Outside the restaurant
Stephanie C.

The food was honestly a bit underwhelming. I ordered two fish tacos and a shrimp ceviche. The tacos were decent, but they really relied on the lime for flavor. As for the shrimp ceviche, it had a fishy taste and lacked the kick I was hoping for--it definitely could've used more spice, lime, and seasoning overall. The flavors were pretty mild, and there wasn't anything that really set it apart from other seafood spots. That said, the chips were nicely fried and lightly salted, which I appreciated. There's plenty of parking available in the outdoor lot. The restaurant is located inside a shared food court next to a Hawaiian spot and a few other places. There's also a bathroom in the back of the food court. The ambiance was the highlight of my visit. It had a nature-inspired vibe with outdoor seating and benches, and the string lights gave it a charming, slightly romantic feel. Plus, it's not too far from Pechanga Casino, where I stayed the night. Overall, it's a nice spot to bring your family or even for a casual date night.

Ceviche

I've been coming here since they opened and it's still a hit! My go-to is the fish ceviche. Love!

Love this little area! It's in this food court area. There's a few other food options in there too. But I'm glad we chose to go here. The service was great! We were ordering so much for such a large group. He took his time, didn't feel like he was frustrated with us, gave us suggestions and everything. After we ordered, he told us he was the only one there so it would take awhile to make it all, but he gave us a buzzer and we wandered around the area while we waited. If you decide to eat there, there's plenty of tables and seats to eat. What's great is since it's in a food court, you can test out the other eateries as well. There's a mini retro store too that you can look around at while waiting for your food. Food was delicious! Burritos were huge! Chips were delicious. We'll be back!

Inside
Gina R.

This little place is awesome. Their fish tacos are humongous! And delicious. I couldn't believe the price for the tacos! One was a lot for one persons my husband and I had one each and also order aguachiles. OMG! To die for! We came across this place by chance searching for places to eat. The place is located inside a little food court place and it was an awesome little setup. They allow dogs inside which was great for us. Overall, amazing place and will definitely stop by again if we are in the area!

Fish taco
Sylvia C.

Finally had the opportunity to check this place out tonight. The dining hall has a total of 4 food vendor options inside. I was looking forward to trying this place since it's been around for a while, but we just never seem to remember it. The lady at the register was friendly, but our food (2 ceviche fish tacos, and one grilled fish taco) took a long time. Unfortunately, our food was not worth the wait. My husband said the fish in his taco tasted weird. So much so that he maybe took 2 bites of it and couldn't finish it. The fish in my tostadas tasted very fishy as well. I was hoping I wouldn't regret eating them. There were some very long, stringy pieces of fish that were difficult to eat. I couldn't finish my food. Unfortunately, our meal here tonight was a big disappointment.

I came here for a little snack to sit and chat with a friend. We kept it simple and got chips and guac and salsa. The salsa was nothing special, nor the guac. I didn't like that the man getting our food just grabbed our chips with his hands (although gloved) and packed them on a cafeteria tray. I'll have to come back and try the food next time if I'm feeling the vibe. The music is a bit too loud in the little food hall.

Beer battered fish tacos and aguachile tostada
Kaylani K.

I really enjoyed this spot after going to a winery. It sparked my interest because fish tacos duh and aguachile! We could not finish these amongst 2 people. These were loaded fish tacos. It was empty when we showed up but it also was a Tuesday on my bday. I got some great photos because of this. I'm sure the ambience is awesome when it's more packed... me honestly... I don't mind when it's empty. I felt extra special lol

I stumbled upon this place in 2021 I think and came back because I couldn't get their beer battered shrimp taco outta my heaaaaad! Lol. I came back with the minis (they are located inside a Bldg with other restaurants) and decided to give it another try. The tacos were not as big as I remembered (however, I know a lot has changed Post-COVID and with prices seemingly going up on everything). My son ordered the kids bean burrito...he only had a bite or two of it...we also had an order of the fresh salsa and fresh guac. The salsa is amazingly fresh, but a bit lacking in the flavor department...the guac is pretty good. The chips are very fresh and great. Overall I'd recommend and would visit again

Fried fish taco
Brenda T.

