Went for a date night with my husband friday night, we were very happy with our meal. The server was very welcoming and took good care of us. I got a ceviche appetizer which was delicious. I then got the green salsa chicken enchiladas. They were excellent, and the sauce on top gave it a unique taste than any other enchiladas i usually get elsewhere. My husband got a battered shrimp taco and pibil taco which he loved. The latin music playing in the background was cool, and the restroom was clean. The only thing i didn't like was that they had golf playing on both giant tv screens. It took away from the ambiance. Would definitely recommend this place for it's good service and tasty food.

Pros: cool looking place on a corner in Old Town, lots of food options, nice big tables. When we asked to have music turned down, they did it! Food was fine. Cons: our server must've forgotten to put our order in because it took 45 mins. She also disappeared for about 25 minutes at one point. Super loud.Dietary restrictions: There are several gluten free options on the menu and they're all clearly marked. I had the sopes and they tasted fine but we're a bit overcooked. The thing I was most excited by is that they had Corona light, which is essentially gluten free (for me it's ok).

Waiter (ZACK) or (ZACH) was top notch. He made me want to buy the restaurant with whatever I had left in my Cayman Islands account.My girlfriend kept kicking me under the table.Not relevant. But it pissed me off. And it’s all we talked about at dinner.Anyways. The Guacamole was gorgeous I could’ve married and made a whole new life with that green machine.We’d have salsa kids and the ooey gooey enchilada would’ve been our son.Delicious

I really enjoyed this place. It was perfect for my reunion with old friends. Food and drinks were amazing, and clean setting. My only complaint is I wish all the seats were cushioned and the inside was kept warmer in the winter. Regardless I would return again.Parking: Very limited parking and zero handicap options.

Went with family and nobody was impressed nor satisfied with the food, service, or drinks. Only went because Crush & Brew had one bottle of tequila and the bartender said Espadin is their sister restaurant with many tequilas. The Mezcal old fashioned was decent but the cantaritos were too sour like the juices were bad and left a horrible aftertaste.Fajitas had more veggies than steak and not sure how you can cook Spanish rice wrong when you are supposed to be a "Mexican" restaurant.You can be the judge for yourself, but honestly I would only go back for happy hour instead of feeling like I wasted money and more importantly time.

Have been there before and it’s okay. However this time we tried to go for a late lunch on Xmas Eve… I called and asked what time they were open to and the man said “we close at 3pm”. I said oh okay great thanks. He said “don’t arrive later than 2:15”. Oh ok so you really close at 2:15 or you just don’t want us to come in. Don’t worry, we went to the Mexican restaurant down the street and it was much better

We visited 4 different bars / restaurants in the same evening and hands down, this one had the best food and drink. I recommend the birria tacos and the chefs cocktail. Props to Tyler (bartender) for excellent service.

A bit pricey, but food was good. A bit steep but its right in the middle of Old Town Temecula so that's to be expected. I got a "bad a**" burrito bowl with chicken. The chicken was a bit dry and a bit flavorless but everything else in the bowl had flavor so there was a saving grace. My boyfriend has the Southwest Chicken which he said was good. It's a very full salad with a lot of toppings so it was filling. Service was slow. I could tell there were enough servers but maybe they were hanging in the back? Restaurant wasn't full so I guess they were taking it easy. Our server was nice though. Didn't check on us that much but he was friendly when he did. Again, food was good, it's a bit pricey, but ambiance was nice.

The ceviche is the best I've had in years! Get the duo which is white fish and shrimp! I ate there 3 times in 10 days!

Good food and service. Location wins it in Old Town. There several places to choose from in the area. However, I would definitely return and the drinks were very good.

Had a mix up with the online reservation, but luckily we arrived before the rush so we were seated right away. Enjoyed the look of the restaurant with the open patio doors and natural lighting. They were playing good music too. We started with drinks. I had the Cantarito, which for some reason tasted watered down. :/ The Classic Guacamole was good and shareable between the four of us. I'd come back just for the Bone Marrow! Extremely delicious and served with their House-made tortillas. The Chicken Mole was very good as well. Lastly, we ordered the PB&J Churros, but they were not fully cooked on the inside. This was a bummer as we waited quite a while for these and had to leave. It looked big enough to share and the sauces were good, but we did not eat the Churros. Our server apologized and took it off our check.
