Great new spot. I liked being able to order from the counter and get food right away. Restaurant is nice and clean.

Ohh the bathrooms, they are quite loquacious. ( that means great ). The food is amazing, very authentic and the prices were very low. I loved the decorations in the bathroom. Sink was mind blowing. When we walked in the staff was very nice and loving. Felt like I was back home eating my abuelas food in my low income Mexican house. Going here was the best decision of my entire life. Coming back for the great food but mostly because of the bathroom. read more

Tried Del Norte for the first time last night with the family. Great decision! My daughter got a cheese quesadilla that was stuffed with cheese. The tortilla was fresh and just the right amount of crispy on the edges. My son ordered an asada quesadilla and it was stuffed with cheese as well but was also overflowing carne asada. Overflowing! My wife got a bean, rice, and cheese burrito and said it was delicious. I ordered tacos and got asada and chicken. The asada had a few chewy pieces but the flavor was deep and authentic. The chicken was fantastic and definitely gonna be my go to. The salsa bar was great and I preferred the spicy. Added a nice touch to the tacos. The fresh corn tortillas were perfect. Line moved kinda slow but the food is prepped fresh so worth the wait for sure. Plenty of staff on hand to keep things moving as quickly as possible. Decor is modern Spanish style and there are plenty of tables even with a small crowd when we arrived. Lots of parking and convenient right off Rancho Cal and Margarita. read more

Positive: Food Is GREAT. Customer service is awesome. Quality and taste is amazing. Love that they cook with beef tallow and don't use seed oils. Restaurant is clean. Great ambiance. Negative: No kid menu so your child will be stuck with a huge plate of food. When you walk in, there's a huge sign that reads "START HERE". So you walk over there and start there to order but then when you tell them what you want, they tell you not to order there and they send you to the register to order. Their ordering system needs to be simplified. read more

I have a standing policy of not patronizing places whose status is "Unclaimed". I figure if the owner doesn't care to claim it, they prob won't care if something is off. I went anyway. Look--the rice is great, and you can taste the beef tallow. Never had that before, but I liked it. A lot. The fries were similarly fried in tallow. The carnitas was fine. I bet a burrito with rice, carnitas, and fries would be great, though. I didn't get that. Instead we got tacos. We actually got one of each--including their backyard taco, which is a slab of "wagyu" on a tortilla. The tortillas weren't good, and fell apart. The guacamole was green paste with no flavor. The chips were stale. The hot salsa was fine, the others needed salt, and the salsa fresca was flavorless. They may win the award for worst beans in Temecula, but on second thought, maybe they'd just tie for last--or simply just place in the bottom 3. The wagyu wasn't wagyu. It was chewy, it was tough, and it was also "never again". The birria was devoid of any flavor, and any seasoning. The carne asada was bad, the al pastor had fat and no sweetness, and the pork verde was dry despite being simmered in sauce. The chicken was ok. There are much, much, much better options. The "never again" starts with the Wagyu, but ends with Del Norte itself. The place looks cool inside though, and it's clear that money was spent making it. Just don't waste yours. read more

Pretty cool new spot. Great lunch deals. Yummy guac and plenty of salsa options. I wasn't in love with their pastor, but the carne was delicious. I'm interested in trying their premium steak next time since even the regular was tender and flavorful. The fresh tortillas were delicious. The team was very friendly and helpful. Plenty of seating and they have a patio available for large groups/events. With the location near wine country, it's an easy spot to eat before or after a winery too. read more

Saw this place on IG and thought we should give it a try..... They don't use any seed oils & make their tortillas by hand. We were pleasantly surprised. Everything we ordered had great flavor. Staff was very helpful. Nice little spot for a taco fix. read more

Great location, beautiful inside, friendly employees, great potential. Food was good, pricing for two was about $40. We ordered 'the box' two tacos, beans and rice, came with your choice of horchata. Salsa bar is good, pick, salsas, hot carrots and pickled cucumbers. Tortillas are made fresh. This is a simple first time review, will need to try again, to get a better feel of the food options. read more

How on Earth... did anyone give this more than a one star? One star is for good portions... but the price matches it. Service was scattered. They asked us several times what we wanted in the loaded fries we ordered. Waited 20 minutes for a bean cup, but had tacos out first and they were cold by the time my family got their food. We ate chips and salsa ( chips were not free) because we were hungry... Oh and- borrow is NOT authentic. Their "birria" is boiled shredded beef with ZERO flavor, and my sons fries had CHUNKS of the birria ( see photo) NOT a repeat place. Full stop disappointment read more

