Serving the San Gabriel Valley for 47 years! Mexican restaurants are a dime a dozen in southern California, but this one has exactly the right combination of atmosphere, a satisfying and broad menu, friendly service and excellent margaritas. In operation since 1971, Mariposa has withstood the test of time, and today qualifies as one of Covina's very favorite places for dinner and Sunday brunch. Start with a steaming bowl of albondigas soup, then enjoy fresh Mesquite chicken salad, chile colorado, carne asada, carnitas, fish tacos or a heaping combo plate. It's impossible to leave here hungry!
