Riverside Cantina | Mexican

This is a great spot. The food is mediocre, with the exception of the tortilla chips, which were great. The place is tidy - even the bathrooms. The guy who was working the counter/bar was awesome. But I feel like I got the short end of the stick. My buddy got a huge burrito. My other buddy got a huge burrito bowl. But the chicken tacos were a rip off. $20 for 3 very small tacos and a small bowl of rice & beans. So I would recommend going here and avoiding the tacos.

I’ve been twice now, had Al Pastor tacos first visit and the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich next visit. Both were phenomenal. Chicken was crunchy, juicy and insanely flavorful. The yuca chips were a great touch. Margaritas were delicious too! Only critique I could have is I think the lighting inside is a bit cold. Would be nice if the lights were warmer inside.

Won a giveaway a couple of weeks ago and decided to pop in for taco Tuesday. And the food did not disappoint. Everything tasted extremely fresh. Immediately you noticed how clean and new everything is on the inside. They do have outdoor seating and wish you could bring your dog, but I'm not sure how they're gonna handle it during the colder months. This place isn't that big and they filled up pretty quickly after 5 PM. This place is own and operated by the same people who run The other restaurant Riverside a few blocks up. The food was actually pretty good. All the ingredients tasted fresh like it was from the farmers market or something. I also enjoyed the fact that, even though I was sitting at the bar, I can see my food be made, and prepared, which added that comforting factor. The bartender Joe, I believe his name was, awesome and on point even though it was just him and one other person managing the whole restaurant that evening. Plenty of TVs to watch the game, they even had some low music playing also. I went on a Tuesday, which was the perfect day because they were having taco specials three tacos of your choice for $9 and the House margaritas were $6 with $5 beer. Their prices seem reasonable for the most part but I definitely see myself coming on Tuesday to get more bang for my buck. Drinks were made really good And too perfection. That dragon fruit margarita instantly became my favorite. I would love to see this place cater to all of the different communities in the area. I feel like that will make them even more popular.

Visited the newly opened Riverside Cantina and enjoyed every bit of it! You walk in, grab a seat, and someone is with you right away. Even though they’re still working out a few kinks as a new spot, the staff moves quickly and works hard to take care of everyone. The team was super friendly and talkative, which made the busy atmosphere feel welcoming and relaxed. We sat at the bar and tried their signature cocktails—they were fairly priced, delicious, and generously poured. The food was just as impressive: fresh, hot, and exactly as described on the menu. One thing we really liked was that the menu leans into a fun happy-hour and bar food vibe, but the quality and flavor go above and beyond. There's truly something for everyone. Give them a shot! I truly hope they stick around!

If you’re looking for a spot with great vibes, solid food, and even better service, Riverside Cantina absolutely delivers. The service here is consistently top-notch, and Danny the bartender really stands out—friendly, attentive, and knows how to keep the experience fun without missing a beat. Food-wise, you can’t go wrong, but do yourself a favor and order the steak burrito bowl—no lettuce, with a side tortilla. Trust me on this one. It’s packed with flavor and easily one of the best things on the menu. The quesadillas are also a must—perfectly cooked and loaded with goodness. And if you can swing it, stop by on Taco Tuesday. The deals are legit and make it even easier to try a little bit of everything. All around, Riverside Cantina is a great spot whether you’re grabbing a casual meal or just hanging out at the bar. Can't wait to enjoy the open patio now that the weather is getting nice
