First off, I have to preface this review with the fact that the actual thread work itself is IMPECCABLE. I came to get some jeans (25" waist) altered a couple sizes bigger (27"). I brought some leftover black jean fabric for them to use in the process. The seams were flawless and look like they came straight from the factory. However, I could not overlook the very obvious issue with the pants the first time I went to go pick them up..... If you'll refer to the first photo, you can see that no one could wear these pants out without being made mercilessly teased. They fit perfectly, but looks-wise, they'd be a laughingstock. Brought them back that same day and told the owner of my plight. I even showed him the photo of me wearing them. To my genuine surprise, he didn't really see any issue? He seemed almost agitated that I suggested he alter it from the sides, as you usually do when making pants bigger. He said it was "going to be much more work." But he went ahead and undid the hip adjustment anyways, the result of which is seen in the 2nd photo. I don't mind the small square as it is a lot more inconspicuous, but this whole experience was just a tad tiresome (and funny, at times). Paid $25, whereas I'd received quotes starting at $14 elsewhere. I just went here because of how close it was. Otherwise, the shop itself is very neat and nice, with very pleasant front desk workers. read more

I took a couple things to get fixed. They came out amazing. Except for a skirt now it doesn't fit at all and I took it cuz it was too big.. other than that the other 2 pants are exactly how I expected them. read more

This tailor is the best! I bring absolutely everything here from pants I need hemmed, skirts that need mended, to my wedding dress that needed a bustle. Elizabeth is such a sweetheart and has always taken care of all my tailor needs. Their pricing is very reasonable and turn around time is great. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Cruz is not only reliable and professional but he is also amazing with garments. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else with my daughter's sweet 16 ball gown. The dress was too big and he took it in without changing any of the original design. He even added details that the original dress lacked. read more

I've never had to take any clothes for alterations in the past so I had no idea what to expect. When coming to Cruz Custom Tailors, I was able to get in immediately, have my clothes measured for adjustments and returned exactly how I needed them within a few days. It was super easy and the quality was great. read more

I love Mr. Cruz so much! I love the work this place does but especially Mr. Cruz. He just knows how clothes should fit on a woman's body. He is a master at his work. I take all my tailoring to him. I love my women's Brooks Brothers suits ONCE they've been tailored to perfection by Mr. Cruz! read more

I received excellent service and tailoring at a good price every time I visit Cruz Tailors. They are quick to turn around small jobs - like tailoring a hem, patching a hole in a leather jacket, or adjusting a dress. And there was incredible sense of detail and care put into my wedding dress and my husband's suit for our wedding! Tailoring is usually finished a few days to 1 week, but he's mindful of deadlines, if you communicate needing your order by a certain date. I highly recommend Cruz tailor. Bring anything and you'll leave feeling 100 with your stunningly tailored clothes. Tip: Be ready to try your clothes on at the store so they can mark measurements on the spot, both on drop off and pick up. read more

Wonderful service! They were friendly and fast, will be going here for all of my tailoring!

I came here based on it being a small local business to my home just right in the heart of DTR and the awesome reviews. I had just brought a beautiful formal dress that was too long and asked to get hemmed. This is Wednesday evening and I needed it by Friday for a Christmas party on Saturday. I'm giving 5 stars because the business is ran by someone who truly cares about people and his work. There was an issue upon picking up the dress (which by the way they ended having it for THE NEXT DAY!) I was thrilled, but the way the business owner and his employee (a very polite woman) handled it I couldn't be more happy and thankful. I definitely recommend it, it's worth it and I will also be referring everyone I know here. Store is in very nice and clean condition and the service is very warming. You will be happy with your tailors here! read more

Cruz is FANTASTIC -- I've had shirts and pants altered, and they did a brilliant job on my vest (attaching metal music patches!)... I love this place!! read more

