    Clean parking lot
    AmberAyame T.

    We stopped a few miles away to charge and saw that this place had really good reviews. We were starving so we got a chili relleno dinner, a cheese enchilada dinner and 2 orders of vegetarian nachos. They gave complimentary waters w lids and they were big which we really appreciated. The young guy working the counter was very helpful and friendly. The parking was easy and they're open later than a lot of other places. The food was all delicious! We would def stop here again the next time we have to pass through Modesto.

    The food was delicious definitely recommend  very pleased

    The food was amazing very delicious. We ordered green chicken enchiladas, tacos de asada and asada nachos. Everything was delicious.

    We stopped here based on the Yelp reviews and I must say it was better than what we expected. Service was exceptional and food was delicious and authentic. We actually think the food is way better that other Mexican restaurant in the area. Definitely a little hidden gem in Modesto. We'll be returning soon.

    This restaurant is an amazing example of a family business doing it right! Every visit we have had, we have enjoyed everything we ordered. The staff is pleasant (owners kids helping mom and dad!). I think it's quickly becoming our favorite place to go in Modesto!

    Since I began eating here nearly 6 months ago I haven't really eaten at other Mexican restaurants! Rana's has become van one of my faves. Today I had their pozole! It's quite impressive to me that they cut up the pork in bite size pieces. The flavor was totally on point! They provide you an array of garnishes. I have tried lots of their dishes and I've never been disappointed! It's a family owned restaurant not a chain, one where the family is always respectable and kind to the customers! I hope if you go you enjoy it as much as I do and I drive a few miles to come when I do.

    Sunday breakfast. Very tasty, and not too spicy. They also give you freshly fried tortillas chips to eat with any salsa from their salsa bar. Pozole was full of meat. Theses are both large bowls. Will definitely be back and try something new too. Family style restaurant, nothing fancy but good. Oder at the counter then sit down.

    Food was delicious and affordable. The staff offers fast, friendly & efficient service. The place is clean. Restroom is clean and well-stocked. Will be coming back here again

    The enchiladas and crunchy tacos are amazing, and I really admire that it's a genuine family-run business. Friendly and welcoming service. The corn chips are the thick, quality kind--not the cheap ones, which shows they care about the details. I highly recommend this place!!

    Shrimp cocktail with all the fixings very fresh and delicious..

    I come here pretty often, and it's always a solid choice for Mexican food in town. The food is…read moreconsistently good, the drinks are solid, and they easily have the best chips and salsa around. Service is always friendly and reliable, which keeps me coming back. My only real recommendation is to avoid sitting in the bar area if you're in a hurry. Service there tends to move a lot slower, so it can take a while to get your order in and get your food. The restaurant itself is a little run down, and the bathrooms could definitely use some attention, but the bar and outside area is decorated nicely and has a good atmosphere overall. All in all, it's a great local spot and one I keep going back to.

    Unfortunately, this was a really disheartening experience…read more We waited over an hour for our food, and when it finally came out there was an issue with the size of the menudo bowl that had been offered to us. Instead of trying to resolve the situation or make it right, the manager, Noah, became argumentative and tried to debate what had been said rather than listen to the customer. After waiting that long, the last thing anyone expects is to feel like they have to argue just to be heard. What made it more disappointing was the lack of willingness to fix the issue or offer a solution. We came in hoping for a good meal and left feeling frustrated and unheard. It's sad because good service could have easily turned this into a positive experience. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. At the end of it he realized and came back and finally apologized.

However, I should've asked for grilled chicken, instead of shredded chicken. * Wedding platter- asada with corn tortillas (5/5) The "signature medium spicy cream sauce" was delicious! The service was great. We were greeted with a smile. We arrived right when they opened, so we received our food promptly. While waiting for our food, we received chips and salsa. The ambiance was kinda quiet, being the only ones in the restaurant, but they had upbeat Mexican music playing. *The cook did get our order wrong, they gave my husband chicken, instead of asada.

    Great traditional Mexican food. This place never disappoints. I started with the whiskey smash,…read morewhich was a refreshing variation of almost a margarita. The complimentary chips along with their salsa and beans paired amazingly well. I proceeded to get the choose three build your own combo with a beef taquito(pictured), green chicken enchilada, and a chicken burrito. The beef taquito was first of all huge, the biggest one that I have ever seen. It came with plenty of toppings including guacamole, sour cream, cheese, cabbage, and tomatoes. The burrito was decent, definetely could have used at least some more salsa, ended up being a filler on my plate. I saved the best for last, the classic enchilada was smothered in a delicious salsa that I dipped my other two items into. If you want to try out different things and get a good amount of food for your money, you can't go wrong with the build your own combo, especially from this establishment. Apart from the food, the service exceeded my expectations and it is perfect for your next casual dining experience.

I asked for grilled chicken and got stewed chicken with absolutely zero flavor. They said it came with guacamole and sour cream--neither were anywhere to be found. The "salad" was basically lettuce, pico, and whole beans with a super tiny portion overall. I added bell peppers and onions, maybe five pieces total, and they hit me with a $6 upcharge. Would've been nice to know that before so I could've said no thanks. Final price for this subpar salad? $25. I actually had to go back just to show them. The bar manager, Hamad (spelling), tried to help by adding more chicken and then told me the sour cream and guac were "under the shell." Really? Who hides condiments under the shell? Total waste of time and money. I'm done. No more chances.
