“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!”

“Love me some Thai food, especially the yellow curry. If you enjoy flavor with spice, I'd recommend level 4 (Hot). I've been here a handful of times, always order the same chicken yellow curry and medium isn't as spicy as you'd think. Prices are decent and quality of food matches prices. Items do come with a small pint of rice so if you need more, you do need to pay an additional cost.

I haven't dined in the restaurant but ambiance is casual and a normal restaurant setting, not loud. Service is great, haven't experienced any issues. I'm a reoccurring customer so I'd recommend TK Thai Cuisine.”

The Rustik Fork 1355 E Alessandro Blvd Suite 101, Riverside American • $$

“The Rustic Fork was recommended by a local realtor and being new to the area we were excited to try it out. However we were extremely disappointed with the service and management. We waited at least 45 minutes for a basic hamburger, the waitresses were not attentive and you had to basically waive them down just for them to notice you. Even when I was able to flag a waiter down and asked them could they bring some lemons and hot water, the person said of course and totally forgot to bring the lemons and hot water. When the food finally arrived the fries were cold, however the burger was amazing. I brought off this to the attention of the manager, Kelsey, although she looked like she was lost in space, she apologized and said due to filming that was taking place on the premises they were running behind. I said so the customer has to suffer because your filming? She just looked puzzled gave us a slight minuscule discount which clearly showed a lack of appreciation for our time.”

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!”

In-N-Out Burger 7467 Indiana Ave, Riverside Hamburger • $

“Honestly how could I give this or any other in n out less than five stars. I’ve only heard of one in n out in Utah that didn’t have very good food. Of course the food here is served hot and fresh. The service is fast and the employees are friendly. If there’s a long line here don’t turn away because it will most likely go 2 or 3 times faster than what you think. It’s right across the street from Home Depot, McDonald’s, and a gas station, and right off the 91 freeway on Madison Street. There is a secret menu to know about at this restaurant. You can ask for a Neapolitan shake to get strawberry chocolate and vanilla mixed in. You can ask for animal style fries or a burger to get your onions grilled. You can get a protein style burger to get your hamburger bun replaced by lettuce. Animal style fries comes with cheddar cheese and grilled onions and thousand Island dressing. They are amazing! There’s way more to the list. Maybe look up that secret menu on Google.
Edit and update: 7-31-2025
The drive-thru was packed and it took about 20 to 25 minutes to get my food. I'm surprised mainly because it usually doesn't take that long at In-N-Out. Could have been a difficult order they had to deal with. But I've never had to wait so long. And the french fries had a hollow weird kind of texture. The burger was great though. My son usually likes the french fries and he didn't eat them this time and actually said they were different. I thought he was imagining that. Then I tried the fries myself and noticed the same thing.
I'll come back and try again. Maybe it was just an off night. Thank you In-N-Out for doing your best to stay consistent.”

We ordered a waffle, some type of biscuit, and the avocado toast. All delicious. My husband ordered a latte that was very good and the fresh squeezed orange juice - wow!! For my drink, I ordered off the Naturals, Golden Tumeric latte. This is not a sweet drink, all natural flavors, (so I would recommend more honey if want it sweet) hints of ginger, don't really taste the black pepper but you feel good about your drink for your body! The inside is warm & dark. Since they are pretty popular, they get busy, so noise levels are not somewhere one could relax and read a book. It's more of a, get together with friends and catch up or simply people watch from the seats by the wall. Outside seating is available too.

“Sushi was really good. It was a Friday night and service was fast. The only complaint is their mandatory tip that they charge all their customers. I don't like this practice. Raise your prices and pay your servers more. If it's mandatory, it is not a tip! Even worse, they didn't bring me an itemized receipt showing the tip was already paid. They just have the total price (which already includes 15%) and then leave a line for a tip and total. Horrible business practice! Luckily for me, I look out for things like that. I'm sure they get many suckers who tip more than they wished to on accident.”

California Lounge 3649 Mission Inn Avenue, Riverside Bar • $$$$

“We had the opportunity to visit the mission inn lounge both prior to and after our meal at the mission inn restaurant. Both Therese and Citlallina (unsure on spellings!) were great bar tenders. It was very busy and not only did they take care of us, but we watched as they served every patron with speed whenever they would come up. They were very busy with visitors due to all the traffic from the light festival. I as well as other patrons were checked on frequently. Very impressed and will be back and pass our great experience on to our friends in the area. We made sure to let the Bar Manager know and will be letting some…other people…know too…
Thank you so much!”

“Went here on the recommendation of a coworker and my son and I liked it. Despite what many have said, despite it being busy service was quick and polite. Sushi was very good for the IE, good rice ratio, tons of variety for ayce. Yes, they automatically add a tip depending on group size but it's reasonable. They were so good I added a few bucks more. Will be back.”

“Food was great: fresh guacamole, beef chimichanga, pork tacos and steak tacos. All had great flavor and texture. Beautiful, freshly prepared, service was friendly and fast. Pricey, but worth it overall. We do not order floofy drinks so I cannot speak to that; we ordered draft beer, but food was high quality. Would recommend.”

I have never had a complaint until the last 3 months with my favorite chili cheese fries. Whoever is make the chili now is over doing it with the pepper 🌶️ It’s too hot and no enough chili for the mountain of fries Please go back to the original recipe and portion size. I would rather pay more and be able to enjoy flavor and enough chili to cover my fries. Thank you.”

The service is quick and friendly and the atmosphere is bright and inviting. If there's a lot of people there tends to be an echo that makes it a little noisy but its tolerable.”

My daughter loved the ramen, and my husband, who's picky about refried beans, was impressed. They put so much meat in the tacos that I could have made 2 more tacos. Even the ramen was loaded. Very good! I'll definitely go back”

If you know downtown Riverside, you know early on weekend mornings, the area is very laid back and empty from all the hustle n hustle around the courthouse buildings. I'm sure it's a nice spot to relax during the week, but whenever we get the chance to enjoy a latte and pastry on a weekend, this is the place for us. All the drinks and pastries are bomb.”
