The food is not that good to me (the fajitas are cool), but everything else is great. They have the best drinks and I love the karaoke. It's one of my fave spots. I eat elsewhere and come for drinks and chips with salsa. The bean dip and salsa are so good.

The bar and some areas surrounding the bar look a bit run down but I had way to good of a time to give it anything lower. I had some friends with me sitting at a table with a sampler platter along with some drinks enjoying the night with karaoke. Great service too with friendly staff waiting happily to help you out. If you are thinking about it. Come here on a Saturday and get one of the tables next to the bar.

I'd like to give them more than 5 stars. The food is good, fresh, very reasonably priced. They offer great specials during the week. But it's the staff that keep us coming back. Especially Jesus at the Palmdale mall location. We've been to the other locations, and they're all equally good. But again Jesus and the whole staff here are phenomenal. Even when other waiters have taken our order, they're very good too. I usually never have to ask for refills or anything, because they are there at the ready for refills, more chips and salsa. We do frequent this restaurant quite often. And plan to do so for a very long time. Update: 2/14/26 my original post shows it was 6 years ago. Full disclosure, we have been here numerous times since. And now today on valentine's day. Went on valentine's day, they were very busy. But even so, they got us seated quickly. Took our drink order, we already knew what we wanted, so ordered then. Chips and salsa were almost immediate. Drinks came next. Dinner came just a short time later. Everything was hot and delicious. The staff was outstanding.

My family loves dining at your amazing restaurant although the last 2 visits the service was horrible we ordered the buffet on Sunday brunch we weren't offered mimosas at all even though I was told that your 36.00 price was because of the brunch including mimosas even though we were offered Zero mimosas I honestly feel you should have a price for like 24.99 that would not include mimosas since my family couldn't even get refills on our drinks let alone even get a mimosa at all.I would love to see you expand to the Victorville area as it's hard to find a good Mexican restaurant in the Victorville area

This was my first time eating here. Unbelievable service by our waiter and food was great. Alfonso who was our waiter and was really on top of everything. Always attentive and checking in. He was very helpful in deciding on choices of so many great dishes on the menu. He was honest and the choices we made were spot on. Will definitely be back.

A friend took me here for my birthday and I loved it. The staff was excellent! Our server was the best; I wish I got his name because he deserves a lot praise for his customer service. The food was very good and while I'm not a fan of flan, the flan I got for a birthday treat was delicious! I will definitely come by again when I'm in the area.

Wonderful staff, they checked on us every 3 minutes to see if we needed anything else. The food came in hot, and the plates were HUGE!!!! The place is very clean and incredibly authentic Mexican Restaurant. The art on the walls and just the whole aroma gives you the best vibe of being in a real Mexican Restaurant. I can't believe we don't come as usual, but after our visit last week, we will make it a weekly visit! Thank you for being so kind to my wife and me.

Medrano’s is an authentic Mexican restaurant with live Mariachi performances and great food. I love the enchiladas suizas; the melted cheese blends perfectly with the shredded chicken and tangy salsa verde. The accompanying Spanish rice, refried beans, and house salad with creamy ranch were also tasty. The service is always good, too. I can always count on Medrano's for authentic, satisfying Mexican cuisine.

Bacon-wrapped jumbo shrimp-- need I say more? We left an hour-plus long wait at Olive Garden after calling Medrano's and being told we would be seated there immediately--which we were! The place was beautifully decked out for Christmas inside. The food came quickly, and was excellent. We encountered at least 5 different staff members, all of whom were very friendly, accommodating, and concerned about our satisfaction. We'll be back!

I love coming here to drink micheladas they are well made but they are about $15 each if you come here and eat with a partner we prepare to spend around 25 to $30 per person they do have a buffet on the weekends which is around 35 per person 14 per child The food is amazing but I usually come for the drinks and the great atmosphere as they're always playing great music and it's never too packed I always find a seat right away and they do accommodate for large parties. The bar here is separated from the main dining section which is also a plus because you get to hear the music and also if you get tired of your family you can get up and go get drunk on the other side while they eat. Don't order the Chile relleno here...... trust me

Had party of four today for Fathers Day. went for the buffet for the first time. and it was the worse I have ever been to.. All the food was cold and the price was crazy to consume all that awful food. We will never eat there again. the only service that was good was refilling our beverages..

