If you are hunting for the absolute best quality Mexican food right on the border of Corona and Riverside, look no further than Green Taco. Let's be real for a second: yes, this place has gotten more expensive lately, and you're going to notice the price bump on your receipt. But in a landscape full of watered-down, bland local options, Green Taco remains the undisputed heavyweight champ because the quality genuinely justifies the cost. You get exactly what you pay for here: fresh, authentic, scratch-made food that hits the spot every single time. It is easily a top-tier hidden gem in the Inland Empire (IE) food scene. What to Order (The Menu Highlights) Whether you are hitting them up right when they open at 7:00 AM or dropping in for lunch, here is what you need to get: The Legendary Breakfast Burritos: Packed, perfectly wrapped, and completely devoid of unnecessary filler. These are elite-level breakfast burritos that set the standard for the entire Riverside area. The El Gordo Burrito: A massive, heavyweight burrito that can easily cover two meals. It's packed with flavor and incredibly satisfying. The Chicken Chipotle Burrito: A sleeper hit on the menu. The smoky, creamy heat from the chipotle sauce paired with their perfectly seasoned chicken is a masterclass in flavor. The Vibrant Salsas: Do not skip the salsa bar. Both their signature green and red salsas pack a pristine, authentic punch. They are fresh, vibrant, and elevate everything from their crispy tacos to their loaded burrito bowls. Location & Vibe Conveniently located right off the 91 freeway corridor (near Pierce and Magnolia), it's the perfect pit stop whether you live in Corona or are just commuting through Riverside. The restaurant is consistently clean, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the turnaround time is always efficient. Final Verdict: Is it worth the price? 10/5 Stars. In a world where fast food costs almost the same as a sit-down meal, spending a couple of extra dollars for actual premium ingredients, scratch-made recipes, and elite flavor profiles is a no-brainer. If you're looking for the ultimate breakfast burrito or the best street tacos in the Corona-Riverside area, stop scrolling Yelp and just head straight to Green Taco. read more

This was my first time here, and the place made a good first impression. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside was clean and there were plenty of seating options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The lady up front was really nice and seemed knowledgeable about the menu, which made ordering easier, especially for a first visit. I ordered the shrimp burrito, and while it wasn't bad, it was a bit underwhelming for me. For about $18 with tax, I think I was expecting something closer to a surf-and-turf style burrito or at least something that felt a little more loaded. Overall, the place itself was nice, but the burrito didn't fully match what I expected for the price. read more

Lengua burrito with everything in it ($14.99): 3/5. It's not a large burrito, but about three-quarters of it filled me up for breakfast because of the rice and beans. The tortilla was soft and thin, which I appreciated. Lengua was delicate yet underseasoned, almost to the point of getting lost in each bite amongst the rice, beans, and cheese. The optional green and red salsas saved this bland burrito, so I recommend getting both salsas with whatever you get just in case. Service: 5/5. Knowledgeable staff. The girl who helped us at the register was friendly and down-to-earth. Food didn't take too long to come out, but it wasn't suspiciously fast, either. Our burritos arrived neatly wrapped and piping hot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere: 4/5. Very casual, no-frills place. Inside tables and bathroom were clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Extremely loud music was blasting from the fitness studio next door, but it wasn't super annoying since we were just gonna eat and go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is free and aplenty in the plaza. read more

All I have to say is wow! My burrito was so well put together. The ingredients were so fresh and tasty. I decided to try something different, which was their tongue burrito with cilantro, beans, cheese, rice, and pico de gallo. If you're out and about in Riverside, and in need of solid Mexican food, this is your place! read more

Food was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cashier was nice. Plates came out quick. Coming from Santa Ana home of some of the best tacos and salsa its been very hard to compare. I try to always go back a second time because sometimes,it might just be what I ordered. Friendliness & cleanliness & customer service was a 9! Food and flavors I would give a 7.

