We love Medranos... the soup and fish dishes are great. We are glad that it is on the west side of town. The drinks are pricey so I drink water. read more

OK place to stop in for a beer. I always have some complaint about the food though. It doesn't hit like other places in the AV for me. Some folks rave about it but me, I just don't like it. Beans - they aren't traditional smashed refried like I like it. Something is off about them. Maybe they don't use lard or something but I don't like them. Rice - bland. Not much to them maybe a little tomato coloring but not much! Enchilada - weird and not like I've had in other places. Meat was tough and stringy. I didn't finish it at all. Beer - ice cold and perfect! I'm coming for a beer only next time! Service - friendly attentive and efficient. We were happy with the wait staff and also the bar was nice and clean. All in all I have been here a number of times throughout living in AV up to 40 years now and I have never walked away from Medrano's thinking it was a great Mexican meal. There's just way too much better around there to eat. read more

My door dashing experience was unfortunately awful. We were missing items (side soups in our combos) and my enchilada was made without any sauce on it. It was so unfortunate and Door dash didn't give me any money back for my enchilada. So unfortunate and so disappointed read more

Came in today while visiting my mother in law. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated right away. Wow the service here was top notch. They seem to have a bar area looks super cool, but unfortunately we don't drink. Anyway the chips, salsa, bean dip and more salsa was yummy while you wait for the food. Someone was always constantly refill our drinks, our chips and salsa. I was really impressed. Our food was great as well. Unfortunately we don't live closer or we would be here all the time. Highly recommend and I would definitely be back soon read more

I enjoy the happy hour and would rate it higher except they aren't really family oriented. We have 2 kids and sometimes we might want to stop by for happy hour except kids aren't allowed in the bar and they won't extend any happy hour deals outside of the bar. I've never had issues with the food. Service is always nice and I enjoy the atmosphere in there. They also have closed early without notice. Anyway if they would be more flexible with their happy hour I would definitely frequent it more. read more

I've visited before during happy hour in the bar area (note: happy hour prices are only available if seated in the bar). The service was excellent, but I was disappointed to be charged $4.50 for soda water (a first for me) and a $2.95 surcharge for habanero sauce. The food was average and lacked seasoning, and I found it surprising to be charged for hot sauce at a Mexican restaurant. Overall, the pricing and experience have led me to decide not to return. read more

Medrano's Mexican Restaurant - Peach Margarita & Burrito Ranchero with rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Quartz Hill, California

I'm never one to really leave reviews but here I am. Let me start out by saying how much I love the food at Medrano's. I enjoy their food so much that I order very frequently, at times at least twice a week. However, I'm going to share my dislike with Medrano's. They constantly are messing up my orders. And today was the last straw for me. I called to speak to the supervisor to inform him that the food I ordered was not sent correctly yet again and he had the audacity to tell me that I had to take my issue up with DoorDash. Excuse me? With DoorDash?? Why?? They didn't pack the order. They simply go pick up the order, and deliver the order. How convenient it must be to put the blame on someone else. So of course I become very upset and the supervisor places me on hold to ask his employee what happened to the order. Then the supervisor had the audacity to return to the line and tell me that his employee claims he packaged the order correctly and proceeds to tell me he believes his employee and would never think his employee was a liar. So at this point I'm insulted because he is basically calling me a liar. And honestly I've been left fuming at this point. This is not how a customer should be treated. Medrano's, learn how to treat your customers especially when they are frequently ordering from your establishment on a weekly basis. Your food is awesome but your customer service sucks!!! Remember, it's your customers who keep you in business. Learn how to treat them better. read more

rather not waste my time again coming here only order a burrito with 3 topping on it and unfortunately they mad it wrong 2 different times and by the time the burrito came out it looked like it wasn't worth the price 24 dollars for a small ass burrito that looked like a kids burrito.. read more

I am writing to formally bring to your attention a very disappointing experience I had with your staff at Medrano's Mexican Food (5037 W Avenue N, Unit 19, Lancaster, CA 93536). On my recent order, I specifically requested tacos prepared with cilantro and onion only. Unfortunately, my order was made incorrectly "American style" with lettuce and tomato, which I cannot eat. Because I was admitted to the hospital immediately after my order, I was unable to return the food within the usual timeframe. I did not get to eat my meal, and it unfortunately went to waste. When I called to resolve this matter, the employee at the front desk was dismissive and unprofessional. She refused to give me her name, kept me on hold for 10 minutes, and then claimed the manager had "just walked out." At first, she told me there were no other managers available, but later offered to connect me with an assistant manager. The assistant manager (José Alvarez), when he finally came to speak with me, addressed me with a rude and condescending attitude. He acted as though he did not understand my concern, forcing me to repeat myself multiple times. His tone was hostile, and he demanded I show him a receipt even after I had explained that I had been hospitalized and did not have this available to me. The overall experience left me feeling disrespected, dismissed, and extremely upset. As a customer, I expected courtesy, understanding, and at least a willingness to acknowledge that my order was made incorrectly. Instead, I was treated with very rude attitudes, hostility and gaslighting. I am requesting that you review how this situation was handled and take steps to ensure your staff provides respectful, professional customer service in the future. read more

