Texas Lil's Temecula Reviews
My wife and I were on the hunt for a good BBQ spot when we found this hidden gem! Starting out with the sampler platter which was amazing we then moved on to the main course trying the full rack of beef ribs for myself and the wifey trying the full rack of baby back ribs. Both fall off the bone rack of ribs were on point with flavor and complimented well with fresh coleslaw and shoestring fries. Bring an appetite if your planning on having the full racks or you'll be taking some home with you. The staff was friendly and attentive adding to our pleasurable experience which was nothing short of exceptional. We will definitely be back for more!
FOOD IS GREAT. And believe me I don't say this often. We tried baby back ribs and brisket dip with some chili, if I had a second stomach would definitely go for another round! Lol. Will come visit again
I completely forgot to leave a review last time I was here so I'm doing it while I'm here this time - its amazing. The steak, the pickle chips, everything. I haven't had a single thing that wasn't delicious and since its a little off the main street (like 50 feet lol) its never packed like the others. Definitely a hidden gem!
This place is small but it’s h so good!! We shared the combo plate… so good. The barbecue rib sample was luscious and tender.. got seated quick. Waitress was so nice and helpful. Good choice that night for us!
Regrets for not taking any photos. The shallow wide bowl they serve their Texas Red Chili in came looking like a lake of chili soup. Our server generously offered to do the cheese & onions (chopped raw) on the side. Dawned good flavor, heat and spiciness were spot on. Plenty of beef, no beans. We paired that with their Roasted Chicken offering (half of a modest bird) which was similarly amazing. Their cole slaw runs to wet and sweet, my sister would approve (highest honors). It came with fries sprinkled w/ parmesan. Trying to avoid fries myself. After having a few, they were fantastic, too. Karaoke started, and pretty well cleared out the bar area. It was not from being too loud.
We actually pulled up with the intent to go next door to the sandwich shop but decided to give this spot a try instead. Good move. The food was fantastic, freshly cooked, hot, and plentiful. The kids loved the chicken tenders and we split the brisket dip. Fantastic sandwich and the fries are crispy and delicious.
Delicious food I got the catfish plate with hush puppies and the fries were really crispy I recommend the single portion for the fish instead of the double fish I ended up getting full with one piece kids loved their food as well waiter was very attentive and helpful we ate inside since it was hot but there is out door sitting well be going back hopefully soon!
This place has the best beef ribs I’ve ever had. They’re so good that I don’t want to try beef ribs anywhere else for fear of being disappointed. I’ve returned several times with my family and have recommended it to others to try the beef ribs. The Lil’s Sample Platter is also delicious. I really enjoy the atmosphere here—they have karaoke, and the staff is very friendly. They even offer margaritas for just $5. I hope they continue to maintain the current quality of their food.
Very chill spot with nice A/C to make this place good place. Everyone is really helpful and polite. The food is super delicious and matches the price on the menu. Serving size enough to take some home too. The steak was perfectly made. I recommend this place above everything else offered in Temecula.
Good food with big portions and great service! We stopped on a trip to Old Town Temecula, and were pleased with the experience. I had the Beef Ribs, which were large and flavorful (though a little heavy on the sauce), and my partner had the Country Fried Steak, which was tender and tasty. She loved the elote corn side! We also shared a serving of Brisket Tater Skins, which were excellent - next time we come by the area, I'll definitely consider the brisket. Prices were about as expected for the area. Our server was upbeat and attentive, and the experience overall was excellent.
Great little place that wasn't too busy. We were waiting outside Mad Madeline's for 15 min and the line wasn't moving so we decided to try this, next door, and got right in. Glad we did. Great service, great food! I had the rib tips, they were excellent! My wife said their shoestring fries are the best, and I have to agree, they were very good! Plus $5 margaritas. Was not disappointed. Will definitely be back.
Stumbled across this place when the original place we were heading to was closed. Anthony was our server. Very attentive! Kind. Sat outdoors ... thanks Covid! ...but actually it was super comfortable. If you are looking for upscale, pass by. If you’re looking for good Texas style food (large portions and tasty), warm and welcoming atmosphere, then Texas Lils won’t let you down. It’s set back from Front Street, so they need a few signs to draw attention. Maybe the sign “Voted Best Margaritas” should do the trick. About those margaritas, good. Hit the spot. Not high-end tequila but they’re $5! Catfish and hush puppies was solid selection. A little on the corn bready side but very tasty and moist. Ribs were top notch. Ribs were not as smothered with barbecue sauce, so we ordered extra on side. Meat perfectly grilled and fell off the bone. Yummy!! Coleslaw was creamy and a bit sweet but some of the best I’ve had. Potato salad was mayo based with an egg and light vinegar taste, yet smooth flavor. French fries were lightly seasoned and perfectly fried. Who thought fries would be included in a review!?! The appetizer jumbo shrimp cocktail hit it out of the park! It had a soupy thin-based cocktail sauce with chopped cucumbers, onion, and avocados. A little more liquidity than I prefer but a splendid blend of flavors. Portion sizes were acceptable. Not overly large but definitely not skimpy. I would highly recommend anyone to stop by and give this place a try unless you were looking for white cloth napkins and overpriced cuisine. Well be back for sure!
Food was great service was great! I would recommend getting the beefy ribs. As stated on the name they really are beefy 10/10 ribs

I'm not sure what happened that night. But the food seemed to take longer than expected. They missed one of our plates and our guests had to wait. They didn't offer a discount or anything for their mistake. The food was good but nothing to brag about. The atmosphere was clean and welcoming. Voices echoed inside making it difficult to hear. Enjoyable for people who don't mind the loudness, such as myself. Will be back for another experience.

Decent food but servers are rude and act like we are inconveniencing them by being there. great cooks and good drinks but bad servers. they also concealed the drink prices on the drink menu. lame
They were really friendly here. We had taken out ribs which were tasty. ... We sat at the bar while we waited.
We were hungry and we got Fed for sure. Prompt service . Wings to start with lovely dip cream sauce and hot buffalo sauce sauce. Two medium rear ribeye’s and they were spot on. Generous portions and …
A great start to our trip! We had just arrived into town and decided to enjoy margaritas for happy hour. We had the brisket nachos which were amazing! Casual, laid back vibe with comfortable, shade…
OMG, the drinks were good. We only had the appetizers, being happy hour, we decided a few drinks and snacks. The pickles fries were great, the chili fries were not bad. The drinks were great. Now is the part we feel taken advantage of. Prices for shots were a bit much. We paid a bill of $226. With 2 rounds of shots for 4 of us and 3 regular drinks, 3 $5 margaritas and last 3 appetizers, two of these were happy hour appetizers. **Our own fault, the prices are not on the drink menu.** we won’t make that mistake again. **The $5 margaritas were totally worth their weight. **
