Fried Mozzarella
Britney M.

So-so this time. We really we not impressed with the food. Our service was great. I want to include that our waitress was pretty awesome. The food itself took away from the experience. I ordered salmon but it was really lackluster. The salmon fillet was tiny and didn't have much flavor. I scarfed my plate so fast because the portions were just small. Not worth the price at all. I hate that they charge for the chips and salsa now. It's used to be free and it still should be free lol The mozzarella sticks are the real showstopper here. They were gooey and delicious! Love the mozzarella sticks. However, that's not enough for me to comeback. I need something other than cheese sticks lol Ambiance was busy but not crazy crowded. We walked in and were seated right away. My husband and two friends ordered the ribs and said they weren't that good. That's disappointing.

Happy hour

Special Marg of the month
Steve W.

Came here for a late lunch on a rainy day. Perfect set up for comfort food right?? We ordered the 3 for me combos. We both got burgers, with fries on one, broccoli on the other. Fries were stale, so they rushed out another order. Well done! Our server Mariah was very pleasant, and spot on in bringing refills and taking care of our order. The music selection was '70's based with a mix of current stuff, so everyone is happy they hear a song they know. This spot should be getting 4'sto 5's. Not sure why it doesn't, but as of Feb 2026...good to go

Full rack of baby back ribs
Robert B.

The Santa Fe Chicken Salad tasted of very fresh ingredients. The rack of baby back ribs is a Chili's classic and still as delicious as ever. Service was great even with a bit of a crowd on a Monday night. First visit to a Chili's in several years and nice to know food is still great.

My five stars is not all about the food. The food here at this Chili's was OK. My chicken sandwich was OK not the best really but my server chase that guy was the man he took care of us like no other. I got nothing but great things to say about that guy and I will come back here and eat subpar food just because he's an awesome server and took such good care of us. Thank you Chase for the great service and happy holidays to you, brother

Fajitas with chicken, shrimp, and steak.
Michael B.

Excellent service, very attentive. Had the fajitas with chicken/steak/shrimp which were excellent. I'd skip the shrimp next time though, they were underwhelming in size and more importantly lacking flavor IMO...I wish they would do some blackened seasoning on the shrimp.

Best Ribeye in town.
John F.

Walked in without a greeter or any greeting. Sat at bar and waited 3 minutes until Bartender turned around to acknowledge me. She did after getting some drinks for the restaurant. After she took my drink order, served it and then out my order in. Took only 15 min for my Ribeye. As always, Amazing. My go to for a Ribeye steak. The atmosphere is not like it used to be. Seems quiet. No manager presence in the Restaurant either. Prior visits, managers were always on the floor helping the staff and checking on tables. Tough times. I hope they stay open.

It's been a while since I've been to Chili's and thus far I've actually missed it. Lots of changes especially the chicken crispers, they're no longer fried in tempura batter which was disappointing but I ordered the trio fajitas instead and I was not disappointed. The flavor was there and it came out sizzlin and that was the best part. Our waiter was awesome. He refilled our drinks without being asked which is a super plus and his tip showed it. Chili's has always felt a live vibe and can be noisy at times especially when the game is on but other than that it was jam packed when we went. Chilis is a definite destination spot when we're in the mood for something a little different.

As always the food and drinks are amazing but today there was a small incident in which the manager Tiana went above and beyond and provided a great customer experience for myself and family. Nothing was expected but she still went out of her way to accommodate. I can't express enough how grateful we are. THANK YOU TIANA we will be back!

Steak, mashed potatoes with mushrooms on the side, Y U M

Brandon our server, was On top of the service! Look at the amazing food as well. We will definitely be back!!

El Jimador Margarita Of The Month

We came in to try the new August Margarita Of The Month. When we saw it was made with El Jimador, we couldn't have been happier. Although it might look sweet, this "Shark Attack Marg" was incredibly balanced and packed a big punch. Caitlin was serving us at the bar. Service was incredible and she single handedly helped us kick off our weekend in the best way. Thank you Caitlin, we will be back because of you... and the margarita too of course.

Second time in the last two months I've came to this franchise and was overcharged/ order put in incorrectly. If I was not looking today I would have been overcharged by $12. Come here rarely but seriously 2 out of my last two visits grossly overcharged. Make sure you look at your tap, the worst was they put my appetizer, a tiny cup of soup as an $8 charge. I get that your busy I was polite I was respectful and they quickly fixed it but the one thing you don't mess up is my money. Your profit my loss. How much money is this place quietly making overcharging their customers. I'm not going to call weights and measures but it's probably the last time I come to Elsinore Chili's. Fool me once... So instead of paying $45 I'm paying $26. Math not mathing here! Morale of the story, don't get ripped off by an understaffed restaurant! Businesses are paying more for workers, and to increase their bottom line and they lower staff and we get poor customer service. 100% blame the business.

Ancho's is one of those places I honestly don't know if it's considered a hidden gem or not, but…read moreafter living in Riverside for the past 3-4 years, I can't believe I've never been here until now. 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.

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.

I loaded that on the tacos with hot sauce & it was ‍ ! The service here was really great from start to finish from recommendations, getting us more napkins, and refilling our hibiscus limeades to go. Super pleasant experience. The inside is very clean and comfortable.

My husband loved HomeState while I thought it was mid. Our views were so different that I'll…read morereturn based on how great he thought it was. We ordered a Tijuana panther, a picadillo taco, and a brisket taco. We added a side of their queso and a tortilla with butter. I love the big patio, booths inside, and service. It was pretty slow for not being very busy and what appeared to be overstuffed. The chips and queso were very good. The Tijuana panther taco was sopping wet and I could only finish half of it because it was so messy and hard to eat without asking for a fork and knife. My husband's picadillo taco is where it was at. It was tangy from the pickled jalapenos, meat was beautifully seasoned, and tortilla dry enough to hold. The brisket taco was overstuffed and messy as well. I appreciate packing them full, but when they're served rolled it makes a handheld food item completely inedible by hand. The employee working the register was delightful and I'd go back just for her.
