Post-gym this weekend, we wandered in looking for something different and immediately locked eyes with the 3-for-$17 special like it was destiny. We went with a chile relleno, 3 rolled tacos, and a beef taco, plus the rice and beans that came with it, and honestly, those sides were pulling their weight too!! We also grabbed a carne asada burrito, which disappeared embarrassingly fast!! Theu gave us chips and salsa while we waited patiently for our food. Parking is a bit of a competitive sport since spaces are limited, and the place was packed with people dining in. There's outdoor seating if you can snag a spot. Overall, the food was a win, the portions hit the spot, and that 3-for-$17 deal had us feeling like we somehow got away with something. Highly recommend if you're really hungry and on a budget!! read more

Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting to find a great burrito spot around here. While scrolling through Yelp, So Cal Tacos & Beer caught my eye, and I'm glad it did. As soon as we walked in, the vibe was super cool. The décor was fun, and their cute bear logo definitely stood out. There are plenty of booths inside, plus a charming outdoor patio if you're looking to enjoy the SoCal weather. After ordering at the counter, we were brought complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa tasted so fresh and homemade that my husband was obsessed with it--he even bought some to take home! We ordered just one Big Ass Burrito for around $20, and wow... this thing was absolutely massive. No joke, it could easily feed three people. We went with the pork, and the meat was insanely flavorful, tender, and marinated to perfection. It honestly left me speechless. The only thing that fell a little short was the agua fresca. It seemed machine-made rather than freshly prepared, so it wasn't quite what I was hoping for. Other than that, this spot is definitely worth checking out. If you're craving a legit burrito that delivers on both size and flavor, give this place a try! read more

This is a family owned and run business with great service and food. Been here a few times and recently came to eat and watch a FIFA game. Definitely busy this night. Space is nice with a few booths and a small bar area. Menu consists of Mexican staples like tacos, burritos, plates, and even seafood. They also have taco flights if you want to try a variety of proteins. Love that they offer healthy options as well. My new favorite taco place in Murrieta! read more

I lived in Temecula for 5 years. I never heard or seen this place until today I mapped tacos this place came up looked promising. Boy was I wrong food was bad and guy maybe the owner loud and cursing like if he was in the streets explaining to someone about buying t-shirts. He was very inconsiderate of his customers not everyone wants to hear him being loud and cursing. So never going back and no wonder I've never paid attention to this place read more

Yum. So good. My ONLY complaint is their chips. They just aren't good tortillas and that disappoints me but everything else is legit. Ok, one more thing... they have albondigas and posole on the menu but don't serve them and if your a tortilla and soup snob like me... that sucks. But they have beer and the micheladas are big n good read more

I thought the service was decent, they didn't let us have any complimentary chips and salsa since we ordered to go. One of the things we ordered was a california burrito and the picture below was what we got, no sour cream, no guac, soggy fries. Would not recommend, but the carnitas and rolled tacos were good. Would try it again if they get the order right next time. read more

So Cal Tacos & Beer - "Cali Burro" - Tacos Near Me - Murrieta, California

We went back because we heard they made some changes. Yes they did and I did not believe it would be poss to make the environment here any worse but they did. During our visit we had very loud music playing so you could barely have a conversation, but that music was competing with another radio the cook had blaring in the kitchen. It was so loud you couldn't think!! Too bad because the food is good but I can't get past the terrible dining environment. read more

First and probably last time coming here. We were craving Mexican food and decided to try the chicken enchiladas combo, which came with rice, beans, and a drink for around $33 for two. Unfortunately, the food was way too salty--especially the chicken and the sauce. Maybe this place is better known for their tacos. On the bright side, the service was friendly and fast, and the place had a clean, casual vibe. read more

So Cal Tacos & Beer - Eating our burrito on the patio. - Tacos Near Me - Murrieta, California

This was our first time coming here and it was recommended to me by a friend who says she comes here at least 3 times a week. We moved to Murrieta about 5 years ago from LA and haven't been able to find a good Mexican restaurant . This place is really good. It really hit the spot , the street tacos are delicious, my husband really liked his rolled tacos , my son had the quesa birria tacos but only ate one cuz he got full off of one , it was packed with a lot of meat !! I think that the quesa birria tacos could have had more onions and cilantro in it but it was still good . The aguachiles were different for us. We have never had them with fruit on them before but it was very delicious we ate it all up. The variety of salsas were also delicious with everything! I like how they give you options to pick from . The inside was nice and authentic especially the Mexican music they play. I loved hearing the reguetón and eating my food , it was a vibe. read more

I'mma give you guys two stars because my server was nice and the restaurant was clean. I ordered the Baja Cali burrito. It was really big which at first sight was nice because I was hungry but once I've been into it, I was extremely letdown. I was one of two customers in the restaurant so I assume my food was gonna be fresh that wasn't the case. My burrito was bland and tasteless. Beans has no flavor and we're slightly undercooked (had a few crunchy beans in my burrito) the rice was also tasteless and very lite in color. The meat not only had no seasoning but no char either...BRUH! And there's was supposed to be onions and cilantro in the burrito but I didn't see any in mine :/ I like a heavy hand of both onion and cilantro in my burritos so that was a bit of a letdown The salsa wasn't bad however (I went for the habanero) the green and red I didn't get into because I honestly only took about 4 bites of the burrito. I kept giving it a shot saying (maybe that wasn't a good bite) low and behold it just wasn't a good burrito. I also didn't like the fact that there were lemons offered to me instead of limes. That may not seem like a big factor, but it truly is when it comes tacos/burritos. ***Wish I took a pic of the burrito but if I'm being honest it was so meh I didn't care to*** read more

