What can you say, it's week El Ranchito. Great food, great service and the salsa rocks. Never been to this location before, so it was a little surprising to see one without their traditional decor, but i understand being the city this is in.

We got turned away because we wanted to eat inside instead of outside. The tall skinny lady said it will take 35 mins. Not really encouraging for us to wait. It was not even busy.

I won’t be spending my money here again. The service was below average. Everybody was nice enough, but they were not able to deliver a positive customer service experience. The food is average. Not bad, but not incredible either. I would drive 5 min from this location and eat at Calo if you’re looking for better service and better food. It is Slightly pricier tho.

The Fiesta Botana or the Shrimp Botana is excellent. These are Mazatlan Shrimps in garlic butter. You have the option to add rice and beans for a minimal charge. It comes with corn or flour tortilla. The serving is huge and can be shared.
Service is fast and friendly. My family enjoy eating here. If you’re visiting the area, try this place and you won’t be disappointed. They also have outdoor seating.

My daughter and I eat here often. We love the family atmosphere, the food, and the servers are like family. I highly recommend.
Parking: It's in a center that has other businesses so the lot gets pretty full close to the restaurant. But there is a conjoined parking lot that's only a short walk. Parking is free. There are handicap spots.
Kid-friendliness: Very up beat kid friendly place to eat.
Wheelchair accessibility: My daughter is in a wheelchair and we were able to eat indoors or out and she was able to go to the restroom.

Albondigas soup: mediocre, at best.
We ate there July 9, 2024 and got the rudest server we've ever had. He was short, cutting and gruff in his responses. We don't intend to go back. It's bad enough the prices are extremely high for ONE CHEESE ENCHILADA! And the prices are outrageous...Never again!

Nice outdoor seating area with very good service. Food was tasty, just a little bit greasy for the burrito. Overall, it was our first time here and I’d come again.

Went for a relaxed Sunday lunch and was seated outdoors which I requested. The service, food and setting was exactly what I wanted -- low key, casual and authentic. Ordered the tomatillo chicken enchilada combo with black beans and rice along with a Pacifico on tap and lime...muy bien!
Parking: Standard free parking lot within walking distance located adjacent to a health club and other businesses. It was Sunday and there were plenty of parking spaces available.
Wheelchair accessibility: Available as well as handicapped ♿️ parking

Had to find parking,public lot 11,4$ hrs,
No overnight,and be towed @ 6pm-4am,open the app for public access to pay-ahead,reserve for more than satisfactory, free and affordable, but not only one of the best.
