Green Taco Riverside Reviews
Very good breakfast burritos and chilaquiles. Been back multiple times and had the same excellent experience every time. Service is quick and they easily made accommodations/substitutions.
I ordered the green chilaquiles with chicken and eggs today 8/02/24, and they were delicious! The man in the front was very hospitable, I also got to taste the birria and I can’t wait to go back and get some birria tacos! 10/10 :)
The food is so great definitely a great spot for authentic Mexican food 😊would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new great spot. Will definitely be going back😃 The green salsa tastes great, red salsa spicy but great flavor. Taco Tuesday with homemade tortilla with your choice of meat onions and cilantro 😋the burritos have perfectly soft rice with rich creamy beans choice of juicy meat salsa cilantro onion. Add some fresh limes then enjoy ☺️ can’t ever get photos of it since every time I just want to eat it 😂
Great breakfast burrito! Lots of meat! Not just a bunch of potatoes and pico like all the other places around. 10/10 customer service very friendly staff.
Food is delish. Great customer service. Go to this spot.
I had chicken tacos and a bean and cheese burrito the first time I came and the food was FIRE!! The bean and cheese burrito was one of the best I've had, not your typical beans and cheese. I don't know the name of the beans but they are really light brown, almost looks like pinto beans, and the cheese is white. Very good! The food was so good I came back the very next day and ordered chicken tacos and el pastor tacos, again fire!! They also have real Coke in a bottle from Mexico with real sugar lol, bonus! I will be eating here often when I am in the area. Highly recommend!!
Been coming here for a couple years foods great. I usually get the tacos and they come hooked up with meat not ur regular small tacos they use the bigger tortillas
What a wonderful tacos spot. Everything was delicious. Well season meet and salsa. Finally a tacos shop that I can go to and trust cause lately it's hard to find a good spot. You guys need to come and try their food!!! I want to thank the staff for it's wonderful service and food!!
The food was excellent, very filling, and good portions for the price. Also the Cashier had an immaculate line up, 5 stars.
Food was made to order. Getting food at night, next door is a workout studio with loud music that may disturb you from eating. Overall, food was delicious
I love their food I mostly get the Machaca Burrito and red sauce 😋
Plenty of food at reasonable prices. Food is very GOOD! You have to pay for chips but the salsa is free (both are very good.) Workers are nice. Dining room is small (sometimes a little warm for an old lady 🤭) so take it to go. Breakfast, lunch and dinner so come any time, always plenty of parking. I have dined in and taken to go. I highly recommend Green Taco. I drive out of my way to eat here. 😋
As someone who isn’t Mexican, I usually find Mexican food to be hit or miss, but this place is definitely a hit. The food is flavorful, well prepared, and really tasty.
I don't know why this place isn't at 5 stars. The food is amazing, big portions, and we can't forget the staff, wonderful people. 🤌🤌🤌☺️
They have a fantastic breakfast as well. This is a family restaurant that makes amazing tacos, burritos, and everything else. I just love it.
This is a great spot for some amazing savory mexican food. They have many items on their menu, which gives visitors a great variety to choose from. They breakfast burritos are more than filling for the price, and the chilaquiles plate they have is phenomenal! It's one of the few places that does it right. I highly recommend this restaurant. The owner and his family work the restaurant and are very caring and offer exceptional customer service. They also do serve menudo. I have only had the pozole, which is fantastic! It's their family recipe. You won't find a better pozole. Overall, it's a modest restaurant with plenty of options for the entire family.
True mexican food, no nonsense (always fresh and healthy) and you always leave full. 💪
I have had to travel to the area quite a few times for work this year, and I am glad I found The Green Taco the first time I was out. I have had their breakfast burrito, carne asada burrito, quesabirria tacos and their asada fries. All of these items have been great. Their people are friendly and always looking to be helpful and make suggestions. Atmosphere is exactly what you would expect from a taco shop, but it is clean. I will continue to stop in anytime I am in the area, this is my go to taco spot in Riverside and it should be yours also!
Best Taco Spot on This Side of Town!!! The Lengua tacos was fire, great taste just like if the wife made them at home!!!
the food is so good! authentic & full of flavor. the atmosphere is great they are always busy but still get the food out fast! i’m eating a burrito as i leave this review because it’s probably one of the best mexican food places i have ever eaten at! SO GOOD.
The food was amazing 👏 I got the shrimp and pastor taco, so good. And the service was amazing, the workers here are so nice and hardworking. This place felt so welcoming. Its a bit pricy but if you want tasty food go here.
Edit: 10/6/2024 - just had their chilaquiles this place is the best place for breakfast I have been to in years. Still need to try their birria and menudo. Be back with a review soon. Breakfast chorizo burrito is the best I have had. I don’t write reviews, but I specifically made an exception for this. Consistently delicious and service feels like family. Don’t skip. Worth every penny.
Chilaquiles res spicy 🔥🔥🔥. The rice and beans 😋😋. Out of left field with the taste. I can't add photos because I woofed them down to fast.
My favorite breakfast spot. I get the chorizo plate or let them pick for me. Small family business and they treat me like family there.
This restaurant is the best! They have excellent customer service, excellent attitudes, excellent food, and excellent expectations out of their employees. The food was delicious and the prices are definitely fair. I had a breakfast burrito and it was the best I ever had. It’s family owned so it’s definitely has one mind set and that’s to serve the customers. It’s a clean atmosphere and they stay busy. Check it out!!!
5/5 taste - tacos and burrito are really good. I wish the nachos were crispier but the toppings were good. The fish tacos were crunchy and had good sauce. 5/5 ambience - restaurant is clean 5/5 service - friendly staff and fast service 5/5 value Will come back again
After seeing this location for a while now finally made it in to try their posole and the chicken asada plate which I ordered with flour tortilla and made it into three yummy filled tacos. The food was good and the service was very nice.
Breakfast was amazing… I really love their carnitas burritos.
Incredibly delicious food I am in Avocado Burrito love with Green Taco! This is absolutely a hot secret get the red sauce for a bit of spicy! The green is flavor the whole place is flavor! This burrito don’t need sauce! I am teary 🥹 this is so good, so blessed! I chose the chicken, the chicken chose me. I am so happy I stopped here! Normally I save some for my dog. Not today Marley, not today…maybe a bite 😆
The best and biggest breakfast burrito....El gordo with coffee de la holla
This Family owned Latino Business is what makes it special. Fantastic, welcoming service with a smile every time. Food is priced well, plenty of healthy selections as well. Hand made tortillas, Quality that matches your dollar. Must visit!
The service was excellent!! Dining area and kitchen are clean and organized. I had the Asada Torta and my girlfriend had the shrimp salad. Both were tasty!

