La Rana Mexican Restaurant

Husband and I had a meh experience. That's the second taco spot in south OC we've tried that left us missing our old spots in San Diego. I got the Cali burrito - usually the ones I have just have carne, potato, guac, and pico de gallo. This one also included rice and beans, resulting in an overstuffed burrito...the steak flavor was decent, but I could have done without the rice and beans. Husband got the carne asada nachos, but wasn't expecting the kind of queso sauce that you would get on nachos in a movie theater.Maybe we chose the wrong dishes. We'll try the tacos next time before giving up.

Love that they have menudo every day, not just on the weekends as most places do. Monster burritos are fantastic. Service is super friendly. Restaurant space is nicely decorated but very limited in size. 6-7 tables, depending on whether there is a big party that has dragged tables together to make a larger table. A couple tables outside but it's a very narrow walkway facing a parking lot. Food is great. Better menudo than El Molina del Oro which was my previous go-to for cow guts soup.

Family favorite spot! Fam comes here every week. Jorge is such a sweetheart and a joy. You can dine in or order take out. They have beer, jugos and refrescas on the menu. They bring out chips with beans and green salsa on top to start. We ordered the carne asada plate, cheese enchiladas, and crispy tacos. They have housemade corn or flour tortillas. Happy hour is before 6pm. They serve cold beer in mugs and also have jamaica tea. Delicious and authentic cuisine. Festively decorated interior and warm smiles. Great spot to enjoy with family or friends!

While my husband was next door at the Urgent Care, I needed to eat since we rushed out of the house before eating dinner. The menu is huge! They have all sorts of Mexican dishes. I was in the mood for a burrito at that time. I ordered the shredded beef burrito that comes stuffed with beans, rice, and pico de gallo. I was talked into getting it 'wet' but I asked for the hot sauce on the side. My burrito took a few minutes to be ready. I asked for it to go but also asked for a plate, along with a knife and fork. I decided to eat half of it at the restaurant and save the rest for my husband. The burrito hit the spot and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The place is small with some tables inside but they had some tables outside as well. Service was friendly and quick. I'll have to stop by again for more of their menu when I have a craving for Mexican food.

Good variety of authentic Mexican food. Love the barbacoa and consume, pozole, chiles rellenos, sopes, aguas frescas, tortas, machaca. Everything on the menu, actually!

First, obvi, the service! Jorge was so welcoming, sweet and excited to share the menu. Got a Huarache with carne asada and it was incredible. The Guac is why I'll be back tho. Seriously THE BEST I've ever had. So many items on the menu I've never seen before in n a Mexican restaurant . You gotta try this store out. So worth it!

Was my first time here and the restaurant its self was clean and the people were nice. We ordered asada, Birria and pastor tacos and they all were good but really greasy. They had no agua and it was around 3 so I would recommend to having more made because I know it's my family's favorite and I know most people's too. Over all good place. Would go back.

Baking Christmas cookies makes you hungry!I submitted an online order through Yelp for takeout. My order consisted of potato taquitos, carnitas and lengua tacos, and shredded beef taquitos. We all loved what we ate.My order was the potato tacos. It comes with three rolled tacos with a mix of guacamole, tomatoes, lettuce, and onion, plus COTIJA cheese. Thank you for making ybis right La Rana! Sometimes rolled tacos are made with melty cheese like "Mexican cheese" that you can find already shredded in the grocery store. Those are good enough, but using real Mexican cheese like cotija is what got me serious with these rolled potato tacos. (I make Mexican food at home with my Mexican partner allll the time.) The red and green salsa/hot sauce was also good. I enjoyed the taquitos with the red but the green still had a pretty good heat in spice level.The order was packed and ready to go for me when I arrived. Salsas were all packed with a pair of utensils and napkins. The food was packed in Styrofoam containers. Easy peasy and quick service for me to eat my dinner in between cookies in the oven!

Ok this is the real deal small place Friendly service Food is really goodCold beer Thank UMargaritas for my ladyI be back

We ordered for take out. Two ordersOf chicken enchiladas, chicken burrito, 2 orders of cheese enchiladas. The chicken was so dry it was almost powder. Horrible. Asked for red sauce because I was told it was mild so one red sauce was mild the other dish was so spicy could not even eat it. Chicken enchiladas had absolutely nothing in the taco shell but dry chicken. Barely any cheese on top. Not recommending them. What a waste of money. Very disappointing.
