45 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!“

“excellent food, very fresh and tasty!!!“

“Came here today for my very first time and let me tell you, the food was delicious. The service was amazing, I love how attentive and friendly they were. The restaurant was very clean the food was soooo good, I had the chilaquiles with meat and eggs. This is a hidden gem I wish more people knew about.“

“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👍👍👍👍🥩“

“Sin duda alguna Es La Mejor Birria su buen sabor Hace Que te Sientas Como en tu Tierra! Jalisco❤️“

“Came on a Monday at noon and all seating was taken up along with there being a line. Love to see it. No old ingredients sitting around when you're cranking out food at that rate.

Eat here if you like Mexican food. I pray it never ever changes. This places energy, environment, patrons, employees and most importantly the food are all just amazing. It reminds me of the best part of every Mex spot I ate at in LA county growing up in the 90s. It's straight forward honest eats, large portions and extremely flavorful. And I hope it lasts forever!“

“This is the place to go if your Hungary. Great homemade by hand plate by plate one at a time. Lots of regular people here and some personalitys too. Three 75" tvs on the wall for sports watching, big bathrooms. The food is of the hook here everything is the bomb. Lots of choices, lots of food for the money. And everybody is family here and everybody knows your name kinda place. Always a satisfying experience here.“

“I highly recommend this restaurant, the food was amazing and the service was fantastic.“

“The food here is fresh and delicious. Anything from the fish and shrimp tacos to their breakfast burritos. I am really surprised this place is not busier than it is. I mean if anyone goes to Norm's for a breakfast burrito, they better think about this place. And better prices!“

“Friendly service. This is one of our favorite places to stop for delicious Mexican food. We especially love their chile verde burrito!“

“todo está muy bueno lo recomiendo mil%“

“Since it was my first time to be there, I wanted to try couple things.
Fist it all, their Chile's rellenos are bomb. The guacamole,amazing. I also bought some short ribs, they were so good!

“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.“

“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!“

“Me encanta la rapidez ,el servicio ,la comida exelente ❤️“

“They have the best fish ceviche !! Really good food and good micheladas“

“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“

“Its the worst so call marisco i have ever order the mixta parrillad was BURNED 🔥 THE MEAT WAS BURNED AND DRY THE REST OF THE MARISCO COULDN'T TELL WHAT I WAS EATING.

“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!!“

“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!“

“Excelente atención y el show muy divertido“

“They make us feel special!“

“Nothing compared to the 70s.“

“We ordered 4 crepes and they were HUGE and absolutely delicious totally worth the price! We had recently tried another new spot in Downey and was not impressed,honestly, this place is 100 times better. The ice cream scoop they served was Thrifty (a nice touch!) and they definitely weren’t stingy like other places. Great portions, great flavor — we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I noticed the staff has become much friendlier and the service is better than before. The food still tastes just as delicious as always.

Maybe because of the current economy, there seem to be fewer customers than before. I remember avoiding this place in the past because even asking for an extra sauce felt difficult, but this time everyone was very friendly and made the meal comfortable. As for the taste, isn’t this place number one when it comes to tacos? In the end, kindness and fair pricing are the most important elements that keep both a restaurant and its customers coming back for the long run.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely Love This Place!
I honestly don’t understand all the negative reviews this place is AMAZING! I come here all the time and always leave happy. Whether I get an agua fresca, a juice, or one of their delicious spicy apples, everything is consistently fresh, flavorful, and just hits the spot. You can really taste the quality in every drink and snack.The staff is always so kind, professional, and welcoming. They take their time to make sure everything is done right, and it shows. Plus, the place is always spotless super clean and well-kept, which makes the whole experience even better.If you haven’t tried this spot yet, don’t let the bad reviews stop you. Give it a chance you won’t regret it!“
