I have been there numerous times and each time it's consistently good food, clean place, great service, reasonably priced.

I love the options that they have not your average and all good.

Tasteless (no salt or seasoning) and overpriced. Not trying to hate on this place, but it was bad - probably some of the worse food I can remember. Maybe I ordered the wrong item or the cook was having an off day. I almost always finish my food, but couldn't here.

I ordered their breakfast burrito that's $18.99 comes with options of choice breakfast meats and either hash browns or country potatoes. I went with all bfast meats and hashbrowns in burrito with a side order of country potatoes and a soft drink - this was $29.06.

I was ready for this burrito to be great, but it was an incredible let down. Throughout the bites of the bfast burrito I had there was little to no meat. All I could taste was flavorless egg and hashbrown with onions bits here and there for some flavor. The rare pieces of bfast meat were so minimal it was overpowered by flavorless eggs and hash browns. The only thing that offset the bland flavor was their decent green salsa that was more sweet than spicy. It helped me try to get through the burrito.

The country potatoes were somehow worse than the burrito. It was literally potatoes and a piece of green pepper. No salt, no pepper, no onion, no seasoning or flavor. I heavily salted and peppered these potatoes to give them some flavor and it barley helped. Potatoes were unevenly cooked as well - some soft and some barley cooked.

We just moved into the neighborhood and had such a wonderful experience at The Ranch Cafe. Our waitress, Lee, truly made our day. She was so welcoming, kind, and genuinely excited to have us there, which meant a lot as newcomers.

Lee gave us great recommendations and everything she suggested was spot on. The service was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel special instead of routine. It was the perfect welcome to the area, and we’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Lee, for making our day!

The food was decent, but some of the food was burnt. The atmosphere was chill and the decor was nice and definitely unique. The food that wasn't burnt was good. I would come back to try some of the other food. The menu is very diverse and had a lot of items. They didn't charge for the burnt sambusa. The people working here were very nice.

Hungry? It's a great spot ran by two hard working gals from a land far , far, far, away......Always welcoming with a professional additude. Chorizo n egg is a favorite- But for a far healthier version, try the Fer Fer. ( if spelled correctly). It is an Ethiopian dish w/egg, its just like the Chorizo w/egg , but all Vegan. Get sum home style potatoes, n corn tortillas with it, go home happy. That's all fer today folks. So folks, go get sum great food n Have a happy New Year !

Stopped here after a visit to the discovery cube with our toddler and immediately fell in love with the place. Full of regulars, such kind owners and the food was delicious. Will be returning!

Incredibly good food tucked away in a very unassuming little Cafe. This little hidden gem is a sleeper up in the Angeles Canyon. The unexpected Ethiopian menu was absolutely delicious, we ordered the sambusa, the chicken and the anjeera with beef stew.
This is such a great little place, filled with halt regulars and staff.
Definitely worth a trip if you're anywhere in the area, they're Mexican and American menu are pretty good as well.
Highly recommend.

Plan a trip to the area, & include this tasty place - Eat here! You will be delighted whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner. We gladly enjoyed the Ethiopian vegetarian plate, one of us fasted on chicken enchiladas, and another had a perfect patty melt - all was truly delicious and the whole experience was a delight. If only I had known about this place sooner! I used to often park near Hansen Dam in Lakeview Terrace (to start and end my long bicycle rides into nearby mountains and Tujunga canyons,) and the one thing we needed near the whole Dam area was the Ranch Side Cafe! Great Burgers. Cold beer! I urge you to plan your journey to come out here, have a great adventure, and enjoy some delicious cookin' at the Ranch Side Cafe!

This is the only place in the valley to get good vegetarian Ethiopian food and I'm never disappointed. It's so satisfying scooping up and eating delicious veggies with injera bread. It's definitely the best way to eat your veggies. I can't wait to be back.
