This was my first time back since their relocation. The inside is very nice. The staff is warm and welcoming. They still have the same delicious bean dip they're famous for. I was disappointed by my shrimp burrito. It seemed to be one large burrito filled primarily with rice and beans with just a few shrimp throughout it. However, one of my guests thoroughly enjoyed their cheese enchilada. Overall, we had an enjoyable time. If they could improve on their burrito they'd be a full 5 star experience, in my opinion. read more

Don Ramon's located adjacent to Goldenwest College is your run of the mill, slightly elevated Mexican joint. Nothing special here, just good ol' classics and a nice offering of specials for their Mexican brunch. I came on a Sunday morning for brunch and was delighted to see so many options on their brunch menu, but their menu is quite expansive too so it has everything that anyone could want from a Mexican restaurant. The best thing about this place that stands out above the rest? I would say their complimentary chips and salsa... only because it also comes with warm homemade beans. The food was great, don't get me wrong, but those beans made me rethink my existence. I ordered the chilaquiles and they were just your average chilaquiles, nothing important. But I will say, their plating is impressive! Was pleasantly surprised when the food came around. Parking is plentiful and service ended up being kind and fast as well, the food had a little bit of a turn around after we ordered but I'd say it was worth the wait. Bottom line though? I wouldn't come here again for Mexican food unless it was for brunch. Its elevated Mexican food, but nothing a mom and pop Mexican place can't do better and cheaper. read more

With all the Mexican Food options in the area, I felt this one was a little basic. The restaurant was chill and the people were friendly and the service was on point. But unfortunately the food just didn't hit like I was hoping it would. I'd give it a second chance eventually but not in the near future. read more

My wife and I came for lunch today.The.We sat down at the bar. They brought us chips,salsa,and the delicious bean dip. We were not disappointed.It was very tasty and went well with the salted chips.The salsa was mild,not spicy at all. Ordered two Dos Equis draft Amber beers. Ice cold and frosty. It is a full body and a smooth finish and subtle hints of roasted malts. My wife ordered the luncheon special hardshell taco beans, and rice, Delicious. I had the à la cart three beef taquitos with guacamole, excellent. We love the new location. Very clean. We were very pleased and the food and service is always great. We still Love the unique bean dip. Our bartender/ server gave excellent service and was very friendly. read more

Don Ramon's is always good for a large group. The food is consistent. It's isn't the BEST Mexican food I've ever had, but it is good. Their chips, salsa and bean dip are always a huge hit with my family. The service is very attentive. I don't think we ever had an empty chips, salsa or bean dip container on our table and our waiter was very sweet. read more

My husband's friend and his son were visiting us so I asked him what they wanted for his first meal back in the States, he said, "Let's go for Mexican food." Now, Mexican cuisine isn't exactly my specialty, and the restaurants I've saved are mostly bar-type places that don't open until 5 p.m. We were in HB area so he checked on Yelp and chose Don Ramon's Mexican Restaurant. As soon as we walked in, we saw a sweet elderly lady chatting with customers. Before they left, one of them even blew her a kiss! The atmosphere felt so warm and welcoming. The restaurant's dining area is split into three sections, each with a different decor style. We were seated in the section behind the bar. If you have kids, they'll bring a sheet with a parrot for coloring and a pack of four crayons--but the coloring sheet is actually the kid's menu (we only realized that after we finished our meal ). For lunch, we ordered the following specials * #1 Super Deluxe Burrito * #2 Tacos De Carne Asada * #4 Marinated Chicken Tenders * A lemonade for kid The staff were all super friendly, checking in to make sure we enjoyed the food and asking if we needed anything else. The chicken was a little bit too dry, other than that, everything was great. The portions were massive! We couldn't finish, so we ended up packing everything to go. And of course, I had to check out the restrooms! They were spotless, with an orchid placed on the sink and three paintings hanging outside. The overall decor was vibrant and distinctive. Mexican food may not be my favorite, but the overall dining experience was great! 7148 Edinger Ave, Huntington Beach, CA 92647 read more

Great family friendly place and service was wonderful. The food was very good and the portions are huge.

There was not one thing we enjoyed about our meal. All four of us had different plates and were all disappointed, especially for the price...ugh! Honestly this is the worst Mexican food we've ever had. We will not be back. There are hundreds of better Mexican food places around. read more

Went to get a gift card. Cash only. I said I will pay with debit. I asked for the boss she was. On vacation. Worst customer service.

