Let me start off by saying we go to Miguel's at least once a week. We love the food but this location is always, ALWAYS lacking. We typically go to the Tyler or corona locations. Every time we come here our order is wrong. Not once, not twice, 3+ times. I can count on one hand how many times our order has been correct. Not only that, the service is extremely slow. The workers have 0 sense of time management or ability to multitask. read more

Always glad that I stopped here for lunch. Staff is pleasant. Food is legit. I've made my point.....why does Yelp force me to "add more characters"!?!?!?!????????? read more

Very disappointed at this location, I had a bad experience when I was there a bit over a month ago , I ordered the garbage burrito and when I got it everything inside was cold, the cheese was a big ball, wasn't even melted... shows how cold the burrito was.. I asked them if they can do it again, kept me waiting for over 10 minutes.. the staff said it had to sit a while so the cheese can melt I thought I would try again today and ordered a chicken taco salad and I barely got chips, half of a half of a over ripe avocado, maybe 4 tiny pieces of tomato's.. do dissatisfied! I had been a Miguel's Jr. fan since the 80s of the Corona location and sadly this location has gone down... lost me and my family as customers... I hope the owner reads this review and does some changes.. read more

I genuinely enjoy Miguel's Jr - for fast food, it's pretty darn good. The last time I was there, they were dealing with some unfortunate consequences with staff calling out, so things were super backed up. We ended up getting the wrong order too, which stunk. When I called, they added my name to their book and said the next meal is on them. I suppose easier than trying to get a charge back, just hope that when the time comes, it's legit in there and no one has forgotten! As far as the inside goes, for this location, it's less than stellar. Seems to always be dirty, but I guess the staff is constantly busy. No matter, we rarely eat there and it has no impact on the food. read more

My first visit. I would eat there again. The manager was very accommodating. She did extra to make sure I was satisfied read more

The food is good, but I don't know why they ask what salsa you want, if they're just going to give you the red salsa. Even after you specify you'd like the green salsa... read more

Inconsistent Portions I used to go to Miguel's a lot however I stopped going because I got tired of the inconsistent portion sizes, specifically the meat that you choose. One day you might get the "standard" amount (which is not a lot to begin with). Then, on your next visit you'll hardly get any meat at all, it's always hit and miss with them and it's usually a miss! I stopped going due to this fact, I've also talked to friends and family members who stopped going as well for the exact same reason. I decided to give it another chance today and once again I was disappointed. I ordered a carne asada garbage burrito which cost almost $14.00, and as you can see in the photo it hardly had any meat! Definitely not worth $14 in my opinion. The food is not bad, however, it's a huge turn off never knowing if you're going to get a "regular" amount of meat OR hardly any! For example, the last time I ordered a burrito from them, it only had 8 pieces of meat inside the burrito, 8 pieces! They need to address their inconsistency issue. They have a 3 out of 5 star rating on Yelp, not the worst, but not good either. read more

Miguels Jr - $14.00 Carne Asada Garbage burrito. WHERES THE MEAT?? - Mexican Near Me - Riverside, California

Sunday afternoon twenty minute wait for four cars in front of me Usually have chicken burrito today I tried the carne asada. Cost more than two dollars extra for a few pieces of dried out meat. More like beef jerky than asada. So bad I almost drove back to return it. They really need to be more consistent with portion size and the quality of the meat. read more

I have been coming here for years and I have NEVER had my order come out correctly. If I say "chicken" they give me cheese. If I say "sauce on the side" they put extra sauce all over. If I say "no avocado" extra Guacamole on top. And this is not a mistake once or twice. Its EVERY TIME. Im done. Taco Bell is now getting my business. Manager plz train staff better or invest in a better speaker box in the drive thru. read more

$30 for half made food barely any food I would rather go to Taco Bell and pay the same for just as bad food don't recommend going here. read more

The food good here but came 3-4 time already and they seem like they can't get the order right. Take 2-3 try to get me my food how I order it. The receipt read correct maybe none of the employee can read. read more

Service makes everything taste better! Our family has been Miguel's Jr. customers since the 70's. For the most food has always been good and consistent flavor. (With the exception of the Galleria location, their burritos are smaller than any other location)Service on the other hand has always been hit-n-miss. Bryan at the Van Buren location made it a 10! He was courteous, friendly and attentive. What a difference from all those years. Maybe Bryan can provide training to all other locations, including the full service restaurants. Just an observation. read more

The chicken burrito was very tasty nice serving. The young man working the drive thru was nice and polite.

Waited in drive thru 20 minutes for 1 breakfast burrito. It was flavorless & dry, not sure why they advertise chili verde potatoes when potatoes were void of any seasoning. Waste of $9, and I'm fairly certain I got food poisoning. Never again! #gross read more

Such a disappointment. I have been a huge fan of Miguel's for 25 years now, but fear I will be fleeing them for other Mexican food establishments! I ate at this location last week because I wanted my favorite Garbage Burrito Carne Asada extra wet. They cannot even be honest, according to their posted banner hanging right in the restaurant as you enter and serve Carne Asada(see posted pic). When I took my meal back to the counter to inquire why the beef inside is not what is advertised, I was told they've had to change suppliers and the meat is much thinner. WHAT??? What is was served, and charged extra for, was nothing more than shredded beef. My youngest daughter and I had been sharing this chunky beef burrito for years and suddenly it changes. Sorry, Miguel's, but you have FAILED in fulfilling your promise of quality. read more

Food was horrible no meat in the burritos just bean and rice. loaded fries bowl had more guacamole then anything.

