Landeros Mexican Grill + Cantina

What a great find. We stopped in for dinner at Landeros and Rose was so kind and sweet. She explained that there was a 30 minute wait list and within 15 minutes we had a lovely table be the ornamental tree in the restaurant. Yarry was our server and he was professional, kind and efficient. We both ordered drinks as my wife had a margarita light on agave and I had a Cadillac margarita. The chips were fresh and the salsa quite tasty. My wife ordered the chicken verde enchilada entree and I had Chicken fajitas. Both dishes were excellent. The vibe and ambiance was upbeat and positive. Rose stopped by several times to check on us as did Yarry. Great place and highlyrecommended!

The food here was delicious. I wanted to try a new place and when I came it was the perfect time it wasn’t that busy 🙌🏾 the chips and salsa were so fresh and tasty 🤤 the agua Fresca was very refreshing!! I highly recommend coming you won’t be disappointed! Great service and a beautiful atmosphere.

The food here is quite delicious and authentic. The house margaritas were quite excellent and our server was a treat and quite knowledgeable about the menu with good recommendations that my wife went with and was not disappointed. Delicious food and fair prices. We'll definitely be back! Thank you!

Pretty good Mexican restaurant in Old Town Temecula. The Chile Verde Burrito is huge and definitely filling. Good flavor overall and just hits the spot. They have a Margarita Flight too which is pretty fun to share. Good variety and my favorite was the hibiscus. The service is pretty standard and the ambiance was modern and fun.

No exaggeration these carne asada tacos are amongst the best I’ve had this side of the border. They definitely got the corn tortillas right, just add guacamole, lime, and salt. Soooo good!!

The restaurant is perfect for pictures and really cute inside. That said, the food is okay. It wasn't bad or great. The churros would have benefited a bit with more sauce and sugar to their presentation. Also, the shirley temple had a heavy amount of grenadine and was too sweet for my liking. Definitely worth checking out if you want some cute pictures during a dinner.

Just WOW! The freshest chips, salsa and guacamole I’ve had! The margaritas, fantastic! We sampled 5 and no complaints with any of them. Service was great, friendly staff we had a wonderful server. Highly recommend!

Best Mexican Food In Temecula! Reasonable prices. Lovely atmosphere! Our servers have been courteous, professional, prompt and knowledgeable when it comes to the Menu. My family and I have enjoyed breakfast, lunch, dinner, birthday parties at Landeros and never been disappointed. The patio is Dog Friendly! Love it! Loved the sizzling vegetarian fajitas💖 and the Guava Margaritas were a big hit in the next to us table 😀.

We were just walking down the street on a hot summer day. I thought well this looks like a fun place for lunch ... It is ... The Mexican food here is delicious. Of course we started with the guacamole. I had a very refreshing hibiscus non-alcoholic drink that was so refreshing . The enchiladas verdes were stuffed with chicken fresh roasted chicken... This restaurant screams Mexican authenticity, but it's got a very cool almost Melrose place vibe. You really must enjoy a meal here with your time in Temecula.

This place is legitimately excellent. Service is excellent, the food is excellent, and the ambiance is excellent. I've tried the enchiladas, sizzling fajitas, chile relleno, quesabirria tacos and all are excellent. My favorite is definitely the quesabirria tacos. Their agua frescas, margaritas, and chips/salsa are also excellent. In my opinion, this spot has the best Mexican food in the entire area.

I'm giving this place 5 stars food was excellent Service was excellent And the ambience was excellent We sat outside being here on vacation from Scottsdale Arizona the weather is perfect Being from Arizona I think we have some of the best Mexican restaurants but I was pleasantly impressed with our food I got fish tacos my husband got chile verde chilaquiles perfection!!! The chile verde was so tender and flavorful no fatty chunks like some places trust me you all know what a fanatic I am about good food service and a clean restaurant this place was spotless and super friendly glad we came here

I came here on the weekend for a party of 5. Reservations were made in advance so we were seated fairly quickly. The decor was just beautiful. So colorful and vivid. The food came in generous portions with reasonable prices. I was pleased with my choice of loaded fries and a sweet non-alcoholic drink.

