This is long overdue. Draft needed to be shared hehe. Been here several times now and it's always delicious and made with attention to detail. Eduardo the owner is ALWAYS very attentive and full of joy to serve us. He checks on us to make sure everything is ok with our orders. Kiren the other owner has been awesome too, since our first visit. She was concerned my daughter wasn't eating. Also, always checking in on us. She remembered us the second time we came and asked if my daughter if she was doing better because the first time we were there she had morning sickness so she couldn't enjoy her food. I love finding hidden GEMS, especially Mexican restaurants, with real Mexican food!! What can I say ?! We love it ! Five times here. No regrets. Always good. Food is delicious! Service is AWESOME! Always so friendly, warm, & helpful since the first time we found them. . :D Can't believe it took me so long to find this hidden gem living nearby and around here all the time. How did I find it ?? Well, how do I, and we all, find all my / our favorite restaurants? I Yelped of course !!! :D I was in the area looking for a good place to eat. I yelped Mexican food and TA DA ! I would have never found it, since it's sort of hidden in an area less traveled, in the shopping center across from the West Covina Mall, behind sushiholics & The Bundt place. Same center where Panera is & Sushiholics, except it's on the back side street, on California Ave. I would have never walked over there, on the backside of the shopping center. Just happy to have found it now! Besides GREAT SERVICE, GREAT FOOD ! We are suckers for birria. So 1st time here we had birria chilaquiles with over medium eggs plate, quesabirria, and ramen birria hehe ! YUMMM Yes, it was good, a little spicy for me, but good. I always have to clarify how I want my eggs at restaurants because believe it or not some cooks don't understand that over medium means soft yolks. They sometimes bring me over hard and that's not what I ordered. Over medium eggs have to be just right! No runny whites and no hard yolk. I explained that to Eduardo when ordering because I didn't want hard or soft; runny & gooey whites ewww. So I'm always very specific. Eduardo said no problem, if we don't get them right we can remake them for you. :D Woohooo ! They were perfect! Not many places get it right the first time, so they always remake them, but not here ! PERFECTION !! Thank you Eduardo!! I was happy ! Can't forget about the coffee!!! Oooh coffee! We love coffee so when the owner told us iced coffee ! Whoa ! Our eyes lit up ! YESSSSS please! It was good as well and when she saw we had finished it, she offered us a free refill. Thank you my new friend! You're the best !!! You made our day !!! We were like we're coming back !!! 2nd time, I had bulgogi breakfast bowl with over medium eggs ! I love eggs with beef ! Who doesn't ?! lol Eggs were perfect ! Beef was perfect too ! My grandson ate all my bulgogi though lol! I guess he liked it too. 3rd time on Friday 7/25/25 Eduardo always very cheerful & welcoming :) I ordered the chicken salad lunch, daughter ordered the green pozole! She's a sucker for green pozole hehe. I loved my salad! It was perfect! The chicken was perfect, pulled pieces with a green dressing that was whoa soooo YUMMMM ! This is making me hungry now. Daughter said pozole was good too Of course we will be back !! Need to try to yellow curry ! Next couple times had to order some previously had dishes like Birria ramen, tacos, pozole and chicken salad. Eduardo also accommodated my grandson, as he loves chicken but we get him grilled chicken. So he made a kids version of the chicken salad and it was just perfect and delicious too. PS good spot for kids too. They have a Foosball table ! So when they get antsy, they can go play! Kids love it and play every time. Great thinking! Thank you for this addition to your restaurant ! It's a plus for us with little ones because it helps with their impatience. This is GOLD !! Thank you Eduardo and Kiren ! We will be back next time we're looking for yummy Mexican food or are nearby. Have you tried ? Let me know if you stop by. I'd love to know what was your favorite dish. Happy eating & happy Yelping ! SYOY or IG ;) PS Support small family owned pro American businesses. IYKYK ;) Our communities need to thrive and it's up to us to help our community have the best services & places to eat. McDonald's isn't going anywhere and neither is Taco Bell or Starbucks.

I've been wanting to try Sabino's Kitchen for a while because the sign outside always advertises a weekday special and it really caught my attention. I finally went, and I'm honestly a little disappointed. The first red flag was realizing we weren't even offered that special. We ordered straight off the regular menu without anyone mentioning it, which made me question why it's promoted so heavily outside. Our waitress was very kind, but the drinks were almost undrinkable. I'm really trying not to be harsh, but I don't know what happened with them because they tasted off in a way that made me feel like it wasn't worth the money. I ordered enchiladas and flautas and they were just okay, nothing bad but nothing memorable. What really got to me was how cold everything felt, especially the beans. Cold beans in a dine-in restaurant just don't make sense. Nothing on the plate was hot enough to feel freshly made. While we were eating I also noticed the restaurant had this strong dirty mop smell, almost like a towel that's been sitting too long. It was hard to ignore and it affected the whole experience. From my seat I could even see some seasonings and part of the kitchen through a curtain and it made me uncomfortable because it didn't feel very controlled or clean. I went to check the restroom and that honestly confirmed it. It wasn't clean at all, which confused me because the place wasn't busy. If it's slow, cleanliness should be the easiest thing to keep up with. I tried to distract myself by playing foosball, which I thought was a cute touch, but the table was broken too. It's little things like that that add up and make the visit feel careless, especially for a business you want to support. I will say the owner or chef came out to check on guests, which was very courteous and genuinely appreciated. That effort is the main reason I'm giving three stars instead of less. I really wanted to like this place, but based on what I experienced I don't think I'll be back. read more

