    We were at the Temecula Rod Run and wanted lunch. Landeros had been recommended to us so we gave them a try. So glad we did! Our server Chris was outstanding! For starters, the chips, salsa and margaritas were the perfect kick off! I had the chile verde burrito and my wife had the chile verde chilaquiles. Both were delicious! She's was still talking about the flavor of the chilaquiles hours later. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I would recommend the patio on a beautiful SoCal day like we had today. This place is a must visit!!

    Everything about this place delivered a great experience. It's located in the Old Town Temecula so parking is a little tight but a walk through the town is very nice. We went for lunch and enjoyed the beautiful indoor dining with detailed decor. The decorative tree in the middle of the restaurant was a beautiful touch and the wall had Sombreros that looked good. Miguel did a phenomenal job with excellent service. He went above and beyond with providing the best service. We ordered chicken enchiladas and shrimp ceviche. Both dishes were fresh, flavorful, and good portion size. The chips and salsa they serve before your meal were crispy and tasted great. I enjoyed this Mexican restaurant so much I didn't want to leave and can't wait to return. This is your place for quality Mexican restaurant experience.

    Food is fresh. You can taste the house made ingredients. Good vibes too. Service is great and friendly.

    This gem is located in Old Town Temecula. Parking: Parking can be a bit tricky. There's street parking and a parking lot. Street parking is difficult to find. Careful for pedestrians. I highly recommend parking in the lot on 2nd and Main St. Ambiance/Environment: It was busy on a Saturday night during dinner. They have a large space with plenty of indoor seating. The music is lit and loud enough to have a conversation. The decor on the walls is very cute. The tables, chairs, and booths are kept clean. Service: I was greeted immediately when I came in. Every worker was on their game that night. I was checked on multiple times. Thank you Bri for making my birthday special! I didn't tell her it was my birthday, but she checked my ID and offered complimentary churros. Such a sweet gesture! Food & drinks: I ordered a Casa Strawberry Margarita and Quesabirria Tacos with a side of rice and beans. The margarita was definitely fruity & strong. I really like the cup that it was served in. The birria tacos were sooo delicious! It was seasoned well, and they stuffed the tacos! The consome was a bit salty for me, but paired well with the tacos. Pricing: Usually rice and beans are included with entrees (at least at other Mexican restaurants I've been to). I was told rice and beans cost an extra $5 which I thought was excessive. Other than that, I enjoyed the vibes, food, and drinks. I'd definitely come visit again when I'm in the area.

    We stopped in about 6:30 on a Saturday and there was no wait. I didn't think that was possible! They have a great patio, but there were no open tables there, so we sat inside. The restaurant is smaller than I would have expected, but cute. The server quickly brought out chips and salsa, and both were really good. I ordered the chile relleno with rice and beans and that was quite good, too. We didn't order drinks, but we saw some fabulously fancy cocktails being served at a nearby table. The food was very good, as was the service. We would definitely stop in again!

    We were just walking down the street on a hot summer day. I thought well this looks like a fun place for lunch ... It is ... The Mexican food here is delicious. Of course we started with the guacamole. I had a very refreshing hibiscus non-alcoholic drink that was so refreshing . The enchiladas verdes were stuffed with chicken fresh roasted chicken... This restaurant screams Mexican authenticity, but it's got a very cool almost Melrose place vibe. You really must enjoy a meal here with your time in Temecula.

    Great ambience and location off the Main Street of Old Town. We were swiftly seated on a Saturday without reservations and as we sat down, a hot bowl of chips and salsa met us. The chips are delicious and taste fresh. Ashley was our waitress and she was fantastic, always checked on us and gave me a great recommendation that the loaded fries are massive. I shared that with my two young daughters. Husband had the birria plate and said it was only ok. My fries were a bit overcooked and so was the steak. My mango margarita was refreshing and delicious! It was the attentive service from Ashley that made our night!

    I came here on the weekend for a party of 5. Reservations were made in advance so we were seated fairly quickly. The decor was just beautiful. So colorful and vivid. The food came in generous portions with reasonable prices. I was pleased with my choice of loaded fries and a sweet non-alcoholic drink.

