Taco Tuesday: Miguel’s Jr., Riverside

December 3, 2014 by Ole Leave a Comment

I stopped by Miguel’s Jr. in the Galleria at Tyler yesterday for lunch. I have been eating here more often lately, so some of the following pictures are from prior visits.

Although we have been fans of Miguel’s for many years, I was not a big fan of Miguel’s Jr. until recently. Now, I am hooked on the Carne Asada Street Tacos.

The street tacos are like the Tacos Al Carbon on the menu at Miguel’s, but for some reason I like them much more here. I think it is because they are wrapped up after they are prepared, which allows the tortillas to soften and the tacos to stay hot.

The street tacos come with onions and cilantro, but I get them plain and add hot sauce instead.

The hard shelled tacos are also like the ones served at Miguel’s, although they don’t seem to be as full. This is a shredded beef taco.

Out of all of the Mexican food restaurants I frequent, I think I like the refried beans at Miguel’s and Miguel’s Jr. the best.

Although chips are included with your meal at Miguel’s, you have to pay for them at Miguel’s Jr.

I have been to a few other Miguel’s Jr. locations, but the one in the Tyler Mall is my favorite. I would like to visit the original location on 6th St. in Corona someday.

Miguel’s – Dos Lagos, Corona

October 22, 2010 by Ole 1 Comment

Miguel's - Dos Lagos

If you drive on the 91 freeway through Corona, you have probably seen Miguel’s near the W. 6th Street exit.  This is how we found Miguel’s when we first moved out here from Orange County.  Fortunately for us, Miguel’s opened a new location in the Dos Lagos shopping center in South Corona, which is closer to our home.

Our meal always starts with fresh chips and homemade salsa.  The salsa is smooth with a little bit of heat and is unlike any I’ve had at any other Mexican restaurant.

Our favorite appetizer is the Sonora Roll, which is tender chile verde pork and cheese rolled in a flour tortilla.  The chile verde pork is one of Miguel’s specialties, and it makes this appetizer amazing.

I’ve tried many meals over the years. A few of my past favorites are “Los Taquitos” and “El Chimi”. Unlike the ultra hard-shelled taquitos with more tortilla than meat that you get at many restaurants, Miguel’s taquitos are thick, full of meat, and perfectly crisp.  If you like taquitos, you should try these.

My new favorite is Miguel’s Carne Asada, which is also served with a tomatillo enchilada.

My wife used to order the Enchiladas de Camaron (shrimp), but she has switched to Maria’s Chopped Salad, which is served in a giant flour tortilla shell and includes chicken, tomatoes, Sonora beans and cheese. This is her favorite salad anywhere.

One of the nicest features is Miguel’s location, which is right on the lake. 

There is also a nice bar area, which probably serves every tequila known to man.

In addition to the Dos Lagos location, Miguel’s has full service locations in West Corona (off the 91) and Foothill Ranch (South Orange County), along with numerous quick service Miguel’s Jr. restaurants throughout the Inland Empire.
