“Went for mother's Day and while it was pricey it was absolutely worth it. The mariachi were amazing and for mother's Day they had a buffet. It was very busy and while we did have a reservation we did have to remind them when others were getting called to be seated but everything else perfect. Service was very good and the atmosphere was great as well. The food was delicious“

“Great food !! Happy Friendly people family environment restaurant“

“I was jonesing for a burger and wanted to try something different. I stumbled across THE CUT in Rancho accidentally and like the look of the menu. Thank God I did... Fabulous burger and as an added bonus they have a Poutine on the apps menu. As an Expat Canadian anytime I can find Poutine I consider that win. We'll definitely be back.“

“We had a great experience at Palenque thanks to our server Eddie. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. Eddie checked up on us multiple times to ensure everything was perfect, and his professionalism really stood out. It’s clear he takes pride in providing excellent service. We’ll definitely be back, and we hope to have Eddie as our server again!“

“The BEST food ever! The craft cocktails were on point! Definitely one of my new favorite places to go!“

“Very good drinks, great atmosphere!“

“Ostrea is an absolute gem for seafood lovers!

The white shrimp ceviche was incredibly fresh and flavorful, a true delight for the taste buds. Our daughter couldn't get enough of their chowder, which was rich and comforting. The seared ahi was perfectly cooked and simply delicious. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the oysters, which were fresh and accompanied by a fantastic sauce on the side. The laid-back vibe and friendly service made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

Highly recommend Ostrea for outstanding seafood cuisine!“

“Cocktails are ambitious but ultimately fall short. Service, music , and seating is all wonderful and comfortable. Good quality music. And good prices.Most people will enjoy this place overall.La llorona: Guajillo,tamarind and apricot are all overpowered by allspice/cloveSerial killer: Would taste really good if they weren't using old lime juice the time I got it.After hours: Bit too sweet and the pecan is lost but my fav of the nightDoc holiday: Not as complex as the description would lead you to believe. Chocolate bitters is lost, and the cognac and bourbon didn't feel balanced right.Tamarind wings: feel like they are missing a bit of sweetness needed to balance out the tamarind tartness“

“Wonderful atmosphere wonderful food gotta go there!“

“My husband and I stopped by for drinks after having dinner at home. Located inside the Punch Bowl at Victoria Gardens, this spot is beautifully decorated with dim lighting, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Our drinks were excellent, and our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. We had a great experience overall and look forward to returning to try some of their food options!“

“ONE OF THE BEST ENTERTAINMENT VENUES IN THE INLAND EMPIRE!!! GREAT ATMOSPHERE!!! GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!!! GREAT STAFF!!! GREAT DRINKS!!! WEEKLY!!!“

“Love you Irma!!! You pour a mean drink..“

“First time here. The place is small but has a lot of space (if that makes sense). Smells great when you walk in, and the head chef greets you immediately. I ordered online, I got beef empanadas with chimichurri sauce. I swear they were some of the best empanadas I've had in a while! Definitely going back to sample the menu.“

“Majestic vibes. Lots of comfort seating and large area to dance. Amazing drinks.“

“Excelente food and service“

“Amazing authentic mexican food! The portions are huge, the food is super delicious and the staff is very nice. I went a few times and I keep coming back. It is simply the best Mexican restaurant in Riverside (and there are many), highly recommended.

Vegetarian options: Not bad vegetarian options for a Mexican restaurant.“

“Perfect Date night for me and my girls“

“This is our go-to spot for AYCE !
I wish I had gotten our waitress name, but she was so incredibly sweet & had a wonderful personality. We came to get sushi after my dad's chemotherapy appointment & she was accommodating for him. The little things mattered so much.
Sushi was bomb as always, and whoever the young waitress was with medium length curly hair, skinny, & light complected, you are amazing ❤️“

“Was ‘ Looking for fish & chips! But the seafood mix was 💣“

“Okay, the tacos didn't travel well, primarily due to the shells getting too wet from each others' ingredients, but the fillings were just fine. Would happily eat them on-site, next time. Where this place gets its massive props from me? The ceviche (I had the spicy version), and the amazingly great clam chowder. I mean, I know that chowder is a popular item in Baja, but now I have no reason to travel and find out why. For all I know they opened a can of clam chowder and enhanced it with their own secret blend of herbs and spices, but who cares? It was fantastic.“

“Brought my grandkids here and they loved it.. friendly employees and very courteous.. Awesome food!!!🍤 🍚🍗“

“came here for the first time last night because I just opened a tow yard close by and the place seemed to be poppin. was a awesome choice. pulled in and the lot had classic cars and low lows parked outside. that was the first sign that it was meant to be. ordered fish tacos and they were bomb! wife ordered flautas for the babies and they had cheese inside. apparently they were amazing also. the salsa bar.... every salsa was very good I had to have all of them. good vibes! was leaving and a guy was walking to patio with a burrito the size of a football no lie! will be a new spot for the family for sure!“

“Great service. Cool place to grab lunch and a beer.“

“From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the exceptional service we received. The staff was not only friendly but also very attentive, making us feel truly welcomed. The food was absolutely delicious, and we couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. The atmosphere was just perfect for the occasion, adding to the overall enjoyment of our visit.

Needless to say, we will definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you for providing such a fantastic dining experience for my family and me. We look forward to our next visit!“

“That's a great place if you wanna hang out and watch the games. was packed by 10:30am on a Sunday morning. My kids enjoyed all the sandwiches drinks whatever came through our table of 20. they're not a breakfast place thats for sure, not many choices. we had a pretty large group and most of our breakfast was cold. the waitress kicked butt, she was really good and very sweet. the guys helping deliver the food not happy looked overwhelmed.. Refills well we had to keep on asking...“

“Live music, the band's performance was great, @Rattlers love the music. Great service.“

“This restaurant is connected to the Element Hotel which I am staying in. I have eaten here before my stay and did not rate it then but I did grab a smashed burger which was pretty good. This time I had the Blackened Salmon and the Poke Ahi over black rice. The salmon was cooked excellent and had a great taste and the sauce was beurre blanc and it was so dang good that I asked for more. The grilled broccolini with pesto cashew was so good. The Poke stack was good and I would recommend it to be tried atleast once. I will be returning to eat the salmon more often since I am staying here now. The one draw back is the place is loud and the people do not seem to be respectful to others when they are yelling across their table but it was not reflective of the service and food ratings.“

“if you are in the riverside area near the magnolia center and in the mood for sushi 🍣, you got to give this place a try. the food is fantastic and the drinks, wow! prices are fair, beer is cold, service is very good and lots of choices on menu. they got karaoke on Fridays atv6 and it's just a cool hole in the wall.“

“Heather the bartender is outstanding“

“First visit today, going back for next month's lunch with a friend. Wish we'd discovered El Patron sooner.“

“Just a great place. The Mission Inn is a treasure“

“Nothing compares to the food and service at Brio! My Son and I always leave with full tummies, leftovers and a big smile!“
