El Ranchito

i come to El Ranchito at least once a week. they are a great family owned Mexican Resteraunt with wonderful salsa and thin crispy chips. their entrées are wonderful too. normally i would give the resteraunt ⁴⁄₅ stars (–1 star for cleanliness) but tonight i give them 2, although they really deserve only 1. i entered the resteraunt and stood with my family for over 20 minutes. there was a line of families behind me and more steadily coming in. although the resteraunt was busy and seemed relatively full, we were never addressed until we asked a cashier if anyone was going to take our name and seat us. upon being seated, i ordered a P5 (chicken and mexican rice smothered in cheese dip). i ordered an extra side of shrimp to put into the P5, too. my shrimp were completely overcooked and rubbery. in addition, every one of my shrimp had the skin left on them. i choked on the first one and then had to proceed to peel every single one of my cheese-​dip-​smothered shrimp. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! will not be coming back for some time!

We went on a Friday night /​busy holiday weekend. We were met and sat immediately. The service was impeccable and food outstanding. The margaritas are filled with flavor and a good well-​tequila. So glad we stopped here.

This used to be my family’s favorite Mexican restaurant but that has quickly been replaced by Papitos off of Countyline rd. We came here every Sunday after church but not anymore.
The food is just plain terrible now. I always got the taco salad with beef or chicken and used to LOVE the shell. Two times in a row I ordered it and the shell was stale and old. The beef was mushy and tasted odd as if out of a can. The waiters seem to have an «I don’t care» attitude about them. I don’t know what happened over the years. We were patrons since it first opened and I’m telling you the food quality has gone down hill.
There was a manager named Fernando who was very nice; we came by so often he knew us by name. He left after getting married but whoever manages it now pales in comparison. at least in service. Ah well. Papitos here we come…

Cheap… you get what you pay for. Dirty rude staff, high school hang out. My order has NEVER been correct. I had to send my food back 3 times and it was never right. I finally gave up and swear not to return.

Best Mexican restaurant around!!! Whoa… Good service, excellent food and service!!! They put the full pour to you!!!

Great food, incredibly quick service and reasonably priced. Tacos Al Carbon are as good as I’ve had.
They have a good family environment, and the staff remembers you after just a couple of visits.

Great food at a great price! My kids go there so much they have nicknamed it El Rans. I can go there and get full on real food for cheaper than I can go to McDonalds. The Speed Gonzo las or the P5 are Great! A good place to go after Church on Sundays.

I went with a buddy to eat at lunch. The service was well, the chips were fresh, the food was well prepared and the prices were low. What more could a customer as for? The Shrimp and Sausage Quesadilla was delicious and I left with a full stomach. The eating and dining area isn’t spectacular, but I would definitely recommend El Rachito to my friends.

Always a wonderful friendly delicious place to go for lunch or dinner!

It’s a sign that you go somewhere too much when they bring your drink without you ordering… haha. I forget to check in here and have come almost weekly in 2010.
Good chips and salsa and a variety of great Mexican food. The supreme borrito is one of my favorites!
