“Juan D was my waitress ........ I really appreciate his great customer service. He was really nice and respectful........always making sure we had what we needed and always checking up on us to see if we were OK. I also appreciate him getting his crew together to sing happy birthday to my father n law who was turning 70.”
“Yummmmm! I finally got my hands on "ALIEN CAKE" and Omgeeeee! I got a cheeseburger for dinner last night and now I can't stop thinking about it lol. I WANT MORE! Food 5 stars Service 5 stars Ambiance 5 stars Presentation 5 stars”
“Food is great! (We had: Capellina, Rustica, & Salmon) (Fresh, Quality and Organic) Dessert is great! (We had: pistachio cake & spumoni ice cream with fresh berries.) Customer Service is great! (Alex / Michael) Atmosphere is great! (Be prepared to sing Happy Birthday!)”
“Had my car doing oil change nearby. Found this place to kill the time of waiting. The staff are super nice and sweet. I wasn’t in a mood for crepe, so they offered me a plate of fruits plus granola. I had my wonderful time!”
“We came in around 9am. The service is super nice and quick! The server was very attentive and made sure we got what we needed. We got two orders of the Orden de Birria and the portion was huge. We asked for the tortilla to be crispy and they said no problem. The price is great also. The soup was well seasoned, and there was a lot of meat. The salsa is also spicy, but just the right amount (I would consider it to be more than medium spice). Would come back again.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“This is the best pizza spot I've found in riverside , and I've been here for a decade now . We usually get the pizza pepperoni which is delicious. Very hot because comes out fresh . I recommend letting it cool off a couple minutes or the cheese and topping will slide right off , and you don't wanna burn your tongue / taste buds cause then you can't enjoy it :) . Recently took my younger son , he got the personal size and I got a meatball sub which the bread was perfectly toasted and it was very good .”
“I was very pleased with the TBA (turkey, bacon and avocado) sandwich. It was a good portion, sliced in half. For the meal, my total was $17.49 which is kind of pricey, but the sandwich didn't disappoint so I'm happy about that.”
“The food was fantastic, it was some of the best vegan food we have had eating out in a long time both in the US and Europe. The food hit all the different taste sensations. Next time we are back in Riverside we will definitely be back.”

“first I love the vibe the place is buzzing with happy eaters. second is the food, everything is perfect all sides are amazing but the meat is the best bbq I have ever had. if I am within 40 miles I will take a detour to Spirit of Texas BBQ. easy on and off the 210 freeway and I am happy it is 1 hour away or I would be there every day. I would work there for free if they fed me everyday.”
“Yum! Had the veggie sandwich (with bacon haha) on squaw and it was delicious! Retha the owner was so sweet and even threw in a homemade cookie! Plus, I sat and enjoyed the food on the sunny patio with a view of the Main Street mall. Why go to a chain when you can come to a local shop like this?”
“The employee suggested the perfect coffee because I work night shift and I need a strong one. So strong that it will show on the drug screen. It was bomb and not bitter at all. The place was super clean and has a very good vibe.”
“We ordered Halal Chicken Achari Chicken Pizza and as well 3 idiots Pizza both were very delicious. Unfortunately it is far from OC but worth the drive if you try Pizza you will be back again for second. Great Job Pizza Twist!!!”

“Can’t wait to go back! The food was absolutely delicious and the wine list was huge. We had appetizers, entrées, desserts, and wine, and everything was really excellent.

“Delicious ice cream, great service. My wife and I were helped by Zora who was very kind and allowed us to try several different flavors. She made our experience very nice. Thank you Zora and thank you Frostbites”
“Tried this place out because it’s a lot closer than Somi Somi in Ontario Mills. Their taiyaki menu is nice however the actual taiyaki is smaller than Somi Somi. Also, there isn’t as much filling per batter ratio as Somi Somi, but tastes good. Somi Somi is 5 larger taiyaki for $8.95 while this place is 5 smaller ones for $10.95.The cookies and cream soft serve is good. Costs $4.99 for a cup. The girl helping us was amazing and gave us a good serving. She was kind and made small talk while preparing our order.All in all, I would return here if in the area. But if I had to choose between these smaller ones for a higher price vs. Somi Somi, I would opt for Somi Somi.Kid-friendliness: Lots of options and toppings”

“DIVINE FOOD! Incredibly fresh and fullof flavor ! The falafel was the best I’ve ever had! The Shawarma Fries we’re sooo good too. Best Foūl of my life.

