    Beginning of the 18oz ribeye with eggs, hash browns, and sourdough toast, with a side of sweet potato pancakes.
    Aaron P.

    This place is off the charts honestly, wish we had one back east. The food was amazing, steak cooked to perfection, eggs were great, and the hash browns were most likely the best thing about It. Not sure what they put on those but they were really good. The inside reminds you of an 80's style diner which brings good vibes. Had Hailey as a waitress and she was so nice and got me everything I needed and more. Definitely gonna be a spot I make a point to go to when I'm out here.

    Star of the show: Tri-tips for the win!

    We are BACK again and this time we brought COCO our 10 month Samoyed with us. This is her second time here and she loves the SPACIOUS and QUIET outdoor patio but this time it wasn't so quiet because... SONG of the DAY to play along to this YELP REVIEW: That's the Way (I Like It) by KC and The Sunshine Band... Richie's, that's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh Tri-tips the way, uh-huh, uh-huh I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh Richie's breakfast, uh-huh, uh-huh I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh... TRITIPS: 10/10 Is the STAR OF THE SHOW. We like to order it with egg white scrambled eggs and biscuits with jam... COCO was a bit scared of the FANS today so we had to move her to a different table that's farther away. But, the fans help keep us cool and the flies away!!!! SERVICE: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PARKING: Plenty!!!!!! ROCK ON RICHIES REAL AMERICAN DINER!!!!!!!!

    Giant Cinnamon Roll
    Betty H.

    This clean and organized retro-style diner, is located in the 'Villages @ Paseo del Sol' shopping center on Temecula Pkwy (Hwy 79 South) and Camino Del Sol, by the Home Depot with plenty of parking. Fun, 50s-inspired decor, with classic booth and counter seating. There's also outdoor/patio seating. We enjoy the Murrieta location, but we wanted to try this location as well. We visited for breakfast in need of coffee. My mom loves that her senior meal comes with a hot cup of coffee included. I had their "Pride of the Diner #1" which consists of two eggs, strips of perfectly cooked bacon, homestyle potatoes, and a fresh and fluffy cinnamon roll. The included premium Colombian coffee was fresh, smooth, and rich. Everything tasted really good! Service was great. Roxana and Stella were very attentive making sure our coffee cups were never empty. You pay your bill at the register when done. I love that they have a wood smoker in the front. Definitely coming back for lunch or dinner.

    Had to try dinner here at Richie's. Service was good. BBQ chicken was good, Tritip was dry, and ribs I did not touch. My son's grilled chicken was dry. The hamburger was okay. I prefer the breakfast here. It was busy in the restaurant.

    Restaurants normally don't serve a piece of garlic bread like this. It looks like somebody pinched or took a bite off of it.

    A little disappointed with Richie's. My sausage gravy wasn't hot at all, and they can be more generous when serving it with biscuits. My wife didn't touch her garlic bread because it looks like someone pinched a piece off of it. Our server was good though, very nice and attentive. Dining area is the same, comfy and clean.

    Saturday, 12-14-2024: Our son was visiting us today so we decided to eat at our favorite diner. Our server, Erica was very exuberant and hospitable. She took our orders right away. Hubby opted for a chicken fried steak, I only wanted chicken noodle soup, and our son wanted the sourdough burger. Everybody enjoyed the meal except for me. This was the worst chicken noodle soup I've ever tasted. The noodles were thick & starchy, the chicken meat looked like it came from a can, and the broth itself did not taste good. It did not taste fresh, which I mentioned to Erica. She told me they changed the recipe. They need to change it back because the soup used to be so tasty & fresh with shredded chicken & vegetables. She was kind enough to take it off the tab. Eh, I wasn't really very hungry. Thank you Erica! The diner was adorned in festive Christmas decor & done well. The interior is always clean & bright. I just won't order the chicken noodle soup the next time!

    Can't go wrong with diner food! Other brunch places were way too packed this particular Saturday but Richie's was able to seat my large party right away. Our server was super darling and went above and beyond for us. Food was average diner food but they were really accommodating to our requests. Loved the aesthetic of the place as well.

    Amazing desserts!
    Allie G.

    The entire staff is super friendly as soon as you enter the room. It is truly a diner. Leaves Denny' in the dust. The menu has so many choices there has to be something you want. Leave room for dessert!

    George had top notch costumer service!
    Maggie F.

