Used to frequent this place until they started making false promises on the reward point system Went twice to try and use my earned reward points and both times I was denied due to "not having access" to the point reward system I am very disappointed with this establishment since I was denied my free Torta twice! Ps: the food is good though read more

Pika Tortas Ahogadas - Mexican Near Me - Paramount, California

Been here a number of times. Food wasn't bad. But we were denied service because our child (4 yrs old) doesn't eat any of the food they served there due to allergies, so we had to get him food elsewhere. We were told, they had issues with outside food before and this is why they couldn't serve us. What could possibly be the problem with allowing a 4 year old to eat while me and my wife spend what would've been over $150 to eat there? We have been everywhere from fast food restaurants to Michelin star level establishments and they've never had issues with our son bringing outside food. Your decision costed your restaurant, customers for life. My recommendation, be a bit more flexible and understanding or you'll soon realize over time, your business decisions will cost you your business. read more

Las micheladas son deliciosas, valen totalmente la pena, saben a lo que tienen que saber y de verdad de las mejores que he probado. En cuanto a la comida es otro tema, pedí una torta ahogada y el birote estaba un poco aguado y tenía poca carne dentro. No recomiendo pedir la torta. read more

Very good, would recommend the Milanese torta. It was hot and tasty and ready on time. read more

It was a total lack of organization. The staff seemed confused about who was actually waiting for a table and where they should be seated. Meanwhile, people who didn't even have reservations were getting seated before us. It's unclear whether they were ahead of us on a secret list or just being prioritized for some other reason. The whole experience was really frustrating and left a sour taste in my mouth before I even got my food. If you're going to have separate lists, at least make it clear to customers. I won't be coming back--too much confusion and disorganization for what should have been a simple meal. read more

Second time to this establishment and it has not disappointed, service is very friendly and humble. The food has been on point feels like home made cooking read more

Pika Tortas Ahogadas - Beautiful - Mexican Near Me - Paramount, California

Lady sat us down, but never brought us menus. We looked at the menu online and still took them about 15 minutes to come to the table. Finally placed our order and the mine came out wrong. The potato tacos were not good. The potato was hard and bland. Server checked on us a minute after our order came, but we didn't see her until we finished out entrees. Someone finally came by, so we ordered some churros with ice cream. They packed them to go, so I told the lady they were for here and if she could bring us utensils. However, the churros were cold, so I had to return them. My friend never got a refill on his drink even after putting his glass at the end of the table. We saw the server checking in with the table behind us, but they never made it to the back with us. They did however check on the 2 guys ordering beer because they got at least 3 beers each. For a restaurant with 7 tables and 2 servers this was by far the worst and slowest service I've received. I will never be returning. read more

I called at 1 pm today to place a to go order. The lady that answered the phone immediately placed me on hold before I could even say something. I decided to hang up and call again after waiting for a couple minutes. I've called for 10 minutes straight now, and the phone was never answered. I will give my money elsewhere as it seems like they don't need the clients here. Zero stars for service read more

The torta ahogada was good. I liked the fact that they add a good amount of meat to them. Definitely not stingy with it. I really enjoyed the fact that they have the bottle of both the salsa and the chile in the table to add more to your liking. I do wish the torta was warmer when they serve it though. read more

The service is so slow. As soon as you're seated they give you a menu but take their time to ask if you are ready. Once you order the food takes about 15-20+ mins to get to you. If you are ever in a rush or on a 30 min lunch do not come here. It's so slow I almost walked out while waiting read more

Horrible experience always but to carry out . This time I decided last min to eat inside because I found parking . When my family already seating down the waitress tells me the food is carryout only and I'm not allowed to eat inside . When I specifically explained her I found a parking spot . There was no need for her to tell me it was ok to sit then tell me my food was to go only . I requested my refund due to feel so uncomfortable in front of my kids like if my money is not worth like everyone else . read more

Oh soo good! Small place with friendly service and plenty of parking in front. Ordered the Chilaquiles with egg and asada, asked for extra spicy and were nicely seasoned, not dry, not soggy. The barbacoa was goat meat and soup base was very tasty. Ordered to go Carne en su Jugo and Barbacoa tacos which were also nicely seasoned and worth ordering again. Will need to double check to go orders as this was missing a taco. They serve blended drinks, margaritas and Mexican beers, which will try on the next visit. To end we ordered a coffee which was a little weak and churros which were good but the caramel dip tasted like goat caramel and was watered down. Overall, Will definitely return as there are other items i want to try and the portions were plentiful. read more

