    Horchata
    Tawny V.

    3.5/5 The tortas are meh but not something I would go out of my way for. The parking situation is pretty ridiculous, with a super small lot and some people parking wherever or however they want. The overall vibe is pretty cool, and the horchata was really good, not too sweet. The nachos could use more meat, and as I mentioned earlier, the torta isn't anything special. The customer service is good, but they tend to want to take your plates away quickly, probably because they don't have much space. If they're busy, they ask to clear your plates early, which is understandable.

    Menudo made with calf meat super delicious!

    I just recently found this spot in my neighborhood, and I'm so glad I did! The food is incredible, and Jaime (the owner) makes the experience even better. He's super friendly, always checks in on us, and shares great stories about his journey--once you try his food, you'll want to hear everything he has to say. My favorite dish so far is the chilaquiles plate. The quality is top-notch, and it's actually healthy--the chips are baked instead of fried. The Spanish rice was perfectly cooked (no hard pieces like you get at other places), and the beans were Peruvian instead of pinto. Bonus: both the rice and beans are vegan and gluten-free, so you leave feeling great after eating here. I came back the very next day for the menudo (available Fri-Sun), and it was amazing too. It's made with calf meat, which gives it a higher-quality taste you don't find everywhere. This place is definitely a new go-to for me--I'll be back soon to try more!

    So good and much needed!! I'm always disappointed by the lack of authenticity in some Mexican restaurants but this place was a 10 out of 10. From the café de olla, to the Chilaquiles prepped queso panela; this place was everything! My husband took a bite of his birria torta was he immediately knew it was gonna be good. When you walk inside, you're greeted by beautiful decorations that are not overwhelming or the overplayed trendy style, but definitely have a lot of heart and thought put into it The service was super friendly, and we got our food really quick. I will definitely be back.

    Someone should charge these guys criminally for charging $3.25 for some tiny, mid tacos. I feel robbed

    Chilaquiles
    Julio S.

    The food was really good and flavors on point. The service was fast and friendly. We didn't have to wait much for three plates of chilaquiles. The ambiance was really homey and welcoming. It was my first time trying this Gem. It was recommend by my sister and I'm sure glad we stopped it. I'll definitely be back. If you live in Jurupa Valley or neighboring cities you need to come check this place out. The coffee was also very good. Come check this place out.

    The service and the food is amazing. Recommend this place for sure...my husband got the sopes and I got the torta which was delicious.

    Another visit, another delicious experience. I decided to try something new: breakfast plate con milanesa. Great choice. You can't go wrong with whatever you order here.

    Sopes

    The food is delicious and authentic, the service is attentive, and friendly. Restaurant is clean, they have equilapes as chairs and they are very comfortable, very much reminds me of Mexico style restaurant.

    Great Tortas, Great Service. They are very welcoming to Me every time I come in. It's a little small of a parking lot, that's the only negative I can think of.

    Simple charro torta. Bomb

    Lovely little place with earthenware traditional plates and a small menu. Food is great. Halal meat and (though not for me) vegan options for you people. I like the small menu because everything was fresh. Not frozen and ready to cook. Talking to the owner it turns out he is a butcher. Only had his daughter there helping him. Need any more stamps of authenticity? Loved it and will be coming back for more

    Torta Milanesa
    Madison G.

    Best food and always nice service Since we've tried it last month for the first time we've been back 5+ times

    The customer service was beyond excellent -- so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. They make you feel like family, not just another table. You can truly tell everything is made with love and pride. Desde que entras se siente el cariño. La comida está deliciosa, auténtica, y hecha con ese toque casero que te abraza el alma. El servicio fue espectacular -- atentos, amables, y con una sonrisa sincera. Se nota cuando un negocio es familiar y trabajan con el corazón. 100% recommend supporting this gem.

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.

First time coming to the restaurant for all of us. The ambience was cool and I liked the fact that they made the tortillas fresh. The food was cool I guess. My grandmother got the chicken fajitas but there were no bell peppers with it, just onions. The tamale was mid. My Dad and myself ordered a basic bean and cheese burrito. I did not like the fact that it wasn't mentioned that the beans are made with bacon until AFTER we received our food! My dad doesn't eat meat and the rice is made with chicken as well. The server did bring him something else but this needs to be stated on the menu or upon ordering! We were sat right next to where they made the tortillas and can see them being made since they had glass windows around it. However, there was one gentleman that was making tortillas who was on his cell phone texting or whatever CONSTANTLY at the same time while doing this. He had a glove on one hand and no glove on the other, and was touching the tortilla dough.....We all know how dirty a cell phone is! And what made it worse is at one point he itched the inside of his nose with his finger, and didn't even wash his hands or have gloves on after that. Definitely made my stomach turn and what caused me to go and write this review. I suggest a camera be placed at the tortilla station, add the notes about bacon in the beans and chicken in the rice, and add bell peppers to the fajitas. Also, maybe give the option of meatless beans and rice for the non-meat eaters