“Great Pizza, great service, always friendly! Been coming to this store for more than 20 years. Fiesta is my favorite pizza, but their sausage is off the chart.”

“BUMBED INTO MIKE AT HEROES. I WILL DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK TO THIS LOCATION BASE OFF OF THAT. I LIVE NEAR THE EASTVALE LOCATION.ASK FOR MIKE, GREAT SERVICE ANYWHERE HE GOES.”
“The Salted Pig in Riverside is a must-visit for food enthusiasts. Their pork belly taco bursts with flavor, the pork belly burger is a juicy delight, the duck is cooked to perfection, and the dirty fries are irresistibly indulgent. It's a dining experience that's both memorable and deliciously satisfying.”
“My absolute favorite is their honey walnut shrimp. Love that everything is made to order and not under heating lamps. Their prices are not cheap but not expensive either very worth a try. I have yet to have a bad experience and the reason why I keep coming back.”
“I haven't been here for years because I moved but not that I'm back in the same area I'm so glad I went here again. The food is always so flavorful and the costumer service is always so very nice. I ordered six different items and none of them disappointed me.”
“The place is nice, the waitress was very friendly and attentive, the sushi was delicious, but I think it lacked more presentation... The only bad thing was that the place was empty when we arrived and it took them a long time to serve us almost 40 minutes... It's the only drawback!”
“Traveling with Friends, decided to stop in for a drink and some appetizers before calling it a night at the Baby Quail Inn. what a wonderful place, food and drinks were AWESOME!!! Our server Justin was spot on with his service and friendliness!! second time in Sedona..will definitely stop here again!! Thanks for a nice evening Stagecoach and Justin!”
“The ramen was good, and I do like the fact that they give you a protein choice. So if you want chicken with tonkotsu broth, you can have it. The Thai tea was super creamy, too. It was just such a tiny place. Looks bigger on the pictures.”
“OK here’s the thing, I wasn’t sure what to expect when we came here I was a little concerned about their $.99 taco Tuesday we went there today and there is no none zero concerns because the tacos are delicious plenty of meat and you can choose your own toppings from the toppings station,, The drinks are delicious and the servers were outstanding everything was fantastic. Eat local, shop local, Spend local.”
“I just past by 91 Highway search on google maps eat Chinese food I found Meat Lover they have spacial cook fish and bendou box. I was here two orders. It’s testing good smell so yummy. I want go try it again.”
“Ditch the Domino's and Pizza Hut right now lol. This place is SO. GOOD. Every ingredient they use is so flavorful, all the way down to the sauce AND the cheese. It tastes just like it smells, which is a big thing bc food can smell bomb and taste mid but that isn't the case here. The cashier is so friendly and kind, and I feel very comfortable with her despite not knowing her. Make sure you get the garlic crust and a side of ranch!! If you're a Coca-Cola fanatic, they have glass cokes here so treat yourself! So yummy every time. The pizza I got was ham & bacon ?”
“Soooo good. I got the chickpea meal with rice and garlic naan. Literally could not get enough. The service was so nice and he let us sample pretty much everything! Genuine Indian food”
“One of the most delicious and authentic places for great food. Never a wait to be seated, because the restaurant is huge. We’ve been coming for a few years now and I always try something different and it’s always great!”
“The food is always good. Every time we come to the spaghetti factory. The ambience is exceptional with mismatched, oversized, armchairs in crushed velvet, a variety of different size and styles of chandeliers. There is a gluten-free selection. Please keep in mind. They are not a gluten-free restaurant, but they’re gluten-free noodles are cooked in their own water. The servers all tagteam to give you the best possible service without overwhelming you. I highly recommend considering the spaghetti factory for a date night or for a family outing.Kid-friendliness: They have a good friendly kids menu, and the servers are wonderful with the childrenWheelchair accessibility: A member of my party is in a wheelchair and the accessibility both into the restaurant and throughout the restaurant is very user-friendly”
“Fantastic! Every bite of fish was cold and fresh. I loved it all. It is evident that each piece of sushi and sashimi is created with creativity, care, and love.Thank you for having us.”
“Can’t wait to go back! The food was absolutely delicious and the wine list was huge. We had appetizers, entrées, desserts, and wine, and everything was really excellent. Portions were larger than expected, too. Johannes took great care of us! He and the kitchen were also attentive to my dietary restrictions (gluten allergy). Highly recommend!!”
“5 star for the food. It does take an average about 45 min for food to come out but worth it because it’s freshly made. Best briyani, tiki masala, and tandoori plates.”

