Restaurants in Temecula
Best Restaurants
“Service was great.. right from the start with the nice gentleman who seated us partook in our antics! Food was great... a little too chilly in the restaurant, had to keep our jackets on.. will definitely recommend or visit next time in ”
“We went on a Sunday, it was our first time in Temecula, we were actually viewing venues in the area and had no clue what to expect. The town is really busy so it was understandable that service was slow but the waitress we had was kind and helped correct mistakes of the kitchen. The poached eggs my husband got for his Benny were over done, the second time one of the poached eggs was under the other was over done. The Benedict my husband had was bland and the potatoes were way under seasoned. Honey garlic fries were flavored well but were cold with the sandwich. The atmosphere was nice, music was great, drinks were good.”
“Oscars has been my favorite restaurant in Temecula since I was a kid, and on our visit back I found that it's still the same!! Breadsticks are a MUST! Never disappoints.”
“I finally found an Indian place that serves amazing food. I usually have to drive to SD to get decent Indian food but not no more. My only reason for giving it 4 stars is because they confused me and my brother in laws spice level. His dish was supposed to be spicy and mine medium, well mine was not edible after a few bites as it was too spicy and his was so mild we wondered if there was any spice at all put in. Other than that I recommend this place :)”
“Let me tell you, this was my first time there last weekend and I loved the experience. The ambiance was beautiful. The idea of having the choice of wine and tea, I thought was a great idea. The service was great, I even got the opportunity to meet one of the Chefs. I did the Premium Tasting which offers a 7 course meal of your choice of wine or tea. The wine and/or tea was paired with each meal and went perfect as it was presented. I definitely recommend this place and make reservations. I will be back and hopefully I can try something new on the menu.”

Restaurants with Delivery
“Delicious food! And great service! It's lively and such a fun experience, great for families with young kids. The free play on the arcade games is so much fun! The food is top notch”

“Everything about Red Pine is worth 5 stars. Every single time I have gone here to eat, I have left feeling satisfied. To start, customer service is clearly a priority. Derrick, the owner, is up front most of the time interacting with his customers and making food himself. I have come to think of him as a friend after all of our fun conversations. Just recently I came in totally hungry and worn out, and he gave me a bit extra and made an effort to lighten my mood (literally reset the tone of my day). Beyond service, his food is healthy and delicious. He uses fresh ingredients that him and his staff prep each day-- you can taste the difference. While it may seem a bit pricey at first, the portion size and quality make the food well worth it. The drink menu also has great variety; my favorites are the Vietnamese coffee and pomegranate refresher. I would say the Vietnamese coffee has a similar caffeine level to a Starbucks cold brew. Red Pine is a casual and clean place with comfortable indoor seating and ample outdoor seating. Overall it has a nice ambience and is really clean. I have come by to study and just hang out from time to time and it was pleasant. Im pretty sure the back seating area is near an outlet”
“The ice cream is great here. You get a lot for a good price. There are lots of flavors, and it always tastes creamy and chewy if that makes sense. The texture of their ice cream is the best. The customer service is also worth it. The young people they have working there are courteous and helpful. I got an ice cream cake for my husband's birthday and the cake was delicious.”
“Tuscan Chicken Panini is heavenly! So delicious! Focaccia,pesto,mozzarella,tomato and chicken….hot and yummy! Worth the visit every time! Also, don’t forget to pick up a fresh cinnamon burst loaf, it’s really good used in a French toast casserole. I just love this place!”
“Such a great find! I love seeking out unique crafted sandwiches, and on our way through Temecula found this gem. My wife and I stopped in with our dog and were immediately greeted with some freshly shaven meats for our furry little one. We ordered the Italian and the Pesto chicken which were both phenomenal exactly as they prepared them. Super welcoming and friendly staff. They even threw in a couple macorons and a sample of their new soup of the day! Definitely worth the stars. Small spot with a few tables. Will visit again next time I'm within 30-45 mins of Temecula.”
“Yum! Came around opening and surprised to see a few tables already taken. Took a little while to get greeted but no big deal. I ordered the Mushroom Tofu soup and my brother ordered Spicy Bulgogi and Kim chi tofu combo, which is a little cheaper at lunch compared to dinner. Everything tasted great! Seemed like good quality eats. It was a little pricy in my opinion about $18 for my tofu and $24 for the combo, although mine was a pretty hearty portion. I think the combo is the better option out of the two. Service was nice. It was very quiet in there so I think it would've been nice turning on some music or even the TV in there.”
“We hand so much fun are are tour guide who goes by the name of the dark chocolate was very entertaining and our driver who goes by rag was really Nice too! Can't wait to do it again”
“Service was great! Came for boba and loved it! They have a big menu and flavors I hadn't seen before. Want to try more next time. I got a matcha milk tea with boba. Love the cups and the carrying bags! The bags have seperate compartments for each drink.”
“I like the tea-presoso jasmine green tea with boba. The employees are helpful with choosing what to order. They also have rose milk tea which some other boba places don’t carry.”
“Ordered take out, hard to find an Arabic restaurant out here that has fresh meat and never frozen.The shawarma sandwich reminds me of Dearborn food. I loved it.Great customer service and the vibe inside is a very positive atmosphere. I didn’t feel awkward or anything since I have severe anxiety.PS: open more locations near Moreno Valley I’d come every day.”
“Best Buffet in town all the way through San Diego. Nobody can beat their prices. Can't stop myself from coming here and eating all day long. Absolutely delicious food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.”

“Mike was the B-E-S-T best. My girlfriend and I sat in the corner like two little creepers and he kept us giggling and NOT thirsty! As far as wines go, the reserve chardonnay, 2021 red crowded and the 2020 reserve sage petite Sirah were the winners! (And I always leave with bottles on bottles of the brut rosé) CHEERS!”
“Excellent. Stopped over for lunch. Had a younger child with us (two adults). Service and food was excellent. Huevos y Papas = A+ and the veggie fajitas same!!! Soooo good. Huge portions, we took home enough to eat a meal later. Best thing tho???? Their table salsa..omg. we gobbled it up and actually bought 16oz to take home. Our waitress was kind, prompt, and provided kid friendly drink ware and an extra plate without prompts.”
“We had a large table. About only 3 out 11 of us liked our food. Definitely weird twists to things. We also didn't really see our waitress much. Had to find other staff to ask for things. We figured it was cause gratuity was already added.. I don't think any of us would eat here again but it's definitely a pretty spot.”

“I'm grateful for Yelp in helping us find this place. It's off the beaten path in a mote industrial area, so you're not likely to run across it just by driving by. Do yourself a favor and find out anyway. Started out with terrific, friendly, and efficient service. Alex made us feel athome and welcome and was patient with our questions. Extremely accommodating and pleasant. Thank you, Alex! The food was so good we ate still talking about it the next day. I can see why carnitas are their specialty. I had the Canarios Carnitas plate, as I'm a big fan of good carnitas, and this set a new bar for me. Beautiful crispy carnitas served with rice and beans and pickled onions, and wonderful, fresh, hand-made tortillas. Alex offered to put a serving of skin on the side, and even suggested how best to enjoy it. I will remember and recommend this dish for a long time. My wife ordered the chicken flautas, which were also excellent. We will be back on our next trip.”

