Rancheritas Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Lancaster, California

This was a perfect authentic Mexican spot in Lancaster. It's tucked away within the plaza but the food is excellent. I had two tacos, one with an amazing flavored carnitas that they chopped up in front of us, added onions and cilantro, served with a nice green salsa or a hot red salsa. The portions are big to fill the large size hand made tortillas. They have many other Mexican favorites, you can also order tortillas or masa. The most impressive part is the high quality of the meat, you can also buy it by the pound or setup an in home catering event. The staff was extremely friendly and the interior was clean. read more

Hospitality at this spot mad us feel like home. Service was timely and the employees even made suggestions. When entering, the restaurant had 5-6 booths to eat. Very clean and smells just like your mom's been cooking Mexican food all day. We ordered menudo con pata, hand made tortillas, carnitas plate (carnitas are to die for!!!) French fries for the little one. Before we left, we ordered more carnitas to take home! We will be back! read more

Best Michoacán style carnitas in AV. The mixtape carnitas are amazing. Friendly family service.

Asada fries are fire here. I had the mulitas and will not order that again. But the carnitas fries and the asada fries is a must. The fries stay crispy and the meat is juicy. The portions of the asada fries are a good amount for what you pay. I will always go here whenever we crave asada fries for sure read more

I discovered Rancheritas Mexican Grill a few years ago, and I've been a loyal customer ever since. Their Carnitas are hands down the best in town--if you're a fan of perfectly cooked, flavorful pork, you have to try them mixed for the full experience. What really sets this place apart is the hand-made tortillas, which bring that authentic, homemade touch to every meal. Plus, knowing that the owner is one of the cooks means there's an extra level of care and pride put into every dish, and you can taste the difference. While there's no table service--it's a casual walk-in, order-at-the-counter kind of place--don't let that fool you. The food more than makes up for the simple setup. Once your order is ready, they'll call your name, and you can dive into some of the best Mexican food around. If you appreciate quality, authenticity, and a personal touch in your food, Rancheritas is a spot you'll want to keep coming back to! read more

Coming from Long Beach I thought the food was good but kind of overpriced. I got the all meat burrito and my girlfriend got the carnitas plate, it was about $48 with tip, pretty expensive imo. I thought the service was really good though, the person who took my order was kind and patient but there was one thing that stood out. While we were eating, my eyes became really irritated but I thought that was due to my meal or something, but my girlfriend said her eyes were hurting too. We believe that because we sat close to the cooking station, the smell of onions was really close which was irritating us throughout the whole meal. I probably wouldn't go back but it was nice to try. read more

Burrito de asada 10/10. parking for a tractor trailer available in the back. I'm definitely passing by again..

One of the mothers in my twins preschool class who is Mexican recommended Rancheritas Mexican Grill. She said she loves their birria! I've come here twice and this is my new place to go for Mexican! The owners are friendly and the food is delicious! They are very understanding to any special requests!! Their birria and carnitas is great! Their queso birria tacos with the consumme is delicious as well as they're chile rellenos! I had a breakfast burrito with chorizo, eggs and refried beans and it was delicious!! Homemade tortillas are great and they give you a nice amount of meat. Great beans and rice is a staple for Mexican food along with great salsa! Their food is always fresh and look at their cilantro and onion... they chop it fresh every morning! Definitely will keep coming back and I highly recommend them!! read more

Quesabirria tacos and burritos were amazing. Aguas frescas were delicious & service was excellent.

Their food is very dry and the amount is too much. The price is ridiculous. they let you think that it's a certain type of food but when you asked to try it, oh it's just not good. read more

I was hungry and craving tacos, so I Yelped tacos and saw the great reviews for this restaurant. I was not disappointed. I ordered a birria taco and 2 queso tacos, and they were so delicious! I also ordered the cucumber drink, which was refreshing on this hot day. I will definitely return when I need my taco fix. Lizbeth took my phone order and she was the nicest and sweetest in-person: very genuine and kind. Thank you again! read more

Tried this place for the first time, this passed Friday. We tried the Birria tacos (Homemade tortillas) Carne Asada burrito and enchiladas. We loved everything. I'm a certified foodie. I want flavor in everything. The meats in each item alone are delicious. Some places neglect the flavor in their rice and beans, not this place. Presentation, flavor, and friendly service. We definitely be visiting again sooner that later. It's tucked away in Valley Central but so worth the find. Almost forgot about the Agua Fresca, cucumber read more

Food is amazing, best tacos in town. Never disappointed when hungry! The fresh juices also hit the spot. Must try..

