    Fajitas Mix and Chile Relleno & Enchiladas Combo

    I LOVE CASA MOTA!! Everything is so yummy and delicious. The service is amazing. Everything always comes out so quick and fresh. Highly recommend

    Sopa de albóndigas
    DC Critics ..

    Casa Mota has an authentic taste of what real Mexican food should be , we order the albóndigas soup and the pozole and I will say the taste took me back to my childhood when my mother used to to make it. The service was on point and as a Mexican restaurant they surely start you off with the chips and salsa. Drinks are your Jamaica and ice tea and more , the parking on weekdays is very open but weekends may be a little tight but it's worth the wait ! Be on the lookout for more DC critics !! 4.5 Stars : I will be back !

    Enchilada combo
    Mario F.

    I came here for lunch one day based off a friends recommendation of their Menudo. My fiance is a Menudo expert and loved their Menudo with a side of pata. I tried it and it had great flavor with the perfect amount of spice. I had ordered the enchiladas and they were delicious as well. Their micheladas are on point and everything was reasonably priced. Their service was great and our waitress always checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed including refills. It's clean inside with TV's playing different channels. I highly recommend them and am looking forward to going back to try more food! Keep up the great work!

    I always come here for the carnitas and enchiladas. Their food is always yummy and the service is amazing, the food always comes out super fast and fresh. Good local spot for breakfast and dinner

    Michelada!

    Food is delicious I recommend the wet combo burrito with red sauce or pozole or anything there honestly, staff are friendly specially Maggie and micheladas are the cherry on top!

    Caldo de Res with a side of Chile de aceite ! So good
    Zuly H.

    The food here is so good. My favorite is there. Caldo de Res. The broth is delicious, there is lots of meat. I get the chile de aceite on the side and it adds great flavor . 5/5. Fast service and friendly staff.

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.
