Samantha Santana is such a great waiter I really enjoyed my experience here the other day and the food was so delicious thank you

Had lunch here today and everything was excellent. The ambiance was surprising considering this restaurant is in a strip mall. Decor was classy but modern. We started our meal with the shrimp crostini, my husband actually looked at me and said "oh so we're going there"...meaning full experience okay but because of the description I had to try it! It was amazing, savory with just a little kick of spice. My husband got the fish tacos and says they're the best he's ever had. I had the chicken bowl, packed with bold flavors. Fresh, colorful plates all around. Service was very accommodating and friendly, actually all the staff was welcoming -- we'll definitely be back! read more

This was my first visit, and I must say, what a gem this place is! It was such a pleasant surprise, and you wouldn't expect to find food this good tucked away in a small shopping center. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by friendly staff. The restaurant has a modern, sleek atmosphere that makes it perfect for a nice family dinner or even a date night. The menu offers a great variety of options, ranging from classic American dishes to Asian-inspired cuisine and even jambalaya. They also have a kids' menu, which is always a plus! I started with the guava lemonade, and it was absolutely wonderful and refreshing! I especially appreciated that it had real guava puree rather than just guava flavoring. My only minor disappointment was the glass size. It was tall and skinny, and since refills cost extra, I wished the serving were a bit more generous. For my entrée, I ordered the blackened salmon, and it was delicious! The fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. The mashed potatoes were rich and buttery, with chunks of potato--exactly how I like them! The roasted vegetables had the perfect amount of crunch and were seasoned beautifully. The portions were generous, too. I ended up taking some of my meal home because I was so full! The kids' portions were just as hearty. My daughter could only finish half of her pasta, so she had to take the rest home as well. The only drawback was the slow service. However, I'm giving them some grace because there was already a large party dining there before we arrived, which may have contributed to the delay. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, the generous portions, and the inviting atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. This little gem is worth a visit! read more

Our friends have been telling us about this place for months and we finally made it in tonight. Wow. This place really is a hidden gem. The food quality is high end fine dining. But it's in a strip mall. Never would have imagined it could be that good. Decor is nice, service was incredible. Wine and beer list could use some work but the food was so good we'll overlook it. Can't wait to come back! read more

We had such a great experience! The food was fantastic we ordered the fish and chips and the chicken sandwich, and both were delicious. What really stood out, though, was our server, Luis. Great food is important, but great service is what turns a meal into an exceptional dining experience, and he delivered both. From the moment we walked in until the time we left, he was attentive, prompt, respectful, and genuinely kind. I also noticed how he interacted with the other tables around us. Every guest seemed to feel like they had his full attention, which is a rare quality. I work in an industry where I do a lot of hiring, and Luis is exactly the kind of person we look for. His professionalism, attentiveness, and customer service made a lasting impression. Thank you, Luis, for making a great meal even better. We'll definitely be back! read more

The restaurant was clean and spacious. The staff were friendly and attentive to our requests. The food was delicious. We had empanadas, ahi poke, and calamari for appetizers. My son and I had the BBQ cheese burger. My wife had the chicken bowl, and my daughter had the steak bowl. I had a very good iced tea while they had sprites and coke, haha. I would enjoy eating here again. read more

Had lunch here for the first time last week and definitely won't be our last. Food and service were great.

This was a random stop based on Yelp reviews as we were in the area looking for something good and not eating at the same fast food places. There was a short waiting period before we got seated. Service was friendly and attentive. The ambiance is casual. Seating is comfortable. The bruschetta was excellent for appetizers. We ordered the garlic shrimp noodles and steak tacos ordered medium rare. Both dishes had generous amounts of food. You will not leave hungry. Prices are reasonable. The place is pretty popular so expect some wait time if going during lunch or dinner times. read more

After making tough design decisions at Floor n Decor we stopped in next door at Martiniz Fresno Kitchen to try for the first time. A casual restaurant with high quality food and modern, clean decor. We ordered the Beef Empanadas to start. They're good size for an appetizer and the chipotle aioli was smoky and complemented the empanadas perfectly. Fried but not greasy. Hubby had the Miso Salmon which he liked and I had Butternut Squash Ravioli in Butter Cream sauce. Delicious! I wish I had paired it with a salad to break up the richness but I knew I'd be too full. Next time I'll do that as we will definitely be back. Our server, Brittany, was attentive and friendly as well. read more

Food and service are outstanding! Was with group and all members had a different entree. Everyone was pleased. We will go back again.

