“This place is pretty good . We had the fish taco meal for about $13 dollars . Came with rice and beans . Let me tell you the tacos were piping hot and fresh 10/10 . They will bring you lemons and peppers witch I have to also add the pepper was seasoned, now that was a game changer , I spilt it open took the seeds out and I lace it on my tacos 10/10 . We also shared 3 rolled tacos . It was also good but I will add pretty expensive but definitely worth every penny . We used the chips they gave us as nachos with the green sauce they have and leftover beans rice and other leftover veggies . All in all a perfect meal .. I complemented the chef cause if the food is perfect the chef should know . Oh and horchata taste like Cinnamon Toast Crunch milk . 10/10 but no refill . Only juices are free refill . Next time“

“Food was spot on, items arrived as ordered .. a bit delayed on some dishes but overall good and priced well. Staff was courteous and gentlemen kept our drinks filled. Would have appreciated having trash and empty plates removed .. 7 people at a table, the plates were stacking up. Patio was perfect for dog friendly dining, server brought both dogs water bowls.“

“Some sketch behavior last time I was there from one of the employees (hadn't seen him there before) - paying people off the street, dropping bags behind that side door, calling people for cash - I dunno! I just hope nothing shady - don't want to be around it if so! He was friendly though and the food is still yummy!!!

Update 08/26/24: Been here a few more times... I keep intending to try other items, but that taco plate calls my name EVERY time! ;P And it never disappoints!! Different staff member this time but just as friendly. Keep supporting small businesses like this that offer a quality product, good value, and great attitudes/customer service!
*****

Let me start this out by saying, I am picky about my meat!! I usually will try a carne asada taco & maybe beans/rice at a place, as a test item to see if I'll order more and go back.

Tacos here are meaty and have great flavors!! Not chopped up gristle & fat either but pure chunks of meat and each taco is generously stuffed! Staff are extremely nice and hard working! I'll be craving these and now I have to go back to try the chile relleno burrito!!

I got a generous taco plate w/ 3 (fat) tacos (beans & rice), Mexi coke bottle, and left a tip, all for around $20.

**Support small businesses**“

“buenos tacos 100% recomendados“

“Had Sanchez tacos cater our wedding . Hands down the best . Set up was amazing , plenty of food and tasted Amazing. My next event I will hire them again to cater“

“Delicious food. Fast & friendly service..“

“that's is my first times i might like it“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“We were hungry after doing some shopping in Moreno Valley and we spotted some taco trucks. We picked Tacos de Catalina because we have a granddaughter named Catalina. This is the ONLY taqueria in the USA that I've been to that serves tacos al pastor with grilled pineapple! They were the best I've had outside of Mexico. Unfortunately, they seemed to have changed locations because I have not seen their truck for a couple of months. :-( BTW I did ask for the pineapple--not sure if it's standard.“

“Este lugar sin duda es mi favorito por muchas razones el servício la comida y la limpieza“

“Keríko Pollos y Tacos es uno de los mejores lugares para comer de Riverside ca.“

“el copter de camerons y las quesadilla“

“Fish tacos from here are now my constant craving!! 🥰 and the seasoned fries with their ranch! So good here and clean. Good quality food I trust.“

“Great food very clean establishment Friendly helpful staff 3rd visit will be back again!!“

“Great flavor on all meats pastor, asada, cabeza and other organs (soo good). The team lost some people due to the city forcing all vendors to actual food trucks, seems like they let some folks go. But the flavor is still the same. Self serve sauces, and they have this super hot one in a pour handle. If you like spice try it. The green avacado sauce is less spicy and my 2nd favorite sauce. The portion does seem smaller than prior to the food truck.“

“Best birria. Get the comsume.“

“dan buen serbi. sio. te tratan. bien“

“La comida estaba súper deliciosa y muy amables las muchachas . 10/10 en la comida 👌🏼😋“

“Food quality was fantastic. Food was flavorful, just delicious! They came out to cater my daughters birthday party, they had options for the little ones and they all loved it. They were on time and their set up was impeccable. They matched the theme of the party which I thought was fantastic on their part. Everything was just amazing. Thank you again toscos la piedad for such an amazing experience.“

“I've been going here for almost thirty years it's great .it could use a makeover but whatever..the food is great..tripsas is like my aunt used to Make for me .caldo de res even fried chicken..but the rellenos..it's a no..only thing not good“

“I came here as a recommendation from some friends, and I had the Steak and Egg Breakfast Burrito. As always, I post my half eaten food.

