Paracho Mexican Restaurant always has impeccable service. The staff is consistently attentive, friendly, and professional, which really stands out. The drinks are made well, and the Mexican candy shot is especially good. The food overall is great with bold flavors such as the fajitas, which are always well seasoned, and the wet chicken burrito verde, which is flavorful and filling. One thing to be aware of: we came in for dinner because the outside sign advertises $5 Margarita Mondays, but the price inside was different. The mismatch between the sign and the actual pricing was disappointing. Also worth mentioning, the shrimp dishes have been an issue for me. The shrimp are not properly cleaned and consistently have the vein intact, which means fecal matter is present. This has happened more than once, so it's not an isolated issue. Overall, great food, strong drinks, and excellent service but it would be nice to see the advertised pricing honored and better prep on the shrimp. read more

First of all the manager Carlos is not the nicest person. 2nd we were there on Mother's Day and my friends son was served bad oysters! Not ok [[HIGHLIGHT]]3rd we saw a rat the size of a cat running into the kitchen and the employees pretended like nothing happened...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will never step foot in this place and I will make sure to let everyone know not to go to there. The only good thing was the 2 waitresses that were there they were very sweet and accommodating, the tall young lady I didn't get her name but she was a sweetheart. read more

I came here last night and was surprised at the great service and food here. I was a little deterred by some of the other reviews but I was glad I gave this place a chance. I was looking for a last minute Mexican food restaurant that had molcajetes on the menu. I was frantically calling different places in Riverside and was disappointed most places close at 9pm or 8:30pm on a Thursday night. But thankfully Paracho Mexican and Seafood saved the day! I called ahead and was told they closed at midnight on a Thursday night and was assured the restaurant was family friendly (all ages welcome). Our table ordered two molcajetes, camarones a la diabla, oysters, carne asada sopes, birria tacos, and shrimp fajitas. All dishes came with a side of rice and beans. We all greatly enjoyed our food. Everything was made to order and came out sizzling hot. But they did not have hand made tortillas. They had packet tortillas. And like other reviewers mentioned, the beans do seem like they are canned beans. If you are okay with those two things, then the rest of your meal will not disappoint. The ambience can be really loud at times. It is a restaurant with tons of televisions on their walls hooked up with a loud surround system. Depending on what song is playing, you can barely hear yourself speak. I would assume this would be great to enjoy a sporting event. The staff was incredibly nice. I brought my grandparents here which are Spanish speaking only and the staff are bilingual. They were easily able to speak to my grandparents in Spanish and myself in English for our service. I really appreciated that. Overall, I'd recommend this place if you were in the mood for a sit down Mexican restaurant that was open late at night and you are okay with the loud ambiance. My grandparents loved this place and I would definitely be bringing them here again in the future. read more

This place is always bomb. The food, the staff, the chips and salsa and the drinks! They have a variety of salsas and some hot, which we love. Carlos is the best. Happy hour Monday-Friday all day. Enchilada plate is our favorite and me and my husband split it: Only advice would be, have a taco Tuesday :) read more

I do plan to give this place a second chance in hopes of having a better experience but I'll be honest, for my first time, it wasn't the best. My dad and I went a little after noon on a Sunday to have lunch and the restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were quickly seated but after that it took a long while to even be attended, not even a quick drink order. We saw two groups that came after us be attended much faster which was truly disappointing. It wasn't until we said something that a waitress came and there was no apology for the wait and to be honest, not the best hospitality service either. We proceed to order our food and just make the best of it. I had their mole cheese enchiladas and over all rating 3/10. I wouldn't consider their food authentic Mexican food but it's not horrible either, it does a decent job. I also ordered an horchata which taste like it came out of a machine which was a bummer as well. I did notice the restaurant had many tvs and read good surround sound which makes sense since they host tv sporting events so I think this might be a fun place to come watch a game or fight with friends. Like I said, I plan to give this place a second chance but first experience was a bit disappointing. read more

