Medrano's

I went here with my hubby the other night. We have lived here forever and went several years ago and were not impressed but lately I had heard a couple of good things about this place so we though, Lets recheck this out. We had been going to Don Cuco's and I was just sick of the over use of cilantro and the runny salsa. Honestly we kept going because the beers were large and Ice Cold!!. We arrived at Medranos and were seated right away, I immediately noticed that the decor had been changed, maybe they painted or something? It looked cute and I was pleasantly surprised. I consider myself a salsa connoisseur of sorts and they have very very good salsa, with warm chips, nice detail. The beers were huge and Ice cold as well. We ordered the appetizer platter and everything was delicious and swimming in cheese. SO GOOD. my rating is a 4 only because of the casualness of the restaurant, I only give 5 for super gourmet type stuff. But this is definitely the top of my list and we are looking forward to our next date night so we can go back ( we go out just him and I every other Wednesday). Pass it on. This place rocks!!!!

Good parking, but a small place that fills up fast. Stake your place early. Great sound system, and some good karaoke singers gettin on it when I was there. $4 ICE COLD brews in the frosted goblet treatment. I didn't have any food, but the appetizers I saw people getting looked really good. I know there are a few Medrano's in the AV, but this has been my favorite one by far so far... so go get your sing on!

Always, always, always sit on the restaurant side and NOT in the bar area unless you absolutely have to watch a game. Trust me, you will thank me. :)

My husband and I come here often and we love the restaurant atmosphere. The bar area, not so much.

The salsa is usually a good indication if the restaurant will be good for us or not and it is great! The portions are very good and the servers are very friendly. They do have daily specials and great buffet prices if that's your thing. Plenty of booths which is what we like and they do have a projector to watch television on. They have DirecTV as their satellite provider if you want to watch a game or fight.

I recommend their fajitas, beef or chicken! Love this place!
