The service was good. The food was just great. I had huevo rancheros..they are so good

Cantina style mexican joint! Definitely felt like a community spot, everyone knew each other coming in and out. We were craving some soup since we had alot to drink the night before. Food was fresh and delicious. My wife had the mexican meatball soup I had the enchiladas. felt like comfort food if I ever had a mexican grandma cook it. Felt like mi casa. Alot of people were drinking beers and watching the sunday football game so its a nice vibe not too crazy, definitely family oriented. People came in just to order the rice and beans and yes those sides itself were tasty! Service was great, the lady you can tell has been there for years and made you feel at home. Decor is vintage with the festive art, cantina always sets the vibes! read more

Great Food Always.Service great food is delicious yummy.Staff is awesome for quick and hot always.

Very disappointing experience. I went in around 2pm and the place was completely empty, which should have been a sign. My order was wrong, I asked for flour tortillas and was given corn tortillas, and they even had ashes on them. That's completely unacceptable. I also ordered capirotada and it was served cold. On top of that, my utensils were left sitting on the counter and later just tossed into my bag, which felt unsanitary and careless. read more

I stopped in needing some alone time. At first concerned, no one was in the restaurant. But then realized the time was between the rush. They had a nice and tasty burrito served with nice and fresh chips with two kinds of salsas. It was Excellent! read more

What a beautiful hidden little gem. Now let me tell you. When it comes to Mexican food I'm a hard critic. Like all of us Latinos I believe my abuela has the best cooking. But I recently lost my viejita and had been craving her albondigas. I went in nervous, kept my hopes low but boy was I wrong. From the moment I smelled the fresh red chile they gave with the perfectly toasted tortilla chips I knew this would be different. That first bite took me back to the 90s coming home on a hot summer day from school to albondigas for dinner cuz to my abuela soup was good in any weather lol. It was well served not one thing missing the taste was superb. It's like my abuela made it for me. I can't wait to go back and try it again. Cocido caldo de pollo they have it all. And yes I had soup today and it's 86 degrees lol I'm old now. I get it lol read more

There were so many good choices on the menu it was hard to make a choice. In the end we had an egg and chorizo burrito and cheese enchiladas. Both were fantastic giant meals. The enchiladas also came with a salad, that we were not expecting. The horchata was one of the best I think we have ever had. read more

Tina's Mexican Restaurant - Chile colorado rice and beans. - Mexican Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

This has been one of my favorite stopping grounds for delicious home style Mexican food! It's a nice comforting restaurant setting set in a plaza where the Northgate market is located. The ceilings are filled with festive decorations (usually pinatas and bottle-shaped balloons!). Paintings on the wall are reminiscent of the works of Diego Rivera and other artists inspired by Mexican cultural traditions. The staff is incredibly welcoming. Candida and Joel are great servers and have known then for a long time. They make sure your drinks are never empty, especially with your coffee When I came in here this past Sunday for breakfast, I ordered the huevos rancheros. It was delicious. Aside from breakfast, I would recommend their chicken soup, beef tacos, and their carne asada nachos. Always looking forward to stopping by to say hi and have a nice, casual sit down meal read more

I was craving albondigas soup, I don't know how to make it and wanted a really good albondigas. So I googled best place for albondigas , it lead me to Tina's so I went there for the very first time, but I've passed it many times the albondigas soup was delicious guys juice was so tasty they give you roughly 3 huge albondigas a huge carrot, a huge potato, and some celery, I think I paid $15 for a large one which you could easily share with someone it included chips and salsa. The salsa was so fresh I had to go there the next day just to get the rice and beans because the rice was the bomb if you're craving a albondigas go here it's delicious!!! Found out the owner has been there for close to 40 years. read more

Ambiance beautiful traditional Mexican style. Very friendly, welcoming greeting. Attended extremely well. You can feel the care and love. We ordered what we normally order at another Mexican restaurant we frequented. Food is very flavorful and delicious . Prices are quite respectable in my opinion. Totally recommend this restaurant . I will most definitely be coming back very soon!!! ... one small note. It is cash only. Local ATM nearby. read more

Great service and great food. I will be a returning customer. Want to try the burritos next. read more

OMG - I love this place! I ordered breakfast burritos to go - chorizo & egg and potato & egg. They were sooo big and delicious! The salsa was great - spicy but good. The lady who served me - I don't know if she was "Tina" but she was the sweetest lady! I was just visiting, but I took burritos to my kids who live here and told them they have to visit this place! They lived the burritos too, btw. It's in the Northgate Gonzalez center and does not look that outstanding on the outside, but inside it's neat and cheery and clean. read more