Came in on Sunday at 1130 for brunch with a friend. We weren't even sure of where to enter through because they don't have a main entrance front desk or sign. We walked in and the girl behind the bar just looked at us. It was not a warm welcoming. The service unfortunately was bad. The girl that was taking our order just took forever to continue coming back to us. After the first time she took her order. We had to wait for her to come back so that we can order our drinks and ask about the drink menu they don't have regular handout menus either we had to keep using our phones to scan the barcode there's no prices on the drinks which I feel needs to be updated. The food was also not the best. We paid $35 for our aguachili with octopus not worth it at all. A normal aguachilie plate cost around 22. I've never seen a plate go as high as 35 and come out looking as plain as this one it was definitely not worth $35. I ordered the enchiladas Verdes. And they were good, but not the best. The enchiladas were also very, very small. I wish I could say I would come back for the drink but I ordered the spicy mango and the mango was good but the drink had so much syrup in it. It was too thick and didn't taste good. I kept trying to stir it to make it better but it wasn't happening. The service was terrible. Every time we looked at her she was talking to the other girls or talking to people at the bar, but she wasn't paying attention to us. We had to wait every time we needed something else it took us 45 minutes to leave after we were ready to go. We had to wait awhile just to ask for boxes . She didn't bring our check we had to ask for it again which also took another long while once we got our check, our bill was $96. Yet when she brought the receipt for us to sign all of a sudden it was $99 a three dollar jump but yet the itemized list was 96. So they changed the receipt that we were signing and updated by three dollars. Double check your receipts people because that's not a normal mistake. I'm giving two stars because the parking lot is spacious the one restroom they have was clean . And the food was decent, but I wouldn't come back for the food or the drinks. And even though it was only a three dollar on our receipt we're very confused on how something like that happens. so if you're coming here, enjoy the atmosphere,they do have several large tvs playing soccer. The bar is a good size with what looks like lots of options. read more

This place was pretty good! It's a small place located in Jurupa Valley but it's a really cool environment. Games we're on the TVs and service was great. Great music in the background too. The beef taquitos were good, not great, but good. My wife had the enchiladas de camaron (shrimp enchiladas) and those were delicious! I would definitely return to eat here read more

Went on a Friday before dinner time and as we walked in we were not greeted we were stared at by a server at the register near the Bar. Eventually Nereyda (our server according to the receipt) sat us at a table and told us to scan the QR code to look at the menu. The menu needs some work there are no prices on some food items and on alcohol. This means if the management can't decide on liquor prices then I'm not buying it from here. We put in our food order and waited 45 minutes to get the food to the table. The wet burrito is smothered in canned tomato sauce with absolutely no seasoning. The fish tacos were dry and flavorless. Nereyda was absolutely not in a good mood as she kept herself busy sweeping and ignoring the only two tables she was serving. She did not check up on us until it was time to pay. We didn't get the usual "have a nice day" or "thank you" - nothing at all. We won't be coming back to this location. Unfortunate because the music was great but the servers need some training in customer service. read more

Food is good but very loud for dinner. It would be great if the loudness starts after 8 o'clock,.

This place was nice I would first it's a bar but the bathrooms are clean and the whole area seems very clean. The service was good, it was nice seeming them work together it was just one waitress and it might be the owner or manager was helping the customers. The food was outstanding I got a asada burrito and my wife got birria plate. Understand it is a bar so the plates are good and the appetizer are going to be more expensive but it does seem worth it with the portion sizes they give you. But if you're alone just get a plate. The only thing I had against this place was the beans I know it's silly but it tasted like can beans read more

Went to this establishment for dinner on Friday, not only was the service horrible but the food also lacked flavor, our waitress (NEREYDA) was just horrible at her job, with only 2 tables to serve it took her 30 mins to acknowledge our existence, she was kept "busy" but never checked in once besides to drop off drinks and once again to collect the checks , she seemed annoyed that there were customers present, the food was not only under cooked but somehow burnt, the sauce was straight out of a can, the meat was burnt to a crisp and the "salad" was just wilted. This locally owned restaurant seems to be geared towards locals so they were attended to first so if you plan on coming here plan to wait to be seated and treated poorly, the wait staff need a class on how to treat customers. Will not be coming back to this horrible restaurant read more

