The Bautista family (which owns and runs the place) are fabulous - shout out to Christian, Danny, and Alex - and the food is simply superb. You can't beat the homemade tortillas (go with corn!), the adobada (my wife and oldest son are literally addicted to it), the carnitas...everything is top shelf. Eat in if you can because the food is better when it is hot and made to order. I am about to head there in a few minutes!

Everything i wanted to eat was not available at all! I was sourly disappointed! Its not too small inside and it had a very small outdoor seating. Its nice and looks authentic inside. My server was really nice. She was a sweetheart! My cabeza taco was pretty good. The meat was very soft and tender. The salsa is very mild. It practically had 0 spice but it tasted good. The burrito meat was also bland and my chille rellano was pretty cheesy and tasty. I only gave this place 3 stars bc who doesn't serve birria daily?? Lol!

Honestly, some of the best tacos in the Temecula area. The meat has amazing flavor, we had tacos de…read moreadobada and carnitas. The carnitas are throw on the flat top to give it a little crunch which my wife loved and the adobada is perfectly marinated. The hand made tortillas are made fresh to order, variety of salsas and chile/cebolla asado (grilled seranos and onion) available at their salsa bar. The service was very friendly, quick and clean. My ONLY real complaint was the price. Almost $5 a taco would seem criminal 10 years ago but that's really just how today's economy is, but the food is definitely worth it. You would be paying the same price at any other "taco shop" in the area, I'm just glad they were authentic! I would definitely come back again.

Living in temecula for a little over a year now, I've learned Mexican food here is hardly Mexican food. In fact, Temecula makes Taco Bell look like authentic Mexican food. Now of all the "mexican" food I've had in temecula this is the best tasting one, but again it doesnt say much. Service is good. Food isn't bad. For the area it's great. I just don't see myself coming here unless it was absolutely necessary.

I asked what breakfast burrito is the best or her favorite and took her up on the recommendation of the Machaca Breakfast Burrito. Choosing to dine in I was offered chips and salsa and asked for salsa preference. No salsa bar here which was fine, I chose spicy and got a roasted red salsa and creamy green salsa. Red had more kick but the green had such a nice bright flavor. I'm sure there are more options but it was nice to trust the service to pick. Now for the burrito, the star of the show, Machaca is only 50 cents more than the bacon, coming in at around $14 which is about average around here. The size was great and a nice weight. Cutting it open there was a great mix of all the ingredients. Potatoes were a small dice and seasoned with the same spice they sprinkle on their chips I think. Fajita style onions and peppers with a generous amount of juicy Machaca, laced with perfectly melted cheese. I think there may have been some refried beans in there too since I asked for everything they recommend. If there was they were so nicely blended they didn't dominate a single bite and may have performed more as a binder. 5 stars for Location and staff were both great as it's not hard to get to off Ynez by the dealerships. It's the kind of place locals know of and tell people they got their perfect spot. Blown away by how friendly the staff is, in the morning, while taking deliveries. The Machaca Breakfast Burrito is a solid 4.9/5, would definitely order again after I try some of the others because this place is definitely going on the short list of go-to spots. They have quesaberria tacos that look awesome.

The location is a mom and pop operation with enough tables and seating to accommodate maybe a few groups of people. We arrived here on a weekday afternoon as we were craving some breakfast burritos. This restaurant is steady with customers coming in for their lunch breaks. The cashiers and staff were very welcoming to us as we needed dining in. We ended up ordering a Machaca burrito and a fish burrito. They offered house made chips and salsa as complimentary items. These burritos were served so hot and fresh the steam was seeping through. The machaca was delicious and I loved the spice from the fresh cut jalapenos. My wife and I ended up eating 1/2 of our burritos and took the rest to go. Familia Restaurant is definitely feels worth their pricing. The hospitality from staff was top tier. I'd recommend coming by if you are in this area. Please come by and support this family business. We left happy! ( ^_^)b

In talking to the owners, they have been here for just over a year.The location could be difficult to get to at certain times of the day. We tried the three taco plate, and the enchilada plate. Not disappointed at all with our choice. Food was hot and fresh, full of great flavor. We are looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.

Getting into that plaza is a sport... getting out is an extreme sport!! You've been warned!! But once you survive rush hour Olympics, the reward hits. I tried the Tlayuda Oaxacana... basically a giant corn tortilla living its best life, piled with black beans, fresh queso Oaxaca, avocado, tomatoes, and a generous heap of flank steak. First time having it and wow... where has this been all my life? And the salsa? Oh, it doesn't play games. It showed up, chose violence, and left my lips buzzing and my ears ringing like I just left a concert. Painful? Yes.!!! Worth it? Absolutely!!!!

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.

Their menu did seem on the pricier side. I went in there solely wanting to sit at the bar and to get an appetizer. The bar was kind of full so we sat at a high table instead. I guess on Fridays they have a band as well since they were setting that up while we were there. Joshua was our server and took good care of us. Seems like a family owned and operated restaurant since his family owns it. He even hooked us up with a shot! Thanks, Joshua! We got about few Hennessy shots and it came with complimentary chips and salsa. We ordered the oyster ceviche that comes with shooters. They could use a little more salt flavoring but we loved them. They were hefty with their octopus, scallops ceviche on top of the oyster. Definitely want to go back for a night out in town.

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.
