Enchilada and Chicken Taco plate
Angel L.

Location is large and cute. The staff is hot and miss, there are a few employees who are on the ruder side and don't listen well, are short and not friendly or helpful, and do not get orders correctly often. Food is good, comes out pretty hot and fresh and the quantity and prices are good especially the happy hour and daily specials

salsa bar

i love jose's! it's my favorite local mexican restaurant. i feel like it's super underrated given the staff are always so generous and nice. the service is quick, they offer a complimentary chips and salsa bar, and their prices are amazing for the portion size. their brunch is also sooo good, i can't recommend it enough!

California Chicken tacos
Missteree C.

This is my first time eating here. We were excited to try it. We ordered in-person but take-out. A chicken tortilla soup, a taco salad and my two California chicken tacos. I am reviewing the chicken tacos and they were terrible. A huge tortilla which I couldn't figure out if it was corn or flour. It was not yellow so my guess is that it was flour. It was awful. The chicken was bland. I cannot deal with a soggy taco and these were but that tortilla was so thick it couldn't sog. Their salsas were great. I was so happy with the service from Misty I promised to go back. But this was a waste of money. $12 for 2 awful tacos is something that I would not do again. Tacos should be every Mexican restaurants top seller.

In a rush? SKIP THIS PLACE Ordered a short stack of pancakes to go, they worked on every order except this one until the manager came out. Pancakes were not a crazy request for it to take this long. People had 5-10 items come out rapidly while my one item was overlooked. Rating 5/10

Carne asada sope
Eli M.

Wow It was great The food, the prices and the service 100% recommend The chips and salsa they were fresh and all you can have Molcajete salsa was my favorite

The staff: Angela, Jessica and all the great staff will help you choose the perfect brew for your taste. The vibe here is always positive. We try to roll thru on Saturdays to see what's playing on their stage. The scene: Line dancing, karaoke, rock and metal dj's, folk music, 90's covers all can be found and heard here on the Ritual stage. There's always something for everyone. We landed here on a 90's night, last time, with an excellent 90's cover band on their stage. We'll be heading back to see them, tomorrow! Check out Ritual's social media for updated music schedules and beer releases.

MANY BREWS TO CHOOSE!…read more Ritual Brewery has got to be the best micro brewery in Redlands! There is so much to like about the brewery, and so much this place has to offer that I can only ask that you experience it yourself. To name a few highlights of the brewery... first of all it is one of the more chill places to go to. The ambiance of Ritual Brewery is casual, friendly, and welcoming. The staff here are all awesome! They have a nice size indoor and outdoor seating area for visitors. They are family and dog friendly. They have a new brew for everyone to discover and enjoy. My personal favorite is the Extra Red. I tried just about their whole menu over some time and at least half-a-dozen visits before deciding which one was my favorite. Moreover, if you walk in looking for a specific kind of beer, you might as well go pick that beer up at the store and stay out. This brewery is a place to experience and appreciate new beers. Many of their beers are IPAs, Ales, Pale Ales, and Blondes. Check out the picture of their menu to get a better idea of all that they have. Not to mention, they have very reasonable prices for their drinks compared to probably most breweries - so don't be a Sorry Sue and complain about how the prices for a beer is expensive and that only the soda is good - but you had the nerve to visit 10 times. Oh! Also, there is often an excellent food vendor there most nights, so you can get a meal with your drink. CHEERS!

I came here for the first time after a stressful few weeks, and I absolutely loved the…read moreexclusiveness and hidden-away feeling this place offers. For most of the night, I had a great time minding my own business, watching videos quietly on my phone in a corner of the bar. As I was getting ready to leave, a random guy sitting nearby asked me to lower the volume on my phone. Whether he intended to be polite or not, it felt condescending, territorial, and completely unnecessary. They were speaking louder than my phone, yet somehow my phone was the issue. It honestly felt like a case of "local syndrome," where someone felt empowered to tell me what to do in a place that isn't theirs. I didn't want to create a scene, so I generously tipped the bartender and left. But I was genuinely upset that I was told to be quiet while I was simply minding my own business in a corner. The place itself does not deserve a bad review because of the actions of one customer. However, if this person is in any way connected to management or staff, I would seriously reconsider my rating and change it to one star--something I never done before. I think a little more compassion and understanding toward fellow customers would go a long way.

