I havent dined here in 10 years.....to speak the least they still uphold an outstanding reputation. Their staff is extremely helpful and courteous. I ordered the chicken enchiladas and a margarita. It was scrumptious and the beans and rice paired perfectly together. Stop by here for your afternoon drive by. Never disappointed. read more

We have eaten here several times on our way to Valleyview Casino. Don't expect anything fancy as it is somewhat rundown, so you won't be disappointed. You will probably wanna sit in the bar because its cooling system is better than the restaurant if it's a warm day. They always have a daily special of some type of Mexican food. The Mexican food is always good sometimes great with nice size portions. Prices are reasonable, but not cheap. The House margarita is made well and reasonably priced. They have a good selection of beers with Mexican beers on tap. Service can be spotty. Because of the location, they always seem to have a sign out looking to hire someone and always are running short of staff. They work hard though, and we've never had an unacceptable wait to get drinks or food. This isn't the spot you'd go out of your way for, but looking for something that might be convenient as you're heading out to the casinos near Valley Center it works. read more

Great rolled tacos!! Atmosphere is cozy very rustic! Service is fast! Call in your order to make it quicker! Cheese Enchiladas great too!

A girlfriend and I had lunch here. Not one other customer was in the restaurant. I ordered two tacos with beans and rice. My tacos were street size $14.50, my friend ordered huevos rancheros, $16.95. they asked her red or green sauce? She chose green. Her dish presented like slop. We both ordered tea to drink. We received the bill and to our surprise, they charged my friend an extra $6 for her already accounted for two eggs and $2 extra for her green sauce. The waiter said nothing about charging more for eggs, then pointed to a sign on the door [eggs may cost more...]. Her meal totaled more than everything on the menu! $24.95. How the heck do you charge $24.95 for two eggs and beans and rice, and to top it off the food was terrible. Our lunch was over $55. Never again!! read more

Great food! Wonderful family with great service. I haven't had enchiladas like this in a long time. The tacos were fabulous! I love this place! read more

We have been here the past two days if that says anything at all. We are staying at a friend's house in Valley Center and enjoyed a delicious dinner on Thursday of rolled tacos in a bean burrito absolutely delicious great guacamole great salsa everything tasted really good. Then today I decided to work from our friend's house and for lunch we decided to head back up we did continue to have the roll tacos and a cheese enchilada plate with rice and beans once again absolutely delicious amazing amazing real SoCal Mexican food! Both times we called in the food was ready when we picked it up but I think next time we're going to check out the inside there's a nice little bar attached and it's very ready for Halloween it looks very very cool inside the restaurant the ambience looks right Halloweenish! read more

We came up the hill as a last-minute decision. Reveles is the closest place to us for sit-down Mexican with a bar. Columbus Day holiday meal found us right here, right now . . . and then they started the karaoke. We sat in the dining area because of a mobility issue and happened to sit at the table that got all of the kitchen traffic. But that's ok, because we were never forgotten for any of our service, and the karaoke wasn't too annoyingly loud back there. A couple of menu items of notice. The Jalapeno poppers (first time we ordered) were not very enticing in their presentation, texture or flavor. Probably won't order those again. The Molcajete was a different story. I ordered the pork as the filling meat in the very hot stone mortar bowl filled with some great and interesting treats that surprised everyone at our table. The Molcajete served as the perfect table appetizer along with chips, salsa and guacamole. And where did they find these GIANT carrots. HUGE! Reveles' food seems to always hit the spot when needed. Perhaps it's the conversations we have only a few minutes' drive from our home. Perhaps it's because their food always seems fresh and delicious. The Molcajete and giant carrots deserve the extra star this evening. As we concluded our visit, we went to look at the bar and it was PACKED inside and outside. I guess karaoke is a thing here at Reveles, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. There was even a couple dancing to the groovy tunes. Dicks read more

I went to Casa Ravel's last night after not going there for a while because the food was terrible. I figured I'd give it a chance and try it again. The food was absolutely terrible. They ran out of food. I figured I'm gonna leave and go upscale to Taco Bell, Taco Bell's head and shoulders over this dump read more

Food is excellent, our favorite is visiting Alex at the bar. Alex is a excellent bartender and we enjoy his drinks and service. His Bloody Marys and Margaritas are awesome. We love this place. read more

Stopped by for lunch to go. Got the fish burrito and it was awful; first bite was a mouthful of canned beans and then the second, old fish with a stale hard piece. Also took about 20 minutes and I was the only one in there lol read more

