Homey vibe inside and service was fast. The waitress who took our order was also very friendly! Parking is a bit hard to get though. We got: - Silog breakfast bowl with lechon kawali (aka crispy pork belly): the pork was very crispy. I love the fatty part when u bite it it's crispy outside and chewy inside. - Salmon belly sisig: served on a sizzling plate and with some eggs mixed with it. We ordered ahi tuna sisig but they didn't have it so we opted for salmon belly. It has the citrusy flavor to it so I feel like ahi tuna would've tasted better, but this dish is still very delicious regardless. It was very addicting with the garlic rice too. Dont get it if you're not into sour food. - Oreo ube pancake: texture was different than American pancake. It was more bouncy which is more common in southeast asian cake (like a crumpet texture) and the ube sauce was perfect (not too sweet). read more

I've been to the other Lolas location in OC, and loved it there. West Covina is closer to me so I had to check it out. I got there around 10am on a Saturday and was seated right away. There was a few open seats, so don't worry about lining up on the weekends if you go early. I had the thai tea french toast, which came with a side of thai tea syrup to pour over the french toast. Delicious. The ube latte was good too. I'm avoiding caffeine at the moment, so I'm glad they had that drink option. Overall, a great brunch spot. It's where the New Haven Market is. read more

I keep wanting to sing Copacobana every time I see the name of this place. (Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl...) I digress. It was my first time here and I came here to treat my friend for a birthday brunch and we enjoyed our experience. When we arrived the restaurant was pretty full, but since we were only a party of two, there was one table in the corner available to us so we were seated immediately. Yay! Our server was friendly and gave great recommendations for drinks and entrees. My friend got the Thai Tea Cold brew and Salmon Belly Sisig, I ordered the ube cold brew and Iloko Moco with chicken adobo. We both enjoyed our meals. The Iloko Moco was shredded chicken on top of garlic rice with a gravy and two eggs sunny side up. Very flavorful and tasty, a bit on the saltier side, but overall a good dish. My food was served on a colorful plastic plate which felt a bit weird and gave it a cheap feel TBH. It was like eating off my kids' plastic Gerber dish that they used when they were babies. Yes I always want to feel and look young, but I don't want to feel like a toddler when I'm dining out. read more

This is a must try place. We ordered the pancakes flight. Ube, mango and avocado. The ube sauce is made with rich coconut cream, giving it an authentic flavor instead of the artificial "milk" taste that some places use. The mango sauce was delicious you can really taste the fresh mango purée in every bite. The avocado sauce was also excellent and adds a creamy, unique touch. Overall, these are some of the best pancakes I've ever had. We also ordered breakfast plate with Lechon. For me Garlic rice was dry but lechon was good. I highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

My family had visited Lola's before and wanted me to give it a try, so we stopped by on a Monday for brunch/early lunch. We were seated quickly upon arrival. Menus are available via QR code at the table, though physical menus can also be requested. Service seemed a bit stretched, as there was only one gentleman handling seating, drinks, and orders, along with two kitchen staff members helping run food. Adobo Rice Omelet ($14.95): Garlic rice with chopped chicken adobo wrapped in a thin egg omelet, topped with adobo gravy, fried garlic, and scallions. The chicken was a little dry, and the gravy leaned saltier than I prefer. This isn't a dish I'd order again. Iloko Moco ($19.95): Country fried steak over garlic rice with two eggs, finished with adobo gravy, green onions, and fried garlic. This was definitely the standout dish for me. The chicken was crispy yet tender, and the thinly sliced Thai chilies offered on the side added a delicious kick. Ube Pancakes ($14.95): Two pancakes topped with ube sauce and garnished with shaved almonds, toasted coconut, and powdered sugar. The pancakes themselves were a bit chewy rather than fluffy, but the ube sauce was absolutely phenomenal and made the dish enjoyable overall. Lola's is located in the same plaza as Haven City Food Hall and GW Supermarket, with a shared parking lot for several businesses. Parking can get pretty crowded during peak hours and some spaces are on the tighter side. read more

