    Went here once. Waited about 10 minutes, got seated. Got no service for 15 minutes. Went to the bar to get a drink order. Bartender, who has been around our table but hadn't acknowledged us at all said "well don't you guys have a table? Just wait, we'll be out there". And he was right! They DID go out there. And ignored us. So we left. It's not about being understaffed. It's about blatant ignorance.

    This was one of my favorite places to eat when I lived in Placentia. I have fond memories spent with my family enjoying the delicious food, and yet 30 years later, it's still amazing. The food was delicious, maybe better than I remembered, and the service was outstanding. I highly recommend trying this place.

    Not fancy but great food and drink. Their Margarita will make you smile and portion size makes for something to take home. Clean, good friendly service,

    Love it, love it, love it. The salsa is fantastic, the Mama Mia plate is my favorite (two small chimichangas with pico de gallo and guac), rice, beans....delicious. Service has always been great and prices are very reasonable. I love taking home a half dozen of their cheese tamales too! If I had to say anything negative, I wish they'd fix the torn booth benches, kind of uncomfortable in shorts. Other than that, all good!!!

    Fast and easy! Good Mexican restaurant. It's been there a long time! That's a tell. Best cheese enchiladas! We also had chicken tacos, and we shared guacamole! Margaritas were fabulous, too!

    Great food. Great customer service. Very accommodating. Everything we had from here was great. Big portions and great chips and salsa. Will definitely be coming back next time I am in the area.

    Took my granddaughter for brunch after a soccer game. She said, "The food was the best,"

    My GF makes me come here, the food is very sub-par. I ordered menudo today thinking it'll be great. The color was very dark, the tripe looked like it was frozen at some point. I don't recommend this restaurant, but that is just uh, like my opinion, man.

    Great place for dinner. Always busy only problem is orders are not followed us you request it. But servers said it's all pre prep and ready to cook

    A great place that serves delicious food. My guests and I savored every bite. We look forward to returning and ordering a different dish which will nourish our soul and remind us of Grandmother’s cooking.

    Very good Mexican food good service and good foods it's very busy here and the staff are nice they have free tortillas and salsa they have TV's and it's not that big inside we waited for 10 minutes before they sat us down the restroom need to be cleaned and they were out of towels lots of parking space it's in shopping plaza.

    The food was pleasant and delicious, but not amazing. I slightly prefer El Torito or Blue Agave over this place, I base my ratings off of quality, quantity, and price point. For the price though the food was quite delicious, but could've used a little more seasoning. The staff was very polite, pleasant, and personable. Would go back again.

    We are going to "The Whole Enchilada " for over 2 years We always had a great experience. But today was a worse experience ever. Before we had a wonderful, kind , nice , very welcoming waiters . Teo young sisters. They always would be check on us and be nice. In this time we had an older lady, she wasn't wearing a name tag , so sorry for this description . Nothing to do with her age. But she makes us so unwelcome, like she was irritated by our visit. I ordered a chicken tortilla soup, my husband and mother in law ordered roll tacos. My soup came luke warm , had no salt, no flavor, no chicken. I have to send my dish back to the kitchen. I wasn't offer other dish or anything else. She just tell me: Sorry. Took my soup and never back to check on other food. The roll tacos for my Mother in law and my husband were good. But our waiter never check on us. She asked us only once about refilling our water and cola , when she brought bill to us. After she just completely ignore us. So my husband has to go to the station to pay our bill. The worse experience ever. So sad. I used to like this place. Don't want even go back.

    Pretty good food, but didn't get the sense the place was very clean. But then again, it was clean enough for me to continue eating there. was a great place to catch up with old friends. Long wait times.

    Ordered takeout. Normally, no complaints. This time the Tacos were greasy and had relatively no taste. Will go back again. Maybe they were having an "off" night.

    It was my husband's and I. Our first time here, we loved our food that we ordered, prizes were very reasonable for our budget, we will deffenetly come back to the whole enchilada, thanks everyone.

    We have been eating at The Whole Enchilada for over 35 years and love it every time! Since they've closed their Diamond Bar location, this one in Placentia is the closest and totally worth the drive.

    There plates are big enough to share with. The food is very good. They serve alcohol and there Margaritas are something else. The service was very good.

  • 5/5 Jessica G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, great service! My family and I are locals and have been coming here for years!! Always good and we have never been let down.

  • 3/5 Felix P. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was delish, service was less then expectations. Server needs to be retrained on table service, he approached the table and never offered or brought refills on drinks…had to ask after showing empty glass….no friendly service, felt like it was self service. Tipped my expected amount, but should of tipped nothing or much less. Please retraining is needed!!!

    Quesadilla with oily and greasy salsa taste like ketchup paste service was good, use to come here alot but out of town, was in town so stop to eat This will be the last time

  • 4/5 Paula B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is very good. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because we were given menus, we were ready to order, and the waitress said their credit card machine was broken. Neither of us had enough cash, and I said, "Why didn't you post it on the door?" She said they're putting it up now. With a roomful of people, they waited to put the sign up?

    Chips and salsa are awesome. Food was amazing. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Casual wear is perfect for a feel at home place. One of my favorite Mexican restaurants.
