We went here for lunch yesterday 9/25 not busy at all and all of us had to take our food with us as it wasn't ready on time to enjoy the food there. Will not go back. Was very disappointed read more

Been here 3 times and 2 at the one in California oaks and both lack taste on the food. Service is beyond slow, micheladas are the worst we have tried the menudo which it was all watery no flavor, paired with the worst corn tortillas they could find, we've tried the breakfasts also, the combination plates and all have been below expectations. I got say though one of my girls did end up ordering the burgers and fries for the kids menu and the burger was probably the best think out of everything that we have tried. Do not recommend and won't be coming back. read more

Chilaquiles were very soggy and the red sauce was not spicy it was more on the tomato side and sweet.

Found a coupon so decide to give them a try. I'm so glad that I did!! The food was excellent! When you go in you can truly appreciate the authenticate look of it's Latino roots. The bar is to the left and let me tell you the bartender is very good. The waiter we had by the name of Gustavo was very professional. The only down side was that there was a little bit of a wait but thanks to our waiter we didn't mind because he kept up to date. If your anything like us, you will also appreciate the picture of that good and drinks. Please give this restaurant a try you won't be disappointed. read more

Went for dinner around 6:45, 4 adults and 3 kids. Took 15 mins to get drinks, another 20 mins to place our order and another 40 to receive our food. There were only 3 other tables in the restaurant. Food was awful, napkins and straws covered in ants, drinks were never refilled, and then we were charged regular price for happy hour drinks, $4.25 for a kids lemonade the server went ahead and added gratuity on top of our bill. We won't be back. read more

Yikes. Ants on the straws. Food took forever. HH deals were not applied to our bill and we were charged full amount. Had server adjust it and change was still incorrect. Couldn't get out of there fast enough read more

I come here all the time and I have received nothing but the best service. We feel like family when We come. Ruby has been my server a few times and she's so sweet. The food is always great and quick. It is a family environment or good for a little date. Either way you're going to have some good food! read more

Casa Jimenez - Mexican Near Me - Murrieta, California

Venue: From the street it is looks like a must stop place. If you know the area there isn't much else around, but that doesn't take away from the bright signage. everything looks clean and new. Parking is adequate, unless a store in the shopping center has a blow out sale. Service: Not corporate. It's a place where a regular can feel like a regular. That being said I'm not a regular,but I'll be back. Food: read more

This place has never been our go to but always on the list when we're in this part of town. Unfortunately the food and service has really gone downhill. I got the number 27 which is a beef burrito with chicken enchilada and Chile Riano. Both the chicken and beef were tough it tasted like it was boiled then just wrapped in a tortilla and put on a plate. Almost no flavor. The Chile Riano tasted more like the oil that it was cooked in then the chili. Our server was polite but kept forgetting to bring things. Won't be bake. read more

Very satisfied customer! Fast service great food. Friendly people. Breakfast burrito was great. Thanks so much will be back for sure. read more

Casa Jimenez - Mexican Near Me - Murrieta, California

It was our first time here, if it's good enough for our Mayor, it's worth a try. I found out that they had an all you can eat buffet for $13.95. Why not right? What I liked, that the all you can eat items are not getting dried out under a heatlamp, they come from the kitchen, fresh. They initially start you off with 3 items, then you order off the menu as you go. I thought, "I am gonna break this place". I had not realized that the servings they bring you are huge! I barely finished my food, I was stuffed! I ordered the chile verde, which was on point. The chile relleno, which was awesome (I think I am going to start with 2 next time). And finally, I had the chicken soft taco. It is huge and has a good flavor. The chicken is so juicy that it soaked the tortilla so, it broke on me. No one likes a broken taco! I ended up eating it with a knife and fork. I also ordered a small bowl of their soup of the day, which was albondiga soup (meatball). I was quite disapointed in the fact that it had no flavor. In order not to waste food, I added 2 scoops of the home made salsa for flavoring. It was okay then but, nothing to brag about. My wife ordered the fried fish, it was a good size tilapia, and boy was it good. In 47 years of life, and fried fish eater extraordinare, this was in my top 3 ever. The place is lively, the music was awesome, and the staff did great. They also have a full bar! Do I recommend this place?............. sure do! I would have given this place 5 stars if the albondiga soup would have had seasoning, and if they would have drained the chicken for the taco before stuffing the tortilla. read more

Honestly, this place is usually great. Idk if it was the cook's today or something, but we ordered the camarones al mojo de ajo and they came kinda raw. Asked for them to be crispy (again) and they brought them still raw with only a few cooked well. Flavorless and they threw away the garlic (this was after waiting for about an hour if not more). Didnt get tortillas with my order, or my drink, or the extra side of guacamole in ordered. read more