Excellent in store service! Very courteous and friendly. Chile relleno burrito, excellent! Bean and cheese burrito was also delicious. Caramel filled churros are amazing! Wish I would have bought 3. Will definitely come back. Thank you! No pictures. Food didn't last long enough for pictures read more

I don't know what happened to this place. It used to be great but now the food is terrible. The service is terrible and you ask a question why something is like this they don't management is terrible if you're gonna keep treating your customers and having the food charging this price, good luck in business worst place on Van Buren Riverside won't come back read more

I asked the manager why did I sit for eight minutes in the sun for her to clear her entire drive-through before she took my order she looked at me like she didn't even know how to tell me why. Then I told her I'm not gonna be sitting in the sun it gets me sick and she tried to cut it short and say your food's coming in and close the window so I'm just letting you know for now on when I drive through this drive-through I'm gonna drive right up to the window and you will take my order and if you disrespect my food, I will sue you And worse. Who I am so don't play stupid when I show up. read more

When you order a carne asada bowl you expect to have some meat but what I got was a vegetable salad instead. Staff, double check your orders! read more

Placed an order for a bean and cheese burrito and a potato burrito with steak (carne asada) via the drive thru. There was no one behind me and the cashier told me to pull over and park, for they will bring my food. 10+ mins passed and a car that came after me (which appeared to also be told to park) was given my order. The car drove around and gave the order back to the server and he turned around to give it to me (note the food had been opened by the previous person). I asked to get it replaced, assuming it would exactly, but did not. For when I got home, the potato burrito had no steak and the bean and cheese burrito was half the size of it being originally. Sorry for the rant, I rarely do this. I called the restaurant and no answer. Too far to drive back. Hesitant to keep patronizing this particular one in Woodcrest read more

These people are horrible the moment you ask them for something different like a taco that is out side their turn style ordering ! They are not to smart . Been going there for a few years but the quality of their employees is horrible ! It's a whole generation not just them ! It's an entire generation of lazy entitled crappy worker ! Give me an Illigal taco stand any day . Never again! !! Good for the kind of clientele that thinks this is Mexican food ! Wykyk ... read more

We get food from here often. A little too often. I recommend their bean and cheese burrito. It is SO GOOD and so filling. Try their red and green sauce also! I prefer the green, but my husband prefers the red. You can add onions, cilantro, and jalapenos to your order at no cost. The place is always very clean and the service is nothing to complain about in my opinion! read more

They were out of enchilada sauce and chili rellenos, weird stuff to be out of in a kitchen where you could make more.

The food is horrible The tacos were made like yesterday, tortilla were over cooked and the lettuce some how just disappeared, very little cheese. So not happy. Maybe Armapola can show them how. read more

Can in last night for 5 carne asada burritos and side of rice/beans. The rice and beans had hair in it. It was for my 2-year-old son. It's the second time I have had a problem here. I can in the morning for breakfast burritos, and both burritos were soaked. The tortilla torn apart. It's just a mess everywhere. The there drinks weren't ready bec the casher said they had just opened. Yeah, that's the point. They should have been ready before you opened. This place ready needs to get it together. The management seems to be ok with the poor quality of customer service. I hope no one comes and eats here. An they get $20hr to mess your order up. read more

Miguels Jr - Hair in my 2-year-old food - Mexican Near Me - Riverside, California

You're sorry you missed the mark. You have the audacity to have me go and make a complaint online on the information that you left. I spoke with the manager that day at the window and he was an asshole. He even gave me the owner's number. Which I called and I'm not the type of person to sugarcoat anything I tell it straightforward like it is and if you don't like what you hear that's your issue not mine especially when I'm paying $18 with two burritos, beans, rice and cheese with shredded beef came out to almost $19.??????... the store, owner or manager who I spoke with I believe I think his name was Steve.? didn't like what I had to say, and he hung up the phone on me. I will get in contact with someone from corporate at Miguel Jr's and let them know of the inconsistency of the preparedness of the food that it's uncooked. Let's see what the owners of Miguel Jr's have to say about that . Whether it's a corporate store or a franchisees store.. I'm gonna report it to the owners of Miguel Jr's not the franchise owner or the store manager on Van Buren. Just because I have a colorful mouth and I'm not happy with the food that I received in the amount that I paid for I don't have a ride to be upset.??? Why don't you not miss the mark on this one and supply me with the owners of Miguel Jr's themselves in like I mentioned not the store manager or the franchisee the owners of Miguel Miguel Jr's themselves. This store is not even deserve not one star. They are so slow at making food that it takes them about five to eight minutes to take your order at the drive-through box then you have to wait about twenty five minutes to twenty minutes. just to get to the drive-through window to Pay and get your food I don't know what takes so long to make an order. My family has had franchise stores and our own personal Mexican restaurants here in the Indian Empire, and we were always fast and efficient without a problem and our food was cooked all the way through not halfway uncooked like the rice was two times in my visits. You have the audacity to inform me and tell me that no one else has can ever complain about the rice being not all the way cooked of course not not after they get home. They don't wanna waste your damn time and having to call you guys and complain, and I have to wait a long time for the order Like the way you notoriously known for having us on drive-through for for 25 minutes to get our food from the front window. read more

