    I came here because I had a conference nearby and I didn't want to eat conference food. My friends had already ordered ceviche and chips and salsa were at the table. I also got myself a prickly pear margarita, which to me, wasn't the greatest. I had a few sips and that was about it. The ceviche was nicely plated but could've used some additional seasoning. Although fresh, it was quite bland to me. It was served with ample amount of tostadas. I had the pozole, which had some meat but a lot of hominy. It comes with a side of tortillas. It had more flavor than the ceviche but I would've liked to see more toppings on it with more meat. Service was pretty good, we were regularly checked up on. The ambiance is as you would see in a typical casino restaurant, it's open with TVs to watch sports.

    1882 is located on the first floor in Pechanga resort. We are here since we had a room and it was pretty good. The service was too notch and the food was good (not great).

    On our last day at Pechanga, we decided to grab something to eat at 1882 before heading back home. Once we arrived the hostess sat us in the bar area so I could watch the game while grubbing! The restaurant was clean, spacious with two sections (a dinning area and bar area) and it wasn't too busy so the service was pretty quick. We started with complimentary chips and salsa and the oxtail empanadas and they were delicious! They were so good we ordered another round of them. I ordered a carne asada and chicken taco with rice and beans, which were very good. The tortillas tasted like they were freshly made in house but when I asked they said they get them elsewhere but they are very good. My kids got a been burrito and the chicken tacos. My oldest wasn't a fan of the burrito and only wanted the oxtail empanadas, while my youngest enjoyed his chicken tacos. My wife ordered cheese enchiladas and enjoyed hers. Lastly the Jamaica was fresh and if I recall they do make that in-house. They wasn't free refills but it was so good, we had a second round of that as well. Overall, 1882 was solid and we will eat there the next time we're back. I recommend checking it out if ever at Pechanga and craving some Mexican food. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros

    We had dinner at 1882 Cantina in Pechanga and the food was amazing! I had the beef and chicken enchiladas along with beans and rice. Outstanding! The service was amazing as well!

    Another great experience. Lately, many restaurants have dropped the ball on service, but not here. Drinks never empty, chips always full, delicious salsa (at no charge with meal) and friendly staff. Fish tacos are on point, very generous serving. One on the best mexican rice sides I've had as well. Taquitos (chicken) top notch. Big ol' burritos for the fans too! All servings are enough to fill even the hungriest diners! Stop by, grab a beverage, enjoy chips and salsa and a great meal.

    Ambiance is contemporary and an open spacious feel. Chips and salsa was tasty and generous portion. Ordered the Cheese Enchiladas combination plate and Oxtail Empanadas. The enchiladas came out barely warm and sent back for correction. They were very gracious and apologetic about it. It came back fresh and hot as it should be. The Oxtail Empanadas were of appetizer portion, with 4 pieces. They were mediocre, wouldn't order again. Service was excellent and the best part of the evening along with the large beer on tap.

    A good spot to meet friends before heading out to the casino floor. Food was good and the service was very pleasant. CritDicks

    Pechanga actually has a decent Mexican restaurant and I suggest you try it. I love their fajitas, it's my go too. It's not greasy and it's full of meat. The service was absolutely amazing tonight. Our waitress was on point and I adored her sharing details about the menu. The ambiance is casual and I like the setting.

    Came here directly after a concert next door and was seated right away. The service was excellent as they constant checked up on us. The chips provided were an excellent snack while waiting for our meal. They had a live band playing and was very pleasant to listen to. It was an enjoyable experience after a long concert.