Margaritas are very good and the enchiladas and shrimp with rice are my favorite go 2s good portions

We've gone to this restaurant a handful of times because my little ones like the ceviche. But every time we go, we get less and less. How is this $42 worth? And to top it off, it tastes old. I get it, it's Monday so it's probably left over from the weekend, but come on!! read more

Would leave 0 stars if the app let me. Every time we order from here they are SUPER skimpy on their food and ALWAYS miss something on the order! Again tonight we had to drive back cause they missed our extra sides and it's just irritating. Gave this place numerous tries BUT we are done eating here, they skimp on serving sizes and charge WAY TOO much! $65 for all that's pictured. Will be going to Don Sebastian's on 50th west in the future, they know how to serve food, not skimp on the serving sizes and sell food at a good price! If you're gonna charge this much..... give us what we pay for! read more

Food was ok. Was really packed got seated right away. Ordered a chicken enchilada with rice and beans food was cold. The chips and salsa were too hot for my 80 yr old mother in law. They brought out a bowl of tomato sauce for her was not good. The waiter never refilled our drinks. My husband ordered an avocado salad and the avocado was brown.we are from out of town and wanted some good Mexican food won't be going here again. read more

Really disappointed. I tried to reserve the room to host an event with 60-100 people. Went into the restaurant on Thursday & was promised a phone call by Saturday. I called Sunday morning with an explanation that the manager would be in around 12 or 12:30. I called again at 7pm with a promise for a phone call on Monday. At 6 pm Monday evening I made a reservation at a restraint that wants my business. read more

We went on Sunday and sat in the bar. Maria was our server and she was fantastic. Made us feel right at home! The rest of this is going to sound like I'm complaining but this is the honest truth. I ordered a margarita which was so stinking sweet I poured a ton of tajin in it to try and balance it out. Also the salt on the rim was like table salt which was so over powering I had to take it off. The chips were the biggest disaster! We weren't even the only ones to complain that the oil had gone bad and the news from the kitchen was that they weren't gunna change it. Which sucked cuz I wanted nachos or taquitos but couldn't stand the flavor of the old oil they were using. I know it would've been a disruption to their orders, but it's better to put out quality food than something that people are not enjoying, and multiple patrons have complained about. The only other highlight to this visit were the cheese enchiladas. They were great but unfortunately not enough to get me to go back here. How we have so many of these in our city baffles me. This was the first and last time I go here! Save your money and go to El Toreo off 10th West and Ave L. These guys were closed Sunday otherwise I wouldn't have spend 50$ on food and drink that majorly missed the mark. read more

Great cocktails and food. This is a busy restaurant - so get there early, or don't be in a hurry for dinner.

Redownloaded Yelp just to write this review because I've never been disrespected like this in my life. Absolute scumbag bartender who's 65 years old acting like he's never seen a California ID before grabbed my ID and walked around to two people asking if it was fake. He was not new just trying to make a scene and embarrass me to the patrons at the bar, absolutely ridiculous. Second day in a row this guy has been a prick, not just on his actions but his attitude the whole time doing it. Drove to Don Sebastian down the street for real service. read more

Great food as always. The service is wonderful. Once you are seated chips and dip are on the table right away. They are fast, friendly and courteous. The ambiance is very nice too. read more

The food was good., And the service was great. I had the shrimp soup and it was too large for me to eat it all. My husband had the enchilada and tamale, he ate it all up. This place is convenient for us it's only like two minutes away from home. read more

COCKROACH INFESTED SOUP!! Where there is one roach there are SEVERAL CRITTERS !!! I ordered two large tortillas soups to go and when I got home and took the first spoon full, a giant roach. The fact that a roach got in my soup, speaks volumes about the restraunts lack of cleanliness and management. First of all, a roach would not crawl into a bowl or hot soup, so that soup was definitely NOT FRESH. Secondly, the fact that they did not catch this ROACH in the soup before serving comes to show that there must be a deep infiltration of roaches in the kitchen, It's DISGUSTING ... This is a law suit waiting to happen. ... Medranos should be held up to par with the rest of the food industry. As a restaurant you have responsibility to serve food that people are able to consume, not get sick, or potentially kill. I would not recommend to anyone ever. read more

A couple people recommended we try this place. I was a bit leery because the family restaurant over on 10th St West is just awful. Nonetheless, and feeling a little bit of trepidation, over we came. You know, it wasn't bad. I started with dinner salad and homemade blue cheese dressing, thought it was fine. The next item was a Chili Relleno for Mr. Picky and Beef Fajitas for me. Mr. Picky thought the Chili Relleno was "pretty good" and stacked up to the other place in town he goes to order them. My fajitas were a very generous serving size and I was glad to have help eating the dish. Mr. P liked the grilled onions and bell peppers, and he polished that off. We also liked the guacamole and I thought the pico de gallo was refreshing and just wish there had been more of it. We finished by ordering dessert, fried ice-cream. I actually quite liked it even though the vanilla flavor wasn't that noticeable. Mr. Picky said he'd prefer flan next time. Overall, not a bad meal and I wouldn't be in trepidation about walking in next time. :-) read more

