“Our go to for Mexican food even above sit in dining restaurants the carne asada fries and nachos and the chile relleno plate are amazing and the price is budget friendly the staff is always accommodating friendly and welcoming keeps us going back we eat here frequently would recommend a try if ya haven't already you won't be disappointed you can dine in or drive thru or call in And pick up like we do only thing keeping me from giving it more stars is it only allows 5 but I'd say 10 the only recommendation I would have would be add pico de Gallo to the menu I really am not a fan of their PKG hot sauce (thru offer red or green)

Parking: Small parking lot under 50 spaces but seems adequate hassle free

Kid-friendliness: They offer a kids menu and the portions are great for price simple too“

“Always great food and great service!“

“Taqueria Bernardino’s has been a staple in Ridgecrest for as long as I can remember. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid, and it’s one of those rare places that still feels just as good now as it did back then. It’s not just a restaurant—it’s part of the community.

The food is always solid. Whether it’s the carne asada burrito, street tacos, or a plate of enchiladas, everything is packed with flavor and made fresh. Their salsa bar is always stocked, and the portions are generous without being over the top. You can tell they take pride in what they serve.

What really makes this place special, though, is the atmosphere. It’s super family-friendly, relaxed, and welcoming. The staff treats you like they’ve known you for years—even if it’s your first time walking in. It’s the kind of spot where families gather after games, or people meet up for a casual lunch and good conversation.

In a town where a lot of places come and go, Bernardino’s has stayed consistent—and that says a lot. Easily one of my favorite spots in Ridgecrest, and I’ll keep coming back for years to come.“

“always amazing service and great authentic food.“

“Been coming to Casa Corona for years. Was a little concerned when they sold original but needn’t have been. Service and food was great. Prices are still great! Love it!!“

“Best country fried steak I’ve ever had 10/10“

“Tasty, great value, super clean and new. Absolutely no complaints. Fresh ingredients and great portions. They newly opened, but have worked out the kinks. Go with confidence and enjoy! Plenty of parking and sitting inside, with some tables, etc. outside too.“

“Taco Bell is pretty much the same as in flavor. The young lady at the drive thru this evening at around 11:30 pm was very nice & pleasant. She had a wonderful smile & was very helpful & nice. Late night only the drive thru is open. So no dine in or take out. Store looks good. Nice, clean and neat. Good food for the most part too. More so at 2 am when the bars close.“

“Employees are very professional,and the food is amazing. They keep the restaurant very clean and organized. And service is very fast . No mess ups on my order and they are all so very friendly. They make you feel welcomed. I actually really enjoyed eating indoors. Thank you“