This was my second time going to Medrano's. I had the carne asada Taco plate and my wife shared a molcajete. The food was very very good and authentic. For dessert i had the fried ice cream, was very very delicious. The margarita and piña colada was tasty. I highly recommend. They have live music on the weekends and also kareoke. The service was prompt and friendly. So go and have a good time with good service and awesome drinks.

I had such a wonderful time watching the basketball game here and the food and drinks were truly amazing I will be coming back real soon.. And to top it off they had great customer service and was on point with checking to make sure that everything was great or if I needed anything.. Well done!!

I came here tonight with my family and we were seated right away. Chips, salsa and bean dip are complimentary and very tasty. Their margaritas are very strong and just what I needed after a long stressful work week. We all were very happy with our food and ate so much there were no leftovers. I had the chicken taco and enchilada plate, hubby had the chicken burrito and kiddo had the chicken burrito kids plate. Her meal was $9 which I thought was pricey for a kids plate but that's honestly the only room for improvement. Our bill was about $54 which was expected. We had 2 people waiting on us and they were very friendly without being overbearing. We'll absolutely be back!

This was my first time eating here and I will be back. The food was delicious and customer service was the best I’ve had in the Antelope Valley. This is the only place I will go for Mexican food from now on. If you want good food, good customer service, and good prices this is the place for you.

Medranos is a staple restaurant in the antelope valley. It gathers people from all nationalities and units the guest with a great environment! Wonderful service, great food and entertainment! Brunch buffet are amazing and has everything including omelette bar! On the weekends it’s a great place to let out of stress and swing your hips to great live mariachi bands, karaoke and live DJs! #1 for food and entertainment. Highly recommend!

First time heading to this restaurant on a Sunday morning. Unexpectedly saw a brunch buffet with live music. Our server David,really left an impression. Super sweet and definitely made sure we had everything we needed. The food is amazing too. Packed with flavor! I'm the kind of person that loves a good hot meal and they definitely make sure their food is hot! The mimosas,the food,the options,the service...amazing. I plan on spreading the word!

The food is great! Very delicious! The only thing they need to work on if they're going to still have the buffet is working on the French to be a lot warmer. I tried the waffle today. It was very delicious The service is great. The waitresses are great. They attend you really good I recommend for whoever wants to try. It's very good food. They have all kinds of variety

We hosted a Christmas party here recently. We had a buffet with Steak/Chicken Fajitas, beef/chicken burritos, cheese enchiladas, salad and beans/rice. The food was fantastic and the staff were attentive. They stayed on top of drink ordering, bussing tables and were very friendly. David was great and made sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed. Would definitely do this again for any occasion!

Delicious abondiga soup yummy. Plenty of parking. Enchiladas, rice & beans good. Chips & salsa served automatically, but free refried beans when requested for chips. Waiters a bit neglectful as they like to talk a lot amongst themselves while the assistants care for the tables needs.

Medrano's has some great food and great specials. One thing that we really appreciate is their take out containers. They use aluminum containers... not Styrofoam, not plastic. Not only are those containers worse for the environment, they can be toxic to your food.

I was there on a Saturday night and had the Mexican Steak for dinner, which was good. I also ordered a couple of margaritas that tasted delicious. They host club nights on the weekends so expect lots of music with dj or live bands, along with a dance floor. If you’re looking to have a full dinner on a weekend night, get drinks and dance the night away, this is the spot for you! They might even offer you a chance to do karaoke on certain week nights. Gracias, Medrano’s West Palmdale!

Excellent Mexican food. Great atmosphere and drink selection. The food reminds me of eating at friends mom place. Friendly quick service. They give you chips and salsa and bring your drinks out super fast. Food came out piping hot and was very good portions. Recommend this place coming from the central valley.

Wow! The best service I have ever experienced in my life. They check on you every 2 minutes, very friendly. The food was amazing and came out in less than 10 minutes. I ordered the beef flautas, they were huge and loaded with juicy tender flavorful beef. Definitely will return and pass this on to everyone I know.