July 2025 ~ This restaurant was awesome! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left. It's beautifully decorated, bright and comfortable. Our server was really nice. The food was delicious and more :) Everyone in our party (6) enjoyed their dishes. Most importantly hehe the drinks, chips & salsa were perfect :)

Went on Mother's Day and had an amazing lunch. Server was kind, food was warm and the atmosphere was great! I got the carne asada plate- the carne wasn't that good, I'd probably order something else next time. But everything else was! My husband really enjoyed his cali burrito.

From the moment you walk in, the decor is an experience just in itself. We came here to celebrate our friends wedding anniversary with them. They were able to make reservations easily over the phone as the place gets busy and seating is limited especially on a busy weekend. The restaurant is not very large but it gives it a more cozy vibe. Junior was our server and he was awesome! We all enjoyed their food. My husband and I shared the steak fajitas. I really liked their guacamole. One of our friends ordered the sizzling enchilada with shrimp. I tried a bite of it and it was full of flavor. They have a brunch menu that's only until 2pm that I really want to come back and try. Lastly the star of the show. I ordered the La Princessa cocktail and wow. Now this drink impressed us all just with its presentation alone which we were all not expecting. Junior brought over my drink and asked if I was ready which I was not. I was expecting a regular cocktail. I had to record the magic because as soon as he lifted the cover there was smoke and then a beautiful drink appeared. Such a cool experience and the drink tested amazing too!!! Definitely recommend the drink and this restaurant! We are all for sure are coming back!!

This was our first Mexican spot in Temecula and loved it. The chips were still warm and perfectly seasoned, and we asked for second serving of their fresh salsa because it was so good! The margaritas were. The rice and beans weren't as moist as I prefer but great nonetheless. The decorations were cheerful and unique, and the service was really friendly.

First time here and can't wait to come back. Chris was our server and he was attentive and provided excellent service. He deserves a raise LOL. There is indoor and outdoor seating, heads up, if you sit outside there are heaters! The restaurant is pretty small but I don't think reservations are accepted. I don't recommend large parties come during peak hours because of how limited seating is. It was so hard to choose...everything on the menu sounded so good. Lots of options but not an overwhelming amount to choose from. Only complaint, my ceviche was more like a shrimp cocktail, STILL delicious but not ceviche. Just a heads up, 20% gratuity will be added on parties of 8+ 10/10! I highly recommend eating here.

This is my first time trying this spot! It was a busy Sunday brunch, but this place got a sat right away. I ordered a aqua de Jamaica and it tasted very good I also had a Baja fish tacos that came with a side of fries which were loaded and tasted very fresh‍ their menu had a lot of yummy options. I had trouble deciding on which one to order. Definitely coming back to try more.

I took my family to this restaurant for fathers day. The decor is very Instagramable, e with beautiful murals on the wall and a giant tree in the center. My family thanked me for picking the restaurant, so everyone enjoyed it. They are known for their margaritas and have a bar.

Went there on Friday evening, had a lovely experience) Friendly and welcoming staff . The food was amazing, I've ordered beef and fish tacos, it was delicious! Their interior is cute and beautiful! I've spent the great evening there)

I wanted to try a new place and I stumbled across this hidden gem. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Service was fast and great I love the ambiance and decor it was super fun. Overall I really enjoyed eating here and will definitely return!!

I have been here twice both times great food! Very fresh definitely recommend!! Service was also great.

This spot was awesome! I came here as a party of 10 for my sister's bachelorette party and Michelle was so so helpful and accommodating! She even printed special menus for us. The service was AMAZING and so fast, especially for a party of our side. The food was fantastic as well. The guacamole and enchiladas verdes were standouts. The space itself is very vibey. Highly recommend while you're in OT Temecula!

Came in around 6 was 30 minutes wait to be seated inside Small nicely decorated restaurant Service was not great Food was good

Decided to try some place new today and my boyfriend and I were very pleasantly surprised and happy that we did. The food and the staff were both awesome! We had the California burrito wet with the green sauce and the fish tacos and they were both delicious. We will be back . Thanks for everything!

Super cute place I had a bean and cheese burrito which is a pretty basic staple and it was delicious and my daughter had rolled tacos beans and rice. We felt the food was tasty and tried the margarita flight. Yum. I would definitely go back if I was in the area.

