“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“

“Definitely high-quality food. Some of the items on the menu are really pricey but honestly for the quality you're getting it is really worth it. The skirt steak sandwich with kimchi aïoli is 100% fantastic definitely will be returning for lunch and special occasions Our waitress was excellent, constantly checking if we need anything else We got the date pudding was fantastic. Definitely a great way to end the night.“

“I visited Palenque Mexican Restaurant on Father's Day with my tres amigos, and overall, it was a great experience! From the moment we walked in, the host who seated us was warm and welcoming, setting the tone for a good time. The real star of our visit was Sally—the bartender and our server—who was absolutely amazing. Her energy made the evening even more enjoyable, and her watermelon margaritas were next level. We loved them so much we each had about four! As for the food, it was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I ordered the camarones a la diabla, which I've had in the past and really enjoyed. Unfortunately, this time the sauce didn't quite hit the same—it tasted reheated, and the consistency was off. It was still decent, but not what I remembered. On the bright side, my friends made better menu choices. The steak fajitas were flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the carnitas were hands-down the best dish at the table—crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The bathrooms were clean (always a plus), and the atmosphere overall was vibrant and fun. Despite my so-so entree, I'll definitely be back—especially for the drinks and to try more of the menu.“

“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!“

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

“We like to stop by this place after dinner. Just to talk and chill. The later it gets, the busier it gets, at least Friday thru Sunday. Service is good. Very helpful and joyful. I like the whiskey sour, one of my favorite drinks here. Try it out!“

“Wonderful atmosphere wonderful food gotta go there!“

“Me and my girls had a ball last night at Raquel's. We will be back very soon!“

“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!“

“We Bushfires haven't been here before and decided to try this place.

The place itself is very clean. You order your food and drink 1st. Then they will bring you the food. The drinks are self serve. You can try all the drinks before you decide which one you like.

I had the BBQ chicken w/mac n cheese and sweet potatoes fries. You have 2 options for your sides. These are my sides.

My sister had the Chicken w/brown rice and squash. Our cuzin had a chicken burger w/squash.

Everything was good. I would come back and try something else.

I would recommend this place.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“I’ve been eating at Eureka for years! Started at Claremont location, then Ontario opened up, we go there for business lunch and business happy hour at least twice/three times a month. I haven’t had an issue was there last night for business happy hour and will be there tomorrow for business lunch. The servers and bartenders are always on point! Love the “Wild Child” and the cinnamon sweet potato fries and Mac & cheese balls, fried pickles are so yummy! Not one bad dish. Brianne call me/email me, let’s talk business.“

“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!“

“Perfect Date night for me and my girls“

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.

“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...“
