I got full on the homemade tortillas. The food is really great!!! Honestly just go and try it. I got the steak tacos medium well and it was perfect. The only thing missing was some hot sauce for the tacos. Had to come back to add more info to the review. It is a very busy location but don’t let that deter you from coming!!! As you are seated generally quick like any other restaurant. From time of placing your order to receiving your food, it was on average to your regular restaurant experience. What helps is the chips and salsa and freshly made tortillas.

This place is always a go to for good food. There usually is a little wait at dinner time but you can sit in bar and grab a drink while you wait for table. It’s never been a crazy wait time I think 25 has been the longest I’ve waited there and I’ve been here numerous times. I love that they have plenty of servers so you never feel like you’re waiting for service. You can not beat the homemade tortillas!! You just need to be careful not to eat them all cuz you’ll get full! lol the food is delicious it’s a open bay concept so it is loud, but not annoyingly loud. It’s great place for families with kids. I have no negatives here. Service, food, atmosphere all are 👍

10/10. One of my new favorite restaurants. Service is great, food is top tier!!!! Nice sized portions. Everything is so fresh and delicious. The fresh tortillas are to die for. I got the chicken & steak fajitas and my boyfriend got the shrimp & steak fajitas. We were both so happy with the quality. And it was only $62!! Great quality and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg? Count me in. Don’t miss out on trying this place, will most definitely be going back.

This place makes their own flour tortillas and chips there salsa is made fresh too the only reason I don’t give them 5 stars on the food is because my chicken was so dry and it had no flavor i ordered the chicken fajitas and we also ordered the pollo en plancha and that one tasted juicy and so good the waitresses recommended, it was my first time eating here next time I go I’ll try something else another thing i didn’t like was they didn’t have a cocktail menu!!!

I recently visited Anchos Southwest Grill & Bar in Riverside, CA, and it was an exceptional dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a lively Southwestern vibe that set the tone for a great meal. The menu offered a fantastic variety of Southwestern dishes, and everything we ordered was delicious. The highlight of our meal which was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The fresh, homemade tortillas were a delightful addition and complemented our meal beautifully. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. Overall, Anchos Southwest Grill & Bar exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to return. If you're in Riverside and looking for a place with great food and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend giving Anchos a try!

Thank you Dean and Brianna H for your amazing customer service today. You made our late Mother's day brunch special!! Food was great as always and the people who work here care about what they're doing, it's apparent! (Try the Seafood Enchiladas with Christmas sauce) If you're anywhere within 50 miles of this place, you have to come check it out. Fresh made tortillas in front of you and the food is always fresh and portions are good. Highly recommend!!

The prices are high 25- 30 dollars a meal. The Food is amazing. The portions are generous. It’s crowded 👎 all the time - you can’t hear the person across the table from you. This is not a place to hangout or a date … nope to much noise. I definitely 💯 recommend you visit… at least to try the homemade flour tortillas.

I came here as a kid and haven't been since, but the memories of fresh flower tortillas and Anchos Nachos called me back. 10/10 restaurant for absolutely any occasion. The salsa is also some of the best I've ever had, the fact it's complimentary is astonishing for its quality in today's day and age.
