Things to do in Hemet
1. Emilio's Restaurant

Emilio’s has been my benchmark restaurant for some time now. I have been cycling thru the Yelp/Trip Advisor recommended restaurants in Hemet and have yet found one that I like better. Emilio's is family owned and have a loyal clientele which is understandable since everything I have tried there has been outstanding. Good chips, Salsa, great refried beans, rice and pretty much everything else.
I have actually met people that have been going there since they first opened in 1983.
Overall Emilio's is hands down my favorite and I am giving up on finding another Mexican restaurant that I like as much. From now on it will only be Emilio's for me.

If for some reason, you're in Hemet and looking for a good breakfast, Abby's Cafe is the place to be. I first have to ask you, what in the heck are you doing in Hemet? JK. This is one of the best breakfast meals we have had in a long time. The corn beef hash is amazing, chicken fried steak was great and the pancakes were superb! The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Hemet, which will probably very soon.

Anticipated a decent up of coffee and a sandwich. Received outstanding options and came repeatedly to try several. Highlight right off the bat was Hong Kong Lavender Green Tea Latte. I could drink them all day. Amazing. Paninis, Sandwiches, and Wafflewiches, all excellent. My favorites are Capri (mozzarella, pesto, tomato, and basil) & the Copenhagen (muenster, pork belly, & tomato), both paninis. The sandwich I love is the Santorini (hummus, spinach, avocado, onion, cucumber, sprouts, roasted red peppers and herb spread) and, of course this wonderful place also supports local musicians and artists. Oh, did I mention that the Wafflewich not to be missed is the Monte Carlo? There are vegetarian and gluten free options. Cupcakes - that's my next guilty pleasure.

This is our favorite place to eat in Hemet. Hubby and I order the filet medallions meal and split it. The steak is so tender and filling. It is a poplar restaurant for a reason....the food is really good!

This is one restaurant where the food and the presentation is outstanding. The portions are served hot and with a good amount of food. We love the pho and chow fun but the curry is yummy too and customizable to allow for your tolerance level. The service is spot on with frequent drink refills and a speedy check-out when you are ready to go. It gets busy right around the 6pm hour but worth the wait.

Was visiting at my brothers house and we decided to order pizza. Ordered the buffalo chicken pizza and a pepperoni pizza. We also ordered the wings. Everything was very good. Will definitely be going here again if I am in town at my brothers.

My son & I went for lunch. We ordered Beef Ravioli, Lasagna & 1 soda. The tab was $29!! Ridiculous for the quality. The sauce was way too thick and tasted like it came from a jar that had been opened a week before, not good. I wanted to like the food 'cause they have a Pac-Man video game that my son just loved but that didn't happen.

Great place to visit with friends. The Ultimate margarita was to die for and the food was extremely fresh and delicious. The karaoke night was highly entertaining and a fun atmosphere for everyone. They accommodated a group of 9 as a walk in right at dinner which was great

Came here after a look at our hotel free breakfast! Let me tell you.. I am so glad we did. The place has such a cozy feeling. The staff were so busy but so nice. The food was delicious especially the bacon. You can tell they cook it like it should be cooked and don't rush it out
10. Dattilo Ristorante

Reviewed By Doug C - San Diego, California
I had never eaten there before last night, nor had ever even heard of it. What a great surprise! I haven't had Italian food so good since dining in Little Italy, N.Y. City. The service was outstanding, too, a nice family restaurant. What an accomplishment on their part: fresh food, homemade pasta and baked goods, all in a quiet and non commercial setting. I recommend Dattilo's without reservations (no pun).
