Got the Super Quesadilla. ? ? SOO GOOD. The cheese on the inside mixes with all the other flavors, and it is unbelievably good. Nachos and cheese dip are amazing, like always. It was pretty expensive, though.
October 2024
Today are food did not taste good it was bland and not real hot. I have eaten here before and like it. I will never go there for lunch anymore. Our server came to get drink order and drop off chips. Then rushed us to order our food then never came back had to asked someone else for our check. Then he was not very friendly because we had to asked for our check so we could leave. I feel like we were bothering him to serve 5 adults.

El Ranchero is a gem of a Mexican restaurant that deserves all five stars! The food was absolutely fantastic – each dish bursting with authentic flavors. Jenny, My server, was the cherry on top with her friendly and attentive service that made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was just as awesome, vibrant and inviting, perfect for a night out. Couldn't recommend this place more for anyone craving a stellar dining experience!
