    It pains me to say, this isn't the same taco shop my family and I always went to growing up. We've been coming here since I was a kid and now coming back to visit Hemet, we had to stop by. I heard they were under new ownership and all the interior decor has been updated to be more modern with a nicer menu and they accept credit card now, which is great. Food wise, we were SO disappointed. Their California burrito was $13 (pricier than our absolute best CA burrito in San Diego that costs $9) and given Hemet is a bit less populous than San Diego - we thought $13 was a bit much. We were even more disappointed when the entire burrito was full of sour cream. Like we thought maybe it wasn't spread out properly but it really was an entire burrito FULL of sour cream. It was basically a sour cream wrap with a bit of fries and bits of steak - nothing else. We added our own salsa from the bar and that made it a it better but it was incredibly disappointing to see an expensive burrito that really had no content. Maybe it's a hit or miss and we really really missed here.

    TASTY LOCAL TREAT! There's a bunch of El Ranchito's scattered across Hemet and the Inland Empire now but this one has always been a local favorite! Shia LaBeouf even stopped here. I'm a fan of this taco shop as the food is pretty reliable and yummy. I'm a major fan of the breakfast burritos here (order the classic!). they're the undisputed winners of the valley when it comes to breakfast burritos. You can get all kinds of Mexican dishes here, enchiladas, tacos, flautas, chilaquiles etc. There's something for everyone and you can come in a small group or by yourself. I usually find the place to be on the quieter side, however it can get busy! Don't worry the staff is super efficient and quick! The line catches up to you in a flash. All the staff are super nice here, they bring your food out to you quickly and with a smile!

    Enchiladas a la carte
    McKenzie G.

    Really large enchiladas. $9.53 after tax. The salsa was ok. I wish it came with a little bit of sour cream. But honestly a really great enchiladas and very full of meat. Its worth the money. The girls in here are always very polite and nice . I was disappointed however there was no taco tuesday special???? It wasnt mentioned on the menu, anyways.

    Been going here for nearly 15 years or so. The best bacon breakfast burrito! Service is good, and the restaurant is clean. Even after moving away, every time I'm in the area I stop by!

    I forgot how much i love this place. Its our second time here portions are huge, prices are better…read morethan surrounding areas more affordable. Carne asada fries are delicious and Brenda's customer service is out of this world!

    Ok it's a nice Sunday and I thought lets try some local mom and pop places. So I landed on That…read moreMexican Place Restaurant. After reading some reviews and and seeing some good things, I figured why not? Well the ambiance was nice in their restaurant. It's funny some of their patrons have never seen a black person up close before. But hey they didn't start anything so there wasn't anything. Let's continue, the service was amazing I was treated like any other patron there which is always a plus. I ordered the surf and turf burrito and carne asada fries as well as their surf and turf fries and hell why not a carne asada burrito. Ok, on to the food. The chipotle sauce was flavorful but there was just not enough of it on the surf and turf burrito. Also it seemed like a flavor was missing from the food itself. My carne asada fries was missing something from them as well as the fries being undercooked. Would this be a place where I'll return? sure mom and pop places always need second chances. Maybe this was a off day, maybe their best chef wasn't there. It could be anything but I'll give the a shot much later on this year.
