About Retro Taco

Retro Taco offers amazing brisket tacos at a reasonable price, with a helpful manager suggesting other great menu options. The fried avocado taco is a must-try, crispy with perfect sauce, and the bartender adds to the fun atmosphere. The decor and setup are incredible, with friendly service and delicious nachos and tacos. The street tacos are really good, with a generous side of guacamole. While the plated taco with rice and beans may not be filling for some, there are plenty of other items to try on the menu. The new owners have introduced a fresh menu with good fusion food and drinks. The drinks, including the pineapple spicy margarita, have received high praise. A great place to visit, especially in downtown Riverside, it also hosts special deals like $10.00 Pozole on Mondays and offers a popular Taco Tuesday with 99 cent tacos. Despite some initial wait times, the service is attentive, making it a great spot for returning customers.

Recently, customers have praised the friendly staff and the quality of the food for large parties and special events. One reviewer shared their wedding reception experience, highlighting the beautiful decorations, delicious food, and attentive service, recommending it for bigger gatherings. The new ownership has brought community-oriented passion, with favorites like garlic noodles with FILET MIGNON and the Hawaiian haupia pie, which visitors find irresistible. The cocktails, such as the pineapple spicy margarita, are highly enjoyed. Visitors also mention the relaxed atmosphere, with one ordering a chipotle shrimp taco a la cart—describing it as a flavor explosion—and another enjoying Pork Bao Buns, both emphasizing the enjoyable dining experience.