    Most of the time I visit Pechanga, it's not for the food. Actually, that's pretty much all the time. While on our stay at the hotel, we were debating where to go for dinner, as there were quite a few options available in the area. While the food is a bit on the pricier side, there is good taste and quality. 1882 Cantina is thankfully located in the hotel lobby hall, near the gift shops, away from the hustle and bustle of the casino. It's great that Pechanga is a majority smoke-free casino, as many of the restaurants at Pechanga don't have full-wall partitions, so you can actually enjoy the flavor of the food itself. That being said, it gets cold in the lobby, and in the restaurant. The vents felt like they were on full blast and centered directly on me. Something to keep in mind. Salsa and chips are served, salsa isn't too spicy, but nothing to write home about. for appetizers, we chose their oxtail empanadas and the taquitos. While I'm not fond of empanadas, everyone else liked the flavor. The taquitos though, were very good. the toppings complemented the dish very well, and the portion size felt just right. The carnitas plate was full of flavor. The meat was nice and juicy, not dry, and the rice and beans didn't taste like paste...like some establishments serve. I really liked the beer battered fish tacos - mahi mahi. The filets were nice and meaty and everything within the taco meshed together well. We rounded out dessert with an order of their churros, 6 pieces with three different dipping sauces. Occasionally they have live musicians perform, so you may struggle to have a conversation over the noise.

    If you're looking for a brunch fiesta that slaps harder than your tía's chancla, 1882 Cantina at Pechanga Resort is the spot!! We rolled in hungry and left in a full-blown food coma.... no regrets!!! Yummy chips & salsa while you wait for your food. Here's the delicious lineup we tackled: * Surf & Turf Burrito (bc why choose between land and sea? Let's have both!!) * Chicken Tortilla Soup (classic comfort w a tortilla twist) * Pozole (like a warm hug from abuela) * Huevos Rancheros (sunny-side up and full of sass) * Carne Asada Torta (aka flavor-packed food baby) * 2 Tacos Plate (Street food in an upscale version) Everything was fresh, flavorful, and worthy of a standing ovation... if we could stand after eating. Service? Friendly and attentive. Ambiance? Classy, w just enough spice. Would we go back? Absolutely!!!!

    Checked out 1882 Cantina before heading to a few wineries in the area, a great stop for filling tacos and margaritas! They have a nice selection of tacos. We had the carne asada street tacos, chicken tacos, fish tacos, and taquitos. The tacos were served with frijoles refritos and Mexican rice, very generous plates. The tequila lime vegetables with citrus chili butter, fine herbs, and seasonal veggies were actually the highlight of our group. Fresh, zesty, and perfectly cooked. Order them! Everything was flavorful and came out hot. The complimentary chips and salsa were also delicious and filling, the chips were warm, and the salsa was fresh and vibrant. The margaritas were tasty, and so was the Paloma. Service was friendly, quick, and consistent, even though it was pretty busy. Our server offered excellent recommendations, which we appreciated. Reservations are encouraged; even with one, we waited a bit, but it was well worth it. We enjoyed a relaxed lunch and never felt rushed. It's casual, and the relaxed atmosphere is perfect for unwinding. The restaurant is one of many at Pechanga Resort Casino, tucked inside the resort's atrium near hotel registration and close to the resort tower entrance, very convenient if you're staying on the property.

    Chilean Sea Bass Veracruz
    Brittney S.

    The staff is extremely kind and helpful! I absolutely loved the decor and lighting of the restaurant it's perfect for any meal. I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass Veracruz and a Mangonada Mocktail. The mangonada mocktail is refreshing and has the perfect amount of tajin blended in; i did put the big stick in as well. For the sea bass i was extremely impressed with its preparation, it's got a smoked flavor and is served on top of a banana leaf. The flavor of being smoked was delicious and was throughout the veg and potatoes. Definitely a great restaurant to check out!!

    Chipotle Eggs Benedict for the win!

There's red pepper flakes in it. I didn't read it was slightly spicy, otherwise would have done without it. The chicken was the best thing from that dish. My husband enjoyed his bread-less burger! Ginger ale taste good with anything! We even got the special water from the springs.. Bathrooms are super tight! Why do they make bathroom doors to open inward?'!! I guess since it's a right squeeze don't want it to hit someone coming out. Btw this is a favorite spot for the locals! It got super busy after 6pm!

Anytime you try a pre-fixe menu, you never know what you'll be served but dish after dish, we were impressed by the beautiful presentations and well balanced dishes. Loved and appreciated the chef's creativity of combining French and Asian flavors into every dish. I also chose a wine pairing option for drinks, and was introduced to a beautiful Sauvignon Blanc and Rose. Overall, it was a memorable evening with great food and service, and we are looking forward to visiting them again when they change their next season's menu with our friends.
