Terrible taste, new owners food not as it has been for many years, change of ingredients and very bland, was a landmark in the area but now just an average fast food joint read more

The portions are smaller than expected. I was pretty disappointed with the size of the chili cheese fries. The chicharron burrito was underwhelming when compared to other other options in the area. I wish they had rice, this location only uses beans. Likely won't be returning. read more

We've been coming here since 1965 and have never had a bad meal! Sorry if your fries were over cooked but we love our crispy fries, special quesadilla and special burrito are to die for! read more

Been coming here since I was a baby! Love this place. My favorite is beef and beans and cheese with green chili. My family calls them "Blow outs" because they are so stuffed with deliciousness they tend to fall apart! Parking is on the corner of Beverly and Paramount and is hard to get to and is cramped. The inside only seats about 20 people and they are a cash only store. If you can deal with all that you are in for one of the best burritos of your life! Again, CASH ONLY!!! read more

I refuse to try anything else on the menu besides the #17 bean, cheese and red beef burrito. So big and tasty that it requires both hands. It's either shredded beef or barbacoa I'm not exactly sure but I'm absolutely in love with it. Plus the consistency of the flavor has not let me down once. If you love spicy ask for the red sauce inside the burrito or on the side. It's not thick at all and looks harmless but it's not and after a few minutes will make you sweat like your in the gym. IT IS CLOSED ON SUNDAYS so keep that in mind. Hope you have a chance to try it. read more

So I've driven by this place a few times, and decided to stop by today. The first thing I would like to mention is that this place is not a true Mexican spot and is more like Tito's tacos (which is better than this place). I ordered a hard shell taco and a #17 (Beef,beans,cheese, and red chili burrito) and a small drink. All for about 8 bucks. The hard shell taco was pretty good, but too salty for my liking. The burrito was pretty big and came with a lot of meat! BUT it was also salty!! And not spicy. Their hot sauce is pretty bland and not spicy either. What I did like was that this place had parking and a small dining area with a fireplace. The service was great and speedy! Would I come back? Maybe, if I'm craving super salty food. read more

This place has been here since when I was a puny little kid. Though I just barely went to it the other day. It's a cash only place and they only serve Asada & Carnitas for your soft tacos. I want to say this place is quite good. They have multiple choices of items on the menu but these were the items I tried. Next time I'll get a breakfast burrito or something else but I'll be back for sure! read more

John making it right by making something special for me, the grilled cheese burger! I was craving one. Only place i go too is called Apolos in Victorville. But it's Raining, cold and I had to have me a cheese and beans burritos. I told I was still Hungry but craving a burger. He asked the staff to. Hook me up. Shit hit the spot! John tells me if its not in the menu he'll make it! Love that attitude! read more

The Mexican American food here is good (this spot does not serve Mexican food), especially if your high or drunk. Unfortunately I think the employees are high or drunk when they take your orders or make your food. This is the third time in a row they've screwed up our order. Being that I live 15 minutes away I am certainly not gonna drive back to get the burrito they charged me for but forgot to include. In the past they used give hella bags of chips with your order. On this most recent trip they only gave one small bag of chips for three burritos and 6 tacos. At least they gave us salsa. Also it's a good thing this place closes early because if they were open late someone would definitely get shot here eventually...if it hasn't happened already. read more

Hard shell tacos and breakfast burrito were both awful. Tossed the tiny spam, with disgusting bacon and egg burrito in the trash. $2.80 for a teeny tiny hard-shell taco that I think was picadillo. One and done! read more

My son and I had a mean craving for a ground beef taco and we wanted them made and served. In other words, we didn't feel like cooking. So Lupe's came to mind. Oh how we anticipated them from the night before and just couldn't wait. Next day go to the ATM got our cash and sons in tow and went to order (all happy) our 8 tacos. Blech. Something had changed. The meat was mushy, lettuce stringy and soggy and just nasty. We each ate one and threw out the batch. Eff it. We made Boboli pizza instead. What a huge disappointment. No bueno. read more

Disappointed!. Just left with my bean tasting burned with no flavor. My fries burned taste like old grease. Sad!. Waste of money should have went to Lupes#2 read more

