El Ranchito

Good service, reasonable prices, far better than the average Mexican restaurant in the area,

I really wish you could give half stars. This is 4.5 Tex Mex eatery. Fresh as Tex Mex is by nature. The complimentary chips were an hour or so old but that’s to be expected on an early Saturday afternoon. All the dishes served to our party of five were well prepared and plentiful. I did notice «spice» or «heat» was lacking. The Chile Rellonos was above average. Chicken enchiladas also well prepared and the green chili sauce I requested was really tasty, but void of any «heat».Avocado used liberally on the accompanying salads which is always good… Great food at fast food prices. Can’t imagine you could per take of any better Tex Mex at this price in the tristate region.

I have to say I was very surprised at the quality of the cuisine here. Authentic salsa, main courses & margaritas! The quacamole was to die for! I had the Fajitas Carnitias my guest has the Pollo Fajitas & Steak Nachos, all of which were excellent. We dined during a late lunch hour on a Sunday & the atmosphere was that of more family than college students, altho I’m sure this is a great place for the younger crowd during a sports event! I’ve never given a restaurant a five star rating in the Charleston WV area… I’ll definitely be back!

Always a good experience at El Ranchito. They’re better than your typical Mexican restaurant in the area and the food is always hot and fresh. I typically get fajitas or a chicken entrée. They also have drink specials during the daytime. Easily my favorite Mexican restaurant in Huntington.

Friendly, clean, quick, fresh Mexican food-​always busy too! Eat here about 2x a month and note wide variety of clientele-​never had a bad experience here and recommend it fully!

This place was great. The service was fast. Our food came out in 4 minutes and 23 seconds we timed it lol.

Food is always delicious. Veges are crisp, food is served hot, and beer is ice cold. Win-​win-​win for us. Love this place.

I really love this place, they have a great menu and are willing to make just about any changes to the order you can dream of. Unfortunately I will only go to this one as opposed to the one in 20^th St because I can’t stop thinking about the guy who was shot there.

Pool tables, wifi, bar, hot college women, huge table space, and great food it almost makes wanna go back and waste another few years in school. I got burrito Cali and my date got chicken fajita nachos, both were great. 32 oz dos xx lager was awesome.

Having spent a fair amount of time in Mexico I am picky about my Mexican food. Most places are tex-​mex but this place does it right.
I’m there two to three times a month. The food is always delicious, service is fast and friendly and portions are generous.
One of my favorites is the civeche but I have yet to have anything I didn’t like.

For a hole in the wall, this place has a couple unique traits:
1) the guacamole is very chunky. I love the change of texture for once. All the solid ingredients in it are chunky — the avocado, onions and tomatoes. It allows you to practically isolate the tastes to an extent
2) the vegetarian chimichanga is very good. Mine was fried just right without the typical overcooking. The veggies in it seemed legit as well.
Despite the guess that this was likely an old Wendy’s, I really enjoyed the experience as the wait staff checked on me quite often and seemed to care for all the peeps eating here.

Love this place. So friendly and their guacamole is so chunky and delicious.

I’ve only been here once on my way to a meeting in Huntington, so a word of warning that my review may not be completely representative.
I went there for lunch on a hot, summer day and was greeted by nice burst of cold air when I walked it. Not too bad. but I began to freeze in a matter of minute… I think you could have hung meet in there and it would have met the health code for temperature!
I went to the restroom (I wouldn’t recommend this if you don’t really have to go) and it felt like the kitchen was 90 degrees. It was clear the thermostat was probably in the kitchen and the AC just kept running in the restaurant area and not doing much for the kitchen.
Now onto the food side… chips and salsa… good… chimichanga (without peppers and onions)… amazing. I just ate it quick to prevent from catching pneumonia.
Service was OK. Prices are good.
I’d prefer to get my order to-​go next time :-)

By far the best Mexican food around here! Love the chorizo and salsa. Also the drive thru window is super handy when I’m feeling antisocial and just want some take out and a movie.

Fantastic better-​than-​the-​rest authentic Mexican cuisine. You can get the ‘regular’ stuff you’re used to seeing at run of the mill Mexican restaurants but Ranchito’s menu just steps it up. I recommend the simple but great al pastor tacos or the giant bowl of caldo de pollo, add avocado.
