mexican food in temecula, ca

We are so glad you’re visiting Temecula, CA, and we hope you’ll enjoy dining in the area. When you want some of the best Mexican food, we totally get it. So that’s why we’ve created a list of our favorite local Mexican restaurants in town. When you’re on the town and in need of authentic Mexican restaurants, we’ve got your back. Some of them may seem “hidden” or not very typical, but that’s what makes them delectable.

1. Vejar’s Mexican Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge

This friendly eatery is a great place to bring the whole family or the business associates. Whether on business or pleasure, Vejar’s is a good place to relax and enjoy good food and drinks. Not only do they offer traditional Mexican dishes—but they also serve American cuisine—for those who may want a mexi burger or an alternative.

2. Mariscos El Camaron Borracho

Locals call this “a good place to be.” We realized that’s because the staff is incredibly friendly and they actually make you feel like family. Their hospitality is that progressive. But you’re looking for food suggestions. We recommend the molcajeter, the tilapia with homemade sauce, or the shrimp and octopus tacos. The beans and rice made from scratch are an amazing addition to any of the entrees.

3. El Charro Cafe

For a simple stop-in, drop in to El Charro Cafe. We especially love the friendly staff at this family-owned establishment. And when you want to get your breakfast on, they’ll help you out with the huevos rancheros, or other early-morning dishes. For lunch or dinner, there are so many options that put us in a corner. We recommend the veggie fajitas, the beef gorditas, or the pollo tacos. But you’ll be satisfied with anything from their menu.

4. Mariscos El Camaron Borracho

For great seafood Mexican dishes, you might want to check out this restaurant. We suggest the tortas or any of the house special plates. If seafood is your thing, you’ll find a variety of options to choose from. Don’t miss out on the molcajete! The servers are accommodating and friendly while you enjoy chips and salsa.

5. Flying Taco

When you need tacos, and in a variety of flavors, this is your place. This family-owned establishment offers an abundance of traditional Mexican flavors, such as the carne asada burrito or the shrimp tacos. Enjoy a housemade margarita while you look over the menu.  Please remember to drink responsibly and in moderation. Do not drink and drive. Alcohol is for adults of legal drinking age only.
