Reviews for Joe Aguilar’s Templo Del Sol in Riverside, CA

That's what I'm talking about!!! ????pure and simple. My order was made to my taste, they suggested their house sauce for my... huevos rancheros. For 30 yrs, every day or at least 4 times a week I eat my huevos rancheros the same way. The sauce was asurprise, not what I'm use to, but not bad at all either, something different. The customer service is off the chart, theseladies made me feel like home. But don't be fooled, these nice sweet ladies pack a punch with their salsa roja. Loved it!!!! Read more

Fabulous green chili verde. Great beans and rice. Wonderful staff/owner. They need to get better or homemade tortilla chips.... Basic store bought chips. Salsa was pretty good, I would go back again and again. Read more

This place is sort of hidden, more of a locals type of spot but all are welcomed. I started going here about four years ago. I... went for taco tuesday once and was immediately hooked. Staff is great and always checking in on you. They have the best tacosdorados around but they have something that most restaurants around here do not have. Their enchiladas are hands down some ofthe best I've had in recent years! The sauce that comes over them with the melted cheese, is just phenomenal. They are pipinghot so be careful when digging in!! They sell beer too!! Read more

Very good Mexican restaurant. Big portions, tasty, and reasonably priced. Location tip: It's a bit hard to spot this place, as... the trees obscure its signage. It's right across the street from IHOP, on University.. that should help you find it. Enjoy! Read more

This is my second time coming in, the first time I was looking for a job (I?ve worked in kitchens for years) and discovered this... place accidentally because it appeared on my maps- despite my never noticing this hidden gem even living only blocks away. Theatmosphere is very comfortable, you feel right at home as soon as you take a seat. I?ve been helped by two women so far, bothare very sweet and helpful. The staff is patient and happy to help you figure out what you?re likely to enjoy, I even requestedan item that had apparently since been removed from the menu and was no longer available- but when I expressed that I was bummedto hear that because it sounded so good, they figured out a way to make it for me anyway. Everything is incredibly well-priced,especially for having a true ?grandma?s kitchen? vibe to the restaurant as a whole. There are many items on the menu that Ialmost never see at Mexican restaurants in the area, including many soups, salads and even several desserts that each lookedfantastic. I?ve decided to make an effort to come here to eat instead of the mostly generic food and atmosphere generally foundin the area, I would highly recommend you do the same. The location makes the restaurant almost blend into the background andthe surrounding area has many closed shops which doesn?t help it stand out as an open business with exceptional staff andservice-which it most certainly is. Come check this place out, you won?t be disappointed. Read more

A hole in the wall????. A nice place to eat that brings back memories of Grandmas casa. The wooden chairs are the same dining... chairs my grandma had in her dining room. Food is authenic sazon de comida mexicana. Comida hecho con amor. I will definitely ba regular customer. Read more

Yoooo this is the spot close to UCR. They have amazing tacos, their menu is pretty big, the employees are the nicest, and they... are SUPER accommodating. I definitely recommend temple del sol to anybody in the area or anybody passing by on the 215, it'sclose! Read more

Almost everything was good. The asada burrito was a little on the smaller side, the beer tasted a little funky and I wasn't a... fan of the shredded beef. Their carnitas was bomb and so was their chili relleno, I did get the relleno with enchilada sauce.Salsa was spicy! AC was rocking and that's always a plus on these hot summer days. All in all I'll be back. Read more
