Espiau's

I came here with my friend and her party for her birthday because we lost our reservation for a restaurant across the street haha.The staff was very accommodating with our party of 9 and we were able to sit almost immediately. The restaurant is honestly very big! The patio sitting has a lot of space and their inside as well.For the menu, I will say that there is quite a variety to order from, but I wish they had other Mexican food options. I ordered the quesadilla appetizer as my meal and it wasn't too bad! Our waiter was also very kind and tended to our needs very well with our huge party - so thank you!

Overall, Shit show. The best part of the experience was the two hardworking busboys. The food was ok and expensive. What restaurant serves you one enchilada instead of two but still charges you premium prices? Drinks were expensive. The server was nice to start and disappeared. After our food was dropped off, she came back 1/2 way through the meal with the check. Never asked if everything was ok or if we wanted dessert or another drink. We went to watch a Big Bowl game and wanted more drinks. I found it strange the table next to us got their bill 40 min after us. I had to track down a host to bring the server back for more drinks. The server was clearly bothered that I asked for a second drink. The ambiance screamed; come spend some money and leave quickly. No thanks! Order # 616888

I have been coming here or to the first one on Holt Avenue in Pomona since my Spanish teacher took us all here (Pomona) in 1979 as a class trip....Zero has changed! I would describe the food here as mild or gringo Mexican food. (I am a gringo so I can say it) It's all what you think Mexican food would be, in the 1970s.... Comfort food...The standouts are the signature Epius' Salad and the house made chips and salsa....The salad is a huge bowl of shredded lettuce with a mountain of finally shredded jack cheese on top of it. That is it!! The epitome of simplicity!See the photos. They give you a bottle of vinaigrette dressing to use. You need a boatload because the cheese is a sponge. It tastes incredible! The aforementioned chips are also unique to this restaurant. They are house cut and fried using regular tortillas not the thin stuff that you normally see at Mexican restaurants. They are also covered in season salt, I mean covered. You need to dunk them in the house made salsa or else It is a salt overload. I also use the dressing from the Espius' Salad. The rest of the menu typical AmericanMexican food that needs lots a salsa for flavor. It's good. Service is usually good and mostly booths for seating. Cool place to catch up with friends.

I usally go for their delicious Espiaus salad, I get the double with extra dressing.. The have the best chips also.

I was in the mood for a tuna melt with bacon, and I was very pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted. I wasn't in the mood for fries, so I went with the potato salad which tasted pretty good as well. Service was attentive, and refills on my iced tea were quick. This is a comfortable place for both lunch and dinner, and with the summer heat coming in, there's an outside area that's covered where I've hung out to enjoy the breeze. Compared to the average ratings for this business, my experience has been above the three stars. My minus one star comes from the chips being incredibly salty, so I pass on them most of the time. Otherwise, this place is a solid local spot for me! Cheers!

I found this spot a year or two ago while I was looking on Yelp for a fun place to catch the March Madness games. I wanted somewhere I could enjoy live sports, grab a bite to eat, and maybe get some work done too. After checking around, I realized this place was just what I needed. During the day, it's super chill and perfect for getting stuff done since it's usually quieter. But at night, especially during big games, it can get pretty loud and packed, which isn't great for working. Still, the lively vibe at night makes it a lot of fun.

Impromptu visit as our previous plans fell thru. They weren't busy at all when we initially came in (it was early), by the time we left, the majority of tables were taken with a line out the front door. The place does look kind of old and dark. Lots of different areas and rooms. Took quite a trek to get to the back bar area from the front. There were tvs in the bar area, so it's cool to get a drink and have some food while watching a game. Our waitress was cool. Service was good. Readily topped off our waters. Continually asked if we wanted more chips and salsa. Food came out quickly as well. Chips and salsa were good and unlimited!! Chips had a dusting of spices. Chips were not oily. Crunchy. But thick enough to hold a huge heap of salsa. But at the same time, it was not overly thick. I ordered their Rizo-rito, which was a chorizo burrito. It was large!! Flavors were amazing. Not overly salty. Entire thing held together as I was cutting into it. It's not extremely spicy. Moist. Overall, good vibes. And good food.

For context we went a Sunday morning for lunch after visiting the nearby farmers market. We were seated right away inside which was great. We were greeted with chips and salsa. Salsa was a little spicy, but enjoyable. My wife ordered flautas and I ordered a burrito. After waiting 30 minutes we asked if our food was being worked on. We were told the patio was really busy, but they would check. Our food came out 45 minutes after ordering. I get it, Sundays are busy, but the restaurant should maybe hire more staff. Staff were obviously doing their best, but there's only so many plates one server can dish out. Food wasn't that tasty either. I paid an extra $1 for guacamole and sour cream. I didn't expect them to dollop a tablespoon on top of my burrito. Who doesn't put guacamole and sour cream inside the burrito?

Rarely come to the area and came in for a bite and to kill some time. Immediately greeted, waited upon, and served chips and salsa before I even sat down. A+ for fast and friendly service.I sat at the bar and I just wanted an appetizer so I asked for a recommendation. Bartender said she loved the nachos so I went with that and added asada.It was enough for four people. Unfortunately, it wasn't great. It was covered with refried beans, cheese, jalapeño, and asada and came with guacamole and sour cream on the side so it wasn't lacking in general ingredients but it did lack in flavor. I wouldn't order it again but would gladly try other items on the menu.

Awful,run down atmosphere. Worst ,so called"Mexican Salad." A bowl of Taco Bell grade shredded lettuce and a mountain of low quality jack cheese. Vile. Twelve dollars for this travesty. Chips made with flour tortillas.Sad
