Stopped here after moving my son into his dorm at CSULA. Food was really good, hot and fresh. Prices weren't bad. We noticed they have great specials that will come in handy while my son is at school there. The restaurant is spacious. Comfortable. The service was nice. The lady that served us was very attentive. We'll definitely be back when visiting him. read more

Delicious food, friendly and thoughtful server era and great atmosphere! I have been to many Greek or middle eastern restaurants all over r the world and this restaurant wa stop! I enjoyed my meal very much and would recommend it ! read more

Haven't been back in 5 years since moving away. Was back in the area and stopped in. Ordered my usual cheese enchiladas. Nice to find that the presentation and flavors are still as delicious as they were before. They serve their chips with bottles of homemade salsa which is a great idea. You can apply I individually to each chip as you eat it, or douse all the chips at one! Definitely try the green salsa--it tastes like avocado and salsa! Also had the agua de melon and it was perfectly sweetened. I have to get back more often. read more

Came here once so far. We were happy with the meal and service. Wife felt like the green salsa on the enchiladas was very watery. It was still alright though. I had queso fundido. I love cheese so this was good. Will probably be back some day to try more menu items. read more

Old school Mexican restaurant, nice people, mostly clean. Some parking in the lot. They usually have a TV on Univision. The Al Pastor was very good Carne Asada was OK. Chorizo/Mexican sausage is pretty good. Three tacos are filling. I don't need the combo. I liked Soft tacos better than hard tacos. Normal free chips with red and green sauce. I like their green sauce. Charge extra for credit cards. read more

Incredibly friendly service, delicious, authentic Mexican food and great prices. Would come back here if ever in the area. I enjoyed the different salsas and chiclet too! read more

The service was great,the food was delicious,and reasonable priced , would definitely go again,the only negative thing would be parking would be bad sometimes, because they have a cannabis retail store next to the restaurant,and they have a lot traffic going to that store ,the atmosphere is easy and they play music, while you eat , read more

1). Steak n egg breakfast: 3 1/2 star Riced is very tasty. Steak is thin but flavorful. 2). Caldo/beef soup: 3-star It was more better in the past, yet Som how the taste is not as deep And they switched potato to Chayote, texture is weird. 3). Hot Chocolate: 3-star It's not sweet as what I requested, which is good thing, but the flavor is very limited. Server is very friendly and accommodate. read more

This place has the best and attentive service. The food is prepared and cooked by the husband, wife and kids. The ambiance is very chill, you can listen to their tunes or have a conversation without that overly excessive music other restaurants have. I recommend you try their menudo. It's well made, not greasy. Their avocado salsa is AMAZING! I always get tacos so I can slather it all over and eat it. The pozole is very good, their enchiladas with pollo picado, their breakfast options are delicious. If you're thirty, they have beer, coffee and sodas. But they also have beer lol. Stop by and enjoy. You won't get disappointed. read more

Service was atrocious. Three people working and only two parties seated. It took forever for us to get our orders placed and d when we got our food, they messed up. Food was so basic. Definitely not worth getting their pozole or flautas. There is no taste to the food. Even the chips were very stale and their salsa was very spicy. It was pretty dark inside and a little dirty and it looked gross because there were boxes stacked on top of each other against the walls. read more

If you want fresh, homemade, delicious food, Las Ranas cafe is for you! We were in the area visiting family and of course I used my trusty Yelp to help find a local place to grab some good eats. Thanks to y'all we ended up at Las Ranas Cafe. Parking is not the best but we worked it out. We walked in and were seated instantly. From the outside the place looked small but once in, we found a nice table that seated four comfortably and was super clean. We were welcomed warmly and our order was taken immediately. We ordered pozole, taquitos, burritos, and fries. They served complimentary chips and salsas. The food arrived 10-15 minutes after we ordered. And it was served warmly by the server and I think the chef of the restaurant. All tasted delicious! It was the perfect meal on a cold day. We definitely got our Mexican food fix in. I would strongly recommend this place if you're in the area! read more

