“I really wanted to like this place, because the food was really good. A girlfriend of mine and my 9 year old son visited here on Tuesday around 4pm. We walked in, we're immediately greeted and sat in a comfy booth, noticing the very unique artwork and decor. Pros: The Cadillac Margaritas on the rocks were very good. Ordered to start the guacamole and chips, was very tasty. We shared the Main Lobster Puerto Nuevo Style, the cook level was on point, and the seasonings were delicious. Now we were told it's 2 lbs of meat, which was definitely not the case. The cost for how much meat, I would say, is not worth the price at $95 an order. My son had grilled chicken tacos that he said were good. And we all appreciated the little churro ice cream dessert I received for a special birthday surprise. Cons: On a 1-10 level of volume, the music was at a 9, for 4pm on a Tuesday, it felt like they were trying to turn the place into a dayclub. Just seemed unnecessary to have it that loud. We could barely hear each other across the table. After sitting a while listening to the music, I would absolutely never bring my son back here. A couple of songs passed as we sat, where every other word was N$gg@#, F@$k, or other explicit words. Some may not agree, but I'm only 38 and find that highly inappropriate for a restaurant. Now, if that's the ambiance you want to have in your restaurant, no argument, however, then make it a 18 and up place or post something stating children may not be the best audience for your restaurant. We even made a comment to our waiter, and he just smiled and said, "Ya, there's a lot of songs like that we play!" and walked off. Our service was definitely less than stellar with him, let me tell you. As we walked in, we stated it was our first time. Anytime we asked a question, before we could finish our question, we were cut off and met with a very dismissive, hasty response as he would be walking away as well. It felt as if we were offending him or he just had more important things to do. Their menu is very confusing, as we were trying to figure out the taco pricing (since it was Taco Tuesday). The service from our waiter, I would say, was a 1 of 10. He was not friendly (even though he smiled) his demeanor was uninviting and sometimes condescending. In the end, thankfully, we had another young lady who was taking care of us. She was very sweet and pleasant as we commented on our concerns she stated she would let the manager know. In understanding, it's not her fault, we would've told our waiter. However, he disappeared after we received our food. All in all, this place has good food, but it is not good enough for us to spend almost $200 for horrible and condescending service.“

“Wow this place is good. Friendly staff and a beautiful seating area. Don't confuse this place with the one down the street. I made that mistake. I don't know why they have the same name on the same street 2 blocks apart. Trust me they are not where near the same. The one in town is gross 😝 and the people working there suck. Definitely don't go there come to this place way better all the way around. This place is situated in a nice little park. With a well maintained dining area. Lots of shade and all food that we got was super good.
Unfortunately I mixed the 2 up and my friends kept telling me to try it.It was really good and I kept telling them they were crazy until today when I finally figured out there's 2 of them, and I got to finally try what everybody was talking about.And how much better everything here is. Highly recommended.“

“Have been going to Guadalajara's for years I think it's one of the best Mexican restaurants in Lake Elsinore although I pretty much only had maybe three things on the menu I love to get the Macho burrito I can eat on it for days it is so big the food is authentic“

“Great food here. Probably one of the most overlooked places in the area. Stop by enjoy some great food and tell them Santa sent you. Been going here for over 5 years now and i have never been disappointed“

“Tacos Elsinore has been a staple in Lake Elsinore for a very long time, and it’s easy to see why. It’s solid, reliable Mexican fast food that covers all your favorites , quick, tasty, and affordable. They also run daily deals, which makes it even better if you’re trying to grab something good without spending much.
My only gripe is the salsas. They’re not the best and definitely not spicy, and the complimentary carrots fall into the same category , not terrible, just not doing much. But honestly, for fast Mexican food at this price point, it’s not a dealbreaker.
Stop in for the deal of the day and enjoy some great, fast Mexican food.“

“Juan's Rotisserie Chicken is one of best chickens, but the customer service is bad. I ask for 2 burritos with fres meat the guy that makes it gave an attitude like if I was asking to give it to me for free. I end up paying for a whole chicken for fresh meat burritos“

“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 ? ?“

“Our company has partnered with Soho Taco for multiple events, and we have consistently had positive experiences. Their service is exemplary, communication is clear and efficient, and the quality of the food is outstanding. Additionally, the staff is friendly and professional, making collaboration a pleasure. We highly recommend Soho Taco as a vendor for your events, and we encourage you to try their tacos, which are a standout option.“

“excelente antención.felicitacioanes al cheff“

“Great place and service. Major upgrade with the menus and cashiers. Place has turned around. You won't be disappointed. Carne asada burritos are my favorite.“