Had dinner there with my wife. We had the chili Relleno's, enchiladas and tamales. The waiter/ host was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. Only thing was it was warm inside the restaurant even though they had fans blowing throughout the restaurant. Only suggestion would be to a mini split air unit may help the regulate the temperature to a comfortable setting. I still give them a 5 Star! read more

I had not visited this restaurant for years but decided to try it again as I moved back to Valley Center. Alexandro- the bartender is fantastic! The bar is clean and inviting. The food is very good. I typically order the chili relleno's and they are delicious. I also order carnitas often. I give the service and food 5 stars......the only area that I feel the management should improve on are the restrooms and for us sports fans a larger TV in the bar for sports......... read more

No service cold food going downhill quick I remember when this place was good dam Dems

The food is good but they are always a little slow serving you! It's a cute little restaurant

Service took forever being the first table of the day. 2 hours for lunch! Mediocre food at best. Burrito was half full and mostly tortilla, super nachos were super disappointing, fajita meat was microscopic, shrimp taco had cold cheese thrown on it, salsa was super thinned out/watery. Spend your hard earned $ elsewhere. read more

The restaurant has no hostess and was very cold inside. We sat down and had chicken enchiladas, margarita and a salad. All three items were just OK and way overpriced at $17 each. I don't plan to be back as it's overpriced and the quality wasn't good. read more

Not worth the drive!!! Not worth your damn time Way to expensive THE FOOD WAS BAD NO FLAVOR The drink were horrible no flavor specially the agua de Jamaica read more

Stopped here today after our trip to Bates Nut Farm. Food and service were good! The salsa was delicious! Prices were very reasonable. Overall we had a very nice experience. read more

Not too much to say about this place other than the burritos are pretty solid and the staff here is friendly. You definitely get a different experience from a traditional taco shop which is nice for a change. Prices are alright and it's pretty convenient. Will always be a fan of the pollo asado read more

Completely disgusting at best. We wasted $40. We usually go to El Rey but they were closing soon so we decided to try this place. My pina colada was completely watery to start. Complimentary chips and salsa was like a mini bowl of chips and runny salsa. I ordered what I usually order at el Rey cheese enchilada and Chile relleno. When it came out on a cheap paper plate it looked like it was smothered in watered down canned tomato sauce. I couldn't even tell which was which. Took one bite of each and that was enough. We paid because I know everyone is struggling with Covid and left but will never go back. read more

Stopped for lunch but had takeout and ate in the car. We couldn't sit outside on the patio to eat with our dog because a cat was roaming around the outside patio area. We ordered cheese enchiladas and they were literally cold. Not even warm. The cheese wasn't melted! Never again will we eat here. PLEASE don't go to this restaurant!!!!! read more

Well, it's 18th of April 2021 and unlike every restaurant I know of this one is choosing to stay takeout only. No lest that 6 signs pasted all over the entrance warning customers what to do as well as not . Don't know how their making it. You will not be allowed inside. That's restaurant or bar. Now food is average. Not bad, not great. But I would call 1st and see if their Open . Should have been a large light out front " To Go Only". We never would have stopped. read more

I love this place, the staff and food brings me back again & again. I remember when they were in Escondido on Mission Ave, they were excellent then and continue to be EXCELLENT. I can't say enough about the staff, the most friendly, personable, polite, PROFESSIONAL people. The menu is varying and you can't go wrong no matter what you order. A very informal atmosphere, come as you are. Beware the patio is a smoking section though. read more

I am giving 4 as the other reviews were pretty unreasonable in their expectations...and the food was good. First, I hate places that gave place to stupid covid protocals...maybe this one did, but they are clearly over it. The chips were absolutely fresh and excellent, but I heard from a friend they weren't so fresh and crisp a week ago. Based on extremely limited hours, staffing, it is clear this place wants to churn out some good eats but is financially conservative after covid...or even hurting. To their benefit, their pricing is absurdly low considering what food and staffing costs, and what we have all been experiencing both at our grocery store and normal restaurants price hikes. That said, the yellow rice was very flavorful, the mojarra frita perfect, avocado perfect but limited...but at least they were perfect...80% of the restaurants think a slight bruised, hazy brown avocado is ok...it isn't. The chile relleno was great! I really enjoyed the salsa..but it would be mild for most people that aren't me;) The service was scarce but friendly, and the crowds were scarce. Consider this in a more remote area when dining. I do believe 30 min to be unreasonable...I did not experience that, but these small companies need our support and can't consistently staff with inconsistent diners. I will definitely eat here again for the food when I am in the neighborhood, I hope you have as nice an experience as I did. Pictures next time! read more

