    Spinach Enchiladas

    They changed ownership but the food is still very good! I'll forever miss the original owners though. But they definitely passed it over to some good hands. We'll be back!

    I love Ramiro's! My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place and were really glad we did. It's a small restaurant but has plenty seating and really nice staff. The prices are very fair and it tastes fantastic. Definitely would recommend.

    Chilaquiles

    Ramiro's Cocina Mexicana is my favorite spots for Mexican breakfast and brunch. I had the chilaquiles and machaca, and both were really good, but the chilaquiles especially stood out-they are honestly the best I've tried. The flavors were on point, the chips had the perfect texture and everything is great. The machaca was also solid and flavorful, a great hearty option. Overall, the food felt fresh and satisfying, and the portions were just right. Definitely great overall.

    I was craving a margarita on my lunch break and this place was hit really good reviews . I got seated right away and I decided on the lime margarita and the green chicken enchilada and the guacamole . Overall the margarita was really good and not too sweet . The chips and guacamole were very flavorful and the chicken enchilada with green salsa was pretty flavorful . Overall the service was good and the staff were very welcoming. The ambience of the place was nice as well .

    Will definitely be a returning customer! The food was amazing, delicious authentic Mexican food. The people who run the restaurant are very nice and sweet, very accommodating to dietary restrictions and spice levels! The restaurant itself felt very homey and inviting to be in.

    I've eaten there several times and each time is always Great Food, I Never gotten disappointed,It's Very clean, and love the Ambiance , the staff if very friendly they almost feel like family, Plus the restrooms are always kept clean So I'd give it a Strong 10+ over all.

    Chile Verde

    Second time here. The food here is great. It's always served hot including the chips. The salsas were great, tasted homemade. I'm only giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the carne asada was a bit tough to cut but very tasty.

    Great little local place. Such a great spot for authentic food. Quesadillas were the best I've ever eaten. The staff were very friendly and service was quick.

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.

I guess with the theme of "homemade tortillas" they use them for everything including chips. Tacos hard shell, taste more like "flautas". Drinks are way "overpriced" for the size. We will never get an alcoholic beverage again. Table Salsa needs a fast makeover, it taste very blah, very mild and had a preservative/chemical taste. Quality vs. Popularity is taking over.

    I'm usually a little hesitant about going out for Mexican food because I cook a lot of it at home,…read moreso I'm harder to impress... But I'm glad we chose Ay Mi Pa for my friend's graduation celebration. We came around 6-7 PM on a Saturday and surprisingly there wasn't much of a dinner rush yet. The place is huge with lively music and definitely gives more bar/club vibes as the night goes on. The aguachile was really good and flavorful. We also tried the espresso martini, which was a little too bitter for me. I ordered the Spicy Soltera and they accidentally brought me a different drink first. They let me keep that one and still brought out the correct drink, which was nice of them. And wow... definitely one of the spiciest drinks I've ever had. But I can't really complain when "spicy" is literally in the name. We chose the Jefe Skillet. It's massive and could easily feed three people. All the meats were really flavorful, the guacamole was great, and even the complimentary chips and salsa were good. The rice and beans were pretty average, but everything else made up for it. Overall, great food, huge portions, and a really fun atmosphere for a celebration. 8.5/10

Very spacious location, decor has you feeling like you're in Cancun, really good setup. Music is BLASTING, there's a Dj and large screen playing music videos and the music selection when I was there was on point! 5/5 for the vibes! We started off with a mimosa, standard drunk so nothing out of this world about it. Chips and salsa were brought out for the table and both were really good! Chips were warm and made in-house so they were perfect. Salsa was a pico de gallo finely chopped. For my main course I ordered the huevos rancheros and that was a 3/5. Overall flavor was good I will say but the dish was a little cold upon the first bite. Loaded with sour cream and salsa, it was a little too much. The dish came with asada (steak) inside and the meat was really chewy and only a few pieces of it. I was too thrown off by the food being slightly cold but otherwise, it wasn't terrible. Very modern take on Mexican food. Service was quick and our waiter, Jose was super nice! No complaints there whatsoever. This place is definitely more for the vibe itself. Good spot to grab some appetizers or a quick small bite, or just drinks themselves. Overall, 3.8 stars from me!