I had such a great experience! They took me straight in to get my jeans tailored, had me measured and out of there within 15 minutes, and I got my jeans back the same week. Such quick service with very sweet and careful employees. When I got my jeans back, I was looking to see if the new seam was noticeable, and it almost looked like they were the same as when I dropped them off. However, when I tried them on, they fit PERFECTLY. That just goes to show how meticulous they are with their craft. I have already recommended this tailor to friends and will most certainly be back for all my tailoring needs. read more

I needed a pirate costume (coat and pants) made for Halloween this year. I purchased fabric and a pattern and gave it to Cruz the beginning of September. He had everything finished by the first week of October and it turned out perfect. The coat and pants fit nicely and it looks professionally done. Movie-Grade material. Thank you so much!! read more

If you're looking for a craftsman who excels at his artistry then look no further. Cruz took my two wedding dresses, bridesmaids dresses AND mother of the bride dresses and made them fit like a glove. His expertise extends beyond the needle and thread. He understands how a garment moves on the body for the occassion and the wearer. He and his staff are friendly, helpful and professional. If you are concerned about the price don't be. The peace of mind and quality of his work are worth it! On a personal note, I've only pictured my firt dress below as all of my pictures have not come back yet. But I was very happy with that dress as well. Gracias Cruz Custom Tailors por todo! read more

I've been a client for years. Amazing tailor. Always friendly. Great work. High quality.

Amazing and fast service. Very professional and friendly. Highly recommend! I was told my dress would be ready in a week but received a call two days later letting me know it was ready! Super fast service. The back of my dress had a open back but I did not like it and Mr. Cruz altered it and it looks amazing. Also, cut my dress to my height and covered the front of my chest area to cover my cleavage. Mr. Cruz has found a new customer for life! read more

Had about 20+ clothes altered by this shop! Great customer service, they've always been on time, and the value's just right.

Thought I'd give this place a try for alterations it was very pricey but all together I have never used a tailor so I wasn't aware of pricing. I was offered dry cleaning and press for my coat and was charged 17$ for it but, when I got home and saw that my coat wasn't even touched after being altered it was very upsetting. I called and as soon as I told him about it he argues back with "that's all they could do." Instead of giving me an option of a refund or a credit or anything a sorry at least ? read more

I came here and was a bit hesitant that it wouldnt be done on time or the way i wanted it. Miguel EXCEEDED my expectations. He altered my wedding dress, which had a lace lined bottom, and I am only 5foot, so a lot had to come off. He took it in to conform to my body, and also put on buttons to perfect my bustle. He did such an amazing job, i was so impressed and he got it done timely and on the day he said he would have it done by. Very communicative and listened to all my wants/needs. Bless this man and his family, I definitely recommended this shop. 10/10. Thank you Cruz Tailors!!! my wedding and dress was amazing! read more

Can I just say how amazing of a job they did on my wedding dress! They brought the dress in from my hips, shortened it down, and added drop down sleeves! Not only did the fix it last minute ( three days before the wedding) they did not charge me extra for their pain and suffering. This place saved my wedding and my eternal wedding photos! I recommend this place 100% without a doubt. Amazing!!!! Just look at the pictures to see the results. read more

AMAZING experience from start to finish! I had my wedding dress since 2020 and with how many times my wedding was canceled due to Covid I was worried my dress would eventually not fit. Sure enough I had my first fitting a few weeks ago and the dress fit but was EXTREMELY TIGHT lol. Cruz custom tailors worked their magic and at my second fitting the dress zipped right up! I can't even tell where fabric was added that's how flawless the dress looks! I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back for future alterations. read more

This is where I take all my uniforms and personal clothing. They are truly the best! I'm always amazed how they make my cheaply made uniform look amazing on me. read more

Cruz is the best. He's my go to for all my needs. I've brought him about 8 pair of True Religion jeans that he tapers so they fit perfectly. He also will taper my dress shirts and make any adjustments to sleeves on my shirts or jackets. I will also bring my older jeans and have him make them into shorts. It's so easy to shop now knowing that I can get anything and have it tailored perfectly to fit my athletic cut. read more

