Ranch Enchilada Restaurant has been a staple in Yorba Linda for over 15 years, and after passing by it for so long, we finally decided to stop in for dinner. Came to Ranch Enchilada Restaurant on Friday night and seeing good traffic of patroons. The restaurant is bigger than it appears and has a bar. We were seated right away, and the wait staff were welcoming and available throughout the meal. I even got a refill on my chips! Yum. The complimentary chips and salsa were a great start, and the menu offers a great selection with plenty of options to choose from burritos to tacos and everything in between. We ordered a variety of dishes, and the portions were generous overall. The guacamole appetizer felt a bit pricey, but it was fresh and tasty. I especially enjoyed the cheese and chicken quesadillas -- flavorful, cheesy, and satisfying. read more

It was so delicious! Our whole table loved everything we got. Really yummy chips and salsa arrived right away. Service was really fast too!

Had my first visit, was not impressed but can't complain. For the price paid, my party of three felt well fed and overall satisfied. The restaurant could definitely use a face lift and an upgrade of excitement to their menu. You will feel safe eating here though, that may be what they are after. Service was decent and the owner stopped in while we were eating, but made no contact.. Our waiter was easy to read and he didn't seem happy serving the two tables he had during this lunch time visit.. According to the menu, there is a charge after two baskets of chips/salsa. Not the end of the world, but admittedly they go together well, so for larger parties you may run through baskets quickly. read more

We wanted to love this local place so much but unfortunately, we will likely not be back. This place hits on every level, the music the ambiance, the staff...all amazing. It's the food, it just didn't have any real flavor. It looks like it's going to taste amazing but after the first few bites, both my wife and I were totally bummed, no flavor. The entrées we had, chili Verde dinner plate, and the Carne Asada dinner plate. The food wasn't terrible, it just lacked basic Mexican food spices, this includes the rice and refried beans... very bland. My daughter didn't even want to finish her ground beef taco, she said it just tasted weird. Again, we truly wanted to love this local place but it's back to driving to old town Placentia for the real deal. Cheers read more

Food is delicious! Prices are good. Staff are prompt and friendly...can't go wrong with any of the food choices!

This was our first time at Ranch Enchilada and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. When we mentioned it was our first visit, the staff was so welcoming and gave us great recommendations on what to order. They even noticed we were on a date night and surprised us with a complimentary dessert -- such a sweet touch. We don't live in the area, so we may not get back often, but it was so nice to find a welcoming place that felt like home when we were far from it. If you're in Yorba Linda, don't pass this one up! read more

This is really authentic Mexican food. They never disappoint. Super delicious! I found them on DoorDash and now it's one of my favorite places. read more

First time visiting. Food was good. Had plenty to share and left overs. Margaritas were not great. Only a few grains of salt on the rim and lacked any real flavor. Service was perfunctory at best. It seemed like everyone was in on a secret race. They walked by, dropped the chips on the table. Walked by again, dropped the salsa on the table. I felt like I had to talk fast as they barely stopped to take the order. They dropped the dinner plate onto the table as they walked past. No warmth or welcoming feeling noted at all. The server walked by later asking if everything was OK. Didn't stop. Guess he was losing the race! Anyhow. Don't think we will return. read more

I ordered the Ranch Enchilada, which comes of your choice of 3 small items with rice and beans. I chose the pork tamale, taco, and cheese enchilada. Everything tasted delicious and the plate was more than enough for me; my favorite part was the cheese enchilada, all the ooey gooey cheese goodness!

Love this this place get the combo mix and the house salad. I remember when it was called the whole enchiiada.

Been going for years. Family run. Always consistent and customer oriented. We love all of their food!

