Unfortunately, I would not return to this El Torito location. We waited approximately 35 minutes…read morefor our food, which is far too long--especially when you're on a lunch break. Our server was amazing and provided great service, so this review is not a reflection of her. However, no one acknowledged the delay or let us know the kitchen was running behind. I eventually had to ask about our food. My mom ordered the crunchy tacos, and I ordered the sizzling enchiladas. My enchiladas barely had any meat, and when I tried one of my mom's tacos, the shell was stale and extremely hard with almost no meat or filling. After waiting so long, the food tasted as though it had been rushed out only because I asked about it. The long wait, lack of communication, and poor food quality made the experience very disappointing. I would not recommend this Riverside location.

I ordered a hot fig latte and it was honestly incredible. You can tell they really care about their craft--the espresso shot was smooth and rich, and the flavor of the fig was perfectly balanced, not too sweet but still super satisfying. The fact that they make all their syrups in-house really shows in the quality. I loved it so much I ended up buying a bag of their coffee beans to take home, which says a lot. The location is great, the ambiance is on point, and the coffee is genuinely some of the best I've had in a while.

As a certified matcha girly, this review is solely for the matcha…read more Condron is definitely my favorite matcha spot in Riverside, but I'd categorize it more as a "sweet, milky matcha shop" rather than the bitter, earthy, tea-forward matcha you tend to get at a lot of places in OC and LA. The matcha itself isn't super strong, and the overall drink really depends on whichever syrup you choose. That being said, I still have a soft spot for my sweet drinks, and Condron does them really well. The matcha lavender is always my go-to -- floral, creamy, and sweet in the best way. When they had their salted maple syrup, that was also SO good and probably one of my favorite seasonal combinations they've done. So if you're looking for a super bold, earthy matcha, this probably isn't the spot. But if you like a sweeter, milkier matcha with fun flavors, Condron is easily my favorite option in Riverside.
