About this spot

Rancho Viejo Mexican Grill & Taco Shop sits on Edwards Street in Huntington Beach, California, a casual neighborhood spot that draws everyone from surfers to office workers and families. The setup is no-frills but the kitchen output keeps a steady stream of regulars coming back.

Breakfast plates feature crispy Chilaquiles topped with green sauce and over-easy eggs, while the lunch and dinner menu runs through king-sized tacos, the popular California Burrito with carne asada and guacamole, and rolled taquitos. The beer-battered King Fish Taco and a hearty albondigas soup round out a menu built around big portions and made-to-order meats and salsas.

The dining room is relaxed and family-friendly, with complimentary soda refills and wheelchair-accessible seating, plus ample parking in the back. It's an easy stop for a casual lunch with the kids or a low-key dinner after a day at the beach, with both dine-in and takeout available.