Wow! What a yummy find! Super happy we drove here to enjoy these crunchy tacos! The burritos were delicious also! We will be back! Cash only:) read more

Purchased 3 burritos and 1 order of taquitos. The burrito order was 1 Carne Asada- 1 Chile Verde and 1 Chile Relleno. First off Carne Asada, was extremely greasy. Grease coming out all over the burrito. Couldn't even eat half of it. Chile Relleno burrito was good, needs more salsa. Chile verde was good too but needed two things. More salsa, meat was dry and it had too many bell peppers. Taquitos were probably the best thing we had from this order. Two taquitos with plenty of shredded meat inside and guacamole. Not sure I will be returning but if I do- I'll try the Chile verde and Coke Relleno with extra sauce inside. read more

This place is always real good. Tacos are amazing and the green shredded meat burrito . Must try .

Love love love the special quesadilla with pastrami. Mmmmm been goin here since year 2000

10/27 3.5* Lupe's Tacos 8653 Beverly Pico Rivera Good taco place with private parking and a set-aside dining area Loved the bean with green chile burrito They don't serve chicken?! Refreshing jamaica agua fresca read more

Mom an pop restaurant at it's best. Perfect little spot right on the corner of 2 main Blvd. Parking is a breeze resemblant of a retro Rolled Diners. Staff is helpful and quick. Grabbed an Azada burrito and it was definitely well proportioned. Well worth the price and then some. Had to grab a large "agua fresca" fountain juice to wash that baby down. Jamaica was on point not too sweet not to bitter... Nice large cup. Most definitely coming back for more read more

Lupe's tacos has excellent food. Landmark in Pico Rivera. The Best hard shell tacos. Beef burittos.

I have allways bought like maybe 10 minimum burritos for the week but the price went up just for a bean and cheese with Chile and not only did the price go up but the burritos got smaller if your going to raise the price at least keep the same size of burrito not raise and give a smaller portion read more

The old battles with Tonias is over and Lupes still stands I love it here Make a burrito with fries in it and you'll be tops; fries and chili cheese burrito is a good start Chorizo and fries as well Go get yours youngster!!!! read more

This place is a local cornerstone, I went here as a kid and I can't wait to introduce it to my kids as well! The beef tacos are top notch, the bean and cheese burrito is also second to none. You can't go wrong with the Chile relleno burrito either! It's CASH ONLY so come prepared! There is a 7/11 across the street if you forget. read more

You will be so disappointed here. My family has been in Montebello/East Los Angeles since 1910 up on Evergreen. I've eaten at practically every burrito spot thru to Whittier. You have to miss this place~ YUP JUST PASS ON BY. Do yourself a favor. I tried the green chili burrito and it was kinda watery. My aunt had tacos that she liked. But my sister had the crane asada~ she said it was old tasting like dried leather. We will not go back here and this was my first time....... read more

I love their Chile Relleno Burrito and small soft tacos. If you like extra Hot sauce they have some orders prepared with it. The only downsides are " Cash Only" & Parking. Need to find parking on the side streets. read more

LOVE the bean and cheese burritos here! It's a home made burrito my abuela use to make, without having to make it myself. While I was a college student in Long Beach I would crave these burritos so much and while my dad was going through his chemo therapy treatments he would crave these as well. read more

THE BEST Bean & Cheese Burrito! My late Father for some reason always called this place Bea's. I don't know why. I don't remember going there as a kid either, but once we started going there we always go back. I like the #14, a green chile, bean & cheese burrito. It has real roasted strips of green chile. I ask for it "skinny" meaning smaller because it's a hunka hunka burrito. My brother likes the #17 burrito with red chili, this one has meat in it, mom likes the hard tacos which are deep fried and piled high with fresh lettuce and thick shredded cheddar cheese. The taquitos are good even though they have the old ball park watery guacamole. The fries are really good, i don't know how they do it, but they may blanch them first and then fry to order. We recently started ordering the tostadas too which I like without meat, mom likes with meat. Their quality is good, always, it never changes. It's not fancy, you order to go or there are a few tables to sit at outside. The one guy there always remembers me, and I don't have to ask for lemon or green sauce, he knows. Cash only. Irritating, but true. Old school. read more

