    Green chilaquiles (not spicy) with scrambled eggs and chicken.
    Julie L.

    Food was delicious! When you walk in if there's a line someone greets you with their menu so you're ready to order when you get to the cashier. The house music makes it that much better for the vibe. We sat at a table with a mirror so it was fun to take a few selfies.

    This location in Pico Rivera is definetly popular for a good reason. I tried their quesadillas and it was okay, handmade tortilla but a little too much onion for my liking. The chilaquiles are my favorite. I like how you can customize the sauce from red or green to spicy or not. You also have the option of different proteins. It is a small location but they are quick to bring food out. If going on a weekend you are looking to wait a while but it is worth it.

    When arriving, a server instructed us to wait outside and she would call us in to order as tables cleared up. This is not your typical restaurant where you sit down and wait for your order to be taken. Once you order, you look for an open table and sit down. It took about 10 mins or so for our food to get to us since it was made fresh, it was worth every minute of waiting! When the food came out, the first thing was the Quesadilla. Steaming hot off the grill. Wish I had a pic of the cheese pull. I got the classic chilaquiles divorciados, which are not spicy what so ever. The cashier will ask if you want them spicy or not. Since it was our first time there, I wanted to enjoy the food. We also got a side of scrambled eggs and chorizo which was not spicy at all. The food overall was super delicious and had the perfect amount of salt. Most places I've been to have either little to no salt or too much. The staff is super friendly and polite. The restroom is forever everyone from what I noticed and is very clean. They play music that isn't too loud where you have to yell to hear your party speak. I would definitely come back.

    A hidden gem in Rivera to say the least . While they do have a limited menu the food is not limited in flavor and taste ! At first glance we noticed a line outside there's no reservations you basically just stand in line first come first served . The line moved quickly which was a good thing . As we can in we noticed a unique and inventive concept a restaurant in one side of the front and the other side with its individual doors a bakery . The restaurant was spacious and inviting several customers with families enjoying good traditional food. Ok so before we came here we heard about how good the food was so now I had to try it out for myself . I ordered chilaquiles divorciados (means two different sauces a green side and red ) spicy of course and a red chilaquiles traditional (non spicy) . Queso quemado (a burnt cheese chicharon that is a must to try and a taco with nopales , pork chops , chorizo and onions . The chilaquiles were crispy and not drowned in sauce with over easy eggs and steak (you can get different types of proteins sick as chorizo , chicken , steak and pork chops) cream cheese and of course a delicious sauce . These were a hit and loved it ! The taco was just ok and not really my favorite but still okay . The coffee was amazing they had self serve cafe de olla and regular coffee . The bakery is an added plus since I was able to get a fresh baked sweet bread to enjoy my coffee. Over all a good experience and a tasty one . I've been here twice in the last two weeks so I guess I liked it and so will you!

    If you're a chilaquiles lover, this spot is a MUST. I finally checked out Taquearte in Pico Rivera and wow... I get why people hype this place up. The chilaquiles are the star of the show. The tortillas are fried so they stay crispy even after being covered in salsa, and the flavors are bold and super authentic. I tried the chilaquiles with meat and eggs and every bite was packed with flavor. The salsa has a really nice kick without overpowering everything else. The tacos are also solid, especially the campechano style with different meats combined. Everything tastes fresh and made with care, and the portions are generous. It's a smaller spot and it can get busy, but the food is definitely worth the wait. If you're in the Pico Rivera / Whittier area and craving legit Mexico City style tacos and some of the best chilaquiles around, this place is worth the stop. Definitely coming back to try more from the menu.

    The chilaquiles was so good . Service was excellent, fast and attentive. The sauce was excellent and the crunch tortilla chips was amazing . Variety of salsa they bring to your table.

    Not too bad but it can be a little pricey. My husband said the chilaquiles verde picoso was ok. We paid $32 for 1 coffee and 1 chilaquile verde with chorizo, 2 eggs and a small piece of meat. A little pricey for my taste. Service is just ordering at the cashier and you find your own seat. The menu is very small but my in-laws love this place.

    The line out of the door isn't too long of a wait if you're not in a hurry or super hungry. I got there around 11:30-ish on a Saturday morning and it was pretty busy! I wanna say I maybe waited around 30-ish minutes in line. The menu is simple and to the point, which is nice because no one likes a super overwhelming menu. I will say, they should consider an iced coffee option. I ordered the chilaquiles verdes Classicos, which are non spicy and with an over easy egg. The egg was a little on the tougher side texture wise, I'm super picky with my eggs though. The cafe de olla could be better, does not have the spice punch taste I normally get with cafe de olla. This is a personal preference but I was looking at the health grade (after I sat down), and they had a letter B. Now I'm super big usually on checking this, but didn't this time and that also might have slighted my judgement. The chilaquiles aren't anything special in my opinion! Overall I'd give it 7/10. The service was friendly at the door, but after that they definitely forget about you. The music is also a little on the louder side for a cafe/restaurant vibe.

    Chilaquiles rojos con steak y huevo frito. Deliciosos!

    This place is smack your momma good! The chilaquiles here are sooo deliciously spicy. I left with a huge smile and a full belly. We ordered one of each of the red and green ones with eggs and steak. The steak was perfectly cooked. The eggs were a little under but cooked with the hot salsa. The flavor of both salsa were on point! My favorite was the red. It's a small place and you order first then sit. It gets packed during breakfast and lunch! Service was great too. Its place is definitely meeting the hype and worth the wait!

    The chilaquiles here are by far my favorite! The Classic Green Chilaquiles are not too spicy but still have some spice to it for a delicious flavor and small kick. The chicken is so good with it, but I can't wait to try the steak one day because someone next to me had it and it looked so yummy. The service was pretty quick today, I have came before on a busy day where the line is out the door. Taquearte having a line out the door is no surprise because this is one of my favorites. The mini bolios were so soft and dipped in the green salsa is amazing. The jamaica was so refreshing and not too sweet. The inside has plenty of seating to enjoy your meal inside and it is not too loud and you can still have a conversation and eat comfortably. The crew also cleans up very quick after someone leaves.

    Chilaquiles Verdes W/ Chorizo
    Peter L.

    Been here about 4 times now and everytime I am blown away. The chilaquiles are phenomenal and most likely my favorite in LA. Personally like the chorizo. Extremely flavorful and it goes amazing with a Mexican Coke. The restaurant is very home feeling and there is a panaderia attached to it! There can be a wait time if you get there later in the morning but the line goes quick.