I tried this place because of the reviews. $80 spent cash only. Menudo- Smelled BAD and didn't taste good. I was scared to eat it because of the smell. Enchiladas Suizas- Dry. Not as saucy as the photos on yelp. Carnitas tacos- Dry and flavorless Fresh salsa was good. I won't be going back. read more

Literally amazing!!! Food is delicious. Recommend to anybody who is near the area!! Will be returning read more

I'd like to say I had the pleasure of trying this establishment of business today, I ordered the wet asada burrito and the asada nachos, the size portion in the burrito was small but packed a punch of flavor, and the nachos left much to be desired I would recommend this for it's amazing customer service but food wise I'd like to try more of it's menu if it has better dishes or of it's excellent customer service can save it's food taste.

We saw the high reviews and were wondering how we've lived in the area for so long and had never eaten here. We decided one night to give the restaurant a shot. We started with a Jamaica and horchata and both were delicious. Homemade and authentic. The chips and salsa were also delicious. We both had high hopes for our food but the luck ran out there. The shredded beef tacos were scarce of any beef. The beans and rice were bland. My husband's shrimp were dry and rubbery. The fries are pretty much pre-cooked potato wedges. I have no way to explain them other than to say they were not good. On the plus side the service was A+. The other down side was that it says they take credit cards but really don't. They have an ATM located in the restaurant that they have you use to get cash. Im not sure how or why this place has such high remarks but I personally won't be back. read more

Come to eat on a Sunday with the family. Great service the best in town super friendly staff and food came out fast! The food was great taste homemade. I would recommend this place time and time again. You will not regret it, just make sure to bring cash as they only accept cash payment. Great food and great service is really hard to come by now a days but this place exceeded all expectations. I can't wait to go back to see what else I can grab on the menu! Thanks for the hospitality read more

Food is really good! Everything is freshly made and we'll definitely be coming back here again! We had the enchiladas and wet burritos! They only accept Cash though! Wish I would've known in advance! But no biggie they had an ATM. read more

Rated 1 Worse experience ever. The waiter was rude- disrespectful to us seniors. Never mentioned cash basis only. We were charged For refills didn't mentioned He was Goin yo charge and wasn't on the menu. He said he was Goin to call the police if we didn't leave. We ask for The bill but he was really rude and histated. read more

This place makes you feel like you're eating at home. The food tastes real (authentic and perfectly seasoned). Chips and salsa are a bonus. Love their salsa. Every time I eat here it satisfies without a greasy or heavy feeling afterward. And service is top notch too. read more

This is one of my favorite place to eat. I've been going here for many years. The food is homemade cooked and the service is awesome.

The food is bomb delicious! Beans, rice, burritos, it's all good, and super friendly environment.

This spot has a friendly staff and yummy food! I have not eaten there but only ordered take out. Each time, the portions are really good and taste is great! It's packaged really well too. The menudo was super good and they have it 7 days a week. The only downside is they are a cash only and are also a bit on the pricey side, although overall a good spot to keep in mind when you want great Mexican food. read more

I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad plate or experience. I reccomend the Enchiladas Suizas, Pozole and Menudo The Horchata (topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon) and Jamaica (served with the flower inside cup) are super good and served in a tall mug. read more

Tina's Mexican Restaurant - Enchiladas Suizas (with chicken) and Horchata - Mexican Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

I was in the area and craving Mexican for breakfast so I stopped here with my mom. It looks like a tiny place from the outside, but it's actually kind of spacious inside. The décor is cute and the interior is clean. I ordered the chilaquiles and an horchata, and my mom ordered the machaca and coffee. Their horchata is very good! The chilaquiles were good, although a bit soft, no biggie though. However, I didn't like the beans; I know canned beans when I taste them and these definitely tasted like canned beans, which was disappointing. I didn't get my mom's rating on her meal, but I liked the handmade tortillas that came with her dish. The salsas were tasty too, but the chips tasted a bit too oily. The service was good; the waitress always made sure my mom's coffee mug was refilled, but she stopped checking on us after a while and we had to ask for our check, even though we were the only ones there. I'm not in a hurry to come back, but if I'm in the area and craving Mexican, I'd be curious to try other items on the menu. read more

Went there this morning around 8ish. Ordered the #4 (Cheese enchiladas with red sauce) and a shredded beef hard shell taco, it was mediocre at best. They do not fry their tortillas so the enchiladas got soggy in the sauce. The rice was bland but the beans were good. Chips were warm and the salsa was good. Meal was $40 for 2 people...Waaaay over priced for what you get. I was really disappointed, I read the good reviews on yelp and went out of my way to come here. read more
