It’s short on space but a giant on taste. The Carne Asada just might be one of the best I have eaten and I am a true snob about my steak. I’m obsessed with the language tacos, especially, but I have had all but the chicken and they are all authentic and flavorful. Salsa is nice and fresh. The only items I was dismayed by was the corn. It was out of a can and served cold. I don’t know if they intended to zap them in the microwave and forgot or if that was intentional. I also didn’t care for the beans. They were very bland and runny. Servers are nice, though one of them seemed to forget everything I said to her. The vibe is always upbeat, but it’s pretty cramped in there. With people sneezing and hacking about, I quickly consumed the offerings and left. I’ve been back twice now and will surely return.

Came here for dinner with my brother. Place was packed. We sat outside on the back porch, which made it a little more enjoyable and quieter. We both got the fajitas. Huge portions for both and left there very full. The chips and salsa they bring out at the start of the meal or top-notch too.
Definitely worth a check out if you are in the Frederick area.

I totally loved this place. Had dinner with my husband in the patio area. Music was at the perfect volume, not too loud. The atmosphere was incredible and the food was amazing. And for dessert, we had the flan and it was AMAZING. Never had a flan like that before.
If I had to give a feedback, it would only be the servers. Even though they are all very friendly. We had to wait couple of minutes to get one assigned to our table and then minutes later, a couple arrived to the table next to us and they waited so long that the lady had to stand up and look for a server herself. That’s the only negative thing I could notice. The rest. VERY GOOD RESTAURANT.

I loved this place. The service was spectacular. Really great margaritas. We had drinks at the bar then got a table for six. Again the service was amazing. Drinks and food came very quickly and food was great. I had the grilled chicken Enchiladas and loved them. Great place if you haven’t tried it, you should.

Took my friend here today for his birthday. Got a Bloody Mary and steak/shrimp quesadilla, he got calamari. Everything was delicious along with their homemade chips and salsa. Staff was very friendly, great ambience. Definitely recommend.

I had been here once back in 2022 and was not impressed, but they’ve since closed and reopened and I had a MUCH better experience. The service was quick and so friendly and the burrito enchiladas were excellent, the steak was so tender. I’d definitely come back for those.
The front is LOUD, if you want a more low key dinner, the back seating area is much quieter.

Ordered Lunch Enchiladas, Seafood Ceviche, Beef Lengua Tacos, and Birra Tacos. Enchiladas and tacos were great, very flavorful and juicy. The birria consommé was extremely flavorful. Everything was seasoned well and was not too salty. Portions of meat were generous. Ceviche tasted good, but the seafood felt a bit tough. Service was fast and attentive.

Riverside Bar & Grill absolutely blew me away. Hands down, the best Mexican food in Frederick — fresh, flavorful, and authentic. I stopped in on a Friday night and not only was the food incredible, but the service was top-notch.
I had a moment of panic when I realized I’d left my credit card behind (I’m so used to Apple Pay!). But the server — whose name I sadly can’t remember — literally ran down the street to return it to me. That kind of kindness and character is rare and unforgettable.
If you’re looking for amazing food and genuinely caring service, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be back!

Really like the food, service and atmosphere! Food came out quickly and was delicious! I had the fish and birria tacos. The fresh salsa and chips were spot on! Our server was so nice and attentive. The red sangria is perfect!

We went for lunch over the weekend and it was amazing. Great service (our server was so sweet!), great atmosphere, and most importantly, incredible food. I had shrimp tacos and they were so good and my husband had birria tacos. We also thought the salsa was some of the best we’ve ever had.
So happy this gem of a restaurant exists!! We will be back.
