“A Hidden Gem in Temecula
If you're looking for a breakfast spot that hits all the right notes; flavor, hospitality, and charm; Mo’s Egg House is it. I ordered the steak and eggs, and let me tell you: mouthwatering doesn’t even begin to describe it. The steak was perfectly cooked, the eggs just the way I like them, and the whole plate felt like a hug from the kitchen.
Before your meal even arrives, they surprise you with a homemade sweet cake that’s so good, it could be dessert all on its own. It’s a small touch, but it sets the tone for the kind of care and warmth this place puts into everything.
Their menu is stacked with delicious options, and honestly, you can’t go wrong. Whether you're craving a hearty breakfast, a cozy brunch, or a satisfying lunch, Mo’s delivers every time.
And here’s the best part: you don’t have to trek into Old Town Temecula to find a great meal. Mo’s Egg House is proof that incredible food and friendly vibes are just around the corner. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by. You won’t be disappointed.“

“I LOVE this winery. I especially love photographing weddings here! #lomonico approved🤌🏼 @lomonicophotography“

“Really really enjoyed our time here! We’ve been a few times now, and I will definitely consider this a “go-to” place for an easy, quick, delicious bite to eat.
I would highly recommend the tortilla soup, any burger, chicken sandwich, and the fish tacos. Service was smooth and respectful. Food came out hot and correct.
Lots of brews to choose from as well. If you’re into ciders, they have those as well. Super impressed and grateful for the clean location and kind staff.
Looking forward to the next time!
Side note: they have a clean patio that is dog-friendly!“

“We love Annie’s and eat there often. My 6 year old son just said his grandma is the best cook he knows… then he quickly changed it to “Well, second best, compared to Annie’s. Their gluten free pancakes are like biting into heaven” We appreciate all the gluten free options and love the atmosphere.“

“Omg tea here is so good... Good customer service too ! Will visit everyday ^^“

“Staff was very nice, food is convenient but pricy; just wanted some chicken fingers for the kids. Ended up having a taco salad and was really surprised by the quality. Needs a remodel and some ownership investment. Just dull but I’d go back“

“Charming outdoor seating, great music and excellent Asian dinner salad yummy! Great service as well ,thank you Carol’s Restaurant ! ?“

“From 1st bite of lmy medium rare burger, to the plentiful salt encrusted sweet potato fries...perfection in a mouth watering way. The sauce for the fries were too salty, but the poppy seed dressing made up for it. The salad was tangy fresh strawberries and candied almonds....yummy and filling, like serious yum.“

“🙂👍 Kimberly does a great job!“

“This is one of the best decisions I have made. I had been very sketchy about credit repair. I thought it was a big lie and always had bad impressions and said negative comments, but my doubt was cleared when my friend Jolene recommended Metronet Credit Solution. A team of experienced credit experts that are always on standby to help. I them about my predicament and they promised to help. Within 11days they removed all negative accounts and cleared every negative item from all three credit-reporting bureaus, (TransUnion, Experian and Equifax) and raised my credit score to 790’s from the initial 589 and also added some positive trade line. I’ve got my new car thanks to the team at metronet for helping me qualify for an auto loan. I highly recommend metronet for any credit related issues. You can reach them on +12055183032 .“

“Friendly, welcoming atmosphere and staff - along with good of wines.“

“First impression wasn't that great. The owner at my first perception was impatient with me as I entered the restaurant and sat in an open booth vice a table. I had my kid in tow and did not want to deal with the hustle of a large chain. I had to be somewhere and this was on my way. Never judge hastily. This was the best food brunch I've had and he was so kind to have his kitchen make a Mikey pancake for my kid. It was very kind and I'll be coming back frequently. Recommend recommend recommend“

“They are so nice! I loved going in and chatting with the owners. They made sure I knew what I was getting and offered me some samples to taste. Everything was so good it was hard to choose what to get! The place was very clean and inviting. The food is delicious and great portions. We ended up sharing everything so we could try it all. I would highly recommend checking out this place. Everything was fresh and made exactly how I asked for it. We will definitely be back!“

“We had an exceptional dining experience. Joshua our bartender, Mark our waiter made our experience a wonderful memory. The supporting staff within the restaurant was exceptional as well. And the chef who cooked our filets was masterful presenting one medium rare filet, and one medium filet. Exceptional.“

“Yard house never fails to disappoint me! I like the Irvine, Riverside, Pasadena locations, the Temecula location is amazing as well! Unfortunately Temecula is packed with people during Christmas and NYs period, it's literally impossible to get a reservation during that time period.“

“Consistent quality, everything is delicious! Best Shrimp and Grits ever, as well as the Crab cakes Benedict. The Murrieta location is outstanding!“

“We have never dined at a Black angus, but we were pleasantly surprised with Happy hour snacks before dinner. We ordered rib eye steaks with mushroom. Baked potato and Broccoli . 2 for dinner was a terrific value. Service was over the top from start to finish! Enjoyed celebrating a birthday, time was 5pm and perfect since we had small children.“

“Everyone here was very friendly and welcoming. There is lots of seating inside and out. Place was clean and the beer was delicious. Will definitely be returning since they have a Hefeweizen and they are hard to find. They are dog friendly if you have a dog and want to come with them.“

“Fantastic food, service and music by Diego Mondragon.“

“Great Starters…Enjoyed the hot wings, pretzel dippers and the Cali flatbread. The Great provider is yummy. The ambience and our waiter Jake was great. Great time with my handsome Son“

“Wont rate the wine due to subjective nature, but the meat & cheese board had a surprisingly wide variety of great meats, cheeses, and fruits!

