Anchos Southwest Grill & Bar

Anchos has been here for over 32 years. This award-winning restaurant serves Southwest Tex-Mex style food just as we like it. The restaurant has fun decorations, especially the statue with the poncho and sombrero advertising the lunch specials. All their meats are grilled over mesquite wood, giving them that extra-special flavor. For an appetizer, we recommend the Anchos nachos, a huge pile of nachos covered in their delicious mesquite grilled chicken.

Tio’s Tacos

Tio’s has been a feature of Riverside since 1990. We have to say this restaurant is one of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen. The owner has taken junk and fashioned it into amazing artwork, that will certainly draw your attention. Skeletons on bicycles, a bottle-top bathroom door, and a bicycle on the roof are just a few of the amazing creations. After seeing the care put into the decorations, the care they lavish on creating amazing food is even greater.

The food is authentic Michoacán Mexican. Their menu isn’t large, but it contains all the Mexican foods customers know and love. We recommend the mole enchiladas, with your choice of meat cooked in a sweet and savory mole unique to Michoacán and served with rice and beans. They also have a kid’s menu and vegan and vegetarian options. Tio’s can be found at 3948 Mission Inn Avenue, and they’re open daily from 10 am.

Habanero Mexican Grill

Habanero is a family-owned restaurant that serves old-style California Mexican food. The atmosphere is warm and very welcoming, and the owner will even stop by for a chat. Service is friendly, fast, and very efficient. Their food draws rave reviews from locals and visitors alike for the authentic flavors, healthy portions, and excellent value for money.

We recommend the Camarones a la Diabla, shrimp in a spiced sauce with guacamole, rice, and refried beans. For a vegetarian option, the fajita vegetable enchiladas hit the spot.
