"they have a few options at retro taco when they are vegan. they have some jackfruit tacos that are strictly vegan, and they also have some deep roasted avocado tacos that they call woodstock. with the woodstock tacos they must leave the chili-lime aioli because it is not vegan, but they have salsas for extra taste. they also have a good choice of craft beer. the only disadvantage was that I ordered their guacamole and chips because the server said that their guacamole was great and vegan. when it appeared, it could have blown on it. with that said the owners reach me on social media and wanted it with free guacamole (less cheese) and chips when I come."

Great place to come with great employees. Food us good and the drink was great. I found it to be a little more on expensive side. But it's worth going to. Has a great vibe inside

the vegan tacos were very disappointing. I paid $22 for two tiny, unfilled (they lacked a protein source) tacos and a glass beer. definitiw not the price worth and I will not return here.

It took 30 plus minutes for our food to come out. And when it did? *disappointment* This is a $17 brisket bowl lol. Yes, the three pieces of meat in this picture are all that is in the bowl View menu

I found the vegan tacos to be quite disappointing. I spent $22 on two very small and unsatisfying tacos that didn't even have a protein source, along with a glass of beer. Overall, I felt it was not worth the cost and I do not plan on coming back to this restaurant.

I visited the art museum and decided to try their carne asada tacos. The server was very friendly, but unfortunately, the carne asada was dry and lacked flavor. Even the corn was bland. If you're looking for authentic TJ-style tacos, this restaurant is not it. While some people may enjoy it, I was ultimately disappointed. The location is great with plenty of space. However, there is room for improvement as the tacos were missing avocado.

This place serves a fusion of Mexican and slight adaptations of tacos. Tacos can cost $3 each (premium service). If you like unique and creative adaptations of tacos, this place is for you.Staff were very friendly. Apparently Retro Taco hosts artwork classes. The artwork on the walls is very nice.Retro Taco is a nice place to visit for lunch. Very quiet and in downtown.Parking: There is paid parking a few short blocks away. Keep in mind that Retro Taco is in downtown Riverside. View menu

We've been coming here since they opened. It was always our jam, then pinche Covid hit. Started coming back semi-frequently in 2022, but it just wasn't the same. The food and drinks are always great, no issues, no complaints. Very solid. The part that has taken a downward turn is the service. We used to be able to just order from the bar after we sat down, but not anymore. Only from the register. The other part that is disappointing is how sticky the bar has been for the last year. It was never like that when Tyler was here.Just sayin'.

If you're vegan, Retro Taco offers a couple of options for you. They have strictly vegan jackfruit tacos, as well as deep fried avocado tacos called Woodstock. For the Woodstock tacos, you'll need to skip the chili-lime aioli as it's not vegan, but they have salsas for extra flavor. Additionally, they have a nice selection of craft beers. The only downside was when I ordered their guacamole with chips, expecting it to be vegan, but it had cheese sprinkled on top. However, the owners reached out to me on social media to make it right by offering free guacamole with less cheese next time I visit.

"The Habit hamburger chain is pretty above the average fastfood place. Speaking of fast food, this place was not! I am going to likely account for the slower service and preparation due to fact that I straggled in pretty late and not too far from closing time. I noticed several of the young staff standing around behind the counter and in the prep area mostly unproductive and doing nothing but loudly talking and gossipping about others amongst themselves. The conversation seemed somewhat tacky, but no big deal. They were having fun. Meanwhile all this personnel standing around and my order is not being prepared. I see maybe 3 employees actually keeping busy . The one that took my order, another person cleaning the dining area and another bagging up orders for a food delivery service that was coming in to pickup the order. Finally, someone does something and drops some fries in the basket. At this point I distracted myself with my phone. After about five minutes a few more last minute patrons drop in and line up behind the counter while the same group of kids behind the counter mostly disperse back to work but continue to chat back n forth about teenage chit chat. I think that must of been about the time my burger probably hit the grill. My Burger was good and tasty no complaints, but my fries were not so good. They were lukewarm and kinda soggy. I think that they didn't cook in hot enough oil and were removed from the fryer wayyy before my burger was finished being prepared. Like I said, a lot of younger staff and right before closing. With such large staff only two or three seemed to be doing all the work. It seemed like time took forever before my puck ever buzzed for pickup. ALSO THIS LOCATION DOESNT HAVE THE GINGER INFUSED FRUIT JUICE DRINK. Was it replaced by the Mango? I chose the berry lemonade and it was fairly watered down. I mostly am really knit picking , as I enjoy having this as a choice for a place to get an above average burger at a decent price for what ya get!"