I gave it one star only because i could not write my review without a star rating but there should be an option to take away stars. This is the worst place I've ever been too its a shame because the locale is nice. The waitress was poorly trained and not very professional. The food was badly prepared and not presented well. I asked for the vegetables the picture showed and i could hear the waitress and the cook argue and talk bad about us...the paying customer. THIS PLACE SUCKS, SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY OR GO ELSEWHERE. TO THE OWNER...LEARN TO TRAIN YOUR STAFF OR YOU WILL FAIL AS A BUSINESS. read more

Food was ok most of the meat, chicken and beef strips were dry and over cooked. Salsa was good with the chip. Cost was a little higher then normal. read more

Came in with about 15 family members and unfortunately I didn't receive the service I expected. Ordered shrimp well done and came back twice barely cooked, tortillas came in after we were done eating and I wasn't given the extra guacamole on my plate. Order also took over and hour and it's not even busy (11 am on a Monday). The waiter was kind but the food really didn't cut it. I'd recommend the Murrieta location over this one don't bother! read more

Went here to celebrate a birthday. Thinking the atmosphere was as like the one in California Oaks. So disappointed. The food needed more flavor. The booths give no room for a private conversation and had to think about what to say since seemed anybody in the restaurant would hear me. Then noticed what the problem was. There was absolutely no music or joyful chatter. They actually have a music box that you have to pay in order to have music. I understand because of Covid, you need to make up money. But really? I am definitely never coming back or recommending it. If food had been absolutely delicious, I may consider take out in the future. But not worth it. Poor workers having to work in this depressing state. When I think of Mexican restaurants, I think of vibrant life. This restaurant lacked it! read more

Fantastic food and great service....First time visit and definitely will not be our last.

We go to the one in California Oaks regularly. It is perhaps the BEST Mexican Restaurant in Murrieta! When people ask me "What's good here?", I just say EVERYTHING. Gave not tried their new location yet, but if it's anything like the original, it will be awesome! read more

Several years ago my girlfriend and I went to Casa Jimenez when it had newly took over Los Cabos restaurant. We really loved the previous Restaurant's food. We had hoped that the quality would be just as good. Unfortunately we were let down. We still liked the ambiance and service was good but the chile relleno was very bland and the beans were a runny. We tried it again several weeks later and it was the same. After that we decided to explore other Mexican Restaurants in the area. We hadn't been back until a couple days ago. I was with a friend of mine and I suggested that we try Casa Jimenez to see if the food had improved. The service was good and a nice calm atmosphere as before but the chile relleno was still very bland and dry with little sauce on it and again the beans were runny. I guess after trying a place three times we will go to the other Mexican Restaurant that seems to be consistently good. read more

Out to brunch with my wife and my wonderful mother in law. I ordered the Chile Verde plate. My mother in law ordered the Caldo. She also got a small taste of Menudo. The Caldo was full of fat. My mother in law really hates to give a bad report on food, but she said she wouldn't come back here again. The waitress understood and did not charge us for my mother in laws full Bowl of Caldo she did not eat. She offered to bring my mother in law something else, but my mother in law was "OVER IT." read more

The prices were good. Food was basic. Service was good except I asked for the lunch special with salsa verde burrito with chicken (it was on the menu) the server told me the green burrito is pork. She said chicken doesn't have sauce on top. I was a little taken back because 1. It's on the menu, 2. You can't pour the green sauce on the burrito? I didn't know chicken was banned from having sauce on it. I probably wouldn't return. read more

Met the owner Felipe today and he treated me with the best service I ever received in my life. The best car it's in the murrieta area without a doubt. Margarita Monday's definitely helped out too. Make sure u come here they will definitely take care of you. read more

Me and the family were starving so we decided to try the All You Can Eat at this place. The food on the all you can eat menu was bland. The chicken and beef tasted the same no matter what dish we ordered. They do have plenty of televisions if you like to watch sports while you eat. The pork and Chile relleno were just ok. Unfortunately we won't be returning to this place. read more

Food was excellent. My whole family loved it. We were seated quickly and they had no problem seating our group of 10 people. Our waiter was Darwin and he is fantastic!! Ask for him when you go, you will not be disappointed. Will be back for sure. read more

Casa Jimenez - Mexican Near Me - Murrieta, California

Zero stars if I could ! This place is terrible! We usually go to the murrieta on Cal Oaks and nothing like it!! First off we were not even seated yet and we were already pressured and asked what we wanted to drink. Young lady didn't take notes of our order and she thought she could memorize everything so right off the start I figured it was going to be a bad experience! Our appetizers never showed up and they try to cover up by saying I think they left them behind let me go check with the cook. After 15 minutes they bring out the appetizers which obviously they forgot and food tasted all like it was cooked in a rush. Our refried beans tasted horrible (burnt beans) when we bought it to their attention the lady kept making excuses that nobody has complained through out the day and that this is the first time ever! I told her to please taste them herself but she refused. As we were complaining the guy sitting next to us a few booths down agreed with us that his beans were burnt and tasted horrible too! The food quality was bad and customer service was bad !! We did let them know we will never be coming back again and that we would be going only to the one on California Oaks. The lady started telling us that she heard that place was horrible and that people go there complaining about that specific other location which I laughed and said sorry but I'm not buying that! I do not recommend this specific location but I do recommend the one on California Oaks! Buyers beware! read more

