    Potato taco
    Shaundra N.

    So damn good!! I love ceviche and baja tacos, and having this place close to home is going to make it an easy regular place to stop by. It's a casual sit down/take out spot and was bright and clean when we walked in. We were quickly greeted by friendly staff as we browsed their menu and she told us about some of their items. Everything was so good! Loved our order of baja fish tacos (great flavors throughout each element, great texture on the fish, not mushy at all), taquitos (crunchy, with good flavor, you can tell they're made fresh), ceviche (so damn good and spicy too!) and a potato taco (actually had too much potato in it for me personally, but it was still delicious). They also had some really good agua frescas, a bar to the side which looked to serve beers and maybe margaritas, a self serve salsa bar, and a refrigerator section with more drinks and desserts. Can't wait to go back and try out more of their menu - looking forward to trying the surf and turf tacos/burritos next time!

    The drive thru alone gives this place some points! The lady at the front was very kind. Our food came out quick and fresh. I had the fish taco plate and we tried the nachos. The nachos were okay. There were no cheese or meat under the pile of chips. So we basically had plain tortilla chips. Although the asada meat we had on top was really good though! The fish tacos were 10/10!! Loved it!

    Mixto Ceviche (octopus and shrimp) with special tostada

    This is the third Mexican restaurant in this location and I think we have a winner (actually, I was a fan of Mr Taco for years). The menu is pretty straightforward Baja Mexican tacos and burritos, as well as ceviche. The ceviche is what I come for and I think it's pretty darn good. Really fresh and tasty, spicy and tangy with a nice mix of seafood, onions, and avocado. Normally comes with a four pack of tostadas but this time the owner hooked us up with some green nopales tostadas and introduced us to eating it with a dab of mayonnaise between the tostada and ceviche. I'm already a ceviche fan but this really elevated it. Fish burrito is also yummy and well priced at $8 for a fairly large burrito. The beans are more flavorful than standard refried beans. Goes great with the four different salsas. Service has always been incredible for a fast casual restaurant. The staff always makes you feel welcome and cared for. I hope they can make the location work for them for a long time!

    Fried Fish tacos

    Updating my review. And I can honestly say they stepped it up after my last review. I can actually say this is a pretty damn good fish taco. It's not the best fish taco I've had, but it's the best in this neighborhood. This time around I can finally taste the fish, which was really good, wish I had a little more sauce but next time I'll ask for more. I'll be back to try the other food. But this place deserves the high ratings.

    We've had an excellent experience everytime we have eaten Baja Shack! So happy it is in town, great fish tacos/fish taco bowl. The birria burrito is really good and we've tried both of the shrimp ceviches and neither of those disappointed ! Our kids love it also! Really quick service, take out and dine in have both gone smooth, salsa bar was a plus!

    Having just gotten back from Baja Mexico (Bahía Concepción-Puerto Penasco) I was skeptical that Riverside would have good authentic Baja "shack" food. Let me just say it was fantastic, the fish and tacos were made with such fresh and amazing ingredients and the aqua Fresca was better than the ones I had in Mexico. We will be back soon!

    Vibe is rad family owned and the food is killer! They absolutely make you feel like you're their long lost cousins from the good side of the family. Be back soon. Had the Birria quesadilla and the surf and turf taco. Absolute fire! Sealed the deal with a Modelo.

    Ceviche
    Jd M.

    I LOVE Robert's Del Taco up the street for FRESH and Value. However i will drive miles for good Ceviche. So I will try theirs tonight!

    EXCELLENT! Went back for the Baja ceviche. It was the best! A must try. Packed full of shrimp and flavor

    Order a battered fish and shrimp tacos. The breading was bland. The fish and shrimp tasted stale and the tortillas were cold.

It's always toasted perfectly and so good to dip in the consume. The Ramen's stellar, the Birria Nachos are great, the salsa has a ton of flavor. They have a newer chili oil salsa which is outstanding, the regular has a little kick. The chili oil is legit spicy. The consume has so much flavor and isn't too salty. I started getting a side of chips - which they make fresh to order. And I dip them in the remaining consume. While there are other good local birria spots, this is at the top. And, is the only one I've ever seen a Birria Sandwich. Which might be my favorite item to get anywhere. Everything's made fresh and the prices are good. I get a Birria sandwich with fries, a side of consume and a bottle of Pacifico for like $21. The owner also super nice, every time I go I feel welcomed. I like supporting small local businesses, especially ones where the food's this amazing. And one thing that really stands out, I've eaten here probably 25 times. It's always incredible, I've never had even a so so meal here. With the exception of In N Out, I can't name many spots that I know will be delicious every time. The consistency's 100%. This is one of maybe 5 places I can recommend to anyone with complete confidence

FOOD Tacos: We tried the al pastor, steak, and beer-battered fish tacos--all were solid. Not too salty or tough, and the fried fish tacos were nicely crispy. Torta: Very filling with a soft, buttery bun. I was a bit disappointed that avocado isn't included by default, since I'm used to tortas coming with it. Burrito: Extremely filling. Maybe just a little too much rice, but still delicious with a perfectly grilled tortilla. Drinks: Tons of fresh and delicious drink options. SERVICE This may explain the lower overall rating. Ordering can be a bit confusing at first, and the initial server wasn't very friendly or responsive. However, the cashier was super friendly and helpful--organizing our takeout order neatly and loading us up with sauces and toppings. Overall, not a huge issue. OVERALL I'm honestly surprised by the low rating. The menu is large and tasty, and I'd definitely come back again in the future.

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!
