Tiffany B.

The vibes of this location is calming and relaxing. I love the photos and Christmas tree. Food is much better than Mexico Cafe. I came in for $2 taco Tuesday, options are asada & carnitas. I will say I'm so happy Liz suggested the taquitos and I'm happy that I could split chicken and beef so I wouldn't have to choose. The tortillas are very authentic and homemade. The chips were absolutely delicious. Service was phenomenal. I will have to remember to make the drive across town.

The service and food were good. The best margaritas! Only complaint is that it was so hot in the restaurant.

No employees, no menu no way to even pay my tab. Maybe this drinks on the house?

Service - 1 star - given an initial drink at the bar when I first walked in. Tim still going as I leave this review 18 minutes later and no one else spoke to me. Done my best to try to catch people back-and-forth unable to even get a basket of chips or salsa or a menu to decide on food. Hopefully somebody comes by so I can at least cash out and leave. Drink - 3 star - Margarita was not good or bad. It was just a mediocre margarita but of course it came obtains alcohol so that's always a positive. Nothing wrong with it but nothing special at the same time. Good - not Reed because I was never able to get a menu during my time at this is Aaron. This place is convenient, but unfortunately, the staff really made this a poor visit.

Drink was placed on the opposite side of my seat. Unreachable unless I got up.

I just had the most bizarre solo restaurant experience. My first time dining at this restaurant. My server brought over my drink and placed it on the opposite side of my table as far away as possible from my seat. I had to get up and grab it. When my hot plate entree was served a bit later she did the same. I asked if she could please bring it closer as it was very hot. She went ahead and grabbed it but this time she placed it in the middle of my table and not in front of me so I could eat. I ordered a chile relleno and beef enchiladas 3 item plate with rice and beans. Rice and beans were okay. The red and green salsas tasted like they came from a can. I wasn't served tortillas. They never came. When my waitress finally asked if I needed anything I was done eating. Tamarindo agua fresca is very sugary and not flavorful like it should be. Not a good experience at all. The restaurant was not busy when I was there which was just before lunchtime. I don't recommend it. Service is lousy. My young female server needs proper training. It is not my intention to be mean but she has the personality of a flat toothpick. I have never not left a tip but I'm considering not tipping her. Music genre is fun but is too loud you have to yell to be heard.

The food and service is excellent. My mom is really picky eater and she loved her cheese enchiladas rojas, the chips and salsa are excellent too.

We hadn't been here in awhile and we're so glad we came back. As of recently, Casa Jimenez Jefferson is under new ownership and it's made a huge difference! We loved the $5 margaritas, especially the Guayabera. It's also awesome that they offer $10 lunch specials all day long. We tried several of them and they were all great!

Marynell K.

The service here was great. I came during lunch time and it wasn't overly busy: The soup was a little on the saltier side but it wasn't bad.

Alyssa H.

The shrimp cocktail definitely is so refreshing and hits the spot during these summer days! Service was great, our waitress, Rosa, was so sweet and gave great feedback on what to order. Unfortunately we were told the air conditioning hadn't been working for a week so with this heat it's not ideal. Hopefully the AC gets fixed soon.

Amy B.

Cute little place. Came to sit at the bar and ordered drinks and chips and guacamole. The chips are homemade and came out warm, super yummy and a good helping of avocado.

Went for lunch and ordered a chili relleno plate with shredded beef enchilada, was quite possibly the worst mexican food from any restaurant that I can remember. The chili relleno was as dry as could be, looked like it was fresh out of the microwave. The shredded beef enchilada was dry as a bone and had virtually no flavor. I was hoping that with everything opening back up after covid the food would be better (as it has been in the past), but was very surprised any restaurant would sling this pig slop out the door, check that, i don't think even a pig would eat this. read more

This used to be los Cabos. When it switched ownership to Casa jeminez I thought there would be changes for the better. The new ownership really needs to step back and look at the help they have. Food delivered to our table not being what you ordered. You request extra sides (twice) and never come but on your bill. Our waiter couldn't wait to get back on his phone. I had to get another server to get his attention. You know who I'm talking about. It's really said because there is so much potential here. I bet 5000 or more cars drive past here every day. But each time we go here their not busy but can't get an order right. 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

The worst and most overpriced mexican food I've eaten. Four of us went to try it with a toddler. We ordered Chicken nuggets with fries for the baby it's so so bad and burned way worst than any fast food restaurant. And the beef fajitas was chewy, hard to bite has no flavor, no cheese/no sour cream/no guacamole/no side salad). Horrible food . Even the chips and salsa, Salsa tasted like out of a jar. It's really the worst food I have ever tried. Had to go home and make food after I paid 100.00 for food that your dog will not eat. Save your money and don't come here. read more

I think I preferred the tostada over the sope ( because of the base) but that's my personal preference. Will definitely add this little shop in to our taco rotation!!