I had to do the Gorda Breakfast Burrito 😋 with extras: All meats Cilantro Grill both sides and WOW‼️🙏🏽 was I impressed… Delicious yet I had to tap out with only half eaten. I suggested a Food Challenge: Eat it all in 15 minutes‼️😳
My review is only about the breakfast burritos. Breakfast burritos are very important in Riverside, and I have had them from most places. However, Green Taco's breakfast burritos are just better. The ingredients are the same, but something in the prep makes them better, lighter, fluffier, and overall superior to the others. They just hit. Service is also on point, fast, and efficient. Go check it out, and you will see what I am talking about.
This is by far my favorite place to eat. Great food, clean, and the staff is amazing. Me and my family love coming here.

Food is pretty good but it’s on the pricey side I will be back but it seems to be on the expensive side
Solid street and regular tacos. I got carnitas (really good) and asade (good enuf) street. Spouse, who is not a big taco person, liked her regular pastor taco, ate it all. Lady at the counter was a delight. And I got a fried jalapeno to round it out - yum.
Went it for cpl breakfast burritos, did not disappoint....service from what I could see while was in there was on point

Was going home to San Diego from Las Vegas and made a pit stop here since it was on the way home. I got the Gordo breakfast burrito for $20. Was supposed to be their “big” burrito but I was disappointed by the size. I’ve had “big” burritos that were the size of my arm. This one was only the size of my hand, my hand is large, size 16 ring. I think they use “big” loosely. The ingredients were good nice and delicious and not with an overly sodium nasty feeling after.

I got a breakfast burrito and I thought that it would be delicious as I expected but I was wrong. It was so dry, much drier than the IE. Maybe it was missing something. At least I had plenty of sauces to add. Service was good. I was greeted and smiled at. I would give it another try but not the breakfast.

So this place has been hyped soo much by social media and honestly it disappointed me. The flavor was ok on the burrito kinda bland needs more seasoning. The salsa was ok I guess..
The menu say $15 for avocado burrito. I got charge $20 for one. Not sure if they charge $5 for the meat cuz they didn’t tell me. Be carful of pricing here cuz they may charge you extra for anything. I told them I didn’t want bean so they let me sub it with rice. One review say it is too much filling and not enough meat and I agree. For $15 it wasn’t too bad but $20 is a scam. There so little meat for $20 and barely any avocado. They also don’t know how to fill it cuz the cheese was cold and unmelted on one side. Then the other was mostly lettuce and rice til half way when you finally get meat and avocado. I would be carful ordering cuz the prices aren’t the same as the menu. The instagram video I saw say best green salsa but it is very watery. I wouldn’t come back cuz the weird extra charges and mediocre food for that price too.

The service was good. Nice and friendly. However the food, not at all. First time here, ordered a machaca burrito. I payed $20 for a Jamaica and a potato burrito. The machaca was non existent! Will not be returning here.
Skimped out on meat It’s all hype just for the gram off camera. They don’t put enough meat. They pack it with beans and not worth the money. Good service though

Way to expensive!!!. They charged me $24 dollars for one wet burrito. No side of chips and salsa NOTHING just the burrito for $24. Total rip off...... if you like over paying this is the place for you
