The Bautista family (which owns and runs the place) are fabulous - shout out to Christian, Danny, and Alex - and the food is simply superb. You can't beat the homemade tortillas (go with corn!), the adobada (my wife and oldest son are literally addicted to it), the carnitas...everything is top shelf. Eat in if you can because the food is better when it is hot and made to order. I am about to head there in a few minutes!

Everything i wanted to eat was not available at all! I was sourly disappointed! Its not too small inside and it had a very small outdoor seating. Its nice and looks authentic inside. My server was really nice. She was a sweetheart! My cabeza taco was pretty good. The meat was very soft and tender. The salsa is very mild. It practically had 0 spice but it tasted good. The burrito meat was also bland and my chille rellano was pretty cheesy and tasty. I only gave this place 3 stars bc who doesn't serve birria daily?? Lol!

Yesterday was my second time at Espandín. Let's start off with the environment. Espandín is located…read morein Old Town Temecula and has a central location on the corner. With that being said, parking can be difficult because Old Town tends to get very busy on a Saturday. We walked in and it was not busy. The host/server told us to pick any table we would like. We chose outside, but they had just cleaned up the area, so our chairs were stacked. The host/server quickly helped us get the chairs down and place them at our table. The server was attentive and kept checking in on us. Now the food. When we were sat down, we were given complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were perfect and not overly salty or greasy. The salsa was very mild and had a great flavor. I ordered a 2 taco combo plate ($14.95) with carne asada and carnitas. The carne asada was just okay, it was cut into thicker piece, which is not my preference. It was also topped with guacamole, which was not the best I've had. The carnitas however were magnificent topped with pickled onions, cilantro, and salsa. The rice was not traditional Mexican rice and did have a bit of a crunch to it rather than a toast before cooking. The beans were just plain pinto beans, not refried beans, but they were good. While this place, is not extremely traditional, it is a great spot in Old Town Temecula with fairly good food. I'm looking forward to coming back again.

I noticed Espadín had tables and thought it was worth a shot. Also, it was getting really hot and I was ready for some air conditioning. We were seated immediately and our server got our drinks. We ordered a grilled Caesar salad, green chilaquiles with eggs, and guacamole. The guacamole was so fresh and had a great lime flavor. The grilled Caesar was the star of the show! The dressing was amazing. The chilaquiles were also good. I was a little nervous at first since they weren't busy when we walked in compared to the other restaurants on the street, but it ended up being a great surprise how good everything was!

That combination was outstanding. The views from the outdoor deck are excellent, and the upstairs bar is beautiful. Yes, you have to take the elevator up, but it's absolutely worth it--trust me. The carnitas taco was excellent, and the chile relleno was one of the highlights of the meal. Great food, great atmosphere, and a fun spot to spend an evening in Old Town. We'll definitely be back.

Our server was delightful, so attentive and just really good at her job. I wish I would have gotten her name. She was wearing a Mexico FIFA jersey though. The food was dynamite! Everything on my combo plate was fire. The taco, enchilada and the especially the chill rellenoes! The batter was so thick and moist it was awesome. My mango chili margarita was great too. Awesome place, go have some great food and service at the Mexico Cafe!

Service was super fast... almost too fast? For a graduation day I was surprised the place wasn't packed. I just get the soup it seems and the entree was already there! So the beans and rice got a little cold. The tacos were not that large but heck there was a lot of food after some nice chips and salsa. The chili relleno was the star. I took half of it home with the rice and beans (and salsa) and it made just the best left over burrito. The margaritas were super cheap and tasty - only $8.00 or so. My son lives just down the road near Pechanga so it's really close by. My question always is would I come back again? You bet. Great atmosphere, attentive service, good food and drink at a decent price.

Came here during a weekend while the game was playing and sat at the bar. Was very busy bit the server was very nice and answered my questions on the menu. The crowd was very lively and it was loud due to the excitement. I ordered the enchiladas with chicken and green sauce. I like to try different restaurants enchiladas, and thesewere very good in my opinion. Chicken was flavorful and not tough or chewy. The sauce had a nice tang to it. They came with rice and beans on the side which i also enjoyed. I love that they still do free chips and salsa, and they are very good too. I believe the chips are made in house and the taste very fresh. The salsa is not too hot, and i love the taste. I also ordered a pomegranate margarita which was good. It has just a slight pomegranate taste and didn't taste sickly sweet like some restaurants do. Also, it was pretty big! I'll definitely come back here to try more things!
