Terrible service from the waitress or host. She was very rude and had a bad attitude when we had lunch last weekend. The food itself was good, but the experience was really disappointing because of the service

I wanted a WHOLE pollo a la brasa but the menu only has 1/2 then I ask the waitress and she didn't know what to answer, finally I ordered a 1/4 pollo a la brasa and as soon they put it on my table I cut a piece and BINGO it was reheated 😞, I always tried to support my Peruvian food but I get SO mad when they served OLD food 😞, NEVER COME

I wasn’t too familiar with Peruvian food besides tamales, so I kept it simple in effort to try something new. If you can truly cook..the simplest dishes will feed your soul. The fish was soo fresh. Being from Miami, I can always tell if my seafood is freshly caught or frozen. Everything was made to perfection. The sauces they give you add soo much flavor to an already complete meal. Authentic food that can be easily explained to help you find your perfect match for your tummy. I went back days later,& yum yum. My server Ricky was so awesome answering all of my questions. I can’t wait to come back for the ice cream. They were out of it today, but they make an ice cream from a local Peruvian fruit. Sounds so yummy. The food was very reasonably priced. I will be back with my son. He is going to love it here. I spent $25,& could not finish my food. I had plenty for later😊

The price for the small amount of chirron de pollo and yuca was ridiculous. And the taste was average at best i was so disappointed and will not be back.
El Rancho in Sarasota, Florida, offers an authentic taste of Peruvian cuisine in a no-frills, family-style setting. We started with Papas a la HuancaÃna, a rich and creamy appetizer that set the stage for a flavorful meal. The chicken causa was beautifully layered and well-prepared, while the grilled steak was tasty and perfectly seasoned. Everything was fresh and carefully presented and portions were quite generous, reflecting a commitment to quality. For dessert, we enjoyed lucuma ice cream, a rare and delicious treat with its distinct caramel-like flavor. The restaurant clearly caters to a Peruvian clientele, as evidenced by the Spanish-language news playing on the large-screen TVs. While the atmosphere is casual and welcoming, the price point was higher than expected, coming to around $50 for two. Overall, El Rancho delivers authentic, well-executed Peruvian cuisine, but diners should be prepared for a slightly premium cost for the experience.
Best pollo and ceviche Ive had! My favorite place to go when I visit Sarasota!!! recommend 100%

Food is fresh and delicious. Portions are big so this is a great spot for hungry people to fill up or for light eaters to have leftovers. The staff is friendly and the place is very clean. Stop by for a quick lunch or hang out for a leisurely dinner.