I've been coming here for years now. Use to recommend this spot to EVERYONE! The food is good when they serve it right away and not leave it sitting there for minutes . Each time service gets worst and worst . Food gets served late; utensils are provided 10 minutes after food is brought to the table . Have to remind the server a couple times to bring drinks that are missing . When asking for salsa , limes, etc. the server almost ALWAYS forgets and never brings it . Also seen the cooks a couple different times grab their phones and then go straight back to handling food. On our last visit saw server handle money and then go straight to handling food. This place used to be really good our Sunday morning spot . They used to play music the ambience was nice servers were really nice ! . So sad it has changed so much . read more

Got chilaquiles verdes with eggs & asada to go. The chilaquiles were soggy with barely enough green salsa they tasted mostly like oil. The agua de Jamaica just tasted like straight water w/sugar & it barely had any ice. I really wanted to like this place but what I got just wasn't good. And the chilaquiles I got were $22. read more

We love pika!! It's rare going to a place and not knowing what to order because u just love everything they have. For breakfast I usually get the chilaquiles rojos the potatoe tacos are really good with the carnitas on top! read more

Wait time is just bad we waited over an hour to finally get our food drink we're given 20 minute after we sat down

Came here during my lunch break. I called my order to make sure I can pick up and go but during the call the lady taking my order seemed very distracted and it was a bit frustrating. When I arrived I wasn't acknowledged because the two ladies (one at the counter and the other behind the juice bar) were carrying about their conversation completely ignoring me. Finally when I was acknowledged I was told my food was still not ready and had to wait an additional 15min. So finally get the food and leave. WORST part of the experience was that as I was eating my torta, there was a big long dark hair smack in the middle of my torta. I felt it it my through and had to cough up the food to get it out. I was so upset and disgusted I didn't even bother to call because I was already far. But PSA check you food. read more

Pinchi lugar pedorro. Se. Veían bien chucky el restaurante en las fotos pero La torta ahogada está bien mala, y el pan estaba durísimo. El dogo salió más helado que la coca. Se tardaron mucho para atenderme en la entrada y duró mucho para que saliera la comida . Saben andar más en el TikTok que en la cocina las muchachas . Ala mejor ay comida mejor en el menú pero la visita estuvo mal para mi. Échenle ganas, pobrecito el dueño ... read more

Food was amazing! It's so rare to find a torta Ahogada spot with authentic taste. Definitely best one I've tried in all over SoCal

The salsa on the torta had a weird taste, metallic sort of. I really wanted to like this place. Disappointed. Also had the carne en su jugo, just sad too. No taste, bland honestly. read more

So been here just once for the Torta Ahogada(Dipped Sandwich). This was very very mediocre no cap. The salsa for the torta was pretty bland, the hot sauce was ok. Not horrible, but id rather go to Chiva Loca for my bext torta ahogada. Buddy of mine said their other plates are pretty good, specifically the Carne en su Jugo(beef stew). Might give it a another shot to try the plate, will pass on the Torta tho. read more

Looooooveeee this Gem!!! Stopped by just by driving by and went back and ordered on Uber ever since!! All their food is satisfying. Tastes just as if you were in Guadalajara. They serve the tacos dorados with meat and sauce just like they do in Mexico. I don't think I've seen that elsewhere. In other words super authentic. We ordered cafe de olla, chocomil, guacamole and tortas. We've tried it all and nothing has been unsatisfactory. They do get pretty busy on weekends but the staff manages very well. read more

I just got back from having dinner at this place. The tostadas were store bought and no longer made in house. When I asked the waitress she said that a lot of people have complained about this too and that the owners were making a lot of changes. When we got the bill they charged extra for adding pork feet to the pozole. (Pork feet already should be in the pozole like it was before?!) When I asked why she charge me extra she said I did see that but the system is charging it. When I asked to speak to a supervisor she said that she was gone but that I can call her tomorrow. I used to love this place before but with this change of quality of food and the charge for everything I will no longer support this business. read more

