So tasty I forgot to take a picture of the whole pie
Angel V.

When I used to live in S El Monte I loved going to this place, pizza feels so premium and the cheese is good. It's a chill spot but heads up go with some $$$ it's a small business that needs to survive. Especially here in California where a lot of them end up closing shop. Ordered online takeout and my order was ready as soon I walked in. Definitely want to try and come to watch a football game !!

What's left of the family special Xl pizza

Came in today to celebrate my birthday here service and pizza was top flight bomb not stingy on the toppings my family enjoyed the family special which included pizza wedges and a 2l . Got a side order of wings top flight. The bald homie with the chain gave more than excellent service to me and my family assured that everything was great give that man a raise .

The pizza sizes are huge! With that said, the food isn't the tastiest. I come here with my team to celebrate after our games. The chicken wings were kind of dry. Derives have always been great. Friendly staff. Good sports restaurant! Parking is on the smaller side with all the stores sharing parking.

Small pepperoni and sausage
Cynthia V.

This place has the best pizza in the area. We got a small pepperoni and sausage, and it was crispy, cheesy, and flavorful without being greasy. The crust was soft on the inside, and the sausage actually had some spice to it. Super friendly service too. Definitely our new go-to spot.

Pepperoni Pizza!!

Best Pizza in the San Gabriel Valley! This is an update on my previous post. I finally went in today to Rio's Pizza South El Monte and let me tell you it did not disappoint! Pamela was so nice it was a pleasure meeting her and her daughter Paloma! Mozzarella sticks were bomb! Pizza was DELICIOUS!!! Let me tell you they are generous on the toppings the crust was delicious too! My kid pulled a slices off and said "Mom it looks like the commercials with the cheese!" We had the pepperoni pizza two slices in and we were stuffed!! Skip Domino's and instead order from Rio's! They even have a DJ on Sunday afternoons.! Don't sleep on this place go and try it. Oh and Pamela you were right! No heartburn! I'm sold!

I just wish they had more T-shirt options because their sandwiches are so freaking good I'd wear their t-shirt' Hey. Guess what. They have more t shirt options now that are bad-ass. Can I say bad-ass? I just realized my entire review is about their merch...This time I got the curry chicken sandwich. I initially got it because curry chicken sandwiches always have a sweet element and most places do raisins or apples. Here, they did peach, and I was like, 'damn. I want to try this.' But when I bit into it, the star of the freaking show was the peppercini!! What!??! That vinegary balance with a tiny kick. Mmmm, yeah. Super good that I ate way too much in one sitting.

Cream cheese and potato chips? Somehow it all worked. Sad it is gone. My coworkers love the Prime Rib and BBQ Brisket. I don't recommend the Tuna Salad Sandwich or the Italian. Tuna was dry and the Italian had heavy amounts of olives. We order delivery at 11:AM and don't normally get our sandwiches until 1:30PM. Wait is probably even longer if you are there in person.

Living in the SGV area for over 30 years and never knowing about Tito's Market until now is one of…read moremy biggest regrets as a foodie. Though their sandwiches are not the fanciest sandwiches, Tito's Market make solid sandwiches. I arrived at Tito's Market with a party of 4 on a Sunday. It was around 12:30PM and a lunch line had started from the cashiers that went to the refrigerators. The line was pretty fast though and it seemed like patrons knew the gist and tables emptied out just as they finished their meals. My group ordered 4 of Tito's hot sandwiches: milanesa de res, lomo de res, and two ribeye. All large/full sizes. My group also ordered one of each of their empanades (beef, chicken and cheese) and a side order of fries. I had the lomo de res and was able to sneak a bite of each of the sandwiches. Although the sandwiches looked fairly identical, all the meats were noticeably unique. The lomo de res (filet mignon) was very tender, but I have to admit that the ribeye was my favorite from the 3. Fries breaded and a great addition to the meal. Empanadas were also very tasty. The meat was ground meat and are the doughy (rather than flakey) kind. Expect a cheese pull moment with their cheese empanada! The only quip that I have with the empanada was that they left a pretty gnarly oil stain in the bags they were packed it. I felt pretty guilty at the sight. Water is available if you ask for cups, but they also have a variety of imported drinks. As the name mentions, they have a small grocery store as well that takes up a third of their shop. Tito's market had plenty of seating when we came in. It seemed packed, but people did their due diligence, cleaned up and left after having their meal. Parking was fine although the spaces are on the smaller side (if you have a SUV or bigger.) There seemed to be plenty of parking when I visited, but there was curbside parking as well.

