About This Place

Located in the vibrant heart of Temecula’s Old Town, Landeros Mexican Grill + Cantina offers an inviting escape into authentic Mexican flavors paired with a modern, cozy atmosphere. This restaurant masterfully blends traditional recipes with fresh ingredients, resulting in dishes that excite the palate and warm the soul.

The menu is a celebration of Mexico’s rich culinary heritage, featuring crowd-pleasers like the Enchilada Trio, tender Chimichanga, and the succulent Camarones a La Diabla. Fans of classic tacos will be delighted by the extensive variety presented in the Soft Taco Flight, including favorites such as Tacos Al Pastor, Carne Asada, and Chorizo Tacos. Vegetarians are not left behind, with thoughtfully crafted options like the Papa Taquitos and Tacos Vegetarianos that prove bold flavors don’t require meat.

Signature dishes like Shrimp Enchiladas with Fajita Vegetables and the hearty Carne Asada Plate showcase the kitchen’s commitment to depth and balance in both flavor and presentation. Each bite is vibrant, combining smoky, spicy, and tangy notes that evoke the spirit of Mexican street food but with an elevated touch.

Complement your meal with a refreshing sip from their creative cocktail lineup. The Mango Habanero Margarita delivers a zesty kick with a touch of sweetness, while the Mimosa Flight offers a bubbly, colorful tasting experience perfect for brunch or a lively start to the evening. The Landeros Mule and Spiked Horchata infuse traditional Mexican beverages with contemporary flair, rounding out a drink menu that is as exciting as the food.

Beyond the food and drinks, the ambiance at Landeros Mexican Grill + Cantina invites guests to relax in a modern setting accented with ornamental touches, like the beautiful indoor tree that has become a favorite seating spot according to patrons. The staff’s warmth and professionalism stand out, with reviews highlighting attentive servers like Yarry and kind hostess Rose who make every visit feel personalized and welcoming.

While service can sometimes feel a bit slow during busy times—as noted by some diners—the overall experience remains memorable thanks to the restaurant’s flavorful dishes and friendly atmosphere. Diners rave about the generous portions, especially the “huge” Chile Verde Burrito and the flavorful Carne Asada Fries, both of which are satisfying for anyone craving hearty Mexican comfort food.

With plenty of options for meat lovers, vegetarians, and cocktail enthusiasts alike, Landeros Mexican Grill + Cantina is a must-visit destination for those seeking an authentic taste of Mexico infused with Californian hospitality. Whether celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in an evening meal, this local gem promises a fulfilling and vibrant dining experience that Temecula residents and visitors will want to return to again and again.

    Very good quality food and excellent personnel at Landeros. It was my first time there, and it will not be my last.

    What a great find. We stopped in for dinner at Landeros and Rose was so kind and sweet. She explained that there was a 30 minute wait list and within 15 minutes we had a lovely table be the ornamental tree in the restaurant. Yarry was our server and he was professional, kind and efficient. We both ordered drinks as my wife had a margarita light on agave and I had a Cadillac margarita. The chips were fresh and the salsa quite tasty. My wife ordered the chicken verde enchilada entree and I had Chicken fajitas. Both dishes were excellent. The vibe and ambiance was upbeat and positive. Rose stopped by several times to check on us as did Yarry. Great place and highlyrecommended!

    Continuing the bday celebration with the man, we found this lil cozy spot in Old Town. We were seated very quickly, took a look at the menu, typical Mexican cuisine. Their drink menu oh my. But, after we were seated it took 20 minutes before we got some water, chips salsa. Then another 15 for someone to ask hey has anyone stopped by your table. Now mind you another couple was seated after us. Received water, drinks, chips/salsa within 10 minutes. If you know me, I was hot. The man said wait, so I waited. Finally the server apologetically came over, took our order and the food was out in about 20 minutes. Was it good? It’s fine. I liked the spot, will try again. You will like it too. I loved the decor.

    Pretty good Mexican restaurant in Old Town Temecula. The Chile Verde Burrito is huge and definitely filling. Good flavor overall and just hits the spot. They have a Margarita Flight too which is pretty fun to share. Good variety and my favorite was the hibiscus. The service is pretty standard and the ambiance was modern and fun.

    Our first time in Temecula and we stopped here to eat. It was excellent! The food, atmosphere, and service were all exceptional. Don't skip this restaurant, you will enjoy it. I loved that they had potato tacos. As a vegetarian there aren't many options and so when I saw they had potato tacos I jumped on it. They were delicious! We are foodies, so we know what good food is an it is definitely this spot.
