El Trigo Restaurant offers authentic Mexican cuisine that feels like a home-cooked meal. Despite being small and possibly requiring a short wait for seating, customers appreciate the quick service and delicious food. The homemade salsa, menudo, carne asada, and homemade corn tortillas receive high praise. The menu updates bring new dishes like sope asada, lengua tacos, buche taco, and camarones empanizados, all served with warm, handmade tortillas. The friendly staff accommodates special requests, although some dishes like the coctel camarón y pulpo may need additional seasoning. The restaurant’s cozy vibe and welcoming atmosphere make it a popular local spot. Visitors often comment on how the outside looks torn down and like a hole-in-the-wall, but the food is considered very good—some say it tastes just like home or like food from Mexico. Many customers enjoy trying different plates and find the portions generous. The restaurant is small and busy, so takeout is common, though there is a desire for online order service. Overall, El Trigo’s flavorful dishes, attentive service, and friendly environment make it highly recommended for those seeking a laid-back, satisfying Mexican meal near downtown Riverside.
