Don Ramon’s

I love this place. From the moment you enter it is always a great experience. The waiting area is comfortable and the staff friendly. Even the bathrooms are really nice!The food is outstanding! I love their quesadillas, tacos, boiled beans, and soups. I also love the bean dip they serve with chips before the meal.When we bring my toddler, everyone makes her feel like a million bucks.Can't wait to go back again soon!

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is not the place.If you're looking for Americanized Mexican food, this is still NOT your place.I cannot express how disappointed I was with the quality of food at Don Ramon's.I ordered a 3-item combo: * Two red enchiladas: The red sauce was watery, bland, and had no flavor. * One green enchilada: The chicken inside had a rubbery texture and zero flavor. The sauce was equally terrible. * The rice was cold, watery, and tasted like it had been microwaved. * The serving of beans was tiny, with a pile of cheese slapped on top to try and cover it up.The only redeeming thing about this place was the bean dip they served with the chips before the meal--it was delicious.We also ordered a side of albondigas soup, which was awful. It came with two sad meatballs, two carrots, and what was basically hot, flavorless water. After we complained, they apologized and brought us tortilla soup as an alternative, but somehow, it was even worse.We couldn't finish our food, and they still got us for $40. I will never return.The original Don Ramon's location was much better years ago, but this spot is a complete disappointment.You're better off going to Morena's down the street or Mario's.

I came with my two friends and the food was decent. My friend got the mole enchiladas, her plate was amazing. The mole was flavorful had a slight kick, it was delicious. My other friend ordered the super quesadilla. We were warned by our server that the super quesadilla is not in fact a quesadilla but more like a chimichanga as it is rolled up and deep fried. We did read the menu so we were expecting that but apparently people skip over that part in the description of the meal. The server was great for pointing that out. I couldn't decide on what to order so I did what I normally do and ordered 2 things and I take the one I didn't like as much home for lunch the next day. I ordered the huachinango Hidalgo pescado with a side soup of tortilla soup and the sopa de chile verde con frijoles de la olla. The sopa was decent. I did like the soup more than the fish. I did ask the server if the soup base was more chile verde flavor or bean flavor and he said chile verde.... It was in fact more of a bean taste but nonetheless was the better dish. I ate it with sour cream and tortillas. The fish was good. There were so many veggies on top that I couldn't see the fish. I do like veggies but they 100% overpowered the fish to where I couldn't taste it as much. We ordered 3 cocktails in total: Mexican coffee, cinnamon pumpkin rumchata (seasonal), and the peach cocktail. My favorite was the peach cocktail with the rumchata cocktail being a close first tie (I'm impartial as I don't like hot drinks)... they don't offer expresso martini anymore but haven't updated/taken off the menu. The service was good and the restaurant was bustling with so many conversations and people that it was a good time. Very clean place and the decor was beautiful! I'm giving 3 stars as the food was just decent to me. I will try again and hopefully have something that stands out more with flavor like their mole enchiladas did.

My husband's friend and his son were visiting us so I asked him what they wanted for his first meal back in the States, he said, "Let's go for Mexican food." Now, Mexican cuisine isn't exactly my specialty, and the restaurants I've saved are mostly bar-type places that don't open until 5 p.m. We were in HB area so he checked on Yelp and chose Don Ramon's Mexican Restaurant. As soon as we walked in, we saw a sweet elderly lady chatting with customers. Before they left, one of them even blew her a kiss! The atmosphere felt so warm and welcoming.The restaurant's dining area is split into three sections, each with a different decor style. We were seated in the section behind the bar. If you have kids, they'll bring a sheet with a parrot for coloring and a pack of four crayons--but the coloring sheet is actually the kid's menu (we only realized that after we finished our meal ). For lunch, we ordered the following specials* #1 Super Deluxe Burrito* #2 Tacos De Carne Asada* #4 Marinated Chicken Tenders * A lemonade for kidThe staff were all super friendly, checking in to make sure we enjoyed the food and asking if we needed anything else. The chicken was a little bit too dry, other than that, everything was great. The portions were massive! We couldn't finish, so we ended up packing everything to go.And of course, I had to check out the restrooms! They were spotless, with an orchid placed on the sink and three paintings hanging outside. The overall decor was vibrant and distinctive. Mexican food may not be my favorite, but the overall dining experience was great! 7148 Edinger Ave, Huntington Beach, CA 92647

Our favorite Mexican spot. My daughter even chooses Don Ramones for her Birthday dinner. I recommend their shredded beef crunchy taco, shrimp Enchiladas, & shrimp salad. Oh and of course the skinny margarita. I cant leave out the chips, salsa, & bean dip. Can't get enough! We used to waking over to the sister restaurant, Cantamar. We were so sad when they closed, but still getting the great food we always have. I appreciate when food is consistent, and they definitely have been consistently tasty throughout the years.

I've been going to Don Ramon's for 30 years. Whenever i was in Huntington Beach i would grab lunch there. I just now tried the new location and it's really beautiful inside. I ordered takeout and the woman who helped me was very nice. My food was delicious. I had a cheese enchilada and a shredded beef taquito with rice and beans. I also had chips and bean dip and salsa. The bean dip and salsa is top tier, just so delicious. Their salsa is one of my favorite salsas ever, it's just so perfect. And i love that it's not chunky salsa, it's blended nice and smooth. The enchiladas are delicious, love the red sauce. The taquito was okay, not my favorite but it was fine. Their chips are really good too. I also love how they pack up their to-go orders. Beautiful restaurant with great food! And the owners are really lovely. Definitely recommend!

Love this place! Good, ole, gut fillin Mexican food!Clean interior and decor with great service.The salsa, bean dip, and chips are an appetite killer! They are so good that you have to fight from eating them and it's just chips!Good beans and rice are always nice but the food is just good ole fashioned Mexican food.A repeat, go-to, restaurant.

I was eating at the prior location back in the 90s. It was gone for years and now it is back open here. Send great food. The stand out is the free bean dip that they give you with the chips and salsa. A small but significant difference between it and all the other Mexican food places.We just eat the staples: tacos, enchiladas, chicken fajitas, and they all are executed well. We were in the main dining area, which is pretty loud. Very high ceilings and echoes. Service was good as always.

My first time coming here and I have to say I was missing out. First off they have amazing blended margaritas. The bartender Roman makes the drinks perfectly. We ordered some wet burritos and taquitos. Then got the churros for dessert. The food was delicious. The churros were really good and Ioved that the ice cream that came with it was frozen enough that it didn't melt right away like it does at most places.

First time eating here. Ordered the Don Ramon burrito and it was not a good choice. Service was not great and the food had no flavor. Will try another plate some other time and if that doesn't taste good that'll be it for us visiting this place. Also don't be greedy with the salsa Don Ramon!
