El Rancho de Sarasota offers authentic Peruvian cuisine with exceptional flavors and generous portions. The menu features popular dishes like "chijaukay," "pollo monstrito," and "Mostrito," along with the well-loved chaufa rice. The food is fresh and delicious, with big portions that satisfy hungry diners or provide leftovers for lighter eaters. Guests often recommend the seafood fried rice (chaufa), steak, papa a la huancaina, green pasta, and pollo a la brasa. The atmosphere is cozy, and the service is organized and friendly, with servers like Ricky being praised for their helpfulness. The restaurant is very clean and offers affordable prices, making it a great spot for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner with family. Visitors enjoy tasty yucca fries and seafood plates, and the sweet passion fruit drink is perfect for hot days. Although they were out of ice cream on one visit, the unique lucuma ice cream made from a local Peruvian fruit sounds delicious. Overall, El Rancho delivers authentic Peruvian food with generous portions, making it a must-visit for those wanting to try something new.