The food here was nice enough. I had the vegetarian fajitas and they were only really seasoned with salt and pepper, though they gave us some nice salsa and pico de gallo which improved them slightly. My husband's mole enchiladas were more flavourful. The reason I have to give it a lower score is because whilst we were sat quickly, we were not seen by a waiter for ages once we were sat. We saw three other groups get sat and served whilst we waited for tap water. When the waiter did start serving us, he was very attentive, which I appreciated, but I found it frustrating that we had to wait so long at first and we did almost leave. The inside is cute, with a cool tree, and I am sure it would be great for groups. That said, it can get quite noisy so I would recommend getting seated outside if you're sensitive to noise.

Saw on yelp and thought i'd try while in town. Parking was looking like it was about to be a nightmare however we quickly found street parking. We were sat almost immediately on a Saturday night which was definitely a plus. The atmosphere was so nice, polite staff, and very cute decor.

First time trying Landeros Mexican Grill last night and the entire experience was amazing and highly recommended! Everything from the fast service, music choices and food quality was over the top! Our waitress, Bri was extremely attentive and recommended the best chili rellenos and carnitas plate. Her customer service was appreciated by us all. The service was fast, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. You won't be disappointed! Thank you again, to Bri for making our first time such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!

Landeros has the best Mexican food in town! My husband and I enjoy good chips & salsa and theirs is really good. Also love their carne asada, carnitas and enchiladas as they are all very delicious. The margaritas there are so tasty and my husband enjoys the beer selection. Additionally, the vibe is relaxing and all of the bartenders and servers that we've met are super friendly! This is our go-to restaurant for quality Mexican food and drinks!

Another great meal at Landeros! We had to wait a little while for a table, but it was worth it! Once we were seated, Bri took wonderful care of us. Chips and salsa were tasty and fresh! We enjoyed the colorful and inviting atmosphere--this is such a uniquely designed space, we love it! Everything tastes just the way you want it to! We left very full and very happy. We'll be back again!

This is our second time visiting Landeros Mexican Grill and it delivers such great portions, service and vibe! There is something for everyone from kids to adults. This time I tried their chile rellenos and the serving size was very filling! Their alcoholic drinks are also strong enough to get the party started.

We had dinner here and the food was very good! I ordered two tacos a La carte. The service was very good. We ordered guacamole which was very tasty. Good experience, we would go back.

Went here on Tuesday for the first time and it was amazing! Seating on the patio has a nice view, service was so nice and friendly, and the food was wonderful. We are already planning to return this weekend for my birthday.

First time there and I have to say that it's one of if not the best Mexican restaurant I have had. Food was great as well as the service and the restaurant was very nice. I will definitely be back

Pretty good Mexican restaurant in Old Town Temecula. The Chile Verde Burrito is huge and definitely filling. Good flavor overall and just hits the spot. They have a Margarita Flight too which is pretty fun to share. Good variety and my favorite was the hibiscus. The service is pretty standard and the ambiance was modern and fun.

I'll start by saying this review is a rounded-up 4 stars--but if we're being precise, it's a solid 3.5. We dropped by Landeros on a quiet Sunday afternoon for an early dinner. The lack of crowd meant we were seated right away (a win), and the interior is charming--especially the large tree in the center of the dining room. It's giving indoor courtyard vibes, and I was here for it. Our server, Chris, was fantastic--friendly and attentive from the jump. We kicked things off with a margarita flight and the obligatory chips and guac. As a firm believer that the chips and salsa make or break a Mexican restaurant, I was pleasantly surprised. The chips were warm, the salsa had decent flavor, and the guac was... fine. Not the kind of guac you write home about, but not the kind you leave behind either. We kept it classic with our orders: * Green enchiladas for my wife * Quesabirria tacos for my daughter * Mole enchiladas for yours truly The margarita flight came out first--spicy pineapple, tamarindo, strawberry, and peach. It sounded fun on paper, but the execution was underwhelming. The flavors didn't pop, and the tequila (or lack thereof?) didn't help. We didn't finish any of the four. They weren't bad enough to send back, but definitely not worth repeating. Just... meh. On the food side, service was quick (as expected given the slow pace), and portions were generous. The rice and beans? Excellent. Tasted like someone's abuela was in the back keeping the tradition alive. The enchiladas were well-stuffed with moist chicken, topped with a solid helping of sauce and, to my delight, pickled onions. That alone earned a mental fist bump. Taste-wise, everything fell into the same category: fine. Not bad, not exceptional--just... fine. The mole was the biggest letdown for me. I was hoping for something bold and rich, but it played it safe--like it had to pass a spice-free HOA inspection. A sprinkle of sesame seeds could've at least given it a little more character. I still ate it all, of course, but I've had (and made) better at home. The green enchiladas had a surprising tang, which my wife noticed too. We'd read a review calling them "spicy" but... respectfully, no. Not a hint of heat--just a citrus-forward sauce that confused more than it excited. As for the quesabirria tacos, they were tasty but didn't bring the depth I associate with birria. I wanted a punch of savory, a little richness from the consomé--but again, it leaned mild. Like the flavor version of a polite handshake. Final Verdict: Landeros is worth a visit, especially if you're after a clean, welcoming spot with kind staff and a cozy vibe. Just go in with the understanding that this might be Mexican food designed for a broader, possibly spice-averse audience. If you've grown up with bold, traditional flavors, you might find it a little too mellow. But hey--mellow isn't always bad. In summary: good food, great service, and a space that makes you want to linger. Just don't come looking for culinary fireworks.

