Retro Taco: Reviews & Ratings
This is by far the best Mexican restaurant in all of downtown Riverside. Dont get tricked into PalencoPALENCOLE again, thats PALENCOLE. Its overpriced, overrated, and simply not worth it. ...
Great place to have tacos in downtown riverside. Food menu is very unique. Tacos are amazing. I also tried some of the street foods. The hot dog was amazing. We had a great time. Beer menu is huge and have a bunch of local beers on draft. ...
This place serves a fusion of Mexican and slight adaptations of tacos. Tacos can cost 3 each premium service. If you like unique and creative adaptations of tacos, this place is for you. ...
We stopped in for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. Large menu with a great selection of foods. We started with Corn in a cup and two ice cold beers. For lunch my wife had a Chili Verde wet Burrito and I had Chili Quillies, rice, beans ...
Amazing super unique tacos. Stopped in here when I was on my way to Riverside on a fluke. What a great find. If youre in the area. Diffidently stop by and taste the difference tacos they have to offer. Tasty and different. Super cool place.
This place is under new management. Food was great tasting but kind if small portions. The mimosa flight was great.
Friendly and accommodating staff and owner John made us feel welcome! Food was good and reasonably priced and we were able to take our time and have a leisurely dinner.
What a great surprise! Had no idea what to expect so I ordered a chipotle shrimp taco a la cart. WOW!!! A flavor explosion not hot but so darn GOOD! My friend had the Pork Bao Buns and she really enjoyed them. Very relaxed atmosphere.
