Mexican Restaurants near Canyon Lake

“I have not been here in a decade, at least to the restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised. My Bloody Mary and chorizo quesdilla were delicious. Chips and salsa were also great! Will definitely come back more often!Parking: Shared parking lotKid-friendliness: Kids menu“

“Very yummy birria! Wish they had an appetizer menu and chips and salsa. But the meat was soft and the consume was great too.Only second thought was that hot consume should be in some type of bowl not styrofoam cups cuz it’s so hot but the place was super clean, smelled delicious and the service was a 10/10“

“One of the nicest, most well displayed, Agave Liqour selection around.Mezcal & Tequila selections are phenomenal.I have not seen many places with this many additive free sips around and not only for Riverside CountyI also had some enchiladas ? which were delicious. I had 2 mixed cocktails, and they were amazing as well.The bar staff is well knowledgeable, and the severs move fast and are accurate ?I have nothing bad to say about El Comal. It's a very great overall experience. I will definitely be coming here againParking: Easy to parkKid-friendliness: Kid plates availableWheelchair accessibility: Easy roll in, no stairs , first floor.“

“As I've only tried 3 items on the menu thus far, Veggie Burrito, Cabeza Burrito and Chile Relleno, their has been fresh, flavorful and filling. This is now my 'go to' for 'clean' (no chemicals like the big-chain-establishments) authentic Mexican cuisine without braking the bank.Vegetarian options: Their Veggie Burrito (I'm not a vegetarian) was so tasty I didn't miss the meat.“

“I had potato tacos and the shells tasted like they had been fried in fish oil I could definitely taste the fish which made my dining room experience yucky. When the manager came around asking if everything was okay I did explain the taste of the tacos. He didn't deny it but offered to replace them but hungry as I was I had eaten one already. And he quickly moved on to the next table. But I will go back again.Kid-friendliness: When we came in, the game was on all of the TVs, but then we noticed the TV above our heads was changed to cartoons. And then we noticed they had seated a family with a couple of kids across from us facing the TV. And the children were watching the TV and being occupied. I thought this was really nice of management changing the channel.“

“This place really surprised us! We went there on a whim hoping it would be good. Upon entering we thought we were going to be disappointed but quickly learned that we weren't. The food was so delicious. Even for my super picky boyfriend!“

“Came here to get a papa with chorizo & shrimp for the second time! Parking is a bit hectic cause you’re parking on a dirt road but besides that it’s not too bad. I believe we only waited 15-20min max for our papas(3, but only shown two in video)while it was pretty packed for a Sunday. Cashier & servers were very nice so if you like loaded potatoes I’d highly recommend. They also have aguas frescas, as well as Asada /bacon for other choices of meat. Enjoy!“

“Service was great. One waitress at the time very attentive to everyone. She hustled but came off very relaxed. Great job making everyone feel comfortable on top of everything never had to ask for water or the little things. How's service is supposed to be done. The quesadilla birria very good.“

“These are some of the Best street tacos I've had in the IE area, or at least near Menifee. I'm originally from LA and it's hard finding a place that serves up tasty tacos. Although they leave the door open at times, and some flies wonder into the place, take it on the go, you will love them. Great prices as well.“

“This was the best food I've had in a restaurant in a very long time! And the server went above and beyond. Burritos were very big. My family ordered the California Burrito (french fries inside!!!), Surf and Turf Burrito (beef and shrimp, with a wonderful cream sauce), and the amazing Seafood Mocajete! So huge, gorgeous presentation, and amazingly flavorful! Presentation and flavor were even better than expected. The churros for dessert were also really great, and was the best ending to an incredible meal! Thank you so much!“

