    Three item combo with cheese enchilada, carne asada taco and chile relleno.
    Ed S.

    Amazing food, warm staff with excellent service. You won't find better food for the price anywhere in the region. The portions were huge and everything was made with love using fresh ingredients. I was shocked at how fast everything was ready given how good the food was. I felt like I was sitting in my Tia's kitchen, eating lunch with family. I will definitely be back.

    The most authentic delicious food and service is amazing. Lucy herself will serve you.!! Every time I'm in Temecula. I make a stop at Casa de Lucy.

    Ground beef tacos with beans and rice
    Tammy B.

    Great food and great service. Nice little Mexican Food place in Temecula. The asada tacos was really full of tender asada that was flavorful and not chewy or fatty. Hubby enjoyed the ground beef tacos very much. The rice and beans tasted fresh and we're even better with salsa added on top, yum! The free chips and salsa that were served while waiting for our meal were also good, especially the salsa. Not too hot, but very tasty.

    Green Chili Plate

    I went to lunch today with my uncle and I told him that I want some good Mexican food. He said "Say no more" and brought me to Casa de Lucy. Right as we walked through the door, I knew that it would be some good food. We sat down and they were attentive right away. In California, it's hard to find a good salsa and they have one here. I'm used to a red salsa like Arizona and most places in California have pico style. My uncle has only eaten one thing at this restaurant and it's the Green Chili Plate. The portions here are large and the plates are hot. He says this is the best Green Chili in San Diego and he ate the whole thing. I decided to order the Chicharonnes Plate because it's a delicacy and something you can't find anywhere. The Chicharonnes were smothered in a spicy red sauce. I mixed it together with the beans, rice, salsa and slapped it into a flour tortilla. Near one of the best I've ever had. The service and staff here is very attentive, the food is amazing, and it has that little Mexican food charm. It's the type of atmosphere that you know the food will be good right as you walk on in. If you haven't been here, you need to visit. My rating is a 9.5/10.

    Chorizo con huevos y frijoles
    Glo B.

    We brought family here who hadn't tried this place. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The only complaint was that the lengua still had the skin on it, but they ate around it and was tasty. Authentic Mexican food. Easy parking, no wait. Thumbs up!

    Beautiful and comfortable interior.

    We were pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem in a nondescript strip mall. Beautiful, yet cozy and homey interior. Nice quiet music was playing. Custom framed art lined the walls that is for sale. Vickie, our server was friendly and made sure our glasses were never empty. The chips were warm and perfectly salted. The salsa that accompanied the chips was some of best fire roasted salsa I've had. Growing up in So Cal, we have a lot of good Mexican food. Casa de Lucy is a notch above most. We had Chile Verde con Carnitas, Chicken Tacos and Carne Asada Sopes. The sides of rice, beans and guacamole were also tasty. Everything we ate was some of the best home made Mexican cooking, just like my mom used to make. No can openers or microwaves here! The real treat was the Flan. It was denser and creamier than any Flan I've ever had. It was decadent!

    This place is impeccably clean. It's a hole in the wall in the sense that it's in a strip mall, but the restaurant is well done on the inside. The decor is very cute and so clean. Lucy was working when we got there! The food was delicious! It's hard to come by well cooked Mexican food in Temecula and this is now our go to spot. The service was quick and friendly. We got the albondigas, a wet burrito, and a combination plate. The rice and beans here are the bees knees. Also, perfect joint for a michelada when you're hungover

    One of the best Mexican restaurants in Temecula. The food is authentic fresh and delicious. And the service is great too.

    Updated review - just wanted to add a few more photos from my recent visit!…read more I seriously love this spot. Guadalajara never misses. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying - you can tell they put care into everything they serve. Portions are generous, and the prices are very affordable, especially for the quality you're getting. The service has always been friendly and quick, and the overall vibe is relaxed and welcoming. It's one of those places you can count on whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy a full meal. Definitely one of my go-to spots. Highly recommend!

This place has always been our go to Mexican restaurant when we come down here. We came on cinco de mayo which was busy and we had waited 20 minutes for a table which we expected. So we placed are order. Wife asked for the 2 taco special with no sour cream. I order the same thing with no cheese or sour cream. I did that cause I'm lactose intolerant. The waitress stated that they can't substitute? I'm not substituting anything. Just don't add it. The "manager" came over and said we can't substitute? I stated I'm not substituting anything, just don't want cheese or sour cream. He said since they're busy cause of cinco de mayo they can't do it which tells me they can't handle a large amount of customers and there food they make in the back there cooks are auto pilot and get devate from the normal operation. We have been here before and "NEVER" had a problem with the way we ordered but today was an issue which tells me things are difficult especially if busy. We will not be back cause it was just a simple request and they couldn't fulfill that. We went over to Rosa's and tortilla factory which is down the street and it was good and "much cheaper ". I will never recommend Guadalajara to anyone anymore cause they couldn't handle a simple request.

    Yesterday was my second time at Espandín. Let's start off with the environment. Espandín is located…read morein Old Town Temecula and has a central location on the corner. With that being said, parking can be difficult because Old Town tends to get very busy on a Saturday. We walked in and it was not busy. The host/server told us to pick any table we would like. We chose outside, but they had just cleaned up the area, so our chairs were stacked. The host/server quickly helped us get the chairs down and place them at our table. The server was attentive and kept checking in on us. Now the food. When we were sat down, we were given complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were perfect and not overly salty or greasy. The salsa was very mild and had a great flavor. I ordered a 2 taco combo plate ($14.95) with carne asada and carnitas. The carne asada was just okay, it was cut into thicker piece, which is not my preference. It was also topped with guacamole, which was not the best I've had. The carnitas however were magnificent topped with pickled onions, cilantro, and salsa. The rice was not traditional Mexican rice and did have a bit of a crunch to it rather than a toast before cooking. The beans were just plain pinto beans, not refried beans, but they were good. While this place, is not extremely traditional, it is a great spot in Old Town Temecula with fairly good food. I'm looking forward to coming back again.

I noticed Espadín had tables and thought it was worth a shot. Also, it was getting really hot and I was ready for some air conditioning. We were seated immediately and our server got our drinks. We ordered a grilled Caesar salad, green chilaquiles with eggs, and guacamole. The guacamole was so fresh and had a great lime flavor. The grilled Caesar was the star of the show! The dressing was amazing. The chilaquiles were also good. I was a little nervous at first since they weren't busy when we walked in compared to the other restaurants on the street, but it ended up being a great surprise how good everything was!
