One of the best Mexican restaurants in Riverside! They start you with fresh chips and salsa and everything from start to finish was delicious. Our server was super friendly.... wish I caught their name. The quesadilla had just the right balance of meat and cheese. Not too salty, and the carne asada burrito was tender. Portions were generous and we had enough to take home. Definitely worth coming back!
