This was my first time visiting the beach location, as I usually go to the one in town. I had a craving for fish tacos, and since the nearby restaurant had a long wait, I decided to try this location instead.

When I ordered, I didn’t even look at the menu—I just asked for fish tacos because I’ve had them at the town location before and really enjoyed them. Unfortunately, I was disappointed as soon as the plate arrived. The tacos looked completely different from what I was used to and honestly didn’t look very appetizing. What I got was minced fish with just some pico on a tortilla, which wasn’t what I expected at all.

After checking the menu, I realized that what I got did match the description here, but when I compared it to the town location’s menu, the difference was pretty drastic. I’m not sure why there’s such a big change between the two locations under the same name, but these tacos were not good, and I left feeling like I wasted my money.

I really hope the beach location can get on the same page as the town spot when it comes to the seafood tacos.

Very affordable Mexican food right on the beach. I've been here many times over the years with my family and the food has always been very good. The salsa is fresh and tasty with just a mild kick of spice. I featured Los Rancheros in an article I wrote for Brewhoppin many years ago highlighting local spots that were delicious and affordable and gave my highest regards to the Hot and Spicy burrito. It's still on the menu thankfully but I tried the fajitas this time and was very satisfied. The portion size was very generous and the flavor was amazing. I put just a tiny bit of Cholula on them while they are still sizzling and it adds an extra kick of heat. Service was very friendly and our server made sure our glasses were never empty.

One word. Gross.
I never have high expectations for these types of places but……gross. No flavor. Not even salt. Quality? Gross. Must be surviving off tourists that come once and don’t return.

This establishment was very rude and disrespectful to my family and I. While visiting from out of town on Sept. 20, 2025, we searched for Mexican cuisine. Several places came up the search but we chose this spot because of the reviews and the food images looked good. We were seated quickly, and ordered the 2 for 1 drinks since it was the Saturday special. The chips that were brought to the table were stale. We didn’t complain. The drinks were mediocre…, which we never complained. Two of our orders were not correct…. My nephew didn’t get steak on his order and my food was totally messed up. The server ( who was very condescending when we initially ordered) had the audacity to suggest I take that food which had lettuce, guacamole, and sour cream on it (none of which I ordered) and they would bring my fajita veggies on the side. I smiled and declined because I wanted my food how I ordered it. He said it would be 5 mins to make my order. That 5 mins turned into 15 mins. STILL…. Never complained. We are on vacation and just wanted positive vibes. My newphew nachos were very dry so he asked for a small queso so he could eat his food. The server brought out a huge bowl. My sister asked the waiter was he charging for that …. He didn’t respond and walked off. So now it’s getting to be awkward. We get through the meal and ask for the check …. He charged for a large bowl of queso. At this point we ask for him to take it off or charge for the small he asked for. He refused. We asked for the manager. He started getting hostile and in a harsh tone saying “Oh OK… You want the manager! You want the manager! Oh I will get the manager for you!” At this point we are looking like what is really going on.
The manager came over and I explained the situation about the order not being correct and just the whole experience. He had an attitude as well, but he agreed to charge for the small bowl of queso. He brought back the ticket put a small bowl of queso on both tickets. Instead of listening to me when I explained only one person asked for queso he stated screaming and using his hands all in our face saying he didn’t charger for large. He was slamming plates on the table. We just looked at him in disbelief. If you add up the two charges…. essentially you did still charge us for a large, Sir. At this point, we just paid and left. I’m big on tipping. I tip 20% and above. Even with bad service I will still tip. This was the first time in my adult life I did not leave a tip. All the eye- rolling, condescending words, and screaming at your patrons does not motivate me to tip. They were extremely disrespectful. Would never go back to this establishment. I just wonder how many others have been treated with such disrespect. Will not let them ruin our trip, but I always make known places that have bad service or where there was a bad experience.