“friendly, good customer service“

“never had a bad meal extremely friendly staff.“

“The food is good but....I ordered a large menudo to go when I opened it at home there was no spoon and there was more juice than menudo I mean there was VERY little menudo in the cup to the point that you actually had to look for it with your spoon. I've had their tortas and they were good. Haven't tried their burritos or tacos yet. So I'm giving them“

“Found this place on google and it lived up to its name. I got the shrimp burrito with cabbage, crispy cheese, Chipotle sauce and pico on the side. It was delicious!
Wifey got the potato taco and carne asada and was pleased as well. Definitely stop by if you're in the lake elsinore area.“

“Hands down one of the greatest restaurants in Lake Elsinore. The food and service was awesome. My mom and dad had their reception there. Not only was the staff nice. They helped us with everyone and everything. They took good care of my parents, and our friends and family. And let me tell you there was a lot of people. Everyone at Emilio’s was family to us at the end of the night! They even partied with us! 🥳 Thank you so much for everything. One more thing the food was delicious!!!!!!! We had beans, enchiladas, flautus, rice and guacamole. I wanted more round of the flautus!“

“Great outside seating area to enjoy the food and watch the World Series!“

“The food is always good at this location. You can ask for the chicken to be well done, juicy or in between. Personnel are always pleasant and friendly. The restaurant can get busy, specially at the drive thru at peek hours. Dine in is OK, place is clean but it's just a basic dinner. You eat and you leave, nothing different than other Pollo Loco restaurants. Don't forget to ask for your senior or military discount. Same for first responders. They don't mind you asking.“

“Good fish tacos at a reasonable price. The atmosphere got a 4-star rating only because it gets very crowded at peak hours and homeless people lurk in the parking lot. But that's not within the restaurant's control. And the crowd is a good sign that people love the food. So good get some good fish tacos NOW!“

“Great food for an after ride recharge.“

“I hired Michelle’s Kitchen to cater my staff Xmas party. The food and service was amazing! Great communication from start to finish!! I also ordered tamales and they were amazing!“

“Miguel’s Jr in my home town is a winner! Beautiful new location; same great taste 😋! Miguelitos is a staple for Inland Empire and now SoCal residents who want a delicious meal without the long wait of a sit down restaurant. Plus the Red Sauce is boss! Cada dia! 🙌“

“The Super Breakfast Burrito 🌯 is my favorite! It is enormous, delicious and the fresh salsa bar is extensive... The fresh carrots are flavorful and spicy, I especially love the fresh salsa with cilantro! Thank you for providing a delicious quality breakfast to me, (my favorite) and being there for the entire community throughout this COVID-19 pandemic insanity! The staff is very friendly and helpful, thank you!“

“I love this location. They’re always nice and greet me. Everywhere with a kiosk ignores you but they always ask if you need any assistance with it. I appreciate that they give you as many salsas as you want. I went to the menifee location and they charged me. Even the app shows $0. Foods always right and I’ll keep coming to this location.“

“just had the best fish tacos, rice and beans, birria quesadilla, hot cheeto corn, and fries. DELICIOUS!! 5 stars from me. will be back soon!! 😋🙌🏼😃“

“the food it's really food and the service it's great“

“Fish taco and Shrimp taco were amazing!! And I love their taco sauce on top!! Enchiladas and chile rellenos were also fabulous. This was the best restaurant Mexican food I've had since moving down here 10 years ago from the Central Coast!! So glad I stumbled upon El Burrito Lake Elsinore!!“

“Sucks they don’t have any outside dining but I guess they don’t want any bums around“

“I will never eat at a Corporate or Billionaire fast food joint as long as there an S S Burger Basket available. Double bacon Cheese Burger and Fries were the best. Reminds me of the burger we got in the late 70s. Charbroiled with fries and great portions. This is a must if you are hungry.“

“Came here on Tuesday June 6th at 10PM. Whoever was working there tonight was friendly and polite. I ordered the cheesy gordita crunch and a hard taco and both were made beyond perfect. You guys were awesome tonight and the food was so well made. Thank you so much to the staff tonight.“

“Tonight’s visit was outstanding, drive tru cashier made our night by being friendly and helpful. We had a big order with lots of picky eaters. They listened to every detail did not miss a thing. All my meals were bagged as meals (saved me from guessing where each item is at) plus all my fries were hot. It’s very refreshing to see great service with people who care about customers.“

“Friendly staff that always gets our order right!“
