Googled “Best Mexican food in Riverside” and this was top of the list. And it didn’t disappoint. All our meals were huge and first rate and the margaritas were ? Glad we came. Lovely staff too. Stuffed and happy

Excellent chili Verde burrito, salsa was some of the best I’ve had, and the margarita was perfect. From the owner to my server, I received a warm welcoming and excellent service. Plenty of disabled parking available, and the bathrooms were clean, and accommodating.

This is my go to Mexican restaurant! For those who care, the rice is as close to homemade as I've had at any restaurant. The salmon and shrimp combo is delectable. The Mexican street tacos with asada are great! I love that the salsa is a little spicy, unlike most "authentic" Mexican restaurants around. I have not had anything here that I would not order again. Love this place!

1st time coming here. The food was good, we got the enchiladas don louis and the salmon combo with a blended strawberry marg. Everything was really good and the salsa was the perfect amount of heat. The jalapeno butter on the salmon was sooo good and cooked perfectly. The only complaint we had was that my husband's meal came out 5 minutes+ plus before mine, but not that big of a deal. I would come back.

Hands down my favorite spot to eat mexican food beside my Mom's house.... the mole brought back child hood memories from my Grand Ma... this particular spot has me going back for more. Server are polite and helpful they come an check on you switch drinks when needed.All I can say is give this spot a try I guarantee you'll leave satisfied....

Good prices, clean restaurant, good service, Great food.

Food was really good and flavourful. Chips and salsa were great as an appetizer. Michelada was on point. Ordered the chile relent and taco plate and everything was just very appetizing. Will definitely come back again. Power shut off to block due to winds, while I was their and quiet a few people were complaining but the staff handled everything very professionally and as best as possible. Was not their fault. But kudos to the staff for still cooking a d serving and trying to please their customers. Thank you.

The food was pretty good. The employees were nice. The bathrooms didn't have paper towels or toilet paper. The whole restaurant smelled like sewage. ? Which was a shame because it seemed like a cute little family spot.

We had chicken mole enchiladas, chicken taco and churros & ice cream. Everything was so delicious. I’ve had Mexican rice at a dozen different places before and never liked them. I guess it was because I didn’t eat the right thing. Their rice is light, a little chewy and filled with flavor. Love this place!

Incredible chicken flautas & beef enchiladas, one of the best Cadillac margaritas I’ve ever had! top notch food.
