We've tried it here twice and were underwhelmed each time. The staff is lovely! But the food just hasn't been worth the price. It's a decent option when our favorite place down the street is closed. Their agua fresca is really good though, I'm probably going to stop by just for that on occasion.

Always stop at this restaurant whenever we're in Riverside. Wouldn't drive to Riverside just to eat here however. Food is doable, but can't say anything outstanding. The girl at the front counter isn't exactly Miss Congeniality, as I've encountered her several times. The one outstanding person in this restaurant is the waitress. She has worked here for years, and is one of the most pleasant and efficient food servers I've encountered.

Went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our visit.
Will definitely take the drive out here. Worth our hour drive!