Tried this brunch place out for the first time, and it was really good! I would come back to try other things on the menu. My group got there at 10AM on a Sunday, and there was no line/wait. I did see a line start to form outside the door around 10:40 AM. Parking was easy to find at this time. The store is small and cute with lots of tropical vibes. Food was overall good! We ordered four dishes to share between three people: the silog breakfast bowl with tocino, poutine with longanisa, iloko moco, and Thai tea french toast. Portion size was good. We had some leftovers, which were enough for me to eat as my dinner later that day. My favorite was the poutine; it was so crispy and went well with the egg and longanisa! The only problem was that the tater tots got soggy after about 10 minutes so they were not as good afterward. The iloko moco and breakfast bowl were also good. For meats, i liked both the longanisa and tocino. The meats were flavorful and not too salty. I was not a fan of the Thai tea french toast because it was way too sweet for me. The Thai tea flavor was very strong. That being said, my brother liked it. He actually asked for additional maple syrup to pour on top of the French toast because he wanted it EXTRA sweet. If you have a sweet tooth, this may be the dish for you. read more

First time here. Cute and clean place, nicely decorated with a mural of Lola. Our server was friendly and attentive. Parking can be difficult as there are so many eateries in the same plaza. Located outside next to Haven City. Our food was so tasty and flavorful. My breakfast bowl with the crispy pork belly was so filling. The fat on the pork belly melted in my mouth. It was crisp just right not charred. Our server suggested Maggi on the garlic rice and he was right, it was delish! The salmon sisig was tender and had the right amount of seasoning. I have never had Filipino brunch and this was such a great experience. I can't wait to bring hubby here... will definitely be back. read more

First off, thank you to the workers for still letting us dine in even though we were cutting it very close time-wise . We ordered a ton of food, and everything was delicious! For drinks, I got the ube cold brew while my friend got the buko pandan cold brew. Totally biased, but I loved the ube one more -- and ironically, she did too . That's not to say the buko pandan wasn't good; the ube was just richer and creamier while the buko pandan had a more subtle flavor. I ordered the Chilaquiles Filipinas with longanisa and it was absolutely worth having longanisa burps for the rest of the day (iykyk). My friends got the silog breakfast bowl with longanisa and the two egg breakfast with lechon kawali. The kawali was super crunchy without being overly fatty, and shoutout to our server for bringing us extra mang tomas LOL. Now for the real star of the show: the ube pancakes. I still think about them. So fluffy, decadent, and delicious. HIGHLY recommend ordering them, especially with a savory dish to balance everything out. The restaurant itself had a fun, lively brunch vibe and was pretty busy when we went. Truthfully, the only downside was finding parking, but that's definitely not Lola's fault read more

Why haven't I been here sooner??? Went to Lolas after church because my husband was looking for a place with good waffle or pancakes. Saw that this place has a good pancake selection so suggested that we finally go and check Lolas out. We got seated right away since the lunch rush hasn't arrived yet. Cute little spot with pieces of the filipino culture sprinkled in their decor. We ordered their special salmon belly sisig (not yet on the menu), burger steak loco moco, fruity pebbles ube pancake, and the ube cold brew. O. M. G. Sooooooo good. All of it especially the salmon belly sisig (make it part of the menu please!). Check them out! They are open for brunch and totally a must try if you are in the area. read more

Such a delicious Filipino brunch spot! All the servers were soooo sweet and helpful. I loved all the decor. I suggest getting the cold brew flight! My parents and we were able to try all of their flavors. The ube French toast is a must! I got it with a side of chicken adobo. Deliciousssss! My dad got the bangus and omg it was amazing. My mom got a tocino. My dad loved it. My mom didn't really like that it was saucey. The nice waiter gave her a new tocino with less sauce which was nice and he definitely didn't have to do that. I'm definitely coming back with my husband and older daughter. I know they'll love it too. read more

