    Birria Quesatacos Combo
    AmyLiccet N.

    I dream of this place since we went. These quesabirria tacos are SO GOOD. The service was really quick and the food came out very fast. There isn't a lot of seating so that's a downside but these were so good it makes up for everything. Truly recommend this place to anyone who needs a birria fix SO GOOD!

    Birria Pizza

    I came specifically for the Birria Pizza, and it totally lived up to the hype--and then some. It was incredibly flavorful, tasty, and delicious. The tender, slow-cooked birria meat combined with that melting cheesy perfection brought all my taste buds together for the ultimate comfort food experience. Seriously, every single bite was heaven!

    Birria tacos with consome
    Erica H.

    Birria tacos were delicious. I ordered the 3 hard shell tacos with cheese and I was full! The other dish options looked interesting, like the grilled cheese birria. I'll have to try it next time. It is limited seating, no bathrooms so it will be good to eat when you're on the go or want to eat at home.

    Loaded Friess reall would be nice if they were a bit more crunchy but the flavor was REALLY good.

    Pulled over because I was craving some birria, so I got the birria quesadilla and my fiancé got the #1 and it was so good. They serve you a lot so you'll definitely get your moneys worth but it was bit pricey not gonna lie and the service was great.

    Finally tried this place. We found a new spot!!! I love Birria. It is my favorite. I also really enjoy ramen. Having them together was delicious!!! We will definitely be coming back here. Service was also great. Attentive and polite.

    From DTLA to Pico the best birria tacos I've had. And the horchata... OMG, so bomb. The workers are so cool, I'm definitely coming back, and I can't wait.

    I took my family to eat here for the first time, and I have to say this place is probably the best birria I tried around the area. I recommend this spot if your craving some birria.

    I've seen this place for years and have been wanting to go but the hubby always says no. So I came alone. WOW! I ordered a hard shell birria taco with yellow salsa. I wasn't gonna get cheese bur the wonderful employee, Nathalia, put half on without charge so I can try- soooo much better. You don't need salsa because the birria flavor is wonderful, but the yello salsa is damn delicious with the perfect kick! Lots of seating outside and very clean. They also hard great Rock En Español playing! Gonna force the hubby to come because he loves hard shell tacos!

    Just move back into a area I lived for many years well I a hop skip and a jump from from this mom and pop establishment. The California burrito was big and good flavor I love the way they cut it in half. Soft taco asada was great too. Lots of meat. My wife says the Birria tacos were bomb and my daughter thought the nachos were good surprise that the personal nachos was big. To think how big the bigger is?! I love mom and pops like this it's about the food prep not just making it. It's about the pride. Customer service was great like talking to your neighbor very detailed and knowledable. It's a small hole in the wall so it's a but noisy it's right in front of Washington blvd. Has a few chairs to relax and eat. Or to go as I did. This will be my go to since it's within a hop skip and jump from my house Thanks for your friendly service

(1) Mulita of Alpastor. The cost tacos are $4.25 each Mulita $6.25. With that said you would think the tacos would be top notch for the price. Alpastor 2/5, flavor is bland and not that good. Buche 1/5, horrible flavor they're not good at all. Mulita 3/5, was the best thing I got because of the cheese. Salsas 2.5/5 decent but not great. Tortilla: 2/5 Hand made, but under cooked. Service: 1/5 horrible customer service, server doesn't even look at you, and when you ask a question they get mad. The cashier is just as bad attitude. Overall I'll never come back, for the price there are better street tacos. Just have to drive to them.