SO GOOD!!!! What a wonderful find!! The food, drinks and service couldn't have been better. I love trying out mole, and this dish was fantastic. Big portions and served with tortillas. The aqua frescas are perfection and gigantic. My friend had a couple tacos and a mango agua fresca. And the tortilla chips are served warm! Thank you. A+ read more

Second time here, and it is still so very good! Came here a couple of months ago and loved their chile relleno. This time, I tried the chilaquiles and it was good. It's a little on the tangier side for me, but it's still delicious. My husband grabbed the wet burrito with lengua. Let me tell you, the lengua is cooked so well. It was soooo good! The super nacho was so loaded and delicious as well. Only thing on preference side, we'd like to have some more cheese on this dish. The asada was flavorful, but I still enjoyed the lengua more that we should have topped the dish with it instead. Overall, we would be back again. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family and know they'd enjoy it too. Side note, the parking is awkward and small. Please plan accordingly. read more

I ordered the menu and the broth was tasteless. I informed the waiter and he didn't seem to believe me, but eventually asked if I wanted something different. My husband had ordered the pozole and I tasted the broth and liked it. So i too ordered the pozole. I couldn't finish it so I asked the waitress if it could be packed to go. She returned from the kitchen with a soup container and lid and placed it on the table. I informed her that I couldn't transfer the hot soup unless I had a ladle. I asked if she could do it for me, she wasn't happy and gave me a dirty look. She was pissed. The service was terrible, but we still left a nice tip. I do not recommend this restaurant.

Today we took our van to Jiffey Lube for a oil change it was fast and drive off before we left we discuss were we wanna have breakfast I told my let's go to the Las Ranas cafe for breakfast. It couple minutes to get there at shopping center were the restaurant is at but parking is a small we park in the streets across from the shopping center. We walk and step in the restaurant it was small but a hole in the wall restaurant that so people come to the Las Ranas cafe any for breakfast,lunch and dinner. It's a nice restaurant decorated with Ranas or frogs it's cutes but I heard the food is top notch from locals and even Cal State L.A. students to eat or have a drink they have happy hour in the restaurant. We ask the owner can we sit he say yes,we found a table then he came with menu. We look at the menu and see what to order. Then we are to order my wife order the nopals with eggs and I decided to order the chilaquiles with eggs with green salas. He brought our meal it looks so good including my chilaquiles with eggs. I took a bite of my chilaquiles they were so good it feel like homemade like moms cooking that's I remember. The green Salas was was incredible it tangy and with little bit of heat that remind me home cooking. The rice and beans were so good with flavor including the eggs and also comes with bread excellent for dipping the bread in the green salas that I like. My wife enjoy her nopals with eggs she say it like home cooking also. Before we order our meal the owner brought chips and two type of salsa we enjoy the green salas. We need to come back with friends and try out the food and also order different items. read more

I got the chorizo breakfast burrito and it was so yummy! The people were super sweet too! I love all the frog decorations!

The food was good. I got a carne asada plate and it was nice and tender. The portions were good. The plate came with rice and beans and I think tortillas. I got chips and salsa to start with and those are complimentary. The service was good. It's a cute spot. Parking is kind of weird but nothing too crazy. read more

I really enjoyed eating food at this restaurant. The smells were the first thing we sensed. My daughter said "this place is going to be fire." I had the three chicken taquitos plate with beans and rice and my children had the California burrito. We all three had the Horchata. They start you off with a basket of chips and two squeeze bottles of salsa. One green and one red. Both were good but our favorite was the green. The chips also had a few red and green chips to add color to the basket. The horchata was made from scratch. Not too much ice and the large glass was truly a large take home cup. I thought it was the best horchata I have had in a long time. My children agreed. The burritos were quite large and my children ate every bite because they were so good. They chose Carne Asada for their meat and both exclaimed it was delicious, the fries in the burritos were hot and crunchy. It seemed like half the burrito was meat. As for my chicken taquitos, they were freshly made. Served piping hot. The corn tortillas seemed homemade. They were filled with a generous portion of chicken. They were yummy. Served with a huge helping of beans and rice. I had to take the rest home it was too good to waste. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Always good food... I love the breakfast burritos with tocino (bacon) and the staff is super nice love them .

