Found this little gem on my way to from San Diego. The food was delicious. The chilaquiles were delicious, spicy but food & great service.

MALORY was an Amazing waitres!!!!! She gave us 2 complementary soups on the house!! As a Coffee lover I Loved their coffee. I ordered the "Que locura" appetizer for desert my wife ordered "la caprichosa" I recommend this place to anyone who loves MEXICAN food this is the Real deal coming from a Mexican cook (me) also try the 3 salsas. You will not be disappointed by their food or service. We loved their Menu Names read more

The menu had a lot of different items, including pancakes, sandwiches, and Mexican food. I ordered the Chorizo and Eggs. It was served with tradition Mexican Rice with peas and carrots, traditional refried beans with perfect consistency, flour (or corn) tortillas which were great. For me Chorizo and eggs is a comfort food bringing back memories of weekend mornings as a kid when my dad found time to cook breakfast for my family. He knew how to cook it right. I like my Chorizo cooked well with the grease strained out and eggs mixed in afterward to pick up the flavor but not all the grease. In my opinion the cook made it perfect. There's nothing like finding a good little Mexican restaurant that can put together your favorite breakfast dish. read more

Wow!!! What a little gem in Temecula! I absolutely love Mexican food and when I noticed there was a new restaurant in town I had to stop by. I've been here twice and both times the food was excellent! I forgot what I got the first time but I do remember I did get cafe de olla which was tasty and I also had dessert. The 2cd time I got a cabeza burrito which was outstanding. You can taste the love and pride in the food with each bite. This is truly an authentic Mexican restaurant. I also enjoy the atmosphere here because it's not like other Mexican restaurants in town, what I mean by that it's more family friendly because there's no bar. More of a calm setting which I like every now and then. This is definitely a must try restaurant! read more

This is the real deal. Very authentic and the best homemade corn tortillas!!! Service is happy and very attentive.

We came here today because the reviews were good and we were craving Mexican food. The service was super attentive and friendly and most of all the food was delicious. I am pretty picky when it comes to Mexican food as I have a pretty sensitive digestive system. The flavors were great and I felt great afterwards. I love the flavorful sauces on the table and the homemade tortillas were a plus. I would be a regular here if I lived in the area. read more

While house hunting in Temecula, I found this hidden gem on Yelp, and after two visits, I can confidently say this place is bomb! The first day, I ordered my dish with green sauce, and the second day, I switched it up with the chipotle sauce, both were packed with authentic flavor and absolutely delicious. This time around, I added grilled chicken to my over-easy eggs with a side of extra chips, and everything hit the spot. Speaking of chips, they taste freshly made in-house, not the pre-packaged kind, with the perfect crispness that tells me they were fried in the back. This is a family-owned and operated restaurant, and it shows in the great service and amazing food. Everyone is welcoming and attentive, making the experience even better. If we end up moving here, this will definitely be my go-to Mexican breakfast spot. I haven't had the chance to explore the rest of the menu yet, so to be continued... but if breakfast is any indication, I can't wait to try more! Highly recommend! read more

Love the food. Red chilaquiles are the absolute best. Patio seating is great. Staff is super friendly & attentive. read more

I don't think I need to leave a review, this town knows what's good! The service was on point and attractive wow. These girls be going above and it wasn't for the tip.

This place is a gem, it has all the qualities of an authentic Mexican food... Between the menudo and the unique burritos... it's a 5 outta 5 In my book. When I say authentic, I mean it. Nit your typical plates as in other places... so expect a different flavor. read more

We were overall happy with our lunch experience here ~ the server was attentive and sweet as can be and like others have said, it's clean and the food was authentic and good. We were immediately given cups of a simple (broth and noodles) but tasty soup and asked for chips and salsa, which came as a fairly small serving on a plate. We ordered the chili verde dish and chicken enchiladas. The fresh tortillas were great, meat was tender and sides of beans and rice were delicious .. my only complaint is for the enchilada sauce which had a pretty strong sour flavor. Maybe they add lime? Not sure .. but it was kind of worrisome at first because I wasn't sure if it was the chicken but it was definitely just the sauce. I would've enjoyed them a lot more with just a regular, savory enchilada sauce. We'll probably give them another try...very nice people and we want them to succeed. read more

Food could use a bit more seasoning, but overall, I'd definitely be back because of the warm welcoming and attention received from staff. Place is very cute and cozy, too. I hope this place keeps thriving read more

I live how inexpensive it is to dine here as well. I love this place! read more

On our way to Escondido too much traffic, we got hungry and started looking for breakfast places and on our way to another restaurant in Temecula Park Way, we found This Fonda Doña Loca, yes the name caught my attention and the 5 stars made me wonder, is it really a 5 star. Anyways their selection of food was amazing, but what definitely caught my eye was the mole chilaquiles, I love mole and my mother was the best in making it. I was surprised that the waitress asked if I wanted to try so we did and it tasted really good. So yes 10/10 Mole chilaquiles. My husband had the red chilaquiles(spicy) with meat on the side and he is picky when it comes to Mexican food. He loved it! Very nice, cozy place, felt like home, especially with the whole staff being so friendly! Must read their story in back of the menu! We will come back, we need to try the Menudo... so yes it sure is a 5 star restaurant! read more

