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

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.

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

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.

Always a fantastic spot. My wife and I have been coming here for years now, even before moving to…read morethe area. The staff are always nice and very accommodating to help us navigate their menu around my wife's allergies. But the food is absolutely delicious! Our immediate go-to is the Surf & Turf Burrito. The asada is consistently marinated to perfection with a perfect Maillard and the shrimp is nicely seasoned. With the generous ratio of proteins to make sure you're getting the best of both worlds in every bite. Now I'm a sucker for a good shredded beef hard shell taco, but with that being said, I can also be very picky. Usually some places can't get the crisp right, sometimes the meat is too bland, or maybe it comes out too soggy... This place knocks it out of the park! Perfectly crispy, beef is seasoned to perfection, and with the choice of all of the flavorful salsas from their fresh salsa bar... I must say they nailed this item.

I just finished going to Zumba Class at EoS Fitness and this place was in the same plaza so I…read moredecided to stop by and pick up some lunch. It was my first time here so I wasn't really sure what to order. And I just noticed after ordering that there is a self kiosk available too... I saw a nice variety of LUNCH SPECIALS so I had a hard time deciding... SERVICE: A+ Excellent service by a really nice last with long eye lashes! I didn't get her name but, she helped explain the menu items and recommended the FLAUTAS! She also gave a sample of the horchata and I really liked it... AMBIANCE: 10/10 Really nice indoor lighted patio feel. It's perfect for a date night or any occasion. I wasn't expecting it to look so cute and authentic inside... OK so let's talk about the food... FISH TACOS: 10/10 I liked it very much! I thought it was amongst the best in town. Their biggest contender is probably Los Tacos. But, they can win on the quality, portions and pricing. The lunch special was $9.99 and it came with rice and beans. FLAUTAS: 8/10 I wish I ate this right away because if you take it home it will get soggy. The closed box and lettuce and sauces made it mushy. I think I would definitely ask if they can kindly separate the lettuce and keep the box open so the flats stay crunchy next time. It has a nice flavor and texture though... HORCHATA: 9/10 I'm very picky with horchata. To me, it can't be too sweet, too milky or too cinnamony. This horchata was close to perfect. I actually got a nice flavor of the rice, it was not too sweet or watered down and has the right amount of cinnamon. I really like and just prefer it a tad bit thicker or creamier. But, it's definitely one of the best in town! The salsa bar is so nice and CLEAN! The cleanest one I believe I've seen in town. And they are very generous with their salsa bar. There were onions, lime, pickled carrots and radishes. All were very FRESH!! Can't wait to come back and try their other dishes!

He repeatedly told us to keep our kids quiet, including times when they weren't even being loud or disruptive. It became incredibly uncomfortable and honestly ridiculous. What made it even stranger was that the other staff members seemed just as confused as we were about why he kept behaving this way. So I want to be clear: this review is mainly about our experience with this particular waiter, because the rest of the staff did not seem to have an issue with us or our children. Then another couple walked in with a child who was completely quiet, and this SAME waiter still felt the need to say something to them about their child. That confirmed for us that the problem wasn't our kids being disruptive, he clearly had some kind of issue with children being in the restaurant at all. I'm not sure if he thinks he's working at some exclusive adults-only restaurant in Beverly Hills, but families shouldn't be made to feel uncomfortable simply for bringing their children out to eat. If children are allowed in the restaurant, they should be treated like welcome guests, not like an inconvenience. It's unfortunate because one employee's attitude can completely ruin an otherwise good dining experience. Management seriously needs to address this because no family should spend their money somewhere only to be treated this way.
