Mi Ranchito Taqueria — Restaurant in Corona

Discovered this place on accident. Let's move into it. Every time I've been here it's been very busy. Which is a great sign. I've always been greeted immediately. Front staff has always been helpful. Let's move onto the food.

Enchiladas. Your basic quick enchiladas. However. They're very tasty. And a large amount of food with the combo. You'll be satisfied with the food portions here for sure.

Chicken flautas. OMG so good! Probably some of the best flautas l've ever had no joke. This is what I come back here for. And add some guac, you'll love it!

Hard shell chicken tacos. Don't really see tacos like this often. They're very tasty. I usually put their pico de gallo on it for maximum taste. I'd say their chicken is the best here. Basically anything you order with their chicken is going to be legit.

So why 4 stars instead of 5? There's two front staff. One girl has an attitude sometimes and the salsa bar is not totally cleaned all the time.

Decor: average but clean. Staff/service: overall good. Food: average mostly. However portion sizes are big. And the food is very fresh. You'll enjoy it! Bathrooms: N/A never used them.

Give this place a try. You won't be...

Alright, fellow taco hunters—file this one under “pleasant surprises.”

I dropped into this unassuming taco shop in Corona yesterday and walked out full, happy, and just a little emotionally confused. Why? Because for a few glorious bites, I thought I was back at Tito’s Tacos. Seriously.

Now let’s be clear—these tacos aren’t exactly Tito’s. There’s no cold cheese avalanche or crisp lettuce bed riding shotgun. But the shell? Crispy, golden, nostalgic perfection. The meat? Seasoned just right, no weird fillers or mystery textures. I’m not saying it is Tito’s… but I am saying it’s the closest thing I’ve found without driving to Culver City.

⚠️ Salsa Warning ⚠️ This is important: the salsa that looks like Tito’s salsa? IT IS A TRAP. 🔥 One big mouthful and my soul briefly left my body. It’s tasty, don’t get me wrong—but it comes in hot like it’s got something to prove. Respect the red. Sample small.

I also had a burrito, and yeah—it slapped. No notes.

If you’re craving that crispy taco nostalgia and want to avoid the 91-to-the-405 pain, this...

UPDATE: Went back this last Tuesday and they have different cashiers now. They were so polite and attentive! They were also busy at work cleaning and refilling on down time, a big change for the better & food was delicious!

7 months ago: Most of the time the food is really good (absolute best guacamole I have ever tasted!), but super overpriced and very poor customer service /rude cashiers. You really have to make an effort to get their attention if you need something (they are on their phone or socializing with the cooks in the back) and even if it’s super slow, most of the time they are too lazy to bring your food to the table. You get free chips with your order but only if you ask. It gets really busy on Taco Tuesdays and sometimes you can smell the strong chemicals from the nail salon next door when you’re trying to eat, so carry-out might be a...