Hey Brian, I wanted…read moreto reach out about something that happened tonight that I feel you should know about. I also want to be clear that all of this transpired after you had already left for the evening. For context, I'm a regular at the bar and have been coming in for quite a while. I've never had a major issue with Brent or Steven, even though they both have personalities that can come across as sarcastic or abrasive. I've generally let it go because my reason for coming to the bar is simple: I come in to have a few beers, relax, and enjoy myself. Tonight, while I was still drinking one of my beers and had some left in the glass, Brent came by and took it away as if I was finished. I jokingly said something along the lines of, "I guess you're not going to let me finish the last bit." I wasn't upset and wasn't trying to start an argument. It was an obvious mistake that could have been solved with a simple apology. Instead, he responded with a snarky comment rather than acknowledging the mistake. Later, he brought another beer to my table. I made eye contact with him and before I could even say anything, he asked, "Do you want to say something to me?" I replied, "No, I just wanted to say thank you." His response was, "Your eyes are telling me differently." Again, I found that unnecessarily confrontational and disrespectful. At that point, I decided to leave a $0 tip. I normally tip very well, often around 30% or more, and this was the first time I've intentionally left no tip because I wanted to send a message that I was unhappy with the way I was being treated. After that, Steven came over and confronted me about leaving no tip. He asked if I was really zeroing it out and questioned me about whether something had happened between me and Brent. I told him that whatever issue I had was not his concern, and he responded, "Fair enough." I assumed that would be the end of it. Instead, Brent came outside and confronted me. He told me Steven had said I had a problem with him. I explained that I didn't have a personal problem with him; my issue was his attitude and the way he was treating me as a customer. Rather than listening, he became increasingly hostile. I reminded him that I'm a customer and that I'm only there to buy beer from the business. I'm not there to deal with sarcasm, attitude, or an employee's emotions. As a paying customer, the minimum I expect is basic respect. I shouldn't have to walk on eggshells or accept being spoken to disrespectfully while simply trying to enjoy a beer. That confrontation ended poorly and he went back inside. A short time later, he came back out and confronted me again, this time in front of other customers. The situation became even more uncomfortable because it was happening publicly. During that exchange, he ultimately told me that I was not welcome back. Again, I reminded him that I am a paying customer whose only purpose in being there is to support the business and enjoy a beer. I should not be getting into arguments with employees, being confronted in front of other patrons, or being told I'm not welcome because I expressed concerns about how I was being treated. The bigger issue is that, in my opinion, this isn't just about tonight. This has been months in the making. I've noticed a pattern with both Brent and Steven where they seem to have become comfortable treating customers with attitude and sarcasm in ways that shouldn't be acceptable in a customer-facing role. I've overlooked it many times because I enjoy the bar and didn't think it was worth making an issue out of. On the other hand, employees like Kim, Josh, and David have always treated me and other customers with professionalism and respect. They know how to joke around while still making customers feel welcome. I've never had an issue with them. From my perspective, the problem is specifically Brent and, to a lesser extent, Steven. Brent especially has developed a demeanor that I find unwelcoming, confrontational, and disrespectful toward customers. I don't think I'm the only person who feels this way. Tonight was simply the point where it crossed a line. I'm not sending this because I want anyone fired or punished. I simply think you should know what happened, especially since it all occurred after you had left. I've spent a lot of time and money at your establishment over the years, and I would hope that customers--especially regulars--can expect basic courtesy and respect from the people serving them. I wanted to give you my side of the story directly. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Such a great collection of Korean, Vietnamese, some Thai dishes as well as boba and new fusion food. My husband is from the OC and I'm from LA and we're excited to see authentic Asian food in the IE! It's a one page menu, but definitely requires more than one visit to try everything. We tried the hotpot tom kha soup and tonkatsu this time as well as wings and matcha drink. Everything was not only authentic but seriously good. My friend loves the banh mI here and I can't wait to come back for the bulgogi rice bowls and Korean rice cakes. Might order online next time to take home - they have ordering available on their site. I love hotpot, especially in colder weather, probably go for banh mi, rice dishes, and boba in the warmer weather. That said, it was 100 degrees outside and we got the hotpot anyway and loved it. The staff and service is super sweet and ready to answer questions. Their are not many places like it in the IE so they're used to explaining it to people who are trying something new. Definitely going to recommend it to friends trying shabu shabu/ hotpot for the first time, and definitely going to be back soon. Pro tip: come a bit early to avoid crowds. We got there just before 6 and people started filling in shortly after.

I left a great review here 10 months ago and recently came back after their reopening. I'm glad the…read moreowner added new things and adapted the restaurant to better serve the local audience, and thankfully, the flavors are still great! However, as a regular who loves their shabu, there are a few things to note. First, it is no longer unlimited veggies for the shabu portion. While I understand updating the menu, it would be helpful to explicitly list this so regulars aren't caught off guard. Charging $7 for extra veggies feels a bit high (for $2 more, you can get a whole sandwich). I wish there was a smaller individual option just for extra noodles or extra veggies, instead of a mandatory $7 flat rate if you only want one or the other. Service definitely has some room for improvement right now. We ordered a pork belly banh mi about 15 minutes before paying. While we were sitting and waiting for it, the waiter tried to charge us a second time. It was a funny mix-up, but afterward, he kept staring at us like he wanted us to leave. They were getting busy, but we were literally just waiting for our food to go! Additionally, despite it being a Friday night, the front-of-house felt a bit unorganized. There weren't many open tables, but several uncleared tables remained dirty for a while. Staff told arriving customers to "sit anywhere," which left people visibly confused--especially first-timers who didn't understand why there were burners on the tables. I even heard two tables next to us ask for recommendations, and the waiters weren't very helpful. They actually spent more time watching our table eat because we knew how to do the dipping process. We had to explicitly ask for our dipping sauces and chili drops. The staff didn't even mention the signature sauces to the new tables when taking their orders. I almost wanted to lean over and tell the other tables what to ask for! Overall, the kitchen still makes delicious food, but the waitstaff needs to be much better trained on the menu and basic service flow.

Definitely a fun spot for a fancy cocktail--or, in my case, a mocktail. I ordered the Hibiscus Cooler and LOVED it. The food was more of a mixed bag. I ordered the Poblano Burger, and the deep-fried poblano was SO good. Unfortunately, I ordered the patty medium and it came out overcooked. The fries were also a little undercooked, and the burger could have used more sauce. Tasty overall, just not quite hitting the mark. Then came dessert... and this is where the experience really went downhill. I ordered the crème brûlée because I've had it elsewhere and had been craving it. While waiting, I stepped away to use the restroom. When I came back, my entire table--including my drinks--had been cleared. I had literally just ordered dessert and never indicated I was finished. The server seemed confused when I questioned it, which made the whole thing even more awkward. And unfortunately, the crème brûlée itself was also a miss. The sugar topping was torched too long and had a noticeably bitter, burnt flavor. The server (and possibly a manager) apologized, and I was given $2 off the drink, which I appreciated. Between the okay food and the especially strange service and lack of communication the experience left me disappointed. The atmosphere is definitely the highlight, but for me, the service experience was enough to say I probably won't be back anytime soon.
