Cocina Caliente

Had the ranchero breakfast burrito, no meat and add potatoes. So delicious and honestly best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had in my life. Full of so much flavor! And there salsa, red and green both are delicious!! Great prices and fast service! Will be back.

Friendly staff, decent menu, wish the meat options were larger on the menu. The churros are very yummy. Tried all the tacos besides the zesty chicken one because they were out of that flavor.

Honestly hands down one of the best red sauce enchilada style burritos I’ve had in awhile! Gentlemen recommended the green sauce enchilada style and I can see why has just the right amount of spiciness!

I am not even being over dramatic when I say this is the BEST taco salad I have ever had in my life. I have now tried 3 separate dishes from this location and every single one was delicious. I am almost ashamed that I did not know what Al Pastor pork was until I came to this restaurant. 10/10 would recommend!

Awesome place for some Mexican dishes. I went for the $1 taco Tuesday deal, was not disappointed.

This is a great casual Mexican restaurant. The food is all homemade and consistent. Service is good. You get a lot of food for your dollar, value is excellent. I eat here every time I come to Ridgecrest. They have a three taco plate with rice and beans for $5. The enchiladas are very tasty and filling.

Great owners. They try to please everyone. The food rocks too. If you like it "HOT" try the house red sause.

I like this place, good food and taco Tuesday is awesome, $1 street tacos and I recommend the chicken and carne asada meat! Also very good burritos!

This is our go to spot when craving good Mexican food. The kids menu is perfect for our little ones. Super friendly staff but you have to speak up a bit due to the glass the protects the food. I would rather have my food behind that glass so I'm not complaining. Pricing is reasonable for the amount and quality you get.

As many Mexican restaurants use lard in thier beans, I called to verify and found out they actually have black beans available which do not contain any meat.

I booked it to the restaurant thinking about getting there vegetarian enchiladas and I was recommended the vegetarian burrito enchilada style. OMG it's amazing. I got it both the green and red sauces. If you like corn in your burrito, you will love it.

As a snack I got the mini quesadillas to try thier salsas with. They have 5 different salsas, all worth trying.

And lastly I got the churros (classic and carmel filled) which were okay. I loved the carmel filled one.

My family and I love to come here. This place serves some great Mexican food. It is more quick service style than restaurant, but I find their meals to be really authentic Mexican style. They have many great meat choices and various options for your liking. Cannot really go wrong here if you want some delicious Mexican food to go.

Quick, cheap and fast! Get their street tacos for $5 and that is plenty of food. We also opted for the bean and cheese burrito...it was only $2! You can call ahead and have it ready by the time you arrive, however, they are so quick you dont need to do that. The spicy salsa has great flavor and goes great with any of the dishes.

Best Mexican food place in town! I have tried every item on the menu including the secret items it is all great food. If your looking for a quick filling meal I highly recommend the cantina taco plate it comes with 3 street tacos rice and beans for only 6.99. If you want a bigger meal the Joe's quesadilla and the esparza fries are extremely filling and very tasty and don't forget to get salsa with your meal all of the sauces are made in house and are packed with flavor the hot green and hot red are HOT. They also have very good mild salsas. The staff is always so friendly every time I come in. The reasturant is very clean and offer's indoor and outdoor seating. I also like there new online ordering very simple. The prices are very affordable considering how expensive other Mexican restaurants in town are.

Went in hoping to see the owner, or other familiar faces, but didn't. The servers didn't understand what we wanted. Not sure who made the Jamaica, but it tasted watered down. It didn't have that rich taste its suppose to have. Looking forward to returning and seeing familiar friendly faces.

Good street tacos. Awesome job making a party order. I liked their Carnitas. The grilled chicken had a fantastic lime flavor. Beans and rice were on point.

The spicey guacamole salsa is delicious. Their spicey salsa is literal fire. A fabulous blend of garlic and chilies that lives up to the name "spicey."

Would place the order again. They also gave me the best quote for the order. You can't beat their prices for a large party order, believe me, I shopped around!

From the outside, this place looks like a fast food chain restaurant. Do not be fooled. The food is outstanding. Fresh ingredients and freshly made - the chips were hot and crispy, and the burrito, the salad (with beans, corn, vegetables, and too much more to remember), and the grilled shrimp were simply delicious. A Must Go if you find yourself in Ridgecrest.

This restaurant has excellent food made quickly! They have a $5 taco plate for their lunch special which is excellent. The staff is very friendly and helpful so I will recommend this establishment wholeheartedly.

Finding good real Mexican food in this town was more of a struggle than we expected. We finally got in to try this place and oh man. We finally found our Mexican restaurant!!! Everything is fresh and delicious, and the salsas are AMAZING.

Fresh, fast and delicious food. Always friendly service! Great daily specials, like bring a friend Monday where it's buy one get one 1/2 off. Try the Esparza burrito 😍

Clean, fast, fresh, and great prices for the great meals. Love that they have kid sizes as well. Wish we had one of these restaurants in Winchester California.
