Reviews were good, local hole in the wall, let's find out... Service is counter, friendly and nice. As befits the current economy, prices are a bit higher for a local lunch. Food was excellent, enjoyed my Kafta very much although I would have preferred a grilled tomato and peppers like other places have. Bread was good, rice was good. Soda refillable :-) I will definitely try again when in the city. Recommended!!

Tried Georgie's Mediterranean in Riverside and it definitely delivered…read more I got a chicken shawarma bowl with fries as the base, and also a plate with both chicken and beef shawarma. The bowl was really good using fries instead of rice honestly made it hit way harder. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, and everything on top tied together really well without feeling too heavy. The combo plate was just as solid. The chicken was tender, the beef had a nice char and flavor, and both tasted fresh. Portions were generous too--definitely didn't feel like they were skimping. Everything tasted authentic and well-made, not dry or bland like some Mediterranean spots can be. Sauces brought it all together without overpowering the meat. Service was quick and the spot has a casual, no-frills vibe--just good food that comes out fast. Overall, really solid Mediterranean spot in Riverside. Good portions, good flavor, and worth coming back to.

We were feeling Mediterranean and decided to try out a new place…read more First off the service and delivery were great. The food arrived on time, the order was correct, and it came all the way from Riverside. I'm not sure on the ambiance because I had the food delivered. As for the food, i opted for the combo plate. It came with 3 pieces of steak, chicken, and 1 Kefta kabob, rice, 2 sides, and pita bread. They have a lot of sides to choose from but I don't like that there's an up charge to substitute salad for rice so I got the rice. I love that they allow you to select how you want your beef cooked. I ordered Medium and it was cooked perfectly. The kefta kabob was well seasoned and packed full of Mediterranean spices (delicious). The chicken was full of flavor, cooked all the way through and tender. The rice was full of flavor. I've never had Mediterranean food with rice like this. You may or may not like it. I enjoyed the extra flavor than just having white rice. The tabbouleh was fresh and gave my meal some brightness. The pita bread was a disappointment for me. You could tell it's store bought or not freshly made. You can taste the flour or starch on it. It was dry and not good. It reminded me of the Pita bread in the bakery section of food4less. The other disappointing element to my meal was the cucumber yogurt (tzatziki) I don't like that the cucumber was cubed and it was watery. It lacked that cucumber flavor and it appeared to be prepared watered down intentionally. It was even lacking that tart yogurt taste because it was so thinned out. Overall, it was still a fairly good meal. I would suggest making or buying better pita bread. I would be willing to try it again because the meat was delicious and I'd get hummus instead of the cucumber yogurt.

We saw it on the way to our appointment and we decided to go in and try it. The restaurant is really clean and the staff was nothing short of amazing. They were very kind and courteous, you don't get much of that nowadays. We ordered a bunch of food but my favorite food here were the picaditas! Reminded me of my mom's picaditas. The chilaquiles were by far the best of had as well. Would definitely return to this spot!

Don't come here hungry!! The wait to get your food is…read moreridiculous. Waiter was nice. Simple Brunch menu, not many options though. We ordered menudo, enchiladas divorciadas con bistec, and a 7mares. The food took over half an hour to come out. Note, with that long wait, the chips and salsa should be free but it's not. They charge you for chips and a small thing of salsa. The menudo was delicious and had great flavor. The 7 mares, was sweet but lacked flavor. I had to add a bunch of salt which normally I never do at other restaurants. The seafood was cooked nicely, but it lacked vegetables. No calabasas/zucchini in it. No crab. I think it had 5 seafoods in it only (shrimp, octopus, muscle, fish, scallops) The chilaquiles weren't nothing to rave about. The pineapple water was watered down. It had a slight pineapple flavor with sugar. The coffee was watered down too. The handmade tortillas were thick and hard. This is a one and done for me. The wait is not worth the food. The menudo was the only thing good but I'd rather go somewhere else that offers free chips and everyone in my group will have great food. This was not it

These aren't just burgers, they're the best rated LA burgers now brought to Riverside, and the hype is 100% real and deserved. What sets Urban Skillet apart before you even take a bite is the integrity behind the food 100% non-GMO, grass-fed, organic, and halal. You're not just eating something delicious, you're eating something you can feel genuinely good about. And the flavor? Every single item on the menu is addictive. I have yet to find a miss. The side sauces alone are absolutely elite!!!! The kind you think about days later and use as your excuse to come back sooner than you planned. Knowing that this place started from humble beginnings , literally setting up tents and grew into the brick and mortar gem it is today in Riverside makes every bite taste even better. You can feel the passion, the pride, and the hard work baked into everything they do. The staff moves at the speed of light, endlessly accommodating and genuinely friendly every single time. I've dined in and DoorDashed multiple times and it's always amazing, that consistency is rare and speaks volumes. Urban Skillet deserves every single star and more. A true Riverside treasure.

I order a plate of chile verde, and it is absolutely phenomenal. It is tender, flavorful and seasoned. This is definitely not one of those places that is afraid of seasoning their food! They, of course, bring out chips and salsa with freshly made salsa. That's got a spicy kick to it. It's a family-owned restaurant, and it feels like it. You see the family working there, and there's something wonderfully comfortable and authentic about the whole place. They're attentive and friendly. After spending a couple of days in San Diego where, for one reason or another, we just could not seem to get a satisfying Mexican meal, we finally said, "We need Olivia's." We made our way back to Riverside for our chile verde, and it was exactly the reprieve we needed. Consistently delicious, full of flavor, and one of those dependable local places you're grateful to have (except when we accidentally come when they're closed). If you like chile verde, this place is a must. Eventually, I need to try something else on their menu. Technically, she did get chile verde huevos rancheros.

Firstly, the restaurant itself is cozy and there are a limited amount of seats. The better option is ordering take out.

It is absolutely loaded with meats (halal) and veggies. I am yet to try their subs. Perhaps next visit. If you're in the area then please do stop by Slice N Sub!
