I loaded that on the tacos with hot sauce & it was ‍ ! The service here was really great from start to finish from recommendations, getting us more napkins, and refilling our hibiscus limeades to go. Super pleasant experience. The inside is very clean and comfortable.

My husband loved HomeState while I thought it was mid. Our views were so different that I'll…read morereturn based on how great he thought it was. We ordered a Tijuana panther, a picadillo taco, and a brisket taco. We added a side of their queso and a tortilla with butter. I love the big patio, booths inside, and service. It was pretty slow for not being very busy and what appeared to be overstuffed. The chips and queso were very good. The Tijuana panther taco was sopping wet and I could only finish half of it because it was so messy and hard to eat without asking for a fork and knife. My husband's picadillo taco is where it was at. It was tangy from the pickled jalapenos, meat was beautifully seasoned, and tortilla dry enough to hold. The brisket taco was overstuffed and messy as well. I appreciate packing them full, but when they're served rolled it makes a handheld food item completely inedible by hand. The employee working the register was delightful and I'd go back just for her.

I've been coming to lunch here for a few years now. I get a craving for their poblano soup, and I…read morehave to, have to, have to order it. Usually a cup, sometimes a bowl. I honestly haven't tried too much on their menu because I can't finish their generously portioned entrees after a cup of the poblano. I usually go for one of their salads, the Asian chicken or the spinach salad. Or I'll get a la carte street tacos, the chicken or pork. I like the salsas that come with their complimentary chips. To this day I can't decide between them. The salsa verde has more of a kick but not too much heat. The salsa rojo is milder and thicker with nice flavor. Lots of retirees in the area coming to dine. It can get busy, especially Thursday and Friday lunchtime, and then you have to be patient for your food. Lisa in the front always has a sparkle and a kind word, and Guillermo remembers my drink order.

Ancho's is one of those places I honestly don't know if it's considered a hidden gem or not, but…read moreafter living in Riverside for the past 3-4 years, I can't believe I've never been here until now. I found out about it through my cousin, who's a UCR alum, and I'm really glad I finally got to try it. The staff were super nice and attentive, constantly coming by our table to check if we needed more water, tortillas, or anything else we might want. Even with how busy it was, they still made sure everyone was taken care of, which I really appreciated. The restaurant was packed, and it actually surprised me because I don't usually see that many people at restaurants in Riverside. The energy inside felt lively but still comfortable. One of my favorite parts was the fresh tortillas. They come out hot and fresh from the oven, and you can literally watch them being made right in front of you, which made it even better. And the best part is they're free. We ordered the carne fajitas and chile relleno. The fajitas were incredible, the meat was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, with that perfect smoky sear that comes from being cooked fresh on a hot skillet. Everything came out sizzling and stayed flavorful with every bite. The chile relleno was also really good, with a nice balance of savory and slightly creamy filling that paired well with the sauce. It was actually my first time trying fajitas, and I can confidently say I'll be ordering them again the next time I come back. I definitely plan on returning while I'm still at UCR to make up for all the years I didn't know this place existed.

Im not fully sure about how we felt about this place. It wasn't bad but…read moreMy family decided to come to this restaurant to celebrate my grandfathers birthday. First time coming to the restaurant for all of us. The ambience was cool and I liked the fact that they made the tortillas fresh. The food was cool I guess. My grandmother got the chicken fajitas but there were no bell peppers with it, just onions. The tamale was mid. My Dad and myself ordered a basic bean and cheese burrito. I did not like the fact that it wasn't mentioned that the beans are made with bacon until AFTER we received our food! My dad doesn't eat meat and the rice is made with chicken as well. The server did bring him something else but this needs to be stated on the menu or upon ordering! We were sat right next to where they made the tortillas and can see them being made since they had glass windows around it. However, there was one gentleman that was making tortillas who was on his cell phone texting or whatever CONSTANTLY at the same time while doing this. He had a glove on one hand and no glove on the other, and was touching the tortilla dough.....We all know how dirty a cell phone is! And what made it worse is at one point he itched the inside of his nose with his finger, and didn't even wash his hands or have gloves on after that. Definitely made my stomach turn and what caused me to go and write this review. I suggest a camera be placed at the tortilla station, add the notes about bacon in the beans and chicken in the rice, and add bell peppers to the fajitas. Also, maybe give the option of meatless beans and rice for the non-meat eaters

Sometimes, my husband and I eat here twice in one week. Everything I've tried has been delicious. Amazing mole, tacos de pulpo, filete à la Diablo, and chile relleno. Their tamales and enchiladas are great. Their tacos are the best. My favorites are ground beef, shredded chicken, and shrimp. The staff is terrific. There are several people to greet you at the door with bright, smiling faces. They assist each other in making sure you have a great experience every time. The manager goes around to the tables to make sure they are well taken care of and are enjoying their food.

Very very disappointed with the food…read more Shrimp Diablo had medium size and small shrimp. They were dry, grilled and chewy (way over cooked). Rice was crispy on top because it was under a salamander and tortilla were hard and thick. Beans were good but very small portion. Diablo sauce was ok but so so disappointed with the shrimp size and quality. Carne Asada burrito was more ground beef like, overly chopped. Very dry burrito with only 1/4 avocado at most. Fish burrito was also dry with the tortilla thick and cold. Could only eat half of it. Good free chips and salsa (ask for the habenero salsa) and service was good. Sorry, although prices were reasonable, inside was clean, well decorated, a decent bar and service good, won't be back...too many other places where the food is much better prepared.

It was pretty busy at 6:45 on a Wednesday evening. We were celebrating a birthday as well. Our server was really friendly and professional, and looked like she was training someone else who was equally as nice and informative. The table opted for one appetizer a round of drinks and then our entrées, of course. We finished off the meal with the butter cake, which is exceptional in the industry. We also had a birthday dessert which was much appreciated and super delicious. All of the entrées were fantastic - this included the black and fish tacos both Seabass and salmon. Our guests also enjoyed the enchiladas divorcidade. We also had the fillet tacos and then a new menu item which with the citrus salmon. Everything was delicious, however one of my guests, my mother-in-law - felt the seafood enchiladas were too spicy overall, even after minimizing some of the sauce. The server was kind enough to just bring her a plain taco with a side of rice which she enjoyed. We felt really bad about that. Overall great meal service was a little slow at times to get drink refills and water refreshed. I will say we are kind of annoyed all the time with just the plain water. we asked for ice. I don't know why this keeps being a trend throughout restaurants. Social media has been calling this out for a while. Just serve the water with ice. That's my rant. lol. Will definitely come back of course.
