was done professionally and the food preparation was appetizing. We were so happy with the delivery order. Their beef taco plate is delicious! Don't miss out! read more

I had such a special experience at La Parrillada de Covina, not only because of the food, but because of the story and people behind the restaurant. This woman-owned Mexican restaurant has been part of the Covina community for more than 20 years, and I loved learning that the recipes and traditions come from four generations. During my visit, I had the opportunity to meet Ana, the owner, and Lucy, who walked us through many of the dishes. We tried the queso fundido made with house-made chorizo and Mexican cheeses, guacamole con chicharrón that Ana prepared herself, café de olla, hot chocolate, eggs with chorizo, eggs with potatoes and bell peppers, menudo and pozole. And just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite, we finished with sweet plantains served with a sweet cinnamon cream. La Parrillada de Covina it's a place where food, family traditions and community come together. Definitely worth visiting if you're in Covina and looking for authentic Mexican food with a story behind it. read more

I hadn't been to this restaurant in years and recently remembered about it after seeing it on Instagram. The service is really great the staff is very friendly. I ordered the pina agua fresca and it was delicious! I also ordered the Chile relleno plate. The chile relleno was delicious. I was a little disappointed that the plate didn't come with rice, and instead came with salad aside from the beans. Beans were ok. Overall a great experience. Restroom was very clean. I definitely recommend this little gem in Covina. read more

This is mecican restaurant kinda a hidden gem. give driven past it many many times, not noticing it. I was recently invited to this restaurant for Sunday brunch. They offer champagne flights (three for $23) and terrific Mexican entrees. They have a pretty extensive menu. I tried their Menudo. The menudo was very tasteful, came with all the usually accompanying oregano, cilantro, lemon. My only dislike was the menudo was a dark color. I'm used to a light colored tripe, otherwise it was good. I akso ordered a side shredded beef taco which was amazingly perfect and fresh. My sister in law had the machaca breakfast, which she loved, and ate it all !!! Chips n salsa were also very good and served fresh. The customer service, once i was sat was exceptional. They quickly took our order, brought our drinks n food, and did not ignore. The staff kept checking to.make sure we were happy and if we needed anything. I will definitely visit again ! read more

I come here with my family for the menudo and pozole. I like the taste, I can tell the menudo gets very clean. The bowls are perfectly serve. The Menudo comes with hand made tortillas, onion, lime, Chile and oregano. The pozole comes with a taco and a tostada plus the extra toppings. We also have Fideo soup and we open with a queso fundido They also have freshly made aguas frescas which we loved, Watermelon and Tamarindo. This restaurant reminds me so much about the food I ate in Mexico when growing up! and of course the decoration is 100% Mexican vibes. read more

La Parrillada De Covina - Mexican Near Me - Covina, California

The portions for the $$ and the taste was not very good.. We had the menudo only 1 size offered. We had 2 horchatas ask for 1 refill and more tortillas since we only had 4 tortillas for 2 servings of menudo. The extra tortillas we asked for had only 2 we were charged $2.25 plus we were charged for a refill of horchata as well. Another $4.98 .. This meal ended up costing us $30 per person for a small bowl of menudo. The server could have told us they charged for refills and charged for the extra (2) tortillas.. You're better off going to brunch spot like Marie Callender's paying $29 per person and have bottomless mimosas.. and any additional drinks of your choice included read more

This place has always been a mainstay for me as far back as the 90's. It's an oldie but goodie with consistent flavors and service! For the last several Sundays I've door dashed their menudo and cafe de olla - always *chefs kiss* the best for a Sunday breakfast. Today we dined in - for the first time in awhile - and it was like coming home. The restaurant is festive with lots to look at and homage to cultura from floor to ceiling, left to right. I had a blended margarita and the enchiladas suizas - all well done, flavorful, and good! Past dishes I've had include the molcajete which was always piping hot, flavorful, and complimented by hand made tortillas. Service was excellent. I felt well taken care of and got to visit with the owner Lilly for some table side chit chat. We will definitely be back in person! read more

