Ranchos Cocina

Took my brother out for his birthday and he wanted vegan options. Came across Ranchos Cocina and 10/10, highly recommend! We order the special nachos with shiitake mushrooms, vegan chilaquiles with tofu scramble, and chicken and mole poblano. Everything was delicious. We had kombucha and coffee, the coffee was aromatic and satisfying. Will be revisiting Ranchos Cocina soon!***apologies for no photos of food, too busy eating.

Like many places in North Park I haven't visited for a long time. Happy to go in there today as I was delightfully surprised that the food was very good. The prices although very high for an entree $17. If there had of been more refried beans and rice it would have been much better for the price. But, there wasn't so I'm only giving four stars.There were only a few tables in there with guests it was quiet except for the music was a bit loud. It is also very dark in there I wouldn't call it a romantic place at all. Very casual and the AC was on so comfortable for today.My server was very helpful explaining what I wanted as it is a very large menu.She was also very attentive and my food came quickly.The chips had a nice homemade flavor with some herb not sure what it was but, very good. I didn't eat the salsa was too spicy for me.I ordered the chili relleno, chicken enchilada, rice and beans.Usually I order black beans but I thought I'd get out of my box today LOL.I ordered a Mexican Coke that's what they have always taste good.The only con that I really have is that I don't like drinking out of small and I mean small mason jars.The food was really good and I left a custom $2 tip.Paying 15% which turned out to be $3.59, just wasn't going to happen.If you want to eat some authentic Mexican food I would recommend this place as for some reason San Diego just doesn't have that many it's always Gourmet or something else. Lol

Great place for vegan options, but the menu is not exclusively that, so it caters well to any group. We went for a meal to see if it would appeal for catering for an upcoming party, and we loved it. We worked with Mundo for the order, and he was very helpful throughout the process, including for pickup, drop-off, and checking in on us in between. Ours was not a Cinco de Mayo party, but it was on the same date, so it was especially appreciated that Mundo worked with us at such a busy time for the restaurant.Our guests loved the food, and we look forward to returning to the restaurant for future meals.

It was a cute little restaurant. There is seating inside and outside. We were seated right away. They give you complimentary chips and salsa. Salsa was very good. I had the beef tostada bowl and wish I would've said no refried beans because I felt like there were more beans than meat. My friend got the chicken rolled tacos and she said the chicken was seasoned pretty good.

This is one of the TOP Mexican restaurants in San Diego! Try the California Burrito with their veggie option...best burrito I've ever had! And their fish tacos are delicious! The owner is a huge Frida Kahlo fan so enjoy all the Frida Kahlo's on the walls!

I wouldn't say I've had much luck with finding a really good mexican food spot in San diego. I have come across very few but it's been a minute since I wanted to find a new spot to try. I'm skeptical(internally laughing). But Stumbled across this gem. Place is clean. Servers were really polite and attentive. Chips and salsa were so good. All home made style. Surprisingly the salsa was really good and not to spicy. Very mild. I loved it. But don't be mistaken they had other salsa that was spicy. I had their tostada. Very good. The tostada was delicious and so was everything in it. Prices arent to bad. And it's in a good location. I'll have to come back and try some of their other food items!

With the warm greeting at entrance, attentive service, refreshing drinks, priming chips & salsa, and delicious food, we were pleasantly surprised with our experience here. We ordered the Enchiladas & Tamales combination and the Salmon Burrito. Both dishes were perfect in presentation, perfectly cooked, and wonderfully seasoned (not too much and not too little).

I want to start off by saying that this a cute little place with a cozy ambiance. The food was good/decent. I got the chilaquiles rojos. The sauce was good, however it was missing something and could be more flavorful. The prices are extremely good though and they also provide free chips and salsa so I don't have any complaints.The service was also slow as no one came to take our order for 15 mins after we sat down.

Orders the mole enchiladas but wasn't expecting the rice to basically be peas and carrots, with a small amount of brown rice. Out of all options- why wouldn't they pair with with actually Spanish rice and refined beans- like the rest of their combination plates.I wouldn't recommend this plate-at all. I ended up not even eating the rest- and tossed it. I'll think twice before ordered form here again- options not available to modify if I would have known- I would have just picked a different place.

Food was wonderful, but the mango habanero and coconut mint sauces were absolutely delightful! Food came quickly and chips were unlike any I've had before. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal!