“By far the best carnitas all around Perris. I have been buying carnitas, menudo and birria from Carnitas Michoacan for almost three years now and they never disappoint. Their carnitas are perfectly seasoned and their homemade tortillas are delicious. The staff is friendly and always happy to see new faces as well as returning clients weekend after weekend. The tables are constantly cleaned to ensure the environment is clutter free and inviting. Give them a try, I promise you will not regret it. ??Kid-friendliness: Play area on siteParking: Ample parking availableIf traffic starts to build up, a parking assistant will be assigned to guide vehicles to available spotsWheelchair accessibility: Flat surface with pavement available to ensure wheelchairs can access the premises“

“When we arrived, I was impressed by how clear it was. We sat ourselves, our drink order was taken. (It took longer than normal to get our water.) Music was playing at a nice sound! Food came out pretty fast and it was good too. Heather the waitress seemed a little busy as if she had too many tables. It appeared as if they were short staffed. I feel she could've been more attentive. We had to ask Kelly a different waitress for the check cause Heather didn't return to see if anything else was needed. I would go back if I'm in the area.“

“This our GO TO spot for burritos. So I decided to try their party platter for my wife's bday party. A choice of 3 meats of your choice with chips and salsa. No tortillas, no beans and no rice came with the platter. It is what it is. The meats were great along with their chips and salsas. There is always room for improvement, hence the 4's.“

“Well, let’s start by saying the food has a super authentic taste so delicious and nothing is better than the Green Drink easy ice lol. Can’t leave Aaron out the equation I offered him a Job at Bellevue because he works with a smile each time I see him great customer service and he declined talk about dedication! Keep it up Aaron, the girls are actually nice too! #aaron #nicework #keepitup“

“Let's put this debate to rest. I have been eating Carne Asada burritos since I was a teenager in San Diego in the mid 1980s. It is always what I order when I try out a new taco shop. I have been to a bunch of places from Menifee to Murrieta to Temecula and this one is hands down the best spot in the area and I mean the location on Clinton Keith in Wildomar specifically. The meat is well seasoned and tender. The guacamole is good and the burritos are big and not over priced. My wife typically orders the chile relleno burrito and it is the best she has tried. This is our go to place and apparently for many others as well as they all seem to know the owner who works the register every time I'm there, which is whenever I need a fix! Finally, always ask what they put in their carne asada burrito. If they say beans and rice...RUN! They are ripping you off because they will put just enough carne in it so it isn't called a bean burrito anymore. A proper carne asada burrito is carne, pico and guacamole only.“

“Great place for food and drinks. Staff is friendly and no reservations required (first come basis). Ambience is family friendly. Hold on to your wallet because although food and drinks are delicious, it sure adds up quickly. But al in all - it was worth it . Have you ever had the deep fried lobster - highly recommended. Drinks, you can't have just one ...Salud!“

“When my wife and I are in the mood for Mexican food, this is one of the best places to go in the area. They have consistently good food and the folks who work there are professional and courteous. And they keep the shop clean. Great job, everybody!“

“Our go to Mexican restaurant! Food is always on point with flavor and freshness. When in town we always end the day here. We pick up our food drive thru and head on home. Our go to is the Al mojo de ajo camaron and my husband gets their tacos or a torta de asada. Great service everyone is always very friendly.“

“Hands down best food and service I’ve experienced in riverside county. Had the pozole. Chefs kiss!! Margaritas fresh with real fruit. Green salsa is out of this world!! Jose holds down the fort and is so personal and friendly. We actually don’t leave here. I’ll be back in a few days!“

