Reviews for El Pescador West Covina in West Covina, CA
Buen provecho! The Server brought our delicious Mexican food order and shouted the greeting. We were so delight with the... fantastic ambiance and all the colorful neon lights greeted us at the entrance. We haven?t been here before and we wereimpressed by the menu and the service. Just looking at the menu, we already knew this restaurant provides authentic Mexicanfood. Since the restaurant was named after fish, I thought I would do well with fish taco while my wife went for their beeffajitas. The fish in the taco was so flavorful and the meat was so fresh and tender. The fish taco even came with a quarter ofguacamole on each taco. The fajita was delicious also as the seasoning for the beef was amazing. A good thing was that the hugeplate of beef fajita was only for $20. With inflation, can?t get that big of a beef plate for this price anywhere. One thingyou have to be careful of is that the tortilla chips were so good that you kept eating them and get so full and you couldn?t eatyour main meal. Read more
Food that I ordered looks better than the picture on the menu. Very rare! Delicious, fresh, and portions are great too. I will... definitely come back for more. Can't wait to have their menudo. Read more
Excellent place to celebrate a birthday or to bring a date. The ambiance is great! Drinks are great! Food is great! Service is... great (when it?s not too packed). I?m giving four star because this time the service was not on point. Things were missing orordered wrong and had to get redone, food and drinks were brought randomly and not all at once. So some people got a head startby 15 mins while other people were still waiting for food. I understand it?s busy in the kitchen but the servers need to keep amomentum going and try to stay on there toes to work at their pace too. It seemed like the second server was not as sharp andkept forgetting about our table. The first server was quick even though they were super packed. Overall this place is always agreat time.

We were seated right away. Our server was attentive and made sure we were good. The Michelada Flight was refreshing and the food... was decent. We enjoyed the atmosphere. Read more
The food is Great! Service is great!! Prices have gone up which is understandable because of the economy, but they have ignored... to maintain the restrooms clean, they are dirty, some urinal not working, and the odor is disgusting! I remember they used tohave them very neat, they should consider it as a very important issue. I hope next time I visit them them they have fixed thismatter, Read more
My husband and I like going to this place for the drinks and the ambiance. Seafood is pretty good too. They have added a few new... items to their menu and drinks as well. Also improved in quality. However, we were disappointed last time we were here. Wealways have to wait for a table at least 40min. and it's only 2 of us, no biggie, but last time we were told our table was readyand when the hostess took us to our table a group had already taken it. We had to wait for the group to get seated somewhereelse. Then, a large group sat next to us and the server notice we were very crowded so she offered to move us to a differenttable. I was happy to move because I was feeling uncomfortable. Well, it took for ever to get our drinks. Then nobody asked ifwe wanted to order food. After about 30 min someone took our order. Then the hostess came up to us saying we had to move becausethat table belong to someone else and that we had to wait for a table to be available. WHAT?! So I explained what happened andfortunately they didn't move us. 20 min later we got our food. It was delicious. Pulpo tatemado is now my favorite. I think theywere understaffed and maybe they had new people working. I don't know what was going on that night but everyone looked stressand in a bad mood. We were not approached with friendly customer service every time. I guess everyone was overwhelmed. We endedup spending around 3 hrs. there just to get something to eat and order a couple of drinks. My review is for the lack of customerservice. Food and drinks are great here but they need to be more organized because it gets very busy here and the workers justcan't handle it. It was chaos that night. Read more

Came in with high expectations, unfortunately the drinks I was served were nothing but juice both my friend and I came in around... 1 am our drinks ???? were 98% juice and the rest alcohol. You would think for the price that we are paying we would get a goodmixed drink. Unfortunately that wasn?t for me I did return my second drink I normally don?t like to complain or write a review,but I don?t see what the hype is about this place. Definitely not worth what I paid for. Read more