Excellent food, excellent service. New favorite! I loved the nachos and torta we tried. Great place for kids! read more

Great food and service! The ambiance is family friendly. Would recommend their breakfast (which was what we had). Eager to try lunch next time. read more

This family owned place is fairly new. It's a welcoming restaurant that feels more like visiting with family for a home cooked meal than a restaurant. My husband and I had Jose as our server, he was so friendly, very personable and attentive. Because we visited during the week day they offered us a free small bowl of Fideo soup that was very tasty. To drink I ordered a delicious mango aqua Fresca and my husband tried their cafe de olla that I would literally go to this restaurant for this coffee alone, it was that good! We ordered guacamole and chips to start and the guacamole was freshly made and delicious. I ordered the carne asada torta and my husband ordered the chile verde plate. All the food tasted authentically fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend, it is reasonably priced and has great quality food, drinks and service, will absolutely go again. read more

Food is amazing! Service is outstanding as well. Recently found this restaurant and we can't have enough of it! Truly authentic.

Saw this place on Tik Tok and I gave it a try. The place is nice ( a little light on decor) and clean. Party of three and the food was good ( huevos rancheros was ok) so I will be back to try some other dishes. Cafe de Olla was delicious. My issue was the slow service and the wait. At one point over 2/3 of the tables were waiting for their food so my guess is that they need more help. I still believe it is worth coming and eating here. read more

The food was delicious, the servers were incredibly nice and attentive and the restaurant felt like home. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I've been searching for a good Mexican restaurant in Temecula for years -- and I've finally found it. Somehow, it's been open for months and I had no idea. It's in the same location where Baja Cactus used to be -- a place I used to frequent years ago. The food here is genuinely good. My friends and family all agree. I'd describe it as authentic, though I'll admit I've never been to Mexico -- so I'll let others be the judge of that. One thing I really appreciate: they bring out three different salsas to the table. The green one has a great kick. So far, I've tried the Chile Relleno Burrito and a few of their omelettes -- all well-prepared and flavorful. My only struggle is deciding whether to try something new or stick with what I already know I love. Prices are refreshingly reasonable. Portions are generous -- a welcome change from the shrinking plates and rising prices at so many other places. Service has been excellent each time I've visited. They seem to be doing steady business, and I really hope they stick around -- it's quickly become one of my favorites in town. Only downside: the lightweight plastic dishes. They slide around on the smooth table surface, so I often find myself holding the plate with one hand while eating with the other. Not a dealbreaker, but placemats or heavier plates would be a nice touch. read more

Food was absolutely delicious and the service was amazing. Both waitresses were very attentive on us and just so very kind. Definitely recommend this place read more

Everything you want and need from a Mexican restaurant. Really nice decor and vibe inside. The service is attentive. We tried the horchata loca (coffee + horchata) and mango agua fresca which were both bomb. The tacos are made with homemade corn tortillas. We tried the chicken and carne asada which were both flavorful! The huarache also comes LOADED with lettuce, crema, queso, and nopales which add to the flavor. Highly recommend this place for some authentic delicious Mexican food. read more

New and outstanding hidden little gem just off Temecula valley parkway! Discovered them after a member of the Temecula Talk Facebook group had shared that they had a great experience here, so my husband and I were eager to check it out. We popped in around lunch time on a Thursday so it was pretty quiet. We actually missed it as we circled the parking lot a couple times looking for it--but just look for the restaurant next to Yo Cheesesteak with the outdoor patio! From the time we entered their establishment until the time we left, the service was absolutely outstanding. We were able to sit wherever we wanted which was great cuz we have a 5 month old baby tagging along with us in a large UPPAbaby stroller that takes up quite some space but they had plenty of room for us here. As we waited for our drinks, they served us an excellent Mexican noodle soup with a salty, delicious broth. Very good! As an appetizer, we ordered the Queso Fundido which comes with mushrooms, onions, and chorizo. When she brought it out, it was sizzling and steaming and smelled OH SO DELICIOUS!...and it was! Every bite of it. And how could I forget to mention the homemade corn tortillas...mmm...so warm and fluffy and comforting! I'm seriously starting to drool just recalling how good they were. For our entrees, I ordered the Chile Relleno Burrito and my husband ordered the Steak Fajitas with cactus and onion. As we waited for our meals, our server brought out three different salsas in bottles--a green one, an orange one, and a red one. I immediately went for the green one thinking it would be the least spicy of the three, maybe a mild verde sauce? I was wrong! It was definitely the hottest haha but nevertheless it was flavorful and very delicious if you can tolerate the heat! All three sauces were very, very good to be honest but none of them are mild so this is your warning lol Man, oh, man were we stoked when our entrees came out after a very short wait! This place is quick, which is great when you're hungry! My chile relleno burrito was AWESOME!!! But I should note that it does have egg in it, which I was not expecting (it does say that it contains egg in their menu so that's my fault for not paying attention). I could do without the egg but it was still a super delicious burrito and seriously massive! I think I only got through a third of it and had to box up the rest to bring home. My husband liked his steak fajitas but he thought the pieces of steak were a little thin and maybe better suited for a burrito rather than stand alone fajitas. I agree, they were very thin but they weren't bad. We're excited to go back and try some of their other dishes! Overall, great new spot! I hope they do well in Temecula! read more