Landeros is a nice Mexican restaurant, located just off Main Street in Old Town Temecula. It's located next to the Tea & Spice Shop The food is very good and they will wow you with their serving size. But given all the new trends in Mexican food... Sonoran, Oaxacan, Jalisco, Mexico City tortas/street food, etc, Landeros seems like an old style Yucatan throwback - which is not a bad thing. Sometimes you just want to go with some old favorites, as we did recently! Landeros is located in the old Renzoni italian place and has been open for about two years. We found the service to be very attentive and the serving size, as mentioned above, to be overly generous. See the photos of the food and Menu. Three and a Half Stars for the Mexican comfort food. Four Stars for the service and tasty Margaritas. Expect to pay $35 each, including gratuities and depending upon on how thirsty you are. LOL

We stopped at Old Town Temecula to have lunch and serendipity lead us to Landeros Mexican Grill to dine. We had a wonderful lunch, I split a delicious fajitas platter with my husband and our son had a quesadilla and fries. The day was beautiful so we ate outside on the patio and enjoyed the blue skies. Service was quick and friendly.

The food here is authentic! The service is just as good, and there's optional patio seating if the weather is great and you have a furry loved one! I visited here on Taco Tuesday and decided on the hard shell tacos. They were so filling that I will get to take leftovers home! The chips and salsa are fresh and the cocktails are full of flavor. Ambience is perfect for a Tuesday afternoon!

Everything was perfect! Service was amazing - ambiance was gorgeous and the food and drinks were both top notch. Will definitely be back next time in in Temecula!

Amazing place to eat, we were wowed with everything! We ate on a weekday night around 5:30 and it was mostly empty, we could sit wherever we liked. Great service with friendly people, the chips were brought out immediately and the entrees we ordered were both amazing. I loved the mini chimis (huge portions) and the atmosphere. Would definitely recommend, it's a cute place with indoor and outdoor seating.

As always everything is outstanding! Junior was our server, I made a little mistake on my order and he gladly assisted with getting my order to my liking. Authentic flavors and the food is presented with an inviting flare, ready to dig right in. The staff is always friendly, welcoming. Pleasant environment, can be noisy with celebrations. We are usually coming from Lancaster or returning home but they are a planned stop one way or the other.

Went there for Taco Tuesday this week. The last time I went, carne asada plate was great. This time, the meat was very thin overcooked shoe leather. The cheese enchilada was undercooked, with a solid chunk of cheese in the middle-- not melted. This is so disappointing- considering it's one of the most expensive items on the menu. The rice was good, and so was the cadillac margarita.

It was alright. Nothing bad about it. Server was good. Food was alright. I got the carne asada plate and a Cadillac rocks margarita and my pops got the chili verde plate. Ambiance is bright and colorful.

Creative decor, seating inside and outside. I wasn't expecting much out of a Mexican restaurant in Temecula but this hit different. Everything was delicious and I would come again. The service was nothing less than great and their table salsa actually has a kick to it.

Phenomenal delicious food and excellent service! Ceviche was super fresh and extremely good!