Cool taco spot , and seems always kinda busy . Came in two days for lunch while in the area , the daily specials are super good on price and food wise . Had a few different things here and all were good. The spots like a locals chill spot , small bar and beers . They make a good michi as well . There's also a nice size outside patio outside to chill . All the staff was friendly and helpful and orders come out pretty quickly read more

This was a pleasant surprise! Ordered a pick two with cheese enchilada (red sauce) and birria soft taco. Hubs ordered a chorizo burrito, removed potato added bacon, and two Micheladas with Modelo. Review: Amazing food! Completely satisfied with it all. The cheese enchilada was busting with gooey cheese, the rice and beans were so good with excellent flavors! Hubs said his burrito was "excellent ". This was our first time having Michelada's. They were interesting. We prefer Bloody Mary's but more for the spice and thickness. The presentation of the meal was perfect! Highly impressed with this small but cool establishment! The place is clean and has a great atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful! We will definitely be back! read more

So yesterday me and my husband came here because we were in the middle of unpacking into our new home and didn't wanna heat up the house. So we thought we were just gonna get some average Carne Asada nachos and California burritos, but we were wrong. When I tell you how amazingly delicious the food you wouldn't believe it because it truly was a 10 out of 10. The moment me and my husband got home we were just silently eating the food because it was so delicious. The beans on the nachos were so silky. As well, the service was a 10 out of 10! I'm currently seven months pregnant and I was really craving a Michelada and the lady told me that she can make it without alcohol but with mineral water instead. Which not only cured my craving, but it was so fulfilling on this hot day. We're so happy this place is right down the street from our house because we will be coming again and again. read more

The customer service is great and friendly. Very nice people and greeted me as I walked in. The dining area is nice and clean. They have TVs to watch the game and a charming patio area. If I had to come back again - I would come for the cabeza! The asada was better than the pastor - the pastor was too dry for me. The cabeza was tender - better than the other two. The beef hard shell taco was ok. The beef was good and not dry - the shell is too thicc for me. I almost chipped my tooth. I'm sad because I love habanero chile and this one was not spicy at all. Good flavor but no kick. read more

Updated review. I haven't been here in 3 years and I am happy to say they have ironed out all the kinks. The food is absolutely phenomenal and they might have the best salsa within 20 miles. They have excellent service, everyone is smiling and happy to help. I'm glad we gave it another shot because we live right up the street. read more

This is our local go to... breakfast, lunch, dinner. Food is consistent and not oily. We love the daily specials. I even order it to bring in stacks to my coworkers at the hospital. You won't be disappointed! Everything is tasty, well seasoned, fresh and ample servings. Salsas are great! Street tacos, al pastor, hemecula (monster burrito) machaca breakfast burrito, baked potato Fridays, mulita Mondays, family meal Saturdays and Sundays. Ample seating, inside and outside. Service is also kind and speedy! What more can you ask for in a lical eatery! Its perfect before or after a day at the wineries. My youngest loves the CaliFire burrito with fries and extra rice n beans! Our other favorite place is Guadalajara but its much further south... but great enchiladas plates... read more

I've gone here several times and order the 1lb of meat and was always satisfied and got what I paid for. I recently went and ordered 1lb of carne and 1lb chicken and got half of the amount I paid for. I called and they offered to give me the correct amount so I went back to the restaurant. The next time I ordered I had the same experience but they blamed me and said maybe I took out meat. I think most people don't weigh their order and they aren't eating it at the restaurant because it's a to go dish so they think they can get away giving you half of what you paid for. I won't be back. read more

Amazing burritos in this place. The food was fresh and the service was fast! The ambiance was very good too !

If I could go negative on the rating I would. Ordered two fish combo plates. - fish was as thin as my finger and on a hard corn tortilla. The beans were straight from the can. The rice was okay but not the best. Maybe out of a bag. I also ordered a shrimp cocktail.. - the shrimp cocktail tasted like straight fish from the ocean. I always eat seafood and never felt like I was drinking the ocean water with it like i did here. There was only a few small pieces of veggies. I tried to cover the taste with tapatio and lemon and ketchup-ALOT and even then I could not continue. I came home and threw up what little I did have. Which makes me think they don't wash anything and explains the smell and taste. I also had modelo michelada.. idk how you can go wrong with it. SMH. Tasted like water down old beer. Don't waste your money here. This place was pretty disgusting to say the least. Also, idk if this is a small family business but baby's shouldn't be in employees arms while working. Just isnt correct. Serving food and beer with a baby read more

Great Atmosphere, Great service, Amazing Food! We just moved here and have been here 3 times. Beautiful Bar

This has become our 'go to' place for Mexican food. Hubby tends to stick to the half order carnitas nachos - which he thoroughly enjoys. I tend to pick the tostada's with/without chicken, the surf and turf taco, keto taco or bean and cheese burrito. Food is dependable and tasty. Service is consistent. Complimentary chips and salsa start off the meal and when your food is delivered you get four different salsa choices in squeeze bottles to accompany your meal. The pico on the table is different then what you get in the bottles but all are delicious. With so many choices for Mexican food in the city this place is a definite thumbs up! read more
