El Perico Ranchero

We had taco Tuesday last night. The tacos were mostly amazing! We had two of each type of the tacos, my favorite was the El Pastore. The Carna Asada was very bland it was my least favorite. We will be doing taco Tuesday every other Tuesday from now on.

We wanted to try a different Mexican rest and came here! This place is SO GOOD! The Menudo was very flavorful and had a lot of meat and hominy! The fiancé had fajitas and of course I ate some and yes a lot of shrimp and a lot of steak! Also the beer mugs were frosty ice cold and beer was almost slushy it was so cold!!! This place is the BOMB. Our waiter Luis was great! Think this is our new hangout!

The food is amazing here! I had an order of cheese enchiladas with rice and beans. The portions are a lot and very filling. One of things must things to order here is guacamole. They make it freshly right in front of you. Everything was very delicious. The only down part was the service. There was one server and he was running around doing a bunch of other things. We didn’t mind since my friends and I kept each other company but it was a long wait. I don’t know if it’s always like that but the night we went was. Overall I would say this is one of my favorite local Mexican restaurants and I will be back!

Excellent Mexican restaurant. Great selection on their menu. Definitely coming back to try other items. Quick service for being a busy Cinco de Mayo night.

I came in for a quick lunch– and was graciously sat at a nice booth. Service was fantastic, and the chicken mole dish I ordered came hot from the grill. Great mole sauce, with just the right amount of seasoning. I ordered a lite Corona beer to accompany my meal, and it was brought with a chilled mug — always a happy sign. Food was great, service was fast and friendly. This is a small restaurant — quaint, and good for a meal with friends. I’m a fan– and will be back. Thank you!

My search for authentic Mexican in the Rancho Cucamonga area has ended. I figured I’d give it a shot after being disappointed by the past 6 restaurants. It didn’t disappoint. I had the Chile verde burrito and man oh man was it great. Flavorful and huge. It even passed the Mexican wife test. She gave up trying after the 3^rd restaurant but after she saw me jump in for joy she had the courage to try some of my burrito. Needless to say, she was wishing she got one herself because this burrito was ALL MINE. If you have been to an authentic restaurant you will know this is the real deal when you smell that goodness when you first step in.

It gets a 5 star from me as the food is fantastic! Service is great. Would like extra plate when sharing fajita’s. You get two plates (if you are sharing) with beans, rice pico, gaucamole, etc. but there is no room to load your tortilla up other than holding it in your hand. Extra napkins and a straw for your water would be nice. Don’t like drinking off the rim of a glass in a restaurant. Friendly and clean and great margarita’s!

The table side guacamole was awesome, The food was delicious and plentiful. Can’t beat the price, service was excellent. Going back with kids and I’ll keep going back.

Great food and Awesome service. This was our first time here and we loved it. The service was fast and we also loved the table side guacamole. I recommend this place to someone who likes good Mexican Food and enjoys good service. We are definitely coming back :)!

This place is still a great spot for a good Mexican meal! The servers are fantastic, quick and personable, never a bad experience. Will continue to come for margs and guac regularly

I love to go to restaurants where you have great service. This place has that. You never run out of chips and salsa or drinks. There is not just one server that helps you, they all do. The one in Rancho is small and there is a wait but it is worth it. The food is excellent.

Food is excellent… drinks are excellent… Ernie absolutely took care of us and anyone who lives in rancho/​upland should go here for the best in Mexican cuisine!

Had lunch here last Sunday the place is small the complimentary salsa was watery the chips were gross I ordered fish tacos an I couldn’t even pick them up because the tortillas ripped almost instantly there was barely any fish in the taco itself it was packed with lettuce my lunch date ordered an enchilada an upon getting the order the meat over totally over cooked. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone I know you’re better off going to taco bell

Got to grab lunch here a couple weeks ago while out with a friend. I got the carne asada burrito and it was a winner. The meat was well seasoned and cooked. All the ingredients in the burrito were great. Good horchata to drink too. The chips were fresh and the salsa was tasty. I will definitely check this place out again when I’m in the area.

Been here a couple times. They have good prices and good food. I recommend the tacos and chimichangas. Surprised to see only 3 ½ star rating, they’re better than that

This place is really good. I found my new tamale spot. Service was good and the mango margaritas are delicious.

Still LOVE it! Very authentic MEXICAN restaurant. Took out in laws and they loved it. We drive 35 min to go here

My dad came once before and liked it so he brought his girlfriend and my wife and me for dinner tonight (Sunday about 5pm). My wife ordered the steak fajitas and was told that they were out of steak except for cut-​up steak for burritos. She was disappointed because she didn’t want anything else, so I asked about a plate that had the description of cut-​up pieces of steak with bell peppers and onions, etc. but that was not possible, only steak burritos. She reluctantly went for chicken fajitas instead, after the waiter offered that.
Next thing we know, they send a confused girl out to tell us that «whoever ordered the chicken we don’t have it, but they found some steak in the back if you want that instead». Wtf ok great, that was what she wanted anyway… Until she got it and had to spit most of it out because of all the fat! She tried to eat it but gave up frustrated with a napkin full of fat.
My dad said it was like he came back to a different restaurant… his taco and tamale were not good like the last time, and he was disappointed with his meal also.
My chicken enchilada was not bad, but the beef one was tasteless and not good. The whole plate just seemed a bit greasy.
My dad’s girlfriend had a great looking salad, but she had to remind them that she ordered it after they didn’t bring it to her. Her veggie burrito was huge and she took most of it home with her.
The girl asked us how was everything, and I replied that my chicken enchilada was good, and same to another server who asked. When our waiter asked after we were finished, my dad told him it wasn’t as good as last time and that he didn’t really like it. Then he brought the $ 77 bill and it just seemed like a lot to me for a meal that was barely edible.
My dad said he won’t be going back, and neither will I.

Marketing is important and consistency is another important factor. Today was Cinco De Mayo and my family wanted to go here and for many years we have been going but over 4 years. We’ve been going to almost Their tacos (taco tuesdays) were cancelled due cinco de mayo (really). In turn we were forced to find another place that had tacos for cinco de mayo for Taco Tuesday. Dumb move we searched and search and found a place that has now replaced this location for mexican food. Sorry but another factor is opportunity both for the clients as for the patrons. You took opportunity because it was Cinco De Mayo to increase your prices as a 4 year patron it afforded me to look elseware for Good Mexican food. In turn I found better place to eat. Not a Good move.

This place is down-​to-​earth Mexican and has wonderful food guacamole they make right in front of you they also make a wonderful bacon wrapped shrimp you must try enjoy eating here all the time it’s quaint. Flori
