    2 Items Combination: Cheese Enchilada & Shredded Beef Taco
    Diana A.

    I've been coming here since it was Don Jose's as a child, and now my husband and I (along with our newborn daughter) frequent this amazing restaurant. Service is always incredible, the food is delicious and consistent, and it's a chill spot. We love their chips and salsa, and I appreciate that they use fresh shredded cheese on everything. It's probably our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! It's good for groups or a quick meal. You can even watch a sport game at the bar or in one of the dining rooms. My go-to is always the 1, 2, or 3 item combo which comes with delicious rice and beans. I love their cheese enchiladas and shredded beef tacos. Their portion sizes are perfect - you won't leave here still hungry. The best part is the service. Everyone here is always so friendly and accommodating. They will bring you more chips, salsa, or drinks before you even need to ask. I would recommend this spot without hesitation (and you'd likely see me there)!

    Fajita Burrito
    Nina S.

    Located in Best Plaza with plenty of parking, this place is spacious! We came in for a late lunch on a Saturday and we clearly beat the lunch crowd (came in at around 2 p.m.). The place was quiet with a few people eating. 80s music playing on the background. We got served complimentary chips and salsa. Salsa was good -- just the right amount of heat. We ordered: Seafood Chalupa Salad - Shrimp, crisp greens, mushrooms, avocado, bacon, hard boiled eggs, cheese, and mile jalapeño vinaigrette dressing, $19.50. The shrimp were nicely seasoned! The dressing was just right. I normally ask for the dressing on the side but forgot. Was glad that the salad wasn't swimming in dressing. The greens were just iceberg lettuce. Fajita Burrito - Steak or chicken (we had steak) - Grilled onions, pepper and refried beans, flour tortilla, topped with red chile sauce, guacamole and sour cream, $20.50. It was just ok for my companion. It was too much of the refried beans and bell peppers. I tasted the fajita steak and it was ok. Service was good. Our server was attentive, checked in on us a few times once we got our food.

    Burrito supreme

    The burrito was good could have been great if I ordered it all chicken instead of other meats inside that one was on me but it was decent so can't complain came here with friends the place was dark, calm & quiet which is a plus for me, from what I've seen mostly senior citizens as patrons come dine here this place isn't authentic Mexican which is a bummer, our waitress was Marcella she was very friendly and helpful from the moment she saw us walk in she was very on top of things and very communicative , service was quick and accurate we were out of there in under an hour will be coming back in the future

    Beef Fajita
    Rong F.

    Chili Verde: 2-star. Pork is on the salty side, rice is hard, but beans is tasty Beef Fajita: 4-star. (Lunch special which is only $12!) Beef is tender. It's served w/fresh Salsa, Sour cream and guacamole. Corn tortillas is cold-average Flan is not so sweet as of what I prefer. Friend liked her black coffee. Server Luis is very attentive and friendly.

    Rigo's signature margarita, chips, and salsa.

    I tried this location last night. I was impressed with how clean and welcoming it was. Old school vibe. They had so many speciality drinks; i opted for the Rigo's signature margarita and it was perfect. I sat at the bar as the restaurant wasn't too busy and everyone was so attentive. I was extremely satisfied with the service. I decided to try the 3 item combo so I can get a bit of everything. I got the chili Colorado, chili verde, and chili relleno. All of it was tasty and the plate was large for the price of $20.50. I was only able to eat so much so I took it to go and got another meal out of it. I also tried a variety of their salsas. Their standard salsa served w/the chips is chunky, flavorful, and mild. My favorite was the hot red sauce and the warm tomatillo. Overall, I was very satisfied w/my experience and I'll definitely return.

    Ultimate Burrito

    Food over all was 3.8/5 the cheese enchiladas were really good. But the barrio I had was just way to much meet. So it just over powered all the other flavors. Salsa was 4.3/5 I enjoyed if so did my wife. The restraint is very clean and good atmosphere. The served was 5/5 all around so polite and very nice. So fast with the food or refills. Didn't ask for more salsa and they have it out. Top notch service.

