Best chilaquiles ever. Went for some lunch - been craving for some chilaquiles so ordered it, added eggs, carne asada, and green sauce. It was pretty pricey (over $20) but was freaking delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection, nothing was oily, the green sauce was tangy and flavorful, and there was the right ratio of chips, sauce, cheese, eggs, and meat. Would def be back. read more

I recently stopped by for some Mexican food and overall had a pretty good experience. The serving sizes were great and definitely worth it. The prices were fair for the amount of food you receive. The chilaquiles were honestly very delicious and full of flavor -- definitely my favorite item we tried. Unfortunately, I would not recommend the quesadilla. My son did not enjoy it very much. As for the service, it was not the most welcoming experience. 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. read more

Found this spot while looking for local traditional Mexican breakfast places. It's tucked into a small strip mall, a little hidden, but the place itself was definitely busy. It's a combo dine-in restaurant and pan dulce bakery, and it seems like the chilaquiles are the popular item or least it's main item and tacos. We ordered one red and one green chilaquiles plate, both with steak. The food came out pretty fast, and the ordering process was smooth. I really liked the flavor of the verde chilaquiles, but the steak was unfortunately very dry and tough. The highlight for me was definitely the pan dulce fresh and really good. I'd come back for the bakery items alone. read more

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! read more

Taquearte California - Red chilaquiles with steak and eggs. - Mexican Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

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!! read more

Taquearte California - Chilaquiles divorciados - Mexican Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Chilaquiles are fully customizable and the portions are generous. Ingredients were high quality and fresh. All the employees I encountered were nice even though they were busy and I got the impression that everyone was working with urgency to get their customers fed. The dining area was clean and was constantly being cleaned by employees. There's free water. It was a good place to catch up with with a friend or family member. The ambient volume was high enough so that the table next to you can't hear every word you say, but low enough so that I didn't feel overstimulated. read more

Another recipe of delicious chilaquiles! Will not disappoint for those enthusiasts of such. It's a 1st come 1st serve making line outside, unless you are doing takeout. They don't serve rice or beans so you know. The portion is plentiful with choice of eggs, chicken, steak or chorizo. When you ask for spicy they are not playing around, it bites. Coffee is decent and there's a bakery connected to the restaurant which you can buy there and have while you wait on your meal. Good service and comfortably casual. I love the simple small place keeping noice level and ambience moderate. read more

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. read more

My wife and I came for the first time yesterday. We both really enjoyed the Chilaquiles. She ordered the mild and I ordered the hot. We both had them with eggs and chorizo. My wife felt hers were too mild and not as flavorful, but the server recommended that when we order next time that she ask that her order be more spicy, but not the traditional hot serving. This suggestion was great to know for our next trip. By far one of the best I've had out in a restaurant. The customer service was fantastic. They were extremely friendly and took fantastic care of us. There's plenty of seating, but I can't see that it does get crowded for a reason. We're looking forward to coming back soon to try other dishes. We try very hard to support small local businesses. This place deserves your patronage. read more

Taquearte California - Classic red chilaquiles - Mexican Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

I went in because of the hype, but this plate was honestly disappointing. This was supposed to be red chilaquiles with NY steak and chorizo, but the execution fell very short. The chilaquiles were overly watered down, lacking the richness and depth you expect from a proper red sauce. Instead of being saucy and bold, they were soggy and diluted, almost like the sauce had been stretched too thin. The "NY steak" was the biggest letdown. What was served looked no different than a generic beef steak cut thin, uneven, and lacking the texture or quality you'd expect from an actual New York strip. If you're advertising NY steak, the cut and presentation should reflect that. This did not. The chorizo was acceptable, but it couldn't save the dish. Overall, the plate looked sloppy and rushed, especially for a place that gets so much praise. That said, I'm willing to give them one more try, because everyone can have an off day. But based on this experience alone, I would not recommend it outright. If you're curious because of the hype, try it at your own discretion, just set your expectations accordingly. $22 Dollar plate. read more

The food here can be good, but overall the experience is very hit or miss. I've been here a few times now, and the quality of the food varies quite a bit. One visit the food is really good, and the next time the chicken is under-seasoned and the overall quality just isn't the same. The consistency definitely fluctuates. Another issue is that it's basically impossible to place a take-out order over the phone. They answer the phone, immediately put you on hold, and then forget about you. Every single time I've called, I end up waiting around 10 minutes before realizing no one is coming back to the phone and I have to hang up. Because of that, I now have to drive there in person just to place my order. Then when you finally place the order and get your food, you get home and realize they got the order wrong. Normally mistakes happen and it wouldn't be such a big deal, but when you're paying around $50 for two plates, accuracy and consistency shouldn't be this much of a problem. Good food when they get it right, but the overall experience and consistency really need improvement. read more