I had a very disappointing experience. I asked if my meal would be spicy and was told it was not, but when it arrived it was too spicy for me to eat. When I politely mentioned this, the server repeatedly insisted it was not spicy. I simply wanted to move on and leave. Additionally, I ordered a kids' meal that included a soda per the menu. The soda was flat, so I requested water instead, yet I was still charged for the soda. When I asked about the charge, the server told me "You know what? You need to leave. Just go." with a nasty stank face and attitude. I remained polite throughout, especially with my children present. As someone with restaurant experience, I understand issues happen, but the server's response felt unprofessional and made us feel unwelcome. read more

La Parrillada De Covina - Terrible customer service skills - Mexican Near Me - Covina, California

Heard good things about this place so we decided to check them out. We ordered a menudo on Sunday. It was watered down and the condiments they sent them in small ziplocks that I didn't feel comfortable eating them. The cup had more water down soup than the meat and hominy. We ended up getting sick from it. It was pricey to be honest. The employees do need more training . Sorry to say won't be coming here or recommending it to anyone. read more

Molcajete /seafood, no flavor. The only flavor you taste is the Juajillo chile sauce they put in. Fish has no salt or flavor. Shrimps are overcooked, without flavor. Lots of clams. Crab legs extremely salty, from one extreme to another. Also, it was served with old, over cook steamed vegetables, rice was dry and a little bit hard. Service was ok, ambience was ok, very colorful. 77 dollars for seafood molcajete, I found it expensive because food was not good at all, waste of money. Very disappointing! read more

Had the tamarind mojito, so tasty! I had Mojarra Frita, it was a large fish and very tasty also. Salsas were authentic, homemade tortillas. It was a very authentic family run restaurant.

We love it here! Not only are the meals wonderful, but this family owned restaurant is so genuine! Very friendly, very authentic, very decorative, very clean and very delicioso! Maybe a little bit on the pricier side, but this family pours their heart into everything here and it shows. I don't mind helping them achieve their American Dream. Open 365 days a year. You will love it! read more

Really upset with these people. I have been there before for breakfast and it was good. Their Cafe De La Olla WAS literally amazing. I emphasize WAS, as they never seem to keep the posted hours for business. They say they open at 8am daily, NOT! Today I brought 6 of my colleagues for breakfast at 8am. We waited until 8:45am and still no one was there to open. This has happened several times over the last few months. We couldn't wait any longer as we had a scheduled business meeting at 9:30am. I had referred a friend to go there the week before and he said the same thing, no one was there to open. He went in later that day and was told they open at 8am, but yet they were closed in the morning again. And Cafe De Las Olla was not available. So what gives? If they aren't going to open during the posted hours of operation, please re-post the correct hours so we aren't waiting needlessly. 4 or 5 stars is out of the question until they fix their corrected hours of operation. read more

From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us warmly, making it clear they genuinely care about their guests. I ordered the Mojarra Frita, and it did not disappoint--it was perfectly crispy, served piping hot, and generously meaty. An absolutely delicious dish. I'll definitely be returning for another great meal! read more

The food was delicious. My whole family enjoyed it. I specially loved it as they had a veg burrito with plantains and avocado smothered in mole. 100% yum. Super delicious margaritas and my favorite part of the visit was the guacamole cart they bring to your table to prepare the guac live in front of your table. Love the decor and ambiance as well. Very genuine kind staff attentive and great service. Perfect place for family group celebrations Great place with plant based veggie vegan vegetarian options. Can't wait to be back. read more

Excellent food and large portions !! Great Value and Great Service! Drinks are fantastic

Ordered the flautas with chicken and the house sangria. Cleaned the plate as it was a solid offering. Beans, rice, undressed salad (I mixed it in with the beans and rice), small cup of guac, and two flautas. No frills, but that's not what I eat for. Everyone here has been super friendly (even after I clumsily knocked over my sangria)! Only the second time coming, but we definitely plan on returning. read more

