   We chose patio sitting without knowing the place in the first place. It was a poor choice due to poor design. The patio faces Apache Blvd, and it is quite noisy the wrong way (cars, etc.) The food was the worst part. Everything seemed reheated. I hope there are better items in the menu, but my recommendation would be to avoid the Chicharron and make sure to ask before ordering, because some items may be unexpectedly spicy hot...

   We had a wonderful dinner at Cocina Chiwas! The Rajas con Queso was a beautiful blend of peppers, onions, corn in a creamy queso sauce that was just right - savory, creamy, perfect for dipping with fresh totopos (chips). Our tacos were also outstanding, just a great combination of flavors. Our servers were excellent, providing great recommendations and attentive service throughout. The weather was perfect for quiet dining and great conversation on the patio.

   Our 2nd visit to the restaurant did not disappoint. Great cocktails, complex flavors, and a warm ambiance made for an ideal date night.

   Innovative and delicious modern Mexican cuisine. My favorite was the burrata salad with roasted squash in the place of tomatoes.

   Food is stellar but pricey for the amount. Drinks are average. Service depends on who is helping you. We arrived for our reservation ten minutes before. The hostess took several minutes to acknowledge us and even then did not seat us (even though the table we eventually sat at was empty this entire time). Instead she walked away to go take orders from two tables. Another employee eventually came over (now ten minutes past our reservation time) and finally seated us. This second employee was in training -they should be hired!

   Absolutely outstanding food and service! Amazing! Music is a little too loud for conversation. This place is not to be missed.

   The restaurant was full to the last seat on a Wednesday- we had a nice table and our server was very helpful. We tried a variety of vegetarian and meat dishes which were outstanding. Also took a très leches carrot cake to go which turned out great (though was a little overly moist at the bottom). The kitchen uses a smoker which at times made the dining room (kitchen open to dining area) a bit too smoky. The area lacks parking which is a developer error not the restaurants. There is an overflow parking but signs say it closes at 8pm (but did not … we took the risk) would be good to have that aligned with restaurant hours for ease of mind. Would definitely recommend Covina Chiwas and come back to try more of the amazing food

    The chef is inventive, and new tasty dishes are added regularly , if the whole fish is available, order it!