“If you want a quick breakfast this is a nice coffee spot. I had a chicken sandwich which as tasty, but a little too spicy for my. The gentlemen who were taking the orders were very helpful in helping you make the right choice. Cute little spot and has a real cozy feel to it.”
“My Family And I Have Always Eaten At This Dennys Because Of The Great Food, Quiet Atmosphere And The High Quality Of Customer Service We Receive. Our Waiter Tonight Gerardo Ramirez Has Serviced Us Before And Let Me Just Say That Every Time He Has Always Been Completely Attentive To Our Needs. He Brought Our Food Super Fast And Constantly Kept Checking Up On Us To See If Everything Was Okay. I Truly Felt Valued As A Customer Because Of His Service. Thank You So Much!”
“Miss Vanessa is in here HOLDING IT DOWN! She's the ONLY employee working both the drive thru AND walkin orders ALL BY HERSELF and has OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE while doing so! You go Vanessa coco! Keep shining you little star! ✨️”
“I go to this place a lot because this place is way better than Taco Bell first of all their food taste better they have better deals and they don't have a little dog that's their mascot and sometimes they have carnitas but I love the pastor it's the sinful meat, well I'm sorry we're all sinful haha but not only the Mexican food there they have a hell of a double del Burger add a little sour cream and it's perfect I would live there if I could... But I'm no longer homeless amen.”
“I have started to come to this Del Taco in Mission Grove because there is always one Asian server who provides a great customer service. A couple times I saw the customer was giving her such a hard time over the orders but it was obviously customer's mistakes. I've never seen the server with such a young age who is patient and deliegent with dealing with difficult and angry customers. I see one post who mentioned about Asian server. Not sure if that is the server that I am posting about. Anyways, she always provides a great customer service!”
“A fav place for quality cafe food. It's so savory. The service was very welcoming and sociable. The bill was reasonable I would say. Feeling here is similar to a place in Columbus I liked.”
“Food was pretty good, the service was great everyone was happy and friendly in here.I got a been and cheese burrito and a coke for $10 bucks so a pretty good deal”
“I'm going to be honest I'm not the biggest fan of Jack's. In other stores I've had to wait up to 20 mins on a 30 min lunch. But this is the best Jack's I've been to. The staff is friendly, inside of the store is clean and best of all they'll have your meal ready in less than 5 minutes. The food actually looks presentable and is fresh at this location. Please don't go under new management.”

“Such great ramen here and they are 24 hrs for those late night craving. This place is so great. They are not a fancy type dining like most places around the Mission Inn but more of a hip fun casual dinning. I've already come a few times and will definitely keep coming back since the ramen is delicious and it's such a cute and fun dining experience. Definitely try the Tori.”
“I was just walking killing time so it doesn't kill me. I'm big jack in the box fan I'd never been to this particular one. I got a hamburger and fries. Basic and good. Classic.”

“I needed a photo cake for my father's celebration of life reception in Riverside. Unfortunately I live quite far away from the area so I tried to research a few places online. I almost opted to purchase from a grocery store but most did not accept photos online or via email and again, I don't live in the area to drop off a photo. I found Lindmair Bakery on Yelp and decided to take a chance. I emailed them about my request and Dennis was very responsive. I called him to follow up on my cake requests and he immediately knew which order I was. I was surprised that I didn't need to send over a deposit. I let him know a friend was going to pick up the cake that day and it wasn't a problem. The cake was beautiful and tasted delicious. I'm almost sad that this bakery isn't near me because I would have used them for future events, e.g. birthdays, retirements, going aways. If you ever need a cake in the Riverside area, this is the one!”
“Went there for the 1st time and it was amazing! Fantastic food and great serviceMy kids had so much fun in the arcade. Great place to bring the family! Pizza amd wings were delicious. We will be back for sure !”

