My first visit was yesterday, 05-25-26. Was headed back to LA leaving from the Riverside National Cemetery when I discovered this spot driving down Van Buren towards the 91 Freeway. Looked on google maps using my phone and saw they had 4.2 stars which was good enough for me to bust a u-turn and pull up. Then I looked on Yelp and saw some good reviews which confirmed I was making a good decision. Big parking with many spots available. It's also a shared lot. Seating is available outside. Immediately walking in I liked the vibes and was greeted by the hostess. It's a nice spacious restaurant with plenty of tables and seating. A few tables were occupied from what appeared to be a couple of separate families dining. I grabbed a seat at the bar and was then greeted by the bartender who was very welcoming and friendly. I love the customer service. Being swamped with the other tables and then including myself, she still was attentive to me at while I was sitting alone at the bar. The old fashioned she made me was on point. Although, I was expecting a big ice cube or ice sphere in my glass and not the standard ice cubes, it still worked out. $16 is about average for an old fashioned. I also had a passion fruit margarita and it was great. $6 on a Monday, you definitely can't be upset at that. The Quesa Birria Tacos came with a cup of consomè for $12. That's not a bad price. And they put some Birria in the consomè. I've been to a lot of spots where they don't. Not your traditional with the queso but it was still fire with the Mexican blend or style of cheese. I truly enjoyed both tacos and wish it came with more consomè lol. Overall, I loved the experience. I had a great time before taking that hr drive back. The vibes were definitely on point.y drinks were good and reasonable. The tacos were really good and also reasonable. The customer service was amazing. I left the bartender a $5 for working so hard and just being a decent person. read more

We attended a plant bingo event at this restaurant and have no regrets. The atmosphere was very relaxing. They had a Dj playing good music and warm lighting. The service was fast and friendly, we were served by multiple servers! They were overall very attentive, we were super happy with the service. The food was good. I had enchiladas, my husband had tacos and both plates had some sweetness to them. It wasn't bad, just not used to sweetness in Mexican plates. The salsa wasn't spicy either. BUT the rice and beans were delicious and the salsa bar was very clean. I'd definitely still return if ever in the area. read more

My family loves Tacos Al Fuego. They have the best food, drinks, and servers. all reasonably priced. They also host lots of fun events like plant bingo, paint nights, and DJ nights. read more

We stumbled onto this spot by accident while going through the Starbucks drive-thru, saw their food and drink sign, and decided to give it a try. We've now been here three times, and every visit has been solid. Their tacos are some of the closest you'll get to true Mexican street tacos full of flavor and priced right. The food, the drinks, and the service are consistently great. They also have a really good salsa bar, and the staff is always attentive. Each time we've visited, the experience has been on point. One night they even had a DJ, which added to the vibe. The ambiance is relaxed, not overly crowded, but lively enough. We even watched the Dodgers in the World Series here plenty of TVs for sports, and the atmosphere was perfect. This place is definitely a hidden gem that more people need to discover. Highly recommend it for a quick, tasty dinner and drinks. read more

Tacos al Fuego in Riverside is *truly that girl* Everything is made fresh -- NOTHING frozen -- and you can taste it in every bite. The **salsa bar** alone had me excited I tried every single salsa and honestly loved them all. So much flavor and the perfect little kick! We ordered the **Appetizer Sampler** and it was the best way to try all the staples Sopes Taquitos Quesadillas Chips Everything was delicious and super fresh. Then we got the **Seafood Sampler** Butter shrimp, shrimp ceviche, and camaron empanadas... all sooo good and great portions too. The **drinks** were 10/10 ‍ Mango Margarita + Lobos Spicy Pineapple -- perfect sweet-to-alcohol ratio. I couldn't pick a favorite if I tried! For **dessert**, I went with the Poquito Maz Churro meets funnel cake with strawberry jam and ice cream... SO GOOD. Literally giving bread pudding vibes in the best way. Overall, this spot is a MUST if you're in Riverside Food Drinks Dessert Can't wait to come back and try more! read more

We love it here! If you want a quaint, local Mexican restaurant with a great vibe, great food and great service this is the place if you are in Woodcrest. This is a hidden gem in the shopping center but a pleasant surprise! I didn't want to cook on my birthday so figured ordering from my favorite taco spot would be the best end to my day! Of all visits this one was just kismet... everything was just amazing. The music, food and drinks are always just so good. To top it off Jaydon was just the best and made my birthday drink so special it really made my day. Please come and give them a try! Best weekday date night!! read more

