El Ranchero is my favorite taqueria in the bayshore. The tacos are the best in the area and the mole is delicious. The food is fresh and the service is fantastic. I recommend this to anyone!

The food is good here , I’ve been order food so many times. Good price and good food Never have a problem, today I call place an order for pick up and also want to pay over the phone , the lady who’s answering the phone is so rude, I ask for pay over the phone , she said No ,she can’t do it , I ask why because it’s not my first and always did that , she said “ I don’t know who did that for you , I can’t do over the phone , ONLY for delivery can pay over the phone, I don’t know what’s different deliver and pickup for pay over the phone , she’s rude with the attitude I can feel over the phone , she needs to provide her services.

Wonderful weekend lunch!We really wanted breakfast, however we arrive at 12:30 on a Sunday.They were very accommodating when we asked if they could put fried eggs on top of our Nachos Rancheros, they said yes.Nachos RancherosFresh crisp tortilla chips (flour)Topped with black beansCheesePico de GalloAvocadoJalapenosWe ordered without meat, though there is a choice of meat if you like, and added 2 fried eggs on topMy daughter ordered Pechuga de pollo a la plancha (grilled chicken) platter with rice, beans, salad, tortilla, it was so much good, only $12! The chicken was like 10/10 Delicious, a little smokey, xxx really tender, beans and rice were amazing. Salad was plain but fresh.Arroz con leche was warm, comforting, full of cinnamon flavor, like a warm hug in a mugCafe Con leche was perfect, the best cup of coffee!Breakfast served 7:00 - 11:00amVegetarian options: Almost every menu item could be ordered with rice and beans, thank makes it vegetarian, they also had a veggie taco, nopales taco. Burritos, tostadas, nachos could be ordered without meat. If you order without cheese, then I believe it can be vegan.Parking: Residential neighborhood, very difficult to find any parking spotKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, though they did not offer us a kid menu

Restaurant was recommended to me and did NOT disappoint. I ordered the steak tortilla platter and was seasoned well, big portion and reasonable price. I highly recommend ordering just keep in mind made fresh so will be a slight wait but well worth it! Be back again!