Love, love this place in old town temecula. We come here often but have never had the chile relleno. It was so good. I will definitely be ordering this again. We sat at the bar and our bartender was so nice

We were doing a quick getaway to Temecula for a couple of days and were treating ourselves to wine tasting and meals out. We decided on a dinner in old town and Mexican food sounded good. First of all, this place is so cute. Charming and quirky in all the right ways. The waitress told us we could choose our table and she would be right with us. It wasn't too busy when we arrived but it filled up pretty quickly afterward. With only two servers you would think service would be slow. Not at all. Our waitress (I'm so sorry I don't recall her name) was charming and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The whole restaurant seemed to be running very smoothly. The cocktails and food were all very tasty. I had a hibiscus margarita and enchiladas verdes, hubby had a tequila shot and Modelo and Camarones Diablo (I think that's what it was called). Lots of tender, tasty chicken in the enchiladas. My husband said his dish was very good, a bit on the spicy side, which he loved. All in all, it was a great dinner out. I would definitely recommend it. I hope it is still there the next time we visit Temecula.

Tried this spot out and was impressed with the great service and food. Fast with the free chips and salsa when you sit down, and also fast with the refills! SoCal native here and tacos were on-point! Kids approved as well. Will try the drinks next time, looked like they had some good cocktails.

Just tried this place for the first time. Got some breakfast to go. Very tasty. Delicious Chilaquiles! Their green sauce is so good!

My daughter, her husband, my husband and I had dinner here in December while we were visiting Old Town Temecula. We all loved our meals! I ordered the mini-chimichanga appetizer because I wasn't very hungry. When they brought it out, it was enough for two people for dinner. My husband's favorite Mexican dish is chili verde and he was extremely happy! They were also refilling the chips and salsa as much as we wanted. Definitely will be back!

Found this cute little place in Temecula when we were looking for Mexican food post date day wine tasting. The host and waitress were both very nice and attentive. The waitress even made a point to come ask us if we were ready to order so she could get it in before a party of 12 put theirs in. Food was awesome with big portions - chile verde plate was so tender and his burrito was massive. Beers were good, smaller than expected. Only negative was when we arrived there were 3 booths open but we couldn't sit there for some reason when we asked and were seated at a little table right in the middle/way. But it was by a cool tree art thing so it was ok. Definitely would come back again.

Stopped in for dinner on a Tuesday about 6pm with my 80 year old parents and really enjoyed our experience. Super cute, well decorated- the theming inside was very well done. Service was great, I forget our servers name but he was excellent. Attentive to our requests, brought out chips and salsa, always refilled the drink and chips and was able to make adjustments to the order for my dads request. Order came out pretty quickly (it wasn't busy so it was expected), food was exactly as ordered, hot and very delicious. I had the sizzling enchiladas and loved them. All the onions and bell peppers with my enchilada made for a unique and tasty dish. My parents never finish their plates because they are not heavy eaters being old, but there was hardly anything left to bring home. Dad had a 2 item combo and mom had the chili relleno, they said it was very tasty. 100% recommend for anyone looking for good food, service and restaurant vibe.

I have to say I love this place. From the moment I pulled up, it just felt charming. The decorations inside are quite lovely. I especially appreciate the tree. But that's just the beginning of my experience. The waiter that attended to us, did a perfect job. From beginning to end. I even complimented him, but I think I embarrassed him. For that, I'm sorry. But he was just so good at his job. He was vivacious, he understood the menu, he listened to what we wanted, and he gave us more. I told him that I think he'll go far in life. There's no way he can't. Then there's the food. I'm Mexican American and I felt like I cook this. It was so good but the best part was, that I didn't have to work for it. I just ordered it. I had the green chili enchiladas and the homemade sauce was quite tasty. The rice and the beans were done, right. And the simple salsa they provided was quite delicious. We also had the appetizer platter . The flautas and taquitos were perfect. I didn't eat the quesadilla, my husband and son said it was better than expected, for being simply cheese. In the end, we were all satisfied . Even the refreshers we had, were quite tasty. No overwhelming flavors. No generic flavors. I give it a five. And we'll be back.

We had been here once before and had great service. Hoping to experience that service again, we came all the way from Whittier, Ca and unfortunately we weren't given good service. We waited for 35-40 mins with 5 guest all while there were two tables with 5-6 seats being reserved since the time we got there. Typically guest have 15-20 mins to show up until the table is given up to the people waiting. We left because it didn't seem like we were given attention the way other guests coming in were being attended to. Not saying it's a race thing especially with us being Hispanic and it being a Mexican restaurant but it felt that way. We understand the demographics of the area. It just felt off at the time. Hopefully this can be fixed so eager customers aren't disappointed. (Photos from first experience)
