La Bufadora Baja Grill - Riverside - Mexican Near Me - Riverside, California

Ahhh I've heard people mention this place for awhile . It's always on the short list of :"Where should we eat ? " I was only going to get one potato taco and one fish taco, but I think the cashier misheard me,or just decided to place a better order,because I ended up receiving the two potato taco combo for $5.The single fish taco came to a little over $4. The concept is open kitchen so you can see the cooks making your meal. It came out fast but the fish taco was cold. I still ate it because I was on a time crunch, but I wish it was hot or even warm .The potato in the tacos was mashed and the shell was a corn shell that was fried. I was a little surprised by that, but it worked. When you order the combo you're able to order a fountain drink for a dollar so I ended up adding lemonade. My companion's chose things like fries with toppings and tacos that came with grilled green chilies, so I want to go back and try other things. read more

I came here for a quick lunch with low expectations. The food was fairly decent but not really worth it in my opinion. There are way better fish taco joints and some are better while simultaneously being cheaper. If you plan on coming, make use of the taco Tuesday deal which includes meat based tacos, or the Wednesday fish taco deal. I came for fish tacos but picked the wrong day. No biggie, they're still fairly affordable at $4 a taco. They tasted pretty good but nothing special in the world of fish tacos. I also decided to try the nachos since a small is only $5. Unfortunately, I assume there was a language barrier issue because I asked for no meat and they came out with beef. The restaurant interior is quiet, pretty big, but also worn down and a little dirty. I wasn't impressed overall, and won't come again. read more

Great food and service . The new look is nice . I got some fish tacos and a ceviche and everything tasted fresh .

First off let me tell you Emilio customer service is OUTSTANDING. The shrimp and potato tacos are the best that we have found in Riverside. My son got the Carne asada fries and they were also tasty. The fries have a great seasoning on them. If you haven't tried this spot your missing out. read more

Food is good and fresh. We eat there often as it is in the neighborhood. Service is friendly and helpful.

I love La Bufadora. I work around the corner and am in here quite often. Work orders take out all of the time. The potatoes tacos and battered fish tacos are incredible. They also have great salsa. I wish they had a liquor license to serve margaritas but sadly they mainly offer beer. If they had a full bar, I would be here at least once a week. They recently renovated the inside so it is so pretty. There are booths running along the side of one wall with tables in the middle. You place your order from the counter and your name is yelled when your food is ready. If you are in the neighborhood and love Mexican food, try this place out. read more

Love their fish tacos here! Big chunks of swai, battered and fried Baja style or grilled, they are addictive. $3.99 ea, or $3 on Wednesdays. They top them with lettuce, tomato, and the traditional mayonnaise dressing, plus give you little cups of picante red and green salsas made in-house. I have also tried their grilled shrimp tacos. Good, but the fish tacos are what have won my heart. I brought home a small container of ceviche made from Krab (crab flavored fish) that was decent, too. The "small" order made me two meals. The churros ($2 ea or $5 for 3) are made to order, so crisp and warm, not kept under a heat lamp where they end up tough. Delicious! Such a decadent treat that brings back happy memories of the first, yard long ones I ate in Tijuana from a street vendor some 40 years ago. These are just as good, just smaller and missing the authentic olefactory ambiance. These have a cajeta (caramelized condensed milk) filling that oozes out when you bite into those crisp, cinnamony sugar-coated temptations. I've only been here once before, but decided they beat the competition for this area, so well worth a slight drive, 10 miles?, for us. So happy to have found them! read more

The person who helped us with our order was great. The food on the other hand not so good , my husband got food poisoning from eating fish tacos. I also ordered the same thing but did not like them, so I did not eat them , Something was off. The batter was soft from the inside part and the fish tasted weird, undercooked perhaps. Be careful if you order this. read more

This is a great family spot, there is even an option to order online. Now as far as price it is on the higher side, but the food is delicious. They do offer lunch specials and the potato tacos are amazing! The shrimp cocktail is really one of the better in town. The areas of improvement would be service it's really a hit or miss, the cleanliness during the busier times could also be better. Seating is decent. read more

Food was meh. It was a clean area. The speakers out front were blown tf out.. Drink dispensers had my sweater wet as hell. The sodas had no flavor. When I told the girl at the register she looked as if I had spoken bad about her mother.. I just wanted a good drink that I payed for.. I don't plan on going back. Oh my husband asked twice what goes in a Diablo Burrito and ordered one when we got home he got carne asada fries I give 2 stars because horchata was delicious! read more