Very Pricy and no quality for the price !! We went to have lunch and except super nachos - the food tasted really bad !! Either they need to reduce there price or make the food up to the standard read more

Absolutely overly priced! Made us wait 30 minutes minimum for four orders of 5 rolled tacos (sour cream guacamole hot carrots) extra not included which is rare for rolled tacos !duh ! We also got 3 drinks and one water and the bill came out to 80$ which is ridiculous considering the presentation! Don't recommend it to anyone NOT WORTH IT ! Writhing this review for my husband who never complaints ! read more

I honestly don't know how this place is still in business. I only went because I was joining my partners family for drinks and some food. Needless to say the food is very sub-par. One person ordered asada tacos; we all tried them and not one single person liked it, the taste was horrible. Neither my partner nor I could finish our plate (chicken fajitas). Hate to say it but I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

went for a birthday party for the wife 6 kids 6 adults luncheon adult drinks were poor no water served after about half hour waiting asked if we could have chips and salsa they didnt have salsa and said they would have to make some waited and waited for the salsa for the chips for 30 minutes and then the food arrived and still no salsa ??????? so didnt even have salsa for our food , service sucks big time every thing takes to long read more

I've tried Casa Reveles twice now and the 2nd time is my fault for trying to give a local business another shot during Covid when I already knew their food was not great. This time around, during a cold and rainy day, my wife wanted Albondigas soup and El Rey (which we love) was closed. So I had the not-so-bright idea to call Casa Reveles and see if they had Albondigas. Unfortunately they did so I ordered dinner from them. Soup, Enchiladas, and Chile Verde for $50. A bit steep, but let's support local right... The Albondigas soup was actually ok. I thought it looked store bought at first, but as I got into it, it wasn't bad. Not my favorite, but not bad. As for the Chili Verde, well, there was barely enough pork to make 2 small street tacos. The sauce was not a typical verde sauce. It looked like it had been mixed with sour cream or something as it resembled an avocado cream sauce more than a verde sauce. I guess it was green, just not the typical green I'm used to. It was not very flavorful. I ate 1 taco and gave the rest to the dog. My wife didn't really like the enchiladas either, but I didn't try them. My actual biggest complaint was the service. I called and was told to give them 20 mins. I got there in 10 mins because I was close by. They were very quick to take my payment and then I didn't see another worker for 35-40 minutes. Not a soul. No updates on my order. Nothing. If I had not already paid in cash, I would have left and just went somewhere else for dinner. in the end, my 20 min order took just under 50 minutes to be given to me. And when I got home (5 minutes away), most of it was barely warm. So where were they with my food all that time? Where were the workers? Sorry, I know Covid has been hard on businesses, but this place does not deserve your business. Drive the extra 15 minutes to El Rey or go into Escondido, or try one of the food trucks in town. I certainly will. This one is off my list permanently. read more

The prices are what you should expect in 2023 in any full service restaurant with a full bar in California. They have a full Mexican seafood menu as well as the other usual Mexican items, full dinner or a la carte. Covid was very hard on the business and they have fortunately survived. Like it or not, this is the best restaurant in Valley Center outside of a casino. read more

That was bad!! Worst Mexican food I've ever had at a sit down restaurant. Prices equivalent to an actual quality Mexican restaurant but food was worse than Taco Bell or Filbertos. Food served on styrofoam plates and we were not offered waters or chips and salsa. Mixed fajita plate had three pieces of shrimp for $18.... and food was cold.... read more

Food is okay, not the best. I do enjoy the chips and salsa and rice is good . Wasn't impressed with the soggy enchiladas , Margaritas are good though read more

Has some of the best tasting latino food as anywhere in california. Prices are better than most. Service is great and friendly. Definitely the place to eat if you are in Valley Center. read more

2.5 stars? Ya gotta be kidding me! Yes, there's definitely some hit and miss at this place. The tacos need to be consistently, better filled with meat but, I've had a lot of good food here too! The huevos rancheros are served all day and they are freakin' good! - My go to. The hamburger was regular and I'm ok with that at a Mexican food joint. The shrimp app was not too shabby, super spicy and a healthy option. They have a great happy hour. I've tried all the HH tacos and none of them disappoint, and their Cadillac margarita will melt your worries away. One time, I saw this guy order bacon wrapped shrimp with cheesy rice, looked delish! Next time... I have never been disappointed with the service or their chips and salsa. I've taken my dogs and sat in the patio area and the cantina shows all the sports! For food up here, this is my 'go to' over driving down to town. Think I'll order the Huevos Rancheros "to go" right now as a matter of fact! read more

