    I came by to see Flamingosis and stopped here for a drink. I was warmly greeted by the hostess who took my order for the patio seating and I was able to sit and enjoy right away! Prices were fair and the vibe was great way to enjoy my Saturday. There's are many fun drinks 10/10 would recommend stopping by for some drinks

    We have come here a couple times for drinks and I always have gotten the strawberry guava seltzer and I love it! It's a bit small inside but they have plenty of seating inside and outside. They also have a bar inside and there is a hostess stand right near the door and they are able to help with any questions and seating. Also everyone has always been kind and helpful. I want to come here and try the food one day because everything sounds good on the menu!

    It's okay if you're looking for a quick bite or drink but nothing more. Think of it as a lay over to where you want to go, a pit stop to your destination. Why? Well it's near a university, so it's supposed to be fairly affordable, but it's not. $7 or $8 per taco? Get real. Yes you read it correctly, that's for each taco. Sure they were good but it's hard to mess up a taco. The mixed drinks were good and dainty, small glasses, small portions but good. I tried one and it was served in a tall slim glass filled with ice from the bottom to the top. Let's talk about the food, they have appetizers and 2 main plates. I had a chicken chorizo sandwich. It was ground chicken and chorizo formed into a patty between two soft Chinese soft pancake buns type buns with onions and fingerling potatoes. "WHAT?" I know I know. I had to try it. I had to try it but removed the potatoes and ate them by themselves. My wife had tacos. Since it's next to a university, most of there customers were between 21 and 27. Other than another person sitting at the bar, they were only three people older than 40 at this place and that's including us. So if you're looking for a place to go out for dinner, this is not it even if you're a university student this is not the place for dinner if you're looking for a pitstop to grab a drink or a taco maybe this place. But if you're looking for Tacos, there's a taco stand right before this place that seems to be very popular.

    Old fashioned with the bar in the background.

    The ambiance is really cozy. It's an outdoor bar being a jacket if you're coming during the winter. The service is excellent! Mark is a stand up guy. Really friendly and made an excellent old fashioned. The food is a modern twist to Mexican food. The flavors are outstanding. I'm definitely coming here more often to drink and kick it with mark!

    Stopped in The Farm House Collective in Riverside and tried Bar Ni Modo without any prior knowledge. The perfect mix of great food, cocktails and vibes! The food is definitely artisanal without any pretense. The food and flavor stand up. The bar's drinks are the same, very good but unique. Staff was great ( Jason (?) ) really was informative and intensive. Will be back and the whole Farm House Collective needs to be explored.

    This is our favorite place at the Farmhouse Collective and our main reason for visiting so needless to say very sad about their closing. The food and service are great and it's the only place to get a real cocktail (which are all fantastic as well). Wishing the whole team the best on their next endeavor and hope to be able to support where ever they pick up next.

    When I tell my fellow Riv expats there's some nice new establishments back in the hood, they all look surprised. I get it. Look, I'll always have love for the OG RVSD establishments. That said, when you experience the panoply of offerings in LA, other U.S. cities, and other time zones, and find a location in your hometown that punches in the same weight class as some of these other zip codes, the joy is that much sweeter. Bar Ni Modo is bout the business and stands 10 toes down with these other foos. Cuisine: 5/5. As of my second experience, nothing disappoints. All of their salsas come correct! Quesadillas and carnitas are savory and flavorful. Beverages: 5/5. Mole Margarita. Say less. Plenty of sabor and bass to this one. Representing. Mezcal old fashioned and TQM are solid too. Service: 5/5. Yo, shout out to the servers! LA can learn a thing or two from y'all about hospitality and keeping it real. Respeto. Ambiance: 5/5. Playlist nothing but flames. Cumbia. Salsa Dura. Merengue. Corridos Tumbados, Corridos Bélicos. Dope interior style, plus the outdoor vibes at Farm House Collective. Say less. Buen provecho!

