    My quesadilla that looked so beautiful required but one bite, and I knew something was not right. After a second try, I returned it. It was clear the shrimp was of poor quality, and was possibly poorly handled. It smelled and tasted horrible. Mr. B's garlic shrimp meal tasted the same way. He was brave and continued eating it. The only good thing was, no emergency trips to the bathroom afterwards. But his leftovers went straight in the trash after arriving home. He did not want to take a risk after that. Even the complimentary chips and salsa were disappointing. Neither light nor fresh, the hard tortilla chips deserved to be ignored. And the salsa had little flavor. I would not trust any of their seafood dishes after eating their shrimp. Pity, because it was a cute venue, but we would definitely not return.

    I'm originally from Orange County, home to some fantastic seafood spots! I'm thrilled to have finally discovered a great place here in Riverside. Thank you, Cinthia, for your exceptional service and attentiveness--we felt truly at home!

    Food was amazing and service was amazing as well. Best place to come and get your grub you will be taken care off here. Place was super clean.

    La comida siempre es buena, tienen una variedad de platillos para cualquier gusto, las porciones de los platillos vale totalmente el precio y el servicio es muy agradable las meseras son muy atentas y amables, y el ambiente es muy tranquilo y familiar, con banda y karaoke los fines de semana, un buen lugar para visitar cualquier día de la semana, me encanta!

    Thank You Jacky

    The only reason I'm not giving this place one star is because the server was so kind (she had glasses). However, the food was BLAND and TERRIBLE. As a mexican it is so annoying and shameful when people open resturaunts and call it mexican food, anyone's abuelita would look down upon this restaurant, big yikes. The frijoles, my god, they tasted like a dirty rag, i honestly don't know how a mexican resturaunt can mess up frijoles, embarassing. The rice was suuuuper bland. The tortillas, definitely just some packaged tortillas tossed on the grill. Just please stop opening resturaunts if you're not gonna actually cook mexican food, the salsa was definitely from a can, you can tell... the horchata, TERRIBLE, it tasted like powdered horchata mix. Actually MAKE mexican food, reduce the menu to a couple of staple items you're gonna put your heart into and represent Mexico well, what a shame.

    10/10 fresh seafood, I recommend, service was fast, quality was amazing and ambience they had live music so 10/10 for me. Coming back again :)

    So goooddddd love the food! And drinks! The salsa and chips was so good as an appetizer plus the fish tacos

    Huevos Con Chorizo

    Restaurant is clean with a small bar straight ahead. Loud music videos play in the background. Ordered the huevos con chorizo(pictured) and had a Paloma. The cocktail at 230 pm with what I assume was not the regular bartender, left a LOT to be desired. Other than that, the food was well prepared and well presented.

The meal started off strong with their chips and salsa--super fresh and flavorful. For my entrée, I had the chicken fajitas. While they were cooked properly, I wish they had a bit more seasoning to really bring out the flavor. My wife had the enchiladas divorciadas, which were beautifully presented, but unfortunately, the filling was a bit cool. She probably should have sent it back, but since we were in a hurry, we didn't bother. On the positive side, my daughter had the carne asada burrito, and she said it was excellent. Service started off great with our younger male waiter being very attentive at first, but it slowed down significantly as our meal went on. By the end of our visit, I actually had to go up to the register to ask to pay. It was lunch time, and it wasn't that busy, so this felt a bit out of the ordinary. Despite the hiccups, I'm willing to give Morena's Mexican Cuisine another try, as it may have just been an off day. The chips and salsa, along with my daughter's burrito, showed that they definitely have what it takes to impress. I'll reserve final judgment after my next visit!

I found out about it through my cousin, who's a UCR alum, and I'm really glad I finally got to try it. The staff were super nice and attentive, constantly coming by our table to check if we needed more water, tortillas, or anything else we might want. Even with how busy it was, they still made sure everyone was taken care of, which I really appreciated. The restaurant was packed, and it actually surprised me because I don't usually see that many people at restaurants in Riverside. The energy inside felt lively but still comfortable. One of my favorite parts was the fresh tortillas. They come out hot and fresh from the oven, and you can literally watch them being made right in front of you, which made it even better. And the best part is they're free. We ordered the carne fajitas and chile relleno. The fajitas were incredible, the meat was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, with that perfect smoky sear that comes from being cooked fresh on a hot skillet. Everything came out sizzling and stayed flavorful with every bite. The chile relleno was also really good, with a nice balance of savory and slightly creamy filling that paired well with the sauce. It was actually my first time trying fajitas, and I can confidently say I'll be ordering them again the next time I come back. I definitely plan on returning while I'm still at UCR to make up for all the years I didn't know this place existed.

I guess with the theme of "homemade tortillas" they use them for everything including chips. Tacos hard shell, taste more like "flautas". Drinks are way "overpriced" for the size.

Their Mojarra for one, is amazing with some corn tortillas, beans and rice, and lettuce. The lime garlicky sauce on that one, is what I've been dreaming of. It was THE star of the show. And we also got their wet supreme burrito mojado, with the mole sauce all over it Also tried their agua fresca, loved the cucumber and lime flavor! Great size for two to share, and we had a blast just eating and enjoying the sights laid out to see. Their pickled onions got a spicy kick to it! I loved the added crunch instead of just having the typical hot salsa. Service was great, with the waiters and waitresses checking in on us every now and then, and I liked that we pay first then eat, so we just leave after we're done! Excellent experience as the weather was perfect too, the outdoor seating has some mosquitoes but be sure to go when it's not molting hot outside!

The sauce was creamier than I am used to, wasn't a fan. Staff was overall very kind and service was quick for being such a big place, maybe a little too quick though.