Only popped in for a beer after eating in a different mexican restaurant. This place was alive with karaoke...the atmosphere was great, the singing not so much. Had the world's largest beer in a frozen glass. Couldn't comment on food, but it looked ok!

Took my family to eat here when we baptized my son. They were really nice and helpful. It was a lot of us so took a bit long but we were watching the France vs England World cup game so we didnt feel it. The only problem we encountered was one of our dishes was not properly cook. They were quick to fix it and change it. But that was the kitchen's fault and why I gave them 4 stars. But service was great will definitely come back again.

Medrano's, first and foremost, has absolutely delicious food. What they say is true that you can tell very quickly how good a Mexican Restaurant is by the quality of their chips and salsa. These chips are very crisp, not greasy, and shaped as the perfect vessel for dipping or shoveling the salsa in. The steak fajitas are absolutely wonderful. The steak is beautifully seasoned, standing tall on its own if it had to. However it never needs to since the medley of onion, peppers and tomatoes compliment it perfectly. The side of rice and beans with pico and guacamole is a solid accompaniment. But here's the other part. It's a bit chaotic in there. I don't know if there's a method to any of the madness, but there were 4 to 5 wait staff overstepping and overwriting each other at every turn. Having one at a table, maybe two waitstaff is more than enough. It got very overwhelming every 3 minutes to answer the same questions over and over again due a potential lack of communication in the back. This, however, did not get in the way of how friendly the staff was. They were accommodating, helpful and very pleasant. The food was delivered promptly, and exchanges were always polite. The atmosphere was a bit claustrophobic feeling, but this could have been due to being seated in a main pathway for all employees, and the Sunday Brunch Mariachi band playing at each table, making it feel a bit stressful. I mightve just come at an inopportune time for my own preference, but I figure it would be worth the warning. All in all, Medrano's is a very positive experience, and the food alone is enough to not only come back, but absolutely crave. This one is worth a trek.

Sandra C.

The first time here went for the brunch, but I made it last min about 20 min before it ended. However the food was very good. I enjoyed it. Drove a little bit to get here, but was worth it. The parking was good, not packed, but sometimes it can be an issue finding a spot. The service was good. Definitely will be coming back. Unfortunately, I didn't get pics of the buffet since there was a time crunch.

Needed a place to eat in a pinch. This place has a lot of good reviews. Food was decent. Service was excellent. Sports bar type atmosphere. Lots of TVs everywhere. They had the Dodgers game in every TV. Brought out crayons and coloring pages for our kids and that kept them entertained (well that and the giant TVs).

L&B Cleric

The place is nice, service is very friendly. Food is ok, typical "American style" Mexican food. Prices are in the low-medium range, but watch out for parties over 6 people, they will add automatic gratuity of about 18%, which apparently is legal now (Why do we still tip?). Will still recommend for casual dining.

It was Thursday karaoke finals, what an exciting electric experience to see the locals come together from the Lancaster Palmdale area and it wasn't a regard male/female or age! It was a coming together to enjoy some awesome talent and to vote and just cheer them on! Congratulations to all the winners 🏆

We went to celebrate 🥳 a birthday. The service was beyond 😃 the food was tasty and they even brought a shot of Patron to the Birthday Boy! 🥃 We left happy and full. We'll definitely be back! We ordered The Chef's special combo, chicken flautas combo, and a burrito and taco combo plate. These are our regular "go to" items that we order and weren't disappointed. 😋😋😋 Our waiter was on point and readily available if we needed anything. It cost $115 + tip for the 3 of Us. The atmosphere was homey and relaxing. We were there late afternoon, on a Friday, so it wasn't busy yet, just the way we like it. 🙂

Went during the week at lunch time and wasn't busy at all. Service was fast and friendly. Refilled drinks quickly. Chips, salsa and beans were complimentary and those were also refilled quickly. Ordered the Botana de Mariscos, which was okay. Not that good for the price. Only one small shrimp of each kind and lots of octopus and tomatoes on the one tostada. The avocado which they give you alot of also, was very good and fresh though. They do not carry tartar sauce for the fish or shrimp :/ and the cocktail sauce is more like a ketchup. My husband ordered the Carne asada torta. He didn't like that the cheese was just a thick cold chunk.. I will have to go and give it another try ordering something else, maybe?

