" We took the kids out for a casual dinner, and Casa Mota was a great spot for that! Everyone found something they liked. The nachos were massive and topped with plenty of ingredients. I had the fajitas, which were sizzling and delicious! While we waited a bit longer than expected, the service was friendly, and we didn’t mind the wait as it was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Casa Mota is a hidden gem! We had gone for a casual dinner, and it turned out to be one of the best nights I've had. The food was incredible—especially the chilaquiles! The service was quick and friendly, and the establishment was bustling with happy diners. I'm thrilled to have found such a fantastic place that feels so authentic! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been looking for a quality Mexican restaurant, and Casa Mota did not disappoint! The portions were generous, and the flavors were authentic. I tried the menudo and was pleased with its depth of flavor and perfect spices. The place was clean and well-maintained, creating a nice environment for dining. However, on one visit, my dish was lukewarm, which was a little disappointing. Otherwise, I’d say it’s a must-visit spot if you're in Riverside! " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I ate here, I loved the pozole so much I had to return for seconds! It has that home-cooked feel that you rarely find in restaurants. The service was quick and friendly. The only reason I didn’t give it a full five was that the seating can feel cramped during dinner rush. Nonetheless, I’m definitely returning because the food is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was skeptical at first, but after my first visit, I now understand why so many people love Casa Mota! The asada nachos were massive and mouthwatering. Each ingredient complemented the other perfectly! Plus, the vibe was friendly, and the staff were amazing. I can't wait to go back and try something else from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve frequented this place, but my most recent experience had its ups and downs. The tacos we ordered were flavorful, but my friend wasn’t satisfied with her burrito since it was excessively oily. Service remained consistent, yet the overall quality of the food wasn’t what I was used to experiencing here. I hope it’s a one-time thing because I still think it has potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit, I leave full and satisfied. The portions are generous, and the flavors are rich. I had the carne asada plate, and I can confidently say it's one of the best I've had in town. The atmosphere leans toward family-friendly, which I appreciate. Overall a fantastic experience, and I would encourage everyone to try it at least once. " (*Curated Review*)
