Bar Ni Modo is tucked into the Farmhouse in Riverside, CA, dreamed up by the Arcade Coffee Roasters team—Chef Ulises Pelayo, Jesus Figueroa, and Bartender Jessica Neblina. They’re bringing Oaxaca and Mexico City flavors to the table with some remarkable cocktails and food. Think mezcal and tequila drinks, paired with dishes full of smoky, spicy flavors that mix old-school Mexican roots with a fresh twist. The name "Ni Modo" says it all—"it is what it is"—and that’s the vibe you’ll feel in this bar.

    That Black Cod Miso needs to turn into a person so I can marry it and we can move to the south of France where we will have a lovely tomato garden and 3 beautiful children. The spicy tuna crispy rice can be my secret lover that Black Cod Miso catches me with, but is chill and we have a unique but interesting love life with the three of us.

    Everything THE RANCH offers is done superbly. The flavors really blend nicely together and the dishes have great dimension. The ambiance is lovely and you can tell a lot of thought was put into curating the entire experience from the decor, choice of furnishings, the food and beverage offerings, etc. This is a fine dining experience, so the price does reflect that. It will be a meal you not only enjoy, but remember.

    Arrived around 4:00pm to enjoy happy hour before dinner. Good and tasty cocktails. Edamame appetizer was good and plentiful. Bartender Sunni was nice, helpful and fun to talk to. Restaurant gets busy after 6:00pm. Atmosphere gets more lively. Lots of good food options for dinner. From my observations some of the chefs are more talkative and entertaining than others. The food was good. The wait staff was attentive, nice and friendly. Overall a good experience.