“My wife and I visited Vicky's after church today. This was one of her parent's favorite places. She wanted Mexican food and decided on the carne asada plate. I chose the pork chops, but got the breakfast as it was a lot cheaper. We were both very pleased with our orders. She was able to make herself four tacos and loved her rice and beans. My pork chops had great flavor. I loved my hash browns as well. My two eggs and biscuits and gravy were also very good. An added bonus was at the drinks fountain. They had grape soda. When do you ever see grape soda? I enjoyed the change...mmmm! The service was outstanding and everyone in the place was cheery. Great atmosphere.”
“I never had a problem with this place. The food was fast and quick, friendly, and nice staff. The only thing I don't like is the parking lot. It can be a pain at times when busy. That's only a negative part, but it's not their fault for it”
“Been a local staple for years. Love this place and we still continue to go hear for breakfast, lunch and dinner.Parking: They have plenty of parking both on and next to the business.Kid-friendliness: There is a kids menuWheelchair accessibility: No huge lips on curbs or any door ways”
“Not sure if I remember his name right but Carlos Lopez was super professional! Really nice and worked with urgency! I’ve managed in fast food before and was surprised! He is what we’d call “a great example of us managers”. 10/10 destination point.”
“Had a lot of ice cream cakes available was easy to choose Oreo Cookie Cake for my daughter's birthday. We also got a hot fudge Sunday & a banana shake. ?”
“So thought I would take the k9 here for a new York cheesecake strawberry blizzard. Because she only eats Ben n Jerry’s strawberry cheesecake ice cream she wasn’t having it. Don’t. Worry DQ I enjoyed my mini.”
“Good value for the family meal. Lots of BBQ chicken and Veggies. Rice and macaroni salad, crispy strips of katsu chicken. Fried shrimp for an appetizer. Order extra of their hot sauce. The BBQ sauce is also good. Just two of us at home and we work weekends -- so this is all we need until Monday. Leftovers make a great soup. Add chicken broth to the sliced chicken, rice and veggies. Yum. Add a little chopped ginger, a few drops of sesame oil and chopped green onions.”
“It's in-n-out, always good. The service was great. The line moved very quickly.Parking: It's not a lot of parking at the restaurant, but there's places you can park that's around. The gas station and hotel parking.”
“I love this little place. Sadly, I haven't been in quite some time. But today was outstanding. Great omelette. I love the ambiance there and always have a great breakfast/lunch.”
“The only thing I really like here is the taquitos they remind me of fosterfrez. Other than that the food is alot of frozen meals but they are affordable cheaper than most places the burgers are okay of you need to buy many for large groups of people probably the cheapest place you'll find. Employees not so friendly but it's whatever.”
“The food was delicious, the prices weren't too bad, and there were lots of beverage choices. We will definitely be eating there a lot more often. Customer Service was also great, My family and I say 5 stars across the board. Don't judge a book by its cover, or you will miss out⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Parking: Parking was easy and convenientKid-friendliness: The order taker was sufficientWheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“This place is a decent place to get a burger. Just as good as your usual burger spot. The chili cheese fries on the other hand were just ok, the meat they use for the chili just doesn't do it! It is good though but nothing special, I would eat here again if I had to.”
“We love this Farmer Boys! We always get good service and the food tastes fresh.Dietary restrictions: You can tell them to exclude certain foods you can't eat.”

“We placed an order for a large group. Staff guided us through our selections and recommended family dinners over catering items, which was a great cost-savings! Our order was ready on time, and staff helped put it in our car for transport to the party. Food was prepped to order, salad was fresh, rice and kebabs were perfect, bread was fresh and cut into manageable pieces, and dressings were amazing. They truly exceeded our expectations, and we'll definitely return in the future!”

“Love this cute little ice cream shop!! It was previously owned by another management but im glad its being run and operated by someone else because they really made this shop pop! Its super aesthetically pleasing and they got some great quality stuff on their menu. I decided to come get some palletas for my co workers and Abraham was the one to help me today. He was very professional, kind and had a lot of tips to offer regarding which flavor to get. Everyone else were very kind and friendly!!”
“Seriously something for everyone at this cookie shoppe. They seem to have something for most dietary lifestyles like vegan and gluten free. Great customer service! We were greeted and given some suggestions as well. We ended up picking up quite a few cookies and they were all good! No complaints. Everything baked in-house and always fresh. I'm a sucker for a good oatmeal cookie and was not disappointed. Excited to try the rest of their seasonal offerings.”

