Love their happy hour! Lots of appetizers for only $5 and cheap strong margaritas. Service has always been friendly. The taco Tuesday had great street tacos. Always friendly and quick service! One of our go to spots. read more

Solid food and excellent service. We were hesitant to try based on the reviews but we were pleasantly surprised. Great large dining area, inside and out. Great for large groups and families. We especially liked the skinny margarita pitcher and everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. Worth a try! read more

I was impressed by the manager Dwayne who made us feel at home and was very assuring that they are enforcing all the guide lines regarding Covid 19. Rodrigos Temecula is doing an amazing job on COVID, which is a big challenge. Our server Justin was very polite, attentive and provided prompt service.. I highly recommend Rodrigos Temecula... read more

My husband and myself have been going to Rodrigo's in Temecula once a month since we moved to the area about 15 years ago. We love the food so much that I arranged for a surprise retirement party of over 30 people to be held there. The serve is always excellent, the margaritas are yummy and the prices are right. read more

We have been coming here for 10 years! Our favorite waiter is Marco! He knows us so well, he knows exactly what we will order without even asking. Great food, great margaritas! Love this place! read more

I like to go here for the chili rellenos, some of the best in my opinion. And they have a great happy hour in the bar on weekdays.

Came her for lunch with some friends. Food was amazing, service was good and Jenna made an amazing drink!

I have a 5-7 minute rule. If after 5-7 minutes of sitting down at a restaurant, when it's not packed & you're completely ignored, it's time to go. I think that's more than reasonable. That was the case here, so we didn't get to the food part... but from the others' reiews, it looks like we dodged a bullet. There's always a silver lining. read more

Let the picture speak for it self. It's simply unacceptable. This was served to my pregnant girlfriend. How do you miss stuff like this when you professionally serve food. read more

Rodrigo's Mexican Grill - Unacceptable. This is a moldy bun served to my pregnant girlfriend. How does this get out of the kitchen? - Mexican Near Me - Temecula, California

After hanging out at Rodrigo's a few more times, I feel compelled to write an updated review. Since we can walk here, we've now come back several times for dinner and happy hours and, it really can't be beat with the prices and food! In particular, we love "Taco Tuesday" where they have $1.50 tacos (chicken, pork, beef) as well as great drink specials. We also came here last week and split the ultimate fajitas, which were really good. Jesus (who they call Rodrigo) is a great bartender and we love it when he's working. read more

I am not a fan. I have been here twice. The staff was rude, the place was empty but slow and they did not value their customers. Very pour training. 1 star. The food was average. 3 stars. Overall they get 2 stars from me. read more

I love Mexican food! We were so excited when this place went into the new plaza by our house. We were hoping to find another good sitdown mexican place that we didn't have to drive to the other side of town for. We actually debated taking some family from out of town here to try it out before we had tried it, but I am SO glad we chose to take them somewhere else to try. We were sorely disappointed when we finally tried here. I had the combo with tamale and chile relleno, and the standard rice and refried beans. Nothing special, or unusual. All something that a mexican restaurant should be able to handle in their sleep. It was disgusting, and the plate was drowning in a weird red sauce and cheese. But not the normal Mexican cheese, it was the shredded Mexican Blend variety. I normally stuff myself silly with Mexican food. This stuff, I could barely eat a few bites of each before I just couldn't take it anymore. Hubby got his favorite, flautas. I have never seen flautas come with red sauce before. Normally they are nice crispy and yummy. His were soggy. Not sure how much he ate of his, but he definitely didn't finish it. Their chips were ok at the beginning, but the salsa was kinda icky. DH liked the spicy variety. I can get good chips at the store, so definitely not even close to redeeming the disgusting food. We will stick with La Cocina across town. It's a way farther drive, but worth it to not subject ourselves to this place again. read more

*2.5 Shooting Stars I've been here twice and both times it was mildly disappointing. The first time was for dinner, food was ok not spectacular, however what truly made the experience bad was the table next to us. The guy kept dropping the F Bomb and had trucker mouth throughout my entire meal. My second time they would not honor their own coupon, yes the same one many people in the area get in their mailbox every week. The general manager had a snarky grin as he told me no, so I told him I guess you don't want my business ever again. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants in the area, skip this one and try another. read more

Tried this place out with the family for the wife's birthday. $5 blue agave margaritas were on point. We ordered a kids meal for our daughter (cheese quesadilla) and the wife and I split the Botana Platter. It was enough food for like 4 people so we definitely left with full bellies. The service was amazing! read more

