47 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.“

“With very few words to be able to do JUSTICE to a dish capable of being compared to The Mona Lisa or The Ifel Tower, it seems to me that today we could PROUDLY say that we have discovered the 8th. Culinary Wonder of the World, in none other than PICO RIVERA.

TaqueArte is definitely EXQUISITE!!!“

“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!!!“

“For the past 15 years, Super Taco in Pico Rivera has been my go-to spot for satisfying, no-frills Mexican food. This family-owned restaurant may not be fancy, but it has a charm that keeps me coming back. My all-time favorite dish is the carne asada gorditas—they’re always delicious and packed with flavor. I highly recommend trying them if you stop by. The rest of the menu can be hit or miss, but there’s usually something for everyone, and it's worth a visit if you're in the area. It's a great spot to support a local family business and enjoy some hearty Mexican food!“

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

“Tiny drive-thru joint with surprisingly great tacos and burritos. The carne asada is flavorful and juicy every time. Super quick service and friendly people. I stop by here instead of Taco Bell or Del Taco — it’s way better. Great prices and solid late-night option. Salsa has a good kick too“

“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!“

“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!“

“Food is always fresh, and best of all very very affordable . Also they have karaoke thursday night 6 to 10 pm.

Kid-friendliness: Waitress friendly to them

Parking: Easy to get in and out

“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!!“

“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.“

“Es un lugar maravilloso donde su comida es la mejor con un Sansón estupendo“

“I love the place everyone is nice people“

“They got Tortas de milanesa delicious and fresh squeezed vegetables juices bionics and more perfect to sing by and get healthy snack!!!“

“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!“

“Excelente atención y el show muy divertido“

“That was the best burrito I've ever had in my life! The red and green sauce was like nothing I've ever tried before! I highly recommend it!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!“

“They make us feel special!“

“Best Guadalajara food in LA 🙌🏼👏🏼💕“

“This is the 2nd time I frequent this establishment and it doesn’t disappoint. The food is delicious and fairly priced. The customer service is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I highly recommend it.“

“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.“

“Nothing compared to the 70s.“

“We ordered five different things from this place when we visited for the first time: strawberry ice cream, crepes, vanilla latte, mango with spice and takis corn. Everything was absolutely delicious. Customer service was great. It’s so good we wanted to go again the next day to try more things.“
