Really good food and reasonable price great service! I wish the crispy tacos were a tad bit cheaper but I suppose I can bear the cost. They do taste good, particularly the beef ones. Usually I hit this place up after spending some time next door at the range. Friendly folks that run the business, and their salsa bar is pretty dang good. Always clean inside as well

This is my go to spot when I'm craving Mexican food. I can't speak to the quality of all their food, because I typically order the same things. I usually order their tacos or a burrito bowl and they are both tasty options. The restaurant can get somewhat busy during dinner time, but there is plenty of indoor seating and a few tables outside. They have a full menu with a large variety of food to choose from. There is a self-serve salsa bar, fountain drink dispenser and bottled drinks options. They also make fresh lemonade (highly recommended) and horchata. I typically call in my food order for pick-up. My food has always been ready within about 15 minutes. The staff who work the front are always a pleasure to deal with. The couple times I have eaten at the restaurant, it has the typical atmosphere you would expect. I would say the noise level is mostly quiet and average during peak times. There are several Mexican restaurant options to choose from in Ripon, but I find myself favoring this place the most.

Literally no meat

There's been a few times already where they mess up my order, today didn't even feel like going back to get a new. Both of my orders were wrong they didn't even put alot of meat in the burrito . Probably our last visit there.

Homemade tortilla

Taqueria Ripon has been a go to every week!! Not only are they super nice but their food is definitely authentic!!!

Super yummy tacos! Their salsa is delicious as well. I would eat her daily if it didn't make me feel so guilty to eat out all the time.

Someone told me this place was good so I had to try it . The outside and inside is very nice and…read moreclean. Inside it's not your typical taqueria it has a full bar it's also very spacious. The inside is very classy chic with a Mexican twist . I went during the week so it was happy hour . Their happy hour is pretty sweet ! It's from Monday - Friday 4-6 pm, Dine-In Only . They offered $10 drinks and also $10 appetizers. I ended up getting their tacos de papa from their happy hour, which is two tacos, but they are very fulfilling. They're very delicious and I did not see them in the regular menu so if you go during happy hour, it's definitely a must try. I also ordered Jesse's favorite, which is a Chile that looks like a chille relleno, but it's not instead of the egg it has a cream sauce on top and inside it has ground beef . My dad ordered the fajitas which they came with a side of cilantro rice and beans and also all the fixings like guacamole and stuff. Let me tell you the fajitas meal was huge. You could definitely share it with somebody else. I have to say their portions are very generous. For drinks they have beers margaritas my mother had a Chavela, which is beer with lime. I'm not a big tequila fan, but they do have a full bar so I just changed the dirty linen drink for Gin instead of tequila and it was very delicious . The service everyone was really nice and attentive. Overall, we had a great dinner my family and I we had a lot of food and a lot of good laughs. I would definitely come back. I have to say I love their tacos de Papa and for them being on happy hour it's a win-win.

There are no half stars so I had to really think about if this was three or four stars. The amount…read moreof food you get for the price pushed me over to the four star review. Friendly waitresses! Our food was on the table within five minutes or our order being placed and we dined on a Friday evening when all tables and the bar was full. I got wet chicken burrito half red and half green sauce with sour cream on the side. The green sauce was significantly better in my opinion. Green sauce was an easy four stars red was a two stars for me. Green has more spice to it! My date got the La Compuesta salad, he loved his. He ate the whole thing which I could not have done. I took half my burrito home. The beans they serve with chips are delicious as you see in others reviews too. The salsa however left a lot to be desired. Price, food portion and service are with highlighting!

And what I've learned in my years is that you should never expect good quality, authentic ethnic food if the main demographic in the restaurant are white people. That's not saying anything bad about white people, but most of us don't know any better! We think Taco Bell is Mexican food and panda express is Chinese food... I had high hopes because the bean dip and chips were really good, but we were terribly disappointed with the nachos... It's definitely not what we were expecting. The portion sizes are ridiculous... But that's kind of what I have come to expect in Americanized Mexican restaurants. Definitely will not be returning... We wish the food was better, because the service was pretty decent.

