    Just came in for fries this time. Crinkle cut crispy, good portion and seasoned well. Update on the menu pics too.

    Bean and cheese burrito so bomb
    John R.

    Was invited by my brother who knows how much of a frijolero I am lol. He ordered us the same exact bean and cheese burrito combo, which came with fries and a soda for a real good price! He also ordered a few shredded beef tacos also, those were good but this review is strictly about the bean and cheese.. Ok first off, the burrito is a very good size. The hotness and warmth of the tortilla was excellent. That first bite was amazing.. the taste of the beans and gooey cheese was point on. I've had many many many bean and cheese burritos and Tony's is top 5 for sure. That says a lot. The actual restaurant is a nice decent size , but it does get crowded quickly. The workers are very nice and accommodating, don't forget the red salsa bottle for your burrito and fries!! I returned a week later that's how good it was. Thanks bro

    Came here today for the first time and OMG.. This place is very good. The line never ends (but moves fast). I would definitely come here again. Delicious. Love the hot sauce.. Chicken taco is my favorite (so far). Will be back to try more.

    White hair

    Staff is rude and for whatever reason I find hair in the food. This is not the first time there is hair. This is the last time I will be eating here. I wouldn't recommend eating here unless you want hair in your food.

    Salsa great taste

    Awesome food fast friendly service food is always fresh i have never had a bad experience here price is great as well

    Enchilada combo
    Daniel L.

    At best, I would say that you will have an 'okay' experience at this place. This is my second time here and it all still feels and tastes cheap. I ordered some chicken enchiladas and it was horrible. The plate, as you can see, was oozing with grease. The enchilada sauce tasted like it was from the cans at the super market, and the cheese was just a frozen slab they threw on there, barely melted as you can see in the video. The service here is also pretty bad, as the 1 churro I ordered took ten minutes and it was crunchy, which is usually an indication that it was just unfrozen rather than freshly made. We also asked for a box for our food, the guy at the front said they didn't have any to go boxes when we VERY clearly saw one of the chefs grab a box for a to-go order. As you can already tell, this place is very cheap with the service, as they give you paper plates to eat on, charge a dollar for refills, and only give you one-two salsas per plate, as it states on their wall. Which if you look at the walls, you can tell the building is not in the best condition either. On a positive note, the beans and rice tasted very good. So if you have to eat here, a rice and bean burrito might be the play. However, I would look for other options.

Location is near Mission Inn on Main Street. Price is on the higher end so plan to pay an average of $30/person. The only thing that was a bummer for us was the loud music for lunch hour experience. The music was loud and made me think it would be best for a club atmosphere? Maybe it was just me but I felt anxiety eating because the music was so upbeat and loud. Music is a big part of the eating experience. I know some people may be fine with it. For example, we had breakfast at Tio's Taco and the music was spot on for the dining experience.

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.

We have not been here since the 90's and I have to say, it was much better back then. All in all, there is just no flavor. The salsa tasted like watery tomatoes, our waitress gave us a little side of habanero salsa to incorporate with it but that heat is the extreme for me. We ordered the Mesquite chicken and steak fajitas which were less than average. Not sure if it was just a bad day, but the taste of the protein did not match up to the wonderful smell of BBQ outside the restaurant. The tortillas were just ok, first batch was not even warm. My Michelada was good though. Bummer visit after being away for so long. Looks like the interior could stand a makeover.

We waited a while just to order drinks, never mind the food. It took a long while to order our food, long enough that we were looking around for our server. Once we were able to order our food, it arrived and we were both disappointed. Neither dinner tasted good and was bland. They were definitely not worth the price, and, again, our we had to look for our server. During all the waiting and searching both my wife and I suffered with the extremely loud music, and my wife is deaf (not a joke). The music was so loud it vibrated on the table and chair, which bothered my wife, and luckily we use ASL to communicate. The few other tables had to speak loud enough that I could hear their conversations. Bad food, slow service, and way too loud music, we won't be back.

Their Mojarra for one, is amazing with some corn tortillas, beans and rice, and lettuce. The lime garlicky sauce on that one, is what I've been dreaming of. It was THE star of the show. And we also got their wet supreme burrito mojado, with the mole sauce all over it Also tried their agua fresca, loved the cucumber and lime flavor! Great size for two to share, and we had a blast just eating and enjoying the sights laid out to see. Their pickled onions got a spicy kick to it! I loved the added crunch instead of just having the typical hot salsa. Service was great, with the waiters and waitresses checking in on us every now and then, and I liked that we pay first then eat, so we just leave after we're done! Excellent experience as the weather was perfect too, the outdoor seating has some mosquitoes but be sure to go when it's not molting hot outside! After food we got to go on a photo spree and it was wonderful.

I do wish there was a vegan protein thrown in like black beans or soyrizo or something to make it more filling but I'm glad there was a vegan option on the menu. There is a salsa bar that can help add to your meal like spicy pickled carrots, cucumbers, salsa and pickled onions. My favorite part of this place is the art decor. They're all made from materials that were bound to go in the trash, most notably cans that they open for cooking. So you'll see lids and the other material from cans beautifully molded into these structures. It may seem random but I found lots of humor and play thrown into the craftsmanship of it all. Some pieces are like playing I Spy. It was funner to see than a lot of museums I've gone to actually. It's truly just packed with art. I even got to meet one of the artists as he was working on something. He was really friendly. There's a few of them who work on them together and I learned they've been doing this since the 90's! How cool. It's so nice to see all the things they've come up with to create. Go check it out! Definitely a date worthy spot too. My bf and I had a lot of fun walking around seeing what they created.
