Restaurants have redesigned their patio since that is now their main attraction during quarantine. Some have gone all out, to where the vibe is more energetic than ever and one might wish they would keep it like that even after customers are allowed to dine indoors again. Downtown Covina, has been one of those cities that have turned their quaint downtown into a lively and yet still cozy street of patio dining that has taken up in the street parking spaces, giving it a farmers market feel.
This place is also equipped with TVs and speakers to display games & music to give it that sports bar & party vibe feel. Since it’s mixed with the outdoors of the quaint downtown style, it balances out to be a lively ambience without being too directed to one specific type of crowd. I’ve been here on date night and with the family.
They have an array of cervezas and cocktails, especially micheladas. Flights of tequila and micheladas are available if you are feeling adventurous or can’t make up your mind 🍻 The menu is quite extensive with options including seafood, tacos, burgers, and Mexican style platters.
Shrimp Aguachile was a good choice although there is a lot more cucumber than shrimp, I wouldn’t mind paying more some extra friends. We also had the Tostadas de Ceviche that were packed with lemon-cured fish, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, topped with Tapatio & Avocado. My dad gave a bite to my baby without realizing it had some trace of tapatio, and my son started grabbing his mouth and breathing out with some cries for a few seconds 😥 Some bread and water helped 😓
I thought I was just going to be about the seafood but I actually enjoyed their Bourbon Burger and their Carne Asada Fries topped w/ a fried egg. The Stacked Taquitos were also good for sharing, but I’m going to focus more on the burgers next time
Burritos and Burgers are on my list for my next visits, and of course micheladas 😋 Here are some pages of the menu…
