Lengua burrito with everything in it ($14.99): 3/5. It's not a large burrito, but about three-quarters of it filled me up for breakfast because of the rice and beans. The tortilla was soft and thin, which I appreciated. Lengua was delicate yet underseasoned, almost to the point of getting lost in each bite amongst the rice, beans, and cheese. The optional green and red salsas saved this bland burrito, so I recommend getting both salsas with whatever you get just in case. Service: 5/5. Knowledgeable staff. The girl who helped us at the register was friendly and down-to-earth. Food didn't take too long to come out, but it wasn't suspiciously fast, either. Our burritos arrived neatly wrapped and piping hot. Atmosphere: 4/5. Very casual, no-frills place. Inside tables and bathroom were clean. Extremely loud music was blasting from the fitness studio next door, but it wasn't super annoying since we were just gonna eat and go. Parking is free and aplenty in the plaza.

Salsa and Fries
Monique R.

Food was good. Place was clean. 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!..

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!

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. 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. 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.

Carne Asada (Steak) Taco
Lance G.

Great food and an even better experience! The restaurant was clean and spotless, 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!

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!

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!!

Bacon breakfasts burrito
Enrique V.

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

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.

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!

As a new mom, these meals are perfect for me when I want something a step or two up from Chipotle since it's challenging dining in with a baby. I just order online, roll up to one of the pickup parking stalls at the Lazy Dog, and take it home or enjoy in the car hobo-style (my preferred method). They even have impressive TV dinners for $10 (or less if you buy 5 or more) that are housemade, gourmet versions of those retro Hungry Man/Banquet frozen meals of yesteryear. AND WITH BOMBA$$ DESSERTS!! That small upper right hand pocket of foil contains a unique surprise that I live for. So far the pineapple upside down cake has been my fave. But the peanut butter cup brownie is a close second. Wish one came with their butter cake. Honestly my main concern when it comes to TV dinners is what dessert is included. So it was an added bonus that the dinners themselves were higher quality than expected! Lazy Dog made a wise pivot with their brand by capturing a larger demographic of casual diners with these bowls/TV dinners. I hope other chains like Cheesecake Factory and P.F. Chang's follow suit. Keep it up, LD!

Such a pleasant surprise!…read more I came here for breakfast with my aunt, and I honestly didn't know what to expect at first. The cafe is located inside a hair salon, which definitely caught me off guard and made me a little iffy about the experience. But after trying the food, I was SO pleasantly surprised! I ordered the chicken pesto panini with tomato soup, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the food honestly exceeded my expectations by a lot. I was genuinely surprised by how good it was. I also tried the iced matcha latte. I'll be honest -- the matcha quality wasn't my favorite. It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't come here specifically for the matcha. The food, however, completely made up for it and was definitely the highlight of my visit. The service was also really good. The woman at the front was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. She was very welcoming and helpful. The ambiance is definitely unique since it's inside a hair salon. It can be a little noisy with everything going on around you, and the seating is pretty simple and casual, but honestly, it wasn't nearly as loud or distracting as I expected it to be. Once I got settled in, it really wasn't a big deal. Overall, I came in with pretty low expectations because of the unusual setup, but the food completely surprised me. I'd definitely come back for the food!

The coating/sause was just a bit too oily/buttery for me...which I noticed in the brussels sprouts and other starters as well (which those who like that type of flavor would really enjoy I think). Just the oil/butter throws me off, otherwise great!

Oasis is always a win!…read more Oasis Vegetarian is hands down my favorite vegetarian spot in Riverside and the Inland Empire! I absolutely love their potato taquito plate, and their vegan cream (their version of sour cream) is SO good! I usually get double vegan cream instead of the avocado ginger since I'm not a fan of avocado. I've tried quite a few other items, too, and the plantain burrito, taco bowl, breakfast burrito, plantains, sweet potato fries, and ice cream sandwich are all delicious! They can be a little pricey, but the ingredients are incredibly fresh, and you can really taste the difference. In my opinion, it's worth every penny! They are attached to La Sierra Natural Foods Market, that sells vegan and vegetarian groceries. I have found some cool options in this market that are harder to find at the regular grocery store. They have seating for the Oasis outside and inside the market. The staff is always very nice. Just keep in mind that they're closed on Saturdays but open on Sundays. I always recommend Oasis Vegetarian to anyone looking for delicious vegetarian food in the area. Definitely one of my favorites!

Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and made with care, and it was clear that a lot of thought went into the menu. Brenda was very welcoming and happy to answer our questions. We'll definitely be making this a regular stop whenever we're in the Riverside area. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing vegan food!

Two in our party of 6 ordered this, one hot, one cold. Basil pesto, done right, is a fave of mine, and this one was very fresh and flavorful. Loved the roll, requested it be toasted and add a slather of mayo as well. The shredded chicken filling turned out juicy, not dry. The two of us were very impressed. The others had their own ideas. A Philly cheese steak, an Italian classic, a Beef and mushroom, a Chicken Parmesan. Minor grumbling over the two beef sandwiches, the Philly did not have enough cheese (I agreed), the Beef & Mushroom was a bit short on mushrooms. I tasted most of them and as for the Chicken Parm, I simply did not care for the marinara. Bottom line, I definitely will return for anything with pesto. Prices are very reasonable. We each chose the 8" size (medium). They were quite filling, with most of our party bringing one half home. The fries were amazing, a big hit as well. Both kinds, regular shoestring style and thicker beer battered with some skin, were seasoned nicely and deliciously fresh. If I had to choose, the beer batter style was the better. Carbonated drinks are serve-yourself, so yes, refills. There are a respectable number of tables and booths for seating inside, but none outside. After all these years, glad I tried them. We shall return!
