50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Grand Terrace

“I see others reviews and they all just about posted the solid food, BUT their caldos are the best, good caldos are not easy to find, but this is my go to place every time, every caldo (Mexican soup) is amazing! I have eaten all of them, the caldo de rea is so tender, I hated menudo, but they convinced me. The prices are great I spend over $20 with a caldo and drink. Not that long of wait for food, unless super busy, understandable, That is all I want year round. I highly recommend his place give it a try.“

“I think the food is better at this location than the Redlands one not sure why“

“one of my all-time standbys when I just have to have it.“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Palenque Mexican Restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was excellent.
A special thank you to Christian, who went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. He was friendly, attentive, professional, and genuinely made the experience feel special. It’s clear that he takes pride in his work and truly cares about his guests.
Christian was definitely a highlight of our visit. I would absolutely recommend Palenque to anyone looking for great Mexican food and wonderful service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Chicken Garbage Burrito!!“

“great service great food would great service“

“Very delicious. The best fish tacos in all of the inland empire. Before this, I thought Señor Baja was the best, but these just blow it out the water. The shrimp tacos have gotta be one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted in my life. There’s also the hardshell shrimp tacos that are unique, and I have never tasted anything like it before. The sauce they give you with it, which has like soy sauce, or something on it, I don’t know some black sauce, is incredibly delicious. Straight up, I’m questionably the best fish/shrimp tacos I’ve ever eaten in my life.“

“I had to Steak and eggs. The steak was amazing very soft very juicy. Rebbeca provided Excellent Service, she was outstanding! It was my first time there and the host was very kind and informative. I will definitely go back and recommend everyone to visit.“

“Some of the best Mexican food is sold here and I'm not talking about your regular burritos and tacos stuff. They have almost authentic dishes. And I say almost because authentic enchiladas don't have Monterey Jack but queso fresco, but I'm being picky. Worth visiting.“

“Great food . Large menu. Great services authentic Mexican food“

“I get tired of most Mexican restaurants because there is a sameness to them all, but Morena's is better, more upscale than the others. I love this place.“

“Good food , ambience, people“

“We had not enjoyed Sonora Grill till the other day. This is a local hang out for sure. Lots of folks already there & the line to order was busy the whole time.
The food was great! Enjoyed the smokiness of the house salsa & the environment.
Clean, super friendly, busy & delish!! Go! Enjoy!!
If you see somebody in there from the military, buy them lunch!! They deserve it!“

“This place surprised me. I got the chile relleno. It was so fresh tasting. The chips and salsa are amazing. My man got pork Colorado. He ate his whole plate. Beans are really good and not over salted. Also got a cactus pear margarita that was the best cactus pear margarita I have ever had. The service was superb. We will be going back. Wish I would've known about them a lot earlier when I moved into highland.“

“The food here is decent but we tried it 2x after our acupuncture appt, my husband and I and it just doesn’t feel / taste super authentic. We took my son some menudo home to be the ultimate judge. He also said the menudo was plain no flavor. I didn’t clock on don’t recommend because it is reasonably priced. Service was rather slow though, my husband can drink a diet soda like I can my wine , and they just didn’t keep up with it for him. So if in a rut and need food and don’t care about flavor Ten this is your spot.“

“best street tacos around i come here at least once a week 🔥🔥“

“I had a great experience at Fuego Cravings! I stopped in for a lunch break and ordered the surf and turf burrito with a horchata, and both were absolutely delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful, and definitely hit the spot after a busy day of work.

The staff was also very polite, kind, attentive, and welcoming. It’s always nice to support a local business that takes pride in both their food and customer service.

I highly recommend Fuego Cravings if you’re looking for some delicious food and great service. I’ll definitely be coming back! 🌯🔥🥤“

“Toda la comida muy buena“

“The flavor profile of the food here is just amazing. I saw one review said they only take cash that’s not true. I’ve paid with card every week for 3 years.

Their English isn’t amazing but I speak zero Spanish and get along just fine. I’ve brought probably 30 different people here and everyone has just ranted and raved about how good the food is.“

“Great food,fast service, reasonable prices, it's feels like home. Love homemade tortillas.“

“muy buen servicio 100% recomendado la torta cubana muy buena el pulque y el agua ni se diga todo muy rico espero que vuelva a ir antes que regrese a Chicago 😉“

“The food is good to eating here“

“Some people next to us got the monster burritos and calling them huge doesn't do them justice. They are MASSIVE. Their house burrito is huge... That's what I got and I could only eat half! Very good food, large portions and friendly staff. If you're looking for a great burrito, this is the spot.“

“My husband and I are very particular when it comes to our seafood, so we approach new dining experiences with a discerning palate. During our recent visit, we decided to sample several dishes, including the tacos al gobernador, which were stuffed with perfectly seasoned shrimp and topped with a zesty cream sauce. The Caldo 7 mares was a delightful medley of fresh seafood, featuring an array of fish, shrimp, and calamari in a rich, flavorful broth. We also indulged in the empanad. Finally, we couldn't resist trying the camarones a la curacha, which presented succulent shrimp in a spicy, tangy sauce that left us wanting more. Throughout our meal, we were impressed by the friendly and attentive staff, who went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful dining experience.“

“Great place to come eat anytime of the day service is outstanding and friendly. Lupita is my favorite, she’s so sweet and attentive I feel like I’m at home. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and great vibes.“

