La Bufadora Baja Grill - Riverside

Ahhh I've heard people mention this place for awhile . It's always on the short list of :"Where should we eat ? " I was only going to get one potato taco and one fish taco, but I think the cashier misheard me,or just decided to place a better order,because I ended up receiving the two potato taco combo for $5.The single fish taco came to a little over $4. The concept is open kitchen so you can see the cooks making your meal. It came out fast but the fish taco was cold. I still ate it because I was on a time crunch, but I wish it was hot or even warm .The potato in the tacos was mashed and the shell was a corn shell that was fried. I was a little surprised by that, but it worked. When you order the combo you're able to order a fountain drink for a dollar so I ended up adding lemonade. My companion's chose things like fries with toppings and tacos that came with grilled green chilies, so I want to go back and try other things.

I came here for a quick lunch with low expectations. The food was fairly decent but not really worth it in my opinion. There are way better fish taco joints and some are better while simultaneously being cheaper. If you plan on coming, make use of the taco Tuesday deal which includes meat based tacos, or the Wednesday fish taco deal. I came for fish tacos but picked the wrong day. No biggie, they're still fairly affordable at $4 a taco. They tasted pretty good but nothing special in the world of fish tacos.I also decided to try the nachos since a small is only $5. Unfortunately, I assume there was a language barrier issue because I asked for no meat and they came out with beef. The restaurant interior is quiet, pretty big, but also worn down and a little dirty. I wasn't impressed overall, and won't come again.

One of my favorite Mexican spots! They always have delicious food here - they never disappoint! Fast service and clean interior. Plenty of seating. High quality food made with love and care. Recommend stopping by if you are craving mexican food.

I love La Bufadora. I work around the corner and am in here quite often. Work orders take out all of the time. The potatoes tacos and battered fish tacos are incredible. They also have great salsa. I wish they had a liquor license to serve margaritas but sadly they mainly offer beer. If they had a full bar, I would be here at least once a week. They recently renovated the inside so it is so pretty. There are booths running along the side of one wall with tables in the middle. You place your order from the counter and your name is yelled when your food is ready. If you are in the neighborhood and love Mexican food, try this place out.

Love their fish tacos here! Big chunks of swai, battered and fried Baja style or grilled, they are addictive. $3.99 ea, or $3 on Wednesdays. They top them with lettuce, tomato, and the traditional mayonnaise dressing, plus give you little cups of picante red and green salsas made in-house.I have also tried their grilled shrimp tacos. Good, but the fish tacos are what have won my heart. I brought home a small container of ceviche made from Krab (crab flavored fish) that was decent, too. The "small" order made me two meals.The churros ($2 ea or $5 for 3) are made to order, so crisp and warm, not kept under a heat lamp where they end up tough. Delicious! Such a decadent treat that brings back happy memories of the first, yard long ones I ate in Tijuana from a street vendor some 40 years ago. These are just as good, just smaller and missing the authentic olefactory ambiance. These have a cajeta (caramelized condensed milk) filling that oozes out when you bite into those crisp, cinnamony sugar-coated temptations. I've only been here once before, but decided they beat the competition for this area, so well worth a slight drive, 10 miles?, for us. So happy to have found them!

The food is served fast and the fish tacos are bomb.com, better than going to Ensenada! The chili relleno burrito is a must try and their chile toreados jalapeño are spicy deliciously, recommend it. Only one thing the air fresheners smells like restroom recommend different cleaning spray

I was very put off by the smell in this establishment. A restaurant should smell like the stuff they're cooking but unfortunately this place smells like bad plumbing. Gross. Service was just OK as it didn't feel welcoming. The food was good. I got a grilled fish taco and a grilled shrimp taco. They were served with portioned and sealed salsas as their salsa bar seems to be closed. My kid liked her carnitas burrito, and the other kid liked their potato tacos but they were The Tiniest potato tacos ever. Overall, we were not impressed and there are other places that offer this type of food with better service and better air to breathe.

Food is really good. The only thing I had an issue was the lady at the front claudia. I called to place an order and as I was telling her what I wanted and asking her what was in it. She sounded confused, like if she didn't understand what I was saying, so she decided to hang up on me. I showed up in person, placed my order and asked her if she hugged up on me or did we loose connection. She said she was sorry she was busy. This is very unprofessional of her. If she was busy, she could at least put me on hold instead of hanging up. Your staff needs some training!

Fish tacos where amazing recommend this place to anyone who looking for a good tacos place

This place was sooooo good! I can't wait to come back. I was over charged for 3 salsas when I only ordered one...she said I could take the salsas but then they would give me a refund after I was finished eating. I went back for my refund and she asked for the salsas back after she gave them to me. I'm not sure what that was about but I would still come back. I got two protein shrimp tacos. Delicious!
