    Aguachiles Divorciados
    Abraham E.

    Came out on an early Saturday night. We just wanted to try out some aguachiles but experienced more than that. Music was loud, I would recommend some hearing protection for anyone. Please take care of your ears. Ample space for dancing and drinking. Our server was fine. The octopus was a bit chewy, the flavor of our dishes were good. We just wouldn't pay for the price again. Plenty of parking spots nearby.

    Tried Ola recently and really enjoyed it. The Mexican food was flavorful, fresh, and the portions were solid. The atmosphere was great, the music was actually good without being too loud, and the whole place had a fun vibe. Staff was friendly and everything came out pretty quick. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and recommend if you're looking for good Mexican food with a good atmosphere.

    I have been coming here for a little over a year. My friend and I like to come here to grab some food before we enjoy some nightlife in Covina. I always get the tour of the sea shrimp taco plate. It's $18 for four tacos. The tacos are good but I come back for the vibe. It's a good place to start the night. The music is ok but no one is ever on the dance floor. So we usually just eat then leave. They do have an extensive drink list. I gave tried the espresso martini and the lychee martini but I wouldn't recommend either one at all. The beer is ice cold and the service is somewhat slow but not terrible. Very polite and respectful, but I waited 20 minutes for the check to come last night. We can move a little better than that. A good place to start the night or watch a game. I would recommend coming in a Sunday at brunch time.

    Thanks to Erica at the bar I had suck a great time! A lot of TVs, Sound and music is good. And even though I wanted a regular consume (I should have read the menu) this shrimp and fish soup had great flavor plus on lunch it came with a Margarita. My friend had the taco plate and it was a lunch special with a Beer. I definitely will be returning to the place especially if Erica is working at the Bar or floor!

    OLA is located off Citrus Ave and parking is available all over but can be challenging during prime time hours. I appreciate that there's indoor and outdoor seating. There's plenty of seating and they offer TV for entertainment. It's suitable for all crowds. The music is a bit too loud for my preference. Customer service was accommodating. She made her recs which I appreciated. Portions are plenty and food had a ton of flavor.

    The food was absolutely amazing!! The service was fine. My only complaint is that it was so loud I had to sit right next to my sister and pretty much yell the whole time. It's like a club that's how loud it was.

    Such a fun place for date night. And it won't break the bank either. We ordered so much food for just us two, and we had so many leftovers. They price their food reasonably, but the quality of their seafood is superb. Everything is fresh. Portions are generous. And the servers are kind and attentive. It's definitely a neighborhood gem.

    Came here after a softball game and ordered Nachos, tacos, taquitos and drinks. Service was slow but they were nice. Vibe is for sure a sports bar. It was way too loud, however we enjoyed watching all the football games. Not a bad stop but also not my first choice.

    The salmon  and shrimp  was amazing as well the service....
    Christy B.

    The hostess was great cleaning us. We only had to wait two minutes. We were served with smile and felt hospital by everyone. I tried the salmon and shrimp. It was so amazing and tasty. Even Desper was tasty. I had a smoked old-fashioned with a smooth taste. It was amazing and the service from our waitress. Erica was amazing as well. Everyone she was like we were a family.

    This place was great, the ambiance was lively and our group stumbled upon a themed showing of a popular reality show (loveeed it). When we walked in we were greeted and told to choose a colored wristband- they'd call out a color and you'd raise your hand for a shot....how creative and FUN! They had a happy hour special with the shows themed drinks and they were not only cheap but delicious. I will definitely be coming back with some more friends!

He loved the burger and tots and said the mac n cheese was alright. I ordered the Cesar salad wrap with tots and I thought it was great! My only complaint was the chicken portion to salad was a little slim but, the crispy tots made up for it. The star of the show was the bread pudding! I'm not a huge fan of soggy bread but, this one was perfect. It had candied walnuts, caramel, vanilla ice cream and apples. Probably some of the best bread pudding I've had. Since we were starving, I didn't get food pics but, I would absolutely recommend dining here for a good time and good food.

This bar is located in downtown Covina on a street that's full of many other bars and restaurants. Luckily I was able to find parking right in front of the bar; otherwise I would be driving around for a while looking for parking. The first thing that I noticed as I walked inside was that there was no security/bouncer at the door. The bar was full of Dodgers fans that were decked out in Dodgers gear and then I saw my friend sitting at the bar, so I greeted her and sat down ready to order a drink. The bartender was this pasty middle-aged white guy who reminded me of Will Ferrell. I believe his name was James as I heard a patron next to me yell out to him. As I sat patiently for the bartender to acknowledge me and ask me for my drink order, he did the complete opposite and ignored me. Now I know that he saw me because he looked in my direction a couple of times but he acted like I wasn't even there. I gave him the benefit of the doubt at first because the bar was busy and a lot of people were ordering drinks. But this guy would walk by me and take drink orders from other people and I tried to get his attention many times, but he just ignored me. After about 10 minutes of waiting I got upset and I got up and went to the other side of the bar and the lady bartender working that side of the bar gladly took my order and I got my drink. And even though I got my drink, the damage was already done. James needs to be re-trained and learn that he needs to give customer service to ALL the customers that walk into the bar. Not just the ones that he knows and gives high fives to. To wrap this up, this bar left a very sour taste in my mouth and I won't be returning.

Also want to give credit to Mike, the general manager -- you can tell he runs this place with real pride and attention to detail.

As I pulled up to the parking lot, I noticed they had an outdoor seating area, which is really nice on hot days. It looked like a great spot to hang out with friends and enjoy a drink in the evening. When I went inside, I immediately liked the camping and outdoor vibes. The whole place has that rustic, lodge-style feel that makes it stand out. They had a bunch of pinball machines, which was a fun surprise, and there were murals all around the walls -- including ones of Lakers legend Kobe and the LA Dodgers. It definitely gives off strong local pride and a laid-back atmosphere. The inside is very spacious, with plenty of room to move around and a lot of TV screens, making it a solid spot to catch a game. I could easily see myself coming back to watch a Dodgers game there. That said, my experience at the bar wasn't the best. When I stepped into line to order, it seemed like the two beertenders were a bit distracted. There was a group of ladies sitting at the bar, and it felt like they were getting most of the attention. Usually, beertenders are welcoming and might ask something like, "Is this your first time here?" but the guy with the long mustache who served me gave off more of a "What do you want?" vibe. I asked for a taster, and he did provide one, but I didn't feel comfortable enough to ask to try anything else. At other breweries, I usually feel encouraged to explore the menu a bit more. Instead, I just winged it and ordered the Pink Lemonade Seltzer. It was okay, but compared to a lot of seltzers out there now, it wasn't very flavorful. It almost had a slight medicine-like taste. Because I didn't really feel the love from the beertenders, I ended up having just one drink and heading out. The space itself has a lot going for it -- great theme, fun games, plenty of TVs, and nice outdoor seating -- but I definitely think there's room for improvement in the customer service department. I might give it another try in the future, especially to catch a Dodgers game, but I'm hoping for a warmer, more welcoming experience next time.
