Ribeye Guacamole!
Jizelle O.

Wow, the steak here is amazing! The Ribeye Guacamole w/ Chips and Cowboy Cut & Lobster was so good. The meat was ordered medium and cooked to perfection. The ribeye in the guacamole appetizer literally melts in your mouth and is not what you'd expect, especially since it is fried but I could eat an entire plate of just this OMG. Honestly the lobster tail was just okay but the steak was on point. The pasta was good too. Pricey dinner but worth it! I'd definitely come back again and I've heard their brunch food is good too!

Another adventure for us and another satisfying outing, this time to the Blacksone Kitchen Corona. It is a modern fusion of American & Latin America cuisine. It was a hard decision for me to choose between the Short rib omelette, Benedict flight, or Chilaquiles. In the end, I went with chilaquiles with pork belly and it was definitely a winner. My friend ordered the spaghetti pancakes with bacon. It was served in a bowl, a total surprise to both of us. Lots of fruits topped with a mint. I felt a good vibe when I first walked in. Service was great. Food is tasty. As expected, they have a constant stream of customers coming in. This place is keeper.

Blackstone really surprised me... initially we thought it was a take on an American food but we were led to a completely different experience. The Hispanic flair of this restaurant makes me excited to go back and experience more. The Vibe: of the restaurant is rustic, with foliage, wonderful decor, great lighting and art on the wall. They set a wonderful tone for a nice evening out with family or a nice date. Plenty of seating and even some just at the bar if you're in for a quick drink. The service: Jesus was our host and honestly we were very grateful for him. He brought in good suggestions, we let him know what we were debating on and he narrowed it out for us. He was wonderful in simple conversation checked in often and made sure we enjoyed everything. You would get 5 stars on his service alone. The food: There was not one dish we did not like from the appetizers, to the sauces that came with the chips, THE MOLE!!! I had the Branzino with the salad and it was amazing, the crispy skin, the seasoning was just on point. My Wife got the file braised short ribs and she does not usually finish her food and she cleaned her plate. She shared some with me and it was perfect!! We also got a side of mushrooms and they were amazing. My mother in law got the chicken Belagio, and she loved it. I had a taste of hers as well and the chicken was really good and tender even when fried. We usually don't get dessert when we get appetizers but we had to give it a go. The tres leches was pretty delicious, a little dry in parts but I did enjoy it. Overall Blackstone was a wonderful experience, when you have great service and a wonderful play on flavors you get the CJAC

Scallops at Blackstone
Lorraine B.

Dinner this evening was great! Outside patio dining, dog friendly was a huge plus! I had the scallops with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The scallops were cooked nicely and seasoned well. The sauce that accompanied the scallops was fantastic! The asparagus was good, the mashed potatoes were okay. We also had the carne asada and shrimp, with rice and beans. Both the shrimp and carne asada were good, the rice and beans were okay. The service was good, our server was very helpful in recommending favorites. I was disappointed that they did not have blended mixed drinks. Parking is adjacent to the restaurant.

Food is delicious. I ordered the mascarpone French toast and steak and eggs for breakfast! The steak and eggs were amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly. The mascarpone pancakes were absolutely delicious. I loved every bite of my breakfast today! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the price. The food was excellent, but it felt a little overpriced for the portion sizes. We'd definitely come back, just maybe not as often because of the cost. Service was nice! They were friendly.

Benedict Flight
Randi B.

