" I went to Murrieta's with my family, and we were really excited about the food. It started off great; the chips and salsa were fresh and tasty. However, when our main dishes arrived, some of them were lukewarm, which was quite disappointing. I had the enchiladas, and they were decent but lacked that authentic flavor I was looking for. Service was okay but not as attentive as we hoped, as we waited a long time for our bill. I think I might give it another shot since the environment is perfect for family gatherings, but I hope for a better experience next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'll keep it straightforward: Murrieta's is solid. I've been there multiple times, and while I appreciate the effort in the food presentation, the flavors sometimes leave me wanting more. Each time I've had the same complaint about the lack of spice in their dishes. However, the margaritas are undoubtedly a standout feature! I had a pleasant experience with the service, but it felt rushed due to the crowd. If you're looking for a nice atmosphere and a decent meal, this is the place, but don't expect michelin-star flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an exceptional dining experience at Murrieta's! The food was wonderful; I enjoyed the Pollo Sonora, which was juicy and flavorful. Plus, the margaritas are highly recommended—refreshingly perfect on a hot day! I appreciated how fast the service was. The vibrant atmosphere with live music made the night even better. Will definitely be back for another fun evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came to Murrieta’s last night and had an amazing time! The staff was incredibly welcoming, the food was authentic, and the atmosphere fantastic! I had the enchiladas suizas, and they were filled with oh-so-good chicken. The flavors took me back to my visit to Mexico! I left very satisfied, already thinking about when I can come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to our visit, however, I left feeling underwhelmed. The food was passable at best. I found the tacos bland and lacking seasoning—the guacamole also didn't excite me. To make things worse, our server seemed overwhelmed and forgetful, which didn’t help either. For the price I paid, I expected much more. I hate to say it, but I won't be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful birthday celebration at Murrieta's! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our large group, even pre-setting our tables with chips and salsa. I tried the mole chicken and it was just exquisite—perfectly balanced and rich in flavor. The delicious churros for dessert were a big hit, especially with the chocolate sauce. The restaurant was buzzing, but the service was consistently friendly and attentive. It's definitely a place I plan to come back to with my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Murrieta's never disappoints! The salsa has a kick, and I appreciate that they keep the chips coming. I ordered the carnitas, and they were perfectly slow-cooked. The staff here is friendly—it's nice when the workers are genuinely cheerful. My only wish is that they would introduce more vegetarian options. All in all, though, I'm always happy with my experience here! " (*Curated Review*)
