In this episode, we sat down with Peter Arellano of Peter’s El Loco restaurant here in
West Covina.  For decades El Loco has been a destination for locals craving fast, but
tasty and handcrafted Mexican cuisine.  www.peterselloco.com

Peter shares with us what makes this restaurant so special – from the food to the
building.

Whether it’s their Rib Eye Loco Burrito, Street Tacos, or unique dishes like Lengua all
the ingredients are fresh and the results deliver this area’s premier Mexican food
experience. Speaking from personal experience, their burgers are remarkable too.

It’s not just the food that makes a statement at El Loco. Their building at 437 S.
Glendora Ave is historic and retains the charm of its 1950’s roots. It was used as a
location for the 1997 movie, Good Burger, which has since become a minor cult classic.

Peter and the staff at El Loco regularly support local non-profits and fund raisers. After
you listened to this episode of the Talk to Us West Covina, stop by El Loco. You’ll be
glad you did.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
