Red chilaquiles with steak and eggs.
Citlalic R.

I tried the non-spicy red chilaquiles with steak, and they were so good! The steak was flavorful, and the chilaquiles had just the right amount of sauce without being spicy. The service was fast, which made the experience even better. I also love that they have a bakery right next door--it's the perfect place to grab something sweet before you leave. Definitely worth a visit!

Tried green (spicy) chilaquiles, over easy eggs on top, also tried red (non spicy) chilaquiles. Over easy eggs on top, both were delicious, prepared well, tried cafe de olla, tasty, I recommend visit them during the week, waiting time for table is 5 minutes, weekends that can easily be over an hour, serving staff is very helpful and friendly, lady taking orders is very matter of fact, not the friendliest person in the world

Verdes Picositos Chilaquile

Definitely worth it! The chilaquiles are one of the best we have had! We ordered both the green and the red ones with over medium eggs. The green ones were spicier and very flavorful!!! You could really taste the tomatillo flavor. The red ones were also tasty. I ordered the medium ones just in case they were too spicy but not spice at all. I will definitely ordered the hot ones next time! We also ordered the mollete with chorizo and cheese!! Another great dish!!! All the right flavors!!! Service is good. They greet you and ask if dining in or for take out. We ate there so she assigned us a table and said to order first then we sit down. Very efficient and quick ordering system. Lots of tables available to sit at. There are three sections available.

First off if you're a fan of chilaquiles then I have a found place for you.. This place was amazing! I ordered the chilaquiles verdes picositos with an egg over easy and chorizo... Wow! Amazing, the sauce chip ratio was perfect.. The sauce was so flavorful coupled with the chorizo that wasn't too greasy was the perfect compliment! The small batches of hot sauce were ... Service was awesome, courteous and friendly staff which were friendly and attentive! The ambiance of the place is quaint, one side is the restaurant and the other side a bakery panaderia. Sooo after you finish your meal you can slide over to pick up some conchas (sweet bread) and cafe de la olla.. Perfect compliment!

Chilaquiles divorciados

The chilaquiles were absolutely terrific, including the extra spicy ones! The green and red sauces were tasty and the tortillas stayed crispy maintaining the perfect texture and flavor balance, especially with the queso fresco crumbles. The added over-easy eggs and carne asada rounded out a truly amazing meal!! This one stays in the rotation!!

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!

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.

Absolutely 10/10. No lie. Delicious , home made , flavorful just good . First time this Sunday morning with my daughter n law and we both loved our food. The spicy red flavor and the chorizo hits with the chiliquiles!!!! The flavors of all salsa were perfection , service was good as they were busy by 9 am we were seated on the side Patio which was nice for the breeze , not a fancy place just come for delicious food. Bakery inside with fresh breads and pan Dulce were very good bought some to take home. The reviews were spot on go see for yourself. Gets busy go early.

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.

We ordered our food to go. My boyfriend ordered the spicy red chilaquiles with beef steak and sunny-side-up eggs, while I ordered the green chilaquiles with beef steak, no spice, and no eggs. The reason for the missing star is because when we got to the park to eat, we realized they had mixed up our order. My green chilaquiles had the eggs, and his red ones had no eggs. I took a bite of the red ones just to see if I could maybe tolerate them, but they were way too spicy for me. It was disappointing, but I understand mistakes happen. Thankfully, my boyfriend was able to take the eggs off my green chilaquiles with barely any yolk left behind (I absolutely despise eggs), so it all worked out. The green ones still had a little kick, but nothing compared to the red. The other reason I docked a star was because the service wasn't the friendliest, which we also kind of understood since it was about 40 minutes before closing. They forgot our agua fresca, and I had to politely remind them we had ordered one. The girl helping us seemed a little bothered, but she did get it for us. Overall, despite the little hiccups, the food was good and we'd definitely come back and give them another try.

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.

Self-serve coffee and water.

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.

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.

The service has improved so much. The staff is attentive, friendly, and always makes sure everything is taken care of.

I tried the carne asada, fish tacos, and quesabirria. I was a little disappointed by how small the tacos were for the price. The quality also did not live up to the cost. There are taco stands that charge much less and have better flavor than all of the tacos I tried. The drinks were good and are probably the only reason I would come back. The service was just okay. I felt like since we did not order much, there was not much attention given to our table, even though the restaurant was not busy. Overall, this place is okay, but I do not think it offers enough value for the price.

This restaurant is in such an obscure location, I can't believe I was going to a Burrito Track across the street for so many years not knowing this place existed. Friendly staff and prompt service. The unfortunate negative is it's location and I'm referring to parking. There must be 8 business crammed into this lot. With a bar to the right and a laudermat on its left finding a parking spot is like winning the lotto. Now layer in one driveway and you have to make a 3 point turn just to navigate to leave.

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.
