Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Wow factor times great food. Authentic taste with each savory bite. Horchata.. they had me at yes we do have it. Great tasting salsa. Chicken flautas with corn totillas.. Definitely good. Chicken had flavors not just bland chicken stuffed in a tortilla. Wonderful. Highly recommend eating here. Prices were reasonable. Overall great."
"Very small restaurant and it fills up fast, the tried to seat us at a table with another group of people which I declined and waited for a 2 person booth to open up. The decor is old and the place appears like it could use a good cleaning as it felt slightly dirty. The prices were decent, portions decent, flavor and quality of the food was pretty good. They give you chips and salsa on the house, the chips are light and crispy but the salsa wasn't anything special and was slightly bland tasting. I would definitely visit again but wouldn't go out of my way. Wish I could give 3.5* but that's not an option so I'll give them the benefit of having 4*."
"El Ranchito was great! The food was excellent! Cudos to Chef Javier. The service was excellent! Dennis is a real treat. The owner, Daniel, is very welcoming. The prices were excellent! Five of us ate for $100, drinks included! The jalapeño margarita was super hot, the standard maragarita was also great. The carne asada was awesome, as was the fajitas, tacos and burritos. Salsas were very tasty, my favorite was the queso dip. I really liked the fried ice cream and churros, next time I'll try the flan. I can't say enough about El Ranchito! We really enjoyed this place! I hope everyone visits them. You won't regret it!"
"Really good, fresh pico de gallo, guacamole, and salsa. Not crazy about ranchers sauce but just opened the burrito and ate it with chips and fresh stuff mentioned above."
"This was my first visit and I really liked it! Server brought me complementary chips and salsa while I decided what to order. I ordered carne asada, which was not as flavorful as others I’ve tried but still good. Good portions. The server was attentive and kind."
"Very authentic. Great food. Love molcajete. Wonderful service."
"This was our first visit and we loved it! We will be back for sure. We ordered the beef and bean nachos, fish tacos, birria tacos, molcajete, and chicken taquitos. The birria tacos were not as flavorful as others I’ve tried but were still good. That’s the one dish we would leave off next visit tho. Everything else was delicious and I have no complaints. The server was attentive and kind."
"We have eaten here many times and have never had a bad meal. I love the salsa because there are not a lot of jalapenos in it."