“This place is so incredibly good! The food tastes fresh and comes in large portions. I also got a side of egg rolls, which were great. The lady working there was proud to note that it's healthier than what you might get other places because they don't use MSG and only use some oil. She was super friendly and attentive. Come give this place a try! :)”

“Very Vegan/Vegetarian friendly place!!! ??✨ There's lots of rich and flavorful tofu options, not just Miso soup and Spicy Tofu soup (which are loaded with tofu!!) But also marinated tofu triangles, rice, rice noodles with veggies, kimchi, fruits, and other dishes as well ? lots of sauces and condiments offered to make it just the way you like!! ?? initially I thought I was just going to enjoy a simple miso soup or rice noodles, which as a Vegan not having a lot of options is something you're used to at most restaurants especially ones that specialize in serving meat but I was pleasantly surprised to find enough plant based goodness to have my fill!! ????✨ Service is nice and solid, you are attended to regularly but it's not overbearing in anyway my party of 3 and myself had a great time!! ✨✨✨ I live like 38 mins away but this is my new spot for Korean BBQ, thank you for catering to plant based people!! ???✨ Awesome place!! ???✨Vegetarian options: Lots of tofu, veggies, fruit, rice noodles, sauces, salad. You can get a complete plant based meal without any issues ???✨”

“Had a great time, Friday night listening to great fun music with a live band, The Jazz Junkies, and really good food and drinks going around with lots of people, laughter & chatter. Andrea the owner is a great guy, very warm & inviting. Glad to see the former owner of Mario's Place has opened a new spot and is doing things in a hipper, looser, more friendly way. Arts Bar has a more "Cheers" kind of vibe, rather than them...well... darker, ahem...umm...dare i say...colder? vibe at Mario's. I'm just saying...”
“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”
“Too many great things about this place. The food was phenomenal, down to the T. The sauces were even amazing and made from scratch. We tried the smash burgers, steak and a few appetizers. Pork belly tacos, Brussels and poki nachos were beyond amazing. The drinks were strong and tasty, we very much enjoyed them. Last but not least, the atmosphere was very comfortable and friendly. The staff was very welcoming and the owner is a top notch guy! We highly recommend this place!”
“Great food!! The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is because they close waaay too early. They say they close at 3, but there are times they close 30-45 mins before that. Besides that the place is great for sandwiches.Parking: It's a small business in a busy parking lot so it can be hard to find parking.”
“Food was great always is but the service sucks those girls need to work on serving the customer instead of talking and flirting. A couple of times I had to get their attention and only once the server came to ask how was everything. I had asked her for containers for my food she took a while. The girl in the bar also was busy talking I couldn’t get her attention I tried paying up in the front but of course you got a guy flirting and talking to her. I finally got the other servers attention. But other than that food is always amazing.”
“Delish breakfast burritos. First time there, because I was looking for a good breakfast burritos to take to a football game and these were on point deafly will be back”

“The Salted Pig in Riverside is a must-visit for food enthusiasts. Their pork belly taco bursts with flavor, the pork belly burger is a juicy delight, the duck is cooked to perfection, and the dirty fries are irresistibly indulgent. It's a dining experience that's both memorable and deliciously satisfying.”
“Great spot for a brew. You'll enjoy The music is classic rock/ 80s!! The selection is vast and the customer service from Andrew was welcoming. Will definitely be returning.”
“Found this place on yelp and decided to stop for some to go munchies as we were heading back to Arizona. Ordered some chili cheese fries, fried zucchini's, and regular fries. Yum!!!! It was delicious and good portions. Next time we'll stop by when we come into town rather than on the way out to try more of their food. Can't wait!”
“I have been craving Egg drop soup and they do not disappoint! It was super delicious with water chestnuts, tofu, carrots and peas. Service is always great and quick, I order ahead with their text number and it's awesome. My mom enjoyed her wonton soup tremendously! Huge servings. And still pretty inexpensive.”
“I can barely find the words to describe how amazing our total experience was at Cheba Hut. The service was fantastic. The cashier and waitress were so helpful with the menu items and very nice and friendly. The subs we had were the best I have ever had. Fresh ingredients and toasted. Lots of meats and lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and olives, also cheese. So so good. Made my day. Not noisy, nice music, just a wonderful experience. Thank you Cheba Hut. We will see you soon.”
“This place has so much good food to choose from! Came here with a big group of friends and our kids. Our food came out hot and quick! They were polite and the restaurant was clean, even the bathroom! My burrito was so good I forgot to take a pic at the restaurant. So good I'm eating seconds! Just as good! I got the chile verde burrito, the meat was perfectly seasoned and it just melts in your mouth! Recommend!”

