Stumbled upon this place last Friday when I had to stop by savers down the street. It looked pretty authentic when I checked it out online, and I was right in thinking it would be helpful that my friend was around that spoke Spanish since I'm a no sabo kid. I think you could probably get by without speaking Spanish, I'm assuming the couple next to us probably didn't and they looked like regulars if I has to guess, haha. The menu certainly had some items I hadn't seen at most other Mexican restaurants that I want to come back and try. But I was pretty focused on the "Mojarra Frita" once I saw it pictured on the menu. It's a cleaned tilapia fish coated in seasoning and deep fried. I first had it as a kid when my dad ordered it at a restaurant somewhere in East LA I think. It was so delicious, and I've had it a couple times since then chasing my first high. This is the first time I've had it since then that may have matched the level of flavor. It brought back a great memory for me, and I was glad I got to share a piece with my friend so he knew how great it was too. He said he'd definitely get it next time. It had a nice saltiness. The sides were great too. They included a side salad, a simple potato salad, and some rice. The rice was really flavorful compared to most other restaurants I've eaten at. To top it off, I got a horchata that was a little pricey but came in a large mason jar. It had a great flavor and you could tell it was made in-house. It wasn't overly thick or sweet like lots of other places serve. I already told my friends I want to bring them to this place sometime in the near future. I think they would enjoy trying some of the more unique items on the menu and it has a nice relaxed atmosphere for dinner. read more

I was back in Riverside, so I had to stop here again. Their enchiladas are always a hit, and the aguas frescas were perfect for the hot weather. The white rice was cooked to perfection, and as always, the restaurant was clean and well maintained. The customer service can be a little hit-or-miss depending on the day. They forgot my tamal de elote with my order, but they quickly corrected the mistake and I was able to take it to go. One thing I did notice is that the prices have gone up since my last visit, but honestly, I still think it's well worth it. The food has been consistently good, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

We had a wonderful time there for lunch, the service was great. The food was delicious also and we enjoyed the ambiance.

As you walk in you are not greeted 4 girls at the register 3 tables that day reserved that can easily be separated to assist the people that are in the restaurant however they let you wait in line and then tell you can't order because they don't have space so then I replied by telling so we can't order she then replied by saying no.. the staff is completely unprofessional and rude don't waste your time here read more

Very delicious caldo de pollo! Good service. Very clean. I picked it up to go and it didn't disappoint.

I had the Enchiladas Michoacanas with fried chicken and it lacked flavor. I had to add salt to it. The enchiladas could use more cheese as well. My daughter got the tacos enchilados which are basically quesa birria tacos. They dip the tacos in the enchilada sauce and it comes with consome. She loved them. I tried them and they were flavorful. I should have ordered that instead. The horchata is really good and the agua de chia with cucumber needed to be a little bit sweeter. I like that they bring out tortilla chips and salsa, but just fyi, the green salsa is on the spicier side. The service was good, but our server took a long time at the end to check on us. We were ready to go and she would check on other tables except for ours. Will I come back? I think so, but will get the tacos enchilados (quesa birria) next time. read more

We traveled about 30 minutes out to this location because I was craving some Enchiladas Michoacanas. I saw their Instagram & decided to check it out, but it was a huge letdown. I ordered the chicken enchilada plate, but the chicken had no flavor & the enchiladas were cold. My son's asada tacos were overcooked. The only thing we really enjoyed was the chips with guacamole & salsa. They offered canned or glass sodas, don't expect refills. We paid around $65 for two enchilada plates one chicken & one steak & three asada tacos. Service was mid... read more

First time here and the food was delicious. From the salsa with the chips to the enchiladas Michoacanas to the jamaica. The chicken was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Service was great. Will definitely be back to try other dishes. read more

We have been coming here since the location was a different restaurant under a different name. The food at Azadero didn't disappoint. I ordered the caldo de camarón (shrimp stew) and it was very delicious. It has great flavor. It is piping hot when it first arrives at your table and comes with freshly made corn tortillas. The camarones al mojo de ajo looked delicious as well and come with tortillas. The only thing that was a little odd were the enchiladas michoacanas. They are essentially fried tortillas dipped in red chile folded like tacos, with a sprinkle of cheese inside - I've had Michoacán enchiladas dozens of times but never like this...they were interesting and different, when you order them with chicken, they don't come with chicken inside, they come with 2 drumsticks on the side. The restaurant was packed around 12:30pm - 1 pm. We had to wait about 5 - 10 mins to be seated and it got really packed as we were waiting. Service was good overall. read more

