Taco Station

I’m pretty sure I’ve been here at least once a week for the last 4 months. I love the tacos and the salsa is spot on every time. Service is quick and the staff is friendly and accommodating to any special requests we have when we have picky eaters.

Taco station is a great place to eat and hang out with family or friends. I definitely recommend eating outside on the patio.

Great place

Food’s always on it! Tacos are good & good sized, nachos are my fav cuz they are the best I’ve found & huge! 6 different house made salsas. Great selection of bottled mexican & craft beer. Some seating inside & plenty outside. Worth it every time!

OMG! This place is OUTSTANDING yes, love, love LOVE their salsa. First, place in the Inland Empire that they are serving great Mexican Food and FRESH. We visit this place since we found it at least once a month. The gorditas are just out this world, customer services are the best.

Dank tacos. Carnitas were good, but not as good as the fish. Nice sized deep fried fish, hot and delicious. The staff was very nice and service was prompt. Definitely retuning next week.
I forgot to take a picture before stuffing my face. Gorgeous though.

.99 for two teaspoons of guacamole and Maria is the one that told one of the cooks in Spanish not to put that much. Maybe the next time you want to talk crap about your customers in Spanish you should make sure that they don’t speak Spanish as well I will never come here again if I could give you less than a star I would

I usually come here during lunch 1 – 3 and the service is always great as well as the food. Never have to wait long to get the food, and it’s always fresh. Never had the beer since I’m always on lunch but they have a large variety.

Taco station is part of one of my greatest memories of visiting riverside. me and my wife were going to see guardians of the galaxy, and couldn’t find a place to eat from, kept cruising and found this place, got some Gorditas and tacos, and saw this epic movie in a drive in I haven’t ever been to was just an amazing night of great food a great movie and a great experience in the city of riverside. love Taco station. best beans and rice too. get the Gorditas combo. pork ones are the best. hands down

Let me begin with the people here, they are attentive and friendly. I come here almost daily and their customer service is great. Now to the good part, the food is awesome, the prices sometimes are a little high, but hey your getting quality, tasty food. I recommend the mulitas, they are bomb. The seating are inside is a bit small, but outside they have plenty of space, plus its nicer to eat out in the open air. Highly recommend it!

I tried the flautas for the first time. they were fantastic. The salsa bar is not bad either. Also they make there own tortillas. You must try this place if your in the area.

This place gets a resound «meh». These aren’t the best tacos in SoCal, Riverside, or even this neighborhood. Slightly pricey for a taco shop. All 5 of their salsas were underwhelming. Totally not impressed. This place was hyped

LOVE this place! You can taste the freshness in the tortillas, meat is flavorful and the sauces are outstanding! Gorditas are my fave, but it’s all yummy!

Place looks clean, nice outdoor ambiance and good beer selection. Everything on the menu looks delicious! 3 stars for the experience… We weren’t greeted and the two people behind the counter weren’t happy but whatever, as long as the food is good I’m willing to let that go. Come on guys, give us a smile! That’s all I ask.

This place is amazing! The food is always fresh and fast!
Friendly staff and very clean

I would say 3.5 stars. I love the concept of taco station being an old gas station. They have a big outside eating area which is nice. It wasn’t too busy when we went. I got a soft beef taco and a hard shell beef taco with cheese. They came out pretty quickly. Everything was reasonably priced. However, I asked for cheese and no onions and my soft taco came out with no cheese and onions. It was still good, but I picked the onions off. The hard shell taco had cheese like I asked for and that was so good! Overall, their tacos are good. Fast service. The staff is friendly. Reasonably priced. I might be back again.

We go here every Tuesday night for cheap fish tacos. It’s always clean, the employees are always very kind, the salsa bar is fantastic (and they have Coca-​Cola, bonus!)
I’ve never had a bad experience here. The outdoor seating is great and plentiful. It’s consistently tasty and a positive experience. I won’t be going anywhere else on Tuesday nights except for Taco Station.

We came here after a hike up to Mount Rubidoux. We saw it on our drive in and knew that it would be a good place to stop for post hike fuel. We all decided to get a bunch of tacos thinking that’s probably what they do best. It was dead at 3pm on a Friday but then all of a sudden was hopping.
We tried carnitas, al pastor, carne asada, chorizo, and crispy beef.
All the tacos except the crispy ones came out in a timely manner. However my sister ordered a plain taco without all the fixings and they seemed to have missed that. She was a good sport and picked things off.
They had a nice salsa bar with a wide variety of salsas at different temperature points, always love that.
The tacos were good. My favorite was the al pastor and carnitas. Everyone liked their tacos and thought most things had good flavor and the salsas were a good addition.

This was my first time here. The decorations are unique, but you know not well kept. There are lots of tables to sit outside. I ordered the shrimp taco and my bf ordered the Gordita plate. The food was alright and it wasn’t anything special. The shrimps were fried which I was hoping they wouldn’t be. However, the salsa bar is great! Lots of variety :) The customer service could be better. We walked in and they just starred at us without saying hi.

After shunning the place for a while I am happy to announce they are back and firing on all cylinders!
What changed since my previous review? For starters, the owner is present daily again, which ensures that what made this place great when they first opened is maintained. This was not always the case, however. Today I chatted with the owner and learned he shut down the expansion location in the Canyon Crest mall. A wise decision. Unilocalers were not kind to that place, and while the cat was away, the mice played and service and quality slipped noticeably.
After some iffy meals I previously recommended eating here prior to 7pm. This ban has been lifted and my confidence is suitably restored, whence the upgraded 5 Star rating. Two recent visits reestablished the food quality is top tier again. The Flautas were fantastic, and today’s foray into enchilada country was also pleasurable. As I walked home I reflected on what made me a fan again at the flagship store.
First, the selection of fresh salsas is exceptional and the choices fit any taste and heat preference. The fresh made tortillas are another style point, and while the black bean option no longer exists, their frijoles won’t wreck your system and get you banished to the couch. Second, the outside now has a covered patio so even on the hottest days customers can be comfortable. Third, the hygiene is being enforced and hand sanitizer is available at the counter, although it was tapped out when I tried to get some.
Nonetheless, the car theme and 50s retro look work. Located on the next block from Tios Tacos, Taco Station can hold its own in the over saturated and competitive Mexican food market.