Came to this Mexican place to have some quesadillas with birria and a taco of carnitas man I enjoyed every single bite strongly recommended to stop by hand made tortillas read more

O........M........G!!!! Wow! I went here for the first time, on Saturday, 3/8/25, after looking online for a Mexican eatery that was highly rated and had a 4-5 star rating AND recent good reviews on YELP. I usually don't go to any Mexican eateries because I've just grown tired of eating tacos/burritos/rice & beans/etc here in CA, since it seems that's all anyone ever eats around here. That's why BBQ places are rare and usually don't stay in business for very long in CA. Way too much competition with the over 3,750+ Mexican eateries just in Southern CA alone! Too many taco places competing against each other. No kidding. Anyway, I like to try all different kinds of foods, instead of eating tacos/burritos/rice & beans every day/week/month. So I had a craving for something spicy and hot for lunch, like maybe an order of Molcajete, so I decided to go to Rancheritas after reading their recent reviews and looking at the pictures of their food. Boy was I glad I did! As soon as I walking into the place, I was immediately greeted by the girl and 2 guys (owners?) working behind the counter. I stared at the menu board for too long, and one of the guys noticed and asked me if it was my first time there, I said it was my first time there and that I kinda didn't know what to order, but I did say that the pictures of their food that I saw on YELP looked good, and so I asked them about the queso birria tacos. Long story short, I ended up trying a couple of their queso birria tacos and a couple of their taco grandes with pork carnitas for the meat. OMG! All I can say is that all their food was FULL of flavors!!!! Not bland like most all of the food from other places. And I told them so. Those tacos were packed full of meat. While I was eating the queso birria tacos, I asked them if they had menudo, since I didn't notice it or see it on the menu board. I was surprised when one of the guys said that they do have menudo, and they serve it every day! :-) When I heard him say that they serve it every day, well I just had to try a bowl of their menudo before I left. So I ordered a bowl of their menudo and I was surprised again. There were BIG pieces of tripe in it, which I like more than the hominy. Great flavor too. So I took my time savoring each piece of tripe, trying to make it last a while, until there was no more. My wife came home from an out-of-town trip and I told her how good all the food was at Rancheritas and told here that I'll have to take here there for lunch next weekend. On my way out, I thanked the guys and gal for the excellent food, told them again how good it all tasted, and told them that I'd be giving them a good review on YELP. So if you want to have some excellent Mexican food that tastes way better and flavorful than all the other usual bland tasting tacos and burritos that you get at most all the other places in CA, then definitely go to RANCHERITAS!!! You'll be glad you did. :-). Great service, food came out fast, the place was clean, and all the food is excellent! read more

You can't go wrong with this little pop and mom restaurant. No matter what you order on the menu you will never be disappointed. The food is fantastic the closes I get to my home town food .

I had been wanting to try this place, based on the reviews and I pass by this area a lot. I ordered a regular burrito ($9.50), shrimp ceviche ($4.99), and a large horchata ($3.50). The shrimp ceviche lacked citrus, and something just didn't taste right. It tasted and looked old. The burrito, when I would bring it close to take a bite, all I could smell and taste was Burnt. After another bite, I saw the tortilla was burnt in many places. That's all I could taste. I just couldn't eat it. I don't know if it was the burnt tortilla, or the meat, rice & beans, but none of that burrito tasted right. The horchata was just ok. Very disappointed with everything. I couldn't eat it. I'm very concerned about where all the five star reviews are coming from. Looking for good Mexican food? Go to Tortilla Grill on W. Ave L & 30th. read more

I am working in the area and my partner and I decided we wanted Mexican food. I ordered my usual Carne Asada plate and my friend ordered a taco plate. To food was prepared quickly and was delicious without anything being added (salsas or hot sauce). The provided salsa and that just made the food better. The staff were all wearing masks and gloves. They limited the number of people inside ordering and had outside dining available. While there was only 4 tables to eat outside, I understand they are doing their best. read more