Muy buena comida , señorita gina muy amable y atenta al servicio mio y de mi familia , Gracias read more

*** tortas ahogadas in Paramount, CA & life is good *** ENVIRONMENT Pika is located in a small plaza in the small town of Paramount, CA. SERVICE Service is so quick at this place. So appreciated when I'm hangry. Lol. MY FAVORITE PART... I loved the torta. And their cute little logos for "Pika." You have to look at their website: https://www.pikatortas.com NOT SO FAVORITE PART... I wasn't crazy about the super nachos Mexicanos. THE GRUB This is a family-owned and operated restaurant specializing in Guadalajara Jalisco-inspired cuisine. When I say I wasn't crazy about the nachos, it's because I was enamored with the torta. My I'm-home-alone-and-already-drunk-AF-so-I'm-not-driving-anywhere order from 4/10/21 order: Torta Ahogada w/ Pork Carnitas $10.99 Aguas Frescas (Small Horchata) $3.99 Guacamole, Chips & Beans $9.99 Items subtotal $24.97 Warning if you order on GrubHub or elsewhere for delivery: You'll pay some fees. Current delivery fees for online & mobile orders: Delivery fee $3.99 Service fee $1.31+ Driver benefits $3.50 Sales tax $3.46 On 4/23/21, I submitted a totally different order: Grilled Chicken Salad Bowl w/ Cream Dressing $12.99 Super Nachos Mexicanos w/ Pork Carnitas $12.50 Items subtotal $25.49 The salad bowl was scrumptious. I would go with this for a healthier lunch, but in the future I'll probably stick with one of the tortas. Finally, this is definitely a place I would love to meet up with the girls after work for drinks and a good meal. Check out their cocktail menu! PARKING Free parking in a shared lot. TIP If you like spicy stuff, their tortas are dipped with and come with extra sauce in either spicy or mild. The spicy sauce has an incredible punch without being unbearable. I felt kind of addicted to it. OVERALL I'm not sure why I waited so long to try this place, but it's a welcome restaurant in the City of Paramount. There is another location in Huntington Park. Love it! | Food: 4.75 | Service: 5 | Environment: 4 | Price: 4 | read more

In the middle of the city of Paramount between all the other Mexican restaurant stands one that really sets itself apart. Pika Tortas is not only what the name says but a great place if you want to experience Mexican Food Guadalajara style . While the wait has been a bit long at times it's due to the following and even then it's nothing to crazy . The restaurant is small and right now only has outside sitting as I posted on the pictures . Nothing fancy here or lavish just great food! Service - The food servers here are extremely friendly and polite. From the movement you get here they great you and seem like they really want to ensure you have a good dining experience . Food- Here is where they really set themselves apart from all the other places in paramount . They specialize on Guadalajara style Mexican food . Dishes such as Carne en su jugo, Tortas ahojadas , tacos de canasta and many more . If you're looking for a different place I highly recommend it . read more

Must try torta hogada! Hands down spicy and delicious! Combo is the way to go with this torta.

Decided to check out this spot for the Tortas ahogadas. Server with ginger hair (didn't get her name) told us to sit anywhere and she would be right with us. 10 min passed and she didn't even hand us menus or ask what we would like to drink. 2 more parties arrive and sit down she greets them hands menus and ask what they'd like to drink. My husband and I are like okay maybe she will come to us next. She proceeds to ask the next party and attends them we realize that it's been 20 min now with no service so we leave. The food looked good but the customer service is ass. Was looking forward to ordering and trying out this spot to make it my new go to for tortas but absolutely not. So disappointed would not recommend. read more

First time coming here and got the 3 Chicken Flautas. A La Carte - Minus the rice and beans . Then when I received my 3 chicken flautas that I was thinking we're going to have guacamole and great toppings for 10.00 - It just came with a punch on sliced lettuce . That's it. Horrible . Then I went back to complain and they informed me that I only can get them with guacamole if it I ordered W/ rice and beans. That's terrible service . I wasn't hungry for that much food. Who serves flautas with no guacamole??? I will never go back again. I didn't want to give any stars but I guess u had to chose one to post . read more