Seeing all the positive reviews for this place, I've been wanting to try for myself and it did not disappoint! As soon as we entered, we were greeted warmly and promptly seated. The place was cozy and felt like we had stepped inside Lola's kitchen. Our server was friendly, made suggestions and came to check on us couple of times. I ordered the salmon sisig (which came with a side of garlic rice) and my friend got the longanisa plate. For the drinks, we ordered mango juice and Milo cold brew. Everything was delicious but the real highlight for me was the Salmon Belly Sisig. It came out on a sizzling plate and the portion was more than enough for two. It had the right amount of tartness and I liked the crispy bits on top for added texture. Highly recommend and would definitely be back! read more

I had a lovely experience at Lolas (West Covina). I ordered the Silog Breakfast Bowl ($15); I selected Longanisa (additional $2). The meal includes garlic rice, sunny side up egg, tomato salad, and a choice of meat (ex: beef tapa, chicken adobo, spam, etc). It's TASTY! The food is very fresh, well-prepared, and clean. I arrived at Lolas (West Covina) on Thursday (around 10:27AM). Parking is surprisingly easy because it's early; however, the lot is shared with the popular Haven City Market which is notorious for competitive, busy parking. Staff is exceedingly friendly, smiley, and personable. Staff regularly walked from table-to-table to chat and connect with customers. If you peak at my attached "interior photo," Staff sneakily snuck a happy pose. Staff is also efficient; I was helped immediately. The food took five minutes and 29 seconds!! EXTREMELY fast. As mentioned, I enjoyed the Silog Breakfast Bowl w/ Longanisa ($17). The food felt modernized for a more health conscious consumer; it lacked the saltiness typically associated with traditional Filipino food. Curiously, the Longanisa lacked the familiar "SNAP" when bitten into; rather, it offered a very soft, tender body usually found at a BBQ restaurant. These sausages were different but pleasant; they're sweet, plump, and gentle. Its rice is also a little dry, but it successfully carried the loving flavor of fresh garlic. Still, the cooked sunny side egg is the meal's showstopper, perfectly prepared and seductive. All in all, this meal arrived with a very picturesque and attractive appearance. It's a gorgeous and tasty dish. Concerning ambiance, Lolas (West Covina) is sleek and clean. The air felt fresh and well-ventilated. There's many tables, and the music is strong and upbeat like a nightclub. I appreciated the greenery and lovely artwork on its wall. Overall, I had a lovely experience at Lolas (West Covina). The food is delicious, fresh, and cooked lovingly. I found pleasant memories at Lolas (West Covina). If you enjoy Filipino food, this is an easy recommendation. 5 out of 5. "Just go." read more

I want to try EVERYTHING on the menu. We discovered and came in today by accident and as Bob Ross would say, "It's a happy accident" The inside is beautiful and gives you all the island vibes, including the music. The fusion of Filipino and islands is EVERYTHING. Beautiful decor. The service absolutely sweet and top notch, and the food arrived so quickly. He got the sizzling tuna sisig and it was absolutely bomb. And served with garlic rice! I got the country fried steak adobo loco moco and it did not disappoint. Crispy, flavorful,garlic, sauces but not overly sauced. Over garlic rice and two perfect cooked eggs. It didn't stand a chance to be ALL eaten. Cannot wait to come back to try breakfast!! Also, the Ube cold brew coffee is heaven. read more

Lola's Modern Kitchen -- Brunch with Flavor & Vibes Jackie and I pulled up to Lola's for brunch and okayyyy... it was already buzzing even though we went early. You could feel the energy right when we walked in. Plants everywhere, modern but still cozy. It's giving cool tita house but elevated. Our waitress was on point -- greeted us, sat us down, wiped the table. Smooth start. Menu is QR code style, super easy, no waiting around flipping pages. Jackie went with the garlic fried rice + longanisa with cherry tomatoes and sliced red onions. That plate was hitting. Sweet, savory, garlicky -- 9/10 easy. I ordered the Iloko Moco (country fried steak smothered in adobo gravy over garlic rice) and added a side of tapsilog because why not go big? Man... 10/10. That adobo gravy was different different. Comfort food but leveled up. We had to tap into the pancakes too -- avocado and ube. Both solid 8/10. Almond and coconut flakes on top, saucy but not overly sweet. Soft, fluffy, photogenic -- brunch approved. Drinks? No misses. Jackie's ube coffee -- fire. My calamansi juice and ube horchata -- refreshing, smooth, not overly sugary. 10/10 across the board. Overall: good food, good energy, good service. The kind of spot you bring friends to when you're trying to put them on something. Jackie and I already said we're spinning back. Salamat, Lola's. You did that. read more