David was friendly, he took our order. Good value meal deals. 4 bucks for a beer during Happy Hour!! Ordered the mini fish tostadas what a great idea. Filling too. I love the protein taco option but could be double wrapped, it falls apart easily with just one lettuce. It was clean. They are hiring says the big sign in the window for those that complained about the service. I'll be back!! Thank you read more

Excellent service, customer oriented personal attention to detail, food is tasty will definitely recommend to friends and family

I was very put off by the smell in this establishment. A restaurant should smell like the stuff they're cooking but unfortunately this place smells like bad plumbing. Gross. Service was just OK as it didn't feel welcoming. The food was good. I got a grilled fish taco and a grilled shrimp taco. They were served with portioned and sealed salsas as their salsa bar seems to be closed. My kid liked her carnitas burrito, and the other kid liked their potato tacos but they were The Tiniest potato tacos ever. Overall, we were not impressed and there are other places that offer this type of food with better service and better air to breathe. read more

This place was sooooo good! I can't wait to come back. I was over charged for 3 salsas when I only ordered one...she said I could take the salsas but then they would give me a refund after I was finished eating. I went back for my refund and she asked for the salsas back after she gave them to me. I'm not sure what that was about but I would still come back. I got two protein shrimp tacos. Delicious! read more

Came in here with my husband for brunch . I got two tostadas de Asada and he got a torta . Right from the beginning the cashier/server had an attitude with us . When I walked towards what used to be the salsa bar (which for COVID reasons is no longer there which I didn't know ) I had ask the cashier for chilis and salsa and she said with an attitude tone you will get it with your order . It's the way she said it her tone that bother me . Also I notice when it came for our order they called us to pick it up which I didn't mind but notice another couple sitting outside as well there order was brought out to them . I feel they should give equally customer service to all customers. And lastly when I took a bite of one my tostadas it had a chunk of fat !! Torta Street Taco read more

Food is really good. The only thing I had an issue was the lady at the front claudia. I called to place an order and as I was telling her what I wanted and asking her what was in it. She sounded confused, like if she didn't understand what I was saying, so she decided to hang up on me. I showed up in person, placed my order and asked her if she hugged up on me or did we loose connection. She said she was sorry she was busy. This is very unprofessional of her. If she was busy, she could at least put me on hold instead of hanging up. Your staff needs some training! read more

Fish tacos are a thumb down , they are not cooked through, had to toss those out. The shrimp tacos and potato tacos are decent.

The food is okay, your standard fish tacos . I remember this place being really good a few years ago. It's Saturday Iggy and no one is here in here only a few couples. Maybe others think it's gone down or to pricey now for tacos. Ok ordered my food and requested extra salsa, they wanted $3 more dollars for 3oz of salsa. I understand it's not an easy time for restaurants but COME ON!!! Really 3 bucks? They need to get off their butts and return to the restaurant it used to be, back when they had fishnets hanging and fake fish on the wall. That gives you an idea of how long I have been com here. Do I recommend it? Only if you must have fish tacos, otherwise I don't recommend it anymore. 2 stars because there wasn't anyone and I got my food faster. read more

I use to love coming here but my last two experiences have been disappointing and tonight was the cherry on the top. I stopped to pick up dinner, ordered my food to go and waited like I normally would. First they prepared my food as if I was dining in. When I told the lady it was to go she started yelling at the cashier who took my order. I told the lady look just box up my order because I have to go. She ignored me and proceeded to loudly scold the cashier. The whole time I was waiting for them to box my food up they were arguing, totally unprofessional. The worst part is that when I got home I realized they didn't give me my order correctly. I expect a full refund for this. Thank you for ruining my dinner. read more

If you frequent the haunts of Riverside, you may find yourself on Van Buren looking for something to eat. Well, LBBG is a good place to look. Granted,... there are probably a hundred Mexican restaurants in the area. Having not tried all of them, I can only tell you about LBBG. This is a typical fast-casual dining experience; order and pay, then find a seat. After perusing the menu, I settled on the surf and turf burrito. Let me tell you that although it looks compact, it packs a mean punch. The burrito is filled with shrimp and carne asada. It's filled with your typical burrito fillings. Then, they have salsas (red and green) that you can use to enjoy the burrito. It took me a while to eat through this burrito. There was plenty of meat in each bite. It also filled me up for hours. Next, the flavors (when throwing in the salsas) were "delicioso." Chiming in at about $12, it was a reasonable price for what you got. I can highly recommend the surf and turf burrito. Those in my party that got the fish tacos were also equally happy with their choice. All in all, LBBG is a good choice for Mexican food in the deep IE. Be sure to give them a try. read more
