    Just moved to this side of Temecula valley. Was in the mood for a cheesy enchilada. This local place just down the street from us was something we had never tried before so we gave it a try. Hubby had his usual nachos with shredded beef, I had an à la carte chicken enchilada with green verde sauce, a Carnitas tostada, the son had an Al pastor burrito and a Carne Asada taco. Everything was tasty and our server was especially friendly. Our son said this was one of the best Al pastor burritos he's had since we moved here over four years ago. My Carnitas tostada was super yummy. The chicken enchilada didn't seem to have as much sauce and cheese as I would've liked so next time I'll try the cheese enchilada. Inside was a cute little sit down restaurant next to a to- go area with a bar inside. Service was quick, personable, and welcoming. Wanna go back to try other items!! 3.5 stars

    I've lived in Wildomar for 11 years and have driven by this little restaurant so many times not realizing it was even there. Do not miss your opportunity for some amazing tasting food and outstanding service. It is a family owned business and is just super adorable inside and they offer outside seating. I will definitely be back. In the shopping center with cross streets of Palomar and Clinton Keith in Wildomar, California.

    Stopped in for some good Mexican food and had to try their margaritas, so good and not from a mix. My daughter ordered a Horchata which was also fresh and amazing. The chips and salsa are always tasty and fresh along with the salsa bar to try different flavors. My favorite is always the house salsa served at every table and the green avocado salsa. We ordered the chili Colorado and asada burritos smothered in their delicious red sauce. Both burritos are absolutely amazing! And the service is friendly and fast. We love the atmosphere and will be back soon.

    Don Poncho's is our go-to spot for pozole every Sunday--and it never disappoints. It's one of those decisions we never second-guess because the food is always on point. This is a true family-run gem. They're consistently busy (a good sign), but never too busy to be friendly and helpful. We usually grab our orders to-go and enjoy the comfort of their delicious meals at home--but honestly, we owe ourselves a proper dine-in experience soon. We especially love the little extras they include--like the falcons they bring out (yes, real ones... okay maybe not real falcons, but you get the idea), and the consistently great service that keeps us coming back. Highly recommend if you're craving warm, authentic pozole and a welcoming local vibe. 1996!

    That Real deal!! Best invention Don Pancho

    Horrible. Went there for the good reviews but the chicken and carne Asada in the tacos and burritos were chewy and bony.

    Didn't even know this place existed until it was recommended, and Los Jilbertos doesn't disappoint!…read moreIt's tucked way back with the ever ambiguous Taco sign with the Los Jilbertos logo on a window that doesn't face anything. But people know this place for sure, here just after 1pm on Friday and it's been a constant flow. Service was very friendly and food came out quick. The inside was clean and the salsa bar had 4 salsa options including a very chunky pico de gallo. I got the NAK Burrito, since they don't have the KCC they have down in Temecula, but the NAK seems to be the staple at every location. Much like the Cali Burrito but instead of sour cream there are refried beans to accompany the carne asada, fries, guacamole, pico and cheese. The beans make this burrito dense, immediately the weight made obvious this was going to be a filling burrito. Flavor was good, carne asada had a good cook, nice chew and good flavor. Fries were cooked crispy which I definitely prefer, great texture. The guacamole, cheese and pico were pretty evenly distributed. The beans were the wild card and they held their own in flavor. If you're not a huge fan of refried beans, probably steer clear as this is definitely bean forward in flavor, but I enjoyed it. Overall the location I would give 4 stars to, but maybe it's intentional that they maintain exclusivity of a largely local clientele? Hard to find but a hidden gem. Staff were well spoken and very friendly and diligent in their performance of responsibilities, easy 5 stars. The NAK Burrito is a solid 4. Very filling if you're hungry, but does end up being bean heavy. Value... it's hefty due to the beans, and a couple dollars more than the Cali burrito which I feel would be a bit lighter but close in volume. Flavors were good so definitely keeping note on a day that I'm really hungry.

    Got a nacho craving and pulled up to Los Jilbertos like it was a life emergency. Eight minutes…read morelater, boom... nachos in hand!! Not soggy, not sad, just crispy, cheesy greatness even to-go (which is honestly a miracle). Salsa bar is a DIY flavor playground, grab what you want, no judgment, live your spicy truth!! Parking was easy too, so no pre-nacho stress. Overall: fast, crunchy, and dangerously satisfying. Would absolutely answer the nacho call again!!

    So I'm going to give an updated review and if I could give it zero Stars I would I just left this…read morenasty restaurant.. I should have known better but I figured it deserved another chance.. when I went in the place was super crowded full of white folks like me which is usually a bad sign and a good Mexican restaurant LOL the chips and salsa were pretty decent I will say that the waitress recommended that both the lunch burritos were good I opted for the carnitas one which was a huge mistake it took way longer than I needed and almost my whole lunch break from work which nobody there was too worried about cuz it didn't look like anybody was worried about going back to work but that's besides the point I finally get this burrito out and it has a nastiest darkest red sauce with the real pungent non-traditional flavor so I bite into the burrito and it has the driest carnitas you've ever seen in your life it was like dry cat food and it had a sour and pungent taste borderline I think the meat was spoiled but it just wasn't nasty the rice and the beans were a step up from the frozen ones you get at Costco and it was just an utter joke they were trying to charge $15 for this burrito I had to wait at least 5 minutes because nobody was in the dining room even though the restaurant was full they must be s******* in the back to make new sauce finally I had to fly down another waitress and I told her that it was horrible and she said she tried to get it comped which I laughed because as soon as I told her that it was bad I walked right out the door this place is gross I don't understand why people go here and I just think people are so full of themselves they don't realize how nasty it is I would say 70% of the people and they were getting to go boxes to go home because they just don't want to be strong enough to admit that the food they just digested is nasty I hope this place goes out of business there was a short time where they were good for a little bit but that is far far away I'll never forget when they started to try charging a surcharge where your tip was included in the meal and they finally got rid of that but now after being gone a couple years they significantly raise their menu prices these people are trying to charge over 20 bucks for enchiladas and these dumbass people will pay it that is what's pathetic how something could stay here that long and be such a failure is beyond me it's almost so bad that I recommend somebody go and try it just so they could see for themselves and if you think this is good you must eat top ramen for dinner and this must be a real treat for you cuz it's nasty
