About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Pico Rivera, Tina's offers an authentic Mexican dining experience that transports you straight to the vibrant streets of Mexico. Known for its hearty, home-style cuisine, this cozy spot on Telegraph Road is a beloved local gem where every dish bursts with bold, traditional flavors.

Start your morning right with their breakfast specials like Huevos Rancheros or Chorizo con Huevos, each plate crafted with fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned to awaken your palate. When it comes to lunch or dinner, Tina's truly shines with iconic offerings like the richly satisfying Wet Burrito—stuffed to the brim and smothered in savory sauce that comforts and delights on every bite. Fans rave about their Beef Tacos, which come packed with tender, juicy meat wrapped in warm, soft tortillas, as well as the comforting Tortilla Soup and the flavorful Chile Relleno Burrito.

The beverage selection, especially the creamy, sweet Horchata and the refreshingly chilled Agua de Limón served in frosty mugs, perfectly complements the boldness of the food, providing a well-rounded and satisfying meal. Let’s not forget the essential side orders—from crispy Chips with Guacamole to hearty beans and rice—that complete the authentic Mexican feast.

The atmosphere at Tina’s is unapologetically old-school, evoking a warm, nostalgic charm reminiscent of a classic family diner where the walls tell stories through vibrant, folk-inspired art. One guest described it as the kind of place their grandpa would have loved—a little weathered but full of character and soul. This unique ambiance blends seamlessly with the friendly, attentive service that makes every visit feel personal and inviting.

Visitors consistently praise the freshness of the salsas and the unmistakable flavor packed into every dish. “The best wet burrito around,” says one diner, highlighting the culinary expertise that Tina’s delivers despite its humble appearance. Others commend the attentive waitstaff like Jollel and Romy for making guests feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.

For anyone craving genuine Mexican comfort food with a side of heartfelt hospitality in Pico Rivera, Tina’s stands out as a hearty, flavorful destination that keeps locals coming back again and again.

    Wow! Some of the best Mexican Food in Pico Rivera that I have had. I had lemonade, Agua de Limon on 2 occasions. It is served in a chilled mug so it stays cold! The pico de Gallo is fresh and salsa roja was bomb! Best wet burrito around

    So first the "bad stuff." The place could use a refresh. It feels like a place my grandpa would have gone to in the 80s and probably should have a cigarette machine in the corner. But this might also add to the ambiance of the place as it has its own type of charm. The art is pretty cool. So know the decor may not be for everyone, but it has that old school quality you just can't fake. The food and service is what I want to share though. The lady offering service is great. Super welcoming and feels like she might be your Tia. I almost wanted her to get me cookie or something. The food was tasty. I had flautas which was perfect for lunch. Get a soft drink as well since they serve them up in huge mugs! Totally worth it just for the drink. Go there for food. Go there for old school diner feel. Go there to feel at home.

    Recently went to get some pizza at Tina’s for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised. Service was amazing, food was delicious, and I would go again! Romy, who took my order, was extremely kind and polite. Would 100% recommend!
