    Here's the price posted

    So I ordered two burritos today and added the fresh new salsa and on the menu it currently saids for .79 cents and was charged almost $3 bucks which is half of the whole burrito price which I find ridiculous most places give you sauce or salsa for free with your purchase. And then for the cash register lady to say she's not going to honor the price is unacceptable. This place has really gone downhill. Don't waste your money! My burrito was even cold!

    Double Stacker

    For the 5 years that I have worked and commuted to Riverside/IE I have finally tried the infamous Baker's. I can see the love and hate behind it. Let's start off with the negative: the burger patties are severely under seasoned. I tasted all bun and tomato. Salt, pepper or even some seasoned salt would have altered the rating of this review. Second negative and it's more of an on the fence recommendation surrounding the chili. I would have preferred a more balanced, zesty and seasoned chili. This leads into the positives: the chili is very chili forward. It's not spicy but you can taste the chili powder for sure and I appreciate that. Some garlic and onion could make this a contender in the fast food chili game. The fries: fresh and hot out of the fryer. A lovely level of crispiness and salted generously. Went perfect with a side of ranch. Final positive: the presentation and freshness. Everything ordered was aesthetic, hot, fresh and I give kudos to the staff at Baker's for putting effort and pride into their product. Thank you Baker's.

    What's leftover from my dogs...

    Needed something fast , usually don't do fast food to often. Been to Bakers down by Cal Baptist a few times and always good. Went to the one in Woodcrest on a Sunday around 4pm. Drive thru and ordered a few beef tacos, ground beef burrito, fries drink. Tacos and burrito were absolutely horrible, the ground beef was dry over cooked and you can tell sitting for a long time, why you train your cooks to serve this? You can see before you put it in the tortillas or taco shell it's dry with char black pieces. Fries were decent and hot, coke was cold. Service was prompt and thorough at least, unless you take points off for the cook that actually made the food. I'm sure he's been trained not to throw it out. Literally, fed my 3 German shepherd's the tacos and burritos, I ate the fries and drank the coke... obviously, unless I'm getting my dogs food from here I cant justify coming back...

    Chicken taco? Where's the chicken
    Ron S.

    What happened to bakers? Quality is completely gone. I keep trying because it was so good before but man it's just never going to be the same. I spent 45 min in line for chicken tacos that look like lettuce tacos. Nothing looks like the picture. Burgers were so good and now I ordered a taco because the burger was so bad last time. Used to love the shredded beef and now that's gone. Well I guess Miguel Jr. shredded beef tacos and bean and cheese burritos will have to do going forward. Can't do Bakers anymore. Not for the price!

    Cheese Quesadilla

    This place keeps getting worse and worse. I used to love the cheese quesadillas. Now, they hardly have any cheese. This is a photo of how 2 of the 3 pieces looked on the inside after opening up the quesadilla. Such a rip off.

    Baker's you can do better than this. Plus I paid for a quesadilla and it was missing from my drive-through order.

    a view of the kitchen

    I had never visited a Baker's before... i'm not really from around here, and was just in the neighborhood for an event at the nearby MLK Jr. high school. I said out on foot, in search of food for a bunch of kids, and after picking up a box of donuts kitty corner to the intersection, I stumbled over here to see what giant bag of food I could bring back. The menu is sort of an eclectic mix of burgers & fries and fast food Mexican. I ordered a big bag of tacos and burritos, And a few orders of fries... Not nearly as cheap as the Del taco next door, but for whatever reason, the Del taco's dining room was closed, they only had a drive-through, and thanks to lawyers and insurance companies, you can't walk up to a drive-in window anymore in this country. But back to Baker's... The young lady that took my order was cordial enough, standing behind plexiglass. My food came out pretty quickly, and I started the slightly uphill walk back to the high school. Nothing particularly awesome or negative about the food, although a 10 minute walk in unseasonably warm November he did not do the hard shell tacos any favors. This is hardly the restaurants fault, but I'm not exactly sure these were five-star tacos to begin with. For a bunch of adolescents Who do not yet need to worry about the food they're putting into their systems, it was an acceptable lunch, liberally smothered in small packets of hot sauce, and washed down with soft drinks. The french fries were pretty soggy, but again... The ultimate recipients of them were not exactly connoisseurs, and no one complained. Truth be told, I would probably not collectively eat here again, but you never know the next time I will have five hours to kill in Riverside.

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.
