Combo meals are very good. Chile rellenos are the best.

Great service. Very attentive!
February 22, 2020
There was only 1 guy taking care off the bar and hole restaurant buy him self, with 1 lady cleaning tables and anything else she had to do. Bless both of them they were busting there butts doing there best,but we never was asked if we would like any water or anything we had to flag the waiter down if we needed anything.But again it was absolutely not there felt!Who ever is running that show Saturday mornings and afternoon needs to put another person or 2 on the floor.And I also have a feeling there's only 1 cook, because it took forever to get our food.But on that note the food was very good,i give it a thumbs up....

The food is authentic with excellent flavor. The salsa was really good. The service by the owner is always top notch. We love visiting and supporting our local restaurant owners. And by the way, they have live Mariachis every Friday evening, a beautiful bar, a small party room, dance floor and now their beautiful outdoor patio with heaters. Go see them. Daily HAPPY HOUR TOO! A year and a half ago, our daughter's wedding reception was held here: partially indoors and partially on the outdoor patio where we were able to set up our own lights and music. The owner Genaro is very, very accommodating.

Ambience is nice, plenty of space and parking is easy.

Great service, large portions, nearly authentic Mexican.
April 21, 2019
My friend left his wallet at the table with several hundred dollars in it. We called they were honest and held the wallet until we got back. The food was authentic and so did! The service was spot on! Going back soon!

It was ok, If you like bland food you will definitely enjoy
November 7, 2018
The food is always delicious, the service is great, and they've always got some kind of dance lessons available to take!
November 5, 2018
Good food Good portions Salsa good Service is good
November 4, 2018
Food was subpar and tasteless. Didn't taste fresh (we were there just after it opened). Place looked tired and in need of modernization. Also had restaurant equipment in full view of diners and it looked dingy. I think it's past its prime and really needs a makeover or it will not survive.
October 7, 2018
Love the food. More authentic Mexican food than Americanized. Staff is always pleasant and helpful and the service is always spot on.
September 24, 2018
Good Service and food, new outside patio area seating. Nice atmosphere and comfortable!
September 16, 2018
Slow service, no one at the front to seat us, attitude from salsa class girls at the front when we asked for help.
September 12, 2018
The food was amazing and we were served right away with hot delicious food and they had a full bar which was nice for having a drink. Family and adult fun.
September 7, 2018
Excellent Service, Delicious Mexican Food, seafood is fresh and taste delicious.
August 25, 2018
If you want authentic Mexican food this is the place. Our favorite restaurant. Staff is very friendly. Food is served hot. Has activities like line dancing. Enjoy coming here.
June 28, 2018
Poor service - we ordered taco salads and were charged extra to have chicken on the salads. We had to get out of our seats to ask someone to take our order and we had to ask someone to let us pay our bill. We won’t go there again.
June 17, 2018
Dining at Lienzo is always a great experience. The staff is always so nice and attentive and their food is always delicious and authentic.

May 20, 2018
Dirty, floors the brunch are had empty trays, platters Just didn’t like it
May 11, 2018
Food is excellent. More "authentic" Mexican style than most. Always welcoming atmosphere and staff.
April 16, 2018
Lienzo Charro is one of the few Mexican restaurants in town that serves authentic Mexican food. It's delicious and we've yet to be disappointed by any dish. Their staff is so attentive and ready to serve all of your needs.
April 15, 2018
Friendly staff, excellent food and a very comfortable dinning experience.
April 3, 2018
Genarro is always great to us and the food is always delicious!!
March 26, 2018
Food was ok. Margaritas were really bad. The server wasn't nice and got our order wrong. She seemed upset about the coupon and then took 10 minutes to process our payment when the restaurant wasn't busy.
March 20, 2018
Everything was pretty good. The meat in tacos could use some seasoning, but if you don't like spicy, it would be fine.
March 17, 2018
The food came out barely warm, the burrito was just a large flour tortilla filled with chicken (chicken was good), but no other ingredients, more tortilla than chicken. Rice & beans were ok, but cold.
February 26, 2018
Was not asked whether wanted soup, salad or beans and rice. They automatically brought beans and rice. I wanted the soup and the waiter told me "you didnt tell me" and i told him he didnt ask me.and then he tells me "oh its self explanatory that it comes with beans and rice. I had to sit there and argue with him how it wasnt and he should have asked which choice i wanted. I finally got the soup, which after all that may have gotten some "special treatment" because he was mad.
February 17, 2018
Food was very tasty, not generic. Not skimpy, actually one plate was enough for two of us and got dessert --- yum!
February 14, 2018