“A tasty and diverse selection of Korean boonsik (street food) and dosirak (lunch) dishes.What we got –Pork katsu: ordered a large, and we were still surprised by the sizeable portion (especially considering the price)! Crispy and a really nice balance between the meat + bread crumb portion.Manna tteokbokki: again, a nice balance between spicy and sweet, with plenty of sauce to dip the katsu and kimbap in!Bulgogi kimbap: a variety of vegetables and bulgogi beef rolled into a rice/seaweed roll.In sum, would highly recommend!”
“Just downloaded Yelp to leave this place a review! My family and I have been customers for years. The service is amazing and we feel welcome every time we stop by. The food is incredible! (Recommend the pho and chicken fried rice). Definitely should stop by for the best Pho in Riverside.”
“i’ve been coming to this location for over a year now and deepi is the sweetest lady and always has been, she also makes the best smoothies! i even dropped my drink today by accident and she left no hesitation and made me a new one right away. it’s always so clean in there and it’s comfy too especially after the remodel !”
“Great African food. The server with the piercings in his nose was very nice and helpful to recommend things for my first time here. Everything on the menu looked good. The cuisines were about $18-$20+. The wings were about $15 with fries. Solid crisp to the wings. I thought it was a new type of cultural cuisine. Try this place out”
“This place has such delicious and fresh halal food. Everything you get here will be so good so I can't say that anything in particular is my favorite. My family usually orders the family meal that comes with basically everything that you need for an Arab Mediterranean meal. The people are lovely as well. Thank you guys!”
“Hidden gem, this place always serves great quality food and the fish they use for sushi is always fresh. Try a rainbow roll to see what I mean. The staff are always cool people and are very kind.”
“I ordered the Asada Nachos ($12.99). For reference, i have a large appetite, so when I say that the nachos were so loaded, and good that I couldn’t even finish it, it’s true.For how much it is, these nachos were worth it. And it even made a good meal for leftovers. I definitely recommend this for someone who has a big appetite.Best Asada Nachos for a cheap price, 10/10 service.”
“I bought several dishes from Saaraloge's kitchen and I was impressed. The food was so delicious and it took me back memory lane to Nigeria. I will definitely return and purchase more Nigerian food.”
“This place is FIRE!!! they make bomb queso birria tacos and large Baja style shrimp tacos. I came here several times with a friend's from work and each time the food was delicious. Service is pretty fast. It's a small local place and gets pretty crowded for lunch. It's well worth it so stop in for those birria tacos.”
“Excuse the half eaten bowl, I just couldn’t wait to dig in! This place always serves amazingly portioned, perfectly seasoned poke! The fish is fresh, the toppings/ sauces are delicious, and it’s definitely a spot worth checking out! The restaurant is clean and staff is very friendly :) 11/10 food and service. This is my new fav poke spoke”

“My absolute favorite is their honey walnut shrimp. Love that everything is made to order and not under heating lamps. Their prices are not cheap but not expensive either very worth a try. I have yet to have a bad experience and the reason why I keep coming back.”
“I wanted something different for lunch, and stopped in there today at about 11:30. I had the chicken Shawarma, grape leaves, spicy hummus and added a pistachio baklava for dessert. So good! It was large enough to save half for dinner, but I couldn’t stop eating it.”
“I literally live about a mile from this place and barely went for the 1st time. I've lived here for 7 years. Why didn't anybody tell me about this place!! Really good food. Excellent asada. Actual ranchera. It's pricey, but what isn't. I'd rather spend my money on good food than those nasty a$$ taco trucks. Parking sucks because there are so many things in this same small area, but again... food was good, so I'll deal with it.Parking: Crowded parking.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome”
“I'm not a big fan of seafood, but my wife is. She got the black sauce aquachili, and loved it. I really liked the veggies. She didn't mind that I left all the shrimp behind. She went back and got a Fredilla taco. Then another one, to take home for the kids.The homemade tortillas were amazing. A nice course grind on the corn.There was an Asada taco on the menu for people that don't eat seafood. It started out mid, but the arbol salsa really punched it up.Vegetarian options: The menu is almost entirely pescatarian.”
“Food is always good here. I had their teriyaki beef which was delicious. My friend had a junior hamburger which was pretty big and she had fries. We both totally enjoyed our lunch. The also keep it very clean. The area is not the best but the food is worth it. The bathrooms are for customers only and they will hand you the key. Bathroom was also very clean. Be aware there are homeless roaming this area but I have not seen any inside maybe because they actually have customers who stay to eat.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and large booths”
“I hadn't heard of this place before and I've been missing out on this little hidden gem! The kind of cozy and warm place you can imagine going to when you're a little home ”
“It was like going back in time, but in a good way. Super cool place, service and servers were awesome. Food was great. Green chili was super good. Great place to take young kids. We will be back soon.”
“Every time I ordered their liver dinner, it is fabulous. Their onions are so sweet. The bacon is crispy and during the day....I order it with the rice and the evening.... I do get the baked potato once in a while, but I do like the rice, but the liver is to die for. ..you get two nice size portions of liver .....now you have to love liver folks and I love liver! For somebody who doesn't get an opportunity to find liver that often in different restaurants flows does really good job of it. ...so liver lovers unite!”
“First time here. Food was so good! Small corner of containers of selections. Indian food is very expensive so to finally get to try small portions of different meats/dishes/rice! Was amazing. Service was very caring, i went in 11am-3pm buffet time for $20 a person in the front. Im not sure about the banquet hall wise where events and catering goes on, maybe 5pm-10pm. When it opens back up.”
“Great food and smells delicious when you enter the restaurant. Staff is friendly, courteous and attentive. Prices are reasonable and match the quality of the dishes. Easy location to get in and out.”

