Google does not lie, people are searching diligently for Soro's Mediterranean Grill, and our mission is to uncover why. We are especially curious as to what has changed in the last few months to make it the top-ranked search.
When I asked Dylan Soro about why his restaurant was scoring so high in the rankings his response was hardly self-effacing " When you eat here, you will know why." Well this Canadian loves a good challenge, and you Mr. Soro, you have thrown down the gauntlet. I'll leave my Chef whites at home, but I'll be wearing my most serious food-eating attitude. We can make this article short, and just say I was spanked.
Everything started quietly enough, I met Dylan Soro, and had a conversation with him about the growth of his business from a McDonalds to a BBQ shack, to a Mediterranean Restaurant. They started with Styrofoam plates, went to plastic, and to glass and finally, now they are concentrating on using whatever plate the food looks best on.
The culinary emphasis is based around the Mediterranean, although there is a brilliant play of spices going on there that had this Chef scratching his head on almost every other course. There is some love and some genius going on in the kitchen.

Soro's is located in the old location of Lump'y BBQ, which itself has moved next to the new City Hall just down the road. While the location is the same, little of the former BBQ restaurant has remained, with Soro and Dylan exerting more influence every month transitioning this former fast-food meca to a fine dining establishment. In the ultimate showdown Soro challenged me to cook a 5 course dinner with him in the next month...I am certainly game, and it sounds like a lot of fun. Wine List Wine list was way beyond expectations, someone has spent a lot of time choosing here, and you will be pleasantly surprised.
When I go back, I know what I am going to order; "Soro cook for me", and then everything will be right in the world. Soro's Medterranean Grill is located at 28464 Old Town Front St. in Temecula. For information call (951) 587-8082.
