    Chilaquiles green
    Tracy S.

    Cute artsy-fartsy instagramable vibe. Radio is playing pop music. Hard metal chairs. Fake plastic plants on each table. You order and tip at the counter - they have no table service at all. When your drink and then food is ready they call you to come pick it up. I ordered the El Chino to drink. It is advertised as Vietnamese coffee I wish they had the shaved ice that usually goes in Vietnamese coffee. Water is available in a big crock that anyone can help themselves. Bendy straws. Paper towels as napkins. I also got green chilaquiles. It comes with lots of cheese and a little onion and 2 eggs. Chips are very toasty. Nothing is great that I tried. It's ok food in uncomfortable chairs.

    The service was okay, and so was the atmosphere and the food. The only thing that really stood out to me was the coffee I ordered because honestly, I was a little disappointed. Nothing against the place at all, but... I honestly didn't enjoy the Spanish latte. It was very strong and watery, and the cinnamon flavor was way too overpowering. I've had Spanish lattes at other places, so I was expecting something creamier, sweeter, and more balanced. This one tasted more like a cinnamon shaken espresso than a Spanish latte. I think it might be worth reconsidering the base of the drink and what a Spanish latte is meant to taste like. Unfortunately, it just wasn't what I was expecting.

    Bacon breakfast burrito and churro latte.

    My granddaughters surprised me with a trip to Buenos Dias for coffee. I had my usual, cafe de olla but this time in Mexican pottery. My girls had their iced creamy sweetness ( can't remember the names on the counter) and a bagel and bacon breakfast burrito. Service continues to be stellar and I love the new umbrellas! I love sitting outside. See you soon!

    I'm glad I found Buenos Dias cafe. I always get their loaded burrito with ham & chorizo. They have plenty of options for proteins (ham, bacon, sausage, turkey, weenies) They have some seasonal drinks that rotate - I've really enjoyed the blueberry matcha latte (not a seasonal drink, they have it all the time) Sometimes they do a military discount when I'm in uniform & that's really great, I truly appreciate it!!!

    I came here on a Monday morning to get me a coffee and some breakfast. I ordered the "La Rubia y La Morena drink which I personally really enjoyed! I also purchased their loaded burrito w/ chorizo and I also really enjoyed it! I definitely do recommend this place if you're wanting to try a new coffee shop on the area. They also had pan Dulce on display along with other pastries! If you're one to be in a rush in the mornings I wouldn't recommend this place as I did have to wait about 15 minutes for my coffee and then I was also mistakenly given someone else's burrito at first. The ambiance of this coffee shop Is definitely an eye catcher as it is very "trendy" and worth visiting for those cute IG photos.

    Chilaquiles

    One of my favorite coffee shops in Riverside is Buenos Dias Cafe. Established in 2024 and owned by Mexican Latinas, this place brings a great Mexican twist to coffee. They offer drinks like horchata latte, dulce de leche latte, churro latte, and other unique flavors that you don't usually see at typical coffee shops. Their food is just as good too. I ordered the chilaquiles along with a churro latte and both were excellent. A fun surprise today was that the barista happened to be the sister of one of my basketball players, and she signed fluently to take my order, which was a great bonus for me. The shop might be located in a slightly unexpected area, but it's absolutely worth the visit if you're anywhere near downtown Riverside or just in the city in general. Great drinks, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere. I've also heard they have another location in Colton too.

    Burritos aftermath

    the first time I order the chilaquiles verdes was like the scene in ratatouille where the reviewer is brought back to childhood with his favorite dish. This is the first time I had chilaquiles that strongly resembled my father's, the green sauce has a strong taste of tomatillos.The tortillas are perfectly crispy. And the queso is perfect every time. Ever since I've came here my partner and I alter between the chilaquiles and the burrito. The burrito is a perfect size, the potatoes always perfectly toasted, soft, and evenly diced. The staff has always been more than exceptional, and friendly enough to remember my name! It's always fresh inside, the music is always good. I've heard them play from los caifanes to the cure. Whoever is on aux knows what's up. Overall go here if you're genuinely drawn to it!

    Cozy neighborhood cafe thats brightly decorated with traditional and contemporary Mexican art. The menu has a nice variety of Mexican favorite tortas, burritos and chilaquiles with your choice of proteins including weenies! Also a nice selection of poncho options like bagels or avocado toasts! Very witty and clever. Loved the horchata latte as well as a great selection of teas. The staff were all friendly and helpful. I would give them 5 stars except items were missing from our order. They were nice enough to fix the problem without question when I asked for the missing items.

    new obsession! I've always passed by this area but never actually stopped to check out what it was. Who knew we had this little hidden gem all along. First off, my favorite thing here is definitely the food. It's not often you see a place offer weenies as a protein for a burrito. It's simple yet so good and reminds me of being a child eating weenies and eggs. Their burritos are also pretty big so it's definitely worth it. I tried their chicken tamale as well and loved it. For my drink I ordered an iced matcha with oat milk and vanilla. I do tend to like my matcha pretty sweet and it wasn't really doing it for me upon first sip. I did ask for more vanilla syrup and then it tasted fine. I like that they also offer agua frescas. Last time I came I got my mom horchata and it tasted really good. It's just a nice little spot to hangout and get some brunch. :)

    I came here to try their breakfast burritos and wow were they delicious!! I decided to get a strawberry matcha and that was so good! The employee recommended it and she did a great job! She was kind and helpful! The protein I chose for my breakfast burrito was turkey and that was yummy! It also had breakfast potatoes and egg inside! It is small inside but they have tables inside and outside! They also have a parking lot! I can't wait to come back!

    Fresh conchas, soft and delicious

    Food was good! My husband loved the burrito. Cute inside. The fresh horchata, cafe de olla and conchas were so so good! No tamales today but when we're back in town we'll go again for sure.

    This lil' Latin Café is located on the corner of 14th St. & Grove Ave. across the street from Abraham Lincoln High School with plenty of parking on both sides of the building. No drive-thru. The Café is on the smaller side yet enough tables to enjoy your meal, as well as outdoor seating. Clean and organized. All drinks are 16 oz, served hot or iced. My sister brought me here for coffee this morning. I tried their 'Breakfast Burrito with Bacon', an iced 'La Rubia y La Morena' drink (which is a Caramel Macchiato), and a 'Cinnamon Muffin' for the road. The burrito was incredibly delicious, simply satisfying. The Macchiato was one of the best I've had. Prices are reasonable. The service was great. Shout out to 'Araceli', who was very welcoming and friendly. Overall, we had a good breakfast experience here and will definitely return to try other menu items.

    Went here because it was near my school and wanted a quick coffee. The ambiance was super cute and they were decorating for Christmas. It seemed busy for a Monday morning and there was a lot of people so I was scared of it not being fast as I was in a hurry. I got the La Güerita latte (vanilla bean latte) and a pumpkin empanada. The latte was overly too sweet for my liking and you could not taste the coffee. It came with cold foam which was my fault I didnt know it did. The empanada was good. I feel like my rating is only based on their coffee and their food may be way better but from a coffee standpoint, not the best and not my favorite.

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
