Delgado's Restaurant on East Main Street in San Jacinto is a straightforward, full-service spot where Mexican classics are served with a home-style touch. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, fitting easily into the fabric of this small city’s everyday dining scene. It’s the kind of place where regulars are greeted by name and newcomers quickly become familiar with the friendly staff behind the counter.

The menu leans heavily into traditional dishes like carne asada, milanese, and carnitas, all priced reasonably around the $15-$18 mark. Expect solid portions that come with comforting sides such as rice and beans, or a choice of soup or salad with combo plates—something that locals appreciate for both lunch and dinner. Standouts include the shredded beef tacos and chicken enchiladas, which many people order to go, highlighting how the food works well both for sit-down meals and takeout. The fajitas—whether chicken, beef, or shrimp—also draw attention for those looking to share or indulge in something a bit heartier.

Inside, the vibe is relaxed and unpretentious, with a noticeable rhythm that suits families, workers on a lunch break, and anyone craving a reliably good Mexican meal without fuss. The staff’s attentiveness extends beyond just serving food; long-time customers often note how well the team remembers orders and prefers their meals—an indication of deep community ties. Delgado’s feels like a mainstay in San Jacinto, where locals come not only for the flavors but also the familiar service that makes each visit a comfortable experience.

Visitors inclined to try this restaurant will find it well worth stopping by during typical meal hours. The steady flow means the kitchen keeps things moving efficiently, but not hurriedly, and food arrives hot and fresh. Whether you’re after a quick taco fix, a sizeable combo plate, or simply a friendly local spot to enjoy authentic Mexican cooking, Delgado’s provides a dependable option anchored in straightforward, heartfelt preparation.

Started coming to this place a little over two years ago, and we fell in love. It has become my favorite Mexican restaurant. I come all the way from Long Beach to eat here. They cook everything with love. The food comes out nice and hot. All their ingredients are fresh. All the employees are super friendly. My to go is the shredded beef taco, chicken enchilada with rice & beans. I'm not a big bean guy, but their beans are amazing. I highly recommend it!!

Wow. I honestly can't put into words how good the food here is. My wife grew up here in Riverside county and always talked about how good Mexican food is down here. We've had Mexican food from all parts of the country and we've had some that are amazingly good and others that well mehhh. Delgado's has taken the top spot for my wife and I. The food is beyond amazing, their service is fantastic, and everything is just overall superb. We'll definitely be back before we have to drive back to North Carolina. I got the shredded beef burrito and my honey got shredded beef enchilada and beef tamale . The tamale was so good my honey had to get seconds.

Authentic and delicious food. The service was fast and everyone that worked there was friendly and attentive. The combos are such a deal for the price because the plates are large and you also get a choice of soup or salad to start. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

We LOVE Hector and his families food. My family has gone for atleast.. gosh? 20 years? Idk he knew my grandma and grandpa when they were alive and we don't walk in the door without him knowing drink orders already and all the little things everyone ask for he does without being asked.. I watch him do that for every family that comes in the door. I went to change my order once because I hadn't been in a few months and he asked to remind me what my normal was.. idk he was right I was about to order the wrong thing. Lol. The food is never bad. Always fresh. Yesterday when he checked on us the only thing I could say is "thankfully, somethings dont change" because it's never bad or wrong. Highly recommend everyone gives it a try if they want a good home cooked tasting meal. The only way to describe it is It taste like his grandma made it with love.

I googled "who has the best breakfast burritos near me" Delgado's was the 1st place that popped up. So me and my husband went there. Never been there before. We walked in ans a gentleman was standing at a table fixing the sugar caddys and looked up and smiles at us and said "HI, Good morning. Have a seat wherever you like". We told him we were order to go. The lady was by the registrar and said "Hi. I can help you". We asked a couple of questions and she was very polite and respectful as she answered. We ordered 5 burritos . 3 bacon 1 sausage breakfast burritos with eggs cheese potatoes and beans and 1 chili Verde burrito. As we sat down and waited for them to cook. The gentleman came over to us and introduced himself to us. Hector. Very nice man. Gave us a soda to drink and talked to us. Once the food was done we paid n still was talking to Hector and Stephanie ( I believe that what she said her name was). As we walked out I told my husband that I liked that place. They made me feel welcome and valued. When we got home oh my gosh those burritos were huge. They were so so so good. As well as the salsa!!!! Big hit at are house. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!

This is my go-to spot since I moved to San Jacinto/Hemet for the last 10 years. Everything is freshly made. I love the tacos, shrimp cocktail, and the albondigas. Oh and the chips and salsa are the best!
