“Small restaurant with big flavor, and even bigger portions. The portions are insanely generous. Could probably make 3 meals out of the chimichanga. Prices are reasonable, and the food is seasoned really well. Everything has the right amount of flavor. Would go back“

“one of my all-time standbys when I just have to have it.“

“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.“

“Love all their food 💕Great customer service. TVs to watch the games , Go Dodgers 💙💙💙💙“

“Had their “enchiladas divorciadas” and they we’re phenomenal! One was filled with juicy fresh steak and the other with grilled chicken. Chicken was also juicy and tasted exceptional. Came with rice and beans. My husband got their “empanadas de tinga.” Came with side of beans rice and garnishes.

We also had their sopa azteca 12oz and some ingredients were chicken, tortilla chips, avocado, in a rich tomato base soup. Not tangy and bitter. Just right!

This will be my new preferred Mexican restaurant. Price was reasonable for tasty quality Mexican food. Like my husband said “feels like we’re eating at home.” Food was authentic. ?‍↕️?‍↕️?‍↕️“

“Hello, there, fellow eaters.
I would like to personally recommend bahaking fish taco. To anybody who's interested and enjoying great food.
My wife and I enjoyed it for the first time today.
Welcome to the i.e. Baja. Kingfish, taco, thank you for your service. Excellent work.“

“Delicious! Tiny place with great food. Flavorful and exciting to the taste buds. We had the shrimp ceviche, red snapper, and mussels. All delicious! The chef came out and asked us our thoughts on the meals, as staff is friendly and efficient.“

“Excelente ! Muy tradicional Es como estar en Yucatán , súper recomendado ! Love it ! Delicious , very authentic !“

“My husband and I love this place! I've gone with coworkers and friends and everyone I've taken here has loved it too. The couple who runs it are so sweet and provide the best customer service. I've enjoyed every dish I've ever tried, and its one of our absolute favorite spots.“

“The location has moved to the other end of the center. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't let that deter you. 4 person's in our party and everyone had a different excellent meal. The space was nicely decorated, clean, comfortable, and great food/service.“

“The food here is decent but we tried it 2x after our acupuncture appt, my husband and I and it just doesn’t feel / taste super authentic. We took my son some menudo home to be the ultimate judge. He also said the menudo was plain no flavor. I didn’t clock on don’t recommend because it is reasonably priced. Service was rather slow though, my husband can drink a diet soda like I can my wine , and they just didn’t keep up with it for him. So if in a rut and need food and don’t care about flavor Ten this is your spot.“

“best street tacos around i come here at least once a week 🔥🔥“

“The food was delicious. I had the menudo and it was perfect with the homemade corn tortillas. The servings were very generous and the service was great. My husband had the potato tacos and they were perfect. They have a variety of salsas and really good pico de gallo. Very nice atmosphere and very clean. It has an a rating and we can’t wait to come back and bring our friends!“

“The Ensenada shrimp tacos are awsome. I would definitely recommend this family owned restaurant. Lala,was an amazing waitress. Thursday,is thirsty Thursday, happy hour all day. And the music is very good. They have uno,pool table,janga games. Kool little spot.“

“This was my second visit to this food truck. First found it last year on my visit to California and went again this year because it was so good last year. It’s in an area you wouldn’t think to go, just on the side of the road in an industrial looking area, but it’s worth it to go. They are really friendly and the food is a great value and AMAZING! I got their Al Pastor and Carne Asada tacos, bother superb, but the real star is the quesa-burria. It is a must get! So flavourful. And they have a little seating area set up with extra toppings and salsas for everyone’s tastes. Love this place, will definitely go again on my next visit to Riverside. Thank you again!“

“There are not too many spots for good birria around the fontana area. This is certainly one of the best i have tried. The location is small, but the food is great, and it is all about birria plates. Another good thing is that they open late, which is good for a bite after work“

“The food, all of it, is good and consistently tasty. 😋“

“Great food for a great price! The only bad parts is the staff seems like they have attitudes or stressed because its busy at times. Lines get pretty long and it has limited indoor seating. Plenty of outdoor seating. Bathroom is old and could use some updating and seems dirty. But if your looking for a old hole in the wall type place with great food this is your place. We were told this place has been here since the 70's. I am not downing this place at all it just is what it is. My family and I love this place and visit at least once a week and we live 40 minutes away so it's worth the drive. Our favorites are the ground beef tacos.

