This is a great Mexican grocery and meat market. The store is literally packed with everything you…read morewould want if you're craving good Mexican food. The front and middle of the store boasts all of the grocery items, including piñatas hanging from the ceiling for purchase. The rear of the store is their fresh meat market and behind the register are hot plate items you can order and take to go. The staff are always very nice and helpful. My experience here is specific to ordering hot food items. I highly recommend their chicken, which has to be some of the best tasting I have had from a business. The business is reasonably priced. I can order 32 ounces of chicken, 16 ounces of rice and beans for about $38. All of that is plenty to feed four people. If you are craving good Mexican food that is reasonably priced, you can't go wrong visiting La Mexicana dr Ripon.

WOW FACTOR? Yes. Nice Mexican grocery, meat market and take-out restaurant. Excellent and friendly…read moreservice. HAVE AGAIN: The al pastor taco was really good. Guacamole was a bit spicy but actually just right (odd it had two avocado pits inside the guac. Super burrito with carnitas was also good (definitely needed the guac). NOT HAVE AGAIN: The potato taco was good, but I'd try something else next time.

Their menu is fairly extensive and includes all the typical dishes you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant. I did find the prices to be a bit higher compared to similar spots, but I don't mind paying more when the quality and flavor justify it. They also offer Taco Tuesdays from 3-9 PM, Thursdays from 4-9 PM, and happy hour Monday through Thursday from 4-8 PM. We ordered the carnitas street tacos and chicken rolled taquitos. Shortly after being seated, our server brought out complimentary chips and salsa. The chips tasted fresh, and the salsa had great flavor. The tacos were enjoyable overall, but unfortunately the taquitos fell short. They had a good crunch, but were pretty bland on their own and needed salsa to add flavor. This probably wouldn't become one of my regular spots, but I'd come back occasionally to try other menu items.

Neat and clean, but .....

We…read morewandered in here, and there were a few people sitting down to eat, but it was overall pretty quiet. The littles were asleep in the truck already, so we just ordered 3x carne asada super burritos and a kids quesadilla to go. Service was fast, friendly, and on par with our expectations. The carne asada was way more flavorful and moist than expected, and the burritos were delicious. The kids quesadilla, was just that- plain tortilla and cheese. Two (8 inch?) tortillas and a little bit of cheese melted in the middle. It wasn't much cheese and was surprisingly expensive for what it was, in my opinion. I definitely think this place has some yummy food and the service was good. Overall, I'd recommend Taqueria Ripon if you're in the area.

The inside is very classy chic with a Mexican twist . I went during the week so it was happy hour . Their happy hour is pretty sweet ! It's from Monday - Friday 4-6 pm, Dine-In Only . They offered $10 drinks and also $10 appetizers. I ended up getting their tacos de papa from their happy hour, which is two tacos, but they are very fulfilling. They're very delicious and I did not see them in the regular menu so if you go during happy hour, it's definitely a must try. I also ordered Jesse's favorite, which is a Chile that looks like a chille relleno, but it's not instead of the egg it has a cream sauce on top and inside it has ground beef . My dad ordered the fajitas which they came with a side of cilantro rice and beans and also all the fixings like guacamole and stuff. Let me tell you the fajitas meal was huge. You could definitely share it with somebody else. I have to say their portions are very generous. For drinks they have beers margaritas my mother had a Chavela, which is beer with lime. I'm not a big tequila fan, but they do have a full bar so I just changed the dirty linen drink for Gin instead of tequila and it was very delicious . The service everyone was really nice and attentive. Overall, we had a great dinner my family and I we had a lot of food and a lot of good laughs. I would definitely come back. I have to say I love their tacos de Papa and for them being on happy hour it's a win-win.

Our food was on the table within five minutes or our order being placed and we dined on a Friday evening when all tables and the bar was full. I got wet chicken burrito half red and half green sauce with sour cream on the side. The green sauce was significantly better in my opinion. Green sauce was an easy four stars red was a two stars for me. Green has more spice to it! My date got the La Compuesta salad, he loved his. He ate the whole thing which I could not have done. I took half my burrito home. The beans they serve with chips are delicious as you see in others reviews too. The salsa however left a lot to be desired.

And what I've learned in my years is that you should never expect good quality, authentic ethnic food if the main demographic in the restaurant are white people. That's not saying anything bad about white people, but most of us don't know any better! We think Taco Bell is Mexican food and panda express is Chinese food... I had high hopes because the bean dip and chips were really good, but we were terribly disappointed with the nachos... It's definitely not what we were expecting. The portion sizes are ridiculous... But that's kind of what I have come to expect in Americanized Mexican restaurants. Definitely will not be returning... We wish the food was better, because the service was pretty decent.

They offer keto tacos, so I ordered one asada and one chicken taco. They normally come with sauce, but I asked for them plain and misunderstood what that meant plain meant no cilantro or onions as well. Totally my fault, not theirs. The avocado salsa was really good and added great flavor to the tacos. My wife ordered the chicken burrito and said it was very good too. Overall, everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Looks like we found a new favorite taqueria and we'll definitely be ordering again.

Really perfect blend of Jalapeno heat, rich melted cheese, a tosted tortilla shell and drizzled with cool avocado sauce. The place is really clean. That is a good sign. My carne asada burrito: I'm going to give it a B. They could grill the meat with a little more char. Some of the meat looked like they cooked it at too low a temperature so it was more boiled than grilled. The way the burrito was built, all the ingredients were mixed and mashed together. There was no seperation of flavors. However, the flavors were good and the ingredients are fresh and high quality for sure. Service is an A. (Good job) Are you with me on this one: it is almost impossible to get good service anywhere. Well, at Tequileros Taqueria, they are upbeat and attentive. So, overall, needs improvement but they are on the right track. I'll check in when I'm back in town...
