"Overall, it was a great experience, but the meat didn't taste the same as before. I could definitely tell the difference. I've visited this restaurant four times in total—twice in Moreno Valley, once in Perris, and once in Canyon Lake. The original location in Bell Gardens at La Grafy remains my favorite, and so far, only the Moreno Valley location has matched its flavor. The cashier was very friendly, and the wait wasn't long. The food was hot and fresh, although it lacked the original taste, and there were various chips offered. Still, it was a good meal!"

Without a doubt, this is the best restaurant in the world. The Mexican food here is outstanding. Alberto del Lago Elsinore never disappoints!

This is a great spot that's usually open late! Even if you order a meal, I highly recommend getting the beans on the side. They tend to overload the beans, which can make it seem like there's less steak on your plate.

"Awesome BBQ spot will definitely come back. Service was decent, staff was very friendly but forgot a few items on occasion. Food was good, drinks were cold. The location is spectacular with great views of the lake and really made it an enjoyable experience."

"This restaurant was amazing! The service was top-notch and the portion sizes were generous. I ordered the coconut soup (tom ka), which was incredibly tasty. I was pleasantly surprised by the large shrimp that accompanied my seafood Panang curry."

"We entered through the bar area, immediately greeted by friendly staff – all of whom were absolutely lovely. The bar itself is cozy, with a few tables and bar seating, and it had a nice dim ambiance that suggested it would be a great spot later in the day. The hostess seated us in a booth in the main dining area, and thankfully, there was no wait at that time. The décor was quite nostalgic, taking me back to the 90s with shades of my youth, including memories of wearing dickies and my initial belt buckle. A picture from "Mi Vida Loca" added to the wave of pleasant nostalgia. The music complemented the overall theme perfectly. Our server, Arleen, was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, making our experience even better. Both my fiancé and I are pescatarians, and we were pleased to see plenty of options on the menu, including various plant-based and vegan dishes. We started with complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was fresh and had the ideal amount of kick, while the chips were light and crispy, though they could have used a bit of salt. While there were no salt and pepper shakers on the table, we still enjoyed the chips immensely. For our meal, we ordered tuna empanadas with chimichurri dipping sauce and a chili relleno plate that came with rice and beans. The three empanadas were incredibly light and flaky, filled with moist, flavorful tuna that wasn't overpoweringly fishy. They paired beautifully with the chimichurri. We polished off every bite. The relleno was perfectly cooked, featuring a thin egg coating with a juicy, succulent poblano pepper stuffed with Oaxacan cheese, all topped with a delicious tomato sauce and Mexican crema. The beans and rice were well-cooked and seasoned too. Next, we tried three mix-and-match tacos: lobster, Baja fish, and blackened swordfish. Each one was fantastic, but the lobster taco, topped with crispy fried leeks, was my favorite. Although there was an enticing drink menu, we kept it simple and opted for horchata instead, which was delightful – not overly sweet and had a delightful homemade taste. A few days later, I’m still reminiscing about how incredible the food was. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely return soon. Don’t miss out on La Unica!"

"I ordered 2 chicken salads and was shocked at the small portion of chicken provided for the price. Each salad only contained 5 tiny and thin chicken strips. When I called to inquire about this, I received poor treatment from both the waitresses and manager. Very disappointing experience!"

"That was terrible. The tea began to ferment and was bitter and sour. The food was terrible. Look at the Mac and cheese, it was made by a microwave for pets! They make such a large amount at once and then only microwave it. I used the bodies. The ribs were dry and raw funky, why? Because they were made in mass and then microwave! So all the humidity was gone!! They turned every juice out of it! There was so much fat and oil in the brisket I was completely surprised if we are not getting sick here! As a plus, the corn bread was not really bad. No, there are 20 MINUTS to MICROWAVE ICH FOOD and SERVE ICH ROTTEN FERMENTED TEA DESERVEN IN BUSINESS! As a result, answer to the owner, thank you so kindly and initiativeally in your business. I changed my rating to a 2 star. I'm sorry, but I was frustrated that I paid $50 for what I thought for my wife as a nice meal and just had everything microwave. This was confirmed as I saw in the kitchen, a lady who took the Mac and cheese, (served me) from a 20 gallon plastic container that was taken from the refrigerator and was microwave and served a customer. The waiter didn't care, and the chefs weren't clear either. I said what is in this review for the waiter, and he brushes it off that he was not the one who prepares the food. No offer to talk to the cook, management, everyone. Hopefully you can fix the best wishes to you and your restaurant!"