Recommended by a friend and now we recommend this place to other friends! About $8 for a taco but they are so big you can make 2 tacos (they double the tortilla). Everything I've tried is delicious: kids quesadilla, ceviche, beer battered shrimp tacos, grilled fish tacos, todo! If you like it spicy try the Enchilado! My mouth is watering thinking about this place and I need to come in soon.

Indoor Dining
Jackie B.

This restaurant is located within a little shopping area in Temecula which is really cute. Although, I did get a little lost finding it but it was worth it. There's about 4 restaurants within the location and there's indoor and outdoor seating available. I ordered two shrimp tacos ($8) that had squid and some other items. I give it a 8/10. I wish it would be a bit more spicy but you can add a tapatío sauce from the packets they have available at the counter. They're filling and for the price I think it's good. We also got two ceviches on a plate with the chips on the side. Rate 9/10. The seasoning and flavor were delish. I liked that this location has indoor dining as it was a warm Sunday evening. Check them out if you're ever in the area. 3 sodas 4 food items Total: $52

Alexia Q.

I was excited to try this place out based off the reviews. I'm visiting from LA and I was craving ceviche and seafood tacos, so I decided to come here. While the food was good, I was disappointed in a few things: *No sour cream chipotle sauce on the fish taco, no mayo on the ceviche *Ceviche was $15+ and was extremely small for the price; *** it also didn't have any avocado or mayo as advertised and expected *No utensils or napkins, and no hot sauce. I had to stop for avocado and Tapatío on my way home because it wasn't provided. I give three stars for decent food, but not meeting menu and general service

Aguachile Shrimp ceviche: 5 stars
Dakota D.

As good as it gets! Aguachile Ceviche: 5 stars Shrimp, cucumber, jalapeno, red onion, cilantro, lime, avocado. Good heat, great flavor and tender shrimp - all made to order! Each ceviche comes with fresh tortilla chips and service is 5 stars. Avocado portion is generous and plenty of indoor or outdoor seating. Very dog friendly (outside). I look forward to coming here on my next trek through Temecula.

Tiny $18 each shrimp cocktail
Miriam N.

We asked for a shrimp cocktail and the cashier told us "cocktails are at the bar" we were confused and then he corrected us with the Spanish pronunciation "coctel". He was rude, I didn't think it was funny. Paid $18 + tax and tip for each shrimp cocktail, to get a tiny paper bowl with 4-5 shrimp. The sauce had spice and tasted bitter from too much lemon. You can see the size in the photo with the crackers. I'm sorry I stopped here to eat after a long trip having so many other options. Bad experience, food, and service.

Shrimp Ceviche Tostada & Fish Beer Battered Fish Taco So delicious and fresh!!!

I mean, how good could it possibly be? SERVICE: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From the moment you were greeted & welcomed with a BIG SMILE by the lovely hostess to the moment the extremely welcoming and friendly waiter BRUCE took your order. I was blown away at the EXCELLENT SERVICE. It felt the most sincere it of all the other restaurants. There was no slight expression of moodiness or tiredness. VERY PROFESSIONAL. LOBSTER ROLL: 10/10 STAR OF THE SHOW It's actually made with REAL LOBSTER and not Crawfish or worst imitation crab meat. This is one of the only sushi places that actually makes it with LOBSTER and the best part is they also fry it!!! YES YES & YES!!! YAKI TORI COMBO: 9/10 Tastes Great! We loved the Beef & asparagus but, the shrimp or prawn was a bit tricky to get off the skewer! MISO SOUP: 9/10 Was it worth $10 My husband says HELL NO but, for me it was the perfect balance of sodium level. Most places either make it too salty or bland. 1 point off because it could have used more umami flavors from more miso and bonito flakes... AMBIANCE: It was quite beautiful inside with Cool Vivid theme colors. Almost like you were eating under the ocean kind of vibe. Great place for a date night or group gathering.

