    Tio's has a gigantic garden with huge folk-art statues made from bottles, shells, electrical trash and other objects. Its a massive complex with fountains, clowns, patios and surprises everywhere.

    The most interesting place to eat in Riverside. The ongoing, constantly evolving sculpture garden is an amazing thing, and not to be missed

    STRAWBERRY HORCHATA IS YGGDRASIL'S NECTAR. Do not be intimidated by the line. 1000% worth it.

    The backyard is unbelievable and would like to come back in the daytime and take pics. I had tacos and they were good.

    This is a museum with a restaurant. So worth a visit, and the food is also good!

    Food and margaritas are yummy but don't sit under any of the trees unless you're game for a nice birdy surprise.

    Camerones a la diabla is excellent! They also serve oysters on the half, which are recycled in the art garden surrounding the joint.

    These aren't $.99 tacos so be careful. Can go broke at $2.75 each. Order the carnitas or asada plates for value.

    Eat here and give yourself and extra 20 minutes to check out the RAD art garden made entirely of toys, garbage and oyster shells.
