I reviewed Medrano's two years ago with a five star. It is still a 5 star. The food was hot and fresh and my tacos were full of tender shredded beef, lettuce, cheese and tomatoes. The beans and rice were also tasty. The restaurant was clean and bright. The service was excellent. Best part was the price. They have a special where you can have your choice of 3 items from tacos, burritos, chili rellenos, or enchiladas in your choice of shredded chicken or shredded beef. It comes with rice and beans. You get for two people for $35 making each meal only $17.50. read more

Decided to go for Cinco de Mayo and was not let down this place continues to serve above par for your customer service and the taste of their food. The restaurant itself was very crowded so good turn out read more

This was my first time time & the waiter wasn't to friendly I ordered a enchilada plate to go & when I got my food it was cold like it was sitting for a while that taste was ok but I will not go back again read more

Recently visited this location for a birthday party. Though the menu was preselected, we had the following items. Beef chimichangas, cheese enchilada, chicken fajitas, beans and rice. And green salad. Each of the above items were tried and I must say all had great flavors and were not greasy. The cheese enchilada, though basic to me, was great. The sauce was flavorful, or your A-Typical sauce. Tasted authentic to me. The chips and salsa were great with salsa flavorful with plenty of cilantro, which I like. The staff were helpful and spot on with drinks. Ice teas never emptied. The restaurant was clean and well organized without a bunch of clutter. Ext time I'm in Lancaster, this will be a spot to stop for a nice dinner. Can't wait to try the full menu of items. read more

New to Lancaster and only had tried the Medranos on Avenue K near the fwy. I was not pleased with the food. A coworker had her babyshower at the 10th st Location. I ordered a Asada Burrito and to my surprise it was good. Our waitress was nice and attentive. They had a nice system for everyone in the party to pay separate. This experience made me wanna come back. I will be back to check out happy hour read more

It was ok I wish we didn't have a wait for our silverware we sat there just looking at our food on the table! Good thing we had some chips

Went here with 3 other people. Everyone enjoyed their food. They didn't have any food specials for happy hour but did have drink specials. The service was very good. The music was not super loud and we got seated right away. My wife really liked that you can mix flavors for margaritas. read more

Medrano's Mexican Restaurant - Great food and service, have been here many times. But also very nice paintings on the walls --make a nice background for a group picture. - Mexican Near Me - Lancaster, California

The best Mexican food in the AV. Have been going to Medrano's for years the one on 10th St., West never disappoints

My SO and I were discussing about lunch. Then we decided to come here after watching a good movie. I ordered my usual (@ Mexican Restaurants) Cheese Enchilada, it came with a side salad. My SO ordered Chilaquiles from the lunch specials. While waiting we ordered a cocktail, it gave us a good buzz. Yay They gave us fresh chips with salsa too. Customer service was good. We left with a full belly. We would definitely come back and try the other menu items. Plenty of parking. read more

I was in town visiting family . They were raving about this place. We went for brunch. The variety of Mexican favorites were plenty. From camaroneros a la diabla, carnitas made to order eggs, tamales, soups. Chicharrón in salsa, fruit salads and a ton more and of course mamosa's . Food well worth the brunch. The service was ok but it's brunch most of the staff were friendly the waiter we had was very serious person but the rest of the staff were friendly and accommodating. The interior was festive and clean. I would highly recommended the brunch the food is spot on Mexican with many traditional dish's, enjoy! read more

I got 1 burrito, I kids quesadilla, 1 drink and one slice of cake and it was like 80 bucks. Complete rip off for what you get .

ordered the chicken en mole. It was terrrrible! The chicken was tough, rubbery and inedible. Chips seemed stale, damp. So many Hispanics in that area, they could do much better. read more

