    Cheese enchilada and refried beans. Everything presented beautifully.

    Best Mexican food in Lake Elsinore. On Main across from the Cultural Center. Jose (the owner) always greets us warmly and remembers our preferences. You will love the food.

    My birria tacos are amazing I love this place

    I highly recommend trying to Bierria tacos. This place is amazing. All of their food is good. I also love the California burrito. The people that work here are amazing and always extra nice.

    I got menudo (had a long night lol) and it was very flavorful. I did get a lot of juice and barely any food however once I called and explained it to her she fixed the issue right away. I thought I was going to just get a bowl of hominy but instead I ended up with a whole other cup of menudo. I definitely appreciated that effort! I would go here again and again and recommend the menudo to anyone local for sure especially since it's available everyday and not just weekends like most places.

    Love this family owned restaurant. I always go for the breakfast (huevos rancheros and menudo) but after looking at the lunch menu I'll be coming back to try that out as well. Classic and fun downtown location. I definitely recommend.

    The food was delicious. The king crab and snow crab was…read moreamazing. The flavor of the sauce was so good. I also really loved the corn so flavorful. Definitely will come back. Our server was super friendly also.

    Early on in her life Toby had a traumatic incident involving her hands and has been phobic about…read moreanything untoward getting on them while she could avoid it. This includes food. Because of this I've never been able to share the gloriousness that is a full seafood boil, especially a good one like Pier 88. The headless peel n' eat shrimp and crawfish, the true backbone of any decent boil, were plump and delicious. I felt kind of giddy every time I would finish one and saw how many were left. The lobster tail was a good change-of-pace and the king crab legs, admittedly not my favorite item, still managed to satisfy. I also like how they threw in so much potatoes and sausage into the mix. It was definitely super generous at what other places consider an afterthought. I thought the service was alright. They seemed to have forgotten one of my party's margaritas but that could have been more a slow bartender than an inept server. I also never got a prompt to refill my soda, which is a little more concerning. The ambiance was pretty good. There were plenty of tables and booths, and everything was spaced appropriately. You definitely don't feel like you're on top of the tables around you. They also had plenty of TV's as the World Cup was easy to watch along with. I could be happy here any time I get the craving for some shrimp and crawfish. And as long as the servers were more diligent about refills. One time I'll figure out how to get Miss Scotch herself to one of these things, dirty hands be damned. I'd say getting your hands in the muck and mire of delicious foods is half the fun. And with places like Pier 88 out there, you could be having a fun time and a full belly every day of the week.
