    This is the kind of Mexican food joint that makes food either hit or miss and mostly OK tasting. I dare say their food is more expensive than other places. Today I just felt like a quesibirria. I see the option to add more cheese for an extra 1.39$, really lame. Other places near my home in San Diego just throw in more cheese at no cost AND on top of that they include the consume soup. I had to pay an extra 3$ for a small cup. The tacos definitely needed more cheese. I was disappointed that it lacked that oomph for me to enjoy it. The birria soup had a really good flavor but wasnt yummy oily like im used to. I also ordered a shrimp taco but that tasted awful. My surf n turf fries had little flavor and the beef was bland. My order came out exactly how I asked so thats always nice. The inside looks like a cool hangout. This place missed the mark for me. Its quite pricey for just mostly ok food. Maybe ill try other items next time.

    Food quality & quantity is hit or miss, more misses than hits as of lately. Enough to not want to come back. The last time we came, we ordered a chicken burrito and I'm not being hyperbole when I tell you it had 5 or small pieces of chicken, it's like we paid for pico de gallo wrapped in a flour tortilla. The service is nice and place is clean, but I just can't do paying $14 for a tiny burrito full of veggies basically. In the beginning they were pretty consistent with the size, but I'm not sure what happened. The cooks are the same ones they've always had so not sure why they got greedy with the portions.

    They freshly make their tortillas! Delicious!! It's an Easy 5/5 a great choice for tacos/burritos Food -Super California Burrito modified 5/5 (YOU CAN TATSE THE QUALITY) This might be the Best California Burrito in the Temecula/Murrieta area. The ingredients are FRESH!! If you like cali burritos this is a MUST TRY -Poblano Taco: comes with poblano chile (not spicy so don't worry) and a creamy Hansel sauce 5/5 -Sonora Taco: Grilled Angus steak, guacamole, whole beans, cilantro, and onions 5/5 Atmosphere: Very clean! Nice interior Service: Friendly & Great recommendations! This place is a Gem! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

    Ok the little pregger girl working register is so sweet and such a hard worker! She was cleaning and staying busy inbetween taking orders. When my food came out it was huge & looked amazing and she had a huge smile when she saw my shocked face. But sadly the nachos are slacky.. a little dry and not enough flavor. I'll stick to burritos and tacos next time. They bump good music and everyone is nice.

    Crunchy Quesabirria Quesadilla

    Very clean, great salsa bar, easy ordering and food came out quickly. Quesabirria quesadilla was good. Meat was seasoned well but it lacked something overall. Maybe I needed consume to dip. Taco flight was solid. Chicken (thighs) was flavorful. Carne asada and carnitas were delicious. Tortilla are fresh and delicious. I wish they were cooked a little longer though.

    Chicken Asada Taco & California Burrito. Excellent!!

    El Taco Bar deserves 5+ stars because it stands out from all the taquerias I've been to so far in CA! This is probably the only fast food "taco bar" I would take my mature, professional friends to dine in for lunch. The dining area is super clean and the contemporary furnishing is appealing. I also love that there's an extra large booth in the corner for a party of 6+ with some privacy. The other tables look like they can be moved to accommodate other large groups, as well. The well marinated chicken taco I ordered was pretty epic (for a taco) because of the handcrafted tortilla it was made with. They also have a salsa bar with freshly roasted medium hot chilis that added a special kick. I can eat this every day for the rest of my life, LOL! Service is friendly. I'm worried that the location seems out of the way--definitely a hidden gem. This is why I didn't hesitate to write this review ASAP to get the word out and make sure this business will succeed and stick around forever!!! There are other other hidden gems next door that need to be explored... Highly recommend for regular dining!!! I'll be back very soon!! :D

    Stopped here after a fun night at Pechanga for a quick bite. Ordered their bacon/egg breakfast burrito -- it was delicious. They also have a self-service salsa bar and TV wall. Staff were very friendly, the service was quick and the prices were good. Shares parking lot with Starbucks -- there is an outdoor patio and plenty of seating inside too.