“My old mate and I had the inestimable pleasure of dining at this famed establishment, and the privilege of having the lovely Ashley as our server. Our meals were damn tasty, and the berry cobbler was delicious… we’ll be back????”
“Café e cuisine traditionnelle.I love this casual .. yet cozy European Style Street Café!They offer great Coffee, Crescent sandwiches, Omelets. My all favorite is Quiche Lorraine.Served with a smile always!Parking: Depending on the day and time.. you might get lucky to find a parking space right in front of this café.”
“Toast has delicious food!Mostly frequented by locals during the week and by fashionably dressed Angelenos on the weekends.Their menu includes Good Coffee, Beautifully adorned cocktails.Toast serves Breakfast and Lunch.Toast is Dog Friendly?”
“So glad we came here. From the start, everyone was incredibly friendly. They were helpful, patient and accommodating. The dark chocolate mocha was so good. Patrick the owner was helpful, friendly and greets everyone. It is a cozy, enjoyable place to get your coffee.”
“Great beer, great cider. Wonderful service.Hubby and I stopped in after seeing an ad on facebook. We had a great time tasting different drinks. Music was playing and everyone was having a good time. We will be back.”
“After a long busy day, my son and I wanted a treat. Phil's BBQ is consistently delicious and serves generous portions. I had the rib tickler, and my son had the loaded fries with tri-tip. We each also got a sausage link. There are no pictures to post because we dove in as soon as I got home and are now in a food coma! ??”
“Great place for people who like great food. The staff are great and well-versed in the menu. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes a great, reasonable priced menu.”
“Hidden among many businesses is this "unique" pastry place. There is a wide variety of gelato flavors all with the perfect texture. Their unique chimney cone, is what makes it special. The owner has a great sense of humor and is super friendly. I love the family feel of this shop. It's small, but very homey and pleasant. I will no doubt, return here.”
“We came here to check out Leoness for our wedding venue and ended staying for lunch.....and WOW! So glad we did! The food was amazing! Highly recommend the lamb and the chicken!! Amanda P. gave us great service as well! And oh yeah....we ended up hiring Leoness for our wedding! I have to give a VERY special shoutout to an extraordinary person at Leoness....Melody Miller! When we first went to tour the vineyard for our wedding venue we were greeted by Melody and Deanna. Mind you this was our 3rd tour of the day and I had my fill of wedding coordinators trying to pitch us and convince us their vineyard was where we should have our wedding. Melody was different from the start! (And I'll say this....Leoness Cellars sells itself! Stunning property!) She really had a feel for me (my partner was unfortunately home with covid so I was facetiming him during the tour), our wants and needs. When she said "I want you guys to have the wedding of your dreams!" I really believed her.....more so than anyone else I met that day or during any other venue tour. After the tour we sat and went over the pricing, and never once did I feel any pressure from her. A few days later Melody informed me that she was leaving Leoness for personal family business and I have to say that it REALLY bummed me out. BUT she gave me her information and let me know that if there was anything she could do to help us to make our dream wedding come true she would do her best....again.....I TOTALLY BELIEVED HER! I kept in touch with her even though Deanna was our contact person from that point on. Deanna left a VERY bad taste in my mouth and lacks the connection and sincerity to be a good wedding coordinator. So much so that she completely ghosted us the day we were ready to sign the contract and pay the deposit! I reached out to Melody and she informed me that Deanna quit!!! SERIOUSLY?!?! I had no idea who to talk to at that point because we didn't want to lose the date for our wedding! Like a superhero swooping in to save the day, Melody told me not to worry and that she knew who was taking over and would make the call for us to ensure we would have the wedding of our dreams! (Are you seeing the theme here?!?) Melody bent over backwards for us to make things happen even though she was not longer working at Leoness Cellars! SHE LITERALLY SAVED OUR WEDDING! That is how much she genuinely cares about her clients!! She put us in contact with Ryan, who is picking up the mess that Deanna left and I have to say that so far he is doing a remarkable job! We canNOT wait to have our wedding there! To the Owner(s), CEO, COO and/or whoever else is in charge at Leoness Cellars: BRING MELODY MILLER BACK!!!! SHE IS AN ASSET TO YOUR BUSINESS!!!”

“A must try if your in downtown Temecula or just driving by looking for a great sandwich. The pastrami, meatball and all American were amazing. The service was fast and friendly. All I can say Is, I'll be back. They had a nice little seating area with some music playing”
“Great food as usual (not first time)!!! server, Miguel very prompt and attentive. Also he was training Christina who was very attentive with nice smile! It has a real hometown feel!”
“Beautiful winery with great service. Our group came on a really packed Saturday, and as busy as it was, the service was 5 stars. We really loved the wine tasting experience here and the ambiance was really great! There was something for everyone, we enjoyed being upstairs for the tasting and chatting with staff as well as the more lively crowd downstairs, and then still the kiddos have a play area downstairs by the creek. Food was ok, but the slushie was stellar. If you get a chance, go!Food & drinks: Food is decent, but the wine is lovely. Even the wines more on the dry end were very smooth. Try the wine tasting here for an unforgettable experience”

“A friend told us about Chef K and we are so happy we tried the food here. It is so tasty and you get enough food to take home for another meal. Very clean and the service is great. Thank you!”
“I only come for the popcorn chicken snack because it’s delicious and they give a good portion. The owner is nice and really helpful. Most importantly, they always give me extra spicy powder to put on my chicken because I love it super crunchy and spicy! ?Parking: Same lot as Trader Joe’s.”
“Mike was the B-E-S-T best. My girlfriend and I sat in the corner like two little creepers and he kept us giggling and NOT thirsty!

“My wife and I came in and were greeted right away. The wait was minuscule and we were seated pretty quickly. The complimentary focaccia bread was delicious and fresh! The only downside was that they ran out calimari but that can be forgiven given our dinner. We had the spaghetti carbonara and the risotto con gamberi. Both were delicious! I ordered the carbonara and it was delicious. My wife's risotto was amazing (10 out of 10)! I would definitely come back again!”
“ amazing, although we waited an hr for our el chapo, still tasted great so don’t come starving.Service: the bartender was on it, service on food time was the lower rank (only one chef)Atmosphere: kids, kids, kids…. If you are a parent I know why you came, first date will give you background noise, and millennials a dosage of birth control lol”
“We had a large group come in for lunch. The restaurant, management, and servers went out of their way to accommodate us. The food was delicious and we had a great time!!! It was a wonderful and we can’t wait to do it again!!! Thank you all.”
“Went here for my sisters rehearsal dinner, and it was AMAZING. as always their food was fantastic, their cowgirl kisses are to die for! we got a great spot in the restaurant, they even were nice enough to let up put some decorations down for the dinner. It was perfect, service was stellar as always! Highly recommend! I don't think theres a bad item on the menu everything is fantastic!”
“Great spot to grab a meal after drowning yourself in grape juice at the wineries. They have very spacious indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered a ton of food but the favorites were the paella and the fried calamari. I do recommend the kids meals for your small ones because it comes in a nice little bento. Ample parking too.”
“Really great location, cute ambiance. We went here for a pre-wedding brunch the day before my sister's wedding and it was perfect for bloody mary's and mimosas! The spicy bloody mary I ordered was so good, bartender did an awesome job! He was also our server, and he was fantastic, great service! We ordered the nachos to share and fries to snack on and both were delicious! Highly recommend, we will for sure be back!”
“Absolutely stunning! I will say there is better wine at some of the other wineries, but this is definitely one of my favorites overall. Whenever I'm in Temecula, I make sure to visit here.”