“This has to be, hands down, the best Mexican Food Restaurant that I've ever visited. In my travels, I have eaten Mexican across the globe, but I must admit this was an experience that I will never forget. First, the food was, "Stupid Good". The chef, manager, Eduardo, was the best. The atmosphere was family oriented and friendly. It has a Sportsbar feel with plenty of televisions to watch. The bar is great and carries a great selection of wines, beers and spirits. Let us talk about the food. This food really can't be described with familiarity without saying that the food is beyond explanation. You really have to visit to understand the statement. The whole fired Tilapia is unbelievable. Everything about that fish was "RIGHT"! Crunchy, tender, seasoned and fried to perfection. Every Mexican Food restaurant has chips and salsa. However, not every Mexican Restaurant has "NACHOS"! They are not your standard Nachos. They put a spin on these chips. They are not "CORN" but a well kept secret that blows your mind. I will be writing forever but if you want to treat yourself, get there quick. You will not be disappointed. The staff was absolutely great. Friendly, cordial and go out their way to make sure you have a great experience. A very clean and well-kept establishment. I'm going back to eat the seafood. If it's anything like the Tilapia, Oh boy! Are there areas of improvements, I quite sure it is, I just didn't see anything but their best.Parking: Plenty of places to park.Kid-friendliness: Family orientedWheelchair accessibility: Handicap accessible.“

“The carnitas and tortillas are off the hook. The service from the guy serving the meat has a nice and friendly personality but the ladies have a very dry and serious look which make it hard to ask for anything. The atmosphere during the day(Saturday)was busy. The place could does need a makeover for sure.“

“This is my second time here and both times I ordered the birria ramen and a quesadilla taco which are definitely my faves. The customer service is above and beyond from both Pat and Amaris. They always have contagious smiles and outgoing personalities. My plan is to come visit no less than once a week! It’s a must try spot. Prices are affordable and food is delicious. Stop by and visit Pat and Amaris and see for urselves.?“

“According to my hubby Tacos Elsinore #2 is Lake Elsinore‘s little hidden gem! Lol ?The restaurant is a small establishment but it’s nice and clean and has enough space for a few tables so you can dine in if you want to eat there. (We dined in )Their food always tastes fresh .Their 1.50 tacos are really good! They have a good amount of meat and the price is unbelievable! $1.50 a taco! They offer the 1.50 tacos on Monday and Thursday I think. If you’re looking for a quick bite and you’re in the Lake Elsinore, area then you might want to try Tacos Elsinore #2You just might like it too. ??“

“Emilio’s is so great, we came over the weekend. We are always greeted very nicely by Bree and she gets our drinks in right away! Atmosphere is very friendly and nice. Super spacious and very accommodating. I recommend their chicken taco or carnitas plate, so good! We will be back!“

“Used to come here years ago after school and the food is still just as good! Has been our go to Mexican spot lately. Burritos are great, tortas are amazing, and all the salsas are fantastic. Staff is friendly every time. Come for the carne asada fries, stay to try everything else!“

“Gave this place another try and I'm glad I did. The pizza wasn't bad for a place with such a huge menu-and that doesn't specialize in pizza. It was reminiscent of Papa Johns-which I don't care for-and I really appreciate it was a flavor profile you don't just find everywhere. My asada fries were great. Fries were perfect texture. Food was picture perfect and delicious.“

“I had the carne asada fries. They were delicious. The plate was full of food not like how other places are now giving smaller portion for more money. My friend said the sope was bigger than other ones she’s had. They’re giving 2019 portions here. And the price isn’t bad either. It was three of us, food and drink $50. This is my spot now. Everywhere else they over charge for tiny portions. The salsa is good too.“

“Me and my partner have been coming here for years and the food is always amazing. I don’t know the name of the person who helped us this Thursday morning but it was the best customer service I’ve received at this restaurant by far. So kind and helpful shout out to him for going above and beyond for the customer.“

“I stopped to eat while traveling to El Cajon, CA. The staff was so friendly. I was immediately given warm chips and salsa as a snack while reading the menu. I ordered a skinny margarita, Combo #9 (a tamale with a crispy taco), and Tacos Camaron. Everything was very tasty. Since the platters were large, I couldn't clean my plates! I took enough food home for 3 more meals! How cool is that? I am glad I stopped in and gladly recommendit. You'll enjoy the dining experience! ✔️???“

