Slow food service because because its all homemade. A very friendly warm atmosphere. Ripon Mick
Stopped by on way home from Kaiser. The bean dip, salsa andChips were warm, perfect start. I ordered transition breakfast I didn't Notice potatoes were fajita potatoes if you love bell peppers onions it's good, the bacon was crispy? Eggs good overall good breakfast the only complaint was the tortillas while home made (my husband Loved them)I prefer a more traditional corn Tortilla this was made with white masa and tasted a little like the masa for tamales, my husband had combination plate with red sauce for chicken enchilada, chicken taco and Chili relleno he loved it! Service was good, our waitress was friendly, courteous and prompt. The price was fair so overall would eat here again.
A very special shout out to 2 very kind and hospitable servers here who always take the time to talk to this weary traveler. Vianka and Larissey. I hope I spelled your names right. No matter which one of you is working I can count on kind service and a wonderful conversation about our days. Thanks to you both and also the entire staff that make this place run on a daily basis. This place is always it's consistent when it comes to their food. As you can see, I tend to order the same thing every time. And it is just as good as the first time i've been there. Closest thing to a home cook meal That I can find near a truck stop on the 99. Always look forward to my reset when I'm in Ripon because I can come in and enjoy a nice meal and a drink. Again thank you to the staff and I will see you soon
a must try for delicious mexican food in the central valley! I've visited several times and we are typically seated quickly. there is a full bar/bar seating as well as the general dining area + patio seating. The staff is kind and service is quick. They offer complimentary chips, whipped refried beans and cabbage. The chips are warm and fresh! We ordered the chicken fajitas and taquitos. Everything was amazing highly recommend
I have to come here whenever I visit Ripon, because it's just that good! The enchilada is my go-to order--the right amount of cheese and sauce. The veggies for the lettuce and guac are always fresh. The tamale and taquitos were aight, but could try something else next time. Both were a little dry. My friend and her parents all ordered the tostadas. Overall, love coming to this place because there is something for everybody. The place was packed! We got our stuff to go so we can enjoy at home. The service was friendly and fast!
