    California Burrito
    Roman M.

    Easy pick up, with fast service. The California Burrito was actually phenomenal, with tons of flavor. It was a little pricey for the amount however.

    Enjoyed the food served here. My wife loves their enchiladas suizas. I tend to get their siete mares soup, their cilantro chicken, or their adobado.

    Front entry looked promising.

    First visit and was recommended by a local. The place was so busy, we immediately thought it must be great. However, we were very disappointed by the lackluster service, and the food. I mean, this had to be some of the worst Mexican food we've ever eaten. FOOD: First off, a basket of Chips & Salsa was $3...ouch! We started with an order of Camaron (Shrimp) Tostada Ceviche ($12.99) to share among the five of us. It was only okay. For entrèes, I had the Camarones a la Diabla ($22.99), which was awful. The shrimp were good, however the Diabla sauce tasted like ketchup, with sriracha for the heat, and the rice and beans were very bland. We also tried the Two Shrimp Enchilada Plate ($21.99), Camarones Rancheros ($22.99), Two Enchiladas Suizas Plate ($15.99), and Two Shrimp Enchiladas a la carte ($11.99). The green sauce on the Enchiladas Suizas was good, but everything else was bland or downright not tasty. Ramona needs good restaurants to accommodate their booming winery tourist experiences. Unfortunately, I don't think this one was. I'd be hard pressed to make a return visit. Very disappointing.

    Huge portions and good quality ingredients. Food was really good. I also got a Blended Mango margarita but was disappointed by the lack of tequila taste- it tasted like a virgin drink. Their speciality drinks are made with wine agave and maybe thats why? Not sure, but still was a good mango flavor. Service was good!

    Cheese enchilada

    Had a late lunch here on Monday, we were one of three tables of people in the restaurant and I was sad to see it slow [it was about 4 o'clock] because the food was really good and the waitress was funny and kind. I had the combo plate, chile relleno and cheese enchilada with a side of beans and rice and I will order it again. Thank you.

    I've literally driven by this place for the last 15 years on my way to my wife's family in Ramona always thinking about how much I want to try it and I finally have now... twice! The food is definitely a 5 star... the portions are huge and the food is fresh and delicious! The chips could definitely use some help and/or some salt... especially since you have to pay for them and they're not complimentary like most places Service and decor are adequate... not that I really care as long as the food is good. Until something major changes I'll continue to come here for a decent authentic Mexican meal

    We were looking for a place for breakfast on a recent Sunday while passing through town and because Mariscos Mar De Cortez was open we stopped there. Overall, it was good but I left having wished I had ordered something else. Here is what we noted: - Spacious outdoor patio, which was important to us given COVID - Large menu, including lots of Mexican breakfast items - I ordered the Huevos de la Mexicana, my son got the Huevos Rancheros, and my wife got the Chilaquiles. The portions of all the dishes were huge! - My son and I substituted black beans for the refried beans...but later got hit with an up-charge on our bill. It would have been nice to have alerted to that by the server. - My wife and son really liked their selections; mine was ok but the eggs were a bit dried out and pretty so-so. - Service was fine...nothing out of the ordinary Bottom line: Acceptable place; we would probably go back again but perhaps after trying some other options in town.

    This wasn't just a fried chicken sandwich--it was a statement…read more You can taste the difference immediately. The chicken is insanely crisp on the outside, juicy and clean on the inside--not greasy, not heavy, just done right. The kind of crunch that actually means something. The slaw brings freshness and balance, the bun is soft but holds up, and every bite feels intentional. But what really sets this place apart is the sourcing. Everything is local. You're not eating some mass-produced, freezer-to-fryer shortcut--you're eating ingredients that came from nearby farms, raised and prepared with care. That shows up in the flavor, the texture, and honestly how you feel after. It hits that rare sweet spot: indulgent, but still clean. Even the fries--simple, crispy, not drowning in oil--feel like they belong next to it, not just an afterthought. This is what food should be. Real ingredients, done well, no corners cut. Comfort food that doesn't leave you wrecked. Local. Thoughtful. Straight up dialed.

Recently went for brunch for the first time, outdoor patio space was lovely. Pancakes were delicious and the bacon/potatoes were great as well. My only suggestion would be having ketchup/hot sauce/sugar packets at the table already since it gets so busy at times it can take awhile for someone to grab them for us. Overall, everyone who works there is lovely and the food is always excellent!

I had heard great things about this place, which makes it even more disappointing. The only positive was the quaint country ambiance, including a nice old mural on the wall. Service was a bit slow, but it was a busy Sunday morning, so that's understandable and not part of my rating. The food, however, was inedible. I should note here that I came in quite hungry and with a specific hankering for a greasy chicken fried steak and eggs, so I was in a very easy to please state. I ordered the eggs "over medium," and the eggs came out with raw, runny whites and were also cold. The toast didn't arrive until 5-10 minutes later, so everything just sat there getting colder. The "steak" was mostly fat and gristle. The first couple of bites I ate were gristly but doable with help from the gravy - but the third bite was a giant glob of gristly fat that I couldn't even chew - i spit it out and that's all I ate. The hash browns tasted like frozen unseasoned potatoes with only a patch of sear on the outside while the bulk of it was mushy and pasty and gross. Of the whole meal I basically only ate my toast plus a bite or two of each thing on my plate. I left feeling sick to my stomach. After dropping off the food (and later the delayed toast), our server never checked back. No refills, no follow-up. When she finally returned, she asked to clear my very full, barely touched plate without any acknowledgment. I had to volunteer that the food was inedible. The response was dismissive and rushed, with no effort to understand the issue or make it right. An offhand "sorry about that" was offered while walking away, followed shortly by the $60 bill. The complete lack of accountability and concern was frankly abhorrent. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had, and I won't be back. I would have left hungry except that I was queasy from the gristle and paste.

Now that we live in Ramona, we have been venturing out and trying the different eating establishments. This place is like Cheers, where everyone knows your name. It has a great vibe and decent prices. The plates are HUGE and definitely shareable. I have been here a few times now, and I always really like what I order, with one exception: I am not a fan of their biscuits. I have tried on a few occasions and they do not do it for me. Today's was really not palatable. You can tell it was overworked and not cooked properly. You could still taste raw flour. It stuck to the plate it was on; that's how poorly cooked it was. On the happy side, we had great breakfasts. I ordered something different today, their Au Gratin omelette. It tasted great, but did not taste anything like Au Gratin potatoes. I would order it again. We also had chicken-fried steak with gravy and a chorizo scramble. Both were tasty and super filling. I understand their cinnamon rolls are out of this world. Since I rarely eat sweet things, I have yet to take a bite. Hoping next time I go out with friends, someone orders one. There is outdoor seating, and the establishment is dog-friendly. So bring Fido along and enjoy a meal. *Please excuse the photo. I forgot to take one before I started eating my omelette. You can see how dry the biscuit was in the next photo.

The menu is huge in the best way, with so many options to choose from! Our waitress was incredibly sweet, checked on us just the right amount, and our food came out perfectly. I got the French toast and it was so good! Fluffy, buttery, and the portions were super generous! Also, if you're an iced coffee person, I would definitely recommend! It was massive, tasted great, and they even offered cups so we could take the rest to go! Overall, this place was amazing for breakfast and I'd absolutely recommend it. Can't wait to come back and try the lunch menu next time!
