We were hesitant to try this place, but wow SO glad we took the chance! This restaurant completely won us over from the moment we walked in. The young lady at the front was an absolute sweetheart and made us feel so welcome right away.The atmosphere and tables were very simple nothing fancy but it was CLEAN. Now, the food let's talk about it! We ordered the carne asada and al pastor tacos and they were absolutely delicious. The flavor was incredible, the texture was spot on, and the meat was lean with no fat. These tacos are the real deal !!! filling, flavorful, and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. If you're on the fence about coming here, don't be! The food and customer service are both top-notch. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in town. Highly recommend! read more

We stopped a few miles away to charge and saw that this place had really good reviews. We were starving so we got a chili relleno dinner, a cheese enchilada dinner and 2 orders of vegetarian nachos. They gave complimentary waters w lids and they were big which we really appreciated. The young guy working the counter was very helpful and friendly. The parking was easy and they're open later than a lot of other places. The food was all delicious! We would def stop here again the next time we have to pass through Modesto. read more

Customer service was okay. The place, although small, has a nice vibe to it. My food was decent. My child didn't want to eat her shrimp she usually loves shrimp. It tasted like a chemical. My brother tried it and said the same. I tried to have a normal convo with the owner about it and told him I'm not looking to get a refund, just a heads in case another customer orders the same thing, the shrimp has a funky taste. Without responding, he went to the back, came back after a few minutes and told me it's the tomatoes. And I understand, this is how he pays his bills and someone is giving him what he perceives as a negative comment when I see it as constructive criticism. If he truly believes that tomatoes caused that chemical taste, there's nothing further to discuss. I respectfully said ok, thanks for everything said goodbye and left. I just hope no one else had to taste that. Pretty pricey for the quality of food too. read more

I like this place. I've been there 3 times and can vouch for the tacos, tortas and burritos. Delicious food and friendly service. I'm a long time supporter of the taco trucks in Salida, so it's nice to know I have options when I'm on the other side of Modesto too. Rana's will not disappoint. read more

Since I began eating here nearly 6 months ago I haven't really eaten at other Mexican restaurants! Rana's has become van one of my faves. Today I had their pozole! It's quite impressive to me that they cut up the pork in bite size pieces. The flavor was totally on point! They provide you an array of garnishes. I have tried lots of their dishes and I've never been disappointed! It's a family owned restaurant not a chain, one where the family is always respectable and kind to the customers! I hope if you go you enjoy it as much as I do and I drive a few miles to come when I do. read more

Everything was wow, the food, how nice the staff was, the mom and pop feel the place had. I personally never leave reviews but couldn't even wait till my entree was finished to leave one. Tamales were so tender, enchiladas had great flavor, chips and salsa both tasted fresh. 10/10 perfect mom and pop Mexican spot. Definitely coming back! read more

Sunday breakfast. Very tasty, and not too spicy. They also give you freshly fried tortillas chips to eat with any salsa from their salsa bar. Pozole was full of meat. Theses are both large bowls. Will definitely be back and try something new too. Family style restaurant, nothing fancy but good. Oder at the counter then sit down. read more

Having Posole very good menudo is good too family owned and operated. Great customer service. Try it.

My wife and I came here for lunch on a rainy day. We opted to buy from the all day breakfast menu. The food was delicious! We got the huevos rancheros and the Mexican sausage/egg/potatoes plates. The flavors were good, and the side touches were quite nice. The refried beans were puréed giving them an especially creamy texture, and the tortilla chips were cooked just right. The service was also excellent. Even though you order at the counter, we were greeted with a smile and personal service. They delivered the food to the table, and they checked on us to refill chips and drinks as needed. This just became our new go to place for Mexican food. read more

Great food. Great people! Always fresh and good every time. I really enjoy the tao salad. It is packed with meat.

The enchiladas and crunchy tacos are amazing, and I really admire that it's a genuine family-run business. Friendly and welcoming service. The corn chips are the thick, quality kind--not the cheap ones, which shows they care about the details. I highly recommend this place!! read more

Happy to try out a new local Mexican restaurant. I had the huevos con chorizo breakfast burrito with coffee, my wife had the pozole, we both had agua fresca's also. The burrito was great, perfect egg to chorizo ratio , it also had refried beans and cheese in it. My wife enjoyed the pozole, the pork was tender and had good flavor. The coffee was served a little different. I was given a paper cup of hot water, with a small container of instant coffee and sugar on the side. It was fine, but I'd prefer just plain brewed coffee in a mug. We definitely are planning a return trip and wish this business success! read more

I first ordered in this restaurant from DoorDash, my son and I were impressed. I ordered their quesabirria, it was delicious. One day as I was driving home I saw where this restaurant was located so I went in. I saw the owner and his family working together. They are all so nice. This time I ordered Pozole and quesabirria. Both were delicious. I ate the soup for 2 days, the broth was so good and the meat was so tender. I definitely recommend this establishment. read more

OMG just trying their chorizo burrito.. comes with potatoes eggs and cheese. I added sour cream to mine and it's so good!! I promise!! And I'm very picky about my chorizo and eggs.Very flavorful and tasty. You have to get it! I had mine with the green salsa and it's the perfect combination. I live across the street from here and come here often and everything has been good so far. I recommend you try it!! read more

Wow! This is now our go-to spot! My husband brought home a carnitas burrito and chips for us to share and I was very pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. Not your standard, run-of-the-mill burrito. From the chewy tortilla to the tender carnitas, everything about it was so extra fresh and tasty! The chips! Omg! Loved them!! Thick and delicious. I'm not sure if they're flour or corn but they are very good. If this is how good the burrito is, I can hardly wait to try the nachos. read more

Got a breakfast burrito this morning and it was 80% refried beans, almost no potato or egg and the bits of bacon they did put in were not fully cooked, it felt stretchy and nearly raw. Worst breakfast burrito I've had, even if the bacon had been cooked. read more