Had 2 drinks and 1 entree and paid over $100 for myself. We went as a group and split checks and our checks came out on post it notes with no breakdown. When I questioned how much the drinks were (with no prices on the menu) I was told each drink was $28. I didn’t order any drinks with premium alcohol. Just a really shady business model, and the food was really mediocre.

F
Francisco Alvarez

The food was good, I ordered the chicken enchiladas and the were good. The only issue I had was the drinks we ordered. We ordered a tequila sunrise and vodka and coke. The vodka tasted more like whiskey and the tequila sunrise watered down. If I am going to pay almost $15 for a drink I expect it to be a good one. Our server was great and checked on us often and got everything to us quickly. All in all 3 stars.

We used to come out for weekend karaoke frequently but ever since Amy & Jonathan left it's just not the same. The woman who hosts it now talks too much betwern singers & she cuts off the singers before their song is done. We love the food & the friendly staff but no longer enjoy karaoke nights there.

The Carne al pastor is terrible. There is nothing “al pastor” about it. It was literally a piece of steak grilled without any marinade nor seasoning- plain meat, and they threw a canned pineapple ring on top of it (I had to ask for the pineapple because they forgot it)

For years I used to always come here with my mom and being a person of habit I always ordered the Chile reano and cheese enchilada combo plate. Unfortunately last time got food poisoning while I was pregnant and had to go to the hospital so I'll probably never eat here again 😔 but the food tasted great and the service was always good.

Inconsistently enforced dress code. Volume was bizarrely loud. I had the neighbor take everything out of my pockets. But they allowed someone to come in wearing a hairnet, looking like a cholo.

I went in to the bar with some friends on a Saturday night after a show and the drinks were so overpriced $10 for an ultra which is what I had . I was very disappointed that they only played Spanish music , definitely would of liked to hear some more variety of dance music. I will definitely never go back

B
Britta Pelawa

The Monday & Tuesday DJ for karaoke would rather belt out his own slow 8th grade dance songs than the requested music. He keeps shouting "Make some nosie" but who wants to make noise after the slowest love ballad known to man. Medrano's needs to find a different DJ for Mondays & Tuesday, as they've lost quite a few patrons after this fiasco today 3/18/25.

Were do I begin? I came to Medranos Friday night and sat at the bar section because there was almost no available seats available. I then ordered a chile relleno (Anaheim) combination plate that came with rice and refried beans. Me and my boyfriend tried to start a conversation with one of the guys making the drinks at the bar and he just seemed in a bad mood. Luckily the younger guy at the bar proceeded to help us throughout the night. Verdict on the food I ordered: 👎 chile relleno was flavorless, the rice was a bit dry and flavorless as well. I'm not exactly sure if I'll come back.

literallywhoareyou

I’ve been coming here for years and I love the food so much but I’ve learned that eating in will always be better than getting food from here carried out/delivered. First, are the portions which are crazily different especially since you’re paying the same price or even higher but for a smaller portion. And second is the quality, I had an entire avocado in my guacamole while my fiancé had an entire half of a tomato in her tortilla soup. i love eating here but i’m disappointed in how rushed the food seems to be when you get food to go:( the beans r super fire though

J
Juan cendejas

Over charge after I left. Good thing I keeped my receipt, however when I called the host was rude and did jot want to help at all. No one able to help me solve my over charge issue and when asked managers name the host immediately responded with I have things to do and need to hang up. I told her I was not being rude why she needed to hang up and continue with same response . Definitely do not recommend going there and If you do save your receipts and use a credit card to be able to dispute the overcharge amount. Customer service sucks. Marsha if that is your real name be more helpful next time, is not your fault but at least help resolve the issue in your best way possible. Owners take pride in what you do and train your employees to have a better response to problems like this and do not allow them to overcharge. Shame. Update 2/17/2026 after the review I gave Anna called and was great she listened and was able to review the overcharge and figure out why it happened. I like to give true reviews. Everything worked out after Anna called, Also Anna was very professional when handling the situation. Way better thanks.