Live music on a Saturday afternoon consisted of Diego... a solo violinist who was phenomenally good.

Staff are great and helpful.

The atmosphere was great as the patio seating was surrounded with grape-laden vines!

We opted for the horse-drawn carriage ride from the neighboring vinyard, which really made it a great day ( the weather was 84 at 12pm).“

“This was a lovely bistro type restaurant and the vegan options were spectacular. Doug was especially helpful and went out of his way to answer questions. The vegan burrito and almond butter pancakes. Top notch! Best burrito I’ve had in my recent memory.“

“It is a great place for traditional Irish food and fresh Guinness. We go in on Wednesday nights for the prime rib special. My sweetheart has the corned beef and cabbage. I have the end cut prime rib and it’s a delicious meal along with the Guinness.“

“Great food and great service.“

“great response time and amazing customer service“

“What a lovely Easter brunch! Good variety of delicious foods, reasonably priced, excellent and friendly service. Go and experience it yourself!“

“My Pesto and Sun Dried Tomato Sandwhich was soooo good. (I added avocado. Bread was fresh and delicious. Definitely ordering again.“

“Denise is so amazing. She is a wonderful manager. She knows her stuff. I am so happy I found this place. Has great food. Good workers. Is one of the best breakfast in our area by far!!!“

“We will be back for sure! 😉“

“Delicious food I got the catfish plate with hush puppies and the fries were really crispy I recommend the single portion for the fish instead of the double fish I ended up getting full with one piece kids loved their food as well waiter was very attentive and helpful we ate inside since it was hot but there is out door sitting well be going back hopefully soon!“

“Very cozy and Travis makes you feel welcome“

“Great food and great service“

“We had such a nice experience last night. We arrived late and are staying at a different hotel that requires reservations for dinner. We found this place which was right next to our hotel/resort and it was the best. Great food and service was exceptional. They have a happy hour and they were very accomodating. It’s a stark difference to some of the other wineries which are not kid-friendly and a bit rude. I definitely recommend it for dinner if you are in Temecula and have a little one.“

“I'm a member here at the Alano club and I have to say that if your trying to get real recovery this is the place for you. Absolutely love this place and all the people who come here. The Noon AA meetings are fantastic and also the NA meetings as well. If your new to the area and looking for meetings this is the place for you.“

“Denise is so amazing. She is a wonderful manager. She knows her stuff. I am so happy I found this place. Has great food. Good workers. Is one of the best breakfast in our area by far!!!“

“We went here for lunch on a super hot day and I am so glad I thought to book it!

The Cave Restaurant is a really cool place. It's tucked away in a tunnel so it's nice and cool. All of the barrels make it feel unique, as though your party is the only one in the room. I liked that privacy! Care was taken in how things were presented (I loved the tasting trees) and the staff were really lovely. Our waiter was super friendly and made our experience special with his conversation and his recommendations.

The wines were great (obviously). I loved the sparkling pineapple. It was just a shame that they were out of several wines on the menu!

When it came to food, we only tried two dishes (the ahi salad and the club sandwich). The ahi salad was delicious, though quite small for the price. I like small so that didn't bother me. My husband's sandwich was also nice- not too toasted and fresh with a side salad. The desserts looked incredible but we didn't have space for one! I'd return for one...

Just one note: I'd have preferred not to see plastic carts being pushed around with all the plates on (esp dirty ones) because that wasn't as classy as everything else.“

“We were staying next to a neighboring winery, but after some unpleasant experiences with their restaurant staff, we decided to give Bouquet Restaurant & Bar at Ponte Vineyard Inn a try. It turned out to be the best decision we could have made.

From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, friendly, and efficient. Food was excellent, came out quickly, and the servers were consistently polite and attentive. We didn’t even need a reservation—just walked in and were seated right away.

The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant, making it perfect for breakfast or brunch. It’s also very family-friendly, which made our experience even better. This place truly knows how to make guests feel welcome, and it’s now our go-to spot in Temecula.“

“Great place to pickup your donut, coffee and go!. I prefer this place any time than a gas station. The price is affordable, got myself 2 delicious donuts and a coffee for $6 can’t beat that.

If you care for business look then go to Dunkin’ Donuts and pay $15.“

“Celebrated my birthday with friends. We had a reservation, but frankly, the place was deserted on a Monday afternoon. They closed the Cafe Restaurant and seated us instead up on the patio outside the gift shop. It was a nice enough area. Our server was nice and knew the menu well. The champagne and wine flights were fun. The beverages were good. Two of us had the beef short rib in red wine sauce. Mashed potatoes and some young veggies were included. Very tasty meal. The saucer was really good and the beef was very tender, although a bit dry. The other entree was a beautiful serving of fresh salmon with a white sauce. Came with the same potatoes and veggies. My friend ate the whole portion. She said it was so very good. We had two desserts - Death by Chocolate cake and caramel bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. Both were good. We enjoyed being outdoors in beautiful Temecula and had a really nice lunch.“