Very good, we ordered two dishes and both were sensational, the service was also very good

If you are craving some authentic morisqueta and enchiladas Michoacanas this is the place in the Riverside area. The service is very good. I usually order ahead if I'm on my lunch and Al's them to have it ready by the time an arrive and they do that for me. read more

Came to celebrate my daughters birthday. Micheladas had more Clamato than beer, the asada tacos had more fat than meat, my son's order was never brought out. I'd rate them a 5 out of 10 read more

Wife and i were looking for a place to eat and decided to check their instagram page, the hype was high and very enthusiastic so we gave it a go...while the service was genuine and prompt, the food was disappointing, the pozole was mediocre, the moriquetas were tasteless, like if the cooks have something against flavor. The birria tacos were decent and their green sauce was actually the best thing they have. Safe to say we gave this place a try but this food is not that great, if you are looking for mediocre food, this is the place, at any rate we keep searching for good Mexican food. Oh and yeah, I'll never go back, it's not worth it. read more

All this people bashing on azadero,either are no sabos or never been to Michoacan the enchiladas for me atleast have been the best I've had in California other they taste so home made, my parents are from Sahuayo and La piedad wich is michoacan so we've had traditional Michoacan food I wil definitely tell everyone to go try this place and the waitress was excellent read more

Went for the corundas, and waited a long time for them just to be a tad bit disappointed. I think i will stick to homemade BUT the waitress was very nice. Just forgot to tell us they had a breakfast menu which is not listed on the menu read more

I have been there three times. The first visit was great. The service and the food were really good. The second visit, I noticed they changed the recipe of the steak ranchero plate. It was no longer good. The quality of the service dropped. I decided to give it another try; on my third visit, the waitresses seemed annoyed. I asked about them having coffee, it was after 2PM, she said they only had the morning brew. There was a waitresses walking around with a lolly pop in her mouth, I tried to get her attention, but she kept looking away. We won't be going back. read more

We really enjoyed our lunch here. My mom is from Michoacán MX and told me this was authentic Michoacán style food. The enchiladas and the morisqueta were on point. Everything came out fresh and were very good portions. Good flavor, felt like eating at my mom's. The restaurant was clean and organized. Our server was very nice and made us feel welcomed. It was slow during lunch hour so we got special attention. If you're from Michoacán, you won't be disappointed. If you love Mexican food and are looking to try something different, I highly recommend. read more

I ask for Morisqueta y tacos dorados ,The food was tasteless , the salsa for the tacos need improvement by doing with real ingredients and seasoning with salt pepper and oregano, the tacos taste like cardboard the chicken inside it's tasteless , the Morisqueta was in need of salt and the more time to cook you can taste the rice grains, the beans were form a can tasteless the salsa on the pork meat for the Morisqueta taste like salsa del pato ( horrible experience) read more

Disappointed in this place... it's frustrating to find places that "foodies" promote and charge restaurant's sooo much money to promote them and go viral.... and when you come for yourself to try them... the food is not good or it's not what they "promoted" on social media.. anyway, ordered some enchiladas Michoacánas de asada.. felt like I ate only tortillas dipped in sauce and a little bit of grilled onion and no cheese.. the meat was literally "beef jerky"... nothing compared to what was promoted on IG... I will post a screenshot of what is on IG and what I got.. FYI; prime example why not to believe everything on social media! For the restaurant Stay consistent would be my advice. read more

The food is terrible when they bring the food was so cold the enchiladas were just tortillas no meat inside or cheese the carne asada was terrible with a lot of nerve the service never came out to ask if we need anything read more

Their too slow. Messed up simple ceviche order. Next time come with some extra time to wait for food.

My wife and I were super excited to visit this restaurant after seeing all the pictures online. We ordered the enchilada plate with carne asada and potatoes. Well it was a huge disappointment! We will sadly not be returning to Riverside location. The carne asada was super tasteless and super dry not juicy like they show online same with potatoes dry and not fully cooked. It was a waste of our money. The enchiladas need meat inside unfortunately it was a poor quality onion enchilada with the tips of corn tortillas being hard. Maybe they microwaved them. The sauces are fantastic the waitress was super friendly other than that they get a fat F with quality of food. Sorry. read more