“Food was great. The steak used in the salad and steak sandwich was very tender. The hummus plate was great, though it could use more hummus. I'm knocking off a star only because this place doesn't serve beer. It's a winery, I know, I know. ? I still think they should at least offer a couple of bottled beers for the beer lovers. ?All in all, it's a nice place with great vistas and good food.”
“Quick to seat, served complimentary miso, attentive waitress, expeditious food service, checked in on often, rolls were amazing, clean space, and respectful staff.My favorite sushi spot. I'd be willing to drive 2 hours to come here again, and make it an excuse to have a day trip in the area. Locals here are lucky to have this spot!Absolutely amazing!”

“Hands down our family’s favorite winery stay in Temecula. If you get lucky to wake up with balloons outside your window- it is an image you will never forget. Great pool and hot tub. Free shuttle across 2 sister hotels. Great service and good wine- what more would you ask for?”
“I like going to blends for a white mocha latte and plain croissant. It's really good! I love being able to use my players card here. Service is speedy, and ambiance is 6/10. Would recommend getting a cup of joe here!”
“Did you win $500 on roulette? Did you lose $1k on roulette? Celebrate or cry with a cheesesteak! This (pictured) meal at 2:30 AM is the way to go. It is life-changing and -saving. It will rejuvenate your soul. Plus it's one of the few locations that is open 24 hours, for all occasions. Sure it's in a good court but don't let that take away from the greatness that is a cheesesteak and fries.”
“Had not been to a Del Taco in decades. The staff was great and the food was a good value- sometimes I just want a few tacos, nothing fancy- that’s exactly what I got and it was delivered hot and with a smile. Thanks!”

However my receipt showed they were charging me. I asked for a refund or other food to make it up and they acted with an attitude before giving a refund.”
“Amazing meadery! I am glad everytime I swing by, there is a great selection to choose from. Every time I've visited, Jason never fails to recommend top notch selections.

“Got Four large cookies, they were all different kinds. Some were sweet one was bland tasting, and one was ok. The reason I tried four was I purchase these cookies though a new app. Called Too Good To Go where you can buy day old food deals. Very Neat Idea. Now I went back a few days later and bought the chocolate chip cookie that is a winner ? By the the owners make the cookies and run it.”
“I don’t typically eat pho, but this pho place is definitely the best in town.We got the veggie pho and # 8. The broth is very savory and tasty. I love itWe also got Thai iced tea and avocado smoothie with boba. My partner loved the avocado smoothie so much he ordered one to go.Go check them out”
“Was surprised at how quaint this was inside. I was expecting it to be more of a fast food type place but when I entered, it was so warm, and I love the atmosphere. The service was excellent. The food was really good. I wasn’t expecting anything like this and came out very surprised and very delighted.”

“The ice cream was amazing! I did not care for the cookie dough but I think it's because I got the snickerdoodle flavor haha. It's def worth a try but it is a lot of cookie ”
“I am Greek and know good Greek food and this place is it!! The only place where they have meat in the dolmade's instead of rice as a filler. That is the Greek way. The flavor was fantastic, and the portions are perfect. Hats off to Ladera for finally giving us some decent Greek cuisine.”
“Great and fun place! Strong community supporting establishment with creative menu. I had one of the best hot dogs I have ever had in my life. The best part was seeing how much this owner and staff loved what they do! Veterans and First Responder friendly too! Stop in and you will enjoy great food and local brews!”

Our waitress was kind, prompt, and provided kid friendly drink ware and an extra plate without prompts.”
“? pizza was delicious! I'd definitely go there all the time if I lived nearby. Overheard some customers talking about how they had been going there for 25 years. My only preference would have been for there to be other finger foods/sides like cheese sticks, fries, or wings...Oh and I forgot their marinated jalapeños were yummy too.”
“Our go-to pizza spot when we arrived in Temecula. Great pizza and the service is impeccable, we ordered delivery once and it took a couple hours on a backed up night. They gave us the pizza on the house— incredibly generous.”
“I'm sorry I don't have photos . I enjoyed the Brunch House with my daughter and granddaughter. We received fantastic service from a very friendly and attentive staff. It was very busy but well worth the wait! My daughter has to eat a gluten free diet and she had lots of delicious options to choose from. My granddaughter and I really enjoyed our meals as well. I hope this helps.”
“My wife and I came in and were greeted right away. The wait was minuscule and we were seated pretty quickly. The complimentary focaccia bread was delicious and fresh! The only downside was that they ran out calimari but that can be forgiven given our dinner. We had the spaghetti carbonara and the risotto con gamberi. Both were delicious! I ordered the carbonara and it was delicious. My wife's risotto was amazing (10 out of 10)! I would definitely come back again!”
“Have been coming here for years. As far as a local spot, this is a great stop . I lobe how they expanded the menu. Love the truffle chips, steak frits, and the pork belly skewers.This specific time, I had a thin mint version of an espresso martini, and it was amazing .”
“Awesome membership terms, many events for community engagement, good design, and a very enjoyable spot to escape the urban lifestyle without leaving the city. Your own food and snacks are allowed at the patio.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Hands down best burgers. This location was clean and was faster to eat inside. I eat from all in n out locations and don’t think I’ve ever had any true complaints.”
“Service was fast. Place was clean. It's in a nice area, with other fast food restaurants, like Popeyes and Del Taco. Close to the 15 freeway, right on the main strip in Temecula.We ordered 2 double doubles, 1 cheese burger, fries, and a chocolate shake. My shake was really good as well as my cheese burger. I like that they use thousand Island on their burgers instead of mayo.This place is very busy. Parking was scarce. We went on a Friday.Anyway order was correct, and the burgers were really good.”
“I've been coming to Rosa's Tortilla Factory since I first arrived in Temecula in 2005. We've since (sadly) moved away, but it's nice to see, on our return visits, that Rosa's is still largely unchanged. For anyone interested in Baja cuisine, be aware that Rosa's is more of the Tex Mex style of Mexican food. It's a small step up from fast food, though infinitely more authentic than something like Taco Bell or Del Taco. The main attraction for me are their cheese enchiladas, tamales, and of course, the freshly made tortillas which are out of this world good. Generally, any combination plate ordered comes with two of the homemade tortillas, or they may be ordered separately. The ground beef can be a bit bland, ditto the shredded chicken in fare like their regular crunchy tacos. I usually order the two cheese enchilada plate and a pork tamale and am usually on the edge of requiring medical assistance to exit the building upon completion of said meal. Their salsa bar is also pretty solid. Be aware, the chile de arbol salsa is labeled HOT for very good reason, but if you need to spot weld your tongue to your fork, it gets the job done.”
“Service was great and definitely not as crowded as the restaurants up in Ontario or Rancho Cucamonga. Didn't have to wait for a seat. Back again for another lunch while I was in town for a night. Great great spaghetti with meat sauce that includes soup and salad and bread.”
“I really don't like Arby's, but my husband does, so yes we went. I got the BLT, and a crispy chicken sandwich. He got a Fish sandwich and something else. The price for a BLT was a little much! So I don't think I will be going there again. I mean for the price, I should be sitting at a table being served. Service was fine, we got it to go as we were on a weekend trip, and had to keep going. From what I saw the place looked clean.So now we're in the car and I ask my husband how his fish sandwich is and he says GOOD! SO, I open my BLT to find black crispy bacon! Lol, overpriced and BURNT! But the Chicken Sandwich was good.So I gave 3 stars for the other 3 sandwiches, and service. I wish I could have given more, BUT that Burnt overpriced BLT left a bad taste in my mouth, or should I say Burnt. I really wish I would have taken a picture of it.”
“Everyone loves Chick-fil-A and I would love to give Chick-fil-A five stars but there's just so much waste every time I go to Chick-fil-A I say I'm not going back because everything is in bags and extra bags and extra bags and they still use Styrofoam cups and plastic. It makes me so sad that they are so busy all the time and I cannot imagine how many tons of waste as being produced just from Chick-fil-A. Love the food, quality and always good service at every one but please cut back on the waste and offer on-site recycling.”
“im so excited a fairy queen opened in my neighborhood it's so nostalgic and I love their cones . I just had to write a review I didn't get her name but she had these beautiful green eyes . A beautiful black girl she took her time answering my questions and she was very pleasant. I will be coming back”
“First time trying this chain and I loved my experience at this location! Neal was very friendly and helped me decide what to order. Great choice if you're having a craving for chili dogs”
“So let's just face it nobody wants to work fast food and when you come into a fast food establishment and you get a employee who just goes above and beyond to make sure that you have a smile on your face and your food is exactly how you wanted it you should cherish and review that employee so I want to give a shout out to Maria she's amazing and if you're ever in the Temecula area come show them some love because they got a lot of great people here”
“Most of the other Taco Bell's when I order nacho fries put them sideways in the bag and they spill everywhere, the GOAT of an establishment this Taco Bell is put them in their own bag and upright. They deserve all the money in the world, I'm coming back to this Taco Bell from now on”
“Tried a pastry from better buzz. The atmosphere is clean and well designedI didn't try coffee as I'm pursuing energy drinks more these days. I tried their crumbone- basically a buttery monkey bread/ center cinnamon roll. This is addictingOmg priced well. Now I wanna try the coffee”
“The food was better there than other Carl's Jr. The service was also great. We got 2 children's meals, chicken strip combo meal and a lettuce wrap Ortega chili and chicken sandwich”
“I had misread the menu price and was questioning the price difference and the young man handled the situation with kindness and grace... he had such a genuine, pleasant attitude and I really appreciated it! I wish there were more of him around, cause these days good customer service can be tricky! The manager was great as well! I remembered as I drove off that I remembered the manager from yrs ago and he was awesome back then too! They could teach the Winchester location a thing or two cause that location is the complete opposite experience!The coleslaw had a weird taste, not sure how to describe it, like maybe a stage of it about to go bad. I didn't continue to eat and was bummed cause I love their coleslaw and like to have it with every bite of chicken.”
“The coffee is, to my liking, made a bit strong. Pikes even has a bit of a kick.We've been to this Starbucks several times, and the service is magnificent. The employees are always working at a break neck speed, so waiting is kept to a minimum.”
“Let me tell you about Austin from Panda Express, He's not just an amazing person he should be a manager but also Austin is a vert genuinely kind-hearted person. When he saw that my son needed new clothes, he went out of his way to make it happen. Austin's willingness to help and his caring nature really shine through. He's the type of person who goes above and beyond for others, and it's truly inspiring.My son is lucky to have someone like Austin in his corner.-Look how happy my son is <3 again thank you for Austin(update)I recently found out Austin got fired from panda express I am truly heart broken please reconsider hiring the boy Austin.Wheelchair accessibility: I can move around thanks to Austin I don’t know why you guys let him go.”
“Our party of six dined at Pangaea tonight. We ordered a variety of appetizers, entrees, and drinks. The food was excellent and the service outstanding. Hats off to the staff and the chef. It was a good time and they were diligent in attending to one member of our party with a food allergy.”
“This place, for lack of a better word, is underrated. It’s just so far from me now. It takes a hour and a half to get there but one day I just know I’ll visit again.”