OBSESSED!!! I looooove the Anaheim location and I am a frequent flyer there but this was my first time at the West Covina location and I had such a great time! The vibes here are lighter and brighter and I like it! Similar setup but the more importantly the food is still SO good. We tried the ahi tuna sisig for the first time and it was pretty good! Always try to get the brunch kamayan if i have someone to share it with cuz it's so so yummy! also not pictured is the Thai tea cold brew. That is pretty sweet, but luckily up my alley, so it was delicious to me! The staff here are always great and super kind. If you have any hesitations about ordering something, just ask for clarification on the ingredients or taste so you know what you're getting yourself into lol. If you're a fan of the Anaheim location, you'll be a fan of this location as well. So hyped for them to be in this area! read more

What an amazing place to eat filipino cuisine! The staff is super kind and recommended their salmon sigsig,which is not on the menu and their crispy pork. We also ordered the thai tea french toast. Salmon sigsig was so tender and juicy, just the right amount of seasoning. Crispy pork was perfect, with the fat rendered to the point it melts in your mouth. Thai tea french toast was so satisfying. It isn't overly sweet, and the salted butter combined with the thai tea flavor, just makes you smile. Please support this amazing place! The entire staff was so welcoming and making sure we enjoyed every bit. You can tell a lot of the customers are part of this beautiful community. read more

We got this order to go. We ordered a Silog Breakfast Bowl with Chicken and my bf got the Jeepney Breakfast burrtio. The breakfast bowl was pretty nice, it taste very home made, but the flavors were all pretty interesting since I never had filipino breakfast before! Chicken is more on the sour side, but that's because of the flavoring. Garlic rice was really nice! The tomatoes were also kinda sour, but didn't really mind it. My bf had the breakfast burrito, which he said the first few bites were pretty plain. It does taste better when you have a bite with the sauce that's inside, which I thought was pretty good! My critique on it though, is that everything inside the burrito was quite chunky, so if it was cut up more, I would have personally liked it more. Although, the sauce with the cheese was pretty nice with it. Overall, solid filipino breakfast option in the area! Should definitely dine here next time since it looks like a cute spot! read more

Had a girls day out with my sis in law with her mom and my mom. We came here for lunch and the parking is horrible. You are fighting for a spot with people going to the food hall so be prepared. The restaurant is located next to the claw machine place. Food was great! We ordered the Brunch Kamayan. It definitely fed us 4 with some left overs. If the husbands were in our place, we would probably ly need to order at least another dish. Everyone like at least 2 of the 4 meats, but every single meat was like by atheist 1 person. With all our different taste buds, we all enjoyed the meal. Everything was delicious! The drinks and food are . Will definitely come back to try the other dishes. I had the Lola's Milk Tea made with Buko Pandan... it was soooo good. A mush try. We did order a sandwich togo for my brother but don't have a review for that. Just know that the sandwich is thick.

A modern Filipino Brunch spot in the city of West Covina. The place has a welcoming vibe. Place is clean and our server check on us often. Ordered the pancake kamayan flight, a combination of 3 pancakes of your choice from their menu. I had ube pancake, mango and avocado. The plating is very cute and the taste did not disappoint. It was really good. I would love to come back and try the rest of their specialty pancakes. Their ube horchata was too sweet for me, next time I'll give calamansi juice a try. Their breakfast burrito with beef tapa is highly recommended. I like that it comes with crunchy chicharron on the side. It was a perfect combination. Not a fan of the breakfast poutine with chicken adobo, the vinegar flavor of the adobo kinda over power it, might be better with a different topping selection. They have great menu selection . Will definitely be coming back. This place is worth a visit. Just be patient when finding parking spot. It is in the Haven City complex so it is a busy area. read more

