Alvaro's Mexican Food — Restaurant in Riverside

Hands down this place had the best "SUPER FRIES" that you could find in so cal,PERIOD! Been going to this place & have been a returning customer for quit some time now. This place was my go to spot not only for there delicious food but also because the customer service was very welcome in and I always knew each time my food was being cooked and made with love each and every time as the cook just always seemed to enjoy his job and took pride in every last super Fri. He mad every time I went there up untell last night when I walked in as I usually do with the expectation of being greeted buy the 2 men that work nights and always acted like they cared about there customers and welcomed me and acted like they cared and valued me as a customer and would always chit chat and ask me how my day was as they definitely know me as a returning customer and last night well that was far from what I got... As I walked in I greeted them with smile on my face full of excitement to get what I always came for and that was my "SUPER FRIES" cooked with love and perfection as they always we'r! But they didn't even smile or act like they new who I was. Seemed odd as they both didn't even welcome or acknowledge me mumbling in Spanish and turn there backs towards me. So I approached the counter and the guy came to take my order. So with a rude look as if he was not happy to take my order he asked me what I wanted and I explained and knows my useal order but this time no he was rude told the cooked that didn't even acknowledge me when I was trying to say hi as I usually do and he very well knew I was saying hi and asking him how he was doing and I'm happy to be there to get his " SUPER FRIES" that no other cook makes them as he does and I was iknored. Very very rude from the both of them to the point I started thinking to myself i probley should cancel my order and leave but I decided to give them the benefit of dough and when I finally got my food and simply asked for salt and was told they don't have salt for me and that they only have salts for the customers that appreciate them and THIS IS WERE I ALMOST LOST IT... as he was saying they only have extra things for the customers that appreciate them (as hes talking he reached down to the tip jar pulled out a couple doller bills and a five) then orocproceto hold it up and tell me how he only had salt and extra things and only cooks there for good for the customers that value them and leave them tips each and every time they come in. So I knew right there they were upset cause I didn't tip them and that's why they were rude from the start and to top it off my fries were just cold not cooked right and very very awful and did not eat but one bite cause it all came together why my fries were tooken to the back we're they were out of my vision as I thought it was strange when I seen that but I knew there was nothing strange about it and we'll you can only imagine as I did what was really going on! So to the guys that lost a customer and made me leave this review as I never have done or would think about doing even if I was unhappy with any bisness for that matter but I had to leave them there tip right here. So here it is guys! I apologise and from now on I wont only give you "the tip" but you gonna get the whole THING THING!😯😟🍆🔥🍌🌯🌭🍴 NEVER WILL I RETURN THERE AGAIN AND IKK BE LETTING ALL MY BUDDIES KNOW IF THEY GO TO EAT THERE THAT THEY BETTER BE READY WITH PANTS FAT CAUSE THEY GONNA WANT...

Everytime I go to riverside I make sure I come here for there carna asada French fries. This place does them right in every way. The price is a little high but to be honest it's well worth the price if you think about it. They use the real large foam container that hold enough food to feed 3 people. They put a lot of everything. Every single time I've when in there they always make it just the same way. Very consistent and the crew that works there are very welcoming and helpful with the menu. The carna asada burritos are huge and full of meat. We usually have them cut them in half. The flavor and the taste is dead on. The fries are cooked just right not very crispy but just before and the cheese beans and sour cream and carna asada just go together like white on rice. Speaking of rice. They have these rice bowls that are fantastic and just right for one person. Talking about all of this food is making me hungry. Atmosphere is chill.good view if ur sitting by the window. U get to see the oldest orange tree in all of California right across the street. Good stop to...

Let me tell you that if you are craving some carne asada nachos or a burrito or anything else and it's late then you probably already ran into the usual issue these days that no one hardly stays open late anymore because of the pandemic supposedly. These guys not only stay open late but they pump out decent food and they always have a great attitude and customer service every time we drop by there. The carne asada nachos were top-notch compared to a lot of other places locally for this kind of takeout oh, and as usual we will continue to go back as long as the service stays the same! If you haven't stopped by yet, try them out. The inside is a little dated and nothing to write home about but we usually take ours to go and as long as the food is good that's all that matters to me. Thanks guys for helping to feed people who work late shifts...