RAPHA TEA
“Searching for the best boba place in town and came across this shop on Yelp. I was immediately sold upon reading other reviews. First off, the boba here has an amazing gummy, chewy texture. As for flavor, I do wish it was sweeter. I got an order of Thai milk tea and it was great! Service was decent and the ambiance is cute and modern/cozy. If I could suggest a flavor, I'd love to see a pandan milk tea flavor. My husband is a pandan and boba fanatic, so I think I could persuade him to come here rather than his usual spot if this place had a pandan milk tea.”

“**March 2024: Week Night Visit** My friend and I were driving in to grab a quick bite before attending a concert nearby. I was really looking forward to the birria sando as so many reviews were so positive. Unfortunately, on my visit they were out of that so I did the next most popular sando "The California Club." The gentleman at the counter was very sweet and inquired on bread selection and preparation. I decided on getting the onion bread pressed like a panini for a hot sandwich. Shortly afterwards he brought it out and it was delicious. The bacon was crispy, the avocado creamy, and all the ingrediants made for a cohesive sando. I'll be back and will hopefully get to try the birria sando!”
“Great little Mexican restaurant, been coming here for years, was my on the way home after work ready dinner spot. Gone through name changes and owners, but has always seemed to have good food.The newest rendition as Familia restaurant grill is just a good or better then all the rest. I waited for a month before trying, so the cooks could get the recipes just right and get the cooking equipment seasoned in.... the recipes are really good, mostly authentic, tasting foods. The taste will get better the more seasoned the equipment becomes, was still a little new when I visited. Got the Carne asada and it was delicious, definitely recommend. Will be eating here more often. Service was great, fast, friendly and professional. Food was cooked and ready quickly, but not too quickly, hot, fresh and not from a box...I usually go to Mike's liquor store next door for my drinks and take my food to go, not to special inside, just what you expect from a mexican fast food joint, have tables outside to eat and enjoy the weather, overall a place you should at least try and most likely will be put into your monthly restaurant rotation.Parking: Parking is easy and plentiful, enough handicap spots, never seen parking lot too full.”
“My home away from home. Been a regular, and a mugger in some capacity for some time. Know most of the staff by name, and they know my orders. Great place to enjoy a night while in town, or if you live nearby, you may find yourself gravitating back.Food and service have never let me down. The tacos and Reuben are classic, and the wings, I can't give away any secrets, but they are more than just friend and drowned in sauce.One of my favorite places, lots of family, staff and patrons alike, great food, awesome staff, and friendly customers! oh yea! burger monday is worth way more than the price!!!!”
“A delicious Thai cuisine restaurant with rich taste and rich ingredients. There are not many seats in the restaurant, which can accommodate about 30 people.Recommended!Kid-friendliness: A variety of non-spicy meals are available.”
“Second time here , first time ordered cauliflower pepperoni was EXCELLENT, today I ordered rustic garlic chicken thin crust it is Superb!!!!!! Service Excellent!!”
“The food is amazing and the staff are very attentive. The atmosphere is chill but can be loud and overstimulating with large groups or families. The only issue I've had is that staff seem to want you to pay and immediately leave precisely when you finish your meal. I eat slow, and I like to digest and conversate after eating.”
“I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice cream. We all know how that saying goes. I will always love small businesses over the huge franchises for the simple fact that it's made with more love. Hands down that Mariposa makes the best ice cream. It's so soft and creamy! And I have to appreciate their rotating flavors especially during the holidays. My favorite flavor is Aviness (-: Yummy. Yeah, it's that good!”
“Our first experience with Quail and it will definitely warrant repeat businessOur waitress and partial owner Sarah was spot on with KNOWLEDGEABLE beer and wine tasting comments and recommendationsThe atmosphere is good and the overall cleanliness was noticeable yet we didn’t feel pressuredWe didn’t have any food so I can not review that on this outingLOL ??Now I need to return ??”
“Good food, good service. I got the Ahi bowl and it was very good, very fresh, served with a chipotle sauce and sweet teriyaki sauce, both on the side, along with a warm piece of panini type bread. It was served to me much faster than expected and the guy who took my order was very friendly. I especially valued their outside seating which I really needed because I had my dog with me. I’d definitely come back again.”
“Lovely Cozy Café with a GIANT personality!I’m here with my friends and family often.I’d like to say to management, continue doing a great job!Oak Grove Culinary Creations does have the Very Best Cappuccino in Temecula! ?.

