Taco Station

We were staying down at the Mission Inn and my son (who visits the area often) recommended this Mexican restaurant on the corner of Mission Inn and Brockton. In fact, he got so excited telling us about it that he decided to take the half hour drive out and join us down there himself! We are sure glad he did - Taco Station is fantastic!A short walk from our hotel (maybe a half mile of so), the theming of the restaurant is priceless - it's loaded with classic car and service garage memorabilia. I understand their outside bar area is a recent addition and, the Saturday of our visit, was replete with live DJ music and a variety of sports games on the many monitors ringing the area above the bar. The patio cultivates a relaxing, welcoming vibe, and the bar staff is friendly and efficient.Food ordering is a walk-up affair with outside patio seating. The register staff, busing crew, and food preparers are as equally pleasant and efficient as their bar counterparts. The salsa bar and beverage dispenser areas were clean - even with all the weekend evening activity - and outside tables were quickly wiped down and made ready for the next guests.We loved the food so much that we returned for a late breakfast the Monday of our hotel checkout. In appreciation of my son's dining suggestion, we gifted him some Pirate Tacos on our return home. These style tacos would be his recommendation to you, but I would assert that ALL the food at Taco Station is solid!

MehFish taco was good but the al pastor burrito was pretty flavorless. Salsas have zero flavor. Staff was very nice.

The food is good , everything is authentic, service is fast , ambience is good family and bar area !

Love this place! Lots of seating. I come here at least once a week with a big group of friends. The staff is friendly and sweet. The food is great! Lots to choose from. The flautas de pastor are my favorite! Their guacamole salsa is delicious. The prices are reasonable.

I've been a fan of Taco station since I moved to Riverside. Their food is excellent-fresh tortillas, quality fillings, lots of options from quality ingredients. They've added a beautiful outdoor eating area with heaters, ceiling fans and a nice bar. You can order food outside. I was very excited to choose from a Valle de Guadalupe wine list at the outdoor bar. The service was top notch, as always. Looking forward to summer afternoon stops for tacos and a cocktail!

One of the best fried shrimp tacos can be found here. They make the tortillas in house. The salsa bar is nice. Covered outdoor seating and a bar area makes this a nice spot to hang out. The service is friendly and fast making this place very enjoyable.

Amazing food and great service. I love everything that had. The bartender Kristin was very friendly and helpful along with the fixer Mario. The old gas station now taco station is awesome with the bartender's wearing fuel station coveralls. I will be returning the the future.

Good food and drinks. The bar tender, general manager and owner were all nice and friendly. A lot of options on the food menu and at the bar.

Pretty sure the outdoor bar is the draw. It'd be great if it wasn't raining, but they're charging premium prices for really watered down ? At least the beer tasted that way - huge margarita glass, full of ice and a tiny bit of margarita - that kind of thing.. there's a disconnect between the food and the drinks counters You can't get the food and the drinks at the same time though you pay in one - you have to get things from two different places lots of confusion lots of misunderstandings lots of hassle and walking backwards and forward - where there shouldn't have been any hassle - won't be back.Tacos were ok and not premium prices .. shrimp is battered like the fish .. heavy thick batter. Corn Tortillas very thick. Other ingredients ok. Salsas were average.

Great place to sit and enjoy a drink on the patio. Delish food. Tacos and nachos. Kind service. Great place. Been several times. Always a gem.
