We came on a Friday early afternoon with our two daughters. Our almost 2 year old loved the soft tacos! Agua Fresca is refreshing. The restrooms are clean. Can’t wait to come back. The food was perfect.

$15 for 3 tacos that were roughly two bites seemed kind of excessive. Tasty but definitely overpriced. Service was awesome and comforting.

The strip anchored by the Stater Bros in Mira Loma is home to a space that has been a Mexican restaurant for decades, though not always the same Mexican restaurant. In the remote past, the Green Burrito chain occupied it - slinging staples from the Cal-Mex repertoire. A place where each of my elementary school teachers seemed to return from their lunch breaks at a minimum of twice a week. It was there where I had my first ever Baja style fish taco. In the more recent past it was called Casa Diaz, serving a bill-of-fare that was less "Cal" and more "Mex." I liked their chicken mole burrito, wet with extra mole. (Come to think of it, what could be more Cal-Mex than a wet Mission style burrito?) The current iteration is called El Chivito; and is arguably the boldest restaurant in the history of Riverside County. El Chivito is a specialist. It is a Jalisciense birria spot. You get birria de chivo, heaps of it in a bowl, a mound of it on a taco, and/or a portion of it within a mulita. Entering El Chivito, you find yourself face-to-face with a woman masterfully stamping out fresh tortillas. Another woman instructs you to seat yourself where you wish. Go find a comfortable spot on one of the unlacquered pine benches. Order some goat. The tortillas are rich with earthy corn flavor. The birria itself is a full court press of goat funkiness. The consome is particularly special due to its wholesomeness. Eschewing the traffic light red variety of consome, imbued with a slick of fat, that took over all the socials in recent years, the broth here is clean, allowing more of the goat to shine. It is a palliative for all your ailments. The usual suspects can all be found in the condiment caddy. The cebolla and cilantro. The limes. And of course, the scorching hot salsa of chiles de arbol.

The food never fails, the birria is good, the only drawback was a bottle of sauce that I bought, in 4 days it was no longer useful, and it was refrigerated, it made