Sabino Kitchen (West Covina) offers freshly cooked, affordable food. I ordered the Chilaquiles ($16) with asada/beef (extra $2). I selected red and green sauce. For its accompanying eggs, I selected scrambled. It's a lot of food! I arrived at Sabino Kitchen (West Covina) on Saturday (around 9AM / opening time). It's located across the street from West Covina Mall. It's hidden in the back corner, neighboring a Yogurtland. Parking is simple since its lot is wide. I was seated immediately. Customers can also find menus near the front counter. Staff (receipt said Kiren) is professional and welcoming. Kiren answered all my questions, and Kiren worked quickly. I ordered the Chilaquiles ($16) with asada/beef (extra $2). The food arrived within 10 minutes and 57 seconds. Very fast! I genuinely enjoyed my meal. Its scrambled eggs arrived big, thick, and soft. In addition, the chilaquiles' tangy red & green sauces, gentle & stretchy mozzarella cheese, and fresh & crisp chips were delicious. Its asada/beef also came thick with a satisfying bite. It's a delicious composition of flavors when eaten altogether. If I were to nitpick, the ingredients tasted lackluster when eaten individually. The carne/beef is dry and coarse. The scrambled eggs are bland and almost rubbery. And the beans were watery, thin, and wet. I did not enjoy those mushy beans. Those mushy beans had a processed sweet flavor which brought an off-putting perfume aftertaste. Concerning ambiance, Sabino Kitchen (West Covina) is gorgeous. Its interior is surprisingly upscale. I adored its vibrant, hanging plants. The furniture and tables also looked shiny and well-maintained. This location even has a foosball table near its side. Its beauty is almost undercut with how bland and forgettable its exterior appears Sabino Kitchen (West Covina) is also very clean, well-ventilated, and spacious. I was somewhat mesmerized by its three spinning ceiling fans and three powerful bolted fans as they blew a storm of fresh wind. The ceiling is also very tall. And the location also has several flat screen TVs. These televisions played the news channel and the soccer channel in Espanol. No music played at Sabino Kitchen (West Covina); rather, the main sounds derived from its loud TVs. (Quick Note: Customers are expected to walk to the front counter for payment.) Overall, I had a pleasant dining experience at Sabino Kitchen (West Covina). The food is huge, affordable, and cooked well. I left full and satisfied. If nearby, I happily recommend. 4.5 out of 5 read more

I wanted brunch but, didn't want to drive too far. Yelp guided me here and I wasn't disappointed! The restaurant is spacious with cute decor and although the doors were open, it wasn't uncomfortably hot inside. They have a couple of fans running so it was a nice breeze. We were seated immediately and browsed their menu. I love that this restaurant is fusion. You can get Curry, Birria or Pancakes! To drink I ordered the iced coffee and my mother ordered the Cafe De Olla. We both loved the coffee, I even took one to go. I decided to go with the Birria plate. It came with rice, beans and tortillas. The portion is super generous and overall the dish was delicious. The beef was tender and the rice and beans were really good! Mom ordered the Chilaquiles with Birria and she cleared her damn plate. I appreciate that everything seems to be homemade including their complimentary salsa and chips. I will definitely come bank to try other options. I highly recommend coming here for breakfast, brunch or dinner. Please be patient, staff is limited but, I didn't mind waiting a bit for a great experience. read more

Stopped in for a Sunday breakfast with my son and my guy. I ordered chilaquiles, my guy ordered Chicharron plate. I ordered cafe de olla, which was delicious, my son an ice coffee, and my guy a regular coffee. Service was great, food was good but this time the plate was loaded. My guy didn't care for his chicharron plate, he said "the sauce was tangy, soury tasting." He didn't send it back, but he ate the beans and potatoes, the tortillas were like quesadillas, which he was shocked because he thought it was just tortillas, what a nice surprise. My son had the same as me, and his plate was almost empty. I tapped out because the serving was huge, I was satisfied. The service was a 5+, the ambience was another 5+ but a 4 for the chicharron plate. Maybe it was slightly off. Will definitely come back again.. read more

Super amazing place and such a hidden gem. Not only they serve great Mexican food, but to our delight they serve really good Mexican Asian fusion dishes as well as some authentic Indonesian food. The Birria Ramen is to die for and really well executed. The Nasi Uduk (Indonesian rice dish typically eaten for breakfast or brunch but good anytime of the day if you ask me) is very tasty and quite authentic. Service is friendly and good but can be a bit slow at least when we're there. Place is spacious, clean and nicely decorated. Highly recommended. read more