I LOVE Las Ranas Cafe. The staff is super friendly, and they constantly have a smile on their face. The menu is massive, and I have never tried anything that I don't like. My favorite is the sausage breakfast burrito. The environment inside is so welcoming and homey. There are massive tables that give more than enough room for your friends and family. When you come in, you can just tell that you would come outside with a blissful smile on your face. read more

Really good breakfast place!!! The staff and chef are really fantastic people. Hard working and personable. Clean restaurant with all the classic dishes of a Mexican flavor. Highly recommended. read more

The food was very salty, the portions were not adequate, especially at the price point, the food is way over price, the burrito that I had was very small. I've had bigger and less expensive from other branded restaurant as well as food truck, the service was so, so the waitress was not very attentive, as far as the ambience it was satisfactory, however, I would not recommend this restaurant due to the portions of food and the price points, and maybe the chef should check the flavor of the food and make sure it is not over salted. My order was a Carne Asada burrito and a Carne Asada plate.PS I believe the over saltyness of the food was to hide that the meat was rancid. read more

Bomb ! Their Chile rellenos never disappoint. This is definitely a hidden gem right at the end of the 710 freeway.

Las Ranas is located on Valley Blvd a couple blocks West of where the 710 freeway ends, parking in the lot or on the street is BAD as they share the parking with the Liquor store and a couple other merchants most notably VERY BUSY.... Pot Shop!! While the interior is on the smaller side, they have a great menu selection and a plus was that we got to actually sit down and eat during Corona when many places were ToGo only. Pollo en Mole ($13.49) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/las-ranas-cafe-los-angeles-2?select=6un4viz3LIar_e3dpmP__Q Bone in Chicken covered in Mole with Rice, Beans and Tortillas. The Chicken was cooked nicely, still moist and the mole had very good flavor https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/las-ranas-cafe-los-angeles-2?select=moyeFyzRgJmRfjRD3_U9Cw the flour tortillas were nothing special, out of a bag but fresh. The rice was just OK https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/las-ranas-cafe-los-angeles-2?select=cujI9dt6oP1lv3nv9x4gig the beans were a bit better, overall a good dish. 4-Stars Salsas https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/las-ranas-cafe-los-angeles-2?select=3xNYFg4FoVg_wT5TMTeXcw Both Roja y Verde were excellent!! Tacos https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/las-ranas-cafe-los-angeles-2?select=sL9Mxi-0ATsxg5KZkaARaA A bit overpriced for the size of the taco and corn tortilla out of a bag. Asada ($2.50) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/las-ranas-cafe-los-angeles-2?select=_brCV_whHeb6bePJ1FKfQA Nicely grilled beef which did have some fat but not bad and flavor was good. 4-Stars Al Pastor ($2.50) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/las-ranas-cafe-los-angeles-2?select=Ozgn8T8xXZgAZfmWbOYlmQ The Piggy was nicely cooked but seriously lacking in flavor, you can see by the color there's not much marinade. 3-Stars Carnitas ($2.50) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/las-ranas-cafe-los-angeles-2?select=cgn2-aCTd5WCsEs1aMmQ9Q When it comes to Carnitas I don't mind some crispy bits, actually I like the crispy bits, but most of this taco was dry! Good thing they have some excellent Salsa. 2-Stars Lengua ($3.00) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/las-ranas-cafe-los-angeles-2?select=7ezykwxMdWaBtOg64nuCuA Winner, Winner, best of the 4 tacos! lean, tender, moist and flavorful. 5-Stars read more

Worst Mexican food I've ever had. Just got charged $12 for a burrito with a little egg and cheese. Absolute rip off

AMAZING food for a very reasonable price!! Our dishes were so flavorful, fresh, and downright delicious. A very well kept, clean restaurant with an adorable mom and pop feel. It's a nice break from all the Asian food in the SGV. The staff were so welcoming and attentive, they stopped by multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed! The frog decor is soooo cute. I can't wait to come back here again! Going to recommend this to all my family and friends, what a gem of an establishment read more