What a way to start the morning please don't come here the food was trash overcooked bland and more the staff was okay...and that was just about the only thing that was okay I was craving menudo so I went ahead and ordered it thinking I was about to enjoy my meal the food came I did not like it at all I had one spoon worth to try it I had them take it away no discount for it either the water I ordered was 10$... lol wt$*& long story short the bill came out to almost 100 and I didn't enjoy anything I sound like a kid that didn't get his toy but my reason is to not let you make the same mistake I made save ur money go eat somewhere better believe me you won't be missing out on anything here. It's a shame because the restaurant looks like it could have great potential wackatorious. read more

I'm so disappointed to make this review. My dad was a regular here with his wife. He brought me here for dinner on Tuesday. It started great, the margarita looked good. Unfortunately, we waited at the restaurant for an hour and a half and wasn't brought our food. All we ordered was a soup and salad, and tacos. After forty five minutes they came to finally bring chips and salsa. We asked about our order hit before we could finish asking the young guy just laughed and went to the next table. They never came back to check on us or when we just wanted to leave, we couldn't find anyone to ask for the check. My margarita (which seemed like just juice) was $11 so we left $15 and left after not getting anyone to come check on us or find anyone to get the check. My dad was so disappointed he had made it clear he will not be returning. I tried calling and asking for a manager and left my name and number to try and resolve this and never had a return call, hence taking it here and warning others. read more

After a few nights out of town, my husband and I were heading back home and craved authentic Mexican food. We passed by Medranos and knew this had to be the spot. We were seated in the main dining room but the kids there were too loud for our preference. The server was gracious and moved us over to the bar. This was more our style!! We each ordered the carne milanesa with a side of ranchera sauce and a house salad. The food here is huge, next time we can share a dish. It was very delicious and hit the spot. The chips and salsa were amazing. I threw some money in the jukebox and played some of my favorite top 40 spanish/ reggaeton songs and enjoyed a glass of white zinfindel. It was a fun experience. read more

My mom told me about this restaurant and the best part was we could get two meals for $25.00. The restaurant had its own vibe which was really nice and made me wish we could sit and dine but we ordered to go. The food didn't take long to come out and was hot you can tell it was made to order. The staff were friendly and the bathroom was clean. I will be returning and dinning in. read more

The el elephante burrito is super huge. It will definitely fill a big guy or 2-3 people. It usually comes with shredded chicken or beef but I asked for carne asada and oh man was that a good idea. It's about $20 but well worth it and it comes with a salad. They serve you chips and salsa before you order. The service is fast and the refills kept coming. I highly recommend this place read more

Went around 5PM with the family. Place was divided between private party & regular customers. No high chairs for kids, staff in regular clothes (hoodies, jeans, on the phone) walking back and forth from the kitchen & mingling with customers. Others standing in the kitchen walk way eating. Food was a 2/5 Ambiance 2/5 Service 2/5 read more

I've grown to love Medrano's over the years. Must have had a bad experience 9 yrs ago. We still go to both the mall and Lancaster locations frequently. Great food!!! read more

We've been to this location on 10St W and J4 three times so far and so I felt it was time to leave a review. Every time we went, the servers were extremely helpful, friendly, and consistently refilling our drinks, chips, and salsa. The food comes out in a timely manner and always looks freshly made. Also, I've noticed a lot of diners pack their leftover food to-go because of the large portion size, don't get me wrong, which is great! The place is always clean and the ambiance is great. A bit off topic, I've read some of the negative reviews about loud Mariachi band playing, I've never came across them playing, but it's normal for it to be loud, so to avoid it, just call in advance to find out if they are playing that day instead of putting up a negative review when all they are just trying to do is make a holiday more festive. The food isn't overly salty and not bland. Let's get real here, I've tried several items on the menu, like the chile rellenos and the shrimp quesadillas, which was tasty, and the shrimp fajitas was okay. They have a really nice ninos menu for the kids. My little one usually gets chicken tenders with fries, which is decent, and my older son tried the hamburger and didn't like it, the waitress noticed he didn't eat it, and immediately asked how was everything, I told the waitress about the hamburger, and she immediately asked if she could replace it with something else, I told her it wasn't necessary, because my son just didn't want to try anything else, and mind you he is a picky eater. Also, no offense, but I warned him not to order a burger at a Mexican restaurant, it's like ordering Italian pasta at a burger joint, it just isn't done. Anyway, the waitress removed it off the bill without me even asking her. She really went above and beyond. To me the service is outstanding every time, the food is exceptional, fairly priced, large portion, and yes, the shrimp fajitas for one person really has only six shrimp and more veggies in it, if you'd like more, I'm sure you can order more at a fair cost, and most importantly the place is always spotless. I've paid with my credit card on a few occasions and no issues with being overcharged, and I'm always given a receipt for proof. If any issues, I feel like they'd know how to properly handle it, which makes me feel better. We'll definitely be stopping by again and I'd recommend it to everyone I know. read more

