Peter's El Loco — Restaurant in West Covina

This place doesn't understand the concept of HOT food. I ordered a bean & cheese burrito, and the beans were COLD ( like room temperature). The next time, I asked for a HOT b&c burrito... and these dummies GRILLED it, toasting the tortilla to the point you couldn't hold it without it falling apart. The beans inside were still COLD. The NEXT time, I asked for the beans to be HOT before the burrito is prepared, & the girl copped an attitude and said the beans are always hot. I told her about my prior experience, and she assured me that the beans in my burrito would indeed, be HOT. They were not, room temperature, again! I complained, & pointed out that I made a special request for hot food, and then the cook started arguing with me about it. What the hell! I am so damn sick of this place. The food is decent, but they either don't understand English, or use a Mexico standard regarding what is considered safe-food handling and HOT FOOD! ! ! U T T E R L Y * P...

We LOVE Peter's El Loco! We'll drive on the 10fwy East just for their hard-shell tacos! From the BEST tacos to chile verde to "aguas frescas" and everything in between...their food is delicious. At their last Mexican 🇲🇽 Independence Day there was a Special Menu that included candy or fruit cups topped with lemon and Tajin a plate with street tacos, sides, mini tostada and taquito...with a dinner roll AND "pan dulce" for dessert! The day also featured a mariachi and... prizes 🎊. We hope the special events continue. Lastly, the only thing that matches the owner's dedication to good food is...the staff's friendless and warmth.

Today, we tried the burritos and were not disappointed with their tasty fillings! AND they cater special events, too.

Decided to try the tamales...another tasty option!

So.. make the drive, stop by, and make Peter's El Loco one of the places you love too!

I just added photos of my favorites: hard-shelled shredded beef taco and steak...

This place is recommended to me. So I just had to stop and try it out. The gentleman at the register was super nice it took me a while to order. Since I wanted an old school cheeseburger like the ones we would get after school back in 1997… lol… I just couldn’t help it. I ordered the loco fries. Talk about flash back to 1997 summer getting ready for high school. You should at least try them once. They have a few meats you can pick from. I shared the fries with my girls and I was so stuffed I didn’t even get to the double cheeseburger. Food didn’t take more than 10 mins. There was a couple out side eating and two people ordered after me. Lots of parking in Good light in the ordering and pick up area.

Note: fries were huge & so was a double...