Blackstone is right down the road from my parents house, they have been multiple times and have enjoyed breakfast, lunch, and dinner here - they said it's one of their favorite places to dine at. I had breakfast with them this weekend and it was an excellent meal! The decor is dark and modern, the seating is super comfy, and the service was fast and friendly. I had the Benedict Flight and it was delicious! I finished the Jalapeno, spinach, & tomato benedict, and only ate half of the other two so I could bring them home to my husband. Chipotle with bacon and ham was yummy, but my favorite was Tomatillo, pork belly, and avocado, SO freaking good! The potatoes on the side were crispy and seasoned to perfection. He reheated it all the next day for breakfast and said it was outstanding. My parents got their apple empanadas, I don't like cooked apples so it wasn't my jam, but they loved them. They also had the Meat Lover's Omelette and Ribeye Sandwich with truffle fries. All I tried were the fries and they were very good. They both loved their meals and I could tell the ribeye sandwich was super tender, my stepmom bit right through it with no issue, she took half home cause it was a very large sandwich. Total after tip was $150, which also included a Bloody Mary, iced tea, and Arnold Palmer. It's pricey, but well worth it for how good it was. I hope we eat here again when I visit them!

Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, and wonderful service! My friends ordered the lemon chicken and tacos, and I got to try a little of each--wow! Everything was packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. I'm already excited to come back and try more! Highly recommend

Overall, our dining experience was incredible. We enjoyed everything from our appetizer to our entrées and they were big portions. You will not leave feeling hungry. Our server he was young. I'm guessing probably just started. He wasn't a five star server, but he was definitely trying. I don't know if it was because it was just a little busy so it might've been overwhelming, but I had to ask for multiple things that should've been brought with our meals even so had the manager, bring me over a steak knife for my lobster as cutting it with a butter knife was just not gonna do it. The owner super sweet, very kind and very involved with his floor and staff he gives off a Bugzy Malone, kind of vibe we were here for a girls trip for my birthday. I'm not sure if they do anything for birthdays, but it was not celebrated at our time of dining/ or table. I truly enjoyed the sashimi appetizer the glaze was superb and if I ever find myself back in the area, I will definitely be heading up this restaurant again

Old fashion, fresh squeezed OJ, hibiscus mezcalita

You walk into blackout shades dark moody super chill vibes. The decor is very modern and the bar is the best feature of the restaurant...with the best bartenders! Alfonso gave us impeccable service - thank you Alfonso! The food was very delicious and perfectly seasoned. The drinks were refreshing to beat the pounding heat outside. The Benedict Flight and Biscuits & Gravy were very so good...definitely memorable. Loved this place...Highly recommended and will be back for sure!

Chef's Platter
Ricardo M.

Went to this spot yesterday for a double date. This place was absolutely amazing. Atmosphere 10/10 Lets get started with the amazing atmosphere. The decor and ambiance was very soothing and modern. The place was clean and organized. Definitely a great spot for a date. Food 9/10 Me and my girlfriend got the Apple empanadas and the chefs platter. The other party ordered a mole brisket dish and something that had gravy which I don't remember. The Apple empanadas was so good. It was like eating an hot apple pie with cinnamon on top and adding this milky sauce on top which melts in your mouth. So good! I loved the chefs platter which was $70 and it was enough for 2-3 people. The chefs platter contained chicken, steak, juicy plantain, chilaquiles, and homestyle potatoes. This dish was absolutely amazing and everything tasted great. Service 8/10 The service was good. Our waiter was always checking in on us and getting everything we needed in a timely matter. I would just recommend extra smiles haha.

Single Birthday Candle.
Ranissa G.

Food was good but the service was lack luster. Me & a group of friends went here recently for brunch to celebrate our friends birthday. When we told them and asked if they did something for birthdays they said yes. The came out with just a single candle in hand. No scoop of ice cream, or something simple as a plate that says happy birthday. Just a candle that she had to hold in her hand. For an establishment like this I expect more & I am disappointed. Please be aware if you are planning to spend your birthday here. DO NOT. I only hope this gets addressed.

Jalapeño shrimp enchiladas

Begin with the enchiladas; our rice and beans arrived later, separate from the entrée. The beans resemble Rosarito beans with a hint of spice, while the rice is quite bland, making the dish feel overly praised--the price is not quite right.

Dry waffles, no flavor and not crispy potatoes and salty meats
Pauline A.

