42 Best Mexican Restaurants in Temecula

“We went to Espadín for lunch on a Friday. We got seated right away. We both got micheladas and the shrimp ceviche to share( appetizer). It was very chunky and fresh- tons of shrimp!! 🍤 We then shared the chicken quesadilla - also from the appetizer menu. The chicken was flavorful and very good. I don’t normally order quesadillas cause they are basic to me but this one was delicious ! It came with a spicy cream and jalapeños (we got them on the side cause I’m not a huge spicy person). We will be back for sure !

Update- ate here again and had the fajitas and salad with a strawberry marg. Delicious!“

“Stopped by this morning for pozole and a few drinks. Excellent food! We will return.“

“The best food ever ❤️❤️❤️and the staff is so friendly , i really recommend it“

“Really good food! Love the chips and salsa and tasted several drinks ~ A hidden gem slightly off the footpath of old town Temecula. Not open late (till 9) but a relaxing atmosphere to dine in that will not burst your eardrums like other establishments. No over the top theatrics, just really good food and drinks, tastefully decorated and a great patio. Can’t wait to go back : )“

“Best all around Mexican restaurant dine in experience in Murrieta/Temecula. Killer Margaritas, specials, service, food and reasonable prices. Been many times and it’s our go to no doubt burrito/taco stop. Oh and it’s on the way Pechanga Highly recommended“

“Fun Entertainment😎🌮“

“This place is amazing! The prices are reasonable and the food is fantastic, had the 3 tamale dinner plate with beans and rice. The tortillas are the best! Just be careful which salsa you choose ? I accidentally chose the hottest one but regardless, incredible meal! Went there with my church congregation and we all left full and happy ? looking forward to the next visit!! 5 stars well earned!!!!!“

“We're so bummed the one in San Diego closed so always try to hit Wahoo's if we're in Encinitas and this was our first time at the Temecula location, boy it did not disappoint! We forgot how chill the vibe is and although they don't have a huge beer selection but it's still nice to grab a can or bottle while you wait for your food. The staff were especially sweet and helpful during our visit!“

“Very good tacos & burritos“

“Thank goodness for there chicken soup got me through my wisdom tooth 🦷 pulled so tasty 😋 and they have it all the time“

“Food is good. They need to not worry so much about what the communist Gavin newson is mandating. Stand up for freedom and choice! 🇺🇸“

“We are in town visiting, and I thought I would find somewhere to eat with local flavor. I thought this was a restaurant but it is a well stocked Mexican grocery store as well as a restaurant in the back, with take out or an area for dine in.
We got carnita quesadilla and a burrito. Both were very good, but the carnita quesadilla was especially delicious.
The people were friendly and helpful. I don't know any Spanish and it was still easy to order.“

“Great Brunch!! Everything was so good! Get the Chile verde!!“

“First time, tried the deluxe breakfast burrito, a steak and egg burrito carne asada taco and a fish taco.All of them were absolutely amazing! I love Mexican food and I tell you what THIS Is the shop you want to go to if you want Mexican food in my opinion. And get the Orange hot sauce, THE BEST.“

“Definitely would recommend if you like Mexican food and good music.“

“I went there because my son recommended it to me and the truth is I was very surprised, I verified everything he told me.The food is really Mexican with the flavor of Mexico and I am sure I will return and put it in first place of my Favorite Restaurants, Thank you "Vero Mexican and Sea Food" for your very delicious dishes? ??I give you 100% on everything.Just a small suggestion, the coffee ☕️, I think the price is a little high $3.99 for one cup,“

“My family and I went on Sunday for the first time to have lunch at La cocina. Julio was our waiter and was incredible. The service was amazing and the food was great! I had Camarones Al Mojo Ajo, and they were so good. I highly recommend this restaurant. 😊“

“outstanding game los, salsa and beans. rice is moist too. highly recommended. best in socal.“

“The red chilaquiles plate are very spicy. They should let you know that when you order them.“

“Came for the fried ice cream and tried the food. Not the usual sequence, but that's how we did it. We've been here about four times in the past two weeks. Food is really good and service is great. My wife had the macho burrito (I think that's the name). It was huge. The pozole is delicious as well. Our new favorite place.“

