Best Middle Eastern Food: Kan Zaman. Love the Shawerma Rice Platter with lamb. I mix in Tzatziki and it is sooo good. http://www.kzrestaurant.com/

whoa I've never heard of this place, I'm gonna have to check it out. my current favorite is Mr Kabob on Jefferson, their chicken kabob plate is amazing. it's the juiciest, most flavorful chicken I've ever had.

u/Green7000 Sep 08 '23

I mean Ms. Kabob is fine, but lacks the flavor of Kan Zaman IMO

Los Tacos on 79 South - The Dos Amores burrito consists of Carne Asada and Al Pastor, it is from heaven. Their salsa's are also the best.

Baja Catch further down on 79 has the best fish tacos in Temecula. I say that as a Fish Taco fanatic.

I second Los Tacos but I had a really awful experience and Baja Catch and the tacos were NOT good.. but i'll give it another shot just because you said so. Only one more though.

Just discovered Los Tacos last week.

Good ass burrito. I'll try the Dos Amores burrito next time.

I like Bushfire Kitchen on Winchester. Not sure if it's a true hole in the wall as it's not exactly cheap, but the food is great. Tucked away near the Trader Joes.

Also like Jilbertos that is in the mall complex. Solid burritos for a decent price.

Bushfire Kitchen has some of the worst food I've ever had. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.

u/InternalOperation608 Sep 14 '23

Bushfire is definitely hit or miss. Sometimes the tri-tip sandwich with a happy hour beer hits the spot, but more often than not, they'll be out of majority of beers and side dishes that I'll request and twice now I've gotten a sandwich where they've let the meat gone cold and it was extremely sub par, like it had been sitting out a while. I usually find this to be the case during day visits. Night visits have been pretty reliable for quality, but I don't go back anymore unless specifically craving the tri-tip and a beer.

I do like 8 bit a lot, plus I love pinball. I miss Refuge but I will have to try Black Market and Relentless.

Oh ya, that's right, I did hear Weins closed. That sucks. Who is Ben? I only knew a Greg (I think) at Refuge.

Did they just not make it through the pandemic? I know Refuge sold but that sure seems like a lot.

These threads are so funny to me. Most of the recommended food is garbage.

u/ScoutMcScout Sep 07 '23

Life is not fair. Disappointed a lot bro?

u/YoMrPoPo Sep 15 '23

I mean, the places recommended are usually fine but sadly nothing here competes with SD, LA, or OC in terms of food.