“You can't beat a little hole-in-the-wall spot that still does it right.On our way from flying at Marshall to go fly at Torrey Pines, we were lucky enough to find this hidden gem. It might not be a polished diamond, but the food was good and the prices, well, all in, it would probably cost me more to make them myself. Everything was very inexpensive. Portions were good and the coffee hot.If we're passing by in the AM again, will definitely stop by.“

“Food is always good. They do take phone orders so you don't have to wait in line too long before they give you your meal. Fair prices. They improved their red salsa so thats awesome! I really like their California burrito or their carne asada fries.“

“This place is the best tacos I’ve had in Southern California. Small hole in the wall but the best tacos. Their al pastor was marinated perfectly. Their Micheladas absolutely delicious. We don’t live in the area anymore but whenever we roll by this place we try to stop. Staff is super friendly. This is how tacos should be made!!! Salsa is ? ?“

“Well I definitely will be going back and back to eat my Carnitas Sope. Almost has good has my mom use to make. Beans where delicious to... Glad it's only 10 minutes away.. I give them a 10 starVegetarian options: Ceviche tostada... yummy... my son loved it.“

“Well Well, this lovely gem is delicious in so many ways. I had the chile verde wet burrito and it was beyond delicious! They are 15 bucks but so worth it. They are huge! I had the strawberry margarita and it was tasty. Will definitely be back. Btw the service is great, has a sweet girl for our bartender and I believe the manager came by a few times. He was very friendly and offered above and beyond services! Very happy! And my belly is craving another burrito“

“This place is my new go to!If I'm gonna pay $15 for a burrito it better be massive and delicious, which this place satisfies and then some!Throw in good beers at good prices, this place rocks. Skip the '-ito's" restaurants and come here instead, where they actually respect your money.“

“Originally from San Diego, been in Temecula for 5 years and had never found any place close to the taco shops in SD. This place is definitely close to home! The food tastes amazing and the price point was even better! My husband got the "Hemecula" burrito and was surprised that it was the size of his forearm! AND it was only 15 BUCKS! Highly recommend this place!“

“Great little spot, the shrimp cocktails are amazing and we'll served!It's a actually bigger than it looks from the outside and the service is great along with the seafood we've tried the ceviche and shrimp cocktails and everything has been amazing I recommend checking this place out some of the best seafood in the area for sure!“

“I’ve been here a few time and it’s time for a review. My usual food,this review is based on is the Cabeza and Lengua burritos. The meat doesn’t have the old meat taste, like I’ve had in other spots. The customer service is great and that’s what completes their five star review. Keep doing it the way you’re doing it, don’t take short cuts and your business will continue to thrive.“

“Please if you're in the area go try this place! The food is delicious and fresh. Handmade tortillas! Fair prices, customer service is great and friendly. The place is small but it works. They even let me use the restroom which is kept clean. It's only a cash establishment but if you don't have cash you can zelle them. I drove about 25 minutes and left happy. Gets busy. Will definitely return to try other dishes. Good portions too.“

“Just steps away from the Transit center, the Downtown Perris metrolink station is La Finca's a family owned restaurant in Downtown Perris area nearby American Legion. This restaurant offers indoor and patio dining. I enjoyed their patio dining and I look forward to holding gatherings in their Salon you can rent for larger parties. My brunch was delicious. The bacon was good, the potatoes were a new house style with seasoning salt and cilantro. I loved my Belgian waffle order. I hope to invite a large gathering to lunch here.“

“Pretty solid offerings here, the Taco Tuesday specials is what I come for. The only shortcoming here is consistency. One week you can have a full belly but the next visit you can get almost half the food and wind up hungry. Large selection of burritos and other authentic side dishes. You really can't go wrong here as long as you get enough to eat. You're better off buying a bit extra.“