Came here with a friend for brunch. It's a hidden gem next to a Hobby Lobby. It wasn't too busy when we arrived but started to fill up shortly after. The menu is pretty extensive with a wide variety of options. I have never seen a Fried Chicken & Waffle Benedict so I had to try it. My friend got the Caprese Omelette. I really enjoyed the Fried Chicken & Waffle benedict, it was so good! I didn't know what to expect, and kind of thought it would be a fried chicken drumstick next to a waffle (a la Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles), but it was chicken strips underneath perfectly poached eggs. It's was beautifully presented and served with delicious potatoes. My friend enjoyed her omelette as well! There are not a lot of coffee options if you're expecting any kind of fancy espresso based drinks, they just have regular brewed coffee and cappuccino. But they have good adult beverage options available for brunch. Our server was so kind as well. She was very attentive and professional - like 5 star restaurant service level. Highly recommend that you try it if you're in the area! read more

My wife wanted seafood. We were eyeing another location but they didn't open until 11:00 AM and she was getting hangry. My kids were also whining about wanting French toast and breakfast items. Where was I going to find the best of both? We searched Yelp and stumbled on Martiniz Fresko Kitchen. A Quick look at the menu showed Sunday brunch along with my wife's favorite fish, mahi mahi (with ahi as a very close second). My wife being proactive, called ahead of time to make reservations but they said it wasn't too busy and to walk right in. When we arrived, however, there was a table reserved for two adults and two children, complete with kids menu, utensils, and even a flower. The place was very clean, almost as if they opened their doors yesterday. My daughter zeroed in on the French toast and my son chirped the same sentiment. I had a hard time deciding between the fish tacos, jambalaya, and the grilled mahi but ultimately settled on the jambalaya. My wife opted for until grilled mahi mahi served on white rice and grilled vegetables. I then added a blood orange mimosa and the ahi poke tostada. The ahi poke tostadas came out first. The poke was nicely seasoned and dressed with micro greens with a drizzle of spicy ahi sauce. I wanted more poke. The French toast was buttery and sweet, especially with the accoutrements of salted butter and maple syrup. Our kids devoured this dish. There was a generous portion of mahi mahi. Most places overcook their fish but theirs was fork tender and succulent. The grilled vegetables were nicely charred and paired nicely with the sweet taste of mahi. This is probably the best fish we tasted outside of Hawaii. The jambalaya had pearls of seafood (fish, shrimp) with spicy andouille sausage. The rice was cooked to an almost risotto texture which brought the mild spices together. We will definitely be back to try their other menu items. Martiniz Fresko Kitchen is a true gem. read more

It was my girlfriend and my first time here. We came for brunch after a hike in the area. This is a hidden gem. Our server was friendly and attentive, always making sure we were doing well and keeping our water cups full. There is plenty of seating, can accommodate big parties. It is very clean and spacious. The menu has so man choices to choose from. Our food was delicious. I have never had an egg white omelet (Caprese Omelet) and it didn't disappoint. It was so yummy and flavorful; every ingredient mixed so well. I love that they added sausage for me. I needed some meat. My friend liked her Fried Chicken & Waffle Benedict, too. I got a taste of that and it was good. I like that they have non traditional menu items as well as the usual brunch items. I will definitely have to come back to try the other items. read more

I've eaten here many times now. Martiniz's has quickly become my favorite restaurant in the Inland Empire. It's a nice place, serving incredibly good food, and at a reasonable price. You can get Australian Lobster tail and a flat-iron steak, or you can get fish and chips, or a burger. It's really nice inside, but you'll see many guests in shorts. My recommendations: Apps- ahi tostadas, crab cakes, or calamari Entree- miso black cod (like Nobu), braised short rib, or chicken Marsala. Dessert - creme brulè or carrot cake read more