I was received with an incredible customer service. There was some misunderstanding with my order and they re-did my order real quick. I apologize for the misunderstanding from my behalf.“

“I come from Los Angeles to the church in Riverside and I always stop by for the beer tacos, the bird, they always greet me with a smile and good service, the beer is delicious, I recommend that you come and eat, I don't know if you will regret it.“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“I have passed this place several times and recently saw this was under new management. Me and my daughter dropped in and ordered a few tacos. She had the asada and I had the shrimp tacos . They are excellent, a little pricey but honestly my favorite spot in the area! Great service as well ! Thank you .“

“This is a solid Taco with fresh tortillas with standard condiments and great red, bright orange, and bright green salsa. A good taco truck, Mexican menu. Update 6/3/26 I tried the pastor tacos wow spicy flavorful meat! Marinated and shredded with a slice of pineapple.“

“Taco bell tostada salads are back their mini now but Thank God they're back , you have to get 3 to 4 to enjoy a good meal, came to spend time with my sis here in Riverside, a such a nice matured beatiful lady help us , I just ❤ when they have older people working ,love it really , it's better to have them working then fir them to be bored at home or frustrated taking care of grandkids.“

“My family and I love George’s, We tell all our friends and family about what a great place to eat it’s been for the last 25 years. I have never had a complaint until the last 3 months with my favorite chili cheese fries. Whoever is make the chili now is over doing it with the pepper 🌶️ It’s too hot and no enough chili for the mountain of fries Please go back to the original recipe and portion size. I would rather pay more and be able to enjoy flavor and enough chili to cover my fries. Thank you.“

“It was so AWESOME! I was having a bad day and didn't know how I was going to get my next meal when I was walking by Jack in the Box and a young guy yelled to me, 'hey, you hungry!?' I said, 'YES! I am very much!' and he bought me a jumbo jackbkt3“

“The Team Leader Adrienna was very personable and professional. Felt very welcome“

“I had the carnitas nachos and they had literally 4 strands of meat. The "cheese" was liquid, the sour cream was a dollop size and had a million of jalapeño slices and 10 gazillion nachos o and maybe 2 spoonfuls of beans. Soup spoonfuls. Worst fast food ever. Boise Id“

“National Taco Day is on October 4 every year but today's recognition goes to Chronic Tacos their breakfast burritos, which I get with Impossible beef and discovered at the end of August 2025. I was rushing in before 11:30 AM to pick up his and hers to take home on an ice block. Now they are served all day, so I can pick them up later and has become a weekly thing. 🌯🥳
Impossible Beef, hash, and egg is the perfect base and for toppings, I get hubs cheese and hot sauce, I get cilantro and pico de gallo 😋 (The first time we tried the breakfast burritos with guac but it was more distracting and they are tastier without it 🥑)

I first tried Chronic Tacos the summer of 2018. Being vegetarian, I tried their potato taco, and the 2nd time made it into a meal with beans, Spanish rice, chips and spicy mayo.

I made it back in 2020 when I learned they had Beyond Beef, and tried it on a burrito! I also made it in before 10 AM to try the Beyond Beef on a breakfast burrito 🌯

I ordered the burritos with white rice, as I was kindly advised the Spanish rice has chicken broth(!)
I wasn't made aware of this on my first visit when I ordered the Spanish rice with my potato taco, but fast forward to 2025 I was again made aware of this when I was about to order it with the Impossible Beef that they now carry.

I wish Chronic Tacos made vegetarian Spanish rice or made it clear on their menu that it is not, but I am so glad they have sustained a vegetarian beef option 👍👏
Spring Break week I picked up dinner to go twice, a good opportunity to support one of the few eateries open while the students are gone.
The Bowl-Rito starts at $10.25 plus Impossible Beef for $2 and guac for $2.25. It was a hefty bowl for $14.50 and turned into 2 meals. Similarly the Burrito version would also be $14.50 but for an add'l $1.50 I had to try the Hot Cheeto Burrito, and hubs and I both were surprised by how good they were! Adding the Cheetos made the burritos ginormous so they also became 2 meals, dinner and lunch the next day. Although I can no longer handle dairy and prefer the breakfast burrito, I definitely recommend trying it!“

“Always Happy to come and eat at one of my favorite places, especially for tacos 🌮, authentic Mexican cuisine 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Recomendable 100% la sensación que obtienes en tu paladar se vuelve inigualable ante semejante delicia“

“This is a great Jack in the Box, I haven't had a bad meal at this location, that can't be said for other locations. They're quick, and my order is always correct. The dining area is always clean, including the restrooms.

Parking: They've got plenty of parking, you could park your big RV in the lot because there's enough room.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have 4 handicap parking spots with wheelchair access“

“good ac..a little bit ghetto ..“

“Food here is good for fast food. Milkshakes are my favorite here and you can mix/match the flavors. If want can ask for chocolate and strawberry milkshake as an example. Nice thick real ice cream shakes. Syrup for chocolate and strawberry shakes though. So that knocks food to three stars. Tacos are my favorite item and cheapest on the menu, but taste good still.“

“When I have a taco, I'm transported back in time. 1967“

“The best Jack In the box in riverside!! A young lady I believe her name was Esmeralda gave us great customer service last week my family and me came to this location and we are deaf and she did a great job with her sign language even if she didn't know a lot she still did her best in helping us as well as bringing our food to us she made us feel seen even if we can't hear and asking us if everything was okay that's something we will never forget way to go Jack In The Box!! We will definitely be returning and we fell good knowing this location has someone who Knows ASL!!🤟“