“I’ve been a loyal customer at Juan's Rostisserie Chicken for years, and their delectable sides never fail to impress. The potatoes are perfectly seasoned and roasted to crispy perfection, while the rice is fluffy and bursting with flavor. These sides perfectly complement the star of the show: the juicy and flavorful chicken. Every bite is a delight, and the friendly staff always make the dining experience enjoyable. If you're looking for mouthwatering sides to accompany your meal, Juan's is the place to go!“

“This is a relatively small, very cozy place, with great food and friendly service! I got the menudo (blanco) and it was delicious, with all the fixings and three slices of buttery bread. Someone else in my group got the tortilla soup and really liked it (they wished it had chicken in it, but personally I prefer tortilla soup without chicken). This was my first time here; my brothers been before and raves about the Sonora enchiladas. I also want to come back to try the chilorio torta, sounds tasty.“

“Been wanting to try this place. Seen it a few times passing by. Me my hubby and baby girl tried it for the first time since we wanted some tacos and did not disappoint. I got the 3 plate combo and tried the pastor and birria tacos which the pastor was by far my fav! Very flavorful and packed on. The birria was very soft and tasty too. The salsas they had were very good! The avocado salsa was good and the red was my favorite. Rice was delicious and had flavor not bland at all. Beans actually tasted good! Hubby tried the chili relleno plate and he loved it! Finished his whole plate and he loved the side tacos. His favorite was also the pastor. It's not sweet and tasted more like chorizo but not chewy. It was just really good. We received complimentary chips and salsa which we very much enjoyed. Salsa was not hot with the chips but tasted great! Overall, we would be back. We found a taco place we actually enjoyed and plan on going back to. Service was also great! Thank you!“

“This is a great place for breakfast/ brunch. It's right off the 215 fwy on Scott Rd. Closest cross street is Haun Rd. It's in a small shopping center in the corner suite closest to Scott Rd and Haun.It has a nice, relaxing, quiet atmosphere inside. Our server was very courteous.We noticed there's a cantina/bar area in another room. We haven't been on that side, but I'd thought I'd mention it.We've been here a few times and we were never disappointed. They give you tortilla chips and salsa (which we love) while you're waiting for your food. We love their Banana Foster's French toast. It's amazing. I feel like that's one of their signature dish. Their orange juice tasted like it was freshly squeezed. Everything tasted fresh.They have a lot of delicious options to choose from in their menu. We're definitely coming back to try the rest of their items on their menu. The prices are also reasonable.Wheelchair friendly and their bathrooms were clean.“

“I stop at this location as I drive up to the Inland Empire from San Diego fairly often. The service is mostly friendly and the food comes out quick, whether you are in the lobby or in the drive-thru. The orders come out accurately and the size of the burritos are more generous than at other locations. They are also generous with how many salsas they give you.“

“My favorite food truck people complain about the prices if you want good food you going to pay what is worth I recommend this food truck 1000% with my eyes closed that’s my to go food truck once a week at least papancha loaded with meat and the Lorenza fully loaded delicious ?“

“Wow! Cheese and green chile tamales! Rare, isn't it? Most Mexican food restaurants only offer pork, chicken or beef. I try to eat vegan but do slide to vegetarian. I know... vegan friends, try not to hate me. The tamale was yummy as was their beans and rice. I ordered delivery so have no idea what this place looks like inside. I received my order quickly and as usual, delivery was in time.“

“4/5/2024 Just got home from our very first dinner at Casa Jimenez. G U S T A V O He is the epitome of what Customer service is all about. I counted about 17 adults and 14 kids in our party tonight. Gustavo waited on us and had the memory of a computer and got all our orders right. I was so impressed that he could do this without writing down our orders. His memory accompanied with his amazing personality.... All I can say, is we have found a new place to eat out at. The food was soooo good. The endless chips and salsa is hardly common at these sit down places, and makes everything worth the extra $$ we pay to eat out. I liked it. The whole experience at a new to us, place. My grandson turned 12 and I'm sure this will be memorable for years to come. Thank you, CJ and Gustavo!“