We had a couple of drinks and appetizers. Which were really good! The queso fundido with chorizo and chipotle were super good! It was Kerioke night so everyone was having a great time. Our waitress was Lizzie whom I give a 5/5 star as well. It was a bit hot due to the air not working but she turned and pointed the temporary cooler they had towards us and helped me put my hair up with a Bobby pin which was super cool of her! It's somewhat of an authentic Mexican restaurant which is really cool. They also have outside seating. All in all a great time was had by all! Will definitely visit this establishment again! read more

Came in the other day and the short lady owner that's there all the time gave us the biggest attitude after suggesting something to her. The food that we ordered took for ever to come out and when it did it came cold with no tortillas. Horrible experience will never come back here again. Good has small portions and the bill was high. Not with the money find another place read more

Service wasn't good, they took a long time to get our drinks and even longer just to get chips with salsa . It was just a weird vibe with television shows playing. I saw it in Tik Tok and they made it look good, but it was nothing like I expected. Food was jut mediocre, I wouldn't go back. read more

Relax, beloved Yelpers, just when you started to fret that perhaps your favorite Yelp Correspondent had gone the way of Blockbuster Video, Circuit City or Toys 'R Us ... I am back! Feeling profoundly grateful and replenished following an epic last couple of weeks where my bride of 26-plus years and I just returned following a truly majestic eight day, seven night cruise of the Hawaiian Islands. Today's review is actually culled from meticulous notes I took from our visit on SAT, March 4th. Our group of four, amassed of my beautiful bride of twenty six-plus years and our two (grown) boys, met here to celebrate the boys nineteenth and twenty-third birthdays. La Parillada de Covina became an instrumental stop gap measure for us this evening, because the nearby Lincoln Room refused to let us enter because they've a strict "21-plus only" policy and Casa Moreno in the historic old town Covina district had a 75-minute wait at 6:30pm on a SAT night, aka "date night." Our accidental discovery of La Parillada De Covina (LPDC) was a glorious one! A colorful melange of bright colors, eccentric cultural tchotchkes and Mexican trinkets greets you with all of the sublety of, say, a Juan Gabriel or Elton John performance! We came on a SAT night, meaning it was karaoke night and our ears were anointed by celebratory sounds of a gleeful would-be Jenny Riveras and Alejandro Fernandezes as they wailed away on a parade of Mexican pop songs. The family who runs LPDC work hard and harmoniously to ensure your overall happiness. And their sheer work ethic is unrivaled. Wouldja believe their menu touts how the restaraunt remains open 365 days/year?! We ordered simply enough. My bride, still infatuated about her figure despite zero evidence to suggest she's anything to fret over, ordered Ceviche with Avocados, my oldest son ordered a steak platter that came with a trio of sides including thick spears of plantains and my youngest son and I both ordered matching dishes- 3-item combo of a cheese enchiladada and two crunchy tacos de machaca. The food was pretty good. The asada and machaca proteins arrived well flavored and cooked, yielding beefy goodness with every bite. My bride inhaled her ceviche and the plantains were thick and well fragranced with a sugary residue. The rice and beans were, however, below par. The type of under-seasoned sides that are mass-cooked in the titanic pots that your Abuela uses to steam her Tamales de Navidad in! The restrooms are clean and well stocked, the walls pronouncing upcoming special events. For its flair, family-friendly vibes and colorful decor, LPDC reminds me very much of the former SIETE MARES restuarant which used to occupy the corner of Dudley and Holt in Pomona. Similarly, LPDC also sells huge platters of seafood or grilled meats served family style, for reasonable prices. So long as you're not expecting a white-glove, sedate (read: "quiet") dining experience, then LPDC will leave your tummy full and your pocket not terribly disgraced. read more