Came in on Sunday around noon and were sat immediately which was great! We ordered the shrimp ceviche and carne Asada fries! It was very delicious. I would totally recommend the shrimp ceviche tostadas, they give you a great amount and it is so tasty. The appetizer Asada fries were a large portion and can be shared amount 2-4 people. Our server was a short male and to be honest he was not very pleasant. I felt rushed when ordering and he was not very personable. He seemed annoyed and when we asked what level of spicy a certain plate was, he seemed annoyed that we asked. But I did enjoy my food. read more

This is for delivery only. It's always tough to pay more for Mexican food when lots of taco shops and even trucks can offer up some amazing dishes. So when you pay more of a premium with no sit down experience it's hard to judge fully. The food wasn't bad. We ordered flautas beans and rice. Tacos and chili verde. It was all decent but a little pricey. It was just a ok read more

Best food. We enjoy eating at Medrano's it's our go to food place. Tasty, hot if you get take out or DoorDash, good food.

We go to Medranos frequently. We live their menu and service is always wonderful. Beware of the bar on Friday nights. Once karaoke starts, it gets very loud and we had to leave. read more

Love this place! Service is awesome and the salsa is legendary! My wife and I love the beef and chicken fajitas

I ordered some soup and at the bottom of the soup there was a big moth fly. I told the waiter and they told me there's lots of flys in the back and "it's not a big deal" and when I told the manger she told me "eating bugs aren't going to hurt you" ... this place is a joke, I used to come here all the time and the fact that there saying there's lots of bugs in the back and doing nothing to stop it is crazy, they are extremely rude and extremely gross, I'll be calling the health department and definitely spreading the word on how gross this place is. Do yourself a favor and stay away from medranos read more

I've heard great things about this place , so I came by to try it out. I will say the inside is huge and clean. Staff is friendly and jokes around with you. Unfortunately the food isn't the best especially For what they are charging for certain dishes. I tried the enchiladas they come with soup or salad beans and rice. Salad was just lettuce the harder part of it and 3 croutons. Rice was bland chicken was dry, beans and sauce were alright.... read more

I've always liked their food and great margaritas. My go to is the chicken tostada which is wonderful. But, this last time I ordered it, it had chunky chicken, as opposed to shredded chicken. I know it seems petty, but when I bite into a piece of chicken and it has gristle in the bite, it ruins the whole dish for me. Please shred your chicken in the future. read more

I was in Medranos in QH on Monday in the bar area between 4 and 5 pm. I paid with my card. The waitress took for ever to bring my card back. I actually had to get up and to go to the front desk and she said oh I was just about to bring you your card. We'll surprise surprise. I had a bogus charge on my account on Tuesday morning. Thankfully my bank caught it and I did too cause I check every morning. I have called several times to speak with a manager and there never seems to be a manager when I call. Be careful when dining there read more

I will never eat there again. First the staff was completely unprofessional and there so called manager Josie was consending and rude. I ordered the bontano platter but was charged for two. I never once said two bontano platter when I spoke to Josue she said because I didn't say one they charge for two. The food was cold and not edible and the chicken wings only had sauce on half of the wing. When the waitress walked by she commented on they looks like they sauce the chicken wings and brought me sauce. However when I was telling Josie the so called manager her story changed. I will never eat here again. To make matters worse she said my card didn't go through. Which is not true I get notification to my phone each time my card is ran. I am completely appalled and I will make sure I tell everyone about my experience. read more

My friends and i went there on a Friday last Friday night, June 7th, 2024. We sat in the bar, and it was karaoke night, so there was a 2 drink min, no biggie, except the drinks tasted like flavored water. The drinks barely had any alcohol in them. The food was even worse. Her menudo tasted like flavored water, his meal was average, and my wings looked like someone had eaten part of them, sent them back, and they were refried and served to me. Most of them had no meat, and all of them were overcooked and dry. This was my second time there and I was very disappointed again. read more

Medrano's Mexican Restaurant - Why Yes, we are doing our best to help our local community businesses here in Palmdale. - Mexican Near Me - Quartz Hill, California

Been coming here for a while because it is close to the house but honestly kind of tired of them. Their food is marginal and their customer service sucks. Came here once and the refried beans were burnt. When we asked for new ones they came back a few minutes later and said they were fine. They said they tasted them in the back and a couple of them tasted it but the majority thought it was ok so it was ok. Their chips taste like they are burnt or that they don't change their oil out (sometimes). Made a reservation once for 9 and showed up 20 minutes early. 10 minutes after the reservation time they went to seat us and were going to split our group. They ultimately said the larger tables were taken by walk ins and had a take it or leave it. Disappointing when a local place has potential but doesn't cut it. There are plenty of other places to go. read more