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.

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.

I love supporting local, Filipino-owned businesses, which makes it even more disappointing to leave this review. I was one of the first customer in line when the store opened at 7:30 AM, and there were quite a few customers behind me after that. My order was placed at 7:44 AM, and I received my coffee and croissant fairly quickly. However, I was still waiting on the 4 cinnamon rolls I had ordered. Around 20 minutes later, I went up to the counter to check on my order. I was reassured that my cinnamon rolls were being made and told that it usually takes about 30 minutes, so I continued waiting. As more time passed, I noticed customers who ordered both before and after me receiving their orders while I was still waiting. At that point, I started to feel like my order may have been missed. I checked a second time and explained that I felt like my order may have been missed. The gentleman who helped me was much kinder than the first person I spoke with and was apologetic, which I appreciated. Finally, another employee, who I believe was the owner's husband, asked to see my receipt and discovered that my order had been misplaced. I received my cinnamon rolls around 8:30 AM. While I understand that popular items can take time, it was frustrating to find out that my order had actually been misplaced after I had already asked about it twice. Mistakes happen, and I appreciate the owner's husband for being honest about what happened and the gentleman for taking the time to help. I love supporting local businesses and hope this doesn't happen to another customer.

However this place just gave me the wow factor even through food delivery on GrubHub! I just had to jump on here right away to share! As mentioned I've never dined in and today was my 1st day getting takeout from here. Not going to lie, I was a bit skeptical I'm not sure why. So glad I pulled the plug! Ok the wow factor came how they were so brilliant and mindful during packaging takeout orders! Wow they definitely thought outside the box of how to take care of their customers and I'm assuming how they'd want their food delivered. So I ordered 3 salads basically; squid, papaya, and beef. All contains liquids. They put the papaya in a big closable container with a lid. Smart; you'd think everyone would do that. You'd be surprised who just dumps papaya in a styrofoam container! Anyway the squid and beef salads came separately from their salads. They made sure to pack the dry salads in a takeout box and put the mixed proteins in their marinades in another soup containers which was perfect and made it so easy to add on top when ready. I really love that idea! Not only that but the food was good. I really enjoyed the squid salad it had a nice sour balance. The papaya salad I requested Lao style to be the spiciest level 10 but it actually wasn't too spicy. Other restaurants definitely need to take notes because I really just had a bad experience with another Thai restaurant being so careless and my papaya salad sauce spilling not only in the bag but dripped all over my floors. You guys have a repeat customer in the area!

We've been enjoying Taco Tuesdays at Casa Jimenez Jefferson in Murrieta for the past six months and have always appreciated the good food, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere. It's been one of our regular spots, and we've recommended it to many friends. Unfortunately, during our most recent visit, we had an issue with our payment. Our group was split into two tables of four, and each table paid separately with a $100 bill. The change -- about $45-50 -- was never returned, and despite waiting around 30 minutes and trying to follow up, we were unable to resolve the situation before leaving. We understand that mistakes can happen and hope this was simply an oversight. We've always had positive experiences here and would appreciate hearing back from management to help clear up the situation. We'd love to continue coming for Taco Tuesdays and enjoying what has been one of our favorite local restaurants. read more

Went to eat lunch with my brother and father on our lunch break. Sat down for maybe 10 minutes before anyone even asked for our drink order. Another 10 minutes pass before the ask for our food order. Chips and salsa didn't show up for 20 minutes after sitting down. 40 minutes later and still no food. We ended up walking out as we exceeded our hour lunch break sitting there. Super unhappy with the service. No one came to update us or ask if we needed anything after we placed our order. Needless to say I went back to my job still hungry. read more
