Al Pastor Burrito
Delicious Burrito, by far one of my favorite things! Excellent flavor. Highly recommend pairing it with a jalapeño margarita.
Classic Guacamole
Best Guacamole!!! It is a must have every time we go!
Sopes
Literally the BEST SOPES IVE EVER HAD! I'm so sad they've been closed during quarantine I'm counting down the days they open so I can eat them again. The servers are also some of the nicest people I've ever met. Even when they're busy they go out of their way for each of their customers to make sure they have everything they need and are so sweet. I can't wait for you guys to open again! I'll be there as soon as you do to get my sopes and salsa!!
Enchiladas de Queso
The BEST enchilada I've ever had. It's unlike anything I've ever had before. Whenever I bring someone new to the restaurant I make them try it and they totally agree. Not to mention, great drinks and salsa!!
Queso Dip
Where do I even begin! Espadin is my favorite Mexican spot in Temecula and every time I come here I get the chorizo queso! The queso with the chips just MELTS in your mouth! Also the service here is incredible, everyone is willing to help you out with the menu and their personalities are amazing! It makes me feel like it's family owned. I will always recommend Espadin to others and I will always come back!
Camarones a la Diabla
You just can't beat this terrific restaurant! Downtown Temecula's best Mexican & continental cuisine with superb drinks. The service is wonderful and the ambiance will make you feel special. Go now!
Nachos
Espadín is the best Mexican food in Temecula (or anywhere, for that matter). Their food is fresh, unique but traditional, and overall incredible. The portions are big and there is not one that that I have had that doesn't taste amazing! The staff are nice, helpful, and make the whole experience absolutely incredible. The bartenders are fantastic and make amazing drinks (the margaritas are the best!) When family comes to visit, I always take them to Espadín for the food, atmosphere, and quality time spent together! You can't beat this restaurant's vibe and food. I will always recommend this place! Thank you for the amazing times, Espadín!
Sopes
One of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to! I have dined in many restaurants from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and these sopes were outstanding! Sopes were served to perfection. Drinks were refreshing and presentation was beautiful. Sangria was exquisite. I would definitely be returning.
Ceviche de Pescado
We like a lot good food cold drinks
Enchiladas de Pollo
Best Mexican food in Temecula! First, the atmosphere is amazing, rustic but elegant and so comfortable and inviting. My chicken enchilada dish was delicious. Generous amounts of chicken baked together with a green salsa, cheese and cilantro crema, perfection! The serving size was generous and I even had enough to take a little home. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in town!
Enchiladas de Camaron
We really enjoyed our lunch. We ordered Enchiladas de Langosta and Enchilidas de Camaron. We also ordered guacamole. The food was very delicios and authentic. We will be recommending this place to our friends.
Pollo Asada
Delicious marinated chicken tucked into corn taco shells with a lovely avocado salsa, chopped white onions and squeeze of fresh lime. Makes my mouth water just thinking about taking another bite! My husband had the salmon with mango salsa, a delectable dish! We both ordered the classic Caesar and they actually give you anchovies - BROVO that is how it should be made. Service was very good too!
Nachos
We went for happy hour on a Friday might. We had the margaritas and chicken nachos. Wow! Never had nachos so good! The cheese blend they use made them creamy! Margaritas were top notch! It's a great location, amazing food, and good service! Grab a senor or senoritta and have some fun!!!
Tacos
The tacos were amazing. My 6 year old son insisted ordering the tacos off the adult menu so we both ended up ordering them. We both finished our plates! The meat was cooked perfectly. My son asks to go back all the time.
Empanada
Espadin has a delicious vegetarian empanada option. It is light and crispy on the outside, warm and savory inside. Paired perfectly with a mouth watering chimchurri and jalepeno jelly that is sweet and spicy... mmm I'm making myself want another!!
Enchiladas De Langosta
We were in town for wine tasting & looking for a restaurant. Luckily we stumbled upon this gem. We tried several items chorizo muscles, Agua Chile, lobster enchiladas, ancho steak. For dessert we tried the churros (free with check in) & a few margaritas. The service was great & the restaurant was cute. Check it out if you are In Temecula
Churros de Coco
These are the best churros! A good size, perfectly balanced between crispy outside and doughy inside, and WARM! They taste so fresh and homemade. The cajeta sauce is such a unique dulce de leche/caramel flavor and I loved trying it!