    Super clean salsa bar

    Ah man! This place hit the spot! The Chorizo Breakfast Burrito was so fresh and perfectly seasoned. I was the only one in the restaurant so I received the VIP treatment . Washed it all down with a Voodoo Ranger. So delightful! The restaurant was clean and had 4 TVs with some college football pregame shows. Let's go Saturday morning!

    Flight of some of the best tacos!

    I wish they all could be California... Tacoooooooos! El Taco Bar is Spanish for "The Taco Bar", and Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy does this place have some excellent tacos. I ordered a taco flight with one of each protein and all of them were great! They were loaded too. I shouldn't have eaten all 4 but I couldn't stop! They had the fountain soda pops and a hot-sauce bar which made unlimited fountain soda pops needed. They also had horchata which is dangerous. It's so addictive because it's smooth and delicious. Stop here, flap your wings and take flight for some great tacos. ***Disclaimer, I'm from FL where tacos are terrible so any CA Taco will be better***

    My search for the best breakfast burrito in the area brings me to El Taco Bar, which I would have never found on my own, and glad I did! Tucked back by the Starbucks facing away from the parkway it's easy to miss. The inside is spacious, well lit and very clean. I'm the first customer today, the staff were very friendly and stayed busy the whole time preparing for the day. Good to see great customer service and good work ethic. The salsa bar had 4 salsas and peppers, instead of the typical carrots I see as standard. The peppers are a dice roll of heat, ate 4 and 2 got me a little hot, the other two were mild. The Habanero Salsa had me excited, but surprisingly wasn't very hot; it was however vibrant and the sweet, bright habanero flavor was showcased. The burrito was fresh off the griddle with a good melt to the cheese. The potatoes were chunky slices and not the chunks, which I found very pleasant as I never had a bite that was mostly potato. The egg, potato, bacon and cheese ratio was great, but the star that tied this together was a special sauce they add on the final toss before getting wrapped in tortilla. You can see it oozing like flavor lava and it does add an extra unexpected element to an otherwise standard Bacon Burrito. It's not a giant burrito, but very satisfying; I feel like I want more because it was so delicious, but I know I don't have room to eat another. Overall Location would be a 4.5 star but, it might keep it from getting too busy and locals might like it that way. Super clean and comfortable 5 star for the Staff at this time in the morning 5 stars for the burrito. Size, flavor, composition for the price, I'd consider this a great value, well worth it.

    Taco flight was so good!  Carnitas, pollo, carne asada, and adobada tacos
    Victoria R.

    This taco spot is soo good! 10/10 recommend! My favorite was their carne asada and abodada tacos. My husband loved his California burrito too! They have beer and margaritas here. But bummed the margaritas are a slushie version. I'm not a fan of very sweet drinks so wishing they had a regular margarita on the rocks with salt or tajin! Definitely will be back!

    Great food, great customer service, clean place, reasonable prices. My new taco shop. The pollo street tacos are amazing

    Carne asada and shrimp burrito

    Good food, the portions are super large. I ordered a fish taco and a surf and turf taco. Hubby ordered a carne asada and shrimp burrito. Both were good. The menu doesn't show everything they have like chips on the side or beans etc..

    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.

    This location brings back so many memories allllll the way back to El Torito many many years ago…read more My wife works at the mall and we constantly kept looking at this place so we finally had a date night a few months ago here and were very impressed We were quickly seated, which was nice... and I wish I wrote down the name of our server cause he was great, too Ordered some rolled tacos and an asada torta... both came out very quickly and super hot and fresh! The chips to start are always a huge plus and the salsa was super yummy The food itself was also really good and had great flavor, no complaints at all except that I wish we had more time to stay before having to go pick up our kids. Usually, when the food is good, the drinks are good too... so would like to come back again soon to give those a shot as well... I like it! Very impressed by this spot

Service was good, and the ambience was clean, chill, and not crowded, which made it a nice spot to just relax and enjoy the meal. Overall, it was a great experience. The only downside was that there were a few food flies lingering around our table, which was a little off-putting. We also didn't receive the usual complimentary chips and cheese you sometimes get at Hispanic restaurants, but I know every place does things differently. Still, I'd definitely come back for the food alone.
