Tina's Mexican Food

Bomb Food! Must try if you're in the Riverside area! Different deals every day of the week!

I loooooove me some Tina's, but it was just okay today. Maybe it's because they were really busy, and possibly unprepared for a hectic Monday lunch.Ordered the shredded beef taco family combo, $40- 10 small tacos, rice, beans, chips, and salsa. This deal is solid, and usually does us right, but today the tacos were a lightweight miss. I think they were really over-fried because the tortillas were unpleasantly crispy, and the meat was really dry. Although usually very fresh tasting, today's taco seemed like they were a bit old, and even had me briefly questioning if they were off. Thankfully they were alright, as it seems I was just being overly cautious. Unfortunately, although it was only about noon, they were already out of the green salsa.Adding to the unusual day, was a bit of a ruckus happening in the dining room. No bueno.Tina's tastes like home, but today it didn't quite hit the mark. The beans and rice were good as usual though.Thanks Tina's. See you again soon.

Quick service. Small place but friendly people. The shredded beef soft taco was like biting into beef jerky with no flavor. The beans and rice were good. The cheese enchilada had cheese that wasn't completely melted and it was disappointing that it was bagged cheese. Fresh shredded would've been so much better.

Every town has a few establishments that qualify as "institutions." Some sport novelty in lieu of inferior food (Tios Tacos), some have great bread but third string filler (Delia's), and others have a killer setting, but fail in QPR (any restaurant at the Mission Inn). Luckily, there are outstanding tacos to be had in areas locals know well, such as Tuxies, El Trigo, Tony's Tacos, Dos Hermanos, and here, Tina's. I've amassed a good profile of their tacos and burritos and can say they're consistent. The salsa won't win any prizes, but everything is definitely consistent. Let's start with the namesake: Tacos. OK, I have tried a profile worth, crunchy, and soft. My favorite tends to be Carne Asada (soft only) and shredded beef. After the beef, I rank chicken second and ground beef last. The beans are alright, but I have to agree with other reviews that the rice is kinda sad. Nothing adding their thickish salsa won't cure, but not a sales point. Service is always friendly here, so that's a highlight for me. Parking, on the other hand, is hit or miss, even on the adjacent street. I like to mix up my meals, and while different in taste to, say, Tony's, Tina's tacos are a little smaller and cheaper. I can eat 2-3 and feel satisfied. The wet burritos are also a solid choice, and they have daily specials, too. I'd say their strong suits outweigh any criticisms.

Best ground beef tacos around. So hard to find. Excellent cheese enchiladas. And the red salsa is delicious.

Food amazing ,.service is great , prices are good. Just have to be cautious when exiting your vehicle.

Amazing food and friendly serviceWow my veggie burrito was customized for me so wonderfulThe staff here are so friendlyI love it here every time I'm traveling through riverside

I ordered the California wet burrito with shredded beef. I regretted it. The shredded beef was drenched in red sauce. It had more sauce than meat. I couldn't even taste the beef. The sauce was overwhelming. The sauce on the outside is fine but why is the meat also drenched. It made it so soggy. The California burrito is also supposed to have beans and sour cream inside and it didn't have it at all. They also put a whole lot of cheese on everything. Kind of like a filler. Tasted like red sauce and cheese.

I'm 43 years old and ive been eating here since I was a little boy back at their original spot in Rubidoux. It's my comfort food and brings back memories of growing up at my nanas house

Tim's always have good food for a good price. I love the hard shell chicken tacos and my husband gets the tilapia plate.
