Menu

A complete overview of all 12 meals and beverages can be found here on the menu of Kentina from Temecula.

Set against scenic grounds, this laid-back eatery pairs affordable, flavorful small plates—pork-belly tacos, wings, quesadillas and lamb sliders—with a well-stocked bar and regular local live music. Outdoor-friendly with picnic spots, grills, carriage rides and casual seating, it’s ideal for families, dates and relaxed gatherings. Friendly staff, clean restrooms and lawn games add charm; note the limited menu, occasional overbearing rock bands and dim landscape lighting that can detract from evening strolls.

This restaurant is incredible. I am from Santa Barbara originally and I absolutely love the atmosphere here: live music, delicious and affordable food, drinks, and a casual yet creative vibe that feels both comforting and exciting.

What Todd Shaffer dislikes about Kentina:
Great location wrong execution. They need better landscape lighting for evening night walks around the surrounding grounds. The place is beautiful why ruin the feel with a horrible rock band. The music doesn't fit the atmosphere. Maybe a guy with an acoustic or a Chapman stick but not a bad version of a cover band. View all feedback.

A hidden gem that won't be for long. This place holds great atmosphere and lends itself to chill evenings listening to some fantastic local live musicians. Not a full menu but the Asian pork belly tacos, wings, quesadillas, and lamb sliders were all amazing. A full drink menu with a nicely-stocked bar and a fairly extensive wine selection. A friendly staff, captivating views, clean restrooms, carriage rides, bean-bag game...we'll definitely be back.

AMAZING. I'm originally from Santa Barbara and just crave his kind of atmosphere: live music, good inexpensive food, wine and beer, casual but fancy and that feeling of comfort but adventure all at the same time. Perfect for family and kids, even for a date. Everything's perfect. Bring blankets and chairs and camp out with the whole family, they have barbecue and bar setups aside from the restaurant. If not they have tabled and benches everywhere. I can see a wedding being here it's so beautiful

Absolutely incredible location and backdrop for just about any occasion. Sat at a table looking at the mountains in the distance and folks going on free carriage rides. KenTina is located inside Galway Downs. Staff was friendly and they do have a small, lighter fare menu that pleases the palate for sure. Our group had lamb sliders, wings, asian pork belly tacos and quesadillas. All was very good. Bar was well stocked and they host a First Friday each month with live music. Great atmospher

It's perfect for families, children, and even for a romantic date. Everything is spot on. You can even bring your own blankets and chairs and have a picnic with the whole family, as they have grills and bar setups next to the restaurant. If they didn't have tables and benches already set up everywhere, I could see people having a great time here. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone I know.
