Lienzo Charro

We were amazed at how great the food and service is at this restaurant. The buffet is awesome. The employees are humble and great to talk to. James was so humble and took the time to tend to us. Recommend this restaurant to everyone. 😊 we love it here

First time here. Sunday breakfast buffet was great! Fresh made tortillas made on the spot. Menudo, Pozole, Enchiladas, Chile Verde, etc… Omelette bar, bright fresh fruit bar, Pan Dulce, Jukebox. The staff was friendly and attentive, especially James!

One of my favorite restaurants. I can not recommend it enough as one of the best Mexican sit-down places. They have a buffet on Sunday and dancing on another day (can't remember which). The food is amazing, and their chips and salsa's the best (complimentary and unlimited for every table).

A large restaurant and bar that can accommodate large parties easily. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The menu offered a large variety of items and the food was delicious. Many in our party took advantage of weekend dinner buffet. All were pleased with the buffet offerings. We will visit again for sure.

Came to have Valentine's dinner with my mom and nephews, enjoyed every minute ever. The waitresses were super friendly. Not to mention the Mariachi 🥰 they played a song for my mom and interacted with my nephews, even let one of they strum the strings on the guitar. And the food! SUPER YUMM!! we had the fish tacos, rice and beans, the skillet and chicken nuggets. We will definitely be going back again. Thank you guys for an amazing night.

One of our favorite Mexican restaurants in town! Great food and we love the Happy Hour margaritas with Tajin! Try the shrimp ceviche, it rocks! They also have a great Taco Tuesday special!

Great meal. Excellent Americano Mexican fare and a lively host who sings and dances. Great time!

I walked into a 90th Birthday party my first visit, so I knew it was going to be good. Service, food, and atmosphere were all perfect.

Visited with my group for business meeting and staff were very accommodating to our needs. The owner and staff were very welcoming. Sunday breakfast buffet was delicious. I loved the menudo and handmade tortillas.

We decided to celebrate my mom's 90th! Bday celebration. There were only 4 of us but we started off w complimentary chips & salsa, then we had a hamburger w fries, chile Verde combination plate, chips w cheese, beans & jalapeño & the Agua Chile green salsa ceviche (VERY HOT). My mom had a Margarita & a complimentary flan w candle! The food was delicious & well served. This is a huge restaurant w indoor & outdoor seating, I highly recommend it.

We ordered the Abondigas soup, cheese enchiladas & tamales. Every bite was delicious! The chips & homemade salsa were to die for! We will be back tomorrow for the al you can eat brunch buffet. Wednesdays are salsa dancing workshops!

Food quality has greatly improved over the last couple of years. Everything tastes great, and the people are very nice.

An excellent restaurant with wonderful people! Huge meals and great service,!

Always a pleasant experience here, greeted immediately and made to feel welcome. The server is friendly ad conversational. The food is very good. The buffet is definitely a winner also, all you can eat menudo and pazole? Who can say no to that? The place itself is unassuming and modest but big and they host lots of events. I highly recommend it over the mexican Cafe or the other one.

Sunday brunch. Decent price and authentic Mexican food, Buffet style. No sugary American brunch stuff like waffles or pancakes, but for the less picky eaters, real food. I'm partial to cheese enchiladas for breakfast and this place doesn't disappoint there! The fresh tortillas are a plus and there is an omelette person, with the option for fresh eggs. Service was a bit unorganized and hectic, but overall a good brunch.

The food was very good, but the service was slow. Went for Sunday brunch had to keep asking for more champagne. I will definitely give it another try, when in the area.

The Cadillac margarita was excellent! I had a taco which was great. The chips and salsa were mostly chopped onion and some jalapenos in a green salsa. Good carnitas but tortillas seemed to be store-bought and nuked. I would not reorder a relleno.

It was my family's first time here, and it was a bit confusing to us at first. They seemed to be shorthanded, so it seemed that no particular customer got the adequate attention. We did enjoy the buffet, the fruit was sweet, and you can even get waffles that are not out at the buffet. I do understand that they got busy, and I would visit this place again.

Had never been here so as usual we were looking forward to a good meal. Ordered the mixed fajitas and the carne asada. Meat in both dishes was overcooked and dry. Everything else was fine. Service was good and the decor inside and out was nice.

It was recommended by our daughter. My husband and I went to try it out. We usually go to Jimenez or Carnitas. But this place was incredible. They have the best cook and so we took some of our family on Sunday. The green pork Chile was given the thumbs up by all, and freashly made tortillas. Albondiga soup, just like Mom made it.👍

I order chicken mole had good flavor I would like more sauce and a thigh or leg instead of breast since it's dry

Beef fajitas were pretty good the torta was the best thing, tamarindo drinks good enough. All in all the restaurant it’s ok.

