This restaurant has been open for about 5 years (that's what they told us). It is one of the cleanest restaurants I've ever been in. The decore is what I thick they would refer to as Tele Nuevo (what I was told by a friend). Very cool! The food was delicious. I had one is the lunch combos. Those Tamales are perfect. If you like hot all for the hot salsa.

My wife and I eat regularly at Estancia for dinners and lunch. IMO it is tasty with reasonable portions and good prices. Overall it is better then some of the larger Mexican restuarants in the area with a casual atmosphere and great customer service. Too many persons fall for the ambiance of a place and don't get quality or authentic Mexican food. In warm weather their small patio is very inviting with plenty fo parking nearby.

La Estancia in Riverside is one of those gems that makes you slow down and savor every bite. I tried their veggie taco, and it was outstanding — colorful roasted carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli piled high on warm tortillas, topped with fresh cilantro and served with a wedge of lime. It was simple, vibrant, and bursting with flavor.
What I love is that they don’t treat vegetarian options like an afterthought. This taco had a smoky, charred depth from the veggies, a brightness from the lime, and that satisfying warmth of homemade tortillas. It felt both hearty and fresh at the same time.
The restaurant itself has a cozy, welcoming vibe — the kind of place where you can sit with friends, enjoy authentic flavors, and not feel rushed. It’s clear they put care into their food, whether it’s traditional meats or something plant-based.
If you’re in Riverside and craving Mexican food, La Estancia deserves a spot on your list. And if you’re vegetarian (or just taco-curious), don’t miss the veggie taco — it’s proof that sometimes the simplest dishes shine the brightest. 🌮✨

The absolute best guac, I and my family have ever had. It's well worth the trip. Thank you LaEstancia.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here. The atmosphere is very chill, with a nice outdoor patio if thats your thing! Service was very friendly and attentive. The margaritas were stiff but well balanced and delicious, and the steak tacos and quesebirria were AWESOME. Will definitely be back!
Delicious. Drinks are also great. We will certainly continue to return.
Food is all great. Everything sampled has been stellar.
Let me talk about how this is the best quesadilla around.
It's grilled cheese down on the flat iron then flipped, so it has this nutty layer of toasted cheese in the middle of the thing.
It's god tier.

I went here with my family last week, the food was so good, it was clean, and our server I believe his name was Juan, he was so attentive and kind!!! They also are one of the few the restaurants that are opened early and thankfully they were bc it was really hot outside.
