    Mixto Ceviche (octopus and shrimp) with special tostada
    Ye L.

    This is the third Mexican restaurant in this location and I think we have a winner (actually, I was a fan of Mr Taco for years). The menu is pretty straightforward Baja Mexican tacos and burritos, as well as ceviche. The ceviche is what I come for and I think it's pretty darn good. Really fresh and tasty, spicy and tangy with a nice mix of seafood, onions, and avocado. Normally comes with a four pack of tostadas but this time the owner hooked us up with some green nopales tostadas and introduced us to eating it with a dab of mayonnaise between the tostada and ceviche. I'm already a ceviche fan but this really elevated it. Fish burrito is also yummy and well priced at $8 for a fairly large burrito. The beans are more flavorful than standard refried beans. Goes great with the four different salsas. Service has always been incredible for a fast casual restaurant. The staff always makes you feel welcome and cared for. I hope they can make the location work for them for a long time!

    The drive thru alone gives this place some points! The lady at the front was very kind. Our food came out quick and fresh. I had the fish taco plate and we tried the nachos. The nachos were okay. There were no cheese or meat under the pile of chips. So we basically had plain tortilla chips. Although the asada meat we had on top was really good though! The fish tacos were 10/10!! Loved it!

    Updating my review. And I can honestly say they stepped it up after my last review. I can actually say this is a pretty damn good fish taco. It's not the best fish taco I've had, but it's the best in this neighborhood. This time around I can finally taste the fish, which was really good, wish I had a little more sauce but next time I'll ask for more. I'll be back to try the other food. But this place deserves the high ratings.

    Great new restaurant, the staff is friendly and the food is awesome. I got the Al Paster Street Tacos 3 for $7.99 "Taco Tuesday Special"; with a 24oz Pacifico for $7.95. Came out to $17.34 and it was worth every penny of it to me at least. I highly recommend this place for Terrific Taco Tuesday if you're in Riverside, Ca off of Van Buren Blvd and Dauchy Ave. Take care and YAH Bless

    Surf & turf taco (good shrimps!), pastor n carne asada  All less than $13

    Fish and Chips, and assorted tacos.

    Having just gotten back from Baja Mexico (Bahía Concepción-Puerto Penasco) I was skeptical that Riverside would have good authentic Baja "shack" food. Let me just say it was fantastic, the fish and tacos were made with such fresh and amazing ingredients and the aqua Fresca was better than the ones I had in Mexico. We will be back soon!

    Fish taco combo plate, fried fish Baja bowl, beef taquitos

    We've had an excellent experience everytime we have eaten Baja Shack! So happy it is in town, great fish tacos/fish taco bowl. The birria burrito is really good and we've tried both of the shrimp ceviches and neither of those disappointed ! Our kids love it also! Really quick service, take out and dine in have both gone smooth, salsa bar was a plus!

    Birria Quesadilla
    Matthew W.

    Vibe is rad family owned and the food is killer! They absolutely make you feel like you're their long lost cousins from the good side of the family. Be back soon. Had the Birria quesadilla and the surf and turf taco. Absolute fire! Sealed the deal with a Modelo.

    Order chicken and got beef instead. On the receipt it says chicken. Just wasn't interested in eating beef for the day. Must be new owners

    Order a battered fish and shrimp tacos. The breading was bland. The fish and shrimp tasted stale and the tortillas were cold.

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!

The quesabirria was a one of my favorite things on the menu, one of the best I've had. Everything I had was top-notch! One of the best parts was the salsa bar. They had onions, cilantro, red sauce, green sauce, limes, everything you could want for your tacos. The service was quick, even with a large lunch crowd coming in. The restaurant filled up quickly, the dine-in seats were all about taken and the outdoor patio was filling up too. The parking lot was very limited and one way, so just know that when pulling in. I'd love to come back! 10/10 would recommend.

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*