“been going here since i was a kid. never thought this place would close just like that. so heartbreaking and a major loss for temecula. the ONLY delicious and authentic food at this place. so sad i could cry. even more sad for anyone who never got to taste it”
“It was amazing the sushi was very delicious and we even got complimentary edamame and ice cream at the end<3 i went with my bf here and the miso soup was great❤️❤️”
“This place never dissapoints. I had the spam and rice this time. I opted for comfort food.But I look over and a guy was enveloping something good of off what looked like soft taco from a sizzling plate! Smelled sooo good.....”
“incredibly charming and spotless coffee shop with lots of seating and spotless washroom. Every specialty drink that was served to our group was a hit. If you're in Old Town Temecula, you should definitely check them out.”
“This is a wonderful frozen yogurt stop! Michael was on shift and was helpful, professional and friendly! Great flavors and toppings available, and the ambiance of the store was uplifting. Thank you for being such a great team member Michael!”

“I brought my friend here the night before she got married , she absolutely loved it and I was able to introduce their tasty Pink dragon fruit smoke margarita...it is soooo good it reminds us of going camping with the mesquite smoke flavor..loved it..the waiter was so friendly and awesome . I recommend this location to anyone.Parking: PlentyWheelchair accessibility: Very accessible.”
“Went here for my sisters rehearsal dinner, and it was AMAZING. as always their food was fantastic, their cowgirl kisses are to die for! we got a great spot in the restaurant, they even were nice enough to let up put some decorations down for the dinner. It was perfect, service was stellar as always! Highly recommend! I don't think theres a bad item on the menu everything is fantastic!”
“Great spot to grab a meal after drowning yourself in grape juice at the wineries. They have very spacious indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered a ton of food but the favorites were the paella and the fried calamari. I do recommend the kids meals for your small ones because it comes in a nice little bento. Ample parking too.”
“I have so many good things to say about this Winery. My husband and I are having an upcoming 10 year Anniversary party, and every staff member that I have spoken has been so kind. Their event coordinator , Ann Manning , is fabulous and she truly has gone above and beyond. I have spoken to Marcus, Rachel and Shawn, who have just been so nice. I highly recommend Maurice Carrie Winery if you are planning an event. My husband and I are so excited for our event.”
“We sat at the bar and got a sushi combo that came with 7 piece chef choice assorted sushi. Also got Salmon Carpaccio and a bunch of hand rolls:* Salmon Hand Roll* Spicy scallops hand roll* bluefin spicy tuna hand roll* Soft Shell Crab Hand RollEnded up getting another bluefin spicy tuna which is at market price.Everything tasted so fresh and tasty. I wanted to order more but we were heading to a party.They offer omakase for $130 per person for 17 course! What a deal!Sitting at the bar is a must if you order hand rolls so that you can eat it as soon as it comes out to get that freshness and crispiness from the seaweed.Plenty of parking in this plaza. They offer so many specials straight from Japan. Not many places have amberjack but it was sold out. They close Sunday and Monday so inventory will sell out by the end of the week.”
“Really great location, cute ambiance. We went here for a pre-wedding brunch the day before my sister's wedding and it was perfect for bloody mary's and mimosas! The spicy bloody mary I ordered was so good, bartender did an awesome job! He was also our server, and he was fantastic, great service! We ordered the nachos to share and fries to snack on and both were delicious! Highly recommend, we will for sure be back!”
“Absolutely stunning! I will say there is better wine at some of the other wineries, but this is definitely one of my favorites overall. Whenever I'm in Temecula, I make sure to visit here.”
“My now wife and I had our intimate rehearsal dinner at The Nook and it couldn’t have had a better time! Kelly and the whole team were wonderful to work with and everyone had a fantastic time. Everything was easy to plan and we felt really taken care of. Our group was a little smaller (about 20 people), but we were able to rework the menu and serving style so it made the evening feel intimate and special. If you’re looking for a cute little spot to host your gathering, this is it!”

“I absolutely love this beautiful winery! I also love the member perks! I feel I get an education on the wines with each tasting! Madison, and Mary are awesome teachers! I love the reds, and HIGHLY recommend you try a taste of the 2017 Petite Sirah Reserve as well as the double gold metle 2019 Cabernet Franc! The outside area has tables with umbrellas amidst a beautiful fountain overlooking the hills of vineyards!! A MUST TRY!!”
“Had the St Louis Ribs, BBQ Tritip Sandwich with fries and Fried Pickles as an appetizer. A must go to in Temecula for a very reasonable price. Our server Kristy was amazing and really made the whole experience pleasant.Once again, A MUST GO!!!!!”
“We had Bella as our server and she was FANTASTIC! Everything we ordered was perfect! Rack of lamb, artichoke appetizer, Halibut special... absolute perfection! Sat out on the patio and they turned in a heater right over our table. Definitely going to be back for more!”

“My husband and I are obsessed with Leoness! We come here all the time and the food is always good. Even certain dishes I typically wouldn't eat I eat here. They seriously make everything delicious!!”
“Had a wonderful time here! Beautiful view on their outdoor patio and love that it had heaters. We had Karen and she was so sweet and helpful for trying different wines that would enhance our tasting. This was the more expensive tasting we went to during our time in Temecula, at $28 per person. Didn't have any food, although you could purchase some from their fridge - wasn't homemade or anything. Such a beautiful and relaxing time! Will be going back when we visit again!”
“The food is ready good and the service was great. The menu was limited. If in doubt go for the Reuben sandwich with the homemade potato chips. A bit pricey but worth it.”

“We had lunch and it was great service was fast, and our server Pak was great told us about the special and had great recommendations. I would come back and eat here again.”
“Very exclusive, moderately priced wines that are almost all blended with certain thematic approach to wine made from four to seven different varieties of grapes that are boldly represented by the unique names attached to these interesting wines. I enjoyed the intimate setting of the beautiful vineyard and attentive service. The wine we tried were definitely delicious and different. The prices ranged from $75 - $190 per bottle. I liked Adam and Eve but several others liked NAPA Cabernet Sauvignon with $190 tag on it. I'm sure they were persuaded by the artificially inflated price tag!”

