I found this place by chance. It is not bad. The personal is friendly and nice. Food is ok. But it is definitely not "authentic Mexican". My wife likes it and that is good enough for me. My issue is that they charge you for every single thing. One extra scoop of ranchero sauce for $1.99. Really? Come on?! And you expect to keep costumers this way. The food is already expensive as it is. They really need to stop nickel and dime every single thing. They don't even give you salsa and chips with your to go order. Come on!

Amazing service . Girl by herself was working every which way ... was happy to tip her 50% of our meal. Food was amazing chips and salsa, beef , guac , the crunch of the flautas, the beans !! And husband loved the California burrito. Definitely will be back

Restaurant is small but very homey and clean. The food is amazing and very nice presented. One of my favorite places in town!

Food was so GOOD ! The waitress was kind, quick , and attentive during my visit ! The enchiladas were delicious and not dry ! Rice and Beans were very tasteful ! We came on Wednesday afternoon , so it was pretty empty. It was clean , and cool on a hot summer day. I could have did without the guy who sprayed his whole bottle of Armani on him , LORD ! Great job La Morenita ! I will be back

Also the crayfish and the shrimp were cooked well and not overcooked. We got it with garlic butter and there was plenty of butter and garlic. The service was good and our server was attentive but not hovering.

They will sit people that are not colored in seats immediately then when you ask, they disrespect you, tell you that you can leave didn't bring the manager, the manager disrespect you and then actually give you a seat by the time you get seated, you will not see your food for another two hours. They will then disrespect you once again and again the food was very great, but who knows what they did to your food after all that time, it's really expensive and it's just not worth away if you are of colored, do not come here because they would not serve you they would disrespect you. They would make you wait and again who knows they might do something to your food to place is actually very disgusting in some areas and again the manager, I'm pretty sure even the owner of the building and all of the staff members are very highly disrespectful and they did that on my grandmother's birthday and she literally just turned 70 so be aware of where you go because this is not the place

I grew up going to Steer & Stein in Pasadena. We use to go as a family on Monday nights for the…read moreweekly special, Fried Chicken. It was some of the best fried chicken I've had to this day but they closed years ago. And I moved to Temecula. So it's been on my list to go this location for a while but it's still a drive so when my son had a golf tournament at Soboba I had to make plans to take him here. As soon as I walked in I felt like I was on a move set of my childhood. The layout and furnishings were exactly like the location in Pasadena forty years ago! From the waiting area to the hostess stand to bathroom back in the far corner. Even the way the booths and tables were organized. It has a very western Americana vibe to it. The service was exceptional. The kind of service you only get in long established family owned restaurants that employ people for decades. Our waitress was great and attentive and kind. We got the onion ring stack to start. It was great but next time I'll get the zucchini fries which looked amazing. For our entrees we got the stockyard, burger and split the sides. Backed potato, salad and chili soup. The chili soup was t as good as the one I grew up going to but still passable. The backed potato was awesome! And the stockyard was great as well. Served on a sizzling metal plate everything stayed hot the whole meal. The burger was good but would probably opt for something else next time. And the Texas toast... forgedda bout it! Too bad this place doesn't have the fried chicken. I'm sure the recipe is somewhere. Wink wink...

Absolutely awful from start to finish. The food was…read moredisgusting. The soup was sour and tasted rotten and should never have been served to a customer. Everything else we tried was equally bad and clearly low quality. It felt unsafe to eat. The customer service was just as bad as the food. Staff were rude dismissive and completely uninterested in fixing anything. When we complained we were ignored. No apology no concern and no accountability. This place has no business serving food. Do not waste your money or risk getting sick. There are far better options anywhere else. ill be checking to make sure this well deserved bad review stays this time. if not i have no problem reposting obviously since this is the 7th time.