Churros de Coco
These were the most amazing, absolute BEST churros of my life!! I never know Churros could taste that incredible! They were soft and fluffy on the inside with a perfectly light crunch on the outside - not at all like other dry, too-crunchy churros I'm used to. I legit DREAM about the Espadín Churros! These are a MUST order! I cannot wait to come back and have them again! But don't just take my word for it, it's hard to describe the deliciousness, you must try them yourself!
Chorizo Mussels
Sooo amazing!!!! Traveled from Florida where the seafood is out of this world! This dish is my new home in FL meeting my home home in San Diego
Chicken Mole
The mole sauce was amazing and made true to origin! We have also had their tacos and oysters..... everything is amazing and each time we go, the food nor service disappoints!
Enchiladas de Camaron
This dish was delicious! Everything tasted so fresh!
Enchiladas de Queso
My absolute favorite item on the menu! The sauce is amazing—I get this almost every time I visit.
Tacos
We love Espadin, always have the queso dip and a selection of tacos, Whatever we've chosen, be it the carne asada, shrimp any we're fantastic. We've taken friends and had fajitas, burritos and many other dishes, none have ever disappointed. Add the great food to a lovely margarita and you have the perfect meal.
Churros de Coco
These churros are quite possibly the best dessert item I have ever tried! The churros melted in your mouth and were accompanied by delicious caramel and chocolate sauce. I will be dreaming about these for a long time!
Enchiladas de Camaron
Super delicious!!!!!
Empanada
super buenos empanadas, me encantaron....dos mas porfavor...lol
Nachos
The beef short rib nachos are absolutely mouthwatering! So glad we stumbled across this little place when we were leaving Temecula after a few hours at the winery. The sangria was also delicious! We will be back!
Mezcal
Such a great drink, love the smoke of the mezcal
Carne Asada
I'm very picky about my carne Asada and this by far was the best I've ever tried. Fast service and a welcoming environment. I'll definitely be back soon and I don't stay close to this restaurant but I'm willing to make the drive.
Strawberry
Margaritas are delicious! And the green salsa and chips are amazing!!!
Carne Asada Burrito
ordered carne asada burrito, nothing like the picture, had only dried burnt meat. No pico, no cheese, no rice, no beans inside, just meat. Not satisfied
Chicken Mole
Love this place! It's my go Mexican/taco Tuesday restaurant. I crave their chicken dishes, its too good. I recommend if you want good Mexican food and drinks!
Ceviche de Camaron
Best ceviche i have had in years. This restaurant has an amazing menu. My family and i live to visit it when we are in town.
Sopes
Espadín is my absolute favorite restaurant in town! They have great food, great service, and great drinks! The atmosphere is so much fun and the decorations are absolutely beautiful. I ordered the sopes, and a Jalisco buck to drink. The quality of the ingredients is really unbeatable. Everything tastes so fresh, and so delicious. My favorite part of the restaurant is the experience, from the Latin music playing in the background, to the lights hanging from the ceiling. I always feel like I'm having a night in Mexico! Thank you to everyone at Espadín, I'll always keep coming back.
Nachos
BEST. NACHOS. EVER. Get them with carnitas, pair them with a spicy margarita, and your day will be made. Portion is huge so you'll think to yourself, "Hmmm... probably best to share." And then you'll try them and wish you had ordered them all for yourself.
Ancho New York Steak
We were in town for wine tasting & looking for a restaurant. Luckily we stumbled upon this gem. We tried several items chorizo muscles, Agua Chile, chicken mole,ancho steak. For dessert we tried the churros (free with check in) & a few margaritas. The service was great & the restaurant was cute.
Southwest Chicken Salad
This salad is sooo good! Fresh ingredients and lots of flavor. Feels like a composed entree and not just a sad salad!
Empanada
The empanadas here are my absolute favorite! Paired with a spicy margarita, I am in my happy place. I love Espadin! Always look forward to coming back.
Carne Asada Burrito
After a festive day with family, My husband and 2 adult sons popped in to try the Cadillac Margaritas, but stayed for a delicious dinner. They had a great selection of appetizers and a talented Guitar player setting a relaxed mood. We started with the Ceviche shrimp and Quesadilla, very fresh and tasty. My sons ordered the 3 taco combos and sampled different fillings, and said all were amazing. Hubby had the Burritto with wet red sauce, big portions and very good. I ordered the sopes carnitas version. Probably the BEST sopes I have had, Delicious and all dishes presented beautifully. Service was friendly and pretty fast for how packed the place was. I think Espadin will be a fave go to in Old Town Temecula for us . Bravo!
Tacos
Short Rib Tacos are amazing!