Stopped by Green Taco and tried a few things, the Breakfast Burrito with asada, a regular Asada burrito, and the Shrimp Nachos. The food was actually really good. The asada had great flavor, the breakfast burrito was super satisfying, and the shrimp nachos were loaded and definitely worth ordering again. Service was friendly and quick. Everyone behind the counter was welcoming and the food came out fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only downside is the location. It's a little sketchy outside, and I found myself keeping an eye on my car because of a couple of tweakers hanging around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nothing happened, but it definitely made me more aware of my surroundings. Overall, great food and great service, just be mindful of the area when you go. read more

Steak feels like a good baseline on how to judge a Mexican restaurant. I don't think I will be back. Friendly staff and my food came out quick. The steak needed seasoning and it and dry. It was decent when you put the entire plate into a tortilla, but the steak on its own needs help. Pretty good horchata. Go and add a splash of French vanilla creamer. The sides of rice and beans are okay. Nothing to write about. Guacamole and pico are good enough where they add a bit of freshness; this also includes the lettuce. Music in the background, place is pretty clean. The only reason why I came here I was the guy from Tik Tok who reviewed this spot. Good luck and positive vibes to this restaurant! read more

Been going here for years. Clean, yummy mexican food, that is not too greasy. You get a good home cooked meal with what seems to be abuelitas recipes. It's a family run business. I find the family super humble, diligent and kind. Their food is reliably tastey and filling. My kids are picky eaters, but all 3 love the food here, especially the beans, chilaquiles and pozole! I would eat here daily if I could afford it lol! read more

Came in after seeing the online reviews, just looking for a few street tacos. 3-4 maybe. When I saw their street tacos were $5.25 EACH. I thought that was wild! I didn't even want to try them any more and had to leave. There's no reason for a single street taco to be over $5. Smh read more

I was craving a breakfast burrito, rare, but when I do, it has to be good. And this place did not disappoint! Three meats... Eggs... Potato... Cheese... And all evenly distributed throughout the burrito - not half potato and weak on the meat. The Green Taco came through! Perfectly balanced burrito, and big time! Every bite had a little bit of meat little egg potato and cheese. Excellent flavor. OK, OK, you might say it's just a breakfast burrito. But this was delicious. We chose two different salsa, one green one red and I'm all for alternating between the red and the green between bites,. Give it a try and let me know which one you like better! Maybe next time we'll go back for the larger burrito with the three meats ! Yes, there is a larger breakfast burrito! read more

I came to green taco for breakfast. I ended up getting a Menudo with Pata,which was great. Staff was awesome. I will be coming back.

I went here because they say it was a hidden gem on TikTok said they had giant burritos and this place was really good. Unfortunately, the burritos were average size. Maybe even on the smaller side. Paid $31 for one burrito and a couple of street tacos. Definitely not worth it. Disappointed, the taste was really good but for the price and the portion size could've got a much bigger burrito from chipotle or something, and probably save money. This is also one of those burritos where it's 85% beans and rice 15% meat. The staff was really good no complaints. They get offered me a lot of hot sauce, but besides that I won't be coming back. read more

A buddy recommended the fish tacos and they did not disappoint.

Green Taco - Fried Fish Taco, & Carne Asada Torta - Mexican Near Me - Riverside, California

Another spot that pays for social media hype. The food is mid at best. Got a few things to try. Birria en caldo had like 3 pieces of beef in it, rest was all broth, no real flavor. Tortillas that came with it are Guerrero ones, at that price point other spots are giving hand made or at least not corporate produced ones. Quasabiria taco was ok, but no crunch to it. Chilaquiles ordered were red ones, they were ok. This place is hype and the prices they charge I expected much more, but I guess you have to pay social media somehow. read more

Green Taco always satisfies with their Mexican food. Love that they make handmade tortillas. I decided to try their quesabirria tacos and what a difference a handmade tortilla makes in a taco. It was very flavorful with the consome. It doesn't come with it, so had to purchase a side order of it. My daughter also got them and loved them. My husband had the two taco plate with rice and beans and ate everything up. He also enjoyed that they use handmade tortillas. My son had an al pastor burrito and said it was good. You can't go wrong with this place. Great food and great customer service everytime we stop by. read more