Great Food, great vibes, authentic Mexican food that is way more authentic then Chipotle ever could be. They offer a variety of different proteins and choices. Their meats and veggies are fresh and off the grill. It's a big restaurant that just opened and the owners were extremely nice and helpful. The staff was nice, it has that hidden gem kind of vibe and I will be visiting whenever I pass aroudn here. read more

Horrible Mexican food tbh. I had high hopes for this place since they don't use seed oils. I got the chicken tacos. The chicken isn't even grilled it's watery and when the guy put the chicken on my tacos the tortilla got soaked. The chicken is in huge chunks, way too big for a taco. It didn't even have grill marks, it looked boiled. The guac looks like they bought it from Albertsons. The salsa is subpar. Aztek has them beat by 100. Won't come back unless they actually make good Mexican food. read more

Delicious food and amazing customer service. I dined there recently and had a little problem with my credit card. I went back to fix it and the Manager gave me a full refund and a complimentary meal. Meal was wonderful. Highly recommend. read more

My wife discovered their instagram page and was chomping at the bit to try it, excellent choice, food, and service were great staff was very helpful and guiding us into making great choices, subtle devote ample seating and very clean, the Al pastor was very very flavorful, chili verde had just the right amount of kick, met the owner she was super friendly. Will definitely return read more

Downgraded my review from 5 stars to 4 stars. They changed their military discount from 20% to 10%. I was kind of expecting that since i have never heard of a 20% military discount before...the main reason for the downgrade is because the first time i went they gave free chips and i was looking forward to having some chips and salsa with my meal but i rarely pay for chips.....i just used their free carrots and cucumbers to dip in salsa...but its not the same as chips...this was a BIG disappointment. (aren't chips cheaper than cucumbers?) It made the whole trip less enjoyable...I know fast food places don't usually include chips, but i thought this was supposed to be a step-up from fast food. I had the Al pastor burrito, and they put the avocado just on one the left side, so i wouldn't get avocado in every bit...i did ask if they could spread it out over the length of the burrito, and they did, but they should do this consistently without me having to ask? Anyway, i was being nice when i gave them 5 stars the first time wishing i could give 4.5 stars. I wish yelp had the option to give 1/2 stars, because this isn't a 5 star place, but i gave them benefit of doubt until my 2nd visit. If I do return (possibly not..i really was looking forward to the chips and salsa and when you pay $15 for lunch you want free chips)., I will try a different meat. I usually love al pastor, but this was on a rotisserie and was just ok. If they don't offer free chips, i likely will start going back to the other fast food burrito places that i like better but are a little further away from me...where the meat isn't pre-made and tastes fresher. Either way, i won't pay for chips at this place..i will just eat cucumbers and carrots and be disappointed. read more

I tried this new spot with my wife and two kids on a weekend. When we walked in, it took a moment to get oriented and understand the menu. After looking it over, we realized there wasn't a kids menu, but we decided to order anyway. We asked about the Magic Box since it was Saturday, even though the menu listed it as a Monday-Thursday special for $9.95. It sounded like something the kids would enjoy, though I do wish they offered a simpler kids option - maybe a single taco with rice and beans. We ended up ordering two Magic Boxes (each with one carne asada taco and one al pastor taco), a carne asada burrito, and an agua fresca. Total was just under $50. The food was decent overall, but I was disappointed with the amount of meat in both the tacos and the burrito. For the price, I would expect more. The beans were fine, but the rice had some hard pieces, similar to what you might find at the bottom of the pot. The salsas were good. I also received a free bag of chips, assuming it was because I added a tip to the order when I paid, which was a nice touch. I really want to like this place, but I think I'll give it some time before coming back. Suggestions: Increase the portion of meat A kids menu would be nice read more

My wife and I just ate here a few minutes ago. We were really happy with the taste of the food. The ambience is Mexican with a modern design. It's a clean look and efficient look. I had the prime steak burrito and my wife had two asada tacos. The food was good and tasted fresh. We also enjoyed the salsa bar. I hope they remain consistent. Will definitely be back to enjoy other options. read more