    It was my birthday and our anniversary - so the perfect cinnamon roll was the mission! A friend recommended this place , so we thought we'd give it a shot. George was out on the grill, paused what he was doing to welcome us and open the door. Once he found out it was our first time he briefly have us a rundown of what to expect. His customer service was top-notch the whole time! We were not planning on getting any food, just pick up the dessert to-go. Well we ended up ordering some food to go as well. As we waited, George showed us some steaks he was cooking up as an example of what to expect next time we stay to dine. He THEN proceeded to give us two strawberry milkshakes ON THE HOUSE. I was literally I shock about how kind he was being to us. What's neat is he had and still has no idea what this weekend was for us! The place was super cute and fun on the inside. The whole staff was extremely kind, helpful and welcoming. We will 100% be back with the rest of our crew very soon!

    Eggs Benedict with hash browns and coffee
    Leslie M.

    Great coffee and a full menu. So hard to decide! A Belgian Waffle or Eggs Benedict? The Country Boy with biscuits and gravy or French Toast? Eggs Benedict for the win. How perfect were they? Eggs, poached just as they should be, the hollandaise was very good and the English muffins had the right amount of crisp. I order Eggs Benedict almost everywhere, and it's surprising how many times it gets messed up. But Richie's did a great job. Cute place, lots of booths, efficient and friendly service. We'll be back!

    Turkey roll. Terrible disappointment
    Jim C.

    I will never eat at Ritchie's Diner ever again. I live alone so I ordered two turkey dinners to go. I wanted to watch football and have leftovers for later. I picked it up the dinners at half time. It was a terrible turkey breast roll, instant mashed potatoes, microscopic portion of cranberry sauce, canned green beans and dry stuffing. The best part was the biscuit. It was par to a TV dinner at the grocery store. As a restaurant, If you can't make a traditional real turkey, real mashed potatoes and stuffing you shouldn't be advertising Thanksgiving dinners at a diner. It's as unAmerican as you can get, probably made by Mexican kitchen help! What a disappointment!

Mind you, if we hadn't pointed out that we were missing 2 plates, they would have never told us. We had to tell them. Their manager came out and said they told us as soon as they found out, which is a complete lie. If that were true, the server wouldn't have asked if we needed anything else while leaving two people empty-handed, and they actually would have offered to replace the meals with something else. It wasn't until we complained that they finally did what should have been done in the first place. ​They should have known 2 plates were missing the second the kitchen started prepping only 3 out of the 5 meals on the ticket. The disconnect between the kitchen, servers, and managers is abysmal. For what you pay here, it is absolutely not worth the headache.

Thats just silly. Just get the bigger can and charge me 3 bucks for it. Thats fair in my humble opinion. 4$ for two mini cans is wonky to me. Alas, these are not the reasons why this place originally got a 2 star from me. It was the tomatoes on my avocado toast. They taste spoiled, old, and mushy. It made my stomach hurt a bit. As for the salmon, it tasted like it smelled, funky. Why i ended up giving this place a 3 instead of 2 stars? Bc their creme brulee was the BEST creme brulee I've ever had. It was so luscious, creamy, and it felt like these are the kinds of desserts GODS eat! It was amazing! My server was friendly and talkative with me up until the end.

In fact, all of the employees were very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. My mom ordered a cappuccino & I ordered an iced Canela latte. They have a terrific coffee drink list with lots of interesting options. My dad went with some fresh squeezed orange juice. The restaurant has a dedicated coffee making station & so the drinks took a minute to come out, but when they arrived, both were very tasty. The lil heart on the cappuccino was so cute! The restaurant also has a full bar and they offer drink flights such as mimosas as well as any alcoholic beverage you might enjoy. They also have an interesting drinks menu if you want to try some of their specialty offerings. Dad ordered waffles with strawberry & granola & sausage. Mom ordered the loaded breakfast potato and I ordered el omelette with a side of breakfast potatoes. The food came out about 15 minutes after we ordered. Everything was well-cooked & tasty. A few notes... the breakfast potato is huge! Mom ate half and saved half for lunch. El omelette was small but very flavorful. I especially enjoyed the avocado & crema on top. The side of breakfast potatoes is huge! I ate about 1/3 of them. My mom ate a few & we took the rest to go. Dad enjoyed his waffles & sausage. We were all happy campers for sure! Overall, Quiero is a great brunch spot with interesting drink choices and food items. It can get a little pricey if you add lots of drinks and sides, but it is totally worth it. Plenty of free parking in the shopping plaza parking lot. Happy brunching & muchas gracias!