I went in to order take out. I ordered two pollo asada quesadillas with sour cream and guac inside for my husband and 6 year old son. For me I ordered the bistek rancheros. Paid $40 for all that. Pretty pricey for a couple quesadillas and a plate. When I get home to serve my family I give my kid his food. They put all kinds of stuff inside the quesodillas that I did not ask for: onions, peppers, black olives, cilantro, tomatoes, all of which my kid will not eat. And there was no picking all that out since everything was tiny. Oh, not very much cheese and chicken in it. When you ask for a chicken quesodilla, you expect chicken and cheese to be in there and nothing else. I look at my receipt, they have us the Sergio's quesodilla. I ended up making him a sandwich. My food: bistek rancheros. Horrible! There was like 4 or 5 tiny, skinny pieces of meat in it. The meat wasn't even good: tough and chewy. The side of rice just tasted like salty rice. Good thing for the chips and side of refried beans... can't screw that up. read more

This place is terrible at mexican food, but great at ripping you off. 12$ for a chicken quesodilla that sloppy and ENCOMPASSES HALF OF THE TORTILLA. I tore most of the badly made quesodilla due to it being mostly tortilla, and it was a mishmash of guacamole, tomatos and 5 pieces of chopped chicken. My wife got the worst of it, it was a bistek rancheros, with 2 to 3 pieces of of finely sliced meat. Either this place was for vegans or there must be a meat shortage. It was 12 dollars for every meal and it sucked. check my pics out of this poo poo meal. STAY AWAY from this caa caa place read more

This is one of my husband's and my favorite places to enjoy a casual Mexican dinner! Tonight I had a beef tamale and refried beans. Plenty of food for me, after enjoying part of a cheese crisp and the chips and salsa, all of which were very tasty. My husband enjoyed his beef taco and cheese enchilada, beans and rice. read more

I was at this restaurant tonight and feel compelled to leave a review, as I stand in my kitchen shoving my face. Amongst several other things, newly motherhood has shown me sitting down to eat happens when it happens. Still, I must take a moment to give these guys a shout out. My husband and I get food to go from here fairly often. Going out to dinner really isn't our thing, although I tend to enjoy it more than he does. I was in there tonight with my 7 month old son waiting for an order to go I had walked in and placed. I am leaving this review because of the kindness of the staff. The gentlemen that work there, the owner included, are as kind and good as they come, and to me this is what small town living is all about. I would have stopped there, but the food is equally as matched. I recently stopped eating meat or dairy, and their avocado tostada and bean, rice, and guacamole burrito is incredible. Everything tastes fresh and without additives. Great restaurant for the atmosphere (they even have karaoke on Saturday nights), friendly, warm staff, and delicious food. So glad we have this restaurant in town. Much love. read more

My boyfriend and I have been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Definitely some servers we prefer over others, but that's never affected the quality of our food. I don't know where these bad reviews are coming from, but I guess I'm basic and always get the same thing when I come here haha. They're beef enchiladas are AMAZING though, that much I can say! I always get the 2 enchilada plate with rice and beans and almost every single time I completely clean my plate. My boyfriend gets the carne asada burrito and he finishes his every time too. Their chips and salsa are so good, and the chips are always fresh and warm! I love this little gem, and we'll keep coming here for casual, affordable date nights read more

I used to go here a long long long time ago when it was under different ownership. Casa Reveles feels like an "old school" place. You actually kind of feel like you are in Mexico in the country somewhere. We went here for lunch today after golf. They have lunch specials. The lunch specials consist of carnitas & tomatillo burrito, flautas, shrimp burrito, enchilada & taco combo, tostada, rolled taquitos etc. Each combo comes with rice and beans. As for the drinks, they have large size plastic glasses. I ordered a arnold palmer. We were the only customers at the time. As it hit 1:00 P.M. more people started to trickle in. Salsa definitely tastes home made. Chips were good. Wouldn't say that this is the best Mexican food, but its good for Valley Center and for the location that it is at. Apparently, Reveles goes off for Karaoke. This restaurant is a nice place to have in Valley Center and it has been there for a long time. Check it out sometime. read more