I placed an order online at Tito's expecting a convenient pickup experience, but unfortunately,…read morethings didn't go as planned. I ended up waiting approximately 20-30 minutes. When I followed up with a male employee about my order, his response came across as dismissive, essentially telling me I would have to wait. What made the situation more frustrating was seeing at least three customers who arrived after me receive their orders before mine. When my order was finally ready, I noticed it was incorrect before leaving and had to return it to have the mistake corrected. I understand that restaurants get busy and mistakes happen. However, respectful communication, keeping customers informed about delays, and checking orders for accuracy can make a big difference in the overall customer experience. Overall, my experience at Tito's was disappointing because of the extended wait, the interaction with staff, and the incorrect order. I hope management takes this feedback into consideration, as improvements in these areas would make the pickup experience better for future customers.

If you have been craving a place that serves soft scrambled eggs then this is your spot…read more Soft scrambled eggs are not something you come across often. Most places overcook your scrambled eggs. These were well seasoned, good texture and very flavorful. I ordered the ham and cheese and added avocado was such a good choice. The bread is so tick and buttery but the sandwich has the perfect bread to filling ratio. I also ordered the loaded tots with a runny egg but ended up getting them with scrambled eggs idk if I wasn't clear but either way I was happy because they were so good. The tots were perfectly crisp and well seasoned, packed with flavor. My only critique would be it needs chive because it's very rich. I also ordered the Biscoff latte and actually finished it. I am known to not finish my iced coffee but this one was well balanced not too sweet not too too strong just perfect. I do wish I would've got the cookie crumble on top but either way it was delicious. The guy at the front was very friendly and helpful making recommendations as it was my first time there. This location has seating inside and a small outdoor seating area. Pleasant experience can't wait to try other items on the menu. I hope they bring locations to the IE soon.

So Fresh & Delicious!…read more I tried C&R Fresh Foods for the first time a week ago. I did some research on Yelp to see the menu and recommended options. I was craving a wrap so why not come give em a try. The parking lot has plenty of spaces as it located on the long strip mall in this part of West Covina. The location is pretty chill and quiet outside of the TV playing soccer. The staff who took my order was friendly and allowed me to try sample some smoothies. I came there for the BLT wrap with avocado. My order was served within a few minutes. The staff offered jalapeños on the side as well and constantly checked in with me. I was happy with this wrap! The freshness of the veggies and the crunch from the bacon was perfect. One specific detail I'd have to mention was the cream cheese they use in the wrap. It elevated that wrap it to a new level and brought out all the flavors. I'd return again just for this item. Good customer overall with great food. Come by and try out C & R Fresh Foods! ( ^_^)b

One of the best sandwiches in all of SGV!…read more Claro's sandwiches are LOADED with meat, cheese, and all kinds of deliciousness! My favorite is the Cousin K sandwich with extra red onions. The large sandwich is good for at least two meals as they are HUGE and so filling! If you're worried about carbs, Claro's will turn your sandwich into a salad at your request. Their salads are also loaded with meat(s), cheese, and tons of lettuce and tomatoes (and other additions you request). I always call in my order for sandwiches, and they've always been ready when I've arrived. Parking is plentiful in the lot right across the street from Claro's, and all the employees I've dealt with have been pleasant and helpful.

From what I've tried, it's much better quality products than the usual, less processed and fresher.

Their cookies are pretty good and the gelato is yummy! All in all, highly recommend Claros!
