Los Amores de Julia Mexican Restaurant in Pico Rivera, CA

Very nice place with a warm and comfortable atmosphere. I went for a late lunch and really enjoyed the vibe. The staff was excellent, very friendly and attentive. I recommend making a reservation in advance. I used the OpenTable app and it was super easy. The food was delicious, with a good variety of Mexican dishes. I ordered the mole and loved it, perfect for a family meal. I would definitely come back again.

Just got home from one of the best restaurant experience in a very long time. 10 out of 5 stars. I am a huge believer that customer service is determining factor on if i will be a returning customer and this place just gained a very big fan. From the very beginning we were greeted with a very sweet hostess. It was a very busy night, i could see full tables every where and so when we were told it would be 1 hour wait we contemplated on going to a different place to eat, but i am more than happy we waited. I want to shout out Alejandro the best customer service I've experienced in such a long time also want thank our waiter he was a great and welcoming. To top it off the food was very good. We are already planning our next visit. Thank you again Alejandro and everyone there.

The atmosphere is great and the mariachi sounds nice The food and drinks were really good. Our server was polite however our food kinda did take a long time to come out.

This place is super cute! The decor is very reminiscent of other Mexican restaurants that have recently opened up. The food was tasty but it was cold, even though we ate it as soon as it came out. I loved that they bring out fruit as a complimentary appetizer The manager came out and greeted us, which always adds a nice touch of hospitality and he even gave us cafe de olla so delicious! There was a birthday being celebrated while we were there, it was nice that they played the traditional “ mañanitas” We also tried some matchas to go, they were iced but were brought out in hot cups. Minor detail, but the picture on the menu showed the cold drink cups - maybe they were out? I also loved that they had someone making fresh tortillas. Over all the place is definitely worth checking out - it was a bit pricey we paid almost $100 for two of us. We only ordered two entrees 2 aguas frescas and two matcha drinks to go. The parking lot is kind of strange, kinda limited spaces and hard to navigate the lot. I definitely want to try more items from their menus. Customer service was great!

We came to this place to celebrate our Friendmas and we had a wonderful time. The place is beautifully decorated. The hostess was kind and friendly. The manager was so great and accommodating in seating us and checking in on us. The drinks were beautifully made and tasty! The food was wonderful. But the ultimate gem for me was the freshly made pan dulce .... it is to die for woth some cafe de olla

Today we celebrated my brother's birthday and Joaquin, our server made it so special for our family! He truly gave us excellent customer service. He recommended a couple of different dishes and we LOVED each one of them! We will definitely be returning for all our family celebrations. LOS AMORES DE JULIA in Pico Rivera has great service! Now we need one in Dallas, Texas!

I celebrated my 34th birthday here and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was handled with excellence. They created a customized fixed menu for my party and the food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and served on time. My guests are still talking about how good everything was. The live mariachi elevated the entire night. It added such a special, authentic touch and made the celebration feel vibrant and joyful. Customer service was completely on point. The staff was attentive, organized, and accommodating throughout the entire evening. I never felt stressed, they made sure everything flowed smoothly. The vibes were perfect. The ambiance, lighting, and energy of the space created the ideal setting for a birthday celebration. What truly stood out was the owner personally making sure everything was aligned and executed properly. That level of care and involvement speaks volumes. If you’re looking for a place to host a special event, this is it. Highly recommend. This is where you find Mexico mi Amor

A true and delightful surprise — a stunning space infused with the soul, warmth, and beauty of Mexico. From the moment you arrive, the experience feels intentional and authentic. Café de olla brewing right in front of you, handmade tortillas prepared with care and nostalgia (watching a young woman make them fresh for dinner guests was pure magic), and service that goes above and beyond. Our server, Rafael, was exceptional — attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. The manager, Jose, deserves special recognition for his impeccable attention to detail and constant awareness of every guest’s experience. But let me get to the real star of the show: the food. Sometimes places this beautiful rely on ambiance alone — not here. Every bite was unforgettable. I genuinely wanted to lick my plate. The enmoladas were absolutely otherworldly, rich and deeply flavorful. The ceviche Doña Julia with watermelon (yes, watermelon!) was bold, refreshing, and shockingly delicious. We also enjoyed their freshly made tortillas and finished with the Flan de Mazapán — uffffffff, chef’s kiss perfection. This is the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave. 10/10 — highly recommend.
