    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!

    Shrimp nachos
    Anna G.

    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. 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. 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.

    Bacon breakfasts burrito

    Great food, great service at a reasonable price. Everything looked so clean as well. The bacon breakfast burrito was really flavorful and not greasy at all.

    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!

    Breakfast Burrito
    Skyy _.

    Easily the best Breakfast Burrito I've ever had. - I got a three meat breakfast burrito w/ asada, chorizo, and bacon! Another stand out was the service and how amazing the staff was, given my first time here. Will definitely be back!!

    Mini-taco
    Jason F.

    This review is long overdue for one of my favorite small Mexican places in Riverside. The mini tacos are always good especially the pastor! Big menu with breakfast too, long hours and the wait time is minimal, family owned place I get my lunch at all the time! Shout out to Gabby and Reuben!

    Carne Asada (Steak) Burrito. (Too small)
    Aaron A.

    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.

    Menudo!
    Dora T.

    I was craving for Menudo soup and BAMB! I found this place open for breakfast! Plenty of parking at this plaza, it's basically order and paid and they will deliver your food if you are dine in! I also tried their fish tacos and it was delicious! The menudo was so delicious too! I couldn't finish the whole bowl. Will be back for their other dishes!

    Fried Fish Taco, & Carne Asada Torta
    Alex M.

    A buddy recommended the fish tacos and they did not disappoint. Fresh, & authentic 10/10 the carne asada torta was ok, pretty basic and more like ground beef instead of large pieces of asada with mayo and grilled bread 6/10. Staff are very friendly and family owned hole in the wall. Calm Atmosphere

    The Gordo! You won't be disappointed!

Our party kept growing throughout the meal as more family members joined, and the staff was incredibly accommodating and kind about adjusting our table each time. The brunch options were fantastic with both sweet and savory choices. My personal favorite was the omelet bar it was fresh, delicious, and made exactly how I wanted it. They also had great kid-friendly options like fries and mac and cheese, which made the little ones very happy. The service really stood out. The staff kept our champagne glasses filled and were attentive without being intrusive. I also loved that they had aguas frescas available for guests to serve themselves, which meant no waiting around for refills. And the sweet bread selection was a perfect touch to round out the meal along with their chocolate strawberry fountain and ice cream. Overall, it was a great place to celebrate a special occasion. The ambiance of mariachi singing and dancing in the back also added special element. Excellent food, wonderful service, and a very accommodating team. We'll definitely be back!

Since it was my first time there, he also took the time to recommend a few things to try, which I really appreciated. His suggestions were great and helped make the experience even better. Victor was professional, personable, and truly made the visit more enjoyable. Great service like that really stands out. Huge shoutout to Victor Perez, keep up the great work!

It looked like it was made with love. The egg+cheese sandwich absolutely carried the experience (seriously, give that thing a raise), and the matcha held its own as it was refreshing! Now the not so great... the huevos rancheros were unfortunately very, very, salty.. but I didn't want my money to go to waste so I made myself eat it.. The coffee was bitter, pretty but bitter. I usually like bitter coffee but this one caught me off guard haha The Customer service wasn't great.. The server asked if we needed anything else but was already walking away before we could answer. Overall, the matcha and egg+cheese sandwich was the best part from this experience. I would recommend those two.

The owner, Santiago, allowed us to come a half hour beforehand to decorate & we came in, not knowing what to expect. Upon our arrival, the birthday cake was promptly whisked away to the kitchen, we found Santiago PERSONALLY on his hands & knees fixing the electrical cords for us, our servers introduced themselves & graciously helped us rearrange the set-up to accommodate the band we brought in. Then helped us rearrange the layout yet again once we realized the band needed to be next to the electrical outlets. I was embarrassed to even ask so I started doing it myself but they jumped right in without being asked. If I'm being honest, usually I'm not a fan of buffet meals, so I wasn't expecting much. But everything served was SO delicious! The fajitas were my favorite dish, not only flavorful but also nice & moist. Not only that, but they refilled the food for us as it ran out. They brought out to-go boxes for the leftovers, & best believe my family took home every last bite! The lime margarita tower was SO yummy but also hella dangerous because it was strong!! Other restaurants will give you watered down drinks but El Patron doesn't play. We were only planning on one but it was so good, we couldn't resist getting another. From start to finish, the servers (Leslie and Cecilia) were on POINT. Their service went above & beyond expectations-- continuously checking on us, refilling drinks/food, taking photos, etc. Not only that, but also, when my young autistic nephew unfortunately got sick, they were so incredibly compassionate about it & helped clean up the mess right away. I was absolutely blown away by the attention to detail & quality of care. As my grandma is getting older, we are especially cherishing these final years with her. We spent thousands overall (venue, music, photographer, special mass, etc) but every last cent was worth seeing her happy with all of her loved ones. After many months of planning, I was super nervous about something going wrong but I can honestly say that core memories were made. Thank you to Santiago, Leslie & Cecilia for your hospitality, good food & work ethic-- it truly meant so much for our family unit.
