An authentic Mexican Restaurant. Food was very good, nice portions, a variety from soup to desserts on the menu to enjoy. Mixed drinks to compliment the meal. Daily specials! Staff were very good and attentive. Reasonable prices, sufficient parking out front.

We love El Ranchito Restaurant! The plates are generous, the food authentic and sumptuous. The prices are very fair and decidedly reasonable. They often have Mariachis with a full complement of the horn section Friday and Saturday eves. The owner is a young gentleman who often greets his patrons with a smile and welcoming acknowledgment.

Ordered the combo that the waitress recommended Micheon I believe, it came with a carne asada taco, cheese enchilada, rice and beans! Was super tasty and would definitely eat again! Waitress was friendly, staff was great, pricing was good, good was so delicious!

The food is so good here, the service is always great too. And they make really good cocktails too. You really get your money’s worth! I recommend the sampler appetizer and shredded beef tacos. Any drink I’ve ever had has been nice and strong, not weak and watered down like other places. Great place!

We should have turned around and went elsewhere when the hostess says hi, kept walking, then comes back in and doesn’t seat us. We ask the busboy if we seat ourselves, he begins to grab menues when the waitress walks up and just says “oh” while awkwardly stands there.

Eat here for breakfast often. Portions are large. Waitstaff ranges from ok to great. Try and get a seasoned professional, not a young server otherwise your order may not be what you expect.
