El Pilon Market - West Covina

Love it. Low key restaurant where the abuletas will serve you big portions for cheap.

This place is a combination grocery store and restaurant. The food is great, though. We have been here several times and have not been disappointed. Don't expect fancy, just great service.

They have a large menu to choose from.I tried the Huevos Rancheros. And ordered a menudo. Honestly, the menudo had no flavor. My Grandson took one bite and was done. The huevos rancheros was a disappointment as well. No sauce on top of the eggs. There was only diced tomatoes. Also the beans rice were cold!!

The food is good but the service is really poor I ask a lady for lemons and she just told me to ask in the front and they had me waiting for 10 min just for lemos bad service...
