The service is great! The chips and salsa are amazing. I can tell that the food is made fresh in house. We plan to come back again and try some more food. Our family got the chile verde burrito (salty and delicious), the carne asada steak (salty and delicious), shrimp enchiladas and two tacos combination (potato and carnitas). We also got a spicy michelada (very good), mango marg (small in size, but tasty) and regular Michelada.

The food was great. We ended up here because Goat and vine was a 1.5 hour wait. Margaritas looked great but will have to come back for one. The service was ok not great

Wanted to try a different restaurant in Old Town and was not disappointed. The food and service were amazing. My friend and I's server Nathan was very attentive and always checked up on us. The restaurant itself was very fine and is definitely one of my favorites in Old Town. Will definitely be coming back soon!

Let me just say that the bartender was the best bartender I have ever had. We came on a Thursday night and the service was wonderful! All of the young workers were doing such a great job. The young man behind the bar was a ray of sunshine, I think he said his name was Nathan. The food was delicious, the drinks were great. Overall vibe was super fun. Can't wait to go back real soon!

So.. after the first time we came here the food and ambiance was amazing. .. service was really good. Our server was so tentative and on it. Drink coming out. I had an iced tea. My friend had a margarita and she liked it a lot. . That was about maybe January 2024. I would have given 4/4 stars.. but Not this time. He we are end of February and the server was terrible. We wait 30 min to be given any drinks and for out food to be ordered. Not to mention the huge orders being ordered by the city and demanding it be read by 11:45 am.. while we sit and be ignored I'm about to have a major sugar drop with my Pregnancy diabetes.. and I'm about to walk out. Server finally comes to take out order. She's obviously overwhelmed... the music is way to loud. There bartender was LATE.. and not like I can drink but I waited 35 min for an iced tea. And about 10 min for a side of sugar .. I ordered 8 tacos for tacos Tuesday the carne asada was terrible. Absolutely DRY AS sh**. No flavor. Super disappointed and we even told the server and she could have said let me take it off your order. Nope we still had to pay and we didn't even eat them.. These girls don't know how to serve or sense we're so disappointed and probably won't return. The carnitas tacos were good.. not as dry. But the toppings for $3.50 is just the salty garbage salsa.. no other authentic toppings. And two itty bitty slices of carrots and 2 limes.. cmon now.. you guys need to do better in presentation. And for the salsa- which we also had to send back because 1. My self and my friend both have high risk in high blood pressure and I'm pregnant and that stuff made me blow up like a ballon. It was horrible. We even asked if they had a new chef it was that bad. Then the girl comes back with fresh salsa which was completely different and it was more spicier but less salty. I don't know if you guys have a specific recipe but just throwing whatever in and calling it. Salsa is not salsa. I expect consistency with a place like this. But yeah it was funkyyyyy. I wish I had taken a photo but I think this disappointment of me not taking a photo is enough.. I'd like to not remember that meal..

I came to try this place out. The food was excellent. When they handed me their credit card handheld for payment the waitress had added her own tip. I was going to leave cash, so I did not select it myself. I looked at the receipt and realized she paid herself. This act alone will keep me from return. Unethical, unprofessional and illegal.

The margaritas here are so good. The tamarindo one is my favorite. I’ve never tried the food I only go here for this margarita but the chips and salsa are good.

We came in because the wait at Goat & Vine was an hour. Glad we did because the food is really good. Prices are on the high side $20 for 3 Taquitos but the rice and beans are delicious and the taquitos were stuffed full of delicious pork. They also have chicken and beef. They need to do something about the acoustics, the lower level had a couple large groups and the super high ceilings make for a noisy space to have a conversation.

Service is extremely slow! The food sits out while the rest of your party's food is being prepared, not under heat lamps, so the first plates get cold while the rest is being cooked. Our friend ordered the nachos, they were COLD! So they "reheated" them for her which caused them to taste unpleasant. The fajitas weren't bad. I would go back for the chile verde tacos for sure!!!! The handmade corn tortillas were delicious!!!!!!!!!!!! Waitress was super sweet.

The only true Mexican food in Temecula. Home made tortillas, tender meats and flavors. Plus they use fresh squeezed juices for the delicious cocktails! If you are looking for authentic food, amazing drinks and really good service, you have to try Margarita's.

The food here is absolutely delicious Mexican food! With its rich and flavorful sauces in authentic dishes, and quality ingredients! This is what food prepared with a desire to present excellence tastes like!!! This will be our go to place from now on!
