I’m hesitant to leave a positive review, because I don’t want you going to my favorite restaurant, I enjoy it empty and quiet. But, I love this place and wish them the best of luck with business, so here I am.
My favorite things:
Salsa is actually spicy
All salsa is very good
Tacos tacos tacos!!! I love their tacos
Chorizo n papas burritos!!
BRC burritos.
Mainly tacos
Tuesday and Wednesday is 2$ taco deal day
FYI
I moved from Oceanside about 10 years ago, and the Mexican food out here really sux. This place saved me. Takes like Mexican food should.
Thanks Gorditos and thanks Franko!!

Service was excellent. I ordered the fish taco combination plate. The fish tacos were delicious. While the beans and rice were cooked perfectly they were too salty for my taste. Also the fountain sodas had a terrible tap water after taste to them. I don’t know what it was but that’s the best way I can describe it. They gave us sodas that were in glass bottles in the fridge as a replacement and they were very kind about it. The bathroom needs attention but otherwise okay. Overall it was a nice place to eat but I wouldn’t order a fountain drink. Just get the bottled ones.

Great prices for great sized portion! I ordered the carne asada taco, would give five stars was it not for the meat being a little bland. The salsas and soft tortilla was great, and those will really make or break a taco. A big plus was getting tortilla chips, not usual in a small place. If I’m ever in need for a food on my trip b/w NV and San Diego, I will definitely stop back in!

Before I move from the Temecula/Murrieta area, I wanted to write a review for the one restaurant that I always ate at in my teenage years. I even delivered their food back in the days of a fax machine through a company called Dine-In Delivery. Some of us my age will remember those days that predated Uber-Eats and the others. My desire was to have one last taste of this icon for me on a personal level before I depart with an unknown (if ever) return date. I always returned to this little place when I came back to visit Mom, but those days are gone and I have sold the house, yet one last memory in it seems fitting so I clicked on the mouse and here we go.
Alright, well, I wrote that first paragraph before I ordered my food. I now have a film in my mouth that I can’t seem to shake. I took the time to plate the food and make it look nice as I always do. I figure it helps people see something other than a Styrofoam container and what the food can become. I know this restaurant has changed ownership and the part that first upset me a few years back was a change to the house salsa. What I got today is even worse than what I tasted six months ago. I’m trying to figure out as I type where to best start as I don’t have anything positive to say other than the rice was good.
Here is what I’m going to do in this rare case that I actually don’t have anything nice to say. I took a batch of photos as I love this place. Can it go back to the place it was? I’m not so sure as what I see is cost cutting at its best and business declines when you cannot fulfill the expectations of customers who once frequented the establishment. All of us in my 40+ age group know what things tasted like many years ago and that place was packed. It saddens me that someone destroyed this “Icon” of a restaurant. When I think that a taco from Taco Bell would have been more pleasing, there is an issue here. There are a million details I want to share about my thoughts, but I feel that this is sufficient to perhaps allow the business to make some necessary changes. First and foremost, change the oil in your fryer and filter it each night. If Del Taco can do it, so can you. I worked there so I know.
As far as photos go…you’ll figure it out, but I ordered the following:
12 oz salsa
1 bag of Chips
2 Beef Hard Shell Tacos
1 Beef Enchilada Combo w/ 2 Enchiladas (Rice and Beans)
1 Carne Asada Soft Shell Taco
1 side of rice
**For the record, out of that list above, the Carne Asada Soft Shell Taco was the best**
TOP REASONS FOR NEGATIVE REVIEW:
I still taste oil in my mouth from the tacos and the oil is old. One can tell by the horrible taste.
The Salsa is pretty much near its prime and watered down, with no heat at all.
The Sour Cream was curdled, and the Guacamole was brown and creepy to eat.
The rice, while tasty, seemed like a salt shaker fell into it.
The Enchiladas made me feel sick for some reason. Grease perhaps? Find a better cut of meat.
—————————–
As always this place does not dissapoint! The salsa has a good flavor and is enjoyable to eat on everything. Enchiladas are my favorite dish, but you can’t go wrong with other items either!

This place has is one of the few spots that’s been in Murrieta for a while! They have a really good deal street tacos on Wednesday and Thursday but my favorite thing to order is the wet burritos!! The customer service is always great here as well. No one is rude and everyone is very attentive. The food is done relatively fast and it is delicious!

A new find for me…service, food and pricing very good. I had the #1 plate today and I was here a couple of days ago and had a burrito. I forgot my drink 1st visit but today they took care of me by giving it to me today.

LARGE portions. If you get a combination plate, you will leave full. We go for the food it’s really good. Price have gone up like every where else, but still reasonable. Atmosphere doesn’t even matter.
