Would definitely be a regular if I lived in the area! Good portions, tasty food, loved the chips, salsa and queso!
Fantastic business, perfect for late night Mexican food and it’s DELICIOUS. Arguably best Mexican restaurant in town
El Rancho is consistently one of my favorite places to get food from. I have been eating here for 15 years! Their staff are always so friendly and their food is amazing! BEST QUESO IN TOWN—HANDS DOWN! 😋 Please note they have tried to change their hours on Google and are running into trouble doing it. I am posting a picture of their CURRENT hours for the foreseeable future. Come support this small business in downtown Columbia! ❤️

El Rancho serves great food with incredibly large portions, making it a favorite among locals. The menu features reasonably priced and tasty options, including the popular super grande steak burrito and the delicious fajitas with dark-cooked vegetables. The steak nachos and chicken chimichanga are also highlights, providing something for everyone. The atmosphere is casual and pleasant, with a focus on comfort and simplicity. While the place hasn't been updated in years and can be a little sticky, it still delivers good, comforting plates of Mexican food. The hot sauce is a highlight, and the hospitality is consistently praised by customers. With extended hours until 2 am, El Rancho remains a convenient option for late-night cravings, bringing back great memories for many alumni and locals alike.
