“I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Amazing food, family atmosphere, super sweet service. The baba ghanoush was literally to die for, the lamb was succulent, the chicken kabsa was so flavourful, and the lentil soup was incredible. The sheer variety of baklava was amazing and so good. The portions are big so definitely bring a friend. My whole family was raving about this restaurant, definitely a hidden gem.

Kid-friendliness: Children welcome, but there is no children's menu. High chairs are available.“

“Had their “enchiladas divorciadas” and they we’re phenomenal! One was filled with juicy fresh steak and the other with grilled chicken. Chicken was also juicy and tasted exceptional. Came with rice and beans. My husband got their “empanadas de tinga.” Came with side of beans rice and garnishes.

We also had their sopa azteca 12oz and some ingredients were chicken, tortilla chips, avocado, in a rich tomato base soup. Not tangy and bitter. Just right!

This will be my new preferred Mexican restaurant. Price was reasonable for tasty quality Mexican food. Like my husband said “feels like we’re eating at home.” Food was authentic. ?‍↕️?‍↕️?‍↕️“

“I don’t eat much meat but the side dishes are worth coming for. A wide variety of freshly made vegetables, tofu and fish cakes. The place is outdated but food is good, not overpriced, service was attentive. $30.00 inclusive for lunch per person.“

“JENNIFER our waitress was amazing! She came to our needs before we even asked. Great service!!! Food was awesome as usual!!! Thanks for a wonderful experience again!!!“

“Overall, my experience was positive. The establishment was clean and offered a pleasant ambiance with multiple televisions for sports enthusiasts. While the prices were higher, the generous portion sizes justified the cost. I highly recommend the steak for its exceptional flavor. Although the service was slightly lacking in terms of attentiveness, particularly for a large group, it is understandable considering the apparent busyness of the restaurant. I recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a variety of quality food options, including burgers, pizzas, wings, and steaks. The restrooms were well-maintained and clean, and there was a hostess available to seat customers promptly.

Wheelchair accessibility: They do have a ramp leading to restaurant.“

“I have had to travel to the area quite a few times for work this year, and I am glad I found The Green Taco the first time I was out.

I have had their breakfast burrito, carne asada burrito, quesabirria tacos and their asada fries. All of these items have been great.

Their people are friendly and always looking to be helpful and make suggestions.

Atmosphere is exactly what you would expect from a taco shop, but it is clean.

I will continue to stop in anytime I am in the area, this is my go to taco spot in Riverside and it should be yours also!“

“Really great pizza but my fav thing there is the Masala Fries. To die for, I'm not kidding. Try them! I get the mildest version and it's still spicy enough to be delicious.

Vegetarian options: Have delicious vegan options also“

“Hello everyone today which is 7/22/24 I have came here to try this place was the nearest restaurant to me so I ended up coming here and giving this food a try I have picked #41 u guys wont believe it I hope we had tummy in Chicago this place has the healthiest and delicious food can’t wait to come back again.

“The food was excellent. We had a California omelet and another platter. The server Cesar was very courteous and attentive. As far as the restaurant it was very clean and it was nicely decorated. Overall excellent work! We have found a new breakfast place.“

“I tried the 3 roll combo from their Togo Special menu and the food was better than expected. I got the Dragon Roll, Amagi Roll & Hot Night Roll, and by the time I finished half a portion, I felt full already. The Togo Special is an awesome deal, and I'll definitely come back next time when I'm craving rolls.“

“Great family place to eat. I still have one of their 10 year anniversary pint glasses. Great food too.“

“Try the Friday evening pasta bar, it's the bomb! Their biscuits are the best too.“

“It was great.. hardly any patrons..but our soup was kinda "lukewarm"
And our food may have sat at window too long..when it got to table ..no longer "HOT!"
4*..
AS WHY OUR FOOD DIDN'T COME OUT STEAMING HOT...🤷
( WAIT STAFF took hitforsoup.
However food needs to be hotter..not lukewarm.. disappointed in that area. It was 3pm..so No huge. Crowd.“

“The signature Pho is a delicious mix of meat. Service was fast and courteous. The atmosphere is different from the usual Vietnamese restaurants, themed with 80's musicians. Parking can be challenging at peak hours.

Parking: Street parking is an alternative.“

“Everything is delicious!!“

“like how they give you samples of different flavors. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“AMAZING is the best word to describe breakfast here. The chef’s passion and experience show through to the table presentation that is mind blowing!!! The latte was perfect too !!! THANK YOU AGAIN for such a wonderful meal“

“We placed an order for a large group. Staff guided us through our selections and recommended family dinners over catering items, which was a great cost-savings! Our order was ready on time, and staff helped put it in our car for transport to the party. Food was prepped to order, salad was fresh, rice and kebabs were perfect, bread was fresh and cut into manageable pieces, and dressings were amazing. They truly exceeded our expectations, and we'll definitely return in the future!“

“Amazing authentic mexican food! The portions are huge, the food is super delicious and the staff is very nice. I went a few times and I keep coming back. It is simply the best Mexican restaurant in Riverside (and there are many), highly recommended.