Everything was over priced, food was mediocre.
January 1, 2018
The food was tasty, loved the salsa, people were friendly but after we were served our food, didn't really get checked on and took forever to get the check. Had to go up and ask for it.

Love the new outdoor patio with a fabulous view!
June 26, 2017
Nachos over priced, and the quality of the nachos just was not there.
June 22, 2017
Excellent classic Southern Californian Mexican food. Simple and hardy. For a novelty, try the insanely big margaritas - big enough for 4 people.
May 4, 2017
Very helpful and friendly staff and service

Food is always great! It just took much longer to get our food this time.

July 20, 2016
We ordered lunch to go. Menu online VERY outdated. What we calculated at $31 - but cost was 49.50. (less $15 for coupon)
July 19, 2016
people were nice that waited on us, but soda machine was broken, food didn't have a lot of flavor. Probably won't return
July 11, 2016
to put it mildly, chicken picado was very poor.

We dined on a Friday evening and enjoyed the Friday Mariachi entertainment. Met the owner who was very nice.
January 13, 2016
Chips and salsa were great as were our two entrees.
September 28, 2015
We had a great time! The environment was pleasant. The place looks great. IT was quiet and not busy at all. Our waitress was great! She checked in on us several times during our visit. I ordered the fish ceviche and my husband had the chimichanga; we both enjoyed our meals. One thing I would have to complain about is the tortilla chips offered tasted a bit off. I can't explain what it is but almost tasted like what old frying oil smells like. That would probably be the only reason why I rated you as a 4 instead of a 5. I typically look forward to a mexican restaurant's chips and salsa.
August 25, 2015
we enjoyed the food and the service was good.
August 18, 2015
Hubby loves the giant margaritas.

Always great service and good food!
July 20, 2014
Decent food. Decent service. Food came very quickly. Alas, like any restaurant, once you pay the bill they ignore you...even for drink refills. And, we were surprised to see an almost $5 service charge on the bill (this was to cover the tip.) Only 2 of us...I've only seen an automatic service charge for large parties.
July 20, 2014
The staff and the food are excellent!
July 10, 2014
Couldn't get he waiters attention. Only a few people in the restaurant at the time. No drink refills offered. Waited too long for our bill, then finally got up and took it to the register.
June 21, 2014
Great food and service!
June 20, 2014

April 1, 2014
food and service was very good. Restaurant was empty at 3:30 p.m. so the atmosphere was a little eerie. Waiter did spill drink on my son and the chips a few seconds later. But we will return.
March 24, 2014
We enjoyed the food, everything was fresh and full of flavor and the service was very good. It was a bit expensive, so we would probably consider mostly for special occasions and not regular dining out.
March 10, 2014
We absolutely love their Sunday Brunch!
February 7, 2014
Excellent food choices.
February 6, 2014
Great tasty food. Generous amounts. Great service. Varied menu. Can find lots of selection. Very reasonable.

Each time we go, they seem to forget our sides that come with our meal (sour cream or guacamole, etc)

Horrible food
January 18, 2014
The music was nice but very loud.
November 26, 2013
The staff was very friendly. The guacamole was made with avocados that were old so we had to send it back. Our main meals were good but nothing spectacular. The salsa was yummy. The fried ice cream was pretty good!
November 4, 2013
The atmosphere is very friendly and nice.
October 28, 2013
I believe the tacos are pre-made and that's a BIG no-no in my book. I ordered my tacos without meat but with beans instead. They can in just an uncooked corn tortilla. Um, they should have told me that because I would NOT have ordered tacos.
October 19, 2013
The food was outstanding. Everything was prepared to perfection and tasted great!!
September 29, 2013
soup and apps were exceptional. Haddock and salmon were second to none.