“After a few hours at the dog pool, my pups and I were welcomed to this winery with smiles and quick seating. Their increased menu options were a nice surprise. As a member, we enjoyed our glasses of wine with the bucatini plate and planned for our upcoming adventure after leaving the winery.”
“We visited Temecula as a weekend getaway from the desert and wanted a change of pace from the usual sea bass, filet, pork chop, salmon fare. Gourmet Italia was the perfect choice! We're from Chicago where Italian fare is abundant. The bolognese, sausage, fettucine, and lasagna were all delicious. Beautiful antipasto and desserts as well. Great wine list. Our waitress, Karolina, was excellent--and super attentive. We'll be back next year!”
“We visited Callaway for Thursday night Boots after Dark. They had a couple of wines and other drinks to choose from, which was fine. The live music was very good, and the line dance lessons were fun. Deducting one star because the company doing the BBQ was terrible. Only food choices were fries, chicken on a stick. I threw my chicken away because much of it was undercooked. So I recommend the event, just eat before you go.”
“The server was attentive. Lewis, the chef was fabulous. The food tasted amazing.5 of us were there so we made a reservation. My parents just celebrated their 54th anniversary so they brought a cake out and sang to them.We ordered the fillet mignon, shrimp, two teriyaki chickens and New York steak. The meals came with a ton of food. The fried rice and grilled veggies were very tasty. All the meats were cooked to perfection.The restaurant was clean.”
“Great wine and AMAZING service. We did a wine tasting for Valentine’s Day and we were lucky to have James as our guide! James was absolutely fantastic, he was hilarious and extremely knowledgeable and so kind. I would highly recommend this tasting to anyone! And if you get James as your guide you’re in for an extra great experience! The entire winery and cave is beautiful. Thank you Oak Mountain, we will certainly be back!”
“Been in Temecula Valley since 2009. Went to a few wineries. But recently we've been going to see musician friends at Lorimar and decided to join their wine club. Our 1st. Amazing experience at Lori Mar, from the staff, the facility, the wine, the entertainment, the food. It feels like family. A great savings to be a member.”
“Love this place! It’s a fun little tucked away spot and the beer is amazing! We’ve been to some really fun events here as well that we found out about from their Instagram. Service is always great, Corina and Kalyn are awesome batenders. My favorite beer right now is Elevation! Very yummy west coast pilsner. Highly recommend this spot! They have a great restaurant up in LA as well.”
“It was our first visit, and I must say the food, the sides, and the service were great! The ambiance was nice, a social setting, though we didn't get the robot experience, which I think was a must if you're there because, again, it's for the "experience"! I rated it four stars for being a little challenging to find the place. It's hidden in the back.”
“I came during lunch time and the service was great. Our waitress greeted us with a smile and was very attentive and friendly. Food was really tasty and fresh. We ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer and the tomatoes were well seasoned and the bread had great flavor and was toasted but still soft. I ordered their pizza and my son got the fried calzone. Both were amazing. The pizza dough wasn't too chewy and the fried calzone had great flavor. I'd recommend a side of sauce to go with the calzone.”
“I can’t speak to the actual location or the service as I ordered from Uber Eats, but the food was incredibly flavourful and as good as some of the food I’ve eating in Thailand.Would highly recommend for food. I look forward to coming back and eating at the restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Options can be made vegan”

They make tableside guac and it looked amazing, didn't try for ourselves but next time we will. Highly recommend okay yeah highly recommend for the best authentic campechano tacos!”
“Rachel J was very fun and attentive… The proprietor Alex introduced himself to us and bought us a dessert for our Anniversary which we appreciated. We will definitely be back.”
“Although typically busy for a Saturday night, the service was good without being bothersome, the food was very good for chain restaurant BBQ, and the overall dining experience was enjoyable.Parking: Lot or garage parking is available nearby. Parking is relatively easy to find except on weekends when the lot sees more use.”
“Came back here after few years, I am watching my diet and Mediterranean is well-known to be healthy for that guilt-free meal. This place has cute indoor seating but it became very smoky as they grilling up stuff in the kitchen, will sit outdoor next time. Food is really delicious, my husband got the Gyro plate while I had the Wild Salmon. Our waiter forgot our flat bread, but another guy with apron on who brought out our orders finally gave it. Overall, I will come back to try the other dishes.”
“Hands down our family’s favorite winery stay in Temecula. If you get lucky to wake up with balloons outside your window- it is an image you will never forget. Great pool and hot tub. Free shuttle across 2 sister hotels. Great service and good wine- what more would you ask for?”
“Never a miss with customer service here. They are always so friendly and the food is great. Today our son wanted teriyaki salmon for his birthday. When we ordered they told us they were out of the Teriyaki Salmon and only had sashimi grade salmon available. The chef offered to cook the sashimi salmon and it was a hit for our son. Food was great as always and we loved that they made every attempt to ensure we left happy. Love this spot.”
“Best winery in Temecula! I was greeted immediately upon entry and complimented on my outfit which was a great start to the day. we all enjoyed hanging out at this gorgeous spot with a nice grassy area to lay while the humans sipped on some wine. their favorite is the port and they always get a bottl”

Doffo Winery
“Visited this winery recently and was incredibly impressed. I was told the wines in Temecula, were getting better as I hadn't tasted there in over ten years, and I wasn't too impressed at the time. I'm older and wiser and after researching wineries I decided to check Doffo Wines out. I highly recommend you visit as there's so much variety you cannot miss here. You will have a great time and you will enjoy the wines along with the ambiance. They have the best chimichuri sauce and balsamic vinegar. Check this place out as fast as you can get there.”
“Chill fast service. They had a fryer down but, our service was faster than expected compared to the other restaurants in the area with a 2 hour wait. I got the wawahi burger. It was just the right size for ”

Sushi Camp
“Excellent place for sushi in Temecula.All the family members are sushi lovers and this place as won the place of one of the favorites. The right flavor mixture, freshness, quantity of food per entree, the service. One of the best sushi places we have been to. Highly recommend it. 4 people with a total tab of about $ 95 plus gratuity.”
“We love this place! It's an awesome alternative to unhealthy sugary snack for the kiddos. They love trying the different flavors of 'milkshakes' and more importantly I feel guilt free. Best part is no sugar crash after they enjoy their delicious treat!”
“Debbie is absolutely amazing. She's full of creative ideas, provides great advice based on her substantial years of experience, and will customize your dream cake with as much excitement as you bring to the table. She was such a pleasure to work with and the cake was not only delicious, but stunning as well. Also, after 3 days in the fridge the cake was still perfectly soft and moist.”
“My wife and I had not been to Macaroni Grill in years. Two months ago we stopped at the Temecula location for an early dinner. What a fantastic experience…! It was Wednesday, and bottles of wine are 1/2 price. Cheaper than 2 glasses. We each ordered a build your own pasta dish that were extraordinary. Super fresh, tasty & hot. The kitchen is visible and you get fresh hot bread & olive oil. We have now eaten there 3 times in the last two months. Cannot recommend this restaurant more highly.”
“What in the amazingness is happening at this Karl?I had 3 different waitstaff check on us if we needed anything. The bartender waving at us with a sweet "Bye, thank you!" as we were leaving... top notch attentive customer service. And of course, food is top-tier; get the seared ahi tuna salad!”
“Dining room is an elegant space. Great brunch and very convenient for hotel guests. Our server Cindy was knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. Very cheerful and very well versed in other aspects of the Ponte Inn and adjoining Ponte Winery. We enjoyed a beautiful beet salad and Angus beef burger. Both delicious. Afterwards we did a little scouting around the Inn for a planned staycation next month. Everywhere we went we were greeted politely by staff and asked if we could be helped in any way. We are members of the winery but not familiar with the Inn. Only wish they were open later, but they do have a cocktail bar downstairs with lite bites for evening visitors. Looking forward to our stay.”
“The place was really nice and quiet ! it’s a perfect place to study from what I saw with a few people with laptops and the food is even better. I got the Salmon and Ginger Sesame Chicken ones and they were delicious !! they even have a coffee place attached to the complex.”
“The food, atmosphere and drinks are really good. The overall experience was nice. The view is amazing! The only thing is you have to get up to order and they take a while to serve the food. But I will definitely go back, I really enjoyed it.”
“Bomb food spot in the mall…!!!! Man , this truly is a good place. I got a bacon cheese burger and some wings my wife and kids got the buffalo chicken fries that I nibbled on as well and all was top tier especially for being in the mall.. my kids are the harshest critics and they gave it 9-9.5 stars only cause it’s in the mall and nothing is perfect… Definitely coming back to try some other menu items that I wanted to get today”
“After a few hours at the dog pool, my pups and I were welcomed to this winery with smiles and quick seating. Their increased menu options were a nice surprise. As a member, we enjoyed our glasses of wine with the bucatini plate and planned for our upcoming adventure after leaving the winery.”

