This place serves a fusion of Mexican and slight adaptations of tacos. Tacos can cost $3 each (premium service). If you like unique and creative adaptations of tacos, this place is for you.

Great place to come with great employees. Food was good and the drink was great. I found it to be a little more on expensive side. But it’s worth going to. Has a great vibe inside

Great place to have tacos in downtown riverside. Food menu is very unique. Tacos are amazing. I also tried some of the street foods. The hot dog was amazing. We had a great time. Beer menu is huge and have a bunch of local beers on draft. Staff is also very good and help with the huge selection of beers. I was visiting from out of state. Definitely a place to hit if your in the area.

It took 30 plus minutes for our food to come out. And when it did? *disappointment* This is a $17 brisket bowl lol. Yes, the three pieces of meat in this picture are all that is in the bowl lol

Food was good, service can be slow when it’s not the weekend or at night. Full bar and beers on tap or in the can.

We stopped in for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. Large menu with a great selection of foods. We started with Corn in a cup and two ice cold beers. For lunch my wife had a Chili Verde wet Burrito and I had Chili Quillies, rice, beans and two eggs over easy on top. Everything was delicious. Briana was very welcoming and told us all about the restaurant and made suggestions on different plates for us to try. A hip and comfortable location with great music playing for your in joyment. Stop in and enjoy yourselves.

The food was good but the service was rough. We went in on Sunday with 4 adults and 3 kids so a larger party. Our waitress from the start said she had never done this before. Half our parties food was forgotten and she when she came back to check on us she didn’t seem to realize until it was pointed out to her. It was really stuffy in there and they’re a little stingy with the water refills.

Went to the art museum and thought I could find some good carne asada tacos. The server was super nice, but I gotta say the carne asada was dry and had no flavor. The corn didn’t even have any flavor. If you are looking for some tj style tacos this ain’t it. I’m sure other people might like it but I was disappointed. Good area too, lotsa room. This place has so much potential. The tacos didn’t even have aguacate.

We’ve been coming here since they opened. It was always our jam, then pinche Covid hit. Started coming back semi-frequently in 2022, but it just wasn’t the same. The food and drinks are always great, no issues, no complaints. Very solid. The part that has taken a downward turn is the service. We used to be able to just order from the bar after we sat down, but not anymore. Only from the register. The other part that is disappointing is how sticky the bar has been for the last year. It was never like that when Tyler was here.