Well how can i explain we got there and sign up on the waiting list to be able to go to the area where there was music and where told that we will be called. Meanwhile we order our drinks and some chicken nachos. You can tell this place was overwhelmed because all you saw were the waitresses running back and forth for orders. We sat in the english side and they had karaoke. We waited and waited AND WAITED and it was about 2 hours in when we decided we wanted to go home. The “security girl” that was supposed to come and get us when it was our turn never came. I did see there was a lot of fooling around with the securities. When we left we talked to a tony who apologized for our wait and noticed that they crossed our name off the listed but no one ever came to get us everything is out of control in this place. And it was annoying.

Nightmare! best word to descrive it graduation night and only 1 waitress and 1 guy from the bar helping her. We waited for the food for almost 1 hr and when we finished eating 80% of the tables were still waitting on their food. And to our surprice we got hit with a very hi mandatory tip included in our tap. Def dont recommend this place at all, horrible experience and very exagerated prices this place wont last long guaranteed. Super over exagerated prices total I paid 185 for 2 beers 2 pina coladas and 2 fajita plates and a highly exagerated tip. Stay away from this place unless u wanna have the worst date of your life!

Today we went there for Mother’s Day brunch .we had a table of 7 my husband went to pay the bill for a party of 4 and we were charged for the whole table not realizing until we got home even though we asked for the bill to be split. I called to speak to the manager about it because everyone in our party was completely overcharged and the manager, will, was very rude and hung up on me. He was unprofessional and yelled at me that he was busy and couldn’t handle my issue at the time. On this post this person Ana asked for me to call To speak with her about the issue she so happened not to be in , therefore I left my information with the girls in the front whom pick up their phone's , I called on Monday , Wednesday , today and haven’t received a call back it’s funny how they can over charge us but when you call and complain about it no one wants to respond . Definitely unprofessional with their management skills

Dont even waste your time for the Sunday brunch. Food was plain as can be, no flavors and over priced. Very attentive employees thought but the back kitchen not putting enough love in to cooking

Stole money by adding a 15 percent tip on my tab without my approval making my bill 137.00 for a party of three. For one Buffet two 2 item combos and a appetizer no beverages only water

We went there last Sunday (4 adults, 2 kids ) for the brunch buffet ( yes, just the buffet) when I got my check I noticed a $78 tip already applied. I always do tip reasonably. Be careful at medranos they do overcharge. The food and service is average

Not good, after giving this restaurant a chance ordered a plate ending up getting food poisoning. Was sick all night 1/10 was not feeling good. Hospitality was good and nice mellow environment in the day time. Other than being sick food was good until being sick.

I had to leave a star to write this review!!! Wish I could give negative stars. First of all this is the most expensive disgusting food I have ever had!!!! Wayyyy overpriced! I ordered 2 drinks and 2 taco plates and the bill was over $100 ! Didn’t get drunk enough to enjoy the not so flavorful expensive meal. Portions and ingredients did not match the price!!! Highly disappointed. The waitress kept coming by to take our plates as we picked over it. I felt like we had the only dishes in the restaurant and they needed to clean them for the next table. Only thing positive was parking…. Plenty free parking so you can make a mad dash back to your car to make your own Mexican food at home! Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND! STAY AWAY

The kids up front charged me twice as much as the menu says, and tried to charge me again! $30 for stale chips and salsa when you order them to go, but free if you eat in... Online it says they are $8 each but she told me they were $12 each.

I was welcomed great but the waitress was so disappointing. This was the worst experience I've ever had. We come to Medrano's often but never had this experience or this waitress. We ended up not ordering and leaving disappointed.

The food was ok nothing special I ordered a steak dinner medium well and they served it to me burnt my wife ordered the asada tostada and the meat was cold on top of that they force you to leave a 20% tip that is not ok i don’t mind tipping but for them to force you to is wrong.

