Mezcal Old Fashioned.
Damon B.

When I tell my fellow Riv expats there's some nice new establishments back in the hood, they all look surprised. I get it. Look, I'll always have love for the OG RVSD establishments. That said, when you experience the panoply of offerings in LA, other U.S. cities, and other time zones, and find a location in your hometown that punches in the same weight class as some of these other zip codes, the joy is that much sweeter. Bar Ni Modo is bout the business and stands 10 toes down with these other foos. Cuisine: 5/5. As of my second experience, nothing disappoints. All of their salsas come correct! Quesadillas and carnitas are savory and flavorful. Beverages: 5/5. Mole Margarita. Say less. Plenty of sabor and bass to this one. Representing. Mezcal old fashioned and TQM are solid too. Service: 5/5. Yo, shout out to the servers! LA can learn a thing or two from y'all about hospitality and keeping it real. Respeto. Ambiance: 5/5. Playlist nothing but flames. Cumbia. Salsa Dura. Merengue. Corridos Tumbados, Corridos Bélicos. Dope interior style, plus the outdoor vibes at Farm House Collective. Say less. Buen provecho!

Came here for drinks and appetizers with a friend. The drinks were cute and we liked all the ones we tried. It was a bit busy but they were checking in often. Love the aesthetic as well.

I was really disappointed with our experience. We were the only people in the restaurant, yet the service was extremely slow, which didn't make much sense. Our server seemed to avoid our table and acted like she was having difficulty understanding us -- even though we were speaking English clearly. It made the whole interaction feel uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Overall, the lack of attentiveness and the way we were treated left a bad impression. I hope management works on improving both service and how guests are made to feel when they dine there. I was excited to show my family this restaurant but hey you can't win them all. The female server was rude and not kind.

New Bar at the Farmhouse Collective! Went here to meet up with some coworkers and it was great. $15 cocktails, that are delicious! We tried most of the cocktails and they were all unique but worked very well. All flavors were balanced. Hoping to come back soon to try the food. Service was great, the server was very accommodating. Ample indoor and outdoor seating. Located inside a shopping food mall so there's even seating outside of the actual bar.

Came here last night with some friends and was surprised:) loved the drinks and it was nice that they offer mocktails . All our drinks were very tasty

Chefs special

Went to Bar Ni Moro for the 2nd time and I can't stress that the food is so good. This time I had the chefs special ‍

Bar Ni Modo has easily become one of my new favorite local bars. Their clarita's cafecito is one of my favorites & always tastes good. The foam is always perfect. Staff is also kind and attentive. My fiancé also really enjoys their old fashioned. We went recently on Halloween and they were giving out complimentary pan de muerto with every order. It was delicious, I also loved how they decorated for dia de los muertos. Honestly just a gem of a spot & they always have some kind of event going on. A perfect place to grab a drink with friends or grab a small bite and hangout. :)

Located at the farmhouse collective. An intimate Mexican themed bar/restaurant with inside, bar top or covered patio seating. Parking can be limited during busier hours or during concerts. Warmly welcomed and attended to. Great service and food. We tried items from their brunch menu. Fresh ingredients bursting with flavor, great for sharing. Served 11am-3pm. Separate dinner menu. Cocktails or mocktails and sodas are available.

Outdoor seating

I have been here at least 5 times and I always have a wonderful experience every time. I love the coco mami drink--it's amazing for a sweet tooth like me that enjoys tropical flavours. The beef cheek tacos are also delicious! They are so well crafted and the flavour combination of the toppings & the beef cheek is complex in the best way. I get both every time. The menu is limited, but the few items that are on there are made very well. The service is amazing, with friendly staff that go out of their way to ensure that guests feel comfortable and well taken care of. Shout out to AJ & Sophia! I also like the ambiance. I enjoy the outdoor seating that allows you to stay connected to the rest of the Farmhouse. Indoor seating has a nice sort of hidden away vibe as well. Overall, I love this restaurant!