Second time here and I felt compelled to leave another review! The first time I came was for brunch, and this time I decided to check out dinner--and wow, it did not disappoint. The food here is clearly made with so much love and attention. Every plate comes out beautifully presented, and the portions are generous. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they're serving. We ordered the shrimp and garlic pasta and the shrimp scampi. The shrimp were huge and perfectly cooked with a nice bite--super fresh and flavorful. We also tried the chicken marsala and wow! The chicken was incredibly tender and the marsala wine sauce was rich, savory, and absolutely delicious. The food here definitely feels elevated--almost like a fine dining experience without the stuffy atmosphere. The service was also excellent. Our server checked on us regularly, kept our table cleared, and made sure our drinks were always refilled. They also allowed us to bring our own bottle with a small corkage fee, which was a nice bonus. Between the beautiful presentation, flavorful dishes, and great service, this place continues to impress. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to! read more

For the fish and chips: good texture, good sauces, could have been more flavorful fish. For anyone ordering the Ahi Poke Tostadas: don't worry too much about the spice level. I ordered the hot sauce on the side out of caution, but it's probably less spicy than sriracha sauce. (The fish was nice, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the cracker it was served on.) read more

AHH-MAZING! The rave reviews did not disappoint. We stopped by on our way to Vegas and I'm already bookmarking this spot for future trips. Since we had our pups with us, we ordered everything to go and it was perfect. Here's what we tried: * Cauliflower Vegan Steak - 10/10 (perfect!) * Carnitas Tacos - 9/10 * Fried Fish Taco - 8.7/10 * House Salad - 15/10 (Yes, it was that good!) * Grilled Shrimp Taco - 9/10 Shoutout to their to-go supplies: sturdy, high-quality containers, utensils and paper bags. Nothing flimsy or cheap here. 10/10! We also grabbed two sides of chicken for our dogs and they inhaled it before I could snap a pic. Bonus: the inside of the restaurant was spotless, which feels rare these days. I also peeked at their weekend breakfast menu and let's just say I'm already planning a return trip for that alone. The owner was incredibly kind, even brought water out to us while we ate in the car with the dogs. Tip: Bring cash to get a 4% discount! read more

Service was great at this restaurant, the staff were very friendly and attended to us very well and in a timely manner. The food had great flavor and portion size definitely surprised us.

Mahi Mahi was cooked very nicely with lots of flavor that complimented the assorted vegetables side. read more

This yummy little hole in the wall storefront is right next to Floors and Decor and you don't want to miss it! First off, bright open space, greeted instantly walking in and told to pick our spot. The table situation against a walled back seat scenario allows for you to choose to combine as many tables as you need for whatever size your party, so whether date night with 2 people or group hang out of 10, this place has got the space! The very nice female employee (forgot her name!) quickly dropped some menus and grabbed our drink order. Now I am a snob about tea, and I do have to say I did not care for the plain unsweetened flavor, it tasted old - and if you drink tea like me you know what I mean. Everything else was pretty good though: Bruschetta- 3 pieces, had fresh onions,tomato, garlic bits going on. I think it had sprouts instead of basil? Nice balsamic glaze. Ate it right up. Calamari - Nice long strings of meat depending fried. Kinda like chicken tender size. No baby squids with their cute tentacles! They needed some salt but other than that real decent, and the tartar was delicious. Grilled Fish Tacos - these tacos were beast size, so juicy and mouthwatering. Some decent sized tomatoes and cabbage inside , very little thin red onion to not overpower and some crumble cheese. I would probably suggest a different side to go with though, the waffle fries are not ideal. Jambalaya - this was my husbands meal. He said it was okay but could have used some Cajun seasoning/spice and been more of a drier dish. It was a wet enough rice plate to make him think it was more like a risotto. The shrimps made are definitely jumbo so no skimping there. Shrimp Scampi - very buttery (but not swimming) with those XXXL Jumbo shrimps. Had a good mixture of veggies inside, and some thick shavings of Parmesan cheese. The bread was ammmmaaazing. I can't remember if it is offered as an appetizer but if not they should. So good. Overall, you will get your moneys worth in food from this place. They don't forget you at all, the woman came by several times to check if we needed refills and liked our food - also, a man that I am assuming was their chef also came out several times to check on if the food was to our liking. Their hospitality is on point, and other than just the need for some extra seasoning/salt in some of their dishes I'd say this is a spot I will be coming back to again. read more