“yes I recommend their food ... but you need to speak slower to the employees on what you want & check your order before you leave . twice already I tried to get the double chicken avacado Salad .. first time I got some citus salad second they gave me some chicken protein bowl non of these words are in the meal DOUBLE CHICKEN AVACADO BOWL !!! Very disappointed with tonight dinner !!“

“We went a little close to their opening hours and there was only a few other people there at the same time as us but the food was great and the customer service was excellent! We were attended to frequently asking if everything was OK or if we needed anything. And a big plus for me is finding a restaurant that makes their guacamole fresh and doesn't immediately add onions to it 10/10“

“We just ordered the family Taco Dinner..it was delicious...Delivered fast..hot tortillas and chips....Highly recommend...will definitely order again...very impressed 🙂“

“The red chilaquiles plate are very spicy. They should let you know that when you order them.“

“Met with old friends who played on the
MADRE’S Softball team.

That’s a winner winner chicken dinner.
Lol“

“great taste, absolutely recommend!“

“they have the best grilled fish tacos. so good!!!!“

“Love the food. Owners and customers are so nice 😊“

“Stopped in here for lunch on a Wednesday. It’s inside a little western food hall style building with two other restaurants. Atmosphere was really cool. Service was quick and good. Mostly importantly, the food was really tasty. I had the shrimp aguachile and beans/rice. It was very fresh and delicious. Presentation and portions were great too. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone that likes fresh seafood.“

“I love the food here and I have stopped by several times over the last few weeks and they are always closed, hope to make it in soon“

“Cafe Rio, we are not worthy!! The first bite of a barbacoa beef taco was incredible- instant flavor explosion and the tastiest flour tortilla. Everything was even better than I remember from having it LA. We used to go to the Manhattan Beach location but since moving to Bonsall (SD county) we miss it so much! I asked my husband to pick some up on his way home, it was perfectly packed and everything was terrific. Very impressed with everything we ordered. Consider yourself very fortunate if you have this location near you! This is the best chain Mexican restaurant :)“

“I recently visited and had a mixed but overall enjoyable dining experience. I ordered the cheese enchiladas, which were very tasty and satisfying. The enchiladas were rich and flavorful, making them a highlight of the meal.

However, the crispy chicken taco was a bit of a letdown. It lacked the expected flavor and didn't quite meet the standard set by the other dishes. On the bright side, the beans and rice were very good, providing a comforting and well-seasoned accompaniment to the main dishes.

The best part of the meal was undoubtedly the salsa. It was chunky, fresh, and incredibly delicious, adding a perfect burst of flavor to everything it touched.

Overall, while there were some ups and downs, the meal was enjoyable, and the standout salsa alone makes this restaurant worth a visit.“

“Can't go wrong with Los primos. I'm a fan and always will be. Great selection great food great environment great service and one of my favorites is there fresh albondigas! However this day I had to grab their chili veter they plate which is absolute fire!“

“We love having this place close to us.

The #16 is probably our favorite item on the menu. You need be careful with it on the way home cuz even with a short drive the sauce ends up leaking out the box, or all over the beans.“

“This location is strictly drive through. There isn't anywhere to eat inside. Staff is always friendly and willing to accommodate special orders. Service is typically quick and the prices are fair.

Vegetarian options: This location has a vegetarian menu. It has a decent selection for a drive through location.“

“I was not planning on stopping in today, but I saw the sign from the road and decided to get one of my favorite tacos, al-a-carte.The building was very clean, and well taken care of. Window sills, table tops, self-serve drink counter and salsa bar... this crew is on top of it. The employee that took my order was polite and friendly, with a positive attitude, as well as the manager that placed my food on the counter and called my name. Napkins were given in my to-go bag, and I was allowed time to place my salsa cups into the bag before walking out to the car. Come visit this place. I recommend the Fish Taco Especial, and usually opt for the 2 taco plate that comes with beans and rice.... but wasn't too hungry today and got a single taco for $5. If you think it's too much, you haven't tried it. Squeeze of lime, topped with Roasted salsa, and you're ready to go. Thanks, Rubios!“
