Came here after a hike at a Mission Dam.i had chips and salsa and they were so good! Fresh salsa three kinds. A fish taco and a shrimp taco followed and they were EXCELLENT. Will be back every time I hike around here!

I’m born and raised here in San Diego so I know my Mexican food. El Rancho is by far one the best Mexican food restaurants close to where we live now in San Carlos.

Google has been notifying me to post vids all of a sudden lately for some reason so here it goes lol.Place feels like a peaceful ranchy texas vibe, with friendly customer service. I ordered an el rancho plate, costed $15. I'm a meaty person so I added carne asada meat on the side for another $9, kind of expensive really for a plate like this to be almost $25. Next time I'd just order a Cali or fries plate with maybe rancho sauce on top? End of day, Place was delicious, and that was what mattered most.

El Rancho is great. Nice seating area with a bar. Good service and their California burrito is amazing with a rolled taco center.

Really disappointed the burrito size is less then half of what they were. Still tasted great but 13+ dollars it should be enough to feed 2 people like they use to for 10 bucks.

I had the carne asada burrito which I almost didn't finish because it was so bad. The carne asada was tough and untrimmed and tasted sort of gamey and old. The salsa was bland too.