Horrible service. Had a reservation for my sister’s graduation last night. Table of 7 at 8pm. We got there on time they sat us pretty quickly. The rest of my party arrived around 820. It took the waiter another 25 minutes to come to our table and take our order. We didn’t seem him any sooner than that. The food was taking forever to come out. Every time we asked the waiter when it would be ready he would say ten more minutes. After waiting with my daughter until 10pm I finally decided to leave. They tried to bring me out a plate of fries for my daughter but honestly I just wanted her to have her food. Our entire table was complaining that they couldn’t even bring out my daughter’s order of a junior enchilada after waiting an hour. The rest of my family decided to leave at 10:40 after still not receiving any of their food. Worst service all of us have ever received.

Worst Mexican restaurant I've ever been to!!! I took my dad here for Father's Day and was highly disappointed. They had a bunch of middle school kids working and it just didn't feel the most professional but the service wasn't even the biggest problem. As soon as we sat down we noticed our table was wobbly and the music they had playing kept cutting out. The atmosphere was not it but the food was definitely the worst part, it absolutely disgusting! My little brother ordered an asada quesadilla and complained that it was nasty so l tried it myself and I literally spit it out. The meat wasn't seasoned or even cooked well. My shrimp cocktail tasted like nothing but ketchup, extremely sweet! Will never be coming here again!! Do not waste your money here!

Last few times the food has really gone down hill two tablespoons of rice with my enchiladas no onion cilantro or lemon with my menudo I’ll be going to El Toreo from now on Medronos lost my families business!!

Hi I went there and everything seem ok at first they gave me my food and I was happy to get my food. However I notice that only my plate that me and my 3 year son ate we got sick. I do belive that they did something to my food because only me and my son got sick. My 3 year son started to vomit and I my self was vomiting and had diarrhea be careful this has been happening with this restaurant. I thought I was the only me however going to reviews under 1 star I found out that this has been happening. I feel sorry for the person doing this and that you may find peace with God so that you don’t have to do this. And if you’re not happy seek the lord Jesus Christ that way you find peace not of this world but the peace of God. Remember all things have consequences and rather then lifting this business up you’re dragging it down by hearting people.

First things first, just don’t come here. Absolutely horrible. The service was a joke, staff was unprofessional, the restaurant itself is falling apart my table was wobbly and everything was outdated. However, the worst part of it all was the food. Unseasoned, small portions and overall tasted awful and to top it off unreasonably overpriced. I’ll say it again, save yourself the trouble and don’t come here.

My wife have been to Medranos numerous times and the food has always been great. However our last visit ordered a shredded beef burrito with rice and beans. The burrito had a mixture of beef chunks, shredded beef and right in the middle of my burrito a big piece of FAT! The rice serving on my plate was a child’s portion. I would rather go to Taco Bell or Del Taco. Standards have dropped!!

The service was just not there, she kept walking past my girlfriend and I and giving her weird stares. We should’ve left before we got the food cause the food tasted as if it were microwaved. I got a quesadilla and the chicken was not fully cooked and felt squishy, while my girlfriend got asada fries that tasted microwaved, the carne asada was unseasoned, and fries weren’t fully cooked. Also why are drinks $5 a piece? Overpriced for no reason. I paid $47 almost 50 for such a poor quality experience, not cool.

I paid for an extra soup that I didn’t get. I called to let them know and the person who answered was very nice and willing to help me and was very apologetic. I decided to let it go because mistakes do happen and they were very busy. However, when I started to eat my combination plate, which was a chicken enchilada, rice and beans. There was no enchilada sauce whatsoever and the beans were watery. So I decided to post a review because at this point it’s just unacceptable, busy or not. I do not want my money back. I just want them to see these reviews and get it together. Whoever is the cook needs to step up their game. They are not cheap to be serving this kind of food.

The biggest rip off is the bar. A Cadillac Margarita for $22.00? If it were a decent tequila, I could understand, but this is well tequila. Management needs to really take a look at this and make some changes or they will close down.

I gave this restaurant a second chance but I got disappointed again. My entire family got food poisoning including my 3 year old toddler. The waiter was pushing us to get drinks for the kids and food for the kids even though we explained that our little ones will share our food because the don’t eat much. Maybe this upset her. We all got food poisoning the next few hours. We even called the manager next day to let them know about this issue and instead of taking it as way to grow the business he took it as an offense and called us liars. He believed he got allergic reaction but food poisoning. Anyway don’t go there people are rude, you get food poisoning and management does not care.
