    out. The vibes are so cool-- it's an old 1950s gas station turned into a taco shop, and they really lean into the theme with the decor and "car part" menu names. The outdoor patio is great for hanging out, and the food came out surprisingly fast even though it was a bit busy. I had the Route 66 Burrito (the fries inside are a game-changer), and the salsa bar actually has some decent heat. It's just a fun, laid-back spot to grab a bite. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and want something with more personality than a typical chain!

    Such a cool, fun vibe. Pretty busy for 10:00 am. You can either order inside or sit on the bar area and place your order there. Good menu variety and extremely reasonably priced. Staff is friendly and everyone seems to have a good time. They open at 6:00 am if you need your morning fix. Margaritas are flavorful and pack a punch. Taquitos were crispy and filled with meat. Really enjoyed them and will definitely be back.

    Came here with the boys after work at 6am. They were open and had a full menu and bar at 6am! I ordered the quesobirra tacos. They were good! Not the best I've had but still really good! I also ordered the guacamole and chips. The guacamole was average. They have an outdoor bar with plenty of seating at their outdoor patio and plenty of seating inside. They have a really good tequila selection and the price is decent. The service was great. Our bartender was quick with our orders and very polite. I'll definitely be back here again

    Great early-morning ambiance, good food, and if canela coffee isn't strong enough for you--no worries, the bar opens at 6am.

    This eatery is located right next to the Riverside Main library and Tíos tacos in downtown Riverside. It can look a bit unsuspecting but it's gas station decor and twinkling lights help it stand out. There's also a sign signaling the name of it. I've been here a handful of times and it is a friendly atmosphere. They have a large menu, with a breakfast as well. There is something for everyone. My go tos here are usually the ziggy fries or the nachos. I've heard great things about their seafood here. The horchata is also very delicious. You place your order by walking inside and waiting for your number to be called when your order is ready. There is usually a ton of people here and can get crowded on the weekends. It can be a little hectic to get items you need, like salsa. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The dining area is a patio, and it's huge. Plenty of tables to sit at. There's an open bar as well. They had Valentine's Day special drinks, like the Valentine margarita, which is huge, and the strawberry daiquiris. It's an alcohol based slushie. Depending on how many people there are, your order can take a minute. But usually it doesn't take too long and you'll be served quickly. The ziggy fries and nachos are great!

    We were looking for a new place for a quick bite in Riverside and stumbled upon this gas station theme place. So glad we did!!! They really know how to do a theme! From the car topiaries to the gas pumps, they do it up right. I love the colorful setting, and we got a bonus of Christmas decorations. Very festive! With the exception of four stools alone a window counter, all of the seating is outdoors. There is a full service bar. You order at the counter and wait for your number to be called. The girl that helped us at the register was very sweet and served us with a smile. The food didn't take too long. We weren't very hungry, so we skipped the combos with beans and rice and ordered cheese enchiladas, a carne asada taco, and a shredded beef taco. We liked it all. Hubby grabbed the avocado salsa from the salsa bar, and it was delish! Will this place be in repeat for us? Yes!

    Love this place and it is really coming up as the place to hang out with a new outdoor bar and patio seating on the boulevard. The food is always delicious and inexpensive! The service is friendly and fast! Getting beans in the chile relleno burrito proved challenging (too wet to roll she said), so not sure what that was about. We're eating shrimp and fish tacos and a chile relleno burrito outside in the breeze. Top 25 places to cruise by and eat. The new Topiaries are nifty looking!

    Visiting family for the holidays and went out for Taco Tuesday. It's amazing how this establishment started out on a small scale and was always very family style and has grown into a medium to large dining/bar style restaurant with the same quality food and drinks. Enjoyed two asada tacos with 3 different salas, fish taco and a mango margarita on the rocks. Love the outdoor holiday atmosphere and our server was very attentive even with the crowd. Stop by and enjoy!

    Best fish tacos!!! The chicken taco is solid and the tomatillo is yummy but danggggg get the fish tacos. The service is quick and friendly and the prices are fair. Super cool atmosphere and tons of space to eat. The bar area is very clean and open. There are fun things to look at car related and it's just a great spot!

    Late lunch early weekday dinner. Beautifully decorated, very welcoming staff. I had a Michelada with Modelo Especial and a chile relleno. Both were fabulous! Definitely a spot great for groups. Extensive menu, full bar. Combo plates include refillable soft drinks and a self serve salsa bar. 90% of the seating is outdoors so dress accordingly if it is cool or windy. Food-5 Service-5 Value-5