Food was good, had shrimp plate, Costa Azul, beans were delicious, reg margarita blended was really good. Service was ok, kept trying to get out ASAP as it was too darn hot 🔥🥵 and humid inside, melted my makeup and so much for taking a shower, I was sticky icky by the time I got to the Casino. I doubt I'll go back bcuz it felt like a sauna.

Came in for an event and the service was terrible. Bartender was too busy hanging out with friends to acknowledge other patrons. Nah I’m good won’t be back.

The staff was very positive. Our order wasn't brought out in a timely manner - they'd completely forgotten to bring out 2 of our kids' meals. But they were quick to correct the problem. The food left much to be desired. We tried shrimp cocktails, ceviche, carnitas, tortas. The atmosphere was pleasant. It seems like a good place for adults to mingle and enjoy some music. Not sure if I'd come back for the food though.

Came for Sunday brunch. The food was ok the service was decent. The place could have been more cleaner but over all an ok experience. The dessert bar really lacked effort. I wish they had more options as far as the brunch buffet. Personally I wouldn't return.

The breakfast buffet looked delicious but the cheese enchiladas were cold and carnitas were on bones that looked just like plain unseasoned ribs. They did have omelets that you could have your way with all the fixings. I won't be going back. Thank you

Service was good. Margaritas were good. Chips and salsa were complimentary and good. Ordered cheese enchiladas and Chile rellenos. Chile relleno was a green chili pepper wrapped around an egg omelets. No buen, enchilada not good either. Wife Ordered taco salad. No Bueno Will not go back. Total bill about $60.00. Not even close to worth the amount

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 Bar and Grill.

We came in with a large party around late July. As we were sat down the place ended up starting to get busy, but the restaraunt seemed understaffed for the capacity it had. On top of this, our drinks were never refilled, even after asking. We did get our chips and salsa refilled a few times. The food was pretty good.

Wow the buffet is not it, sad they changed it. They had so much more last time I went, barely any selection. For Breakfast buffet you need to have more Breakfast items. Defenently not worth the price it was so expensive

Horrible service . The food on the menu was not what was served. And then when I approached the server that my food order was missing something he said oh the chef forgot to add it and didn’t really care to provide a substitute or even a discount for not serving the correct food item. For nachos it’s just tostado chips with melted shredded cheese

Terrible service. Food is not even close to authentic Mexican food. We sat at our table for 1 hour before getting chips, salsa or water for our party. Our party started getting up to get their drinks at the bar. One party at another table just left. There was one server for one party of 15 and four other tables of 2-4 people. The server was also the bartender so we didn’t get our food for over an hour. I would skip this place. Would give them zero stars if I could.

I've eaten at many eateries in Temecula, by far this place was the worst. I think it was the owner who waited on me. I ordered Chicken Fajitas, completely dry. He never brought my flour tortillas or chips and salsa. The rice and beans had a funny chemical taste. WIERD!!! I couldn't eat any of it. He never asked if I would care for something else. Also, the place was dirty, I should have exited stage left left upon walking in.

I will never eat here again. We booked a buffet dinner for our wedding party and made sure everything was fine when we arrived. The owner will try to over charge you, even after you paid the agreed upon price. Service was horrible and slow. We made them more in one night than they would of made in an entire week. They are very deceitful and will try to con you to not paying more money at the end of the night when they think you won’t know any better. DO NOT EAT HERE!! They will lie and try and get more and more money out of you.

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 menu plates.

******Senergy gift card network ****** You can find great specials on Senergy gift cards at Costco online. I got $100 for $58 and two out of three of the restaurants I tried are really good. This one was the exception. I tried a long time ago and figured it wasn't something special since I hadn't been back. But since I was trying local restaurants in the the Senergy gift card network I gave it another try. It's like a ghost 👻 town in there. The buffet didn't look very appetizing. And service was below average.

I decided to give this place a try. As I entered the restaurant, I noticed that the this establishment was very dark and gloomy. The entire restaurant was empty, and now I know why. The chips and salsa that are provided as an appetizer are okay. Their salsa was watery and not much flavor. The pictures on the menu are not very appetizing, but I read other reviews about the food being good, so I decided to order something. Therefore I ordered 2 carne asada tacos that comes with rice and beans. I kid you not, the tacos were very sad looking and small. They provide the garnish of the tacos on the side, but for $16, I was expecting something more. The rice and beans tasted good, but the beans did not look fresh. The only upside was the waitress who was very nice and polite. I can't recommend this restaurant, and if you need pics abou the restaurant, please referr to Jim Johnson's post.

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 not recommend.
