I ordered a "large" burrito, and while it definitely lived up to the size, it completely missed on quality. The ingredients tasted bland and oddly inconsistent, like they were thrown together without much care. Worse, I ended up with a stomach ache shortly after eating, which made the whole experience even more disappointing. For a place that seems to offer everything, it doesn't seem to do anything right. Definitely won't be coming back.

Happy hour daily 2pm 2-6pm with combos of food & drink starting at $10. The food I had was good and plentiful. Free chips and salsa (slighty spicy and sweet) were good.

Sometimes you run across a place when traveling that makes you sad because you won't be able to be…read morea regular. This is that kind of place for so many reasons. First off, I came across Tacos el Gordito on yelp and immediately knew that's where we wanted to grab dinner from. We went to the dolphin avenue location that was listed and couldn't find it, so I called the number listed and got the voicemail. Quickly they called me back and sent me the address of where they were in the evening, at 1033 W Inyokern Rd, which was so kind and I appreciated that service! Immediately upon arrival, you are greeted by the picture of their beautiful family on the outside of the truck and we quickly learned the story of their "Gordito" and how they have run their business in honor of their late son. Before we had even tried a bit of their incredible food, we were already touched by the story and meaning behind their business! And then, we ate the food and oh my goodness was it delicious! We got the quesabirria combo (must try!!!) and then three tacos- pescada, carne asada, and barbacoa. We devoured it all and were in awe of how delicious it is. What an honor it was to meet this incredible couple, learn about the amazing way they honor their son, and enjoy their delicious food. Without a doubt, a must stop if you are staying or passing through!

If anyone is passing through ridge crest. Stop here first before continuing on your journey. You won't be disappointed

Disappointed. I ordered online to pay at the restaurant…read more 1) The bill was supposed to be $56.77. When I got there i paid with my card and they charged me $67.61, more than $10 different and it wasn't due tip. I know everywhere they charge you 3% more if you pay with card instead of cash, but it was 19% more. 2) I got a burrito and it was 2/3 the size of a burrito from chipotle for the same price and the food was as salty. 3) I got the combo meal but the fajita didn't come with the wrap nor did I get my drink. I won't come here again. If the food is good I won't mind the higher cost, but they need to be transparent about it. But the food was ok (don't like how salty it was) and the unethical regarding the lack of transparency with the charges is making me not wanting to come back.

The asada is perfectly cooked and not too fatty or grisly. The Diablo shrimp very spicy but worth it. Flour tortillas taste fresh and homemade. Fries were soggy and undercooked but won't hold that against them.

We travel and…read moreeat out of town a lot and I have to say this food truck is one of our favorites so we are glad it is here in Ridgecrest! They are very clear that their green sauce is not spicy but the red sauce is and allow customers to try both. They provide lemons, radishes, onions and cilantro all on the side so you can add them as you prefer. Awesome! Molina's is a hidden gem! If you haven't stopped by the truck- you are missing out!

The food is always delicious and large portions - the "lunch" size is available all day and always plenty of food for me! I got the large carnitas plate (meat was cooked perfectly!) and I took enough leftovers home for two more meals. They have a full bar and make delicious margs with a variety of flavors (unfortunately I have no pictures because I'm always too focused on drinking them) Service can be a bit slow for dinner on a weekend, but during the week when it's less busy it's always been quick! The ambiance is nice, basic with art for sale on the walls from local (student) artists which is a nice touch!

Stopping on my way to Anaheim and Ale's came up as one of the highest rated places. It was…read moredefinitely decent. Just gotta drop a star because our waitress was a bit short and irritable, and the food was really nothing crazy amazing. Ended up having the shrimp and lobster fries appetizer which was pretty yummy, the shrimp on it is the best part. Even the kids loved the fries and ended up also splitting a chicken sandwich that was pretty basic, but cooked well and had a tasty bun. Wife and I split a pastrami burger, and gotta say the pastrami was really good, that was a great choice. It had a bunch of creamy cheese sauce on it as well and was gone in seconds. Ambiance was fine, place was really clean, and service was SUPER QUICK. One critique is when we asked for extra plates to split out food, the waitress told us they were out of plates because they used them all on the party that was in there. This was at max a party of 10, and the restaurant had to only have 10 more people in it total. Kinda weird to be out of plates at 20% capacity... she did end up getting us additional "trays" to use. Totally fine, just a bit odd. All in all, if you need some quick grub, stop in here on your way through. Price was pretty fair, 2 burgers, and an appetizer with ice teas for $50. Decent.

Absolutely amazing staff!! Quick, attentive, friendly and efficient!!…read more The food? Chef's kiss. A must for anyone who loves seafood. But fear not, my land-loving carnivores -- their burgers are legit too. The drinks? On point. I'm convinced they put magic (and possibly happiness) in their margaritas -- best in town, hands down. The vibe? Laid-back, spacious, and beachy enough that you'll forget the nearest coastline is hundreds of miles away. Close your eyes and you might just hear seagulls... or maybe that's just me after round two of margaritas. In short -- great food, great drinks, great vibes. If you leave here unhappy, you probably ordered water.