Ordered one of their new bowls. Not only was it cold, there was a long black hair in there. I've tried to give this location many chances, but this location can't seem to get it together. read more

4.70 total for a nice size Bean n cheese burrito is always a steal. Pretty good and flavorful beans. The only reason you are not getting 5 stars is your Red n green sauce. Garbage! With a restaurant named Miguel's you are really lacking in that area. The Red sauce is completely watered down and the green sauce has flavor but no kick to it. Taco Bell's mild sauce is stronger. I would expect this from a restaurant with the name Tom's But not Miguel. Get it together and be the king of Riversides Bean n Cheese. Will I be back sure but with a bottle of tapatio I guess. read more

If I could, I would give Miguel's a minus star. The lady manager was so rude to me because I found, NOT one, but TWO red curly hairs in my Christmas tamales, that I paid $67.00 for. I called and left a message just wanted half my money back because we were not going to eat the rest. Well, someone high-up called me and said how sorry they were, and they would call the manager at Miguel's in Riverside on Van Buren and they will give you a $50 gift card is that ok. I said yes. When I got to Miguel's the manager tried to tell me it was corn husks, I saw, not hair... I pulled out a baggie with the TWO RED CURLY HAIRS IN IT (that I found in their tamales) THAT LOOKED EXACTLLY LIKE HER HAIR!!! I told her no, look. She gave me the gift card and left. I found out later it only had $15 on it... I WILL NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN!!!!!! read more

It's okay tasting, good value during Taquito Tuesday. Service is good here and self service drink fountain. To be honest, The typical Alberto's has better flavor. The bean and cheese at Miguel's is one of the best I will confirm, I have them add in jalapeños when they make my bean n cheese burrito. read more

Dejon ... that young man needs a raise. So kind. So polite. Even my 17 year old son was impressed with him. Well done on that hire Miguel's.

I'm sad to post this location has gone down hill. We used to love coming here. They have zero customer service and be careful when you order a drink. 85% of it will be ice. This was both my daughters and my drink. You'll be lucky if you get a few drinks! Don't think we'll visit this one again and it's close to home. Bummer! read more

The service has gone absolutely downhill at this location. About the 5th time that the employee's have ZERO manners or kindness, which goes the distance in the food industry. On top of that, this about the second or third time that they have messed up probably the most simple order on the Menu. A BEAN, RICE, AND CHEESE burrito with 2 red hot sauce. Stop taking multiple orders at once and maybe give some thanks to the CUSTOMERS who actually keep your business going. Will NOT go back to this location. read more

So I'm seriously disappointed in continuing decline, this restaurant used to be our favorite go to 1 a week,,,, they changed the beans and last week they changed the size they used to be open earlier and now we have to wait ... not only wait , but wait at the door for them to open grab a hot breakfast before work... today the guy waited till past opening time to unlock, walked out without saying anything, we waited for him to come back and he walked to the back of the kitchen right by us without saying a word, very rude ! Guess we won't have time to have hot breakfast before work anymore!! read more

Worst customer service ever...went this morning for breakfast and the guy working there literally didn't even acknowledge our presence, just walked around without even a simple "good morning " let alone take our order. I will NEVER go to Miguel's again. read more

These tacos in my opinion are some of the best tacos I've ever eaten. The beef tacos are so good- the meat is lean and very flavorful and I could probably eat about six of them. The lemonade is also spectacular, everything else is very good as well but the tacos and lemonade are the standouts. Also, the potato tacos are very good. Don't ignore other menu items but the tacos are outstanding. read more

Miguel's is always good but some places are hit and miss. 2 out of the 5 times I been there my order has been wrong.

My coworkers and I decided to go grab a breakfast burritos at this location. We were there the second they opened and the only 3 customers there. My coworker first and he ordered the Green Pig burrito. I was second and ordered the Green Pig burrito as well. My third coworker ordered the Chorizo burrito. As we are eating my coworker who ordered the Green Pig burrito finds a long black hair in his food. He informs Jovita and they make him another burrito. At this point I'm about half way done with my burrito when I take a bite and start chewing that I feel a hair in my mouth. I immediately started gagging and pulled a long black hair out of my mouth. I informed Jovita the cashier at the front and told her I didn't want another burrito but I did want to let them know there is hair in my food. Jovita just responded with "oh my god, what's going on this morning?" But that's all she said. That's just completely ridiculous, they weren't even open for 20 minutes nor were they busy. I completely lost my appetite and am just disgusted whenever I think about it. I honestly should have asked for a refund. The only thing I enjoyed was the coffeechata but even with that I hope they made it right. read more
