This was probably one of the most authentic and delicious Mexican restaurants that I have ever been to. As soon as I walked through the door I was slapped in the face with a fantastic rendition of Selena's Bidi Bidi Bom Bom being sung in one of the most lit Karaoke parties I've ever witnessed. The whole restaurant was vibin and I was here for it....and some chips and salsa. The staff and service was awesome. We were kind of on a time crunch but they got us in and out no problem, even with the restaurant being pretty packed. With that being said, the parking lot is not very big so parking may be hard to find. You know I got the carne asada tacos (my fav), and they were absolutely delicious. The rice and bean were also delicious, but the rice really stood out for me. I'm a big fan of the veggies inside. If I drank alcohol regularly I would definitely have tried one of the cool drinks in the drink menu because they look super fun, and that's what I usually go for. Kids eat free Monday and Wednesday! Check this place out. Super fun. Super delicious. I will be back if I'm in riverside again.

I went on a Friday night, and they had karaoke, which was a lot of fun. It was entertaining to watch people sing classic Mexican songs!
