Ramona’s Mexican Food

HORRIBLE. Stale chips for the nachos. Weird vibe because there is so much space. Employees making change errors because on the phone. Dropped food on floor and picked it up and put it in the fridge. Don’t waste your money. Del Taco is right next door :)

The girl at the register is too busy texting people on her phone than to take my order… Pretty disappointed… I’ve waited a long time to come here and have these… Never again

I really loved this place for their green chicken wet burrito but today 01÷15÷16 at 1130am i experienced something gross, as i was half way eating my burrito and noticed that a peice of a latex glove was in the burrito, i showed the girl at the cashier and she apologized and didn’t offer to make me something new or return my money. Not happy.

Not good at all. Walking into this spot I should’ve known that I should’ve walked out. The restaurant itself seemed odd by its appearance of cleanliness which really was because of its distinct emptiness. As I walked up to the cashier she greeted me promptly as a group of her fellow coworker’s engaged in a personal conversation. Glancing over the menu it was brought to my attention that they were out of chicken but that I could order anything else. So I opted for a bean and cheese burrito made Ramona style.
I’ve never tasted a $ 8 burrito that tasted like this. Literally this thing seemed to be wrapped in an old flour tortilla, dolloped with cold beans and had some lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and bits of cheese.
Would I recommend? Never.

Why or why did I not check Unilocal reviews before I walked into this dump!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, behold the only Mexican restaurant that doesn’t know who to make a cheese enchilada! Barely any cheese in it and the tortilla was SO TOUGH I could not cut it with a fork and knife! Don’t they know you have to marinade the tortilla to soften it first?
Ladies and gentlemen, behold the only Mexican restaurant that doesn’t give you chips included with your meal.
Ladies and gentlemen, behold the only Mexican restaurant that doesn’t have combinations. That’s right – the only «plates» in that vein are two enchilada platters or two tacos. So if you want to do 1 enchilada, 1 taco etc. It’s all a la carte! So I paid $ 13.99 to create a combo plate for what would have cost half that otherwise.
Nothing was edible. Staff was slow and not friendly. At Noon lunch rush, the place was pretty much empty. Now I know why.
I don’t know who «Ramona’ is, but I bet she’s rolling over in her grave.

I came here because I wanted a break from a fast food restaurant, and this was within walking distance from where I was getting my car washed. I got a bean & cheese burrito where the tortilla fell apart almost immediately. The salsa for the chips and burrito were bland lacking any flavor. Nearly felt like a water paste (which I don’t think exists). Chips are nothing special, especially because they’re prepackaged. But as a fellow customer who was sitting next to me put it, «well that hit the spot.» If I come back again, I’ll have to ask for perhaps a signature meal to give them a real chance to impress me.
Food is decent, fairly priced, it’s clean, and they have a friendly staff.
Here’s to hoping next time (if it ever comes) that I can get a meal that not only hits the spot, but my taste buds as well.

I am so surprised at the negative reviews about this place!
My husband and I used to look forward to driving out towards the Torrance area just to eat at Ramona’s. I’ve tried many of their burritos and tacos, even tamales, but our favorite is the red Chile beef burritos. Man those burritos are amazing.
Fast forward to a random trip to a hardware shop near Ontario Mills where out of the corner of my eye, I saw the Ramona’s sign. Could it be??! Was there really a Ramona’s just 20 minutes from home?
Sure shit enough, it was the same ol’ Ramona’s that we loved in Torrance, though this particular one was larger and much cleaner. We didn’t deviate from our usual red Chile beef burritos, mine with cheese and rice, his plus beans.
These burritos were much larger than the ones we used to get. We bit into that piping hot burrito and it was the exact same red deliciousness we had known for years.
Please try their red burritos! They’ll win you over too.

NOt a fan. While the service was nice and pretty fast, the food was crappy.
This is a newer location, clean and well kept, limited menu, nothing we tried was great at all.
No salsa bar or much of anything to spruce the food up with or add some flavor.
Prices are high for quality and portion size, pass next time.

It was so so bad. I will not be back and am not sure why I stayed for the first meal after some very obvious dealbreakers.
I’m not going to lie, the pretty Mexican lady on the sign drew me in. After that, it was all downhill.
Upon looking at the menu, I realized I may have chosen the wrong place since it seemed that the entire thing consisted of chicken, beef, and cheese burritos, enchiladas, and tacos. Not only was there not variety, the menu items simply didn’t sound appetizing (no sauce, cheese, spices).
We really hit a roadblock when I asked the cashier if they had any vegetarian options. She replied with «not really,» since their beans and rice are cooked with lardon,
I ended up ordering and eating a cheese quesdilla with some chips + guacmole «sauce» (it was gross, and nothing like guacmole).

I’m giving this place two stars because the place is pretty decent looking and not too overly priced.
It was my first time coming here and I really didn’t know what to get. I love bean and cheese burritos with extra cheese. I should have asked about their beans. they’re not completely smashed. and they’re reddish in color, which tells me that they’re canned. I could be wrong but that’s how they looked and tasted to me. Also, their tortillas are dry and have that flour coating on them. not a fan of these kind. I did however, Ike that they have real orange bang unlike the kind they have at ampm. So that was a plus. But the good wasn’t worth coming back here again. So I’ll pass.

Was in the area and decided to stop her for lunch big mistake. The woman that takes your order and collects the money is just plain rude she acts like she’s bothered by my even being there. Excuse me it’s called a job! Get some customer service skills or manners. I ordered nachos and asked her what kind of beef they had. She wasn’t even listening to me she added ground beef. I had to tell her I didn’t order ground beef I was asking you what kind of beef I could get on the nachos. I finally just ordered the nachos with just cheese. Now I know this place is Americanized Mexican food but even then it was barely ok
The ground beef taco I tried was gross, one of my daughters had a red beef burrito and that was decent. I have to say I would have to be starving to ever go to this place again.

My parents always rave about Ramona’s beef and potato burritos, so we finally got the chance to try this famous burrito when we were in Ontario last weekend. Apparently there are multiple Ramona’s locations so it was the first visit to this one next to Ontario Mills.
The menu is very simple. There is plenty of seating and there’s plenty of room for a long line if it gets very busy. The staff was very accommodating as well. I decided on getting the picadillo burrito — ground beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and hot sauce. It was pretty loaded, and I definitely couldn’t finish it. but I think it was definitely a good deal for $ 6.25. I also tried a bite of the beef and potato burrito, which was also delicious. My parents did say it tastes even better when you add cheese to it.
I don’t know if I would make this a pitstop whenever I’m in SoCal but I definitely think it’s very affordable and great for a quick meal if you don’t want to get fast food!

The taquito plate is the best! I love it! Their chicken in red chili sauce is delicious! It could be a tad bit spicier, but its still delicious. I usually always get the taquito and the hubby gets a burrito. Quick service, the ladies inside are nice. You can sample the meat if you’re not sure which one you want. I just wish it was in a better location.