Absolutely beautiful restaurant! I loved the entire experience from start to finish. We were greeted right away, and the staff made us feel so welcome, especially when we mentioned it was our first time. The steak bowls were excellent! The meat was incredibly tender. My kids had the chicken tacos and absolutely loved them. The chicken was juicy, and the tortillas were clearly handmade, which made a big difference. The salsa bar also had a great variety to choose from. My family had such a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be coming back! I also really appreciated how efficient the service was, while we were dining, we saw several people order and quickly take their food to go. It's a perfect spot whether you want to sit down or grab something convenient. read more

Leaving a 3 star review to be fair since I didn't actually get to try their food. Service has a lot of opportunity... We called before coming to verify that the restaurant could accommodate gluten free/safe food handling and were told absolutely and the person on the phone was elaborate and adamant about safety. When we came in the staff seemed to act confused about what gluten even was and even when we explained the phone call we got a flippant attitude. Management should educate employees about food safety and basic customer service. Anyone with food allergies or conditions should NOT feel safe here until the employees are educated. read more

The guy building my burrito, used the sour cream that was empty, and a bunch of water fell on my burrito and he still wrapped it up. I asked if they could remake that one but by the time I could say anything the three burritos looked exactly the same so they would be to reopen all of them. I just paid $50 for 3 burritos knowing that I wouldn't eat mine with water inside. Once I found the one that was mine I threw it away. Super disappointed couldn't even try the food I paid for. Sanitation should be key. The guy saw the watery mush coming out, and he still chose to wrap the burrito and move it along the line with my other two orders. It wasn't even busy for him to not notice read more

When we first walked in we were impressed by the look of the place. Modern, sleek, new. After that things got less impressive. Why do they have three different places to order? There is the cashier, a self service kiosk and the place with the sign that says, "Start Here," which is in a different place than the cash register. After we had paid my wife was asked by another employee if we had paid yet. I ordered carne asada tacos. Flavorless meat, bland, not marinated or seasoned in any way. Salsas were good. Beans were creamy but I had to salt them as well. Not in a hurry to return since there are better options in town. read more

Stopped in to check out this new local spot. We were looking forward to try tbe food. Upon entry we were greeted by the staff. Menu if up above the ordering area, pretty straight forward. Went to order and they offered us complimentary taquitos. Those in our party that tried them said they were very bland and over cooked, the beef inside was hard. We ordered a few items: the chicken and carne tacos, nachos and a side of rice and beans with horchata and lemonade. The chicken taco was ok, seasoned a little bit, had to load up with some pico at the salsa bar. The carne one was my least favorite as the meat was flavorless and very chewy like it was all fat. The nachos were chips sprinkled with cheese kinda melted and the same flavorless meat. The rice and beans were ok as well. The horchata tasted very grainy and almost like it was from a package. The dining area was big and the decor was interesting ,lots to look at. We may go back to see if it was a fluke or to try the pork, maybe thats where the flavor is. read more

So my 2nd time around. Tried the PREMIUM "waygu" steak taco. Duhhhh, the owner needs to check in w/the supplier. Better still, fly to Japan and Texas for some REAL waygu steak and see what you think. Waygu steak is neither gristly, fatty nor is it chewy. I had sides of black beans and rice. They were both cold; lukewarm. Surprising as I know Le Crueset pots hold heat nicely. I cook in these at home. Should I return, not sure 3rd time will be a charm but definitely will NOT be trying the STEAK or BEEF of any kind here. As one other reviewer says, hopefully they will step up their game since recent grand opening. Such a beautiful, esthetic looking place to have such low quality, tasteless food. Not at these prices !!! read more

This place seems like it's going to be a great edition to Temecula! Decorated so cute inside with good music playing and friendly staff. The food was fresh, it's like a chipotle but with more authentic food. The meat was super flavorful and prepared really well. Homemade tortillas and friendly service. The horchata and Jamaica were delicious. The salad bar was clean and had great options. All the salsas were fresh and flavorful. I liked that they had fresh limes, onions, cilantro, carrots, and radish. I got the carne asada and al pastor burrito and it was awesome. The refried beans were super good, I'm picky about that so I was impressed. 10/10 will be coming back. read more

Staff was super friendly management interacted with me almost immediately to check in and ask if I needed anything. Food could be average and I would go back for the service.

Good place if you're looking for food without the extra "ingredients" like preservatives, food coloring, etc. read more

Great warm, fresh and tasty food. More of a homemade style. Service was great and ambiance is nice. Highly recommend!

Came here for lunch and was excited to try this new spot. The potato tacos were really good, super flavorful, crispy, and you can tell the tortillas are freshly made.
