What Tammy Feilner dislikes about Olvera's:

I will not be eating at this restaurant again. I can make better Mexican food at home, and I am not even Mexican. The food we purchased had little to no flavor. When we brought it home to eat, it looked like it had been sitting under a heat lamp all day before being served to us. The chips were overcooked and nothing seemed fresh. I now feel sick after eating there. In the future, we will be sticking with Bernadinos... View all feedback.

I had a great experience at this restaurant, both with the food and the margarita! The Mexican cuisine tasted very authentic to me. My waiter, Jose, was pleasant and attentive. There are so many dishes on the menu that I want to try next time. The service was excellent. I had a dine-in lunch and was satisfied with my meal. I look forward to coming back to try more dishes in the future. Keep up the good work!

Great food and service!! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Nestled in Ridgecrest, this family-owned Mexican restaurant impresses with its authentic cuisine and friendly service. Diners rave about the generous portions and standout dishes like chili verde, enchiladas, and the crispy cheese dish. The complimentary chips and salsa earn particular praise for their freshness. While some guests enjoy flavorful meals and satisfying margaritas, others express disappointment over bland dishes and lackluster presentation. Nonetheless, the majority of patrons commend the attentive staff and welcoming atmosphere, making it a popular stop for both locals and travelers alike. With meals priced reasonably at $10-20, it’s a great value for a fulfilling dining experience.

Olvera 's is one of our go-to spots for dinner. They have a wide menu selection and great service for a very fair price. If you want a place for yourself or your family to have a tasty sit-down meal (and a margarita or two) at an affordable price, this place is for you. Dietary restrictions: Just ask the server if they can accommodate your need. They will let you know if they can or can 't help you.

The food at this restaurant is tasty, and they are very willing to accommodate elderly customers who require special seating arrangements.

We saw restaurants on google and Olvera’s came highly recommended, so we decided to try it in the city for a night. this is a small jewel, excellent eating, fast friendly service and a great atmosphere. I don't think they can go wrong with any court here, and the churros are amazing. the prices are fabulous.

We love getting takeout from this restaurant, but dining in is even better. The food is always hot and fresh, and we are thrilled that they now offer a full menu. We appreciate that they fill their veggie burrito with a variety of vegetables instead of just meat and cheese like many other restaurants or taco shops. The beer selection is good and we prefer it over mixed drinks or wine. We keep coming back because the food is delicious and cooked in the restaurant's unique style.

The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere with friendly service and delicious food. The bathroom is very clean and there are no pests seen. It is a lovely old-fashioned family-owned Mexican restaurant.

I visited this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon and was delighted by the delicious food they served. The portions were generous and the prices were reasonable, especially considering the recent increase in inflation. The complimentary chips and salsa were very flavorful, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Personally, I really liked the chiles rellenos (stuffed peppers) dish. Additionally, our server was attentive and friendly, even though they seemed quite busy.

We stopped here for a quick brunch before we headed out to Death Valley and were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. The complementary chips and salsa were delicious too and it did seem like the chips were fresh. They were happy to accommodate vegetarian preferences. The chili relleno was not too breaded as it is in most places. The rice and breads were great. I was not a huge fan of the vegetarian burrito as it was primarily roasted vegetable (zucchini etc inside. I should have asked them to add guacamole on the vegetarian taco as well as I’m sure they would have considered it.I do want to mention that my friends who ordered the fish and shrimp options were really happy with their order.

We love taking from here, but the food is better in. Hot and fresh! So glad we have full food now. I guess they fill the Beggie Burrito with vegetables and not just rice and beans like many restaurants/taco shops. Filled beer is fine not to interfere with mixed drinks or wine. Come because the food is great, house style cooking.

Chicken enchiladas with beans and rice were delicious. Chili Verde burrito, wet, also super tasty. We were there between lunch and dinner on a Saturday. It was very quiet, which was nice. Server was knowledgeable, pleasant and efficient.

I decided to try the Chili Verde at this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation, and I was not disappointed. The pork in the dish was incredibly tender and the portion size was just right. I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the salsa served with the complimentary chips was. I also highly recommend trying the Horchata. The service was efficient and the staff was very friendly. Overall, I'm happy I chose to dine at this restaurant.

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Although the exterior was unassuming and the interior a bit dated, the service was friendly and I enjoyed a delicious steak burrito for only $8. You can definitely have a satisfying meal here.