They've got indoor and outdoor seating and they seemed a touch understaffed for being a beautiful day. It was also a Tuesday lunchtime so maybe they weren't expecting it to be as busy as it was. We were able to prove the menu before we got seated. And our super friendly server came out and we were able to order right away. They've got a lunch special. That is a small personal pizza with a salad and we each got that. Salads came out first and I had the arugula salad, which was absolutely phenomenal. 10 of 10 would eat this every single day. The arugula was peppery and it was well dressed in a lemon vinaigrette type sauce. I am a fan of just plain lemon on mine, but this was delicious. My husband got a union salad, which is their specialty I guess. It's got colored carrots and some beets and some shallots. I thought the dressing was bland and it certainly needed salt and pepper. We asked for both and didn't get either. Our pieces came out and they were nice and woodfired. I feel like they could've been done just a little bit longer maybe a minute or two. The sauce was a lovely fresh type crushed tomato sauce. The cheese was nice and gooey and did not feel or taste like a package of processed cheese. Pepperonis were greasy, but in a real meat kind of way. I had to dab mine, but my husband just went to town on his. The pickled peppers is a pickled jalapeño. Big chunks of them. They certainly didn't skimp on any of the toppings. They were a little sweet and a little hot. Some of the big chunks were a little too sweet for my liking but overall, it was a nice flavor mix Also from a size standpoint, I thought the salad and pizza were very adequate for lunch at around $20 price point I asked for salt and pepper again as well as a side of ranch. This time we did get the salt and pepper as well as cheese and crushed red pepper. But we didn't get the ranch until we were leaving. The server did apologize and said he thought someone else was bringing it out but I pretty much deducted a star because we asked for a couple different things that never came. Overall, the service was super friendly, the ambience was nice for an outdoor lunch thought. I thought the menu looked delicious and there were several things I would like to come back and try and I would go back again.

It was so underwhelming. 2 eggs cooked differently, one over hard, one over easy, 5-6 potato pieces and the steak was thin, overcooked, and appeared to be a cheap cut of meat. A New York cut would have been great. Wife mentioned norms has better steak and eggs. Called and spoke with a manager Stephanie, not looking for anything, but to express disappointment in the meal for the high price. She offered to mail a gift card for us and invited us back. Took all of my information and never received it. Thanks anyway. Don't think we'll be back.

Both the restaurant and this combo are EXQUISITELY named! Claremont's buzziest Friday night go-to spot most assuredly strikes the bullseye for anyone craving well made, bespoke men's food and lawd almighty, did this combo exemplify the "smash" in its name!!! I'd discovered Eureka a wk ago as part of my wee gig work- This retired Fortune 100 exec now is perfectly content to ferry a half dozen meals/most nights. Over the course of delivering a trio of orders from the Claremont Eureka, I was transfixed both by the vibrant tempo of the restaurant paired with the friendly, welcoming demeanor of their staff. Not always the easiest choice when your lobby is SRO (Standing Rm Only) and the noise palpitates like a wave! I brought my combo home, gently reheated it and lemme tellya: There were zero "tossaways" here. Most takeout orders, I'm chucking some aspect of it- Perhaps maudlin pickles or the weepy tomato that damn near deluged my bottom bun into a veritable sponge or the month old ranch... Not here!!! My pickles (!!!) were crisp, super garlickly and looked like they'd been freshly pickled. Zero annoying tomato to rain on my bun! The dijonnaise served as an accompaniment to my onion rings was a garlickly super hero, transporting goid onion rings to GREAT! The double smash was served on a fat, glistening brioche bun that beckoned me damn near as well as my wife's wondrous backside still does, thirty yrs later! You can tell the care and thoughtfulness that the Eureka executive chef has brought to forming their menu!! My long-winded but dammit-its-descriptive way of saying- "This was an authentic 5-star meal and I can't wait to return!"