We absolutely love Don Ramons in Huntington Beach. We have been going there for years and the service is great and the food is always delicious. read more

Prices to high and quality of food is not the same as it used to be. And seriously 14.99 for a Margarita. Came home made my own for free... sorry to say good bye but you're not the same. read more

Came here on a Friday night place was pretty empty considering it was a Friday night.b I ordered a shredded beef taco plate with rice and beans and they ended up delivering that plus a cheese enchilada on my plate and then charge me for it. It was probably somebody else's dish and I got charged for it but I'm glad I ate it. They were they were both tasty and we also ordered tostada, which was equally good. read more

Beware, when you order the breakfast that comes with the champagne for $3.00, if you add juice for a mimosa they charge you $11.00 each instead. We specifically asked for the mimosa that comes with the breakfast and pointed to the menu. When we brought up the discrepancy, we were told that's too bad and that they "don't make the menu prices" and we were made to pay $22.00. A disappointing experience. read more

Love this place! Good, ole, gut fillin Mexican food! Clean interior and decor with great service. The salsa, bean dip, and chips are an appetite killer! They are so good that you have to fight from eating them and it's just chips! Good beans and rice are always nice but the food is just good ole fashioned Mexican food. A repeat, go-to, restaurant. read more

Food was amazing I actually tried the chile relleno burrito with bean and cheese, so delish! The atmosphere was great and very serene during lunch. Service was amazing as always , our server is always friendly and pleasant.

I was eating at the prior location back in the 90s. It was gone for years and now it is back open here. Send great food. The stand out is the free bean dip that they give you with the chips and salsa. A small but significant difference between it and all the other Mexican food places. We just eat the staples: tacos, enchiladas, chicken fajitas, and they all are executed well. We were in the main dining area, which is pretty loud. Very high ceilings and echoes. Service was good as always. read more

I love this place. From the moment you enter it is always a great experience. The waiting area is comfortable and the staff friendly. Even the bathrooms are really nice! The food is outstanding! I love their quesadillas, tacos, boiled beans, and soups. I also love the bean dip they serve with chips before the meal. When we bring my toddler, everyone makes her feel like a million bucks. Can't wait to go back again soon! read more

This used to be my favorite restaurant; however the last two times it has disappointed me so much that I will never return. The last time we went we noticed a considerable price increase from when we had gone before. I ordered the enchiladas suizas and the sauce was inedible. It was runny like soup, had no taste and I think they just poured chicken stock over the enchilada and put an excessive amount of cheese over it. When we pointed it out to the waiter he agreed that it wasn't right and didn't look good so took it off the check but I couldn't help but wonder if we didn't say anything, he would have just charged us $25! I asked for a margarita with no salt three times but got salt on half of my glass. My child ordered the chicken nuggets and they were overfried and burnt. It was just such a horrible experience I will never return. read more

A friend and I went here for lunch. I haven't been in a few months, but it's alway la been one of my favorite places for Mexican. Love their bean dip and the salsa is also very good!

I look forward to my next visit. read more

Been going to Don Ramon's since 2008 and it has been a favorite HB restaurant for my family. The salsa and bean dip is easily a tasty meal on its own, the staff is always lovely, not to mention the fun atmosphere on cinco de mayo with giveaways and a balloon artist making creations for the kids free of charge. The only issue I take is with part of our experience this Tuesday. It has been a while since we had been to DR, and expected a crowd for the holiday. We called ahead and still waited, not a problem. We were seated, order was taken after a while, but it took a very long time for our food to arrive. In the meantime, someone cranked the AC past the point of comfort and my family was straight up freezing. We tried to hold out for our food to arrive to warm us up, but it still took quite a while and ultimately we decided to just take it to go because the cold bested us. We live about 2 blocks away, but our food was cold by the time we made it home, and my shrimp tacos ($25) just weren't right. Cold, caked with quac and pico de gallo and rolled up like a burrito... I love me some quac and pico, but the tacos were just a soggy mess, squishy with no texture, and minimal flavor overall. I could see the cilantro, but there was no real spice or flavor to the squishy mess. Again, I am Latina, I love quac and pico and spices, but the meal was lacking in Mexican authenticity, and for what I paid for the meal I would have expected more substance. May be good for drinking and eating out with mixed company (simple pallets) but not what I was hoping for. If you're looking for good tacos for taco Tuesday, I think you can skip don ramons. read more

