    Food is very good but atmosphere is not. Definitely do not go here on a date unless you want to avoid any conversation because it is very loud.

    Totally not what I expected. I expected a vibe and good drinks. Drinkers are eh. Food is eh. Service subpar. Music is probably louder at the mall.

    Always good food and never disappoints however the Waiter was not very attentive to say the least. Several times we had to ask for him for simple things that he should of been on top of. I would still return but hopefully the service will be better

    The food was terrible. What happened to this restaurant after Covid? The only good thing was the waitress was nice and attentive.  The fries were a greasy mess. The tacos were also greasy.  The chips were also greasy and the guacamole was brown.  We also ordered two Aguas frescas  and our bill was $85.  Do yourself a favor and do not go here. Go somewhere else because this is not the temple that we used to go to.

    Unfortunately, even though they knew it was my daughters birthday they did absolutely nothing and they wouldn't even bring the cake that we had brought to the restaurant. The service was horrendous everything was overpriced and they added 20% gratuity so they didn't care about keeping service. that's disgusting when they do that.

    Despite making reservations, we still had to wait around for a table. We were seated and then moved around to a table with a metal stand in the middle of it. It really obstructed out view. The menu is only available in QR code which really was a problem for my Senior Dad who struggled to see it on his phone. Despite ordering our food at 11:30am, we were told that items on the full menu (a burrito) was not available to us. Waitress was suppose to come back and she never did. Never checked on us. Never offered us refills. The men wanted more drinks and never got a chance to order. The restaurant was not even full. We ate - my son never got his food. When we asked for his order- they brought him an omelette? The Manager did a nice job of trying to smooth over the situation, but all these issues really did ruin the entire dining experience. It was a mess!

    Music can be loud at times, but the choice of music needs to be better. Mariachi music wasn’t what I was expecting throughout the night. Some hip-hop would be nice…and the music is just loud.the food is good, but the music is annoying. We won’t be going back.

    I beg all of you, do not waste your money going to Tempo in Anaheim Hills… Unless you’re going for drinks and fun. If you’re planning a family dinner, they will charge for chips and salsa, charge for WATER. The music is too loud, the tables are so tight you literally could touch your neighbor. They do not serve your dinner together, but one at a time until 15min has passed. Rude hosts.

    We had been to this restaurant before, but it was totally different from a few years ago. All 5 of us requested "ice water" and received water in a CAN, and we were not told there was a charge for each. My husband ordered a mango juice, thinking it was just juice in a glass- it came with sparklers, and a flashy souveneir cup and was $18 which was ridiculous and the waitress never told us what the cost was. The last issue was a "side" of beans that my husband ordered- it was a HUGE bowl of beans for at least 3 people and it was $5- why does one person need that giant bowl. The waitress should have mentioned that as well. All in all, the food was mediocre, but the prices and lack of waitress communication was terrible. Our bill for Mother's Day breakfast was $132, which was a ripoff for only 5 people for breakfast, not dinner. We will not be dining there again, and will not be recommending it as well.

    Food was great. Flavorful, displayed well, & offered choices that were interesting & varied. I’ve been there 3 times now and each time I was pleased. The only down side was I ordered a soda and it was served it in a small can with a cup of ice. Water was served in small flimsy plastic cups. The margaritas were huge. Good, but a bit too sweet for me, I prefer mine more limey tart. I will definitely go again.

    The food and drinks at Tempo Cantina were great, but the music was too loud to have a conversation with our dinner companions. Reservation was for 6:00 PM and that seems early for the loud music. Might as well go to a disco or rock concert. For a restaurant, a quieter ambiance would be preferred until a later hour.

    Unfortunately, it was not a great experience. The food was very good, but the service was terrible. 3 of us ordered cocktails and my husband just water. They brought the cocktails, but no water, so he asked again. They then brought his dinner (only his dinner) and still no water, so he asked a third time. It was awkward that he was the only one at the table with food. They then brought 2 more plates of food and dropped one of them on the floor next to our table. So now 2 of 4 people had food. A few minutes later, the third plate of food arrived. Knowing mine (that had crashed to the floor) was going to take a few minutes to remake, I asked for some chips to nibble on while everyone else was eating. They brought me a small bowl of chips, then later we found out when we got our check that we were charged $2 for them. Plus, the music was incredibly loud, which forced us to shout to each other at the table. I was embarrassed because I had chosen this restaurant to celebrate a special occasion and the overall experience was terrible.

    Been to many of Mr.Tempos restaurants, this is by far the worst one. I would rather much make the drive to Brea or San Diego or any other ones. Servers were not attentive although there were only 2-3 customers in the restaurant. Food was great same as other locations.

    We love going here for brunch, food and drinks are always so good. We did have to wait for our food because there was a group of 28! That came in minutes before we did. And the group sitting behind us were obviously drinking and loud and cussing excessively. I was hit about 2-3 times from one of the drunk guys there. Wish it would have been better but what can I do.

    A fun experience with friends due to the party ambiance and music. But otherwise… Not the best value - $17 for chips and salsa! Also if you are there for happy hour, make sure you tell them you are ordering from the HH menu. Otherwise you will pay $20 for 3 tacos vs $13! Not somewhere I will be going regularly.

    The Music was "Stupid Loud". If you need an instant headache, this is the place for you! We were seated and stayed for about 30 seconds & left. There is a great Italian restaurant on the opposite corner that we went to after we ran out of Tempo Cantina. We never even thought about ordering food at Tempo Cantina!
