We loved all the decorations. They were playing 80's music. Staff was attentive & the food was scrumptious. It was a total VIBE. You know you're in your happy zone when youre swaying to your childhood songs as you're eating. We came specifically to try their viral puerto nuevo style lobster..... The flavor was on point. Perfecto. We will be adding this place to our rotation. It's most definitely a must try place!!! #DiningWithTheAndersons #Foodies #ComidaMexicana #LakeElsinore #Lobster

The cocktails and tacos were fine. I've had better, so I would not come again. Service was good at the beginning, but once we started eating and needed our bill it took awhile. It's located in the downtown area, so it reminded me of a smaller version of downtown Temecula.

It tasted really good! My husband and I were impressed…read moreoverall by the taste of the food, quality and quantity. You get a decent sized portion. I got a potato taco and a supreme French fry. The French fries were overcooked and hard. It was kind of dry to eat also. The shrimp was okay. My husband loved his surf and turf burrito. Our only problem was 30 minutes after eating this food, we both had stomach cramps and diarrhea. Sorry if that is too much information. I'm just keeping it real lol We decided that we would not eat here again. It didn't agree with our stomachs. Ambiance was loud with the music and crowded.

This small location is tied in with the local park just past downtown. My initial impressions were…read morenot that great because I saw that the park public restrooms were inside the location and fenced in. The initial odor wasn't so pleasant. The men's bathroom did not have hand washing soap and it was very dark inside. I was prepared to give a very unfavorable rating. However. after receiving and tasting the food and drinks I was very surprised. The food was amazing and much authentic. The aguas frescas were definitely fresh and delicious! I observed patrons enjoying their taquito plate and burritos. I will definitely return to try another entree. They do only offer outside patio seating but I think it's part of the ambiance. The service was very friendly. I definitely could tell that they use fresh products. Again, some of the negatives was the occasional restroom odor and that they charge a service fee for paying via credit card. Don't confuse it with La Única restaurant downtown

We had an incredibly frustrating breakfast experience here. I'm generally understanding when a…read morerestaurant is busy or short-staffed, but there were so many mistakes and such poor communication that it became unacceptable. Our order was taken incorrectly, and when I pointed it out, I was told that I had never given the correct order--even though I had repeated it twice. My children's order was also wrong. When the food finally came, we still didn't have our drinks, and even the tortillas were incorrect. The breaking point was my child's drink. About 40 minutes after our food arrived, we still didn't have it. I went inside and told the employee I was happy to take the drink myself--I simply needed it so my child could eat. She said okay, yet I stood at the counter for another 15 minutes while she continued doing other things and then attempted to take another customer's order. At that point, yes, I became visibly frustrated and said I wasn't willing to continue waiting. Nearly an hour for a child's drink after multiple mistakes is unreasonable. Another customer then decided to involve herself, telling me to calm down and not be rude because the employees were "doing their best." She had no idea what had happened before that moment or how long we had already been waiting, and the interaction unfortunately escalated from there. I understand that people make mistakes and employees can become overwhelmed. My issue wasn't one mistake--it was the repeated mistakes, extremely long wait, lack of follow-through, and then being told I hadn't communicated something that I absolutely had. I hope management provides better training and support because this experience was unnecessarily chaotic and frustrating. We came in wanting to enjoy breakfast as a family, and instead spent most of it trying to get basic parts of our order corrected.

This place has my favorite birria and I love their aguas because you can do a chamoy and tajin rim, yum! My go to's are anything birria but quite honestly, everything is good. There are many things that are shareable, and the carne asada fries are my favorite. Tried their new loaded guacamole and taquitos de papas, and wow so tasty and delicious. The micheladas are also the best out there, and is a big portion so I usually split it with my husband.

I was quite frustrated and unhappy with the service until...I tried the food. The food is the only reason why I am rating this place 4 starts. Service was 0, the ambiance, decoration and cleanliness and decoration 4 stars, the tacos: 4.5. Tacos were so tasty, delicious, the fish and shrimp tacos were some of the best fancy, non-street ones I ever had. The sauce blended with all the flavor of the protein seasoning. The tortilla was fluffy. I will definitely go back and try more!

Our son recommended Main Street and we discovered 3 competing Mexican food spots closely situated. I saw this spot and they had me at the word authentic on the sign. We arrived around noon on a Thursday and the place was empty. The convenient drive through makes things easy but we went inside. She ordered Chile Relleno which came with rice and beans and I asked for a chicken enchilada and a crunchy hard shell machaca taco, (shredded beef) with double frijoles. Chips and salsa and 2 beers. It all came out hot and fresh and the beer was ice cold. The home made salsa Roja had the very best flavor and it had the habanero kick we were looking for...so look out. The chips were fresh but had a touch too much salt. If your in the mood for authentic Mexican food you need to visit this spot. The clean dining room has televisions and the booths are comfortable. Did I mention the handmade authentic tortillas? oh boy oh boy oh boy.

Many of them had not been and only a couple had heard of it. It's a family owned single location. We found it while camping at the Launch Point RV Park located nearby. I tried the birria and the brisket but the highlight for me is the Carne Asada. It's great in the tacos, burritos, and especially on their french fries. Something about the cut of meat that they use or the way that they prepare it is different from most places and really flavorful. They have a really good assortment of sauces and the staff was super friendly. We went here three times in three days because it was that good. I highly recommend you check it out and I hope you have as good experience as I do because I've been craving these ever since I left!

As far as ambiance this place definitely gives the Mexican ranchero vibe. With murals on the back of the bar chairs. Lots of space for waiting with 3 benches. Small patio but they were not seating on the patio. And expect a wait because this place is popular. The food was good the service was good. There was a bit of a confusion as my uncle did not articulate what he wanted correctly. What he ordered and what he wanted were not the same. He wanted carnitas enchiladas what he got was the carnitas combo plate and a side of enchiladas. I ordered the carnitas sopes which were delicious! Highly recommended. The chili releno that my mom order did not look good to me. It looked like they spread onions, peppers and tomatoes on top of the chilies instead of blended into the sauce. The taco salad that my aunt ordered looked basic. Drinks amazing!!!

So my experiences vary depending on how I'm experiencing them-if delivery, not too pleasant because they don't secure their packages. If dine-in, they have yet to disappoint. Certainly recommend dining in I've had their flan, their super nachos and their huevos rancheros. The latter two, were perfect. THIS is my new go to spot for nachos-hard to find a place where you can get loaded nachos with nacho cheese and they have both shredded and nacho cheese sauce here. Just amazing. The huevos rancheros...well look at them. Doesn't that look delicious? It was. I won't speak on the flan because, well, I don't think I like flan much. The dining area is roomy. Service was prompt and friendly. Tvs going, arcade machines. This is a great spot with great food-just be weary of ordering delivery.

My husband loves the flautas and breakfast burrito. Ambiance is kind of bar like on one side and restaurant on the other. The tv is usually loud playing some sort of sports.