I prefer my cocktail sauce a little more spicy but that's just a preference. The ambiance is tranquil and soothing. I like the dimmed lighting. It can be very romantic for some. Also, Dylan who took over for Bryce was also fabulous!

The carne asada was juicy and perfectly cooked. We ordered the loaded fries, and wow they were truly loaded with meat! We also tried the taco enchilada plate as a sampler, and the enchilada sauce was to die for. I literally scooped up every last bit with my quesadilla. They offer several house made sauces with different spice levels, and all of them were delicious. Each of us had a different favorite, so definitely sample them all before choosing. The quesadilla was great too, but if you're deciding, I highly recommend the loaded fries and the taco enchilada plate both were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Lastly, we got the horchata, and it was excellent perfectly flavored and not watered down at all. We pass through Temecula every time we visit California, and we can't wait to add this gem to our regular stop. There are so many other menu items we're excited to try next time!

I want to be fair and try other things but if their meat isn't even seasoned well the other dishes will probably disappoint as well. Its a cute restaurant and the people seem nice. The restaurant feels really laid back.

The Birria which was fun to build it, but was a little bland. But the plate was finished. We spent about $85 for these things and an iced tea. I feel like this place doesn't get as much movement as the other restaurants cause it's the furthest from the gaming area. But gets a lot of service when there are conventions or events because it's on that side of the resort. If you have a chance, try it out.

I have read some of the other reviews and feel I have some different expectations of a higher end…read moresteakhouse. I found it loud like, I was aware of everyone else's presence in the room. The seating was worn and not comfortable for an extended dining experience. As my wife and I were simply seeking a good steak we both ordered a prime fillet. They were excellent! Perfectly cooked to our medium rare request, impeccably seasoned and with a perfect amount of charred edges. My wife said it was the best steak she ever had. I also had a baked potato that I was quite satisfied with. This is where the story changes on the food. My wife ordered a hassle back potato. This potato was so overcooked that if it was not the first night of work for the person who plated it and the waitress that served it, and they had never saw a hassle back potato before they should have been fired! When our disappointment was brought to the waitress's attention I felt I was being questioned as to whether I knew what I was talking about. It was not immediately removed from the table. We were offered to have it replaced, I presume to eat as a dessert. When we declined that option we were told that they would, graciously, take it off our bill. Moral of the story: Based on many of the other reviews I read, they must not have many failures. Based on my experience, that lack of experience shows in their customer recovery ability when one happens. The steak was high end. The price was high end. The physical restaurant was not high end. The customer service experience was definitely not high end. First and last experience at The Great Oak Steakhouse!

My man spoiled me beyond measure, we got the Tomahawk, bone in family style, it only came with asparagus and mash for... $198. I really wanted the steak and I love a good bone in steak. For this price, they could do better with the sides, I mean, asparagus and potatoes aren't that much and especially in bulk. In my opinion m, these sides do not match the overall esthetic of the restaurant. The sides should be way better! Although they were good we wouldn't spend the money again. We also got bread, it wasn't good, it was just too much of a different variety and they should give free bread and make you pay for that kind of bread basket. The wedge salad was amazing!!! I could have just ate that, no joke, it's so good. The Mac n cheese was definitely a great choice! It was so bomb! Get the mac n cheese I also loved my waitress and should have gotten her name! This place is great for their employees bc they're not overworked, well it seemed as if they were not and many people helped out with our table collectively! Five stars for that! That also creates a happier environment for employees. Overall I would come back here, especially bc it's located inside of Pechanga, the food is great, and the customer service is top tier. I just wouldn't get that tomahawk and wouldn't get so much but could have the Mac n cheese with a salad for dinner or just a steak. 10 out of 10! Oh and the waitress said you really don't need sides for the steak, they have lots of side/sauce options but they served the steak with a house made A1 and it's so damn goooood haha