We have been coming here for years and I can't believe I haven't left a review. Just realized that…read more I really like "Claudia's Favorite" which is six spicy beef taquitos. Served with shredded cabbage, radishes and topped with some sour cream. My wife likes their Chicken Soup. Of course we get other dishes there but these 2 are our favorites.

Mexican cuisine is some of the best food in the world. People should be driving from miles around…read moreto come to Las Casuelas. It could be great but nobody seems to give a *%&! If you don't care, I don't care. I'm not eating here anymore. I'd rather make a bologna sandwich at home. Having eaten at Las Casuelas at least a dozen times, I've gotten the full experience. At best, the food here ever so slightly resembles something truly Mexican. The flavors are muted. The mole, for example, tastes like it was made out of box. It lacks complexity. The beans seem to just sit on hold and have the quality of leftovers. This place is more like Chevys than a real Mexican restaurant. If you want to drink beer, eat salsa, chips, and guacamole then this is the place for you. The service is friendly but that doesn't mean the service can be considered good. Frankly, I don't care if they throw the food at me as long as it tastes good! Just because you serve it with a smile doesn't make it taste any better. The focus seems to be on expediting the food out of the kitchen window instead of considering, "Would I serve this to my mother?" The restaurant doesn't appear to have consistent recipes nor the cooks who are trained and willing to live up to any standard. There is no attention to detail. For the most part, ingredients seem to be thrown together in a sloppy and haphazard way. I've always had to remind the servers to make sure my food comes out hot, please don't overcook the food, can you be sure to bring us some salsa??? This final time, I asked for Chicken Milanese which is essentially a pounded out piece of chicken breast. It's fried chicken. I asked them to please refrain from overcooking it. What arrived was a very, very thin peace a chicken that had been fried to a crisp. It was more of a cracker than poultry at that point. All of the juices and fat had been cooked right out of the chicken breast. Tasteless. If the same chicken had not been pounded down to the thickness of a fingernail, then it would have been harder to murder it in the deep fryer. I let the waiter know and he didn't care. My friend asked for soup without vegetables. Guess what? I spent my dinner watching him conduct soup-surgery, removing the vegetables like he was playing that game, Operation, and dripping broth all over the table in the process. People usually go to restaurants to have the cooks prepare the food for them and, unless you're at a Korean BBQ, most costumers expect the food to arrive at the table, "ready-to-eat". Alright, this is the nail in the coffin. They served me a tomato with the tomato pit in it. Do I need to prep the tomatoes now too? All of you can do better, you just don't.

She said it will coast extra for slices of limes or lemon. She said that Is their rule...it blew my mind That asked for limes for Mexican Food At charge . That was Greed and lacked any customer Satisfaction for 2 slices of lemon or lime. It is common practice that all Mexican Latino restaurants, taquerias, That serve Mexican food will Not charge for 2 slices of lemon or lime Cmon el Jardin you lost a good customer Over charging for lime slices...unbelievable It's the point of them just being greedy . Also on all Honesty el jardin manteca is priced way over the top for average Mexican food. !

On our visit they were only taking cash -luckily we had enough on us as the prices were very reasonable & portions huge! My hubby had the gigantic Chili relleno burrito with Carne asada & fresh veggies; i had the Huevos Mexicana with the very savory sauce on top that was not that spicy/perfect for my taste. I was pleasantly surprised with the homemade corn tortillas and homemade chips & salsa that came with our meals. Very clear that this place is frequented by a steady stream of regulars stopping by for take out, or sitting down for Menudo or Birria tacos. Highly recommend this place if you are hungry because of the large filling portions, quality & well prepared food at a small family run business. This location has several tables/indoor seating and was very clean/well maintained.

Overall I would for sure come back and try other things on their menu.