Hands down best Real Mexican food in town! If you are in the mood for a Mexican breakfast you have to try the green chilaquilas, so bomb! Their salsa and chips are amazing too, great place for a hangover!! read more

Casa Jimenez - Love the quality of food. Temperature and spice just right. Drink just perfect - Mexican Near Me - Murrieta, California

Great staff and service. The drinks are good and the food is decent. Taco Tuesday Rocks.

Driving home from our Temecula wine visit and found this gem. The food was excellent. Chips were fresh and salsa was delicious. Had the huevos rancheros with green sauce and whole beans instead of refried beans. Our waiter Gustavo was amazing. He's so attentive and makes a killer mimosa! We found the prices very reasonable. read more

They do great breakfast, too. The Huevos Con Machaca was recommended and didn't disappoint. Chips and salsa included at your sit down. A good place for a beer or a bloody mary or a margarita, and plenty of TVs to watch your favorite futbol, football, or baseball team. read more

Well, they call it the best Mexican restaurant in Marietta, so I guess there are no good Mexican restaurants out here at all. The chips were not warm, literally were just taken out of a bag and put into the tray. The salsa was more like a red street salsa instead of restaurant style house salsa. The avocado for the guacamole was old tasting and old looking. And the horchata was the worst for tasted sour. After all of that, I just flat out wondered if they were getting rid of their old batch of food before putting the fresh stuff out to use. Just a heads up, if you want to pay $20 plus tax for a plate, you should probably go somewhere else. read more

The food here is excellent but when you order takeout one of the cheapest things on the menu is beans and rice and they give you the smallest portion that they can possibly give you.I've been to many Mexican restaurants and they always give you so much beans and rice large portions but if you come here you'll be lucky to get two spoonfuls.. read more

Pretty good food but that's where it stops. By far the worst service I ever had. Waiter walked past us at least 5 times ignoring our calls for him. Come to find out he is the owners son. Well Mr owner, if you only want your family members to pay money to keep you open that's fine. You will never recieve my money again. read more

Very disappointed after reading the reviews. Meat in our burrito was so tough, we couldn't chew it. Chips and salsa we good.

I've never left a terrible review but this place was by far the worst customer service, restaurant, management, I've EVER experienced in my life!! First off, we sat there for a good 20 minutes before anyone even came to our table. We ordered oysters on the 1/2 shell. When it came, they tasted very "fishy", not at all fresh. We ate 1 each and decided to let the server know. She took them away and sent her manager over. I told him that I didn't like them, they didn't taste right and he had the nerve to argue that they were fresh and that next time I should make sure not to order them again! What? Not an apology. Not offer us anything else. He was rude and extremely unprofessional. After that, the server actually dropped the check BEFORE we were even done eating, as if to say, hurry up and leave. I will NEVER return. Don't you just hate dropping $60 on a dinner that's subpar and service was even worse. We woke up in the middle of the night sick to our stomach. read more

I love this place. It's REAL Mexican food - like going to TJ without a passport. The margaritas are strong and cheap. The staff are SO nice. It is NOT fancy so if you want fancy go somewhere else. If you are looking for traditional, Mexican food, like Mexican people cook, this is the place. A great value. They make whole fish, with the eye balls staring at you. Ceviche with all the stuff you don't want to think about in it. The guacamole is fresh and the avocados are so good. No dieting here. It's a real mom & pop place. I love to just come, relax and have a beer. A lot of people are so picky these days. This place just has good food read more

Went here yesterday had the shredded beef tacos was great !!! So good in fact I am back today !! read more

Seems like an okay place to eat if you don't order the shrimp cocktail, or anything else that has shrimp. My dinner was okay, but my boyfriend was really looking forward to having that shrimp cocktail, and it was not cheap. They didn't clean the shrimp properly so they still had shrimp feces in them... he didn't want to say anything so I let them know about it. (In a polite manner) They didn't offer to make it right, didn't really have much of a response at all... so we paid and left. I think to be fair they should have taken it off the check. I'm still not sure if they know they have to clean that shrimp or buy shrimp that has already been cleaned. They didn't have an explanation for it, so we're just going to eat someplace else next time. read more

My family and I love this restaurant, good food & good service. We especially love the chips and salsa.