“Some of the best pizza you’ll find anywhere. Love the crust, delicious! They also have good calzones, pasta, and sub sandwiches. Highly recommend this old school Italian joint! A long time institution in Riverside…. The Locals know!”
“I haven't been here for years because I moved but not that I'm back in the same area I'm so glad I went here again. The food is always so flavorful and the costumer service is always so very nice. I ordered six different items and none of them disappointed me.”
“This place is a hidden gem ? honestly reminds me of tacos in Rosarito and Tijuana! Respect the culture and learn some Spanish before you eat here! Lol it’s authentic and I wouldn’t change it for anything! The lunch rush is real and I’ve never waited more than 8mins for my food no matter the line. It’s cooked to order so don’t expect to be in and out. All good things take time! ? enjoy tacos, MY FAVORITE IS SHRIMP AND FISH! but they have everything from asada to cabeza! Burritos, mulitas, tortas, tacos, caldos, quesadillas, platos, sopes, huaraches and more! Tuesday and Sunday they have fish taco specials and it’s the best deal in town!Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp close by door”
“I can't help but sing praises for this delightful pupuseria! From the moment you walk in, the friendly and attentive staff make you feel right at home. And let me tell you, the food? Spectacular!Their pupusas are a must-try; each bite bursts with flavor, leaving you craving for more. But wait, it doesn't end there! After indulging in their heavenly pupusas, treat yourself to a plate of their incredible plantains. Trust me, it's the perfect sweet ending to a savory meal.Now, let's talk about their horchata. With two varieties available, Mexican and Salvadoran, there's something for everyone. Personally, I'm all about the Mexican horchata; its creamy, refreshing taste hits all the right notes for me.To top it all off, the restaurant itself is impeccably clean and tidy, adding to the overall enjoyable dining experience. If you're looking for a place with amazing food, friendly service, and a cozy ambiance, look no further than this gem of a pupuseria!”
“This was my first visit. The first thing i noticed was the welcoming decor. I ordered the gluten-free tortilla with vegan cheese, carne asada, spinach, and mushrooms. My husband has been several times. And enjoys each visit.Flour or gluten-free tortillas. Several types of cheese, including a vegan option. Several types of meat choices. Several vegetable choices. Several soda choices. Beers on tap. Thoughtful service.Just down the street from the Riverside Plaza. So conveniently close to shopping. AAA, the 91, and downtown.Plenty of room for large parties under covered outdoor seating.”

I felt welcomed!”

My daughter also got a a cookie and a fountain drink that said "subway" on the side.They were out of Italian herb and cheese bread so I got Italian wheat which was still good.It wasn't very busy even at dinner time so we were in and out quickly. Definitely recommend!”

“Was passing by with my daughter and smelled something so amazing. Ended up following the smell here. Westin was so helpful and kind. His whole energy was nice and kind. He helped us pick our food. We got the Arcmuffin and the Steak Sando. It was so good. The place was so packed which definitely says something about the food. Only thing I would say is even though they may be busy they can’t forget safety. One of the staff spilled the latte and she was so quick to wipe it with a napkin but didn’t get it all. I seen that she was busy so I cleaned it up. Other than that it was perfect. Love the environment, great music. Need more people like Westin.”
“First time here. Wow!! So good! We ordered the Smashburger Mac and cheese, tenders, and brisket!! So delicious! Excellent service and great clean place! No doubt we will be back!! Thank you so much for making such great food!!!”

