f you're in Riverside and craving authentic Mexican cuisine, look no further than ANCHOS SOUTHWEST…read more This local gem has become my go-to spot for a reason. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a warm atmosphere and a friendly vibe that makes you feel right at home. The highlight of my visits has to be the homemade tortillas--they're fresh, soft, and absolutely delicious. Paired with their shrimp, which are practically mini lobsters in flavor and texture, it's a dish that keeps me coming back for more. And let's talk about the margaritas. They pack a punch with amazing flavor that might just knock you off your feet! Each sip is a delightful blend that perfectly complements the bold tastes of the food. What truly sets ANCHOS apart is the owner, Dean. His humility and passion for serving the community make dining here a special experience. He takes the time to connect with customers, ensuring everyone feels valued and appreciated. ANCHOS SOUTHWEST is more than just a restaurant; it's a place where flavor meets warmth, and it's a must-visit for anyone in the Inland Empire. Highly recommend!

If I could rate separately for service I would give it a 5…read more This place is not lacking any help in the waiter and waitress department. We have not been here since the 90's and I have to say, it was much better back then. All in all, there is just no flavor. The salsa tasted like watery tomatoes, our waitress gave us a little side of habanero salsa to incorporate with it but that heat is the extreme for me. We ordered the Mesquite chicken and steak fajitas which were less than average. Not sure if it was just a bad day, but the taste of the protein did not match up to the wonderful smell of BBQ outside the restaurant. The tortillas were just ok, first batch was not even warm. My Michelada was good though. Bummer visit after being away for so long. Looks like the interior could stand a makeover.

The sun was shining on my face. I don't know who came over to our table to recommend a tequila for our flight. Dame Mas was a very good choice. My wife is more of a tequila drinker than I am. I did hog up the Dame Mas to myself. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere for a relaxing dinner. I recommend ordering the bacon-wrapped shrimp stuffed with crab meat; it's the best. We loved the food and the drinks. I also recommend the Black Widow, a very good drink to end our dinner date.

If the owner wants a patron's that likes Banda playing very loud and no socializing this place is for you. I did ask to lower the volume but that didn't last long. My family liked the salmon, taco dorados, chile relleno, and club sandwich. I ordered chicken sopes and I couldn't see them because they were downed by water crest lettuce. The flavor was bland and ate watery. My sister ordered tortilla soup and she didn't like it. There was no broth, and too many veges and cheese.

You can go get Mexican food from anywhere in So Cal but this spot is special. We ordered menudo, machaca burrito, and a chile relleno. I highly recommend everything. Also to mention they make their tortillas in the restaurant which is a huge plus. Everyone was so welcoming when it came to service as well. If you want good homemade authentic Mexican food, you need to run over here ASAP. Hands down best Mexican food in the IE!

The ambiance was everything - elegant yet fun; the staff was very professional. The food was truly the surprise because it was DELICIOUS! The birria tacos were so good, the mini elotes had me wishing for more! The "el jefe" plate was sooo good! It was more than enough for my husband and I. The carne asada was very juicy! My only qualm is that our waiter didn't check in on us more than once, but aside from water we didn't need much! I'll definitely be back!

My wife and I went here a while ago and we were not impressed…read more The restaurant was not busy, a lot of empty tables, and the service was still slow. We waited a while just to order drinks, never mind the food. It took a long while to order our food, long enough that we were looking around for our server. Once we were able to order our food, it arrived and we were both disappointed. Neither dinner tasted good and was bland. They were definitely not worth the price, and, again, our we had to look for our server. During all the waiting and searching both my wife and I suffered with the extremely loud music, and my wife is deaf (not a joke). The music was so loud it vibrated on the table and chair, which bothered my wife, and luckily we use ASL to communicate. The few other tables had to speak loud enough that I could hear their conversations. Bad food, slow service, and way too loud music, we won't be back.

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! After food we got to go on a photo spree and it was wonderful.

I do wish there was a vegan protein thrown in like black beans or soyrizo or something to make it more filling but I'm glad there was a vegan option on the menu. There is a salsa bar that can help add to your meal like spicy pickled carrots, cucumbers, salsa and pickled onions. My favorite part of this place is the art decor. They're all made from materials that were bound to go in the trash, most notably cans that they open for cooking. So you'll see lids and the other material from cans beautifully molded into these structures. It may seem random but I found lots of humor and play thrown into the craftsmanship of it all. Some pieces are like playing I Spy. It was funner to see than a lot of museums I've gone to actually. It's truly just packed with art. I even got to meet one of the artists as he was working on something. He was really friendly. There's a few of them who work on them together and I learned they've been doing this since the 90's! How cool. It's so nice to see all the things they've come up with to create. Go check it out! Definitely a date worthy spot too. My bf and I had a lot of fun walking around seeing what they created.
