Miguel's Jr. — Restaurant in Menifee

Fantastic experience! We've eaten at a couple other Miguel's Jr's in the past and were very disappointed so I went in with a lot of doubts, apprehension and low expectations. However they knocked my socks off! The service was outstanding. The cashier was very friendly, patient and helpful. We had a variety of foods due to 4 people ordering and everything was delicious. The nachos were enough for several people to share, they would be a filling meal for one person. The shredded beef was delicious and we were surprised with the amount of it put on the nachos. Loved the crispy chips and the cheese sauce was the perfect blend of melted creaminess and cheesiness. The guacamole was tasty (it's very smooth so if you expect chunks they wont be there! But give it a try it is really good!). They were great with the chips as well as as a dip for the taquitos. The taquitos only come in the chicken flavor. They were perfectly cooked and had a nice flavor as well as a bit of crunch. The rice and beans were very good together, nice homemade flavors and not overly spicy. The burritos we ordered were fairly large very filling according to the guys in our group. Both reported perfect ratio of fillings and seasoning and stated the flavors were "spot on". For a fast food Mexican resturant the food seems to surprisingly homemade. Service was fast. Prices were pretty reasonable. The counter area, cooking area (that I could see) and dining area was clean and well stocked. One thing I learned tonight was not all stores in a chain are the same! In this case it was a very...

Grew up, loving Miguel's. A customer over 40 years! Craving it!!! Quality is not what it used to be (new locations). Very sad. Sometimes, they get our order right. The Menifee and Murrieta locations are hit or miss. Sometimes, they don't put any cheese on your food. I guess that saves money (?). Items missing. Quesadillas are never at ALL brown on the outside. Don't know how the cheese melts. Burrito with no cheese and the tortilla just fell apart, taquitos with brown guacamole one night! I've been eating Miguel's since I was a kid, never had this before. One night, we spent over $9 on a Carne asada quesadilla. It was so tough, my husband (who would eat almost anything) had to pick out the meat. It was ALL gristle. It was almost like when they cut the meat, it was the bad pieces you would remove first. It was very bad. Another night, I ordered a BEAN tostada at the drive-through. Got home... I had a CRISPY TORTILLA, WITH LETTUCE, TOMATO, AND A TRICKLE OF CHEESE. NO BEANS AT ALL! I drove 15 minutes each way to bring home dinner. I called Miguel's, and the manager said, "Oh, we are out of beans, Noone told you?" I was so mad. I wasn't driving back. I thought I was being "pranked" or something. My next question is, how does a Mexican restaurant ever run out of beans? Anyway, when it's good, it's great. But they need better consistency. It happens too often. Corona location is still awesome, thank goodness. We loved Miguel's so much, we still go back...

Miguel Jr. looked good from the outside, as we proceeded to order several items for a total of over $50. Included in the items were Carne Asada Burritos at the tune of $7.19 plus? Carne Asada Tacos (can anyone tell we like Carne Asada?) at $3.19 a pop. Fresh Guacamole and Chips $4.39. Famous Garbage Burrito with Pork for $6.39 (how were we to know that Garbage was an apt name for this failure), and a couple of Bean and Cheese Burritos for $2.39 a piece. We were looking for a place to eat in a new area, and when we saw the building from the outside we thought, naively, this place was not a franchise. Have to admit we grew excited as we waited for the food to take home. As soon as we were back in our new place, we proceeded to eat what was bought. In no time we realized this place was a fiasco. The ratio of meat and other ingredients in the Burritos alone, was a sorry sight to see. The flavors way below par, and the silly tiny containers where supposedly we got their salsa, a joke. This is no mecca of Mexican food, just another franchise lurking for the innocent consumer to stop by and eat their food. Service was dismal, took a serious long time, even though it was almost empty inside. Bad choice, terrible investment, dismal food. Miguel Jr. got lost in our rear view mirror, with not one of the 5 people that ate their food wishing to ever...