Lola's By MFK is new breakfast and brunch place in West Covina. It's a modern casual dining that offer traditional fresh Filipino cuisine as well as classic American breakfast such as Pancakes and French toasts. Their menu is compendious that customers will surely love. Interior layout was modest with a dash of Philippine culture. I love the portrait of their Lola at the front corner. I came today for Brunch after a late night Yelp Elite Holiday Awards at Whittier in which I won an award. They were one of the food vendors that's why I came....prolly bec of a girl. Lol. Anyways, back to this review. I perused their brunch menu and opted for a Bang-siliog (Milk fish meal) and drip coffee. Food was delightfully fresh and tasty. Coffee was good. Staff were great and affable especially that young adorable lady. Food portion was above average; prices were fair. Service was spot on. Overall, I enjoyed eating at Lola's.

Came here with my bestie because we were craving some Filipino food and wanted a cute sit-down spot to try something new. She's obsessed with longanisa, so I already knew that had to be part of the order. First impressions: service was super friendly, the place is small but really cute, clean, and welcoming. Parking is easy since it's in the plaza at Haven City--huge plus. I decided to try their milkfish because I kept seeing posts about it and got excited. Unfortunately... it wasn't what I expected. The texture was nice and fluffy, but it was so underseasoned that no amount of sauce could save it (unless that's how it's traditionally meant to be?). It tasted really bland, and even the tomato and cucumber salad on the side had no flavor. Sadly, my dish was a letdown--6/10 for me. My bestie's longanisa dish was better. She said the longanisa was good, rice was fine, and overall she'd give it a 7/10. Not amazing, but solid. Service and ambiance were definitely the highlights--friendly staff, cute spot, and easy parking. Food-wise though, it didn't fully hit for us. Probably not a place I'd go back to for the food, but I'm glad we tried it once! read more

We went here 2 weeks ago for an early celebration for my husband's birthday with family. We arrived about 12PM and were seated quickly since there was no wait. We were a party of 9. We were greeted as we walked in by the entire staff. The restaurant is a bit small and they are only open for breakfast and brunch from 8:30-2PM. To note, you can hold a big group dinner/party after hours if you request online for the kamayan dinner. I ordered the Silog Breakfast Bowl with Birria. It comes with garlic rice, tomato salad and a sunny side up egg. For my drink, I ordered the Calamansi Hibiscus Agua Fresca. I loved the presentation! The color contrast really made the plate pop. The flavor was all there with the birria. However, it was a bit dry. Normally, a side of consommé is served or offered with birria, but here I didn't see the option. For me, I would have liked to have it with this dish. I finished half of my plate and took the rest home. The drink was the right balance of refreshing and not too sweet. The drink was not too sweet. Our server was very helpful and recommended good menu items for our entire party. The restaurant and restrooms are very clean. I would come back to Lola's to try more items in the future. read more

Fantastic new spot for delicious Filipino brunch-style food! I found this restaurant on Yelp and it did not disappoint. When I visited, they were still in their soft opening phase, but everything--from the decor to the vibe--was already great. Service was super friendly and made me feel right at home. Here's what I tried: Pandan Cold Brew - Very tasty and on the sweeter side, with a nice caffeine kick. Refreshing and flavorful. (4.5/5) Pancake Sampler - Such a fun option! You get to pick three pancake flavors for $20. We went with the mango, ube oreo, and nutella pancakes. All were delicious, but if you had to choose, I'd recommend the ube and nutella--both were incredible. (5/5) Silog Breakfast Bowl - A perfect breakfast bowl. The garlic rice had just the right amount of flavor without being overpowering. I chose Tocino as my meat and added two Longanisa sausages for $5. Both were delicious, but the Longanisa really stood out--one of the best I've ever had. (5/5) It looks like they have even more items coming for their full launch, so I'll definitely be back. I don't eat Filipino food often, but this was easily the best Filipino brunch I've had so far. Parking: Located in the Haven City Market lot--easy to find parking in the morning, but it can get crowded later in the day. Street parking is a good backup. read more

