10 Best Mexican Restaurants in Claremont

“Overall 4star at best. Went for a date night to experience the Dia de los muertos fixed menu and it was pretty underwhelming. Cocktails are great. Tacos are very good but too damn small. Guac is excellent. Chile relleno very good. Service was atrocious though. Servers were hustling but booked too many patrons with short staff. Owner apologized and made it right by giving us a gift card to come back, which we will. Most times we come service is good. May have been homecoming weekend or something, seemed like an unusually large crowd Saturday night.
Keep making tweeks with the staff, menu and food to get those ratings higher. You guys are on the most prominent corner in downtown you have to stand up to that challenge and be the best. Ambiance and decor have that wow factor now the food and service need to catch up. Good luck.“

“delicious and fresh Nexican food. lovely atmosphere as well. great guacamole and mole sauce too“

“I’ve been going to El Ranchero for over 20 years. The food is good and the portions are great. I almost always have leftovers to have lunch the next day.“

“First the service! The people and staff are amazing…starting with the leadership: Antonio and Gabino! Then we have Yadira, Mariana, Javier and the really nice bartender who gave my son fruits! Also don’t forget the support staff - they work really well as a unit! Impeccable service: kind, thoughtful and attentive!

Next, we have the food - so many options. As vegetarians, we just are amazed @ the variety: burritos, enchiladas, tostadas!

Two more things - happy hour is great! Must visit…and last thing is the location - summer time with live music sitting outside is amazing!!!!

We just keep coming back here…HIGHLY recommend!

Vegetarian options: Many.“

“It is a nice, and typical, Mexican restaurant. This one is located near Sprouts Farmers Market, in Claremont. I have visited this establishment, only once, in May of 2024. I came here, after work, to have my dinner. Since I live close by, I thought to visit this restaurant. The meal, that I have ordered was Chicken Mole, and for dessert I have ordered flan. If my memory serves me well, those meals were delicious. At the same time, the prices, too, were not on the expensive side. I have paid $28.00, with a tip. Furthermore, the place was neat. Without neatness, there was ample of space, to sit down, and enjoy a meal. Of course, when I came, it was the middle of the week. So, I am not familiar with weekend service. Still, if anyone is in the Pomona/Claremont area, I would recommend to visit this restaurant. It is conveniently located on Foothill Boulevard.“

“Su comida deliciosa y mis amigos Juan y Yolanda unas finísimas y amable personas por cierto hoy tortas ahogadas estilo guadalajara los espoeramos“

“Great food but a very busy place and sometimes the wait can be tough, especially when you are hungry.“

“food, drinks and staff are excellent!“

“I wouldn’t say it was Mexican food! I had grilled shrimp and rice with mushrooms and sautéed vegetables! Everything was so good!!“

“Ordered a lot of tamales for our New Years get-together, and they were delicious! They even had vegan tamales for our plant-based eaters. Their red and green salsa goes well with the tamales (as advised) as well as their homemade guacamole. This is the place to order tamales for your parties!“
