    Service was great -- our waiter Isaiah was attentive and attractive in his western hat. Food delicious. Seating either indoor or outside. Ambiance very western with a big photo of John Wayne inside. We opted for a late breakfast which did not disappoint. We'll be back.

    On a rainy, blustery February day, we were visiting Temecula old town, looking for a place to have a late breakfast. As usual, most places were packed with waiting lines 20-30 minutes long for a table. Then we spotted Rodeo Cafe. I know what you're saying: If there was no line out must not be a great place to eat. I had the same initial thought, but it turns out we were both wrong, my friend. There was no line at Rodeo Cafe, covered Ava heated patio seating available immediately, and only a 5 minute wait for a table inside. We waited, and they ushered us in to a warm spot where we could await our table being prepared. While we waited, literally every employee who passed us by greeted us, acknowledged that we were waiting, and assured us our table was nearly ready. But the good service didn't stop there. We were led to our table and provided excellent service there as well by Malorie. She was pleasant, friendly, and very helpful. Our meals were delicious, and beautifully arranged. And the prices were more than reasonable. Great atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food, generous portions, and reasonable prices. I know where we're coming back to when we visit again!

    Super cute decorations for the holidays and the staff were all really friendly! I love that the patio area was dog friendly and brought our dog a water bowl while we were dining. The food was really good! The flavor was good and it was nice large portions! The green chilaquiles were delicious and the rodeo potatoes are a must try!

    Huevos rancheros

    Portions were humongous! I literally had to take half my plate home. This was a great brunch place to eat at after a night of drinking. My huevos rancheros plate with red sauce was yummy. Super filling! Good service. Free parking at the public garage.

    Absolutely love this place! I've been going to the foothill location for a few years now and it's become my favorite breakfast spot. I was so excited to hear that they were making a location in Old Town Temecula! The food is amazing as always and the servers are so sweet. I can't wait to come back!

    We had family visiting so we decided to try Rodeo cafe. The patio area is good sized and was decorated very fun for Dia de las Muertos. Located in Old Town Temecula, parking is recommended at one of the public parking areas like the parking garage near city hall. I had waffles, eggs and sausage, it was delicious. Coffee refills kept coming, the service was great. I'd definitely go back.

    My friend and I came here for dinner and the food was just ok, nothing that I would come back for. I had the Cowboy Salad and the steak had an odd texture. I did have a hiccup with being overcharged, but they were prompt to address the situation. Breakfast seems to be their jam, so I might come back for that.

    I love their breakfast! Generous with portions, tasty, and great price. Fast and friendly service. Enjoyed the outdoor dining especially on the weekend, can't beat a good breakfast and the old town vibe! Staff were attentive and courteous. Looking forward to my next visit.

    This is a solid Mexican Restaurant. Came here after a long golf outing. The cocktails are delicious, especially a cold blended margarita. Ordered the taquitos and beer-battered shrimps. Staffs were attentive and friendly. Got all our orders correct.

    Chilaquiles
    David S.

    Wow, wow, wow!! First off, the service was excellent--thank you to the hostess and my server. The chilaquiles were AMAZING. Perfectly crispy, and then topped with that incredible meat sauce. Truly outstanding. Thank you for bringing back childhood memories of chilaquiles.

    Rodeo Cafe is located in a prime spot in Old Town right across the street from 1909. I was excited to try the food because I read good reviews and the interior decor looked charming, especially for the Christmas holiday. It is rodeo themed with horse saddles on display and barrels as part of the decor and furniture. The facility was kept clean and the service was great. Unfortunately the food was very mediocre at best. The chicken fried steak looked like a processed meat patty, and the green chilaquiles were just okay in flavor. The best part of our meal were the potatoes and the hash browns. There was also a small strand of hair in my food. I wish the food was more appealing because the service, atmosphere, and location were great.

    Today was my first time here, and I got to say this place was Fantastic!! Food was Amazing! I was very surprised to hear that they serve breakfast until 3pm. Im Always missing breakfast at restaurants because I love to sleep in on my weekends! I had a Bloody Mary and that was perfect too!! They gave me a Rose for mother's day which I thought that was very sweet! I asked about their Menudo and they brought me put a small bowl to try! Bomb!! Service was Great! Everyone was Pretty attentive!! Clean restroom!! I will definitely be back!!

    I am so glad this place replaced BEGOOD. I thought begood was overly priced and I didn't care for their selections. We had the 1/2 lb burger and it was huge and big enough for both myself and wife to split. We got it with Fries and paid $6 extra for side salad. Everything was good...its nice to find at least one place where you can sit off front street without killing the wallet. 1909 is fine, but the menu and "vibe" is a little "preppy" for my liking. Rodeo Cafe's steaks and burgers at a reasonable price is much more up my alley. The food was good and prices were reasonable, but nothing stood out yet....will try more next time we go...but for now this is our go-to to replace 1909 when we want the oldtown vibe. We of course stopped by the ice cream cone place on our way home. While I may suggest the restaurant is "nothing to write home about", it is in a prime location of old town temecula. When we want that "vibe", it is currently our "go to" for that purpose. I like "Swing Inn" better, but this is at a better location, and nice for a change, and much prefer it to the 1909 menu and preppy feel, and think the prices are much better too.