Ooof. This made me sad. You can unfortunately cook better food overall at home. The waffle? Dry. You can tell they use pancake batter for it. The slam, good serving but those potatoes are poorly cooked. The meat are just eh. Nothing special what so ever. I wish they had actually listened when we said we need to leave at a certain time cause they took so long to take our order we had to flag them down and then the food took a while too. The service was okay overall. BUT the place is a vibe inside. It is quite dark so be prepared for that. Just pretty disappoint cause those prices for that quality of food was not it.

So I said "well I'm just asking for a status of my order." First of all, I wasn't even talking to Cas and she didn't even know what was going on before she took it upon herself to yell at me. Kila, which was the person I was talking to originally was extremely friendly. She apologized for the delay and even offered us some pastry which we did not care for after Cas inserted herself into a conversation that had nothing to do with her. It's ironic how as a paying customer, I was using a polite voice to ask for status and got snapped at by an employee. Got our refund and took our business elsewhere. There are plenty of options here in old town Temecula.

Food trucks have been around for quite some time, but finding a cluster of them in a single…read morelocation in Riverside is rather new to me. On a sparsely traveled side street that separates the Target parking lot from the 91 freeway, is an attraction that will have you slamming on your brakes and craning your neck to see what the fuss is all about. The day we came, a Sunday afternoon, there were about 10 different, brightly colored trucks lined up along the curb, lights flashing, music blaring, and lines starting to form. You can park your car in the adjacent parking lot, there's plenty of room! Yes, this a very successful food truck according to Yelp. And by far the most patronized truck I saw that day. Inside the tiny galley kitchen are 4 hustling adults, including sweet Isabelle, the food ambassador of a husband and wife duo. I loved her enthusiasm and bright smile. At this point, I want to mention that Columbian taste buds are more finicky than many of their Central and South American brothers. So do not expect hot chile anything. Their palates prefer milder, not spicy foods, even though one of the sauces served with the empanadas was a garlicky, bright, herbal, oily sauce, not unlike the Argentinian chimichurri sauce. They call it aji (ah hē). I find it very addictive. Bandera Paisa - this is a combo plate that features a fat, Columbian chorizo (a non spicy sausage), a pile of moist shredded beef, a large strip of pork belly, white rice, Columbian red beans, a fried egg, avocado, and several pieces of fried sweet plantain. There is also one Cheese Arepa included. This dish can easily be shared by two and is a phenomenal deal and interesting taste adventure. Beef Arepa. This is basically a fried masa pocket substantially filled with their signature shredded beef, then topped with guacamole and white cheese. This is very similar to their beef empanadas, so I would encourage ordering one or the other, not both. It's big. Beef Empanadas (3). This is not your usual empanada. The generous beef filling is made from their sensational slow-cooked, flavorful shredded beef with a hint of corn and vegetables. The pastry is actually made of a coarse grained masa, formed into the traditional moon-shape, then deep-fried. It is heavier and far more filling than what I am accustomed to, but it has a chewy, coarse textured mouth appeal and rich flavor. One order is 3 empanadas. They offer an interesting variety of drinks, the most notable being their iced Columbian coffee (intensely rich, creamy, and sweetened) and a Passion Fruit Slushy that is an exotic fruity perfection. Both are pre-made and served out of a dispenser. Columbiana soda, plus other sodas and juices, are available in bottles and cans. The only downside is the seating. A few wooden tv trays and canvas folding chairs are set up on the uneven dirt adjacent to the sidewalk. It appears that using the sidewalk is off limits for seating. I loved their cute, vibrant Cuban music, but oftentimes it became overwhelming as it competed with another truck's equally loud Mexican music right next to them. That, and the seating, effectively convinced me that eating my food elsewhere was probably a better idea, even though sweet Isabelle was frequently checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Our bill was really reasonable, considering the amount of food we had. It was approx. $42, and there was plenty to bring home for another day.

Amazing food truck with great food and service. I love the level of detail. Their branded tables,…read morethe blowup mascot, the branded shirts and the friendliness of the staff.

We were too full to try more but everything looks delicious and we will definitely be back for more. Highly recommend.
