“Kimbap and bulgogi at the UV?” mused my housemates as I told them of my experience at Manna Grill, the newest addition to our University Village. Taking over the location that was once Ranch One, Manna Grill boasts a variety of Korean...

After four months of anticipation during construction, Sweet Daily has finally opened its gateway to a dessert-lover’s paradise. Located in the University Village by Oven 450, Sweet Daily is truly a convenient stop for Highlanders to refuel (and completely binge) on their daily intake of sugary goodness.
As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the welcoming...
Tucked between the warehouse and office buildings by Linden Street stands a pop-up coffee shop called Arcade Coffee Roasters. Run by two cheerful young men, Arcade Coffee Roasters is exclusively open on Thursdays and Fridays (business times are more accurately based off of their instagram account) during limited hours, and occasionally on Saturday if mentioned beforehand on their social...

Right next to Lollicup, Submarine Crab is the newest addition to the busy student-filled area of University Village. Submarine Crab sounds an awful lot like Boiling Crab, and looking at the menu, the similarities were uncanny. However, it’s not a bad thing — who doesn’t want good seafood closer to home?
Walking through the door with my friend Audrey,...

While there is an array of restaurants to choose from in Riverside, Mexican food is always a delicious choice. But, if you want the real deal, I’m talking mouth-watering and you-can’t-stop-staring at the other table’s food, then you need to walk away from Chipotle, Taco Bell and Del Taco.
El Patron is what I would call a hidden gem...

Originally known as Frice (and reviewed under Frice on Yelp), the restaurant has adopted a curiously new name: Bashu Impression Szechuan Restaurant. Along with the upgrade comes a change of interior, menu and style as well, adding flair to the lonely-looking restaurant located at the far corner of the University Village where Chase and an optometrist are located.

El Fogon has the best tacos around UC Riversde. This may seem like a bold statement, however, this isn’t a simple restaurant review. To come to this conclusion, we chose four Mexican restaurants near UCR and held a blind taste-test with eight UCR students. Two members of ASUCR (Ashley Harano and Nick Carillo), two members of ASPB (Ayanna Ziegler and...

Tucked away in a plaza packed with several cultural restaurants, Sushi OK attracts its customers with its gaudy, fluorescent lights that illuminate the darkening sky red and blue.
Pulling open the heavy, wooden doors, my friends and I were greeted by a peculiar array of disco wigs over an empty fish tank. Pausing to take a selfie with the...

For what seemed like a quarter or two, the location of Fatburger in the University Village was replaced with dark emptiness and a single giant poster of a cartoon chicken boasting the words “Popcorn Chicken.” Every time I passed by the location, this mysterious chicken logo made me more and more curious about what would replace the burger...

After accidentally passing by what appeared to be an abandoned, white shack several times on a rather obscure street corner, I finally came to the realization that the little building was a restaurant named Tacos El Camaroncito. Being one to not typically judge a book by its cover, I figured I would give this restaurant a try —...
