    The Carne Asada is amazing. I probably come here twice a month for it. My wife likes to mix it up a little bit more. She really likes the salads and last night. She had the mahi-mahi. We enjoy sitting on the patio, especially on weekends when the weather is nice.

    Always wonderful. The staff are extremely friendly and provide excellent service. The manager, Jesus is also wonderful, knowledge and, keeps up with his customers' needs and concerns. Almansor court is just the best place for a nice Sunday Brunch. I drive here from Moreno Valley in Riverside County. It's worth the drive to enjoy a Sunday with friends and family at Almansor Court.

    Hidden gem for Mexican food. Walking in I thought this place was a typical bar; tv screens and loud music. It was a bar, plus more! When the Micheladas arrived in large cups I knew we were in for something special. Our appetizers arrived- empanadas and tacos enchilados, they weren’t skimping on the meat. Next the molcajete filled with ceviche and the camarones pacifico, I’ve never seen shrimp that large. If your a seafood lover you’ve got to try this place. The service was good and the food packed a punch of favor. We will be coming back!!!