We can not wait to be back Kid-friendliness: We have four kids and our youngest is only two and they are always so accommodating with high chairs and boosters”
“This is a double review of Easter brunch at Pinnacle and wine tasting at Falkner. Easter brunch was delightful and the food was excellent. What impressed me the most was that they kept the buffet looking full and fresh.Afterwards we went wine tasting and Concetta was doing our pouring and educating about the different varieties. It was a great experience - she’s very knowledgeable and was able to help a non-wine expert like me find the right things to taste in a good order. My faves were the Lucious Lips White and Lucious Lips Red. We really enjoyed our afternoon at Falkner!”
“Great fresh groceries and hot ready to eat kabobs ! Great portions and friendly staff . If you’re looking for halal food in temecuela try this place out .

“My new favorite steakhouse! This is was my second time visiting the Great Oak with my friends and we continue to be impressed! The steaks are amazing and the desserts are delicious! It's a great place to celebrate a special occasion or a nice double date with friends. We will definitely comeback again soon.”
“We enjoyed a delightful breakfast in the courtyard of the restaurant, surrounded by tranquility and serenity. Our order included a breakfast wrap, Farmers breakfast, and lattes. As we savored the delicious meal, we engaged in pleasant conversation, complemented by the outstanding service provided by the waitstaff. The entire establishment is well-kept, contributing to the overall sense of calm and relaxation during our dining experience.”
“Jorge makes this place what it is, without him I'd never return. The food is awesome, quality is high, and price is fair. But I honestly believe if Jorge left that would all come to an end!”
“We ordered take out here twice now and everything have been delicious. It arrived quickly and was still fresh. I'm so happy to have this kind of place in town now instead of the usual fast food. We ordered: katsu bowl, Mediterranean bowl, chocolate mousse, and Thai chicken salad.”
“It feels always good whenever we eat there. Their new dish sample sushi platter with premium sushi is absolutely melting in mouth experience! The owner and waiter were so nice and care, the food was excellent and the price was very reasonable!!! I will definitely go back to fill my sushi satisfaction!”

The cafe
“Awesome! Exquisite. Culinary perfection. Unsolicited Celebrity Chef endorsement -- we were amazed by everything! An absolute 'must experience' when in Temecula. I cherish the rare moments when Amy and I discover gems -- exciting, classic, shops and restaurants that take our breath away. Le Coffee Shop is such a place as this. We learned of Le Coffee on Wednesday night -- we were so excited, we barely slept. We read their reviews, looked at their menu, and simply could not wait for morning to arrive so we could meet the French Chefs / owners and dive in on authentic French made croissants, omelets, and time together as a family all while enjoying coffee and great food. Next morning ... we arrived at Le Coffee Shop shortly after opening. Aromas of pastries and breads baking hung heavy in the air. It helped tilt the experience forward with the sights and smells of fresh roasted coffee awaiting us at the coffee bar. I ordered a classic croissant with a coffee, Ames ordered an almond croissant, coffee and we agreed to share a cheddar, bacon and caramelized onion omelet. HF! Absolute and total perfection -- service, quality of food ingredients, aromas, and the flavor profiles -- total French perfection.”
“First time here, and the food and service were amazing. I had the BBQ ribs tasty and tender. We also had the parmesan crusted spinach dip, and OMG was it yummy. The woman had a steak and said that it was probably the most tender tasty steak that she's ever had. She always uses steak sauce and doesn't need it for this one.”
“I did not eat in. I got take out. The price is a bit higher than panda express for sure. I ordered Crispy Tangerine chicken. It was 14.99. So it was a bit steep however it does come with a side of rice. I thought before I received it that the price was high. However, after receiving my food I could completely say that the portions were really big. If I didn't have a big appetite it could definitely have been enough for 2 people. That would be the crispy Tangerine chicken alone. If you include the side of white rice. It's a complete meal. And if you're ordering it just for you're self then you'll have leftovers. Soo I highly recommend it. Yes, they only have 10 stars so it was a gamble. However, the food was delicious would go again. I will add been craving some good Chinese food and this right here hit the spot 100000%”

What a wonderful dining experience at Mantra.....hats off to the staff & the chef/s!”

Hana Sushi
“Having moved from Maui I was afraid of not finding any quality sushi in Temecula. Hana Sushi proved me wrong. They serve quality fish that is almost as good as being in Hawaii. And they serve my favorite: unagi (served as a Dragon Roll). Highly recommended.”

“Quaint spot. There was lice entertainment when we went. They allow you to bring snacks or even your meal since they don't serve food. Double check before though.”
“Very charming, so happy we were able to visit. Good wine. Nice service. if you buy a bottle of wine, you can drink it in their picnic area with your own food.. They do have meat and cheese hors d'oeuvres in the refrigerator. Affordable support the smaller wineries.”
“I know they have these all over. I ordered this for a party I had the tri-tip chicken and the jalapeno sausage. the tri-tip was the best and went fastest. I thought the chicken was very good and the jalapeno sausage is good a little too hot for me. it's not cheap but it's really good”
“Amazing pizza, customer service, sweet atmosphere, and lastly good taste to music! Always look forward to eating here while my car is getting taken care of next ”
“I come here often, I was introduced to this restaurant by a friend. I love the atmosphere, the people. The customer service is excellent the prices are great in this economy.”
“Bry is the best bartender ever! i will be coming here for the rest of my time in this area! she really brings the best vibe to the bar and adds to the ambiance! good drinks good vibes!”