See all

Came here with friends today for Sunday brunch, arriving around 12:30 PM. It was fairly busy but there were no lines of people waiting to be seated. Three members of our party got the champagne brunch entrees but had to wait about 30 minutes for their champagne, which actually arrived about 30 seconds after the entrees arrived. In case you missed it, that was a 30 minute wait time between ordering and food. We had to ask for more salsa at least 3 times. No one came by to see if everything was okay, or to ask *how was the food*, but they did keep the soda refilled without asking, but not the water. Food was just so-so, nothing special to make this restaurant a stand-out. Service was poor, people didn't come by often enough for us to request more salsa or more champagne, nor did the servers notice that we may have needed or wanted this. Warning: SUPER LOUD mariachi band! SO VERY LOUD even when in another part of the restaurant! A tolerable noise level from this band would be if they were at the opposite end from where we were seated. Did I say they were SUPER LOUD??? It was not pleasant. All in all, this was our first time at this establishment, and it will be our last. We won't be going back, and we'll be sharing our experiences with our other friends as well. read more

Love this place. The chips and salsa are really good, and you get tons of food. Their happy hour is amazing. Always good service too!

Nice looking, nice atmosphere. But the food does not match. Bland. Oily. The answer to bad Mexican food is not more cheese and sour cream. Mind you I haven't been in a while. Not worth a visit. read more

I hate to say it but being treated like I'm invisible is just Not right! Especially, since I was in a great mood bc I just got my first COVID-19 SHOT and I wanted to Celebrate with a good meal. I was at this restaurant a few times when y'all first opened so on the way home I drove away from 215 to come here, fully expecting to enjoy myself! Well after eating most of the Complimentary Chips & Salsa I Noticed the Waitress said very little to me & she seemed to be more engaging with the other Customers but I did get Water Salsa & Chips! An employee is suppose to Smile & make suggestions but I got None of that...Now, I'm wondering if I Really wanna eat somewhere that I don't feel Welcomed...& my answer was Hell No! Restaurants should be Happy to see any revenue and I shouldn't have too kiss your Ass to order Food.,,thanks but No thanks! Never Again! Goodbye cheese enchiladas...I really wanted one & I even read the Reviews...Everybody said get the cheese enchiladas...oh Well... read more

I love the inside of Rodrigo's! It is wellj-decorated, kind of on the fancy side and a really nice place to come for dinner. Too bad the food doesn't live up to the atmosphere. The food is pretty standard Tex-Mex. There is nothing wrong with Tex-Mex and it is not inherently inferior to Mexican food--just not the same. There is some really good Tex-Mex out there, but this place just doesn't quite serve it up. The food is on the bland side, which might be OK in some places, but looking at the interior and the prices, you expect and deserve more. Maybe if they drop their prices . . . no, not even then, read more

The Taco Salad is the business here. Unfortunately, that's all I could recommend because everything else I've tried has been OK to average but nothing worth ordering--aside from the Taco Salad of course. Someone told me that the Taco Salad is an American invention and that you will not be able to find it in Mexico. I'm not sure how true that is. Either way, it's the best salad I've ever had. What's lame is that I'm raving about a salad. What's even more lame is that I've come back for it several times. Nah ah I'm not ashamed... read more

I ordered a two combination plate with a beef enchilada and chile relleno. They brought out a cheese enchilada and a chicken taco. I found a stem of some plant in my enchilada. The taco was so dry that I took one bite and didn't eat the rest. The rice tasted like it was from one of those microwave rice pouches. Even the refried beans were dry with not fully melted cheese. My fellow diners got the ultimate burrito, which was okay. Nothing special. I should have just ordered that. I could not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Wow been here several times and the food is standard corporate Mexican food. The service has ranged from ok to just bad. Tonight when the family and I were there, 3-4 waitress thought it would be better to stand around and gossip at their back station until the manager walked by. The rallied around again 2 minutes later around a table with 2 bus boys cleaning, while they watched doing nothing but gabbing. We went 15 minutes with empty cups, the food was delivered correctly and timely however we did not have silverware for half the table. (2 out of 4) All the young 20 something waitresses could care less about their job. The hostess even stop by a few tables to try to help but the waitresses did not even move an inch. This crew tonight should have been managed much more closely. I am done with this place again for a while. read more

We love to eat here! Great Mexican food at great prices! I love the strawberry margaritas here, too. Jessica and Jenna are fantastic servers!! We will be back soon! read more

This is just plain real good Mexican food! This place is the best!! Margaritas are great make sure to order one!! If you are in the mood for chips and salsa then you will get your fix here, they are yummy!! What to order? Everything is good! Whatever you have had at any other Mexican restaurant, its going to be 10 times better here so order it and be surprised! The fish tacos are great, the enchiladas are yummy and the tacos are so good! read more

The quality of their food has really gone down. We had ordered the happy hour potato skins, which we not hot and the potatoes tasted old. I had the meatball soup which was blah and we shared the macho nachos with added chicken. It was good! Service at the bar was slow enough I felt forgotten. I've little desire to go back. read more