Their Mexican fare is amazing, but the wonder doesn't stop there. Dare to venture into the international arena and you would be rewarded with fine cooking from across the globe. Since it was my first time visiting, I stuck to the basics, but there was nothing rudimentary about these fish tacos. The batter was light, and the fish was fresh and tender. Most of all, the topping with leafy greens and cherry tomatoes really elevated the lowly tacos to a higher culinary pedestal. Service was personal and sincere, and the dining area was surprisingly commodious. read more

There is a reason why they have a 4.9-star rating!!! Let's start with the food because it is always the most important part. I read the previous reviews and got to look at the yummy pictures. Everything looked amazing. I settled on the beef empanadas and the taco combo. Everything was beautifully presented, and it tasted immaculate. The two-taco combo sounded amazing. Usually, it's just two shrimp or two steak, but they were kind enough to accommodate my 1 shrimp, 1 steak request. I got black beans and rice with them, and it was sooo tasty. I usually want more than two tacos, but I was so full and satisfied. The flaky empanadas were hearty, and the creamy orange sauce that accompanied them was perfection. Holy cow. So yummy and filling. The food is 10/10. The service and ambiance are 10/10. Cute, comfortable black booths. I love it when a restaurant has more than just wooden chairs. Lots of parking and easy to find. Would definitely recommend and come back. Love it. Happy to find a new yummy go-to spot near Eastvale. read more

I learned the chef worked at FRENCH LAUNDRY so it's no surprise why everyone raves about the fantastic food choices, incredibly flavorful dishes, and exquisite plate presentations. Can you imagine this hidden gem located in a strip mall in Norco has a classically trained chef from Thomas Keller's esteemed restaurant in Napa, that's so amazing! It took me almost a year to dine in and now I'm a BIG FAN! The staff were attentive, friendly and courteous. The atmosphere is casual comfort with an open space that has natural light which feels inviting and relaxed. Prices and portion sizes matches the quality of the dishes. Let's all support this family owned restaurant and don't judge the establishment by its location; beyond the exterior lies a culinary secret in Norco not Napa! read more

Martiniz FreskoThis place is a must-stop if you're driving along the 15 or 91 freeways -- or honestly, if you're anywhere within driving distance. Family-owned, welcoming, and consistently outstanding, Martiniz Fresko Kitchen never disappoints. I've been here many times for both lunch and dinner, and every visit has been excellent. On this trip, we started with the clam chowder and beef empanadas, which were both delicious. For our entrées, we ordered the beef short ribs -- absolutely spectacular -- and the butternut ravioli, which was incredibly flavorful. Everything was so, so good, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food, friendly service, and a warm family atmosphere. read more

I appreciated the true corn tortillas that did not fall apart while eating - not even a little! The tacos were outstanding. Perfectly cooked and flaky.

My wife and I live up the road from this restaurant and we just happened to stumble upon it while stopping by Floor and Decor. We were skeptical but decided to give it a try. I had the Flat Iron Steak and my wife had the Blackened Salmon. Now I normally don't order Flat Iron Steaks because they usually just don't donut for me, man was in wrong.

All the workers were very friendly and checked up on us often enough to see if we needed anything and to refill our waters. The restaurant was clean and spacious. The restroom was clean also with several stalls. Now on to the important part- the food! No complaints or issues with our food orders. Everything tasted great and it was plated very nice and served hot and fresh. I thoroughly enjoyed my shrimp garlic noodles. Also the empanadas and sauce were tasty. Prices were very reasonable. Portions were a good size too. The location is convenient with lots of parking. I recommend this place and would return again when visiting. read more