LOVE LOLAS! The owners were so nice and sweet, it's apparent how much they love what they do. Loved all the details in their decorations, it really felt homey and comforting, and I appreciated the nod to Filipino culture. Oh, and the music was such vibes! The owner was great at giving recommendations on the menu, since it was our first time. Everything we had was DELICIOUS, you seriously cannot go wrong in anything you order. The chicharrón was the best I've ever had, and the ahi sising was AMAZING. Remembering the topsilog with the tomato salad is causing my mouth to water as I type this. And to round out our experience, the owner's wife gave us a sample of their ube brownie cheesecake and it was to die for. Perfect mix of brownie and cheesecake with just enough ube flavor. I could not recommend this spot more if you've been curious about it, it will not disappoint! read more

Stopped by Lola's by MFK in West Covina for brunch (takeout)--such a cute brunch spot in the Haven City Plaza. Our server, Dom, was super friendly and gave great recommendations. We ordered the Brunch Kamayan, plus the Thai Tea Cold Brew and Ube Horchata. Love, love, love the Thai Tea Cold Brew--so smooth and perfectly balanced. The Brunch Kamayan was packaged beautifully in a tray lined with banana leaves to keep the full kamayan feel. It came loaded with all the classics: garlic rice, tocino, longanisa, beef tapa, chicken adobo, lumpia, tomato salad, fruit, sunny-side-up eggs, fried garlic crumble, scallions, and microgreens.

I used to go to Lola's in Anaheim all the time so I'm really happy they're starting to expand! Lola's is one of my go-tos for a comfort Filipino brunch. Came to this location on a Sunday morning. Parking can be a bit crowded since this is next to the popular Haven City Food Market. My party was seated right away. The inside is spacious, clean, with a cool chalkboard that has Filipino phrases. My friends and I got the Brunch Kamayan to share. Brunch Kamayan 8/10 - if you can't decide what to eat, then this is what you should get! Perfect for small parties of 3-4 with plenty of variety so you can sample many different things. Easy to share and everything is delicious. The service here is always top notch.

The wait was minimal. It's first come first serve. They keep you outside until your table is ready so that it doesn't bottleneck inside. The interiors are cute - the mural of a lola with her apo was nostalgic. The food came quickly. My son loved his Nutella Abuelita French Toast - it wasn't too sweet. He also snarfed down their chicharon, which was freshly cooked and sizzled when dipped in their vinegar. The adobo omelet needs improvement. I didn't like the sauce, and I felt the flavors didn't marry the way they were supposed to. However it was a good idea in need of better execution. Loved the visual of it. The bangus sisig was ok - there was more mayo and egg than there was bangus. What also bothered me was that they gave us this serving of garlic rice in a tiny plate whose diameter was a mere 5 or 6 inches. It felt cramped having to eat the sisig in that plate - and I didn't want to have to ask for a bigger plate because I was already hungry. I know they are sorting themselves out because it's their soft opening so I'm sure they'll get a better rhythm a few months from now. We loved the servers and the concept. I totally look forward to returning sometime later this year. read more