“It has been a few years since I last had a meal here. The ambiance and service is excellent still, based on a visit last weekend. We were seated right away without a reservation. The table service was top notch from everyone who waited on us. I ordered a taco salad with no meat. I was expecting a bigger salad with more black beans for protein. What I received was great quality, but was on the small side with very few black beans. Had I known that, I would have ponied up for some chicken to be added. Overall, it was a nice meal and experience. A solid four stars.”
“Jacqueline was amazing. She was extremely attentive from beginning to end and had wonderful recommendations for us. The food was delicious and, although they don't have many gluten-free options, they were accommodating with our dietary restrictions.”
“Great experience. We came to the Mission Inn, specifically to have dinner at Duanes. We ordered the bone in ribeye/ blackened shrimp,with garlic mashed potatoes and garlic green beans. The sourdough bread was delicious, nice and warm. The green beans were nice and crisp. The mashed potatoes, great flavor. The ribeye was juicy and cooked to perfection, exactly how we ordered it. Made me want to eat the bone! The blackened shrimp was a little too spicy for our taste but good flavor, probably wont order that again. Armando and Marcos were our waiters. They did an amazing job! Very attentive! Come check it out. Great service and great options to fill not only your stomach but you mouth too. Open up!!!!”
“This downtown spot is a classic Riverside staple. It’s in the heart of downtown, with views of the Historic Mission Inn Hotel. They have a wonderful patio for outdoor seating a, a bar, and an indoor dinning room with all the vibes!I really enjoyed the pear mule! It had great flavor. The steak tacos were just right, tasty and had some green sauce to add some flavor and a little heat. My friend ordered a salad and added steak. It was a huge salad and she could hardly finish half of it. For dessert my chocolate cake was not bad but, nothing to write home about. (I’m a chocolate cake snob.) My friend had the butter cake, which is a crowd favorite we were told, and it was very yummy!Overall great food, great location, great vibes!Parking: Street parking is free after 6pm downtown.”
“With their extensive menu there is something for everyone. This is great date spot or an outting with your girls. Our server was amazing and his voice was ?hopefully he takes the suggestion of recording reading of some audio books or something haha”
“Had this spot on my list for awhile, it was nice for brunch and we sat outside. It was hot so my ice cream melted of course fast however, it was still good and price wasn't bad. My friend loved her burger.”
“I had the two (carnitas) tacos plate with rice and beans. The food was good and the decor is amazing.The ground outside is uneven due to the mosaic tiles on the floor so it's not good for high heels.”
“If you’re okay with not talking to your friends and family go here, if you’re looking to party while you eat go here. Nice vibes, good service! Just wish there was a break from the music just a lil bit. Definitely don’t take babies here my son was vibing but it’s loud like a club!”
“Such great ramen here and they are 24 hrs for those late night craving. This place is so great. They are not a fancy type dining like most places around the Mission Inn but more of a hip fun casual dinning. I've already come a few times and will definitely keep coming back since the ramen is delicious and it's such a cute and fun dining experience. Definitely try the Tori.”
“The food was fire. ? Employees were nice, but the inside is kinda, meh. I think it's more light, and maybe some music or t.v., something. But It's nice outside, like the plaza it's in has a lot to do.”
“The salsa is so good I wish they sold it by the jar. Everything that was ordered in my party turned out very good and I kept eating long after I was full. The staff was very accomodating and kind. They made sure we didn't need new drinks or chips or anything. The manager was also very nice and greeted us personally.”
“We always drive by and decided to try. So good! The salsa for the tacos, is full of flavor. They're not just different levels of spicy, they each actually have a delicious flavor. The food on its own, amazing. We got the QuesaBirria, bomb! Carnita and Cabeza tacos, bomb! It's reasonably priced too and good portions. Definitely coming back”
“We are new to the Ramen experience. The young gentleman was very patient as he helped us order. The place was very clean and the booths were comfortable. Everything was delicious with generous portions. Thank you!”
“Stopped in to grab one cookie and ended up getting six. I was in and out within five minutes..Parking: This part of the plaza is always busy due to all the eateries and the theater across the street. It’s always good to park elsewhere and walk around enjoying the scenery”

“Steven brings an awesome selection of beer to Riverside. So glad to have this taproom in town. The beer selection on tap is amazing, the atmosphere is relaxed. Now he is bringing in awesome food vendors and other events. My husband and I have seen beers on tap that are rarely found. Certainly not in Riverside. He also has bottles available to buy and drink on site and or take home. A must stop when you're here. Cheers!”
