Lienzo Charro Mexican Restaurant Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Temecula

I visited Lienzo Charro Mexican Bar and Grill for a late lunch while traveling through the area. The restaurant is quite spacious, with pool tables in the back and ample seating for large groups. There is also a well-stocked bar with seating. The establishment was relatively empty, so I chose to sit at the bar to watch the television. The bar tender took my drink order and brought chips and salsa. The green salsa was quite enjoyable, although I was surprised by the small serving size. I then ordered the calda de camaron shrimp soup, which took a while to arrive. The soup was somewhat disappointing, as it consisted of a tomato base with carrots, potatoes, and a few shrimp. Honestly, I had higher expectations for the price of $18.99. The service was slow and inattentive. I was not offered a drink or water refill and had to search for someone to present my bill so I could pay. Curiously, the only other person at the bar kindly stood up and processed my checkout. It was clearly not their best day, and this may have been an anomaly, but unfortunately, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend Lienzo Charro Mexican...

I came to this place about 7 years ago, but did not like the food; the fajita was dry and burnt. Today, I wanted to give it a second chance, but had an even worse experience. I ordered the 7 mares seafood soup. I was hungry and was looking forward to a delicious soup. To my dismay, The clams had a very unpleasant smell, taste and texture, did not taste fresh, and it had too many. After having some shrimp, fish, imitation crab (which I don’t care for), I decided to try the crab leg. As soon as the shell touched my mouth, I noticed a disgusting aftertaste and an extremely foul smell. It made me nauseate. I immediately informed the waiter that the crab leg was spoiled. He apologized and took the soup. A different waiter brought us the check and said they had given us a discount. Seriously? You give a customer spoiled food and think that the correct way to fix your mistake is to have the customer pay a discounted price? Never coming back here and do...

I did not like this restaurant at all. I went based off of other reviews somewhere around 35 or so. All we're almost five stars for this restaurant but I'm afraid I can agree with that. Might be at 3-star but this place was somewhat disappointing. I went in a Sunday not knowing they had brunch. I still took a look at the menu and it may be some other dishes might be better but the brunch had no selection. Some of the food look old and the fruit was disgusting. It look like it had been frozen and stored for several days and yet they still try to serve it like that. What was most pointing was the brunch selection. Not much to go on especially for the price. Ended up spending about $45 -$50 for one adult and two kids. The bar looks interesting maybe for the nightlife but not for the food. I would really give it one stars but I'll be generous since I didn't try any of the off...