Vegetarian options: Not bad vegetarian options for a Mexican restaurant.“

“Been eating here for over 10 years, and they never disappoint. Pizza is always served hot, and the toppings taste as fresh as possible And the wings are good as well. My favorite is anchovies and onion on thin crust and it is always perfect“

“Best cookies ever!!! So many tasty flavors and the Riverside cookie is awesome!!! They are all so delicious, it’s hard to only buy a dozen!!!“

“I like Sushi OK because this restaurant has consistency. To-go pickup or dine-in, they always make my order right. My favorite is their Chirashi bowl and Lunch Bento Specials B. I had an Omakase dinner a few years ago on my birthday, and all the special/deluxe dishes were very delicious! It was not cheap but totally worth it.“

“You can taste the freshness in the food. We had some dumplings that were really flavorful. The only thing is that it wasn’t busy, but no one would come check on us so we kinda had to wait to see someone to ask for stuff. Other than that, the pho was delicious because it wasnt over seasoned but still had rich flavor.“

“SANDWICHES ARE AMAZING!!! AND THEY SERVE BEER AND KOOL AID. CAN'T BEAT THAT! A+ 5 STARS“

“A great little eatery in Riverside whether you are heading to Mount Rubidoux or hanging out at the park next to it is a good spot to grab a bite to eat. They have a large menu and and nothing is over priced. The owner and his staff are always kind and make a welcoming atmosphere.

Parking: Parking directly out front of business shares parking lot with other businesses usually s spot available our front.

Kid-friendliness: Welcoming family environment always see local church groups eating here.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair ramp on both sides of business parking lot.“

“I went to this coffee shop for the first time a couple weekends ago with my girlfriend. Since I moved back to Riverside this summer, I’ve made it a point to try local businesses. I browsed the menu before I went, and I knew I had to go just based on the flavor options alone.

When I walked in, it was pretty busy. All the tables inside were occupied, and there were people hanging out in the outdoor seating area as well. Aside from the reviews, seeing all the people there had me feeling like I was in for a treat, and I was definitely right!

I ordered the Lavender Black & White and a coffee cake. My girlfriend ordered the Espresso Chip (blended latte). Both drinks were really tasty, especially the espresso chip. That one was sweeter than the lavender one. The lavender coffee is great if you like the taste of coffee with a hint of sweetness. I mainly tasted the lavender and coffee. If you enjoy lavender, this is a good option for you. The coffee cake was also delicious and the perfect amount of sweet and fluffiness.

The staff there is super nice. The cashier who rang us up even tried to rescue us from a bee that made its way inside the shop. If you’ve been thinking of giving this place a try, go for it! You won’t be disappointed.

NOTE: I saw several people had ordered the strawberries and cream drink. It’s a smoothie consistency, and it looked super tasty. Considering how popular it is, I’m sure it’s magically delicious! They have a section on the menu titled “If coffee’s not your thing,” so there’s a little something for everyone.

Parking: The shop is in a shopping center, and there are a couple designated 10-minute parking spots right in front.“

“By far one of the best tasting Mexican Food restaurant's in the IE. I go to lunch here often and they make the food fast and the staff is very friendly. The food taste like home made food. Simply delicious. I ordered a Chili Verde with pork, bean, rice and cheese wet burrito. One of the best I have eaten.“

“Love this restaurant! Great food and the people that work there are the BEST!“

“Me and my kids love going here. The vibes are great and friendly staff.“

“Love this place!!! Stopped by Urban Cafe in Moreno Valley and had a great experience! We ordered the Chicken Club and the Chimichurri Steak Sandwich, both were delicious and full of flavor. The side salad was fresh and a nice bonus. We also got cookies, and they were warm and gooey such a treat! Great food, friendly service, and a cozy spot. We’ll definitely be back!“

“me gustó mucho mi smoothie de mango“

“Amazing and flavorful food. I can’t wait to come back. ❤️“

“They know how to cook it up“

“My son who's a JW North HS student, and I, tried the spicy ramen, chicken fried rice, and dumplings. Delicious 😋“

“Ordered online and it was ready when I got there. Fast and friendly service. Since I was driving I asked for everything on the side so nothing was soggy. This is also great for those in your family that only want it a certain way. You can order a large and each person can make it how they want without paying for 2 sandwiches.“

“AMAZING!!! Cardelli’s is truly a hidden gem! I drive 15 miles one way and it’s well worth it! The sandwiches are just unbelievably delicious and the bread is crazy good!!

If you’re looking for something fresh with Italian charm, then you need Cardelli’s in your life!! I’m so glad I found it and now it’s my favorite spot!!“

“Not only is the customer service AMAZING the sub I got was great very fresh I really enjoyed it. Try the chicken pesto sub !“

“Orders from this place initially came from door dash but not once have my coworkers and I had an issue. This is one of those places that can get really busy, so call your order in ahead of times if you are going on a quick break. The item I enjoy the most is their emely burrito but all of their burritos are filled with ingredients and full of flavor. I think I am a big eater but I have not finished the burrito in one sitting ever.

I have also gone in to pick up my order and staff were friendly and professional. Price wise my burrito was less than 12$ but for the portion you're given it is a good deal. Parking in the shopping center can be a little congested depending on time but that's not the restaurants fault. I see happy customers when I go into the facility so I assume they are satisfied. Will update with photos before I bite into it next time :)

Vegetarian options: If you are vegetarian they have a few options and customizing can be done per request. It does not advertise as a vegetarian place, they have limited options and the emely burrito is one such option.“

“Everything is always amazing. A great date night.“

“If you're in Riverside, the In-N-Out off the 91 freeway is a must-visit! I had the classic Number 1 combo, a Double-Double Animal Style with Animal Style fries, and it was delicious as always. The burger was juicy, and the fries were perfectly crispy and cheesy. My son enjoyed the Flying Dutchman, which was a hit too. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick, making our lunch feel special. For a satisfying burger experience, this spot never disappoints!“
