SO GOOD! Ok, I'm not a fluent Spanish speaker, so it was a bit of a challenge for me to order…read morebecause the (I'm assuming husband/wife that were there only spoke Spanish), also there wasn't really a menu with pricing, so that was unclear. I just asked for 'un plato de dos tacos de carnitas y frijole y arroz' and a aguas fresca. Total was a wopping $21.00. Pretty steep if you ask me, but some of the tastiest carnitas I've ever had, the beans were also outstanding! really reminded me of beans my wife makes! I'll be back for sure! Also, take note of how to get here, there's no parking on the street in front so go around back (little alley).

UNDERRATED!!!!!!…read more I've passed this place a million times! I'm so sorry it took me so long! I was in the area dropping my dog off at his dog bath spot. I also wanted to give OC shoe cleaner a try to get some shoes cleaned(they're about to get a 1 star for being so delayed.) Anywho, after I dropped off my shoes I saw Sal's and said I need to give this place a try finally! Walked in and there was one other patron in there. This place needs to be steadily busy! The owner was really nice and accommodating. For a first visit, I kept it simple. I ordered a surf and turf mulita, lengua taco and a chorizo taco. Filled a few cups of fresh salsa and sat my fluffy azz down and awaited my lunch. Business started picking up so I was happy to see. Got my food and started chowing down. Took my first bite of the surf n turf milita OMG instant mouthgasm! Mulitas are quit rich so you have to add salsa and I added my green El yucateca, made perfect bites. Loaded with protein! Something I'll be getting EVERYTIME! Took a bite of the chorizo taco, these aren't the super greasy type of chorizo tacos. I kinda like the fatty mouth feel, just a personal preference. The language taco was so soft. Fantastic texture. Honestly what a great first impression and knew I wanted to be back sooner than later. Following week I came back and this time had a meal with my sister and one of my men's. We went bonkers with the ordering. This time I ordered a bean and cheese mulita and I noticed they had crunchy tacos which I didn't see the first visit! I immediately ordered a carne asada crunchy taco with onions. My man's ordered a taco and a burrito, my sister ordered a bean and cheese burrito and a quesadillla combo. My sister doesn't do salsa like that so we had to get her salsa from Stater brothers gringo salsa. Food was ready and we had some hefty bags. Got home with the food stash and with all that, they forgot our tortilla chips!?!?!? Luckily my dude went back out and went to the store and got some chips. Like had we known that we would've gotten a bag while we got my sisters gringo salsa :( Anywho, got into the food and that crunchy taco was damn good and it didn't get soggy on the way home! Definitely a repeat. The star of the show was the bean and cheese mulita !!!! It was ooey gooey goodness! Honestly better than a bean and cheese burrito! I'm salivating just writing about it! No joke I think about that dish every other day. My sister loved her meal. My friend said his burrito had pinto beans instead of silky refried beans, next time specify Mister. My sister is a believer and she can't wait to have her own bean and cheese mulita because the other half I gave her, she loved! This place deserves to be booked and busy! Please support your small mom and pop local businesses!

We saw this place while driving through Santa Ana and hubby wanted to try it. We were there around…read more10am-ish and there were people in there drinking alcohol and beer already! We ordered breakfast (which is served all day long here) - lil guy got the huevos con jamon y tocino (eggs with ham and bacon), I got the huevos con chorizo (eggs with chorizo) and hubby got the chilaquiles (all were $6.95) but hubby added a slice of carne asada with it for 2 bucks more. You can also opt for chicken for the same price. We each got a drink - large freshly squeezed orange juice ($2.95), large horchata ($1.75), iced tea ($1.95). Just a word of caution. If you don't like your iced tea sweetened (uh, like me) then don't order it here. The tea is pre-sweetened and there's no returning it once you've had a sip. They also do not tell you it's pre-sweetened so unless you happen to ask, you won't know. The horchata was so-so...we've definitely had much better. This one needed more cinnamon. The OJ was really delicious though. Food arrived - I wasn't blown away at all. Lil guy's ham was pretty good. I had asked for his eggs over hard but they arrived less than over easy. It grossed lil guy out so I swapped my chorizo with eggs with his eggs. It was too runny even for me, but I ate 'em since I was pretty hungry. The eggs with chorizo was so-so, chorizo tasted funny. Hubby's chilaquiles was such a let down after my really tasty one at Taco Adobe last weekend. The chilaquiles was flavorless, not enough cheese and not enough salsa. At least the carne asada was tasty, otherwise the entire meal would've been lost. On the whole, the 2 things which stood out for me were the beans and rice. We've found that it's very hard to find a place which serves up good main courses as well as good beans and rice. It's either one of the other. Kind of sad really, but seems to be the case everywhere we go. Rancho D Mendoza also offers a lunch buffet from Mondays to Fridays for $6.95 between 11am and 3pm. Of course this is posted nowhere in English. Luckily the 8-week Spanish course I took taught me how to read the days of the week and whatever little I needed to decipher the information from the poster by the main entrance. It says that they have popular items such as chile verde, carne asada and others which seem to have escaped my memory right now. I guess if you're around the area on a week day and wanted to sample a whole bunch of stuff, this place might work for you.

I went to Rancho de Mendoza with my AP Spanish class after visiting the kids of Washington…read moreElementary School. Right when we entered, I noticed that the food was already out and ready for us to eat! Definitely a plus for me, because it meant food without much of a wait. Because my eyes were tenfolds hungrier than my stomach, I took a bunch of things on my plate(s): rice, beans, enchalda, tostada, taco, papas con cebollas, cactus, and fruit salad (with pineapples, papayas, and melons)... I also ordered some horchata to drink! Everything was very, very good! I was about to get the soup, but my friends warned me not to get it... but other than that, I was very impressed. Though the pinatas and papel picado created somewhat of a corny atmosphere, it made the experience even more fun and familial. If you're looking to eat yourself silly with authentic Spanish food, then definitely, definitely consider Rancho de Mendoza. The combination of a drink and the all-you-can-stuff-in-your-face buffet is only $12!!
