42 Best Mexican Restaurants in Pico Rivera

“Their steak and eggs are very tasty and a great price every time! Also suggested to the owner the last time I came to take away the sandbags by the front door because you should always think of your business as doing what appeals to the ladies! Because if you get the girls, you got the guys! He got it and today the sand bags are gone which is the first of a few simple suggestions that I have that together will make a disproportionate impact! Stay tuned.“

“Taquearte is very popular. They are known for their chilaquiles.

We ordered the chilaquiles with chorizo & egg. The chips stayed crisp in the tangy spicy salsa. They had a nice variety of side salsas as well.

Most people don't complain about cheese. When it came out though, it looked like cottage cheese, which cooled off the chilaquilas more than it should have. It is Mexican cheese, though.

Overall, the meal was good. I would just melt the cheese a little bit more or put less of it on.

There is normally a line, and when we left, we saw it starting to form.“

“The shrimp here are absolutely delicious and incredible! We ordered two Shrimp Taco Combos, which came with rice, beans topped with cheese, and best of all — the Baja-style shrimp tacos, hands down the best I’ve ever had.

Pro tip: Pair them with a glass of horchata for a perfectly balanced contrast of flavors. The shrimp are packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and you can tell this recipe has been refined over many years.

We started with the guacamole as an appetizer — it was extraordinary, full of flavor and creamy avocado texture.

Also, a big shoutout to Nancy and Jose for their outstanding service and warm attention. They really made the experience even more enjoyable.

Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for authentic and unforgettable Baja-style shrimp tacos!“

“La comida está riquísima mis respetos para todos Siempre que vamos nos ha tiende “Jorge “ bien atento con lo que necesitas Los tacos de pulpo 🐙 los mejores #1“

“I want to start by saying that I am a Carne Asada critic. Almost every place you might order Carne Asada is serving you a cheap version of thinly chopped cheap steak. Carne Asada is ONLY, Flank Or Skirt steak. End of sentence, period. That said, this place has the best tasting Carne Asada in my area and that goes for East LA as well. It is not skirt or flank but it is the best tasting I’ve had in a very long time. I will come back for the CA burrito at least 2 times a week. My new Favorite place👍👍👍👍🥩“

“It a friendly Environment, the staff is friendly . If you miss good home cooking, then this is the place. Yes it's a pop and mom restaurant. Great food of all kinds . From breakfast to soups and even see food Mexican food.. Stop by if you enjoy great food .“

“This place is a great spot for delicious Mexican food and catching a game. Three big flat-screen TVs hang from the ceiling, showcasing various sports, and we were there to watch part of the Dodgers vs. Mets game. They offer a 2-for-1 deal on fish tacos on Tuesdays and other tacos on Thursdays.

I tried the seafood burrito, which is loaded with octopus, shrimp, scallops, fish, rice, beans, and a white sauce that tastes like diluted sour cream. I was blown away with the first bite—there’s plenty of seafood in every mouthful. The lemon, slightly pickled purple onions, and seasoned jalapeños complemented the burrito perfectly.

The restaurant isn’t very large, but it has a cozy ambiance. The parking lot outside is small due to the plaza's size at the corner of the street. I’ll definitely be back on Tuesday or Thursday for the taco deal!“

“If you’re on the hunt for the best tamales in town, look no further than Lillian’s Special Tamales. This small, family-owned business has truly mastered the art of tamale-making, offering flavors so rich and delicious that they set a new standard for this classic dish.

Each tamale is perfectly seasoned, with every bite delivering a symphony of flavors that make it clear just how much care and tradition go into the recipe. Whether you’re a fan of the classics or craving something unique, Lillian’s tamales are worth every single penny.

But what truly sets this place apart is Lillian herself. She exudes warmth and kindness, making you feel like you’re part of the family the moment you step in. Her passion for what she does shines through in both her food and her interactions with customers.

I can’t recommend Lillian’s Special Tamales enough. Whether you’re a tamale enthusiast or trying them for the first time, this is an experience you don’t want to miss. Support a local gem—you won’t regret it!“

“First time here. Tried 3 different meats/tacos...asada, carnitas and lengua. The lengua was by far the best lengua taco I have ever had!! There were notes of pineapple, it was so tender and flavorful mmm! Asada was well seasoned and tasted very good as well. I'll pass on the carnitas next time, it was dry and no flavor. And they have a good red sauce that's not too hot and adds a nice little kick and flavor. A little over $2 for most tacos, and it was .$3.50, I believe, for lengua (worth it). Seven tacos = $20“

“I love the food here but recently I ordered a special quesadilla w/quacamole, a soft tostada w/guacamole, a hard shell taco & a order of taquitod w/extra w/quacamole + extra green chili to go. My total was $45. & Cents...I should have asked for the receipt because I think I was overcharged.“

“It was amazing!! I like your food but many of your restaurants have very careless (and rude) employees sad to say. But it was a nice experience all the way yesterday when I went to the store in Slowson/Passon at Pico Rivera, the manager Mr. Francisco went the extra mile not just with me but all of the guests. The cook offered to fix something specially for me, I tell you it was great!! Thank you!!“

“Rico's nuevamente somos. Bien solo corto personal precios bieb“

“Love this place for amazing bionico! The crema is delicious, not too sweet and very savory. It can get busy from time to time but that is rare. It can also be a little noisy, but the place is bare bones. They make almost everything in front of their customers.

There is usually parking and the spaces are right in front.

This is my go to place for bionico and turmeric/ginger/lime shots. I will always return when I have my craving!“
