Great food. With the economy, prices have gotten higher and portions have gotten smaller over time.

All of the food is delicious. Come back every so often, the Mole Enchiladas are always good, and the pambazo too.

Terrible food and terrible servings and terrible prices. Coffee comes pre sweetened. Menudo was a few pieces of fat floating in red water.

I came here for my birthday and everything was perfect. The meal started with chips that had beans drizzled over them, plus red and green salsas. The red had great heat and flavor, while the green was milder with wonderful taste.

I ordered the chile relleno plate with a side of chopped carne asada. The meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The chile relleno was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of cheese. I chose the mole sauce, and let me tell you—the mole was incredible. I couldn’t get enough of it, and it paired perfectly with every bite.

My family also loved their meals. My wife especially raved about her chicken mole.

We will definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu!

Enchiladas de pollo con mole (chicken enchiladas) and tlayuda

We just moved to Temecula and have been looking for authentic Mexican food. My girlfriend and I ordered the chile verde plate and a tlayuda. The food tasted pretty good. My only feedback is for the tlayuda, it lacks some meat, but very tasty. The chile verde was good, but no spiciness to the chile, and I would've liked some more meat considering the prices here.

I’ve been coming to this place for a long time, not only their food is amazing but their customer service is fantastic. I hardly put reviews on google but honestly this family owned restaurant is amazing. Brought my company over to eat and they took care of us like no other restaurant has. Very humble hard working people. Will be coming often for business meetings!

This place is a bit hidden, but once you notice it you will not regret it. The food is delicious. I will dare say better than most places. They offer a variety of Mexican (Oaxacan style) foods. They have an inside bar and outdoor table service. The inside gives you an out of country experience (Im exaggerating). Only thing is one of the day time servers (Won't say her name even if I remembered) seems a bit shut off. Meaning she serves food with no enthusiasm or motivation to even try.

First time my husband and I tried this place. We were craving menudo this morning. The broth was flavorful, NO HOMINY, the sides were wilted and old, the tortillas were stale, and for the first time, I found a tumor in my soup. Uuuggghhh!!! Sorry Carmen, maybe check it he meat first.

This place is incredible 😍😍 yeah not kidding really good food. Service was great speedy and attentive. Got 3 different Tacos birra, carne asada and al pastor ( marinated pork ). The birra taco wasn't accompanied with consome but whatever it was still good 3rd place, carne asada was delicious 2nd place but al pastor was the best taco 🌮 very tender 1st. That being said I also had a grilled chicken tostada with generous portion of beans sour cream, cheese and lettuce that blew the tacos away and was my favorite. No one at the table was disappointed in their meals. Definitely coming back.

I ordered a California burrito for pick up and it was the worst burrito I’ve ever had. Barely any chicken. It was filled mostly with guacamole that tasted very old. I asked for extra crispy fries and they were cold. I couldn’t even eat my burrito and had to go buy something else. The staff member that took my order said it would be ready in 15. I got there and had to wait an extra 10 minutes for a burrito that ended up tasting awful. I’ve been to this place before and had their mole and it was very good so I’m very disappointed in my last order I picked up. I don’t understand how they could serve really old guacamole to their customers.