Walking distance from our house so we decided to give this place another try. Went here once before but I didn't review it and I don't recall loving it but also not hating it. Walked here with the hubs on this sunny Thursday afternoon. Restaurant was quiet with a few customers, we were seated immediately. Has a very small family owned feel to it. The restaurant is located across the street from Veteran's Park and has a small parking lot that does tend to get busy if there is a baseball game going on. Restaurant is clean and plays lively mexican music with traditional decor in the dining area. There is outdoor seating that has some shade. Complimentary salsa and chips was good. Chips were fresh and crispy, you can tell it hasn't been sitting around long. I asked for the spicier salsa and that had a nice kick to it but since I liked the flavor to the original salsa, I just mixed the two since I prefer mine spicier. My hubs ordered the fish fillet which came with lots of good veggies. So good that my hubs was finished with the veggies before the fish, which is rare for him. The fish had a good amount of sauce drenched on top but it didn't over power the fish and it was still flaky and light. Very good. I ordered the mini beef tostada combo with chile rellano. The flavor was on point, the rellano was perfect! read more

Ranch Enchilada is a wonderful, family-owned business located in Valley View Ave off of Yorba Linda Blvd. The restaurant is always clean and inviting. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The menu has excellent variety and everything I've tried has been superb! For me, the chips and salsa make the difference between an okay Mexican restaurant and an outstanding one. Ranch Enchilada is definitely an outstanding place!! Give them a try. You'll be thrilled to discover this gem. And supporting a local business is definitely a plus! read more

Food delicious, servers amazing- great place to eat and relax!! Atmosphere wonderful- patio cool and refreshing!!

Ordered a wet Colorado burrito with extra sauce. After arriving, I could see extra sauce not being added. I asked if I could get extra sauce on the side? The waiter said no, it was added. I showed him burrito was dry at ends. He got upset and said sauce couldn't be added. His attitude was rude and abrasive. My prior experience at this place was great customer service and food experience. Not today by this Waiter I had never seen. read more

I have had this place bookmarked for quite some time and after hearing my wife say she was hungry for mexican food, I remembered this bookmark and offered up the suggestion since I knew they were open on Memorial Day. The place is located in a small center near the corner of Yorba Linda and Valley View in Yorba Linda across from the Dunkin Donuts and Fuji Grill. As we walked inside the place was empty except for one couple in a back table and no one was working the front. Just as I was about to seat myself a gentleman arose from the back and told us to take a seat wherever we liked. We quickly grabbed a booth near the door and he returned with menus and chips/salsa as well as took the drink order. After looking the menu over several times and changing my mind several times as well I was ready to order and went with the Ranch Enchilada combo (a choice of three items.off a list as well as rice and beans). I opted for the taco, cheese enchilada and chile relleno. I enjoyed each of the items and would order any of these again. The price point for this qas about what I expected and truly allowed me to try several options I was looking at simultaneously which is always nice. My wife went with the one enchilada suiza and seemed to enjoy her dish as well. The meal was ended with a couple complimentary cinnamon chips that accompanied the bill (my least favorite part of any meal lol). Overall I was quite pleased with the experience and will definitely return here again. My only gripe is never being offered or given a refill on either of our iced teas which seems to be a common occurence I run into these days and it really irks me. Quality food, satisfactory service and an average price point on most dishes. I hope to return again sometime soon. read more

My boyfriend and I were actually on our way to some Hawaiian food but we physically turned our car around after we smelled the food from the street! As soon as you walk in you're greeted with the Mexican decor & asked to be seated. We were seated immediately and was also served chips & salsa as well which was pretty cool. We ordered the beef enchilada plate & Chorizo con huevos w/ 2 drinks. The food was soo good. The beef in the enchilada was large cubes and very tender. The sauce & rice was also great as well. The chorizo con huevos was really great as well according to my boyfriend BTW, We had the best server! (He needs a raise) He was super attentive & quick. He was handing all 6-7 tables all at once & never skipped a beat. We'll be back again. read more

I'm surprised a restaurant with "Enchilada" in their name offered just okay enchiladas. The Ranch does offer a lot of flexibility when it comes to their menu and price but they should consider letting customers order the combo enchiladas with some type of protein add-on for an extra charge. We ordered two combo plates to try a variety of their offers but the only items we all like was strangely an afterthought order...pork tamales and Chile Relleno. The Chicken Mole Enchiladas sauce was outstanding but the chicken itself was overcooked and dry. The rice and beans are serviceable yet they forgot to a scoop of sour cream in each plate. A huge let down was the unappetizing beef taco due to the rubbery beef. Beyond the great price point and extensive menu, we were hoping to be wowed by Ranch's enchiladas but it was the supporting casts of tamales and chile relleno that sole the spotlight. read more