Came across this place while driving back from Coachella. We stopped by to gas up and we were hungry. The server was polite .. The food was salty and very greasy. We ordered 2 burritos they got our order wrong. We decided to just eat it but once we took a bite they were both very very salty. Nothing else more to say but .. from one visit it was unfortunate. Because of the time and us trying to just get home we didn't make a fuzz about it. I didn't take a picture. The food looked good but it taste really bad. We didn't finish our burritos took 2 bites .. and walked out. 2 stars because the server was nice. read more

Awesome spot! It was our first time here and it was a great experience. We had the surf and turf burrito, chips and salsa, and shrimp taco which were all delicious. The flavor on everything was exactly what you'd want and they also had a salsa bar with a variety of salsas. I also had a margarita which was a part of their happy hour. Again, really good. Our server Jaydon did an amazing job. He was attentive, warm, and had a lot of knowledge about the menu. I thought he was the owner honestly! We did learn that they also have live music on the weekends and they have events like a "Paint and Sip." Definitely will be back and highly recommended. 10/10 read more

Went in wanting a great margarita and lunch. The Cadillac Margarita was in a small regular glass and was a bit pricey. The flavor was great. Hubby and I both got regular tacos and they were just fine. I normally get a burrito or fish Tacos but the burrito choices were slim and they don't make any adjustments from the menu. You also don't get chips and salsa. read more

Came for a quick lunch on Labor Day. Fuego was open & ready to serve. We ordered 2) margaritas one reg one spicy cucumber. Chips & quac - Yum! The 3 crispy taco - messy but good Shrimp ceviche - Fab! Our server Dianne (2 N's) was so attentive, made our drinks which were super tasty & they were made to order (flavor wise; spicy etc) Dianne also was very knowledgeable of the menu & made suggestions according to our preferences as well which was great guidance for the menu. I def recommend asking for Dianne as your service/bar tender! & ordering the shrimp ceviche! The green sauce/ relish that comes with the ceviche is PHENOMENAL!!! I'll need the recipe pls read more

We came across Tacos Al Fuego when picking up a pizza at Viano's next door. A few weeks later we came back to try their tacos. The food was good, but nothing extraordinary. Service was polite, but very slow, not sure if we will be back. Might go up the street to Miguel's Jr. read more

food was cold and not good today. Very upsetting all the food came out cold. never went to a place and all the food come out cold very upsetting still in the restaurant as we speak. And they said they werent able to refund make new or discount anything because no manager is in. read more

First and foremost the restaurant is very sheik! The bar is trendy and the mural is very cool to look at. The drinks are phenomenal, shout out to the bartender. If you have a big appetite I suggest you order the California burrito which is loaded with carne asada and French fries. They have a $9.99 lunch special with 2 tacos and rice and beans. A item that you must order is the chicken tinga flautas! Trust me those are full of flavor. read more

It's clear Tacos Al Fuego is an owner's dream realized. You can tell the leadership has created a culture where the quality of the food is the only thing that matters. The service is incredibly streamlined and efficient--no fluff, no theatrics, just high-level execution. It's refreshing to support a business that is so secure and simple in its product. A perfect example of a well-run, focused local gem. I'll be a regular here that's for sure! read more

All gourmet tacos were extremely great. Lotsa meat too. Great salsas. Great service. Reasonable prices

Came back to try this place again after the opening weekend experience. Was seated properly and our server came to introduce herself, we ordered water and chips n salsa while looking over the menu. Items were brought out pretty quick. Went to the salsa bar to get additional salsa. This salsa bar is still a miss, the only good one there is the guac salsa, the fuego salsa has the strangest taste and was not good... do not get this one. Shortly after we ordered our mains the perron tacos and fuego burrito (wet). The perron tacos were average and needed some seasoning. The fuego burrito wasn't bad but save your money and do not order it wet. A 3 dollar surcharge for the same exact salsa dumped over the burrito that I could have gotten at the salsa bar and done myself... Plus the burrito was not hot, it was just warm. In all honestly this place is mid- likely won't be back based on food experience and price of food. read more

This is a great neighborhood eatery. They have a full bar and the food is awesome. We will be back!

Year update! Not too many great local food spots to choose from up here, but this place has become a favorite. I'll date myself by saying it has a Cheers vibe...where the team is friendly and the best @rae.thabartender remembers your drink orders... and you often run into someone you know. Street tacos and the street corn are a go to... (I hope they add a salad option soon). read more

What a fun taco spot! Service was great, portions were generous and the tacos are delicious! Hubby should have listened to the waitress and ordered only two tacos as they were so filling! At first I was a little bummed we had to pay for chips and salsa as an appetizer but their chips are WORTH it! Absolutely amazing, homemade chips! Presentation was amazing, food and drinks were great. Glad we tried and will be back! read more