Melt-in-your-mouth goodness, every single time! Lola's by MFK is the newest gem in West Covina, located right next to Haven City Marketplace on the left side near Ten Shabu. This is their second location (the first one's in Anaheim, which I still need to check out!). As a local Covina resident, I'm so excited to finally have a bomb Filipino brunch spot close to home. I've visited a couple of times during their soft opening. On a Monday morning, it was nice and quiet with just a few other tables. When we came back on a Sunday around noon, it was packed, but we were still seated right away. It was difficult to find parking though. What we ordered... Drinks: Calamansi Juice - Refreshing and perfectly tangy! Mango Juice - Sweet, simple, and delicious. Ube Horchata - Creamy, dreamy, and a must-try. Pandan Cold Brew - Yup, definitely a favorite! Food: Maple Glazed Spam Pancake (not on the menu, but ask your server!) - 10/10. Sweet, savory, and totally unique. Wish there was a little more spam though! Iloko Moco - My boyfriend's absolute favorite! Bangus Sisig - My personal go-to. Super savory and packed with flavor. Adobo Omelette - 8/10. Tasty but a bit saucy for my liking. Tapsilog - Out of this world! Ube French Toast - A must-order every single time. Bonus: I heard they'll be adding a selection of alcoholic drinks to their grand opening menu so can't wait to come back and try those! The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, paying plenty of homage to Filipino culture. Cozy vibes, great service, and food that hits every time. Overall: So happy Lola's by MFK opened in West Covina. We'll definitely be regulars here! read more

I wanted to like this place. I love a good Filipino food joint, and especially one that focuses on breakfast fare. And to be fair, the food was good--great even. My Tosilog Bowl was tasty, filling, and left me wanting for more--even if it came to the table a bit cold. I would definitely order that plate of joy again. Even at $17. The ambience was also super inviting and on par with a place that wants you to feel welcome. Spaced out, good music playing, nice lighting that's more subdued and not harsh--it's a great environment to conduct eating and gathering related functions. The problem is the service. It was some of the least attentive and helpful I've encountered. One of the simplest things I want a server to do at breakfast is notice when I need a refill of coffee or another drink, or notice when I'm having a problem or request. I spent so many minutes here trying to flag down a coffee refill that it really disrupted my good feelings about trying a place with buzz that was new to me. And even when I was able to get my request in, it still took them minutes to get me coffee because they hadn't bothered to start a new pot or pots after it had run out. That's like restaurant breakfast service, ABB, always be brewing. Coupled with that, I just saw the same two members of staff standing idly by when I was trying to grab their attention. This doesn't seem to be the place for customer service. Which is a shame, like I said. I so wanted to love this place because the food is just so appealing. That's one of the best Tocino dishes I've had even not super piping hot from the kitchen. But all the aggravation and frustration trying to be heard and get my coffee filled left me tired. I think I'm worse for having gone here--fuller, satisfied hunger-wise but with a sense of not at all liking the experience of having a meal there. The food is all I recommend about this place. read more

Lolas By MFK - I never felt so wicked As when I willed our love to die Tosilog Bowl from #LolasbyMFK - Filipino Near Me - West Covina, California

Welcome to West Covina, Lola's by MFK! Lola's is located next to Kawaii Klaws. They are in their soft opening phase at the moment. The hours are Thursday - Monday from 8:30am to 2:00pm. I'd never had a chance to try them at their Anaheim location, but now we get them in West Covina. First impressions, the restaurant is very clean and the tables and ambiance of all their Filipino inspired decorations are memorable. There is artwork of a Lola (grandma) and her apo (grandchild) on one end a welcome sign with common Filipino phases and translations on the other. The table settings have your well known Filipino condiments such as vinegar, banana ketchup, and Maggi seasoning! The menu is via a QR code and very extensive. I'll attach some screen shots of the menu. Many brunch options such as appetizers, breakfast bowls, pancakes and unique coffees and cold brew drinks to name a few. I went with the Lumpiang Shanghai its 8 pieces and priced at $10. I also ordered one of the Silog Breakfast Bowls (+15) with Tocino (+2). The staff was kind and hospitable the entire time. You feel welcomed the moment you step in. The food came out quickly and the presentation of each dish was great. It felt like eating at home. The lumpia was crispy, crunchy and savory! Then the Tocino bowl came out. SHEEESH!! Their presentation was extraordinary. Perfectly cooked egg on top of the garlic rice and the tocino flavor was on point. Everything that you remember as a kid eating breakfast at home. The bowl was a solid option for me and one I'd recommend to others to try. There are so many options on their menu I would already plan to come back sooner than later. Overall, a great experience for me and the food exceeded my expectations. Come in and try some delicious Filipino food! Thanks, Lola's West Covina! Good luck! read more
