    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.

    Menu 6/13/2026

    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!

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!

We first visited on Valentine's Day in February and had an excellent experience. The pizzas were delicious, we were seated without a reservation, and we left excited to come back. Yesterday, we decided to bring a few friends with us because we had spoken so highly of the restaurant. We arrived a little after 1:00 p.m. on a Sunday, and the restaurant was fairly empty with only a handful of tables occupied. We were seated immediately, and our waitress was friendly throughout the meal. Each couple ordered pizzas along with appetizers and drinks. We ordered the Italian salad but were accidentally brought the Green Goddess instead. It was a harmless mistake, and since we had enjoyed that salad during our previous visit, we happily kept it. Our friends received their pizzas, and we assumed ours would follow shortly. Thirty minutes passed, and by then our friends were nearly finished eating. Meanwhile, we noticed several tables that had arrived after us receiving their food before we did. We asked our waitress to check on our order. She went back to the kitchen and returned, explaining that our pizza had apparently been forgotten and was only then being made. She assured us it would take no more than 10 minutes. Fifteen more minutes passed, and our pizza still hadn't arrived. Since we had a clear view of the kitchen, it didn't appear there was any urgency to get our order out. At that point, after waiting nearly an hour since placing our order, we had to cancel it because we had other plans and couldn't stay any longer. Our waitress apologized and removed the pizza from our bill, but that was the only resolution offered. While we appreciated her kindness, we left the restaurant disappointed and still hungry. Mistakes happen, and forgetting an order is understandable from time to time. What was most disappointing was how the situation was handled. After waiting an hour for a forgotten order, we had hoped for a more meaningful effort to make things right beyond simply removing the item we never received. It's unfortunate because we genuinely loved this restaurant after our first visit and were excited to introduce it to our friends. Thankfully, our friends enjoyed their meals, but this experience left us hesitant to return. Great pizza is important, but great service and how a restaurant responds when things go wrong are what keep customers coming back.

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!