Parking: Its a small parking lot and can get packed durring busy times but we have always found a spot.“

“Great food . Large menu. Great services authentic Mexican food“

“Great food,fast service, reasonable prices, it's feels like home. Love homemade tortillas.“

“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.“

“best rostisery around. highly recommended for your everyday or large catering occasions.“

“Food quality was fantastic. Food was flavorful, just delicious! They came out to cater my daughters birthday party, they had options for the little ones and they all loved it. They were on time and their set up was impeccable. They matched the theme of the party which I thought was fantastic on their part. Everything was just amazing. Thank you again toscos la piedad for such an amazing experience.“

“Comida muy deliciosa estilo DF y la atención al cliente es excelente“

“Super delicious food! Great price! This plate is highly recommended: “San Felipe Fries” ❤️
Great customer service!
This place is super clean! The bathroom and everything very well maintained and clean 😊☀️
I love it, thank you for your great work!“

“everything 😋👌💯 is delicious“

“This is the place you have to check out. It's kind of a hidden gem in the area it's at. The colton fire burrito and Chile verde burritos are the best! Any time we are in the area we stop by to get a burrito. One of the best mom and pop restaurants we love to support!“

“Absolutely love the whole experience, from my call to place my order to walking in and picking up my order. Everyone is extremely friendly, hospitable and attentive. Not to mention time the food was AMAZING!!!!! They are the BEST experience through and through! Thank you ?“

“Orders from this place initially came from door dash but not once have my coworkers and I had an issue. This is one of those places that can get really busy, so call your order in ahead of times if you are going on a quick break. The item I enjoy the most is their emely burrito but all of their burritos are filled with ingredients and full of flavor. I think I am a big eater but I have not finished the burrito in one sitting ever.

I have also gone in to pick up my order and staff were friendly and professional. Price wise my burrito was less than 12$ but for the portion you're given it is a good deal. Parking in the shopping center can be a little congested depending on time but that's not the restaurants fault. I see happy customers when I go into the facility so I assume they are satisfied. Will update with photos before I bite into it next time :)

Vegetarian options: If you are vegetarian they have a few options and customizing can be done per request. It does not advertise as a vegetarian place, they have limited options and the emely burrito is one such option.“

“I've only had one thing here and I have dreams of going back just for that. Their steak. Good LORD their steak... It's steak where you can taste a past life, you can taste the grind, you can taste the blood sweat and tears to get them to this shop, and I see it. By God do I see it. Maybe my feet are wet when it comes to good food down here, but so far, THIS is the standard. Step it up everyone else. When Im trying you, I'm thinking of them. ??“

“The best carnitas in the IE ! Hands down the best service, and the aguas frescas are amazing and fresh home made tortillas, and they don’t play around with the portions! I will always come back for seconds lol , I totally recommend to family and friends ♥️🥰👍👏🙏👊“

“I was craving Mexican food and I found this place. It's a mom and pop shop. The inside is dated but don't let it fool you. I ordered the machaca breakfast and a coke in a bottle. The food is really good. The service is good too. The food came out hot. I really enjoyed it. I do recommend visiting this if you are in the area.

Parking: There are multiple shops in the area so parking is kinda difficult.“

“Excellent place, the food is delicious, delicious flavor, just keep in mind that the place is small, it has few tables, they will be open on Sundays from 12:30.
Recommendation: try the toasts, they are delicious, the best in Moreno Valley by far!“

“Quesabirria tacos are amazing, they give you everything you’ll need on the side to add more flavor as well!Aqua Frescas are made in house so they’re fresh and flavorful.Tortas, Birria Nachos & Big Birria Quesadilla are big in size and flavor to be able to fill you up! Best Birria spot in MoVal!“

“Cenaduría Oaxaqueña Donaji truly exceeded my expectations. The restaurant is set in a house with limited parking, but plenty of street parking nearby. Luckily, we found a spot inside. As we stepped under the large white tarp, we were welcomed like guests at a family gathering, I immediately felt at home. While waiting for our table, they kindly seated us next to a heater, making the experience even more comfortable. From there, we could watch the food being prepared, and it was nothing short of an art form. After a brief 15-minute wait, we were seated and ready to enjoy our meal. I tried a tlayuda for the first time, and it was absolutely delicious, loaded with quesillo, beans, and three types of meat: cecina, chorizo, and what appeared to be chuleta. The portions were incredibly generous. We also shared a quesadilla with epazote, which was just as flavorful. With those two dishes, my wife and I had more than enough to eat. To top it off, the café de olla was incredible, and the hot chocolate was simply exquisite. I highly recommend visiting this hidden Oaxacan gem in Riverside!“

“Every time my family has come to this place they always go above and beyond. They are very great with customer service nice in the food is amazing.. today my mother and I visited had a great time and great service by Alex our waiter thank you!!!

It’s also really beautiful in here the ambience, the music, the lights !“

“The best gorditas ever!! I highly recommend this place 🫶🏻“

“the taquitos were great, too bad there wasn't any guacamole served with them, like I was told there would be. 🤔“

“The food is good to eating here“

“Tejuino is a refreshing cold drink made with fermented corn masa, lime ?‍ and raw sugar. The origin of the drink dates back to the Nahua people of central Mexico ??. The famous Rarámuri people also have a variation of the drink and they called tesguino. It’s also one of my favorite drinks to tame the summer heat. El Primos tejuino did not disappoint, it was on point and very delicious. It’s actually one of the best around and they have different variations that the owner of the place has created and they are equally delicious. I was served by the owner of the place and he was very friendly, professional, and funny. GMP’s performed here as well.“

“Wonderful food and great service!“

“muy buen servicio 100% recomendado la torta cubana muy buena el pulque y el agua ni se diga todo muy rico espero que vuelva a ir antes que regrese a Chicago 😉“
