    Torre Mixta
    Mike F.

    Absolutely amazing dining experience! The hostess greeted and seated us with a smile. Ambiance just feels good. You feel like yes this is going to be good as soon as you walk in. Drinks and food are on a different level! Everything is served with passion. The drinks as well as the food look like they are prepared with care. Service is very good and attentive. Portion size, didn't see many walking out without left overs. Chicken Molé de licious!! Mixto with shrimp pulpo and scallops dr licious!! Drinks, yes!!! Refreshing and really good. My new favorite place. See you again!

    My wife and I went in for breakfast. We enjoy chilaquiles but are not usually satisfied with restaurant chilaquiles. This place has raised the bar. The food was delicious. The portions were excellent. The service was great. Our waitress was really nice. This place just felt like going to eat my mom's house when there is a family gathering. I will definitely be back to try their seafood and Micheladas.

    Ordered a Botana de Aguachile that cost 35.36 which should be a trey of agua chiles they gave me enough for 2 tostadas. When i went back to say something the guy behind the counter said that the "Tostada de Aguachile Rojos o Verdes" that cost 18.72 is supposed to have more than the botana. He had an attitude and did not want to fix it just said this was his excuse

    Molcajete Volcan

    Our first time here! My daughter took me to celebrate my birthday and the food was amazing and the service was great. I'm posting this almost 2 weeks later and my daughter already told me she's been thinking of the camarones and pulpo el jefe- it was delicious. We also ordered el molcajete volcán and it was also very tasty. As we waited for our food- we saw many other dishes we want to try next time. Can't wait to come back.

    The food was fantastic! We had a molcajete cielo, tierra y mar, and it was incredibly flavorful, had some of the best meats and seafood we had eaten in a long time. The service was top notch - Maricela took care of us and was very attentive throughout the whole visit. Thank you so much!!

    Food and service was fantastic! The spicy shrimp (camarones ala Diabla) and Caldo de camaron were delicious! As were the Camarones Altamirano and estilo cucaracha. We happened to stop by on karaoke night and the vibes were awesome! Great food, good drinks and our waitress Marisela was the best!

    It's better than most but not impressed. It's a bit overpriced and underwhelming. The presentation is cool. No real flavor.

The meal started off strong with their chips and salsa--super fresh and flavorful. For my entrée, I had the chicken fajitas. While they were cooked properly, I wish they had a bit more seasoning to really bring out the flavor. My wife had the enchiladas divorciadas, which were beautifully presented, but unfortunately, the filling was a bit cool. She probably should have sent it back, but since we were in a hurry, we didn't bother. On the positive side, my daughter had the carne asada burrito, and she said it was excellent. Service started off great with our younger male waiter being very attentive at first, but it slowed down significantly as our meal went on. By the end of our visit, I actually had to go up to the register to ask to pay. It was lunch time, and it wasn't that busy, so this felt a bit out of the ordinary. Despite the hiccups, I'm willing to give Morena's Mexican Cuisine another try, as it may have just been an off day. The chips and salsa, along with my daughter's burrito, showed that they definitely have what it takes to impress. I'll reserve final judgment after my next visit!

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.