I remember a video a restaurant serving chilaquiles but in Pico Rivera,I using Yelp to find the restaurant bingo found it the restaurant called Taquearte California/Duran Mexican Bakery in one building. The restaurant cross between Rosemead Blvd and Beverly Blvd in shopping center on the left there's plenty parking on the street. Found parking just walking distance from the restaurant right ways we notice the restaurant is packed but there's a sign to have a seat and wait. We got a staff member hand a menu and order to the cashier. We look at the menu then we notice people were coming in and getting in line behind us. My wife order the Verdes classics not spicy with a egg on top. I order the same item but with egg and steak m,the eggs and steak are $4.50 each then we order our drinks she got Jamaica and I got a Mexican Coke both are refreshing with a meal are having. We're surprise our meals just arrived at the table so quick my wife couldn't wait to tasted the chilaquiles she love the chilaquiles she this were the best chilaquiles I ever tasted she please. First the chili Verde sauce amazing good so much flavor with right citrus acid in sauce that make the sauce good,but chips were crunchy and hold up to the sauce and cheese add more intense flavors to the dish with egg make everything creamy with Yolk it so good. If like chilaquiles you need to come to Taquearte California in Pico Rivera.

The staff mostly stared at us, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable during our visit. this change the atmosphere. The songs were very catchy. The music is amazing, but the steering problem was uncomfortable. Nevertheless, the food itself was enjoyable enough that I do look forward to coming back again and trying more items from the menu.

I was very annoyed because I just thought it was going to be a quick turn around for some tacos! I almost left without the food because I had things to do! Lol luckily I stuck it out and when I tried the tacos I was very pleased. The meat was moist and flavorful. The lettuce and tomato were fresh. The salsa was good. I thought, I need to come back try other things. Fast forward to tonight - I finally returned. Again, the line was long and ordering took nearly 30 minutes before it was my turn. I ordered sopes de asada and tacos suaves de cabeza, lengua and pastor. It took over 30 mins to get the food but when it came it looked delicious and I thought all the items were very good. I ESPECIALLY loved the taco de pastor. It had great flavor and was so juicy! The lengua was very tender and had a good flavor. The cabeza was also tender with good flavor. They definitely season and cook their meats well. Too may places have very bland meats, and/or it's very chewy or dry or whatever else goes wrong. The asada on the sope was very tasty and it also was tender. I would definitely return. Do not come here if you're in a rush. This place is good if you have a lot of free time lol. It really is one cashier. There are no waiters. You have to ask the cashier for things you want like salsa or lemon or refills. I don't know why they don't get another person to help with the front, or another cook. So, just come, be chill, and expect to wait.

Keto taco - toasted/grilled cheese instead of a regular tortilla - needed to be done a little more on one side as the cheese wasn't quite toasty enough to stay in place to slightly resemble the shape of a taco. Bit hard to eat, covered my hands in grease. Asada tastes almost boiled, and this being my 2nd or 3rd time getting the Asada here, it consistently tastes like it was boiled and not grilled. Unsure of meat quality or preparation, but there are no grill marks and it's a bit chewy. Same with the al pastor. Tripa taco was bizarre. Strips of flat skin instead of the usual roundish, cylindrical shape of tripa (intestine). Usually a saltier, fattier meat than asada, which is my preference but the one here was lacking in flavor and the texture threw me off a bit. Tripa can be chewy - unless requested extra done, which is how I normally order it - but there was no saving this tripa. I think it needs to be sliced differently, the cuts made it inedible. Brother shared some of his chorizo taco and it was the better of the bunch. Red chorizo, TJ style, although it was also lacking a teeny bit in flavor... onions and cilantro to the rescue! Still, mediocre. Salsas were ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't think the tortillas were homemade. Service was fine, cashier takes your order, dude at the counter was chill and had a friendly attitude. Seating was limited. Mostly bar style seating but the majority was in front of a window and it had so much heat trapped from the glass that it was kind of uncomfortable. Other seats are too close to the bathroom. Good for a quick bite or just pick-up orders. Wouldn't plan a sit down/dine-in visit. Parking is scarce and has really small spots, wouldn't come if you're driving a pick-up truck or anything like that. Food was reasonably priced, which is good, however; the food was lacking so I would not return.
