Once people eat it they end up coming back. I've probably eaten here about 20 times. The food is consistently great. Carne Tacos are around $3-4 The taco depending on which style you get. These are premium tacos and not the junk that you get at the corner taco stand. High quality ingredients and great food. I got a big appetite I can eat about five of those tacos no problem. I'm not crazy about their guacamole or chips. They also have some potatoes which are AKA tater tots. Don't let it fool you though everything else is awesome. I've never tried the burritos yet they are pricey. The tacos here are the best in Riverside hands down! This is my go-to Taco for the inland empire.

It's no King Taco (LA ppl know), but very good. One annoying thing that happened is they charge different prices for the BRC. I've been charged $5-8 dollars for the same burrito. Recently, it seems like they increased the burrito because I was ordering it weekly. Definitely w repeat and return customer.

First things first, the restaurant location and the inside is nothing to write home about. There are ample tables there. The restroom works, but is nothing remotely close to fancy.

Highlights would be the quesa- Birria tacos and the regular Birria tacos on a Tuesday. Tacos are pretty big with 2 being enough for me. For the smaller street tacos in other places I would need closer to 4 tacos. Service: 5 Food: 5+ Ambiance: low 3's Overall this place gets a 5!

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 ordered in advance and went to pick up my food, but since I was starving, I ended up just eating there on their patio. The tacos were okay. Personally, I thought they were pretty mid and not as flavorful as I was hoping they'd be. They did have a spicy sauce that I dipped the tacos in, and that definitely helped the flavor. I personally didn't love the tacos, but to be fair, I also didn't try anything else on the menu so I can't speak for the rest of their food. The place itself is a decent size, and the patio area is actually pretty nice. The staff was very kind, my order was ready right on time, and I appreciated that they weren't stingy with the sauces. Overall not a bad spot, but the quesabirria tacos just didn't fully hit for me. Oh well *shrug*

What happened to you guys? I hope the owner reads these bad reviews. I remember when your tacos were delicious, filled with meat, and the service was good. I just left the location on Mission, and the guy there was rude. It was obvious he didn't want to be at work. But that's beside the point. The food is a joke. I'm going to attach a picture of my taco--it had literally just a small piece of meat in it. I mean, come on! Your tacos are known for being thick. I understand that maybe business is slow, and these negative reviews might be affecting your once-busy location. You have the opportunity to fix this, but serving such a tiny piece of meat is simply unfair to consumers. I really hope you take action to improve things, because if not, I can see you guys not lasting much longer. read more

The Tacayo Truck caught my wife's eye as we were driving into MoVal. She insisted and after finishing our errands, the Tacayo Birrieria did not disappoint. I ordered for my whole family. The service was excellent, the wait was super short, and the food was amazing!!! I wish they had a few more options for salsa and that would've bumped my rating to a 5 star, but other than that, I strongly recommend for anyone who loves a good Birrieria. Thank you for the delicious dinner. Definitely made me a repeat customer. read more

If you are going to go to any of the tacos de chorro trucks DO NOT go to the one in Rubidoux it's ran my straight IDIOTS! the cashier is so lost and useless she only takes 5 orders at a time then goes and talks to the guys in the back & they always "run out" of birria for 30 min 2-3x a day I prefer driving 10 miles more to the Bain st location completely better service and they do everything perfect and 2nd don't get the regular tacos everything else is super good read more

I originally wanted to order two asada, two al pastor, and two birria tacos, but the person working told me they only had birria available. So I went with four queso birria tacos. The biggest issue for me was the price, it came out to $30, which is extremely expensive for four tacos. They charge an extra 4% if you pay with a card. For what I paid, I expected a little more meat in the tacos. Besides the high price, the queso birria itself was good. The tacos came with onions, cilantro, cucumbers, lemon, and radishes, which was nice. But overall, because of the cost, I don't think I'll be coming back.

This place is my go to for lunch when I'm in the office for work…read more I've been coming to Tony's for the past 15 or so years and I only started coming to this location recently since it's near my work, but it has definitely become my favorite. The ladies that are typically taking orders/in charge of the front are very kind and great. There's like 8 or so booths available for seating, which can be all taken if they're experiencing their lunch and dinner rushes. It doesn't look super fancy inside, but it enough to make you feel comfortable eating in. The cooks are still always very quick to make the food (typically 10 minutes or less of a wait), the service is great, and the food is always consistently SO good! I think my favorites are their BRC burrito and their ground beef tacos. The tacos are ALWAYS PACKED with beef and cheese. They don't put loads of beans in their burritos either, so it's a nice mix of BRC, which is what I love. I am just now realizing I have no pictures of the food I have gotten because I tend to eat it pretty quickly when I get it, but the images in the Yelp gallery are usually what you'll get. I have never had a bad experience with the food here! The only thing, that has been bad in my experience is issues with their soda fountain. I feel like any time I have ordered the diet or Pepsi zero (that's the only soda I drink-zero sugar/diet), it ends up tasting low on the syrup/taste. It's nearly every time I order the soda for some reason. Overall though, this is one of my favorite restaurants of all time and I would always recommend people come in to try!:) 10/10!

Friendly service and I got it to go. The room was unusually quiet and calm. The two ground beef tacos were large and stuffed. Crispy shell, over stuffed with meat cheese lettuce and tomato. Very good. The burrito was also very large and filling but the pork wasn't tender at all. Almost as if the meat was cooked earlier in the week. The refried beans were very flavorful and delicious. The cost of $20 seemed to be a good value. I will be back for the tacos but my switch out the chile verde.