The service is ALWAYS fast and great! everyone is kind and even remember our family! the food is great and comes quick. Right when you sit they bring you chips and salsa and are taking your drink order :) we love it here! oh also it's always clean including the bathroom. read more

The place is ok. Can come off as a bit bland despite their prices. I don't get how they believe selling two taquitos, rice, and beans for$20 is a "deal" because it is NOT. read more

Food was very bad. Very little flavor in the burrito. Service was good though. Waitresses were attentive amd constantly checking up on you. The only thing good about this place was the endless free chips and salsa. Even the Albondegas soup was bland and the meatballs tasted processed.. how can you mess up a signature soup?! Will i ever be back? Not a chance. read more

Usually pretty good service but today bad experience. I guess only one server and we waited for more than 20 minutes she never came to our table. Since we got there she was talking to another costumer. Even when she saw we were leaving didn't even ask why we are leaving. Got to think twice if I'm coming back anytime soon. read more

!!BEWARE OF THIS LOCATION!!! When going out for happy hour at the bar on a Thursday night, two of the WOMEN bartender's had taken note of my card info and committed fraud. My total had come out to $64 and some change, I left a tip in cash. The same day the money was taken out of my bank account just to see 2 days later I had gotten a refund of that $64 no longer showing that transaction. ONE DAY after seeing it was refunded I see a new transaction for $110. Come to find out the woman tipped herself an additional $64 on top of the $15 i left her in cash. This is ridiculous seeing I'm not the only person to leave a review like this. read more

I still can't believe how great their food taste, just like a mom'n'pop joint! No preservative taste or offset taste of plastic products or old spices! Quality at its finest! I first went to the Steak house on 20th West and was amazed, then to get the same taste at the West Palmdale location a couple weeks later, they are now going to be my regular go to anytime I want to go out or get takeout! Paying the extra for quality you're actually going to eat, yeah, I'm sold!! read more

Im giving this place a generous 4 ! Only because its one if the few non shot holes that is not ugly n dirty and that has non felons, in Lancaster! The place is nice... customer service is good.... But the food is average. A typical El Torito Or Acapulcos at best! The inside is pleasant! read more

Ordered food to pick up. It was awful. Tamale masa was uncooked. Everything was smothered under a thick layer of cheese. Enchilada was mushy. I threw most of it away, what a grand waste if $28!!! read more

I went yesterday with my cousin and she had hair in her food . The waiter forgot to put in the order to get it remade and then asked if she still wanted to the food after she forgot. We asked to speak with the manager. We were told the manager was coming but never came. I just feel like they could've been more attentive to the situation and it makes me not want to come back again. The only thing I can say is that the drinks were good. read more

Drinks were awesome!! This Mexican restaurant has been here for years. The service was really good, we were seated quickly, chips and salsa were brought out fast. We ordered our drinks, peach and mangonada margaritas.... They were delicious! We split the sampler platter and everything was good, especially the potatoes. They constantly checked on us and asked if we needed anything, great service! read more