    Stopped by to grab a drink and chill out as we waited for the UCR Battle of the Bands to kick off. We sat at the bar (always one of my favorite places to sit to watch the bartender work their magic), seats were comfy. There is some seating inside as well as outdoors (covered and shady). The staff was great, very welcoming. They had a nice happy hour menu too. Beers were around $8 and my Jameson club soda (which was Topo Chico and my favorite) was $17. They were working on some new drinks for their menu so cannot wait to make it back up to Riverside to check them out and give them a try! For sure a great place to grab a drink, bite to eat and just relax and hangout with your friends.

    Finding a fly in a drink is bad enough, but what really disappointed us was the response. When we told our waitress, she shrugged it off by saying, "It's the time of year."

    New Bar at the Farmhouse Collective! Went here to meet up with some coworkers and it was great. $15 cocktails, that are delicious! We tried most of the cocktails and they were all unique but worked very well. All flavors were balanced. Hoping to come back soon to try the food. Service was great, the server was very accommodating. Ample indoor and outdoor seating. Located inside a shopping food mall so there's even seating outside of the actual bar.

    Came here last night with some friends and was surprised:) loved the drinks and it was nice that they offer mocktails . All our drinks were very tasty

    Bar Ni Modo has easily become one of my new favorite local bars. Their clarita's cafecito is one of my favorites & always tastes good. The foam is always perfect. Staff is also kind and attentive. My fiancé also really enjoys their old fashioned. We went recently on Halloween and they were giving out complimentary pan de muerto with every order. It was delicious, I also loved how they decorated for dia de los muertos. Honestly just a gem of a spot & they always have some kind of event going on. A perfect place to grab a drink with friends or grab a small bite and hangout. :)

    Chilaquiles and breakfast burrito.

    Got there just before noon on a Tuesday and had our choice of tables. We ordered the breakfast burrito and an order of chilaquiles. Both were excellent and half the burrito is a great leftover. The burrito was huge! Staff was attentive, professional and personable. We sat outside and just as it was heating up, the misters came on and made it very pleasant. Looking forward to a return visit!

The tacos on the menu for the special was a carne asada taco, a shrimp taco, and a chicken taco. These tacos are on a rotating basis every week. The carne asada was more like shredded beef. Both that one and the chicken taco were good but nothing special. The shrimp one on the hand!!! Now that is one i'd write home about. it came with four shrimp pieces , and the taco shell was fried and perfectly crunchy. I would come back for that one any day! The service for us was interesting. Service was super nice but we weren't helped for a while. i think our seating placement might have been right in the middle of both the servers' territory so there might have been confusion on who was suppose to help us? We were literally in the very center of the half booths lol. Eventually the male server came by and apologied for the wait and was very very attentive to us for the remainder of the time:) alsooooo the taco at The State Redlands are slightly bigger than these so i beleive the Redlands ones are more filling.

Not sure if it's a Riverside thing but he right away asked for a card to start a drink order. Weird. The dates were teeny tiny - like I've never had such tiny dates. Drinks were ok and the place is beautiful but I won't be back bc I wasn't welcome.

It has a hot pink sign and has interior and exterior seating options. You can park in parking structures or side streets in order to walk towards this location. On a hot summer day, they were blasting the AC which was super appreciated! We came in to cool off and enjoy a beer, after reading their signs! Of course, we opted for a glazed donut, too. The guy at the front was nice and friendly! Super chill. We took out items and sat towards the side, under their large TV. He switched on the TV and ended up playing the World Cup game!! I had drank a nice and chilled Space Dust IPA from the tap and my partner had a Blue Moon. I was very delighted by their glazed donuts which were massive! For $6, it was bigger than our faces; I'm guessing x3 the size of a regular donut. I enjoyed it because it was sweet, doughy, and perfectly glazed. A twist of a donut shop, but for their variety of drinks, I don't mind it! Loved the experience. Thank you for having us!
