I drive by Rivera's all the time and have been wanting to try their tacos. I was also excited by all the positive reviews on Yelp. Today I went for their Taco Tuesday. All their tacos were $1.75. I tried 3 different tacos including Asada, Carnitas, and Al Pastor. Each taco had plenty of meat on them. They also were sprinkled with onions and cilantro. The problem is they were bland. I added the mild green salsa but the blandness did not change. Wish I had liked them better. On a positive note the service was excellent and the woman that took my order was very friendly. read more

I am adventurous. Giving a shot at that hole in a wall restaurant, hoping that i find another hidden GEM, is just my style. I have noticed Rivera's for awhile now, I just never had a chance to try it. On this random day, i have decide to change that. My overall experience is alright. decent pricing similar to all the big chain fast food restaurants. The food is not bad. i don't have anything to complaint. Ordering to service is quick. read more

We ordered a pound of shredded pork and it came to $15 and change. The quantity was there, but the meat was alright. It wasn't salty, or dry, it had some flavor. Maybe we'll try a different kind of meat and see. But it's worth to try it for yourself to see if it's your cup of tea or not. read more

Rivera's is my favorite taqueria in Fullerton - and I've tried them all. Their service is always friendly - the food is made quickly - and their kitchen (clearly visible while ordering) is VERY clean. Their portions are generous for the price. I highly recommend trying their quesabirria tacos - or their cochinita (some of the best I've ever had). They also have a ramen birria that is a fun option to try something a little different. It's delicious. Right next door is a great liquor store so I like to pick up a canned cocktail to take home with my tacos. read more

This review is based solely on their breakfast burrito! Chorizo breakfast burrito was just okay. The chorizo was not too greasy and had good flavor. Didn't love the hash browns in it and they had no flavor. Appreciated it was meat "heavy," but also felt that it was definitely lacking in cheese and barely saw the egg in it. Also feels like it needs some cilantro, onion, or peppers in it to add to the flavor. Wished I would have subbed beans for hash browns and at a $12 price point, it was definitely a 3/5. read more

3 taco plate...asada and pastor. It lacked salt. The salsas didn't help either. I was really hoping they would hit the spot. Maybe I went too early?? Small little parking lot. Tiny inside with a few tables. Staff was super friendly. Place was clean. Love they had salsa bar with limes and carrots/jalepenos and radishes. I definitely want to give this spot another try when I am in the area since the other reviews are so high on this place. Note: Service charge for credit cards read more

NO CAP. THIS IS REAL!!! Holy sh...... I'm so lucky to find this place. Taco Tues? Nope, taco Wed too!!! 1.75 +tax !! I couldn't believe what a beautiful deal still exists in the world. We ordered most menu they have. I had birriya, asada, pastor, and chorizo. My hubby had birriya, 2 asada, 2 pastors, carnitas, and Pollo. Everything was exceptional taste. They weren't trying to save for meats. Red and green salsa were really delicious. I wish I just kept drinking it. It's absolutely worth it every penny. They have weekdays special also Mon- burrito/ Tue&Wed - taco / Thur , Fri.. sorry, I don't remember. Anyway, I highly recommend this place. Not for dining, because only 3 tables, to go order might be better. Definitely will come back soon! 070223 Update: Today, I ordered Consome as side. It was incredibly delicious Habanero sauce, green and red sauce... muaaah! And here's the info for daily special. Price 8.99+tax Mon: Burrito Tue&Wed: taco 1.75+tax (except Fish taco) Thur: Torta Fri: Plate I didn't get a chance to take a photo of my tacos :( That means.....