Torta de Chilaquiles
Alma R.

Second visit, this time for lunch and they did not disappoint!! All the food was amazing! This time around we tried the Carne Asada Hash, Panbazo, and Torta de Chilaquiles. The Hash is a new item and you can't go wrong with anything on their menu that includes their carne asada and salsa ranchera. We were skeptical about trying the Panbazo with their chicken chorizo but it had really great flavors and was cooked to perfection. The Torta de Chilaquiles was a flavorful combination of green chilaquiles with thick juicy chicken milanesa and pickled onions. The Tamarindo Lindo cocktail was recommended and did not disappoint, the flavors mixed nicely and made for easy drinking. The service was warm and friendly and Justin, the manager, personally checked in with each table. And the music was on point the whole time we ate, loud enough to sing along but quiet enough to have a conversation without raising your voice.

dirty maritinis

Cute bar in Riverside with upscale vibes. The cocktail menu is diverse and fun and they were kind enough to make us some dirty martinis although we had to get 'special permission' since off-menu drinks aren't allowed usually? I would come back, I'd like to try the other drinks. I do wish they had some more substantial food options as well.

We were attracted to the vibe just by walking by and decided to have a drink. Sat at the bar and had great service. Had a martini and a larger with a shot. We also tried pineapple rum. 8/10 for pink Aguachile. Fresh tostadas and it was marinated in hibiscus which was very unique and delicious with a slight touch of spice at the end. The best part was the drinks bar service! The bartenders were so kind and real. They really set the vibe and enhanced the ambiance. Place is very clean and the music inside is nice because it doesn't mix with the outside music.

Coco mami and pink martini

See all

We celebrated my grandma's 80th bday here. My uncle rented out the outdoors patio & small room…read moreadjacent to it from 1pm-4:30pm for an affordable price with deposit paid in advance to reserve. The owner, Santiago, allowed us to come a half hour beforehand to decorate & we came in, not knowing what to expect. Upon our arrival, the birthday cake was promptly whisked away to the kitchen, we found Santiago PERSONALLY on his hands & knees fixing the electrical cords for us, our servers introduced themselves & graciously helped us rearrange the set-up to accommodate the band we brought in. Then helped us rearrange the layout yet again once we realized the band needed to be next to the electrical outlets. I was embarrassed to even ask so I started doing it myself but they jumped right in without being asked. If I'm being honest, usually I'm not a fan of buffet meals, so I wasn't expecting much. But everything served was SO delicious! The fajitas were my favorite dish, not only flavorful but also nice & moist. Not only that, but they refilled the food for us as it ran out. They brought out to-go boxes for the leftovers, & best believe my family took home every last bite! The lime margarita tower was SO yummy but also hella dangerous because it was strong!! Other restaurants will give you watered down drinks but El Patron doesn't play. We were only planning on one but it was so good, we couldn't resist getting another. From start to finish, the servers (Leslie and Cecilia) were on POINT. Their service went above & beyond expectations-- continuously checking on us, refilling drinks/food, taking photos, etc. Not only that, but also, when my young autistic nephew unfortunately got sick, they were so incredibly compassionate about it & helped clean up the mess right away. I was absolutely blown away by the attention to detail & quality of care. As my grandma is getting older, we are especially cherishing these final years with her. We spent thousands overall (venue, music, photographer, special mass, etc) but every last cent was worth seeing her happy with all of her loved ones. After many months of planning, I was super nervous about something going wrong but I can honestly say that core memories were made. Thank you to Santiago, Leslie & Cecilia for your hospitality, good food & work ethic-- it truly meant so much for our family unit.

The food was delicious, the service amazing, and the place is really nice. They make you feel…read morewelcomed. We went for my mom's birthday and they went out of their way to make her feel special. Fernando made sure we had everything we needed, he was amazing. Definitely have to go back!
