Love the food here especially the deserts.but the closing before your actual closing time is very unprofessional. And if you don’t feel safe working alone at night than maybe u shouldn’t stay open until 9 but to tell a customer at 8:50 that they couldn’t buy two slices of cake because your register is closed is crazy.

Did some plumbing work for these guys with the previous company I worked for. Being that my wife and I had just moved to Riverside(late 2018), I had always wanted to try this place. Finally got around to it tonight and boy they definetly not disappoint. We ordered take out, food was delivered hot and fresh. Very flavorful, authentic and delicious. We have a 2 pizza spots, a Chinese spot, bar spot and now I have found my go to Mexican restaurant ?. Keep it up guys!!!

Went here a couple weeks ago and I was kind of impressed. Never went to a place with homemade chips and salsa. Also, the vegetarian enchiladas were pretty good. I was doing video for my YT but I'll have to remember this if I'm ever in Riverside again.