The grouper was delicious and so were the mussels. Only complaint many of the mussels were empty and don't feel we got our money's worth of them.

April 21, 2013
poor quality, poor location, nice service but food was bad and overpriced. doesn't pay to use restaurant.com coupon
March 16, 2013
This restaurant is a little out of the way and if you don't know it's there, you will miss it. The food was very good! Not like chain Mexican restaurants. Plus it was VERY clean and the service was excellent. You could tell the menus are cleaned often. The only draw back was the loudness of the mariachi band. They were very good, but often we had to talk very loud to be heard.
March 9, 2013
Great ambiance and great food! Excellent service, too!

Friendly Atmosphere ... Great Service ... Great Food
June 24, 2012
when the manager spoke to us he was very friendly, the only problem was he and the bartender and two other guys were hanging out at the bar going over the books or something, but not paying any attention to the customers.
April 27, 2012
Great food and service.
March 25, 2012
Pleasantly surprised by the food and the server was great! Thank you.

Service was outstanding and the food was fresh. Great dinner.
January 29, 2012
wonderful experience, we would recomend it to our families and friends
January 13, 2012
My family eats at Lienzo Charro in Poway every year on Xmas Eve. The quality of food at the Temecula location was sub-par to the Poway location. It's all in the details: we asked for corn tortillas with our meal - we received flour. Our guacamole appetizer was over powered by lemons.
January 6, 2012
The place was empty only 2 families dining. We waited a very long time before our order was taken. I ordered a cheese enchilada without the enchilada sauce and two taquitos. My order came with the enchilada sauce on it. Instead of letting me at least eat the other items on plate while I waited for a new enchilad the waitress took the entire order back and I had to sit there without food while my family was eating their meals. They were pretty much done when my new order finally came out. My husband ordered a burrito and chicken taco but his order came with a beef taco. He didn't want to wait so he just ate it instead of having it sent back. I ordered a plain cheese burger for my 7 year old. When we got the bill the waitress charged us $7.50 and I recall the burger only being $4.95 + .30 cents for cheese.
December 27, 2011
Overall the food was fair. Nothing memorable about this restaurant. For the price, there are other mexican restaurants that are so much better and cheaper. Not a bad experience but certainly nothing exciting. I would not recommend it to anyone either without telling them it was so-so.
December 26, 2011
The experience and food were great. enjoyed it very much.
December 9, 2011
The service was great. The food was good - not the best I've ever had. I would have felt greatly ripped off if we had not had the coupon for the quality and quantity of food. I will however try it again.
November 19, 2011
This is our second time at Lienzos and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. The margaritas are amazing! The staff is pleasant and helpful. They also have Salsa dance lessons every Thursday and Friday!
November 6, 2011
chili verde worse i've had
November 5, 2011
almost empty, drinks in half size glass, food mediocre which made the prices too high.
October 24, 2011
Service was so SLOW. Our server was also acting as the bartender. We were there for a very long time with a three-year-old. It was not a good experience. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants in town with better food.
October 22, 2011
the food was not good, it tasted like it was a couple of days old!!!!
October 10, 2011
THE FOOD WAS VERY GOOD, HOWEVER I FIND IT POOR BUSINESS WHEN SOMEONE ORDERS FAJITA'S, AND THE MEAL ONLY COMES WITH 2 TORTILLAS, AND WHEN YOU ASK FOR MORE YOU ARE CHARGED.
September 7, 2011
The server was good but everything we ordered came to the table wrong. We ordered burgers for 4.95 and we were charged 7.50 instead. I will most likely not come back.
