    I like the burritos from here and the salsa selection is good. They have four hot sauce offerings and each was really good on its own. I like the tortillas, they really hold up well and didn't rip at a time. The burrito filling is good but what I hate is that it wasn't consistent. Like I could have two ingredients throughout and get a pinch of avocado in the middle and a pinch of pico de gallo at the end. It's pretty uneven and that was disappointing. The staff is helpful and the dining room is clean... so I think I will be back and just mention that issue when I order. Hopefully that will improve the experience.

    The spot for Burritos!!! Great food, great service, definitely recommend to checkout. Good music while eating.

    Carne Asada Quesadilla
    David C.

    Came into the blue burro to try the place out as I was in the shopping center and had never been there before. They have pretty good options with decent pricing for today's economy. The service was great and so was the food. I got a carne asada quesadilla and it was good. The combo came with fries and a drink. The ambiance was pretty generic for restaurants but the place was clean overall. They offer a sofa machine, but also have options of aguas frescas. Overall, good food, and good service.

    Blue's Famous Rolled Tacos and caramel iced coffee
    Roxanne C.

    So...let me preface by saying I'm here like...at least 2-3 times a week. With that said, this is the healthiest, freshest, tastiest spot for burritos, tacos and taquitos. Also, my caramel iced offee made with cafe bustelo is a perfect addition. The service is ALWAYS the best. It's a great spot to hang and grrruuuubbb. I love this place soooo much. I can't get enough! My favorite are Blue's Famous Rolled Tacos and Adobada burrito. Yuuuuuummmm...

    100/10 Delicious! We ordered potato taquitos, surf and turf salad and taco, and carne Adobada tacos. Everything was made fresh, w/ quality ingredients.and great service! Very clean, indoor and outdoor seating.

    Surf and Surf -N-Turf Burrito
    Alexia S.

    While the location is ideal and the place is clean and cute, the food is not good especially for the price. I ordered the surf and turf and it was a salad wrapped in a tortilla-- little to no meat. My husband and mom ordered breakfast burritos and they stated the eggs and meat lacked flavor. The green salsa was good the red had no flavor and the fries were tasty.

    First impression walking in, I was hopeful because customer service was really great. Bright atmosphere with super friendly and welcoming workers. However, food was just OK. My husband got a carne asada burrito w/ beans. Most of his bites were just guac and the tortilla which was kind of a let down. We also ordered a side of fries and ended up getting chips instead. I will say the carne asada fries made up for it; they were pretty good. Other than that, I won't be going out of my way to come back here but I'm intrigued to see how the other food tastes.

    I am honest when I say that I was expecting more for something that cost me this much. I spent 16 and a half dollars on a Surf and Turf bowl that was smaller than something I could have gotten from a fast food restaurant. The only thing that I felt was positive was the smiling staff.

    Stopped by here on a whim. I was looking for breakfast burrito and this place seemed decent. It is located in the university village shopping center with lots of food options. Loved the vibe here. They had good music playing and since they had just opened, I was one of the first customers of the day. The gentleman helping me was very nice. It looked like they had an ordering kiosk as well but I didn't use it. I ordered the chorizo burrito. I wish I would have payed better attention because on Tuesdays they have $2 iced coffee. Would have loved to get one but I had already ordered and paid. I just had to wait a short time and my order was ready. Took my burrito back to the office and it was pretty good. It wasn't super greasy as expected. It had chorizo, hash brown, cheese and egg. I enjoyed it very much and would love to go back to try some lunch options and maybe an iced coffee.

    I am very glad that I happened across this option at University Village! I was impressed by the freshness of the Pollo Asada Burrito and the Shrimp Salad Wrap. There a subtle uniquess of flavor in the meal, and the blue horchata really stood out as a tasty and unique treat! The service was prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere was fun My only complaint is that I don't believe there was a good mild option of salsa, to go with the chips in the combo. However, I believe that there are $7 salad wrap combos without chips, and I certainly plan to return!

    Chorizo breakfast burrito & tater tots

    I wanted to check Blue Burro out since I kept seeing the food and drinks on Instagram. Let me just say, it wasn't what I expected. The food is very average tasting and you don't get a lot of meat. I got the surf and turf fries and it was mostly fries unfortunately. It was also a small portion for $16 and nothing really tasted amazing. My husband got the chorizo breakfast burrito and he opened it up to add salsa and it was mostly tortilla. What a bummer, I had high hopes for this spot. I also got a pineapple milkshake and it lacked pineapple flavor. The staff is super friendly, but I don't think I will be back. There's better Mexican spots around the area with more meat for the same price.

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.

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.

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
