👍👍 Decided to give this place a try for my daughter's birthday. The food was absolutely delicious (I recommend #22!). They have very generous portions of salsa (10 out of 10!). My husband ordered home made spicy salsa and he was very impressed. It's spicy! The atmosphere was very quiet and clean. My on... People often mention delicious, staff,

Very friendly staff. They make you feel welcomed. Thank you, El Ranchero!

    Convenient location, located at Interstate exit across from McDonalds. Really fine tasting food with great selections and good size portions. The Salsa is really yummy along with the restaurants other items. Comfy environment, plenty of parking and friendly staff. Excellent food & service Clean environment

    I had the lunch fajitas, which were a huge portion of food and came with four hot, grilled flour tortillas. Their rice is next level — you could tell they cook it in chicken broth as opposed to water, which adds so much for flavor. Service was also fantastic - highly recommend!

    If you like the Mexican food, do you need to taste this place... the menu is very different and more fancy! Portions are so big and delicious! This restaurant is perfect for families and big groups! Is new in this area but they have all that you need to have a very nice time in your visit. Love the decoration, the lamps are unique and made exclusively for this place! They prepared very carefully every details, including the toilets!! They speaks in English and Spanish! Ratio quality/price 10/10... Totally recommended!!!

    This place was so amazing!! Service was wonderful and so was the food. Friendly staff/environment as well! My mom and I shared the birria tacos and it was plenty for the both of us! My dad got taco Al pastor and they were incredible and probably enough to share as well. Highly highly recommend!

    10/10 recommend eating here! The place is clean, the food portions were great and our food was delicious. Also, the staff was very welcoming from the moment we walked in, to the moment we walked out.

    This was my first time trying this Mexican restaurant since it opened and I was impressed by the food. Our waitress was really attentive and gave insight on the menu. I ordered the Birria Tacos with Mexican rice. It was really delicious and seasoned really well. I will definitely be back to explore other menu options.

    Amazing food, and even better service. The staff is so sweet and attending. I left my wallet in the booth and began to walk out when one of the staff came running out with it. They are awesome!!

    Best quesobirria ever! 2 meals out of it for me! So glad I chose them for my birthday lunch. I was so hungry. I didn’t post a picture until after I had eaten one!

    El Ranchero absolutely hit the spot when we were craving Mexican. They have so many great choices, decently priced, with very generous portions! The chips, salsa, cheese dip, and guacamole was also very good! I'm picky about my guacamole, but it was made perfectly and was delicious! The time between ordering and receiving our food was no longer than 5 minutes. We were surprised at how quickly the food came out! Staff was also very friendly and prompt with service. We will definitely be going back! 👍

    Second time coming here and it was delicious yet again! Their chips are always warm and fresh!! Fast and friendly service too. I’m from Southern California and most Mexican restaurants around the area are just disappointing but I love El Ranchero!! ♥️ Love sitting outside and enjoying the fresh air.

    Located in the former Ruby Tuesday location but clean and festive refurbishment of the interior. Food is fresh and tasty.

    I told the manager several times over the phone bath did not put queso cheese in my order. It truly inconvenienced me to turn around and leave work for them to fix this issue. He argued me telling me that cheese was added when clearly it wasn’t. I am highly displeased with this. You can see the picture attached.

    Always enjoy eating here. Solid food at a reasonable price. I do wish the Monday beer pitcher special would return though.

    Service was great, food was a bit of a let down. Cheese dip was good, chicken was fine. Veggies with my meal were definitely from frozen. But makes sense with such a large menu that some stuff is going to be from frozen.