Today my husband and I went to go eat at Green Taco we were so excited to go and try their food it's exploding all over my fyp page on Tik Tok [[HIGHLIGHT]]We get there the place was clean the people that work that were very nice there were a few customers they look promising but don't always believe what you see on social media[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the Gordo Breakfast Burrito and a side of rice and beans 16 oz ea. (2) green salsa (2) red salsa and some ‍'s {that they didn't give us} It took a while for us to get our food but of course we waited patiently The was deceiving it says that it feeds 2-3 people easily absolutely NOT it would have fed my husband comfortably by his self " it will not feed 2-3 people not at all they need to change the name to Flaco Breakfast Burrito because it was long and very skinny it hardly had anything inside it had ok flavor really (mind you we haven't ate anything all day so we had to eat it we were hungry) that's why we didn't return our food we will never ever go back too expensive for the quantity/quality that they're selling I guess you got to be a Tik Tok Influencer and let them know that you're reviewing their food for them to make it look the way it does on social media Instagram Facebook etc... they need to keep the same energy/service the same for every ALL customer ESPECIALLY WITH THOSE PRICES {It's not about how much we paid we have the money I'll pay top dollar for a great experience and great quality/quantity for food anywhere anytime} Gordo Breakfast Burrito 3/10 Rice and Beans 7/10 Salsa's 7/10 I guess I'll just stick to {Tuxie's in Riverside 6030 Magnolia Ave, Ste 3, Riverside, CA 92506} across the street from Magnolia Center Ralphs Market they have a really good Mexican Food Stand or {El Torito Meat Market & Tacos 10851 Limonite Ave, Mira Loma, CA 91752} They have massive BURRITOs BTW all there food is great we were just trying to give another establishment a try but I guess I'll stick to what I know and what's best for me and my family This is just my honest opinion everybody's experience is different go try them out for yourself or try out one of the other recommendations I put in this review this is just my review and my honest opinion everybody's entitled to their own THX read more

I really enjoyed it. My daughter gets breakfast burritos from here all the time and I hadn't found one yet that I liked. Happy to say that now I have! :) read more

Not worth the money. Ordered multiple items. The chicken enchilada meal with rice and beans were bland and had zero seasoning. Beans were incredibly watery and inedible. Chicken enchiladas were edible but not very appetizing with no seasoning. The carne asada nachos had the same beans on them and it completely saturated the tortilla chips making the dish inedible. The asada was okay tasting but again there was no seasoning. My son got breakfast burrito that was okay but had zero taste. On the upside, the young lady behind the counter was nice. Save your money, Taco Bell would be a better option. read more

Got food poisoning same day I ate for the first time at this place. Worst 48 hrs. ever. Had the machaca and egg plate. It was weird the eggs looked griddy and almost zero machaca so I was already disappointed by that point. Since its 16.99 for the plate. But my surprize came later. My lady had the chilaquilles plate hers was great. But her eggs did not look like mine. Service was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place looked clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've been here 3 times. & each time the food has been exceptionally good. I had the chilaquiles twice & the carne asada plate once & it was great. The cashier is also very kind as well. Service is great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean restaurant too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Green Taco - Carne Asada (Steak) Plate - Mexican Near Me - Riverside, California

I asked for asada nachos and the guy told me they don't have nachos even though I seen it on instagram. It's sad the guy lied to me

Came here to check it out after the TikTok recommendation. I bought a Carne asada burrito and red Chilaquiles. Overall, it was ok but not that good. The burrito was medium sized but it had more rice and beans than meat. It was expensive for it to not have good amount of meat. The chilaquiles were ok and the red is spicy compared to others. But again, it was super expensive just for basic chilaquiles and if you wanted to add egg and/or meat it would more double extra for each. The salsas didn't seem fresh and weren't good. Customer service was alright. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside was ok and they had plenty seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's not worth all the money unfortunately. read more

Food and service were both okay, but I waited for 30+ mins to get my food. I ordered one burrito and two tacos only!! Very disappointed and will not come back again. read more

Another hype! Ordered 3 breakfast burritos: 2 bacon egg and cheese and one machaca which came out to $45 dollars! Definitely not worth the price. They were smaller than other breakfast burritos I've had! They lack flavor, unless you enjoy globs of cheese, and salsas were watered down. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of parking, clean establishment, but could up their food game.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hopefully they make changes soon. read more

Excellent breakfast burritos! Very clean and not greasy and good ratio of everything inside. Definitely recommend !

I really enjoy their breakfast burritos, my favorite is the bacon,egg , potatoe, & cheese, it's simple but filling. Their green sauce is ok , not that spicy though. Their asada fries is good as well &. Their birria is pretty on point. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall it's a small space but their service is quick & the staff is friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more
