    Carne Asada (Steak) Taco
    Lance G.

    Great food and an even better experience! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean and spotless[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the service was fast, and everyone was incredibly friendly. I had the carne asada taco and the carne asada nachos--both were delicious. The salsa was excellent too. I'll definitely be back!

    All I have to say is wow! My burrito was so well put together. The ingredients were so fresh and tasty. I decided to try something different, which was their tongue burrito with cilantro, beans, cheese, rice, and pico de gallo. If you're out and about in Riverside, and in need of solid Mexican food, this is your place!

    Salsa and Fries

    Food was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cashier was nice. Plates came out quick. Coming from Santa Ana home of some of the best tacos and salsa its been very hard to compare. I try to always go back a second time because sometimes,it might just be what I ordered. Friendliness & cleanliness & customer service was a 9! Food and flavors I would give a 7. I guess the hunt for the best tacos in Riverside still continues!..

    Shrimp nachos
    Anna G.

    Stopped by Green Taco and tried a few things, the Breakfast Burrito with asada, a regular Asada burrito, and the Shrimp Nachos. The food was actually really good. The asada had great flavor, the breakfast burrito was super satisfying, and the shrimp nachos were loaded and definitely worth ordering again. Service was friendly and quick. Everyone behind the counter was welcoming and the food came out fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only downside is the location. It's a little sketchy outside, and I found myself keeping an eye on my car because of a couple of tweakers hanging around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nothing happened, but it definitely made me more aware of my surroundings. Overall, great food and great service, just be mindful of the area when you go.

    Steak feels like a good baseline on how to judge a Mexican restaurant. I don't think I will be back. Friendly staff and my food came out quick. The steak needed seasoning and it and dry. It was decent when you put the entire plate into a tortilla, but the steak on its own needs help. Pretty good horchata. Go and add a splash of French vanilla creamer. The sides of rice and beans are okay. Nothing to write about. Guacamole and pico are good enough where they add a bit of freshness; this also includes the lettuce. Music in the background, place is pretty clean. The only reason why I came here I was the guy from Tik Tok who reviewed this spot. Good luck and positive vibes to this restaurant!

    Bacon breakfasts burrito
    Enrique V.

    Great food, great service at a reasonable price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything looked so clean as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bacon breakfast burrito was really flavorful and not greasy at all.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Skyy _.

    Easily the best Breakfast Burrito I've ever had. - I got a three meat breakfast burrito w/ asada, chorizo, and bacon! Another stand out was the service and how amazing the staff was, given my first time here. Will definitely be back!!

    Carne Asada (Steak) Burrito. (Too small)
    Aaron A.

    I went here because they say it was a hidden gem on TikTok said they had giant burritos and this place was really good. Unfortunately, the burritos were average size. Maybe even on the smaller side. Paid $31 for one burrito and a couple of street tacos. Definitely not worth it. Disappointed, the taste was really good but for the price and the portion size could've got a much bigger burrito from chipotle or something, and probably save money. This is also one of those burritos where it's 85% beans and rice 15% meat. The staff was really good no complaints. They get offered me a lot of hot sauce, but besides that I won't be coming back.

    Came in after seeing the online reviews, just looking for a few street tacos. 3-4 maybe. When I saw their street tacos were $5.25 EACH. I thought that was wild! I didn't even want to try them any more and had to leave. There's no reason for a single street taco to be over $5. Smh

    Mini-taco
    Jason F.

    This review is long overdue for one of my favorite small Mexican places in Riverside. The mini tacos are always good especially the pastor! Big menu with breakfast too, long hours and the wait time is minimal, family owned place I get my lunch at all the time! Shout out to Gabby and Reuben!

    Menudo!

They pointed me in the direction but I didn't retain the info and wandered in the direction I thought. There were signs but not for Mission Inn Restaurant. I found it. Went to the hostess stand for her to lead me to my party. Our waiter was an older man that was personable and jokey. I just couldn't help looking around and then hearing stories about it about how there's new owners and the previous stole art, etc. The ambiance, your surroundings is better than the food. Foods okay. Someone else paid and maybe if I paid, I would've not enjoyed it as much. Service was good. My next visit, I think, is drinks and more wandering. Not sold on the hotel or spa yet.. maybe try other restaurants there. I think there is 3?

After waiting for quite a while and realizing no one was coming to serve us, I had to get up and go ask for our drinks myself. The service was very poor. We paid $550, and honestly, it felt like money thrown away. I would not recommend this place because of the terrible service.

    This is a solid, upscale coffee shop in Downtown Riverside. I've been to their other locations as…read morewell, but mostly visit Bakehouse and Downtown. As far as options go, I think there's a decent selection of more unique syrups for coffees. They do change it up throughout the year. The drinks here are definitely more of a premium price point, but I think they're generally good. On this particular trip, I wanted to try their new syrup flavor (it was some form of orange zest, or something similar?), but noticed my latte had no real flavor in it after a few sips. Upon looking at the receipt, the person who took my order just gave me a regular cafe latte and didn't add the syrup I requested. The coffee was fine, but I would have liked trying something new. I have gotten several of their food options before, and I think that some of them are well-priced for the portion and some can be more on the expensive side. I think the avocado toast was pretty robust and was a good value. The steak and eggs are somewhat hit or miss, and I have had it multiple times. The cut of the meat can be chewy at times, and then also more lean and tender other times. Sometimes it comes with large pieces of chewy fat, which isn't quite to my taste. The sandwich options generally are a good value. I do kind of wish they switched up their menu a bit more often, since this current menu is rather basic and they have had more interesting food options before. Overall, a decent choice for a more premium coffee, tea, and food for the Downtown/UCR area of Riverside. Service is okay, and I have had somewhat mixed experiences with that. The employees generally seem pleasant and they're nice, but I have gotten incorrect orders at least a couple of times. During this particular visit, in which the photos are from, I had to ask two different people to get extra napkins. Our actual server was the first to acknowledge, then possibly forgot and didn't come back.