“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.”
Latest Reviews
“I love this place and go a few times monthly. Order always comes out quicker than they say it will. The portions are good and I usually end up getting a few extra wings! Recently it's been cleaner inside as well.”
“We went on a Sunday, it was our first time in Temecula, we were actually viewing venues in the area and had no clue what to expect. The town is really busy so it was understandable that service was slow but the waitress we had was kind and helped correct mistakes of the kitchen. The poached eggs my husband got for his Benny were over done, the second time one of the poached eggs was under the other was over done. The Benedict my husband had was bland and the potatoes were way under seasoned. Honey garlic fries were flavored well but were cold with the sandwich. The atmosphere was nice, music was great, drinks were good.”
“While visiting Temecula for our anniversary, my husband and I enjoyed a lovely lunch on the patio. Lovely setting, wonderful live music and great service from Marla (who has worked there 23 yrs!). We shared the grilled chicken sandwich - it was delicious and full of flavor. Highly recommend!”
“First time here with a good friend and a girls' night dinner. We were excited to have sushi. We started with a Jalapeño bomb. It was awesome. We then ordered 3 additional rolls, tempura shrimp and veggies, and shrimp boats. We enjoyed most of it. The baked roll we got wasn't our favorite, but that's not to say it wasn't good for those who enjoy baked rolls. Our original waitress that seated us was sweet. I wish I got her name. She offered us assistance whe. Looking for details on the food/rolls. There were no pictures showing the food on the menus given to us, but she directed us to a qr code that brought up a menu on our phone. This helped. We ended up ordering one additional roll and were enjoying it and our conversation. Seems they wanted us to depart though and hovered over the table asking if we were ready for our bill. We were thinking about possibly getting 1 or 2 more, but felt a bit rushed and as though they wanted our table back. We decided to get the bill a d depart to a new location for the rest of the night.”
“Purchased several different kinds of sweets here while on vacation from the East Coast. Friends loved the salt water taffy I gave them! Very good customer service. Highly recommend.”
“The new owner did a really great job revamping this place, it's really well done! The addition of the sandwiches is wonderful, one stop for your favorite drink and a bite to eat! Must try!”
“Service was great until I turned the banana slices over and saw the bug...I was contacted by the manager very quickly after this and received a full refund within a day or two. Excellant customer service.”
“Selling points are:1) super flexible and aware of dietary restrictions2) totally NAIL the spice levels. Me and my partner both thought the levels we ordered were super duper accurate3) food is subtly perfect, it's not doused in flavor is like crafted to perfection with the veggies being cooked just right and a little crunch.4) nice server nice decor and relaxed atmosphere.10/5 if I could”
“Went here for the first time with my boyfriend on the Super Bowl and wow were we blown away. We go the Garlic Knots and PINEAPPLE CHICKEN LUAU pizza. Everything was so delicious! I love how many appetizer options they had! I will definitely be back it was all so yummy. The prices aren't the cheapest but the food was good so what can I say. Place was also very clean with lots of tvs all around.”
“Had the best time ever my boyfriend found the restaurant.. I must say the food is delicious, from the ceviche to the seafood and Spanish chorizo paella so GOOD!!! Thank you Tammy for the recommendations they were great and your service is absolutely amazing.. we'll be back again !!!”
“food was amazing. service was great very attentive although there was only two other tables there. "ambiance" was lacking but it was a nice place overall.”
“Love Mochinut and I'm so happy there's one closer to where I live now. Always a great variety and super filling. They give out samples sometimes and I was happy to try the plain unglazed, really yummy if you don't want too much sugar.”

“Easter Sunday came and we found ourselves looking for a place to eat. I find myself have never been to this restaurant. I heard it was very good. Buttery and delicious. Unlike some of the reviews that have come from this place, many people were being harsh. I felt like the place was given at bad wrap. Well, I was very much taken back to how heartwarming the people .”
“Came here for gluten free options, but they only take away sauces, which leaves you with a very plain dish. No gluten free bread option as should be expected at a high-end restaurant when bringing a bread bowl for others at the table. My husband did enjoy the bread, he doesn't require GF. Drinks were great! Amazing presentation on Old Fashion with a great smoke flavor. Blood orange Margarita was great, and I'm picky. 2 different gluten free dessert options Creme Brule or Smore Brownie. They make the whole brownie and Graham cracker crumbs in house and guaranteed truly GF. Brownie was delicious and definitely recommended.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free”
“After a long busy day, my son and I wanted a treat. Phil's BBQ is consistently delicious and serves generous portions. I had the rib tickler, and my son had the loaded fries with tri-tip. We each also got a sausage link. There are no pictures to post because we dove in as soon as I got home and are now in a food coma! ??”
“Love this place.Try to go there often.Food is great people are greatParking: There's about 50 parking spots.No problem parking even during the busy time.Kid-friendliness: Always kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchairs.”
“Best Buffet in town all the way through San Diego. Nobody can beat their prices. Can't stop myself from coming here and eating all day long. Absolutely delicious food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.”
“Great experience had some family in from out of town. Really liked the food and focus on quality vs quantity on the buffet. Fish, Ham and Prime Rib were of same quality as any high end restaurant. Execution was spot on. And a properly cooked, fundamentally sound omelette nice and bright yellow with no color. Entertainment was good as well and service was outstanding. Smallwares, decor and and buffet set up could use a little updating felt a little “institutional” for the price but considering they had to move everything inside due to rain, they did a good job adapting. Would definitely come back.”
“What a fab evening! Came to watch the band John Dutch and had dinner with my family of five. We had the perfect evening right from the gals at the host stand who took care of us and seated us graciously ...and JOSH was such a doll, waited on us with perfect service! Thank you Public House!”
“My new favorite restaurant!!! Our server Liz was the bomb. She remembered us from last time and also the environment is the t right in downtown Temecula also the food was delicious ? ???”
“My old mate and I had the inestimable pleasure of dining at this famed establishment, and the privilege of having the lovely Ashley as our server. Our meals were damn tasty, and the berry cobbler was delicious… we’ll be back????”
“First visit to this location in Temecula since it opened. A good addition to Temecula. If you want to spice it up with chicken, come here to this spot.Parking: Parking isn't the best at the facility. McDonalds, DQ, Stater Bro's are all in the same area, gets pretty busy.”
“Food was great as always, but service by Natalie or Nataly, however she may spell it haha, her service was amazing and she was very attentive to my table all night we were ”
“Travis was our exceptional server and steered us to the right food and wine. The Sea Bass and Filet were delicious. We didn't have time for a full tasting but really enjoyed our late lunch.”
“I like the tea-presoso jasmine green tea with boba. The employees are helpful with choosing what to order. They also have rose milk tea which some other boba places don’t carry.”
“Everything about Red Pine is worth 5 stars. Every single time I have gone here to eat, I have left feeling satisfied. To start, customer service is clearly a priority. Derrick, the owner, is up front most of the time interacting with his customers and making food himself. I have come to think of him as a friend after all of our fun conversations. Just recently I came in totally hungry and worn out, and he gave me a bit extra and made an effort to lighten my mood (literally reset the tone of my day). Beyond service, his food is healthy and delicious. He uses fresh ingredients that him and his staff prep each day-- you can taste the difference. While it may seem a bit pricey at first, the portion size and quality make the food well worth it. The drink menu also has great variety; my favorites are the Vietnamese coffee and pomegranate refresher. I would say the Vietnamese coffee has a similar caffeine level to a Starbucks cold brew. Red Pine is a casual and clean place with comfortable indoor seating and ample outdoor seating. Overall it has a nice ambience and is really clean. I have come by to study and just hang out from time to time and it was pleasant. Im pretty sure the back seating area is near an outlet”
“Tuscan Chicken Panini is heavenly! So delicious! Focaccia,pesto,mozzarella,tomato and chicken….hot and yummy! Worth the visit every time! Also, don’t forget to pick up a fresh cinnamon burst loaf, it’s really good used in a French toast casserole. I just love this place!”
“Delicious food! And great service! It's lively and such a fun experience, great for families with young kids. The free play on the arcade games is so much fun! The food is top notch”