    What a great cute diner! We went to Mo's for breakfast, saw online they had early riser breakfast…read more We jumped at it. Get there by 9:00 am and you will save some bucks. I had 2 eggs, sausage fruit and toast w coffee for $14. Friends got the same deal but one had French toast the other waffles. Everything right about this place. Seated right away, server came right away, then returned with our coffee and complimentary warm coffee cake. WHAT??? Took our order 10 min later out come our dishes! My faith has been restored in good home cooking, with reasonable prices and tremendous service. We left less than an hour later from a full restaurant, of course it's full, they are doing everything right. Note to mgmt: keep it up you stand out among all the others. Will be back for sure.

He ate most of it by the time we remembered to take pics lol) We were seated right away despite the crowds. The server was excellent, wish we knew her name. She was very kind, friendly and attentive. Bonus!! They give you a free slice of coffee cake once you're seated. Thank you Mo's! Other entrees I recommend: Loco Moco Lox Plate

We initially ordered to dine in but ended up needing to take it to go. Service was amazing from start to finish. As soon as we arrived and even when we had to change to go. Our waitress understood and helped us packed everything up. I did get to try to latte flights there. To be honest, taste was just ok but presentation makes it look really good. I read another review about the ube waffle and I have to agree with them. I was expecting more ube flavor. It was decorated pretty with the flowers but the flavor just wasn't there. Out of everything I ordered the blue velvet pancakes were my favorite. They were soft and fluffy. The cinnamon roll pancake was for my husband. I did like that they like you order pancakes à la carte so you don't have to do full orders of everything and get to try everything. Crème brûlée French toast was ok too. To be fair I'm not sure if it's because we had to take it to go. With that said when taking to go, the pancakes were still good. Waffle not so much but to me it also lacked that one flavor. My husband ordered a margarita and our waitress recommended peach and she was right. Peach margarita tasted yummy as I took a sip to try it. We came around 2pm and there was plenty of seating inside available. We were able to find parking in the shopping center easily. Would recommend to give this place a try especially since service was great. Also, pretty food presentation.

I absolutely loved our choice! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, and you can tell they put a lot of care into the food. Our waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout our visit. They also have outdoor seating, which made for a really nice and relaxing atmosphere, also you can bring your furry babies which I love! Between the great food, friendly service, and pleasant ambiance, we had a wonderful time. We'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this restaurant!

    I only heard of this place when I saw on instagram that actor Dean Norris purchased it. He has…read moreplayed many roles but I know him as DEA Agent Hank Schrader on the show Breaking Bad. What attracted me was the Texas Style BBQ and I've read plenty of positive reviews saying the BBQ is legit. Last Saturday on July 4th we made our way to Temecula to dine at the Swing Inn Cafe & BBQ. The town was packed due to a 250th birthday celebration parade. The parade blocked us from getting to the restaurant. We had to wait until it was over which was like 20 minutes. At the hostess station we were advised it would be a 45 minutes wait for a party of 5. The place was busy with customers but the employees did an excellent job in providing great service. 20 minutes later we were seated outside. There were six parties ahead of us but they didn't show when called. Guess they got tired of waiting. I ordered a full rack of the pork spare ribs with smoked beans as my one side. But when I got my food I had an extra side of smoked beans. The ribs were tender, thick and the meat came of the bone easily. It had a nice smokey taste and the smoked beans complimented the meat. I have to admit one of the best spare pork ribs I had in my life. My mom got the chicken fried steak with mash potatoes and gravy. The chicken fried steak was seasoned well and very tender. My step dad ordered Large Brisket plate with coleslaw. And my brother and sister in law both got the 2 meat plate with smoked turkey and brisket with sides of macaroni and cheese and smoked beans. The beef brisket and smoke turkey was very good according to my family. For dessert I got the cinnamon roll a popular item, step dad and mom shared a slice of apple pie and my brother got the coconut cream pie. Everything was very sweet and delicious. We were hoping to catch Dean but I figured he was probably spending time with family on this holiday. We will return and hopefully he will be there so we can let him know how much we loved his food and acting.

    I come for the breakfast, not the attitude. The waitresses…read morereally do have shitty attitudes. I'll still continue to come here anyway, when I'm in town. We'll seat you when we're damn good and ready. That's the mantra. For all of them being employees, they all act like owners. Way too short with everyone and simply bothered by having to do anything. Waitressing is a high school or college kids job, it's not a career job. That's why you have all these older workers with such shitty attitudes. Chuck needs to have weekly or monthly meetings with these people. I can't stand any brown nosing or ass kissing, but the shitty attitude has got to go. It's not just one of them. It's all of them..

    I HAD THE BEST FISH OF MY LIFE HERE!…read more The photo might not do it justice, but holy moly - I seriously had a life changing moment eating the striped bass here. It was cooked to absolute perfection with the bones separating right off to indulge to the fullest extent. They tell you it takes 30 mins to cook, which is well worth the wait. The skin was perfectly crispy and the seasoning was to die for. The meat was juicy and I couldn't stop eating it alongside the garlic yogurt. It also came with a side of chickpeas and summer squash. The cocktails were a nice break away from all the wine in Temecula - but I wished the drinks would be punchier and more creative. The charred cauliflower was a nice order, though it was too "raw" and therefore dry. I think it'd be better lightly fried to lock in some juice. Service was fantastic, especially as the server is the one that pushed us to get the fish. The ambiance is fantastic; we stayed inside but the outside is beautiful. Overall, I can't believe that fish; I hope to try it again when I revisit the area.