“The restaurant was clean and the service was fast. I got 2 pounds of carnitas and 1/2 pound of cueritoz. 🔥🔥🔥. The tortillas are a must get a few cause you'll definitely want more. The salsas are bomd. Definitely a must don't be changing your gonna wanna buy salsas.“

“We've been going here for years every time we come out to Moreno Valley and have tried almost the whole menu 😅 It's delicious!! Especially the fish tacos and mojarra frita are some of my favorites. Check it out for yourself!“

“Comida muy deliciosa estilo DF y la atención al cliente es excelente“

“It was so yummy. My dad brought me here and he was so excited like a kid in a candy store. He asked a lot of questions to the very kind people running it and they never once were rude or mean to him. The pizza was sooo good. We tried the avocado chorizo pizza. The cheese pull was INSANE I wish I had took a picture of it. 10/10 would love to come again“

“Absolutely DELICIOUS! Why am I just now discovering this delicious spot? OMG! We were on our way to the Mattel Toy Store and drove by it. My daughter looked it up and saw the wonderful reviews. So, on the way back from our shopping trip, we stopped! Omg! I will definitely become a regular customer! The restaurant is extremely clean and so is the kitchen! The cooks wear gloves!!!!!! My goal is to try everything on the menu! YUMMY!!!!!“

“Very great service, Alfredo the manager is one of a kind. Congratulations to the whole team!!!! 😃😃😃“

“I had a craving today and this was the place. I needed that chili verde pork and some chicken taquitos. This place never lets you down, come here once its great. Come here again and you know what you are getting because this place has the same quality, same ingredients and you know it's gonna be good.
It always an added treat to see my favorite former professional welterweight boxer Artemio Reyes, Jr at the window holding down the family's tradition. Thank you Sir.“

“This place is going viral so I checked it out with a friend. Definitely superior to Chipotle in size, taste, and price. We both enjoyed our food. Good variety of meats and toppings. The restaurant is small and busy, so at peak times it would probably be good to plan for take out.
Our only complaint is that the tortillas were too weak and the burritos fell apart while we were eating them. Using a thicker tortilla would be preferable.
Second visit:
I got the quesadilla this time. Also massive! Tasted good. And I tried the queso and chips. The queso is delicious.“

“Cenaduría Oaxaqueña Donaji truly exceeded my expectations. The restaurant is set in a house with limited parking, but plenty of street parking nearby. Luckily, we found a spot inside. As we stepped under the large white tarp, we were welcomed like guests at a family gathering, I immediately felt at home. While waiting for our table, they kindly seated us next to a heater, making the experience even more comfortable. From there, we could watch the food being prepared, and it was nothing short of an art form. After a brief 15-minute wait, we were seated and ready to enjoy our meal. I tried a tlayuda for the first time, and it was absolutely delicious, loaded with quesillo, beans, and three types of meat: cecina, chorizo, and what appeared to be chuleta. The portions were incredibly generous. We also shared a quesadilla with epazote, which was just as flavorful. With those two dishes, my wife and I had more than enough to eat. To top it off, the café de olla was incredible, and the hot chocolate was simply exquisite. I highly recommend visiting this hidden Oaxacan gem in Riverside!“

“Best Mexican food spot hands down. I always get the pambazo 🤤 absolutely delicious. Very filling and worth the messiness lol. My bf tries different things and is always happy. He extra likes their birria tacos. Their drinks are bomb too, I LOVE their chia y lemon plus their melon drink. I love it so much I make him get one so I can have half and half lol. My only compalint is the wait times sometimes but I understand it gets busy, we've waited 30mins several times but theyre making food fresh. And that they close too early 🥲“

“Olivia’s is a true quality restaurant. Great authentic Mexican food in a classic setting.“

“Came here for some quick drinks with friends and it was overall a great experience. The young lady at the bar provided great customer service and recommended the wings to us which were delicious and she also made us really good drinks! Will definitely be coming back!“

“DELICIOUS Food here! It's all about the taste & the food here has it!!“

“This place serves some of the most authentic Mexican food I’ve had in a long time. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, from the tortillas to the salsas. The flavors reminded me of a family-run restaurant in Mexico rather than a typical chain restaurant. Portions were generous, prices were reasonable, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. If you’re looking for real Mexican food with great flavor and a cozy atmosphere, this spot is definitely worth a visit.“

“My BFF from Redlands overnights Cuca’s to me because I miss their burritos 🌯and I live in Missouri 📦!! They’re my FAV Mexican food 😍“

“The best gorditas ever!! I highly recommend this place 🫶🏻“

“Friendly, the Carne Asada Burrito hit!!“

“I'm leaving this review because Angel the kind woman at the register, always gives the best service. I've given a review on the survey before but she's just the best, and makes sure your order comes out perfect. If something is even slightly wrong she will do her best to correct it.
I hope they make her job enjoyable here because she is such an amazing addition to their team.
Short summary.
Food is great and the place is always clean. Service is amazing“

“Honestly I don't think I've ever ordered anything other than their 7mares soup but it's THE BEST 7mares I've ever had. Large portion and the broth is seasoned beautifully with just a hint of spicy. It's the only thing I want when I'm sick.“

“Delicious food wonderful Margaritas and great service. 👍🏽“
