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

We will be coming here until we try the whole menu!! Thanks and be kind! End racism!

This salad is hearty enough to be a meal on its own and makes a beautiful addition to any gathering. You can tell Claro's takes pride in using traditional recipes and premium ingredients. If you're looking for a delicious, authentic antipasto salad in the Covina area, this one is a must-try. Highly recommended and definitely worthy of five stars!

Cafe Valer is a small, local cafe tucked away inside the larger Plaza West Covina shopping mall…read more With many food options to choose from in this general area, I never knew Cafe Valer was even here until a friend recommended it to me. Hearing great things about their sandwiches, I came by around 5:30PM on a Friday and tried one of their Garlic Sirloin Steak Ciabatta Paninis that goes for $14. The place was small and plenty of people were looking for a meal, so the food took awhile before it hit the table. But to that point, the staff bring your food directly to your seat should you choose to dine in. The sandwich was much bigger than I initially thought it was going to be. With two large wedges stuffed with a signature sweet sauce, large pieces of steak, melted cheese, sliced tomatoes, and two toasted pieces ciabatta, there was a lot to eat. So much so that even a half of the sandwich could easily be enough for those with modest appetites. At the $14 price tag in West Covina, other restaurants in the area only include basic ingredients like sliced ham, turkey, or diced chicken. Cafe Valer turns this around and gives a large helping of sirloin steak at a generous price point. Price to portion is a steal here and can easily make what should be a single meal into food for days. Though made up of just a few ingredients, the sandwich had to be one of the best ones I've had in the San Gabriel Valley, no exaggeration needed. The ciabatta was toasted perfectly with just the right amount of crisp on the crust. The tomatoes in the sandwich gave a refreshing baseline for the dish and even complimented the light, sweet vegetable sauce in the sandwich. Of anything to highlight, the steak was definitely the best part. Because the cheese was melted to just the right temperature, the cheesiness absorbed into the already juicy pieces of steak. I liked how moist the meat was, especially since the steak was already fully cooked through. Cafe Valer is an underrated gem that continues to anchor the West Covina community with flavorful, affordable food offerings. From the small shop feel to the great tasting food and the affordable price point, there was nothing bad to say about my experience there. Cafe Valer is a solid 5 star spot, no questions asked. The restaurant seems to have quite the range with a variety of sandwiches, wraps, breakfast, and dessert items. So the next time I'm in the area, I'll be back to give more of their food a try!

It's a small café that offers a good variety of sandwiches, wraps, desserts, and drinks. My favorite is the spicy sirloin steak wrap. The ingredients always taste fresh, and the flavors are well-balanced. Their sandwiches are also very good. The cashier was friendly, and I noticed that the employees seemed to genuinely respect each other. You can tell there's good teamwork and probably some solid training behind it. Unfortunately, I had to take one star off because of the Americano I ordered this time. Whoever made it did a really poor job, to be honest. The espresso tasted like it hadn't been extracted properly, almost as if there wasn't enough pressure during extraction. It was extremely watery, with barely any coffee flavor. I took one sip and ended up throwing it away. Since it was a takeout order and I had already left, I couldn't ask them to remake it. I've ordered the same Americano here before and never had this issue, so I'm hoping it was just a one-time mistake. Despite the disappointing coffee, I still really like this place and will definitely be coming back. The food quality, friendly service, and overall experience are worth it.

Even though I had a bad experience long time ago, my co worker recommended this place for our work…read moreevent for employee appreciation luncheon that we are hosting for our staff so I gave it a chance. We tried the colossus sandwiches last year and that was a success. Then this year we ordered 7 ring sandwiches of turkey, roast beef, and cold cut sandwiches with sauces on the side. They can't precut for us. The person on the phone was very friendly and helpful. The pick up didn't take long, but had to make sure to give us the sauces which they forgot. So double check the order before leaving. My co worker helped precut the sandwiches and was able to make it 12 slices more than we originally thought be only 8 or 10 since it feeds up to 10 ppl. The presentation looked amazing and the employees all loved the food!!! We will definitely order there again.

The food was okay, but definitely overpriced for what we received. We also ordered water and were not told that we were being charged $2 per bottled water. I think customers should be informed about additional charges before being served. What bothered us the most was that as soon as our food came out, the owner placed the check on the table--even though we hadn't even started eating yet. It made us feel rushed and unwelcome. The food itself was just okay, but the poor customer service and overall experience made it not worth the price. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

Perfect space for families with children, in the summer! It's a similar concept with Blossom Market in San Gabriel but way bigger. There's a variety of food vendors, which is great. Unfortunately, I was quite limited due to my food allergies. But I was able to get some grilled salmon from Kai Don. Staff here were friendly and helpful. I would recommend that they don't overcook the Salmon though, because it can get too dry. Otherwise, it was tasty, with several different sauces available. There was a sushi bar, with interesting rolls but not Japanese run, and they don't use Panko batter for their tempura...so it made the spider roll a bit too dense. For those that like burgers, pizza and beer, there were several vendors. I'll have to come back to try the other vendors soon!