I went to Taquearte California today and ordered the classic green chilaquiles, these were honestly the best chilaquiles I've ever tried. The sauce had so much flavor, the chips were perfectly coated without being soggy, and I added scrambled egg + skirt steak which took it to another level. The steak was sooo good, super flavorful, tender, and seasoned perfectly. Every bite hit. The only thing that threw me off: I like my chilaquiles with beans, and for some reason they can't add them or even sell you a side of beans. Which is weird because they sell molletes... and the main ingredient is beans? When I asked, I was just told "nope" with no explanation. Overall, the food is a solid 10/10 -- flavor, quality, everything. But customer service and flexibility matter too. So I'm giving them (4 stars). Would I go back? For sure yes! read more

If you're chasing flavor over fancy, this is the spot. This unassuming hole-in-the-wall Mexican gem is the real deal. Don't let the modest exterior or lack of AC fool you -- the food here is packed with authentic flavor that'll instantly transport you straight to a Mexican kitchen. Their chilaquiles with eggs and steak are next-level -- crispy yet saucy, the red or green salsa (get both if you can!) hits the perfect balance of spice and tang. The steak is juicy and flavorful, and the eggs are cooked just right to soak into every bite. But the real star for me? Their quesadillas made with handmade corn tortillas -- thick, warm, and fresh off the comal. I got mine mixed with chorizo, carne asada, and mushrooms and it was a masterpiece. Rich, savory, and slightly smoky -- every bite tasted like it was made with love and tradition. Yes, it gets crazy busy at times, so be ready for a line (that should tell you something). It's order at the counter, find a seat, or take it to-go. The staff are super friendly and welcoming -- they make you feel like you're part of the family. The restaurant is simple but clean, which is all I need when the food's this good. If you're looking for Instagrammable ambiance, this might not be your place. But if you're looking for some of the best, most authentic Mexican food around, don't sleep on this spot. read more

Taquearte Pico Rivera delivers exactly what a solid neighborhood taquería should bold flavors, generous portions, and a menu that knows its strengths. The chilaquiles are the undeniable star crispy chips that hold their texture under a tangy, spicy salsa, with add ons like chorizo or bistec that make the plate feel extra hearty. The cheese chicharrón and aguas frescas also stand out, adding richness and freshness to the experience. Restaurant It's a small, no frills spot, but that's part of its charm. The focus is on well executed comfort food, especially tacos and chilaquiles, and the portions are big enough that many people end up sharing. It can get busy, and the wait system sometimes requires patience, but the flavors make it worth it. Overall, Taquearte Pico Rivera feels like a local gem casual, flavorful, and consistently satisfying, especially if you're craving Mexico City style tacos or a plate of chilaquiles that hits all the right notes. read more

My girlfriend wanted chilaquiles and someone recommended this place. Girl on the counter was rude, no social skills because she seemed bothered for having to deal with pesky customers. Although it is very common for restaurants to put the person with the least amount of customer service skills on the front, this restaurant takes the cake. Then we get our chilaquiles (I got red, girlfriend green), I realized they used cheese similar to Monterey or mozzarella (white grated cheese) on our food. Now, I my family is from Guadalajara and DF, we don't use that cheese on chilaquiles soni was very disappointed because I immediately hated the food. We ate because we had already paid but I didn't like it and my girlfriend told me we should've gone to El Guajillo or La Casa de la Abuela in Huntington Park even though we live in Whittier. The I look at the photos and I see they do use queso fresco on chilaquiles, so why did ours came with a different cheese?! If they run out we should've been informed and if it was an option we were not told. If you want real chilaquiles and good service check El Guajillo or La Casa de la Abuela both in Huntington Park read more

The customer service went downhill, the lady at the register looks like she hates her job and does not want to be there doesn't greet no smile always has a fuchi face. Also why are they automatically charging gratuity and not letting you know? They never did this in the past. Why tip for crappy customer service? She didn't even give me my receipt when I had gone the other day (mind you I went alone) my total was around $36 just for a plate of the verde chilaquiles classicos with scrambled egg and chorizo and a cup of their cafe de olla. read more