Been coming here since I was a young lad. This place has never done me wrong. I still stay true by rotating the same few menu items since back in the day. I've pretty much tried everything Tacos, Burritos... Etc. So when ever I get the craving for some Lupe's I'm getting either the Soft Tostada, just like it sounds, all the goodies in a tostada, just wrapped in a soft flower tortilla. Or just a good ole classic Cheeseburger. And last but not least their Avocado Fries. Oh and did I mention, they have hella good prices ;) read more

Lupe's Restaurant - Soft Tostada w/ Beef (covered in Red Chili) - Mexican Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

This review is solely based on there hard shell tacos. I enjoy a good hard shell taco every other day and I don't mean Jacks. Anyways back to the taco here was pretty good with a good balance of meat to lettuce ratio. The meat did lack in flavor but the lettuce and cheese complimented the meat so it wasn't that obvious. The hot sauce was okay but not much of a kick so I might have to go back to ask if they have hotter options. The taco was under $2 which isn't bad because you may only be able to eat 3 or 4 because of there size. I need to go back and try some more of the menu to have more to say. read more

This places makes great burritos. I especially like their red beef and beans. The chile is a little hot but some like it hot and I'm one. We also liked their Chile Relleno burritos. read more

Lupes has been around forever and has ok food. i have only had the hard shell tacos and the green combo burrito. the taco is good but nothing spectacular that would make it stand out against others. the burrito is decent enough but if it werent for a good amount of nice shredded beef it would be forgettable. not enough cheese and the green chilis taste out of the can. al and beas is waaay better even gardunos in montebello close by would be a better choice. TIP: If you have never been there try not to go during peak lunch hours due to the lack of parking. the lot is very small so you may be out of luck. read more

I grew up in Whittier and my dad would go pick us up dinner from Lupe's once a month or so. It always seemed like it took FOREVER for him to drive out to Pico and come back home with the big cardboard box full of burritos, taquitos, homemade chips. Mmm, and green sauce, and red sauce, and sometimes a tostada... The last time I went was summer 2010 and it hasn't changed a bit. Same gigantor burritos, same smell, same wrappers, same authentic, lardy Mexican food. Yum. It only gets 4 stars instead of 5 because the guacamole is (I'm pretty sure) made from a mix instead of from fresh avos, and is kind of slimy and flavorless, and because the taquitos are always overcooked - to the extent that when you bite into one, you risk puncturing the roof of your mouth with a rock-hard, pointy tortilla shard. read more

Love the green chili & shredded beef! Burrito .Has not changed in 25 years Great beans read more

The red chili bean cheese burrito was fantastic. Will get it again. Canitas taco was mediocre. read more

If you like greasy food and you're not on a diet this is the place for you. It's a small place with very little patio seating so people usually just get it to go or eat in their cars. The green chili burritos are great and they are big for a burrito compared to other places like it around. The grease will seep through everything it touches so don't go throwing it on your car seat. Some tequitos, fries, and a drink thats a good lunch to me. Oh and they are a cash only business as well. read more

Haven't eaten here in about 50 yrs! Still as good as I remembered. Theyve always had the best bean and cheese burritos. And I had to find out today as I was in the area. Still a great spot for good authentic Mexican food. read more

Will never go back in the evening. Been coming here for about 25 years. About a year ago or so they changed the evening people including the cooks. Every time I go in the evening my food is Always way sub-par. This last time I went in I ordered a Red Chile Burrito double wrapped, extra beans, cheese, red chili and requested the burrito a bit crunchy. By the time I walked back to my car the person who took my order calls me that my burrito is ready (less than 1 min). Well, first bite on the way home the burrito just explodes from the side. Come to find out the burrito was not wrapped like a burrito, the tortillas were raw and there was no cheese, or red chili. Would I go back? - sure, but in the morning or afternoon. Ps. For great bean and cheese I recommend Santi's in Whittier. read more

Love this place. My favorite is the green Chile shredded beef with cheddar cheese burrito. It has so much juicy beef, the cheese is so melty, perfect green sauce spice but not too spicy. It's so BOMB!!! By the way CASH ONLY read more