My family frequently dines at Don Ramon's to celebrate Birthdays, Anniversaries, etc. The service is excellent! The staff are friendly & efficient, and always have our reserved table waiting on arrival. The Food is Next-Level!! Consisting of Traditional Mexican dishes such as: Fajitas, Burritos, Enchiladas, Tacos, and more. They have a huge selection to choose from, and can customize any dish to your liking. The servers are always helpful when storing a brought in cake, and presenting it at the table after dinner is over, with plates, forks, & napkins. Completely Above & Beyond. The aesthetic of the restaurant is simple, coastal Mexican style. Nothing too fancy, yet Bright, Cheery & Clean. My family always looks forward to dining at Don Ramon's. read more

Our favorite Mexican spot. My daughter even chooses Don Ramones for her Birthday dinner. I recommend their shredded beef crunchy taco, shrimp Enchiladas, & shrimp salad. Oh and of course the skinny margarita. I cant leave out the chips, salsa, & bean dip. Can't get enough! We used to waking over to the sister restaurant, Cantamar. We were so sad when they closed, but still getting the great food we always have. I appreciate when food is consistent, and they definitely have been consistently tasty throughout the years. read more

Enjoyed the daily Lunch Specials Combination served with rice and beans even on weekend. Reasonable prices, fast service. Beans and bean dip were excellent. Ambiance was nicely remodeled from Sunny's restaurant, located across the street from Golden West College. Family friendly. Clean. Restaurant service was on point. Will return. One of the best Beef Tacos, hearty taco. Cons: The chips were not tasty which is the first thing one notices, not a good first impression. I love me a good chips and salsa. I can easily down a basket of chips myself if they are good. But these were not worth eating. Big improvement if you upgrade the chips please! One star less for disappointing chips and overcooked rice lacking flavor. read more

My first time coming here and I have to say I was missing out. First off they have amazing blended margaritas. The bartender Roman makes the drinks perfectly. We ordered some wet burritos and taquitos. Then got the churros for dessert. The food was delicious. The churros were really good and Ioved that the ice cream that came with it was frozen enough that it didn't melt right away like it does at most places. read more

We used to love this place when it was at the other location. Since the move we've been a few times this last time was not good. The flautas was white chicken meat but no flavor at all, I know this is HB and white ppl can't handle the spices but I mean, a little salt won't hurt ... I sent it back. Nice place now, food not so good we won't go back. read more

I wanted to give a big thank you and shout out to Alice and her crew in HB. My family just had my sweet mom's funeral reception at their private room. Not only is the newly remodeled restaurant lovely but the food was delicious as well. I was so very touched by the compassion and kindness shown by Alice and her staff. In addition, my father and I found it to be very fair pricing for the mini burritos, chimichangas etc. that we ordered. The servers were quick and kind. Thanks to Alice. read more

My family and I used to eat at Don Ramon's previous location off of goldenwest and warner often, and we loved it! I was excited to see that they reopened in a new location. My wife and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary with a dinner at Don Ramon's on a Saturday night. The ambiance and decor is pleasant and the service was attentive and prompt. One of my favorite aspects of eating at Don Ramon's is the bean dip that they serve with their chips and salsa, it is a fantastic compliment to the salsa that they serve. My wife and I both ordered their two taco combo plate, which comes with 2 tacos, beans and rice. The food arrived quickly and was fresh and delicious. The reason for the 4/5 stars is because the portions have become smaller and prices have increased (not unlike most restaurants these days), which makes the value proposition of Don Ramon's questionable since there are plenty of solid cheaper alternatives in HB. read more

Excellent ambiance. Isaac was attentive to our needs. Food was delicious. Looking forward to returning to try more tasty menu items.

Stopped by for dinner last night and it was my first time experiencing the new location! All of the staff was extremely friendly and they greeted us with smiles while walking past them to our table. Our server was great and attentive. It was around 7pm on a Thursday so it wasn't crowded and it was quiet. The shredded beef tacos, the salsa and bean dip. It was all just as good as I remembered! We ordered some salsa to go, because it's just that good! We like to put it on everything! Excellent first time experience at this location. Will be back soon! read more

A nice Mexican food dinner at Don Ramon's. We were hungry and thirsty and chose this convenient location. We have been here before and know that the food will be yummy and the margarita will quench our thirst. A nice booth where we can see the action of staff and we are ready to order. Friendly advice from our waiter and my Pork Chili Verde with rice and refried beans with warm flour tortillas came quickly to the table. The tenderness of the pork chunks was a delight. The lovely missus has her albondigas soup and chose the special wings and chips platter. The blended margarita we shared was a good one. During our dining experience, we listened to music and were entertained by so many patrons coming and going. Don Ramone's certainly has a loyal following. We will be back. read more

