    I am a self proclaimed diner discovery dude. Let's chill out people, I do not take myself that seriously, lol. It was around lunchtime, and I happen to be in the area and found this place. Looked very unassuming from the outside, matter of fact, thought it was just a small soup place. They are located in what appears to be a circa 1960s strip mall, but a well kept one. Now, let's get to the freaking food review! Since their namesake includes the word soup, they were not kidding! I dropped by on a Tuesday and they had quite a few choices on the board. I chose their mushroom and wild rice soup, along with a diner staple, the legendary patty melt. Man oh man, they did not disappoint. The soup was piping hot and so was my patty melt. Coincidence or otherwise, both were definitely hot and fresh... I was a very satisfied lunch diner. The soup was perfectly seasoned and they did not skimp on ingredients. The patty melt was definitely hot and juicy and quite tasty. The service was great as well, and if I remember correctly, the gent who took my order told me he and his parents are the current owners. Definitely worth your time to try for the first time and formulate your own opinions! Date of visit 4.21.26.

    Clubs sandwich with turkey. Was absolutely delicious and they used real turkey not deli slices.

    This is my new favorite place to get lunch. Every soup I've tried has been amazing. The staff are so kind and the shop is cute.

    Food took a long time . Arrived burnt . We asked for no butter on the toast they put butter . Don't see this place staying open for too long .

    My sister and I stumbled across this place, and couldn't be happier we did. If you're a simple, wholesome person, who loves a great breakfast, with a hole in the wall feel, this is the place for you! You can sit down or upstairs, we sat upstairs, and enjoyed a private conversation. We still felt as part of the rest of the restaurant as we would've down stairs. The service was excellent! We were not forgotten about and checked on regularly. The food was AMAZING! So good and at a great price.

    This is the best place to eat in Riverside. We have been coming here for years and never had an issue. The country fried steak and eggs is the best.

    From the outside I almost missed this place. Luckily the placard caught my eye, because the food is very good - and the restaurant actually IS larger on the inside, including an upstairs area. It's nicely decorated, giving a comfy welcoming feeling. The women's bathroom is even cute, and spacious, and clean. The chicken rice soup was excellent! And it looks like they always have turkey items on the menu, which is unusual, but very nice to find - turkey being only seasonal in so many restaurants. I think they're only open to 2pm today; but they serve breakfast & lunch until closing. Oh, the waitress was attentive and helpful, even offering to bring an ice tea to go. I really look forward to coming back. This was a great find!

    Had Sunday brunch here. Private parking lot, majority of seating is inside but they did have one table outside. There's two floors - looks like stairs only, and restrooms are located upstairs just something to be mindful of if incase someone has mobility issues. Service was definitely slow. And it wasn't just our party that felt this way, we had an older gentleman (customer) come up to us and ask if we had placed our order already, we said yes, and he replied that he felt as if he had been forgotten about. Another table sent one of their teenagers downstairs to check on the wait time of their food. So it wasn't just us - seemed as if everyone was a bit frustrated and antsy, wondering where their food was or what was taking so long. As far as the food goes, it tasted fine! Not a lot of flavor in my opinion but it was not bad whatsoever. Just a little plain but still okay.

    For some reason I've never noticed this small restaurant tucked into the Brockton Street arcade in central Riverside. Part of the older city, one can find lots of small specialty shops in surrounding areas and a number of restaurants too. Craving soup as the weather is slowly transitioning from interminable summer to fall, this came up in the Yelp search. We arrived well after noon but before they close, and found the small but cozy dining room mostly full but with room to accommodate. The setup inside reminds me of a Bavarian house with a small upstairs dining area overlooking the room below. Already decorated for Halloween, it creates a kid-friendly atmosphere. The menu is typical American and Mexican cuisine, more of the former than latter, and breakfast is a big draw as are housemade soups, that vary throughout the week. My tummy said breakfast and the so-called Garbage Plate contains a few of my favorite things, not limited to biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, eggs, and home fries with onions and peppers. My gf was feeling Corned Beef Hash, which also includes eggs any style, home fries, and a side of pancakes. A great sampling we thought. Coffee, however, is pretty weak, even for a typical institution style. Hard pass there is my recommendation. Her soup arrived first, shredded beef with vegetables, and we enjoyed the chunky carrots. I thought the breakfast was excellent overall, both of us enjoyed the pancakes. She was on the fence about Corned Beef but everything else was good. I really liked the bacon and biscuits. The gravy too was well seasoned without a heavy hand in the pepper department, and the service was decent except: We requested a side of their kielbasa that never arrived but it wasn't on the bill either so mark that up to either a language barrier or absent mindedness. No matter, we ate our fill and will definitely go back in the future.

    Cozy restaurant

    Lovely vibe and delicious food. Truthfully, service is usually a bit on the slow side, but it's a small place, everyone is working hard, and there's usually a lot of customers. Servers are also very kind.

Our party kept growing throughout the meal as more family members joined, and the staff was incredibly accommodating and kind about adjusting our table each time. The brunch options were fantastic with both sweet and savory choices. My personal favorite was the omelet bar it was fresh, delicious, and made exactly how I wanted it. They also had great kid-friendly options like fries and mac and cheese, which made the little ones very happy. The service really stood out. The staff kept our champagne glasses filled and were attentive without being intrusive. I also loved that they had aguas frescas available for guests to serve themselves, which meant no waiting around for refills. And the sweet bread selection was a perfect touch to round out the meal along with their chocolate strawberry fountain and ice cream. Overall, it was a great place to celebrate a special occasion. The ambiance of mariachi singing and dancing in the back also added special element. Excellent food, wonderful service, and a very accommodating team. We'll definitely be back!

The owner, Santiago, allowed us to come a half hour beforehand to decorate & we came in, not knowing what to expect. Upon our arrival, the birthday cake was promptly whisked away to the kitchen, we found Santiago PERSONALLY on his hands & knees fixing the electrical cords for us, our servers introduced themselves & graciously helped us rearrange the set-up to accommodate the band we brought in. Then helped us rearrange the layout yet again once we realized the band needed to be next to the electrical outlets. I was embarrassed to even ask so I started doing it myself but they jumped right in without being asked. If I'm being honest, usually I'm not a fan of buffet meals, so I wasn't expecting much. But everything served was SO delicious! The fajitas were my favorite dish, not only flavorful but also nice & moist. Not only that, but they refilled the food for us as it ran out. They brought out to-go boxes for the leftovers, & best believe my family took home every last bite! The lime margarita tower was SO yummy but also hella dangerous because it was strong!! Other restaurants will give you watered down drinks but El Patron doesn't play. We were only planning on one but it was so good, we couldn't resist getting another. From start to finish, the servers (Leslie and Cecilia) were on POINT. Their service went above & beyond expectations-- continuously checking on us, refilling drinks/food, taking photos, etc. Not only that, but also, when my young autistic nephew unfortunately got sick, they were so incredibly compassionate about it & helped clean up the mess right away. I was absolutely blown away by the attention to detail & quality of care. As my grandma is getting older, we are especially cherishing these final years with her. We spent thousands overall (venue, music, photographer, special mass, etc) but every last cent was worth seeing her happy with all of her loved ones. After many months of planning, I was super nervous about something going wrong but I can honestly say that core memories were made. Thank you to Santiago, Leslie & Cecilia for your hospitality, good food & work ethic-- it truly meant so much for our family unit.