Best in the Inland Empire? Authentic? What a laugh. I could have had a better meal at Taco Bell or Del Taco. Other than the atmosphere and maybe alcoholic drinks selection, nothing else is to rave about. My family had dinner there on Friday night and was a big bust. I ordered the Carne Asada with shrimp. The server actually asked me if I wanted A1 or Steak sauce. Really??? A1 on Carne Asada?? What kind of "Mexican" food are they trying to serve? After tasting it though, since it was flavorless, A1 probably would not have been a bad choice. The shrimp? Yeah. Thawed out moments prior? Refried beans? Ummm yeah straight from the can. Gross My wife found a hair STUCK to her Carne Asada. She was promised a new plate, somehow the same plate came back. And the final bill? Not worth a penny. Will never come back here again! read more

The food is not good, not fresh, the people are very nice but it's not authentic Mexican food . The salsa for the chips tasted like PACE sauce . I tried the tamale,Chile Colorado and the Chile relleno but there was nothing I could find positive about the plate . Lack of flavor and even the beans were sub par . Disappointed. read more

My friends and I hang here for taco Tuesday. They have good food but the Service is TERRIBLE + BAD = Management need to do something we don't have time to wait 30mins or more to get happy hour drinks!!! Very very bad service read more

Rodrigo's Mexican Grill - VIPs TACO TUESDAY!!!! - Mexican Near Me - Temecula, California

The pros: good location, very nice restaurant, good prices on Sunday brunch (you order what you want and it comes with free flowing champagne), good looking bar, great chips and salsa, and live mariachis! They will also make your dish with egg whites instead of whole eggs if you ask them to, which is worth a lot to me. Really liked the decor/atmosphere. The cons: the food sucks, no other way to put it. I am willing to bet fifty bucks it is actually uncle ben's or minute rice they use, no joke. The huevos rancheros were pretty good, though. Wait staff could use some serious improvement; less attitude and more service. Overall, nice place to go for drinks or a chill sunday champagne session, but don't expect much from the food. read more

Our service here was great. The hostess and the waiter were very friendly and helpful. We liked the atmosphere and it wasn't loud. It was easy to hear each other at our table of 6 despite being pretty busy. We enjoyed our food. Their salsa and guacamole were very tasty. I had carne asada with camarones and it was yummy but the steak was over cooked. Lots of food for decent prices though. read more

Good authentic Mexican food is hard to find. Here I was pleasantly surprised with such friendly service and great food! Thank you to Gabriel who recommended a breakfast plate I enjoyed! read more

Rodrigo's Mexican Grill - Salsas pretty good!! - Mexican Near Me - Temecula, California

Went in for lunch today and was met at the door by the hostess who got me a seat right away. The server..Lacie was very nice. The Bartender Justin came over multiple times to make sure my drinks were how I liked them. Definitely will be back again! read more

Nice looking place both inside and out. Clean and the staff did a nice job. They had won some type of award so I was expecting a great Mexican meal...not so much. First I had a hard time figuring out the menu as they had a lot of wierd dishes. Second, the burrito my wife and chose to share was ok. It had 3 types of meat inside with beans and covered in sauce. It was, ok. I can't say that it was bad, I can't say that it was great, I guess I just don't see a reason to go again. read more

Been here twice. Great people and awesome service. The food is good as well ...had the fajitas combo and margaritas which are always delish. Came in at 6 on a Saturday night so it was getting busy, but the service was on point. Had the salsa music on, so the atmosphere was cool too. Cesar was taking care of us today and is very quick and friendly. Very attentive and available. Definitely coming back. read more

Over the years from living in Murrieta and now Menifee...we have frequented Rodrigos many times. It has been our go to place fir good Mexican food. I have never been disappointed on anything we have ordered. Love those chili rellenos! We usually get the three item combo and it is always served warm! Thank you Ridrigos for never disappointing. read more

Average Mexican food, we had the nachos, street tacos and steak picada. Service was very fast, the food was kind of warm. Large portions for the price, however the quality was OK. read more

This place is less than a mile from our house and I wish it didn't have such terrible service. The food is pretty good and the margaritas are great, but the service seriously stinks. We've waited so long after sitting down that we actually got up and left, and it didn't seem like anybody cared. I keep going back because I want it to be a fun spot close to home, and they have a pretty good happy hour, but I can't be there for almost 3 hours...waiting...waiting...waiting. Where are the servers? My husband and I decided this last time that we needed to take a long break then maybe we'll try it again...and keep our expectations on the low side. read more

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere for a casual evening dinner. Always a go to for our family!

This place is super good. The service and food is by far the best Mexican food on the north side of town, Dont waste your time and money at El Torito people. Lunch specials are bueno.... read more