My new place to watch boxing! I think this is the only place in Riverside that offers boxing. Great service and great food! There was an issue with our order. The server handled it so well and offered something else. We were so stuffed from the bucket of beers that we declined! We will be coming back for more. read more

Undecided on thus one after 2 times in one month. 1st time was a disaster. The female at entrance was a bit ill mannered. Then the female waitress completely messed up my order. After 1 hr. We left. I did not eat. The owner was apologetic and had my CORRECT order made "to go". The 2nd time we were asked to seat ourselves and they didn't even bring a menu. The females were so busy on their cellphones that I got up and got menus myself! The music/karaoke was so loud we couldn't enjoy our conversation. The food was lackluster. Waitresses are inattentive. The bar has extremely limited choices of mixed drinks and they refused to take an "off-menu" request for a White Russian because they said they didn't know how to make it. UNIMPRESSED read more

I've been visiting this restaurant for the past 2 years since we moved to Riverside from OC and have had good experiences for the most part. We are a family of 5 and we visit your restaurant at least twice a month. However, your recent price raise on items like your chilaquiles (going from $7.99-$12.99 in only one year!) is ridiculous. I understand you raise your prices on items with meat or seafood but on chilaquiles ?? (Egg, tortilla, and salsa?) There's a great restaurant in OC - Cancun Juice with authentic Mexican food. They have the best chilaquiles in Southern CA and their price was $7.99 and they just recently went up to $9.99. OC is way more expensive than Riverside. I would hope you keep your price point low as the recent increases will not be able to be sustained. If you lower your prices, I will come back and give you 5 stars. Thank you! read more

I came in after noticing it as a drive by. So glad I stopped. Traditional Mexican fare but OMG I experimented on the menu with a few recommendations ('Aquichiles Tropical' and a Long Island) was out of the park great My wife was a bit more traditional fare but excellent as well. Friendly staff and decent prices (not cheap but not astronomical) Definetly a strong recommendation read more

Service: Was three stars i think they are short staffed but the owner was the one who was taking our order and bringing out food Food: I ordered the chilaquiles which was good My daughters ordered the cheeseburger and a hamburger with fries Fries were delicious The girls enjoyed there food Overall i give them 4 stars read more

I slightly regret ordering this. The flavor was not very strong. The fish was not properly marinated so the fish was raw. You need to soak the fish in acid to denature certain proteins for it to be "cooked." My boyfriend got the shrimp tacos which were very good. I walked out on a limb getting this, felt adventurous. Will stick to the basics next time. read more

Felt ripped off by this place in several ways. Came in with a restaurant.com certificate for $10 off $20 or more order that they didn't honor. Also got a regular menu and a barcode menu. The girl said people prefer the regular menu cause of the pictures. Never told me there was different prices as the barcode menu. So we ordered and bill was way more than menu said. The plates were skimpy, especially for the price they're charging. Thin piece of asada that was more like beef jerky. Chicken size was also small like damn pigeon. Overcooked as well. The two pieces of shrimp were the onlygood thing on the cielo, mar y tierra. Also got two negra Modelos. No price on menu. But when I got the bill they were $9 bucks each. Mofos charging like they got a Banda up in there. Or like they're an arena. No wonder the place was empty. So if you're heading in just check the menus. Also ask price of beers. They got me once, shame on them. Won't get me twice though. read more

They said the girl that could my order didn't place it correctly. They said for me to go back. Which I declined cuz I would have to drive back 20 minutes after I waited at the restaurant for over 20 minutes. Wouldn't go back. read more

Came here on a Wednesday for lunch with my brother. The place was pretty empty. The food is simply okay, nothing too great or to rave about. The service was average. Took the waitress a while to return to check on us if we needed drinks or anything. Would certainly return and hope the service and food has improved. I know they do have screens so they often show popular games or boxing fights. read more

Nice place to just chill .. quit compared to the other crazy spots around Mira Loma .. food is great service is excellent too..

All the food was over salted to the point it's wasn't edible, on top of that, the waitress was rude. Music was too loud, we couldn't hear each other talking. Take the salt away from the cook, become customer driven and I will give it another shot. read more