They were very friendly, and very accommodating to my circumstances! they took their time consulting with me, and I'm very excited to see what their work looks like. read more

This is the best tailor in the area. Miguel cares personally about your experience and wants you to be happy with the end result. I haven't found anyone else like him and would trust another with my tailoring. He is the best of the best. Recommend to anyone and everyone. His prices are reasonable, he is timely in completion of assignments, has the highest level of attention to detail, and just over the top excellent. Go to Miguel - you won't be disappointed! read more

The owner is friendly and attentive. They have always performed my alterations with great quality.

Took new jeans in for hemming. Unfortunately whoever worked on my jeans does not know how to iron them as a crease line from the ironing appeared on the outside. Made no sense to return as these sort of things are irreparable. At least they got the length right. Gonna end up donating these jeans due to their mistake. Not a good experience. read more

Mr.Cruz did an amazing job fixing my skirt. I had a lot of concern about how well he could fix it because of all the problems it had, but he did an amazing job! It only cost me $25 and he was done within a week and a half. I had messaged him on Yelp the day I received the package. He replied within 35 minutes and had asked me to come into the store. We did a fitting to make sure he knew what I exactly wanted. Overall, I am very satisfied with the service that I received. Thank you!!! read more

This is a very welcoming place and the staff is informative. I've been going here since 2016 I believe. Crus is definitely my go to and he is very understanding of what you want. Also, makes you feel comfortable while giving suggestions. His work and service is amazing. read more

BEST tailor in Riverside. The only place I will go back to to get my clothes fixed. They are always so quick and have reasonably cheap prices! The service is always so great; my experience are always positive. I've recommended this place to many friends and will continue to do so. read more

Appreciate the tremendous attention to detail that went into tailoring my wedding tux to my exact specifications.

Excellent tailor who makes high quality alterations quickly without charging an arm and a leg! I went to Cruz with a military uniform that I had mysteriously outgrown in the mid-section ‍ (I blame every restaurant I have given 4 or 5 stars in Yelp). He quickly identified changes that had to make, and even spotted some things that I had missed. He made the changes perfectly in a couple of days and I attended an important event without bursting any buttons. I'd also add that the main tailor as well as the woman I picked up from (possibly his daughter?) were very pleasant and professional. Definitely my new go-to tailor in Riverside. read more

I have taken four suits here and I love the job that they did. I am slim and I buy my suits online. I am able to shop more confidently because I know this tailor will get my suit taken in just right to fit my body the way I like it. I also had a custom shirt made here. He educated me about different materials and time of the years for certain materials. We went though a lot of different patterns, collar type around the neck, sleeve types around the wrist, and he made this shirt to fit my upper body perfect! It is by far my favorite shirt in my closet. I do not plan on buying another shirt off the rack. I will buy my suits and then take them here to get taken in. I will have all of my shirts made. read more

Dropped off 11 scrubs for alterations on a Saturday and scheduled to pick up the next Friday. They were ready Tuesday instead - 3 days early! How often do you get stuff earlier than promised? Also - looked at the suits and tried on a suit coat. I'll probably buy 1 (or 2) in the next couple of months. read more

I had such a great experience with Cruz Custom Tailors! I had a skirt and a pair of pants hemmed. Miguel (I think that was his name) asked me if I planned to wear them with heals or flats, and chose a where to hem my pants accordingly. The skirt was a floor length skirt, and I wanted to make it tea length instead, changing the style to be more casual. There was a lot of fabric and a lining to see as well!!! I had been quoted $50 for just the skirt from someone else, and I paid less than that for both items! They even gave me the off cut of fabric so I can make something with it. I buy a lot of thrifted and pre-loved items that benefit from tailoring, and I will definitely use Cruz Custom Tailors again! read more