I used to come to Don Ramons all the time - for the lunch special - 2 beef (crispy) tacos. Their tacos (used to be) perfect. Great rice and perfect chips and salsa. It WAS a 5-star restaurant. Recently (after relocating from Warner and Golden West to Edinger Golden West) - I more than understand (accept) the prices went up to remain competitive. THAT is more than understandable / acceptable. But very disappointingly, while raising the prices by i.e. 60+%, the portions became significantly lesser (to the point, the 2 taco combo, I walked out hungry still). Also the quality of the tacos got worse (burned shells), less cheese, etc Most heartbreaking, there are waiters that I appreciate greatly - but very sadly, it's just not worth going anymore - very very sorry to those who work there that I bonded with I share this review not in criticism or anger - only (in good faith) - sorrowful humble regret Thanks again! read more

If this is what Don Ramon's calls Grilled Cheicken Nachos, it's a pathetic excuse for a Mexican dish. On the top layer, it's beautiful and delicious . Then you finish the top and you are left with an entire bowl of soggy chips. Literally a full bowl of chips. When I make nachos, it's simply common sense that the entire bowl is full of cheese and chicken. Do better next time. Disappointed read more

Me and my wife have been waiting for this place to open up, and we finally got to try it! They opened recently at the end of January, and whenever we pass by, the place always looks packed! We came in on a Saturday night around 6 pm, and there were a few people waiting for a table. The lady took my name down for 2 ppl and said it would be about a 30-minute wait. They didn't take down my number or anything, so we waited inside until they called us. The place looks really nice and everything looked very new. It was a little loud, but the place was packed. We sat down, and they brought us chips, salsa, and a bean dip. I've never had a bean dip before, but it did not disappoint. It was very tasty and went well with the salted chips. The salsa was mild, not spicy at all. It was my wife's favorite. Our server came over right away and asked for our order, I got the deluxe Burrito, and my wife got a 2 taco place. The Burrito was huge! I was filled with rice and pinto beans, and I added Carne Asada for $2 more with a red sauce on top and guacamole on the side. The burrito was tasty, but the guacamole was a little brown. I also asked for a side of sour cream because the Burrito was a little salty. It may have been the red sauce.. my wife loved the shredded beef tacos, crispy on the outside with lettuce, cheese, and shredded beef. We also ordered a spicy mango margarita, and that was BOMB. We got it blended. It wasn't spicy at all. If you're looking for something sweet, that is the drink to get. We ended the night with a mud pie, coffee ice cream, with nuts, fudge, and whipped cream on an oreo like crust. It was delicious. Overall, it was a great experience. Our server was very attentive, the food was very tasty, and I enjoyed the ambiance. I'll definitely come back and try something else. Everything looked great! read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is not the place. If you're looking for Americanized Mexican food, this is still NOT your place. I cannot express how disappointed I was with the quality of food at Don Ramon's. I ordered a 3-item combo: * Two red enchiladas: The red sauce was watery, bland, and had no flavor. * One green enchilada: The chicken inside had a rubbery texture and zero flavor. The sauce was equally terrible. * The rice was cold, watery, and tasted like it had been microwaved. * The serving of beans was tiny, with a pile of cheese slapped on top to try and cover it up. The only redeeming thing about this place was the bean dip they served with the chips before the meal--it was delicious. We also ordered a side of albondigas soup, which was awful. It came with two sad meatballs, two carrots, and what was basically hot, flavorless water. After we complained, they apologized and brought us tortilla soup as an alternative, but somehow, it was even worse. We couldn't finish our food, and they still got us for $40. I will never return. The original Don Ramon's location was much better years ago, but this spot is a complete disappointment. You're better off going to Morena's down the street or Mario's. read more

I always love coming here. They have some of the best food. Service was great, never had a bad meal here. I guess there is a rumor they are closing? Not true, there is even a note at the counter to prove it. read more

I've been going to Don Ramon's for 30 years. Whenever i was in Huntington Beach i would grab lunch there. I just now tried the new location and it's really beautiful inside. I ordered takeout and the woman who helped me was very nice. My food was delicious. I had a cheese enchilada and a shredded beef taquito with rice and beans. I also had chips and bean dip and salsa. The bean dip and salsa is top tier, just so delicious. Their salsa is one of my favorite salsas ever, it's just so perfect. And i love that it's not chunky salsa, it's blended nice and smooth. The enchiladas are delicious, love the red sauce. The taquito was okay, not my favorite but it was fine. Their chips are really good too. I also love how they pack up their to-go orders. Beautiful restaurant with great food! And the owners are really lovely. Definitely recommend! read more