This taco spot got my husband and I through the worst of Covid quarantine in spring 2020. Their Taco Tuesday was wonderful. We would pig out on tacos and horchata and find some joy even though Covid was tough. Their carne asada is the best! Followed by their chicken. Sometimes I would get al Pastor but I preferred the very flavorful carne asada. We also really enjoyed their burritos and their sopes. The best sopes I've ever had! I haven't found anywhere else that makes them as good. I would get them with the carne asada and ask for extra green salsa that had the perfect spicy kick which would taste great with the fresh sour cream on top. We would stop at bootleggers on the way to get the tacos and pick up a pack of El Chango with sea salt and lime and the flavor combo was perfect. I can't recommend this place enough. Perfect hole in the wall Mexican place. It's take out only - no seating. You can order over the phone which I would recommend doing on taco Tuesday or you might be waiting a long time! read more

It was my first time here and I got two of their fish tacos for under $5.00. It was served with a fresh warm tortilla and chunks of grilled White fish. They had their own sauce that came with their fish tacos. I would describe it as like a Sriracha mayo or something like that. It was served with fresh cilantro and fresh diced onions along with freshly sliced beets, pickled carrots, and a jalapeño pepper. I have to say this grilled fish taco was absolutely amazing! Oh, and when I ask about hot sauce, the nice gentleman who worked at the cashier suggested this spicy oily sauce and let me tell you, it was pretty spicy. They make your tacos fresh to order. It's a must try small boutique taco joint in the middle of a Fullerton neighborhood. The service here was excellent, they were so kind and welcoming. They seem like very happy employees which is great because when food is served by grumpy and rude workers, the food somehow just doesn't taste that great, right? Lol It was a clean taco shop and they all wore masks and practiced social distancing guidelines. The parking lot was small but sufficient. Anyhow, thanks for the tasty fish tacos and a great First time experience. Please "like" my pictures and reviews if it has helped you read more

I'd go every Tuesday lol it was a simple buffet they had every meat you needed, the carne asada was good, the chicken was good, the barbacoa was friggin delicious my favorite was the Al pastor. And the mushrooms ... usually at buffets have dry or oily food and this was pretty damn good to be honest. I think it's a solid business plan to do taco Tuesday like this. On top of all that the mini churros were good, the salsas were delicious. The chips were alright I think that's the only thing that was ok for me but overall I enjoyed myself very much. ALSO!!!

The options at this taco Tuesday bar are seriously impressive--at least six different proteins, nacho cheese, pozole, all kinds of salsas and toppings, plus four flavors of agua fresca to try. And to top it all off, you can end your meal with crispy, sweet churros! This spot is definitely worth checking out, especially on Tuesdays. Come out and have some fun!

While the carnitas were tender, they weren't as juicy as I hoped. They provided only three tortillas that lost their warmth quickly in parchment paper. The rice had a good texture that had the right amount of firmness. I also tried the guacamole, which had a somewhat fluffy texture with a pleasantly light and savory flavor. While not affecting my review of this restaurant, I wish they served a mole dish.

The toppings complimented the fried shrimp beautifully as it added freshness with every bite. Al pastor - oily and I've had better elsewhere. Chicken - they use the same toppings for every taco and it just didn't work with the chicken. It was too acidic and overwhelmed the chicken flavor to the point I couldn't taste the chicken. I can see why the place is popular because for their meat tacos, they don't skimp on meat at all. The tortillas felt a little too oily for me, but that's personal preference. I'd come back for the battered shrimp tacos. Tables were kinda gross, but it's a counter ordering system so not unexpected. It's also super busy on week nights probably due to the deals they offer.

This IS home cooking! Gracias, great food, great bohemian…read moremusic, beautiful decor. Loved the food so much we took to go for work lunch. Lol. Will definitely will return with more people.

Was pleasantly surprised by this place! We were actually planning to check out another nearby taco…read moreplace and stumbled over here by pure fate, due to the lack of parking at our original intended spot. Thankfully, Kahlo shares a private lot with a few other businesses, so we had no trouble finding parking. It was pretty crowded when we arrived, but we were able to secure the last table. The menu is mostly in Spanish, but the staff is super nice and accommodating. We ordered the enchiladas verde plato and the carne asada plato. Both came with SO much food and offered a ton of variety! I especially loved the carne asada plate. It was honestly such a great value, considering it even came with soup and mini tacos, plus some chorizo. They also offer nacho fries with the melted cheese I love.. sooo good! Will definitely return!
