Cocina Del Carmen Temecula — Restaurant in Temecula

Our third time back. I’ve tried something different each time and they’ve all been amazing! I don’t have a favorite yet, but I’m leaning towards the Relleno plate. Great flavor, reasonable prices and very hospitable.

We’re not short on choices living in Temecula and everyone has their “spot” for whatever the occasion. This is a family establishment expanding from Vista. Very clean and cute, but no booths or super large eating area. However, it’s not a taco shop either. We were seated, waited upon and the menu is unique with regional Oaxacan cuisine.

Besides the quality of our meals being most important to us, I can tell you that: we haven’t had to wait for a table, been blown out by a discoteca where alcohol is first and food is second, don’t need to avoid old town bcuz it’s the weekend or filled up on two baskets of chips and salsa while our food is being prepared.

Finally! A Oaxacan food experience right in our neighborhood. As a San Diego native, and moving up to Temecula, it was hard to find a truly authentic place that served delicious food.

Explore their menu and don't be afraid to try out the not so common food like the Tlayudas, molotes, and chicken Mole. Service has been impeccable and kind. They'll always give you that family first feel when you walk in. I can't wait to see what this business' future holds for this city. Welcome to Temecula,...

I have seen the reviews from this place and wanted to give it a try. Being from San Diego moved to the area about 2 years ago, I had been searching for a place that has green enchiladas with the toppings of my choice. Glad I found it! The restaurant was open to my modification of not having dairy and the husband and wife were humble, hospitable and very accommodating! Will definitely return to try the other dishes!

The food tastes fresh and salsas were delicious!

And for the only bad review for x3 stars when ordering through Grubhub, food is never fresh with Grubhub. Going there definitely makes it a welcoming satisfying experience. Be kind to new restaurants as we do want the area to continue having new diverse...
