Amazing. First time got chicken tacos and chicken enchiladas. Unlimited salsa you can serve yourself. The place feels clean and has everything you need because of the market section. Love the beverage selection.

🔥 Two Chiles Rellenos — El Pilon Market & Restaurant 🔥 📍 322 S Glendora Ave, West Covina, CA 91790 Originally $10.95 — now $15.95 — and still absolutely worth going back. This plate ranks in the Top Ten Chiles Rellenos I’ve experienced across the entire country. From New Orleans, Louisiana to Biloxi, Mississippi, from Erie, Pennsylvania to Washington D.C., Bar Harbor, Maine to NYC, Madison, Wisconsin to St. Paul, Minnesota, Bismarck, North Dakota to Denver, Colorado, Santa Fe, New Mexico to Phoenix, Arizona, Las Vegas, Nevada to Pasadena and Covina, California — I’ve walked the map and tasted many, but this one stands out.

El Pilon Market is such a gem in our community. The food is always delicious—I’ve tried quite a bit of the menu and have never once been disappointed. The staff is amazing, greeting you the moment you walk in. Even when they’re busy, they acknowledge you and let you know they’ll be right with you, which is rare these days and so appreciated. This week I had an experience that really showed me what kind of place this is. I lost my wallet on Tuesday, and when I came back on Friday to retrace my steps, they had kept it safe for me the entire time. Someone had kindly turned it in (including my cash), and the staff made sure it was taken care of until I returned. That kind of honesty and care is priceless, and I can’t express my gratitude enough. The owner is phenomenal as well—kind, approach

This place is amazing! I've been coming here since I was a kid, and everything tastes incredible and is totally worth the price. The best part is how easy it is to strike up a conversation and become friends with the other customers. It's more than just a restaurant; it's a community

★★★★★ 5.0 Wesley C Erickson · Sep 2022

Wow, this place is a hidden gem in West Covina! We order their carne asada fries, carne asada nachos and fish tacos for takeaway, and everything was fresh and delicious! I can’t wait to come back to try other items on the menu, check out the rest of the market and dine in sometime. Great place!
