I really wanted to like El Fagón Mexican Grill because my mom and brother hyped it up so much, but…read moreunfortunately my experience was very disappointing. My family and I ordered carne burritos, and they were extremely dry honestly dry all the way through the middle. There was no sour cream, no guacamole, and nothing to balance the flavor. Before ordering, I even asked if they had pico de gallo, and the employee told me no, but said the guacamole had pico in it. When we got home, there was no guac at all in the burritos, which made them even drier. To clarify, I called the next morning to ask what normally comes inside a carne burrito. The employee I spoke with seemed unsure at first and asked which one I meant, listing different options but when I ordered in person, no one asked me to choose. I was just handed a burrito with rice and beans, and that was it. What disappointed me the most was the lack of customer service. After explaining the issue, there was no offer to remake the food, no refund, not even a partial credit just a "that's weird." Overall, it did not live up to the hype at all. Between the dry food, missing ingredients, and lack of resolution, I don't feel like it was worth the money. I was really hoping for a better experience.

Coming all the way from Northern Nevada, my husband and I had one mission while our San Diego trip:…read morefind fish tacos. We absolutely lucked out with this place! We walked in on a bustling Friday afternoon and were instantly hit with good energy. The decor is vibrant, fun, and modern--bright colors, beautiful mural-painted walls, and marbled blue floors that have a coastal vibe. The menu had a great variety of both land and sea options, ranging from birria tacos and shrimp cocktails to fresh ceviche. Here is what we down. I ordered one shrimp taco and one fish taco. Husband ordered the fish taco plate, with well-seasoned rice and beans. Our meal hit the SPOT. The fish and shrimp were freshly fried to order in a delicious, crispy batter that wasn't overpowering the seafood. Also, they feature a green salsa packed with chunks of onion and jalapeño, alongside a traditional creamy fish taco sauce. That fish taco sauce is FIRE. It packs a much bigger spicy punch than the watered-down sauces you usually get at most restaurants, and it was delicious! If you are in the area, this is a must-stop. We will 100% be back the next time we visit San Diego!

The layout is the same with brighter colors, an updated kitchen and a more vibrant feel. Beautiful outdoor patio which I'd like to try on a future visit. I am a Chile relleno fan and am always in search of the best in town. Habaneros is right up there at the top of my list. Light, cheesy, flavorful. My only hesitation is that the sauce was a little more tomatoey, with less depth of spices for my taste. The refried beans make an authentic tic Mexican food eatery and these beans are delicious. Top notch. My mom and I enjoyed our enchiladas; great sauces and tender, yummy stuffings. The complimentary chips and homemade salsa were also really good. With so much Mexican food to choose from in Riversode, it's nice to have a place that combines great food with efficient, fun service and a clean and festive cafe.

The staff is super friendly, from the register to the cook, making it a really welcoming atmosphere. Clean, cool vibe, and plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. Overall, I had a good lunch experience here and will definitely be back.

I've never had anything here that I didn't like. The only thing is that the guacamole is more like a soft, creamy avocado sauce or dip than the traditional guac you would usually find in a restaurant or make at home, but it's still tasty though. Service is almost always very friendly. The location leaves a lot to be desired - it's in perhaps the ugliest part of University Ave., surrounded by run-down buildings and unhoused folks making themselves comfortable at the outdoor tables. There's quite a bit of seating for customers inside though. Despite the location, I've never had any trouble, and I gladly make the trip from over on the other side of town to get my Dos Hermanas fix.

My mom's been staying with me and she wanted some Menudo so of course we had to go to Zacatecas…read more It's the best in Riverside! Zacatecas is a family owned, authentic, traditional Mexican style restaurant, and they've been open since 1969. You know this place is good because they close at 3pm everyday and they stay in business. We ordered 2 Large Menudos and 1 Shredded Beef Taco and I did find the pricing very steep. It was almost $50. The menudo, alone, was $19 each. The menudo is full bodied and rich in flavor. This is one that actually doesn't need a lot of lemon because of that. It includes the menudo spices, oregano, lemon, cilantro, onions, and corn tortillas. I can make 2-3 meals out of the portion, so it's definitely shareable. This was the 1st time I was absolutely disappointed in the shredded beef taco (due to packaging). We got it to go and they wrapped it in foil and placed it between two hot bowls or menudo. By the time I got home, the cheese was melted and the lettuce was completely wilted. It made it almost inedible. If you dine in, they actually give you hot mole sauce to enjoy with your chips and salsa but if you get it to go, they charge you. I don't understand that but that's how it's always been. This restaurant also offers catering and can host events up to 150 people. Something to keep in mind if planning a party or event. The ambiance is perfect of an evening event. With the exception of my shredded beef taco, this remains one of my favorite Mexican food spots

The meal started off strong with their chips and salsa--super fresh and flavorful. For my entrée, I had the chicken fajitas. While they were cooked properly, I wish they had a bit more seasoning to really bring out the flavor. My wife had the enchiladas divorciadas, which were beautifully presented, but unfortunately, the filling was a bit cool. She probably should have sent it back, but since we were in a hurry, we didn't bother. On the positive side, my daughter had the carne asada burrito, and she said it was excellent. Service started off great with our younger male waiter being very attentive at first, but it slowed down significantly as our meal went on. By the end of our visit, I actually had to go up to the register to ask to pay. It was lunch time, and it wasn't that busy, so this felt a bit out of the ordinary. Despite the hiccups, I'm willing to give Morena's Mexican Cuisine another try, as it may have just been an off day. The chips and salsa, along with my daughter's burrito, showed that they definitely have what it takes to impress. I'll reserve final judgment after my next visit!
