Our group got the chicharron and guacamole, Fajitas, Burrito mojado de carnitas and Torta de asada. Not sure if we were mistaken but we thought "chicharron" meant the actual meaty chicharrón but it's literally like the bagged one you get at any store minus the meaty part (if that makes sense lol) From what I was told the fajitas were good. The torta de asada was not at all tasty. The meat had no flavor and it was very dry. The burrito de carnitas was okay. Way too much rice and the ancho salsa was overly sweet. In our opinion the price did not match the flavor at all. We will give it another shot since it has great ratings but our experience was not the best.

Even though it has been several years since my last visit after moving out to Palm Desert, coming back reminded me why this place is so special. Dean, the owner, greeted me personally, and just as always, the service was top-notch from start to finish. You can't beat those fresh, warm tortillas right off the tortilla press--absolutely divine! Pair that with their incredible, fresh Southwest flavor and the absolute best salsa in all of the IE and OC. And of course, the margaritas are still just as good as I remembered! We came in to celebrate my big sister's birthday, as Riverside was the perfect halfway point for everyone. Even with a party of 10, the entire staff handled our group flawlessly and made us feel so welcome. Thank you, Anchos, for continuing to deliver amazing food and hospitality after all these years.

My pork pozole honestly tasted mainly like bouillon but it wasn't bad, just didn't taste like what you would expect pozole to taste like. The menudo was creamy and tasted good. The chilaquiles weren't crunchy but they also tasted good. I wouldn't come here for pozole again not only because of the taste but because you only got one size bowl for almost $17 which I wouldn't pay for again. But for everything else, depending on where I am and if I'm in the mood, I might stop by.

But I'm glad we chose Ay Mi Pa for my friend's graduation celebration. We came around 6-7 PM on a Saturday and surprisingly there wasn't much of a dinner rush yet. The place is huge with lively music and definitely gives more bar/club vibes as the night goes on. The aguachile was really good and flavorful. We also tried the espresso martini, which was a little too bitter for me. I ordered the Spicy Soltera and they accidentally brought me a different drink first. They let me keep that one and still brought out the correct drink, which was nice of them. And wow... definitely one of the spiciest drinks I've ever had. But I can't really complain when "spicy" is literally in the name. We chose the Jefe Skillet. It's massive and could easily feed three people. All the meats were really flavorful, the guacamole was great, and even the complimentary chips and salsa were good. The rice and beans were pretty average, but everything else made up for it. Overall, great food, huge portions, and a really fun atmosphere for a celebration. 8.5/10

It is literally a work of art; inside and outside, up and down, everywhere you look there is something so freaking cool to look at. **def walk around and get an idea of where you want to sit** There is a clear line outside the door, but when you come in you order, grab your #, and get your drinks before venturing off. If you didn't decide where you kinda want to sit you'll wander around deciding where you will actually sit. Back up front there are 2 salsas to help yourself to, pickled onions, along with some radish, onion, and cilantro BUT THE CARROTS?! OMG they are so freaking good!!!!!