Went here early morning with a group of 6! Super cute interior. I believe this place is like a Mexican/Indonesian fusion. I loved that the menu had a variety of things, but not too many where it gets overwhelming. Everyone loved whatever they ordered. I really liked that the lady that took our order (i think she's the owner!!) was super nice, patient, and willing to describe the different unique dishes to someone like me who is so indecisive! read more

Honestly, Sabino Kitchen in West Covina never misses. I've been coming here for the past 2 years--ever since I turned 21--and it's become one of my go-to spots. The Asian-Mexican fusion is crazy good... like, who knew those flavors could go together so perfectly? I brought my girlfriend here for her 21st and she fell in love too. We got the birria ramen, huevos rancheros, and the mimosa flight--everything was . You can taste how fresh and intentional everything is. Major shoutout to the chef and his mom, seriously the best duo ever. You can feel the love in every bite. The whole vibe is super homey and welcoming, like you're eating at a friend's house who just happens to be an amazing chef. If you're in the area and haven't checked this place out yet--go now. You'll thank yourself later. read more

The service here was pretty solid. There seemed to be only one lady working the register and serving tables, but even then she was very attentive n helpful. As for the food, it was good but nothing extraordinary. The green chilaquiles were fine but the sauce kinda tasted like it came from a jar and the chips became soggy rlly fast. The place itself is cutesy, decorated with traditional Mexican styles n whatnot. While this might not be in my top 10 places for Mexican food, I might return to try their happy hour drinks. read more

My friend and I went to Sabino to have some brunch on Christmas Day. I had last visited Sabino back when they were doing a soft opening. The inside is spacious and even has a foosball table available for use. The staff is very friendly. They seated us upon entering. I ordered the Sabino French Toast with sausage, eggs over hard, and house potatoes. My friend went with a pancake breakfast. The food came out in about ten minutes. Everything tasted delicious. The owner came to check on us periodically to see how everything was tasting. She also offered me spicy salsa which I gladly accepted. I put some of it on the potatoes and the eggs. My friend also enjoyed their breakfast. The restaurant also offers Mexican and Asian fusion dishes. Overall a great place to dine. read more

Stopped in for brunch today as I've had this placed bookmarked for a while. We received complimentary tortilla chips with some really yummy salsa. It was so good, I saved the extra to top my scrambled eggs. The hot coffee was really good too (you can get a free cup when you check in on Yelp). We tried a bunch of things: Sabino French Toast Combo - 4/5 It was fine. Nothing special, I could make it better at home. But I liked that they had fun fruits on top like dragon fruit. Ube Pancake Combo - 4/5. Also fine, and again nothing special as I could make it better at home. I've had better ube pancakes elsewhere - big, thick and fluffy with ube syrup or coconut syrup. These were small and flat and just came with maple syrup. The stand outs were: Chicken curry w/ roti Birria Ramen Chicken Laksa w/ noodles Would give these all 5/5, my family really enjoyed these items, so full of flavor and so delicious!! The laksa was my favorite! I would definitely come back for the savory entrees. They have more interesting things on the menu I'd love to explore next time I come by. read more

As someone who's always a bit cautious when trying out a new Mexican spot--especially when it comes to capturing authentic flavors--I was pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. I ordered the red and green chilaquiles with birria, and let me just say... they nailed it. The flavors were bold, comforting, and took me straight to the vibe of a real family gathering. The red salsa in particular reminded me of the one my mom makes at home, which says a lot. The service was equally impressive--genuinely warm, welcoming, and super attentive to every request without being overbearing. It honestly shocked me that we were the only ones dining in because this place deserves way more love. The ambiance? Adorable. Cozy, chill, and thoughtfully put together. I also appreciated the use of traditional-style plates--it's the small details that elevate the experience. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd absolutely return. read more

My friend and I were struggling to find a place to brunch on Christmas Eve when we came across Sabino Kitchen, a Mexican and Asian fusion restaurant. Located in the backside of a strip mall, the mom and pop shop can be easy to miss. Anyways, we were fortunate that Sabino Kitchen was open Christmas weekend, so we took a chance. And while service could have certainly been friendlier, I did enjoy the cozy and quaint atmosphere. After perusing the menu, I ordered the curry mazesoba while my friend ordered the birria ramen. The curry mazesoba was flavorful, and though the chicken was tougher than I prefer, overall the dish was notable. Admittedly, I've had better curry noodles elsewhere, but the version here wasn't so bad. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

A little hard to find if you're not from the area, guess you can say this is a hidden gem! Same parking lot as Panera, just on the other side of the lot. Food: Think fusion food between Asian cuisine (indonesian/thai) and Latin American. Not your average Bulgogi taco! This spot specializes in things that may seem new to you, but do not be afraid to ask for recommendations. Chilaquiles were great, very flavorful. Wasn't dry at all, just the way I like it. I also got a chicken leg dish with rice and cucumbers. Very unique flavors! Would order again. Service: Server and (I believe may have been one of the owners) were incredibly friendly and helpful for our first time. Food came out quickly and orderly too. We will definitely be back to bring more friends and even recommend this spot to more locals! read more
