Soro’s Mediterranean Grill opens NEW outdoor patio just in time for summer

Soro’s Mediterranean Grill. 28464 Old Town Front Street, Temecula, CA 92590. 951-587-8082

Soro’s Mediterranean Grill, located in the heart of Old Town Temecula is proud to announce the opening of their newly enhanced covered patio. Complete with deep shade for warm summer days and white twinkle lights and candles for evenings to create the perfect ambiance for lunch or dinner.  The patio cover, in a beautiful shade of rustic red was the brainchild of Dylan Soro, co-owner of Soro’s Grill with his business partner and mentor, Papa Soro. The patio is surrounded by a lush array of potted and hanging plants and an old world fountain bubbling in the background. The patio heaters for chilly evenings, linen covered tables and wrought iron chairs play into the comfortable atmosphere of the patio.  The welcoming new patio is the perfect location to enjoy lunch or dinner, people watching, getting together with friends or on intimate date for two. “We like guests to feel like you are a guest in our home,” explains Dylan “always a warm smile, hearty hand shake and hugs when you arrive.”

The new summer menu items will suit the new patio perfectly. They were selected to incorporate the fresh flavors that Soro’s has already become famous for, and to be consistent with the traditions of the Mediterranean spirit of Greece, France, Italy, Turkey, Spain, Syria and Egypt. “There are so many great herbs, produce, meats and recipes to choose from!” exclaimed Papa Soro. “Many of our recipes are tried and true from a restaurant I owned back in Detroit 20 years ago.”  The secrets are hidden in his mind, and taught to son Dylan (since he was 9 years old working with Papa in the kitchen) and available for you to enjoy.

Soon to be a favorite is the tableside Flambéed Saganaki. Flames abound as the aged cheese is pan seared to perfection, a hearty shout of “opa” is yelled and the flames are extinguished with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. This yummy Greek dish is accompanied with fresh pita bread.  Other new dishes will include a magnificent Shrimp Fusion Salad, Greek Gyro plate, Chicken Scampi (with a Soro’s twist of course), Chicken Picatta, and a baked Lamb Shank.  Open daily. Located at 28464 Old Town Front Street, Temecula. Call for reservations 951-587-8082.

The Temecula Insider Restaurant Review: Soro's Mediterranean Grill

You might remember the building as the former location of Sweet Lumpy’s BBQ however when you step into Soro’s you immediately forget the peanut shell floor and welcome the Mediterranean garden vibe that Papa & Mrs. Soro along with their son Dylan have created. Whether it is your first time at Soro’s or you’re a regular, the wait staff, hostess and ESPECIALLY Papa Soro will greet you like you are family and ensure your visit is as memorable as the food is delicious.

When we sat down at our table Papa Soro immediately joined us, brought out an amazing bottle of wine to accompany our meal and asked if there was anything in particular we wanted to order. We told him that we would eat anything he prepared for us and he disappeared, bringing back a huge selection of his favorite items on the menu. We started off with the Fattoush salad made with toasted pieces of pita bread combined with mixed greens and other vegetables tossed in the perfect amount of dressing. Then tried three flavors of homemade Hummus- traditional, red bell pepper, jalapeno cilantro, all served with straight-from-the-oven pita bread.

This was by far the BEST hummus I have ever had and when I told Papa Soro this he proceeded to plant a big one on me. Accordingly to our waiter, we are now part of the family. We tasted pickled turnips and cabbage as well as Falafel served in a pita, topped with hot and tahini-based sauces. From there we enjoyed Shrimp Curry and a favorite at Soro’s, the Filet with mushroom burgundy sauce, which melts in your mouth! We finished it off with Stuffed Grape Leaves and Basmati rice. At several times during the meal our waiter asked if we were finished or wanted a box for what we hadn’t eaten but by the end, we had pretty much polished off the platter!

Temecula Insider’s Tip: The outside seating has a great view of Old Town Temecula and its patrons. You must try Papa Soro’s fresh made pita chips and hummus and take a box of pita chips home for your next meal or party. Be sure to compliment the portrait on the box, it is Papa Soro’s mom and her recipe.

Soro’s is located at 28464 Old Town Front Street on the corner of Front St. and 6th Street, across from Starbucks and next door to Temecula Wine & Beer Garden. Contact Papa Soro at (951) 587-8082.
