Las Anitas Los Angeles Reviews
This place is quintessentially Los Angeles Mexican Food in a nutshell. It's historic, the food is all made from scratch and the flavors as a result are magnificent.
It is an absolutely beautiful place to visit--and the food is probably the best there is--a rich history (almost 100 years) that is very much evidence of the beauty and majesty that is Los Angeles in the heart of Olivera Street.
El Rancho Grande, October 31, 2024, On 🎃Hollween Day👻 me & my family had came here to enjoy the best "Taquitos & 🥑 Guacamole Sauce" around here in (Olvera Street) is a true family tradition for years & their 🌮 Tacos & Enchilada's was just as good plus the beans & rice & salad you get with the combos or just as side orders. The Horchata & Jamaica was so delicious & tasty 😋 plus don't forget the 🌶️ chile salsa red or green. "Thank You" to your family for the years of great Spanish food & keeping the tradition alive. Viva! Marie Cajero & her family & descendants. 🇲🇽 🎉🎊 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'s Great Job! 😎👍
El Rancho Grande is a hidden gem that brings the flavors of Mexico to Los Angeles in the most authentic and delightful way possible. Located in [insert address], this restaurant has quickly become one of my favorite go-to spots for Mexican cuisine. The moment you step inside El Rancho Grande, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The rustic decor, colorful artwork, and traditional music create an ambiance that immediately transports you to Mexico. It's the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The menu at El Rancho Grande is a true celebration of Mexican culinary traditions. From classic dishes like enchiladas and tacos to more unique specialties, they offer a wide variety of options that cater to every palate. The flavors are rich, vibrant, and incredibly satisfying. Every bite is a taste of Mexico's finest ingredients and culinary techniques. One of the standout dishes at El Rancho Grande is their mouthwatering carne asada. The meat is tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, making it an absolute treat for the taste buds. Paired with their homemade salsas and freshly made tortillas, it's a true delight that keeps me coming back for more.
It’s looks pretty longtime of his owner still same person ever since my first came here a El Rancho Grande restaurant on Olivera Street in Spring of 1993s, He’s been here almost over than years because of his family business was here, ( I Dunno 🤷♂️, I thinks possible dat early in 1930s) Right here have a too small space with eight tables. Depending how popular gets nearly crowded on weekends and less crowds of the weeks. I liked here because it’s inexpensive worthy food really deliciously it! Yum! 😋
This place has a soft spot in my heart, been coming since I was a child and my parents came to eat here since the 70's. Nacho (the tall gentleman) is always friendly, takes a quick order, and preps your food. You're here for an affordable, genuine home style meal, taquitos in particular. Prices have closely crept up over the years but you can get a meal for around $12 (including small drink). I usually order a #4 - 2 taquitos 1 cheese enchilada, beans with cheese and iceberg salad with tomatoes, and add an extra order of taquitos just to make my trip with it. It's a small dine-in with quick turnover on the tables. All meals are made as soon as you order so everything is fresh. My only complaint is that the sauces are not spicy, very mild, BUT they have good flavor. Tacos, bean and cheese burritos, enchiladas, sopes, quesadillas, and tostadas. Make sure to wash it all down with an horchata or Jamaica. Be warned, parking is a pain in the general area. There's a small parking lot directly behind Rancho Grande but they charge by time if you just want to make a quick stop (and I mean quick) to avoid the $15+ flat fee parking lots around.
Absolutely wonderful. I was walking around while waiting for a connecting train, and found this gem. I felt so welcomed! They made me a delicious breakfast and horchata, and my soul was full ☺️🌶️
I loved the food and especially their service. They were on top of it. Checking to see if everything was good.

Went with our friends to Olivera Street for taquitos during a 10 hour layover at LAX. Exceptional service, excellent taquitos and the best guacamole salsa ever! My friend has been going here for over 70 years. Started as a kid… Met the family who owns it… friendly! The chef has known my friend all these years! A great time and lasting memories!
Very tasty food, friendly staff, versatile atmosphere
I’ve enjoyed dining at El Rancho Grande several times, especially for their tasty tacos and classic Mexican favorites. The ingredients are fresh, and the portions are quite hearty. It’s a great place for a relaxed, satisfying meal.
My wife and I have enjoyed the “Numero tres” and multiple “dos de dos” for over 40 years. The family are always kind and respectful and the Taquitos are the bomb. My wife’s grandmother use to take her boys (my father in law) back in the 1940’s. Now my children love to go and hopefully soon they’ll bring their children to continue in the enjoyment of “Una numero tres por favor!” Thank you El Rancho Grande for being such a wonderful memory for our families. God bless you with many more memories to come.

One of my favorite places in Los Angeles. Best taquitos with a great avocado sauce. Moved away but will always stop here every visit. Great service and friendly owners.
Took the metrolink to Olvera Street to get some good eats! After reading a few reviews, our first stop was El Rancho Grande. Very friendly, reasonable prices and good food.
It is a small place in the middle of the market. The food was delicious. The waiter was nice and it was not so expensive.
Quick service Mexican restaurant. Menu is pretty limited, but seem willing to make something not in the menu, if it's a variation of something they serve. The enchiladas were very good and flavorful, the taquitos were a bit dry with minimal filling inside. The red salsa was amazing, would definitely recommend buying some chips and red salsa. Close/convenient walking distance to LA Union train station
There are many taquerias on Olvera Street, but our favorite has been El Rancho Grande. Their Taquitos and Guacamole Sauce are the best in my opinion. Their tacos and enchiladas are also very good. The service is always good and they’re usually packed, just wait your turn for a table and be ready to enjoy delicious Taquitos. There is a small lot close to the entrance on one side and two big lots on the other side.
My family went to olvera St for the day and it was great !! So to end the day stopped at El Rancho Grande and it was awesome for us 😍. Took pics with pepe & Jr. Owner and cook.🤣🤣. We even had Mariachi come play a few tunes to top the day off..
Food was Alright customer service was excellent but the food is not for me but other people may like it. It’s something different

Pretty good experience with pretty good food in a cool old place 😀
Lukewarm enchilada with unmelted cheese. It seemed like they just didn't care enough to heat it up. There is so much good Mexican food in LA, I regretted going here.

Very disappointed with my last visit with dia de los muertos - drove from nevada very excited about this day. They were busy so I stood by the counter watching this man who looked like the owner just walk back and forth - people on the tables waiting for their food. After like 15 minutes standing there I did not ever get acknowledged by this man. The service is terrible. If you can organize yourself and get and order of fried tacos in timely manner then there's some work to be done. Unfortunately had to to drive (after paying 20 dollars for parking) to king taco.
