El Ranchito Mexican Restaurant - Clarence

We love going here. The soup is to die for and so flavorful. My husband and boys love the carnitas. The carnitas bowl was perfect for my son. Waitress was awesome and we never were left without chips and salsa..5 stars

This is my favorite El Ranchito location out of the 3 that I'm aware of. Try the Birria Taco, absolutely delicious! The server with bright colored hair was really attentive and we loved her...

We're from Texas and have been missing Tex Mex food. It's been a really challenge to find Mexican food that tasted like home. The queso and margaritas were spot on and the building sure reminds me of small business Mexican restaurants back home. But sadly I'm still trying to find the Texas fajita steak that I grew up with. This thin sliced sandwich style beef just can't match. We will be back tho. But I'll just get a ground beef item for the main course. So close! Otherwise it hit a lot of buttons.

The food is always exceptional, and so is the service. We've been to this establishment many times over the years. The service this time was terrible, the food was spot on, but it waitress was not too be found. I had to ask for the check after sitting for 20 minutes once we were done, and still waited 5 minutes for the waitress to clear the table and give us the check.

Food was great super fast . Like 5 minutes fast which leads me to believe that everything is premade, but it was very, very good. When we came in only 1 other table but the place filled in . Service was good but not great

Wow. This place has lost a major step since the previous ownership and head chef left.
The old version of this place was exciting, and a fun environment but they’ve lost it since then.

Food came out instantly which was already a red flag to us. Food was bland as could be, almost flavorless, and the quesadilla was wet, and dripping grease and the chicken was dry and overcooked. (Everything almost tasted like it was microwaved)
Waitress was okay, not super nice either, and the whole vibe of this place is different, and not in good way.

It’s a shame, but i would unfortunately not recommend wasting your money here anymore, especially compared to competitors like the sensational Taqueria Los Mayas in Cheektowaga which is the best Mexican food you’ll ever have.

Best wishes, El Ranchito , but y’all got some improvements to make to get back to your ole’ roots!

Amazing food and drinks! Don't listen to the negative reviews, yes the owner/cook may have changed but the food still is absolutely delicious! We had the Birria Tacos & Enchiladas Suizas. The meat was so tender it melts in your mouth. Salsa is nice and a little spicy. We will be back soon ?