    What a great find. We stopped in for dinner at Landeros and Rose was so kind and sweet. She explained that there was a 30 minute wait list and within 15 minutes we had a lovely table be the ornamental tree in the restaurant. Yarry was our server and he was professional, kind and efficient. We both ordered drinks as my wife had a margarita light on agave and I had a Cadillac margarita. The chips were fresh and the salsa quite tasty. My wife ordered the chicken verde enchilada entree and I had Chicken fajitas. Both dishes were excellent. The vibe and ambiance was upbeat and positive. Rose stopped by several times to check on us as did Yarry. Great place and highlyrecommended!

    Carne asada plate
    Emily M.

    Went on Mother's Day and had an amazing lunch. Server was kind, food was warm and the atmosphere was great! I got the carne asada plate- the carne wasn't that good, I'd probably order something else next time. But everything else was! My husband really enjoyed his cali burrito.

    From the moment you walk in, the decor is an experience just in itself. We came here to celebrate our friends wedding anniversary with them. They were able to make reservations easily over the phone as the place gets busy and seating is limited especially on a busy weekend. The restaurant is not very large but it gives it a more cozy vibe. Junior was our server and he was awesome! We all enjoyed their food. My husband and I shared the steak fajitas. I really liked their guacamole. One of our friends ordered the sizzling enchilada with shrimp. I tried a bite of it and it was full of flavor. They have a brunch menu that's only until 2pm that I really want to come back and try. Lastly the star of the show. I ordered the La Princessa cocktail and wow. Now this drink impressed us all just with its presentation alone which we were all not expecting. Junior brought over my drink and asked if I was ready which I was not. I was expecting a regular cocktail. I had to record the magic because as soon as he lifted the cover there was smoke and then a beautiful drink appeared. Such a cool experience and the drink tested amazing too!!! Definitely recommend the drink and this restaurant! We are all for sure are coming back!!

    First time here and can't wait to come back. Chris was our server and he was attentive and provided excellent service. He deserves a raise LOL. There is indoor and outdoor seating, heads up, if you sit outside there are heaters! The restaurant is pretty small but I don't think reservations are accepted. I don't recommend large parties come during peak hours because of how limited seating is. It was so hard to choose...everything on the menu sounded so good. Lots of options but not an overwhelming amount to choose from. Only complaint, my ceviche was more like a shrimp cocktail, STILL delicious but not ceviche. Just a heads up, 20% gratuity will be added on parties of 8+ 10/10! I highly recommend eating here.

    First time at this restaurant for a wedding rehearsal dinner. First and foremost the restaurant was very accommodating. The service from our waitress and servers were amazing and top notch; they were in top of everything from refilling drinks to keeping our appetizers refilled. Food was amazing and flavorful. I ordered the steak fajitas and they sure came out sizzling on the plate. I enjoyed the cool and fun vibe and joy to mention 80s and 90s music. I will definitely be coming back soon.

    Ask the Community - Landeros Mexican Grill + Cantina

    Do they have a full bar or do they use wine based alcohol?

    They only serve wine based drinks. Their Sangria is delicious.

    Do they have happy hour?

    As of right now I believe they do not. Just opened and they are still trying to navigate what works and what doesn't.

    Is there any outside seating? Are reservations advised?

    Yes there is outdoor seating, not sure if reservations are recommended. I went on a weekday and was seated right away.

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.

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.

There was no wait, and we were seated right away in the dine-in area. Our server brought chips and salsa to the table. The chips tasted a little different than what I'm used to, but I'm assuming that's just the style they use, so no issue there. She also handed us the drink menu, which was huge in a good way. The problem was that after that, we never saw our server again. We finished the chips and our water and waited about 24 minutes without anyone checking on us. Meanwhile, tables that arrived after us were already getting their food while we still hadn't even placed our order. We eventually asked another gentleman if he could help us find our server, and he ended up taking our order himself. After that, everything went fine. Food-wise, I ordered a California burrito wet with red sauce. Personally, the red sauce just wasn't for me, the appearance wasn't what I thought so I only had a couple bites and took the rest home. My wife really enjoyed her quesadilla though. Overall, I'd still give this place another chance because I really liked the atmosphere and environment. I'm choosing to see this as just a bad night rather than a bad restaurant.
